Bhavani upgrading iPhone

[http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert (Robert)]

I did a little research about Android.  I was hoping that an Android
"alternative" would have a longer lifetime, but it appears that there is
no way to get around the hardware, which seems to be the main limitation,
even with better software.  (You can get a better lifetime, but, then,
there are more likely to be hardware-level security holes.)

Anyway, the cheapest phone with the longest lifetime would be the Pixel 8
running stock Android (Google) software.  This would be supported through
2030.  A Pixel 9 will be supported through 2031, but those are a bit more
expensive.

Transferring everything from an Apple phone to an Android phone is a
semi-big task.  There are lots of gory details here:

. Unless you're willing to reinstall all your apps and give up your old
text messages, you'll need to buy a Lightning to USB-C cable to accomplish
the transfer.

Getting a brand new Apple iPhone 17 will have security fixes through 2033,
but it will cost approximately three (3) times as much than the Pixel 8
and about twice (2) as expensive as the Pixel 9.
