I have an iPhone 6S Plus. Apparently it came out in 2015. The ORIGINAL Pixel was announced in 2016. I'm still getting support for the 6S Plus - I actually have iOS14 beta running on it rather pleasantly. It's plenty fast, too.

Based on support period, one can easily justify the most costly iPhone over the seemingly temporarily supported Google/Samsung etc. flagship.

Non-professional developers support Android Q on the original Pixel, but Google is too resource-starved, apparently.

I still rock an OG Pixel. I haven't seen an update in a while, but hardware-wise the phone is solid.

Why all of the downvotes?

Likely because your statement that your Pixel 1 still works and is not receiving software updates is exactly in line with the points being made in the comment you replied to, and people are probably interpreting your point as "but my device is fine, what's the problem". The problem is that your device which is still working fine isn't receiving software support.

If only they put even remotely good batteries in their phones. The battery they generally spec out seems to only handle one day of mild use (including accounting for Apple's very efficient processors), and VERY quickly loses capacity and other specs. I'm sad they don't provide an option for if you like having 3500mAh or more.

Unfortunately I still wouldn't be happy with an iPhone as I'm just not a fan of iOS

The batteries are usually decent for the first two years. After two years, getting a battery replacement from a 3rd party has gotten cheaper and can be worthwhile (right now it's 35€ for an iPhone 6S and 45€ for an iPhone X)

Comment was referencing multi-day usage, not overall lifetime

I tend to use my phone more as a computer with a lot of SSH, unzip/unrar, downloading audio files, editing audio files, sending videos, full file manager access, and I want to move to iOS because I am absolutely not liking Google at all, and have tried, but it's just not there yet. I see improvements being made, but things like not being able to hold open an SSH session without subscriptions or expensive applications is a big issue for me. iPhones also can't play .webm's and other media files. I have a 6S plus I keep trying, but its personally not there yet.

Also not a fan of face unlock and wish they'd implement a fingerprint into the screen. I usually block out the front camera and any sensors that I don't use.
