I bought an iPhone because Android vendors kept leaving me high and dry after a few years. I'm now on year 6 with the iPhone and it's still working great. As I understand it, I have another year or two before Apple stops supporting it with updates. That makes the iPhone far cheaper than any comparable Android phone I could have bought back then. Maybe today Android vendors are offering longer support horizons but I've been burned multiple times and won't trust that ecosystem again. To me this feels more like the situation where someone with money in the bank can buy $200 shoes which will last 10 years, while someone living paycheck to paycheck has to keep buying $40 shoes that fall apart after a year.
