You hit the nail on the head with OS upgrades and longevity. Android consistently found a way to stop offering me OS updates. Whether it was the manufacturer, or the phone carrier, I would by a flagship phone and within 2 years stop receiving OS updates. Meanwhile, I switched to Apple and skip 2-4 generations at a time and hand down my phones to my kids, who still receive updates. It was only the end of last year that we phased the last iPhone 6 out of our family, a phone released September of 2015. A phone Apple replaced the battery in for $35 halfway through its lifetime. I’ll never own an Android phone as long as the carriers have any control over OS updates or baked in applications. Oh, and let’s not forget while phone backups automatically to the cloud. Every new phone I’ve purchased has continued on right where the last one left off. Settings and customizations I setup in 2015 are still working to this day on a phone that’s only a year old.
