They offer software updates for >6 years

That was the reason why I migrated to iPhone last year.

I used Android for many years, but I got tired of vendors stopping system updates after 6 months or so of a model being out.

I keep my phone at least 4-5 years, even more if it doesn't break, and with all the sensitive data and apps we keep on it nowadays (mobile banking, digital identities, authenticators, etc.) it's not acceptable to stay years without security fixes.

It's true that apple devices are expensive but it's enough to not buy the latest models, get a bit older one and you can get it for the same price as a medium-high Android.
