FWIW I have been using iPhones for 10+ years and not once has an update ever failed or had any issues.

But my Google Pixel phone used to brick itself all the time, I think twice in the two years I had it.

I've never had an Android phone brick itself in 13 years of owning them. I have friends whose iPhones have gotten bad updates. Not sure if they were bricked, though, or if they "only" needed a factory reset to get things going again.

In the same period, 10-12 years ago, both androids and iPhones bricked themselves if there was no storage left on the device. Both needed somes bytes on boot and if they couldn't write on disk, they failed to boot.

Phones are Apple's main business. At this point, Macs are second-tier. With Google, I suspect it's their engineering practice. Google doesn't like to make engineering mistakes.
