I guess we'll see how things shake out.

Unless something drastic changes, I'm sticking with Apple because of their demonstrated long-term support. Every phone since 2015 has been supported for 6-7 years. And that's actual support, not a "technically correct" mix of real support and security patches only.

That's overlooking the fact that Apple does not release the full featureset of new iOS versions on older devices and as years pass the number of feature omissions increases.

which makes sense? like i can’t expect the new ai intelligence (a 3B model) will run at all on iPhone X

There’s hardware dependencies for some of the ‘missing’ features and if the hardware’s not there then there’s not a lot the OS can do to support it
