Yeah but they've got their own issues. They're so anti right to repair and their OS is so much more restrictive. That's how it is under capitalism, kind of just have to pick your poison :/

I like that Google supplies repair parts straight to iFixit back to the Pixel 2. It would be nice if it didn't require melting glue to get to half of the components, but hey, baby steps. And the latest models out finally have a decently long support period for security updates.

This and grapheneos were the two big reasons I got a pixel 8 after I broke my 5 on a small drop. The third was I got it for basically perfect condition for $350 on ebay which is so baller.

Yes exactly my point, there are other reasons to sit on Apple, but their phones hardware is pretty good quality. I'll throw in long software support as well.

You got the Fairphone as an option though, also within the capitalistic system.
