While I can clearly see how good iPhones are, I love my Android phones. The choice of choosing between different manufacturers is great for me. For example, I have been riding an Oppo Find X3 Pro, and I love it. The main problem that I see, is that while Apple concentrates in 4 phones per year (iPhone, iPhone Plus, iPhone Pro, and iPhone Pro Max), which all have more or less the same internals. Most Android manufacturers release 2030 phones per year, which different internals. The burden of supporting so many phones, is what kills any chance of long term support on Android IMHO. Imagine, in 10 years, Apple has to support 40 phones. In the same 10 years, Samsung or Xiaomi have to support 300 phones. The crazy thing is that most times, the difference between phones is so small, that I don't get what they do it.

That's a self-made problem, aka business decision. Samsung could release only 2 phones per year if they wanted to.

Correct. I am just elaborating on one problem that they need to fix.

I imagine they can do 5~9 phones per year and the situation should improve drastically.
