That's exactpy why I get Google Pixel phones.

Support expires? Upgrade to custom ROM Ads? Upgrade to custom ROM Want to use it as server? Upgrade to custom ROM.

If I would use Apple iPhone, these old phones would be trash very soon.

The iPhone 11 was released almost 7 years ago and is still supported by the latest iOS.

For context, that would put it at the same release as Pixel 3 or Pixel 4. Those devices stopped receiving updates in 2022-2023.

That is not relevant for pixels at and above 7.they all have guaranteed 7 years of security updates, which is longer than iphones 5 years.
