I still use an iPhone X (with new battery from last year). The Pixel 2 was released around the same time and is e-waste. Almost all apps run well with the exception of Google's, which have consistently gotten worse. The camera still starts up quickly, and the fact that most apps are still performant compared to an iPhone 13 is impressive. Google Docs is unusable - even small documents can't be opened, and the app hangs when opened more than half the time. Google Maps keeps adding misc features which adds significantly to startup time and responsiveness.

The Pixel 2 had a launch price of $649 vs the iPhoneX at $999, so ~35% more. That's not really a fair comparison, I imagine if you compare to a similarly priced android phone released at the same time, it'd be a closer result. Where apple does do well is supporting devices for much longer with software and security updates. So running older android phones is prob not a good ideas from a security perspective.

  True, but if you can afford it you absolutely can get 35% more lifetime out of an iPhone X.

  That is actually 55% more (or three other way around, 35% less)

My iPhone 13p can't run Google Docs without crashing on 50 page low-density docs. It is so frustrating.

Google apps don’t work anywhere properly to be honest, it is not due to the iphone X.
