I'll give apple this one thing.
They are really, really good at backup.
I recently had to wipe my dad's iPhone, I manually backed up his pictures just to make absolutely certain they were all saved but everything else I didn't even bother.
I logged him back into his apple account and everything immediately started downloading again.
With Google, you'll get your text messages. Your contacts, your pictures, your videos. Maybe your YouTube history and subscriptions but any random app probably uses Google backup services but it might not.

I was on Android for years. Galaxies and Pixels. Around the 2 year mark they were always barely working and with a battery that needed to be topped off several times a day. Slow, hot, poor battery, glitchy. Always
I got a 12 pro at release and it’s rock solid as the day I got it and I have no intentions of upgrading it. I’ve used it since launch with no case and yeah it’s for a few scratches here and there but despite all the drops etc it has no cracks either. It’s a tank. A tank that just keeps fucking working as it should.
