I use an iPhone, I was just making a point.

Though I will point out, Apple is good at supporting their devices… for the warranty period. After which their solution is usually “pay so much to repair this device you may as well be buying the newest version.” For most purchases, this is 1 year unless required by law.

The walled garden for apps is extremely restrictive and honestly bull. Want examples? Install a porn app, or a network scanner app, or one of the many categories they deem “saturated.” Their walls don’t even stop scams or malware, both of which have made it into the store in the past, the latter of which can still easily be found.

The majority of the rest I agree with though.
