Used to have iPhones, but the forced obsolescence has driven me to Android phones. Last one was a Motorola Razr/V, currently an Oppo RenoZ. Probably the next one will be an Oppo as well. Middle of the range Oppos have 8+ core CPUs and 3+GB RAM so they are snappy. The cameras are Ok, not iPhone grade, but good enough for me. Samsung appear to be better phones, but at a considerable bump up in price.
I tend to upgrade when the battery doesn't last a whole working day. So far have only dropped one phone.

- account-5 3y agoHad my old android for 6 years. Really only replaced it because the battery got bad and the cost of a replacement was about the price of my current phone. But even then I'd expect something as expensive as an iPhone to have a longer support lifecycle. My current £100 Nokia is a bargain if it lasts 2 years.
