This started with my LG g3. That was a flagship when I got it. My HTC M8 also died. I had a galaxy s3, s4, s6, and a note. The note 8 was the only one that survived longer than a year.

Meanwhile, my iPhone 7+ was in service for 6 years. I owned it until I upgraded to an XS, and a family member used it up until last year. I used the XS until I got a free upgrade to the 13.

I’ve used S10 a couple years back, the point still stands.

I've had several Android phones now, if I do change them before 3 years it's due to their battery.

1 billion people use iPhone, 4+ billion use Android. Both platforms are solid.
