From what I know, Google typically provides support for Pixel phones for about 3 years, which is relatively shorter compared to the 5-year support period offered by Apple for iPhones. I wonder if there are better alternatives available.

For the latest Pixel phones they guarantee 5 years of support by now.

  For the latest Pixel 6 and 7s, they guarantee 3 yrs of Android OS updates and 5 yrs of security updates: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705?hl=en#zippy=%2Cpixel-later https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705?hl=en#z...

    Hasn't compatibility mostly stayed the same since Android 4.4?

      Anyway, my point is: aren't the security patches enough?

        For two additional years? Probably.

The actual support for iPhone is actually more like 7 years BUT you should expect no more OS major update after 5 years (only security updates and hardware pieces).
