The key is to not buy shitty cheap Android phones, because you only get what you pay for.

Not so, I tend to buy at least 2 models back for a tenth of the latest phones price and they last for atleast 2 to 3 years! I've converted at least 2 people away from Apple showing they don't have to pay $50 per month and can still own the phone for $200 outright with a monthly $10 PAYG!
So much less hassle.
When I say shitty and cheap I mean an Android phone that is not a Google Pixel. Mostly everything else is horrible with a UI that has been bastardized to make it unique, but actually just bogs the phone down, makes to run slower, and slow down system update rollouts.
