I'm considering switching to an iPhone after being disappointed with my Samsung A54, which started having battery drain issues and bugs right after I paid it off. I've always been an Android user, but I'm looking for a reliable phone that lasts at least 3-4 years without fancy features or big screens. I've heard great things about iPhones lasting 4-6 years and still performing well. I recently checked out the iPhone 15, and it seems like Apple is making progress with USB-C and widgets. I just want some reassurance that an iPhone would be a smart choice for durability, as it feels like Androids aren't meeting that need anymore.

I used to prefer Android for its customization until I got an iPhone. The simplicity and reliability of the iPhone is fantastic! After a few years, I'm considering going back to Apple after being pleased with how well my iPhone worked.
Honestly, both Google Pixel and iPhones are solid choices if you're looking for reliability. Just be cautious with Samsung; their budget models can be hit or miss.
According to Apple's website, they expect their devices to last around 5 to 7 years. I've personally been using iPhones since the 3Gs, and they've held up impressively well for me, making them a solid choice if you want something reliable. Of course, major changes like the chipset can affect that longevity, but overall, iPhones are dependable.
I've had a few since the 3Gs too; they've generally lasted me around four years each! Good investment.
iPhones generally hold up very well over time. From what I've seen, lower-tier Androids can struggle with durability, but flagship Androids can match iPhones in longevity without issue.
While flagship Androids can be a match for iPhones in terms of reliability, a lot of midrange Androids just don't hold up. If you’re after long-term performance, I'd steer clear of the lower tiers. Stick to good brands like Google Pixel if you want something that’ll last.
Yeah, even with older models like the iPhone 6S, they still release updates. It's surprising how long they last!
