buying a brand new android every year

We've had wildly different experiences with these companies, for what it's worth.

I bought an iPhone X back when they were new, and had to get it replaced twice within the first 6 months because of hardware failures.

Conversely, I kept my Pixel 3 (from 2019) until last year.

That’s how stuff works. Different people have different experiences. I had to get my pixel 3 replaced twice under warranty for a known screen issue. The pixel 7a, believe it is, is currently in the middle of a mass battery failure issue that really should end in a recall, where they’re refunding people often more than they even paid for the phone when it happens. Every flagship pixel up until the 5 had major hardware issues.

iPhones have, historically, been the best phones you could get in terms of being built to last, which is also why Apple have such long software support for them.
