I got 5 years out of my last iphone and it was still getting updates. The only reason I got a new one was the plug on the bottom was loose.

If you answered either A or B, then an Android is the phone for you. If you answered C, then stick with the iPhone.
Very ironic statement as the phones cost around the same price, and many Android phones are hundreds of dollars more than any iPhone, lol “paying a premium”

And what status symbol does one get from owning an Apple phone? People buy them because they are reliable and work well and for “quality/practicality”

OP go to a store and play with both phones; our preferences do not matter compared to what you actually like.

That's because the iPhone was designed for smooth brained folks that don't know chit about technology. They make it as easy as possible. They think ya'll are so dumb they never considered adding an app drawer for fear you all will think your apps "disappeared" for good. LOL

BRB let me lump 100 apps in a folder. It looks like garbage.

What I will say Apple iOS is buttery smooth and they get a lot of support because it's only one manufacturer and they control everything. Meaning the hardware and software is optimized with each other well. This is why iOS apps tend to run better than Android apps. The discrepancy isn't that great though. The average user will never notice.

As an IT guy, I need to have the ability to customize my Android phone to my liking. I don't like to be put in a box and limited.

Yes I know you can do more stuff on an android spec wise but it's getting to the point now where I'm tired of it.

Might just get an iPhone 13 mini as they look aesthetic, or might wait till price goes down on the 14. I plan to buy it outright aswell as I'll save more money in long run compred to a contract.
I wouldn't get the 13 mini if you have big fingers or hands. I would mess up typing all the time. And someone else I know had the same problem and got rid of it because of that.

Just LOL imagine giving up on an ancient Samsung and rather than upgrade to a Pixel 7 (or even a P6) you jump ship completely to a whole new OS.

Just LOL

Weird. Who is your carrier? Is the phone updated? Only reason I ask is because I have the S10+ with Sprint, now T-Mobile. It's so flawless I haven't even considered an upgrade other than wanting the best camera in the S22 Ultra.

That's because Androids actually have more than 1- 3 options for phone devices, because they try to appeal to a wider range of customers than just tossing the same cookie cutter phone out every year.
