Short ? Wake up and smell the coffee.... iOS updates at least for 6+ years.... Android 3 yearsAndroid for me as Apple''s ridiculously short planned obsolescence of it's iPhones & other devices gets on my #%$£&@£ nerves
Same here, still iPhone 11, it keeps working, fast and new updates / OS so why change. Support until 2027I went from motorola(s), to noika to blackberry & then to iphone 4 circa 2010, & stayed with Apple now using iphone 11 (3 models behind the current 14). I once considered an android, but was advised there was a learning curve and my life was hectic enough at the time. I have several Apple products and they just work, and work seamlessly with each other. I eventually bought in a mac_mini for work, which easily links with iphone, although typing this on primary win10_win10vm.

Really?... I stand corrected then. Perhaps I've noticed it more because i've not replaced Apple's products as frequently because of their price but certainly I have had a couple of iPads and an iPhone which I couldn't update IOS on which meant apps rapidly couldn't be updated. Not experienced that with Android products but then they're (generally but not always) cheaper to buy/upgrade. I'll still stick with my Android vote though as more choice.Short ?

Always been like this..Really?... I stand corrected then.

In terms of apps as I age (I am 28 now) the scope of apps I use keeps narrowing so can’t really comment.Android for me...a lot more customization and apps like ReVanced, AdGuard, and many more which aren't available on iOS or don't work as efficiently. Also, Google's Play Store has a lot more free apps than Apple's. Never owned an iPhone... maybe I'm missing out on something good but for me, it's too late to switch.
If you don't wish to commit 100% to an iPhone, an iPad is a decent option to test the waters. The experience between the iOS and iPadOS are closely similar.Android for me...a lot more customization and apps like ReVanced, AdGuard, and many more which aren't available on iOS or don't work as efficiently.
