> Because they last 3 possibly 4 times longer. An iPhone Pro is 3 times more expensive than an average Android phone too. If you buy Android flagships after 2022, they also last 4-6 years. | ||

> If you buy Android flagships after 2022, they also last 4-6 years. The hardware lasts but they usually stop getting software updates after a few years, especially if they're not high-end models. Last month, Apple released an update for the iPhone 8 and iPhone X [1]. The iPhone 8 was released September 2017. I seriously doubt 9-year old Android phones, even flagship models, are still getting software updates. [1]: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/02/02/apple-releases-ios-16-7... | ||
