My point is that right now I have one that is 6 years old. If Google develops a track record of supporting phones that long my stance will change. Also Google is the posterchild for canceling support.
That's my point. Google has commitment to support for the same timeframe. Google has zero track record of reducing support as Pixels have continued to be rolled out. This is the one area Google has been consistent in a positive direction.
Beyond that, there's no guarantee Apple continues to support for 7 years. They are literally the same level of corporate greed as Google.
Also... Apple has locked all of their users into planned obsolescence for a decade plus. At least their is hope on the slightly more open side with AOSP.
Apple is a poster child of nothing. They have put out hardware that is inaccessible and unrepairable for years. Both companies suck to their end users, let's not pretend Apple is some utopia of awesome to their customers.
