  Thats your experience. I've had the complete opposite. A 4 year old iPhone that still felt as snappy as it did the day I broke it out of the box. Never had an android that felt like that after 6 months. And Apple have generations of devices that have gotten a full 7 years of support. We still havn't seen a generation of Android do that since Google changed their policy. I sincerely hope it does happen. Competition is better. But here is a site with some EOL info on Pixel. Pixel 6 support looks like it ends in 3 weeks with a grand total of about 5 years of support. https://endoflife.date/pixel https://endoflife.date/pixel Compare this with the iPhone 11 that came out in 2019 that will be able to run iOS27 (comes out next week) and the Pixel 6 that came out in 2021. And the original point was, "why iPhone over cheap android $200." Pixel 6 was a flagship phone with a launch price of $599. You could have gotten an iPhone 13 mini (release in 2021) and for an extra hundred bucks, been supported until at least 2028.

    Starting Pixel 8(including 8a) the support window is 7y for those devices.

      Yes I know that. But you were saying track record. That's a 3 year old device. Let's not say they have a track record until they take a device cradle to grave in 8 years. A lot can happen in the next 4-5 years. Then you claimed Apple doesn't have a track record and they have taken a device, claimed 7 years and actually done 7 years cradle to grave.
