Ask HN: Android or iOS, which one do you prefer?

I hope this isn't a low effort post and I'm not wanting to start a flame war but I was wondering what the HN crowd uses as their daily driver phones.

I only had Android smartphones but I'm currently in the market for a new one because this old dog I'm using is slowly dying. I'm considering an another Android smartphone (Pixel 7 probably) because I'm so used to the whole OS experience, I like the side-loading app feature and I'm not heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem.

But what I don't like about Android smartphones is their short lifespan in comparison to iPhones. Most of my Android phones lasted 2-3 years and I find it wasteful in this time and age to change phones so rapidly. OTOH iPhone doesn't precisely play the whole planed obsolescence game and I really think the Apple hardware is more superior.

To make my choice easier I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences about this dilemma.
