Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won’t anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

Security/OS updates: 4 years on typical android at this point (fair phone claiming 7) 5 on an iPhone.

I did a battery replacement on my iPhone 7 at about the 3 year mark and got another 2 years out of it. Full updates from apple and 100% App Store app compatibility that whole time.

iPhones get OS updates for ~6 years, security patches for longer. In 2021, apple updated a 9 year old phone with a security patch.

Apple is objectively the only way to go if you want a device that you’ll be able to use for >5 years.
