My phone died :( (hexbear.net)

My trusty Samsung Galaxy S7 that I bought in 2017 is bricked and now I must buy a new phone. What are the recommendations of the hexbear community for a replacement? I was satisfied with my elderly phone except that there was a lot of junk that came with the phone that I couldn't delete, and for the last couple years or so I've had to delete an app before I could add an app, so that was kind of annoying. But other than that, I was happy with it, so I don't need the newest coolest thing.

I’m honestly a fan of apple, their phones tend to just work, and they have a fairly long support period, my iPhone 7 just stopped getting new updates this fall after 7 years. Still works.

Updates for the OS yes, but lots of new software features no. For example, the iPhone 11 never got the software update for making Face ID work with a mask on, despite being the new phone through most of 2020. There’s always a bunch of random software features not released for older phones, but the Face ID mask update being only for the newer phones was fucking criminal.
