Can you name a single android phone that is superior in performance with last year’s iPhone? Can you name an android phone that will be stable and up-to-date 5 years after it was released?

Do Pixel count? But I'm anti Google now, I have not researched in a few years.

Apple slows down old phones, no one gives 5 years of support.

Yes, Apple gives 5+ years. My iPhone 6s from 2015 is on latest iOS and still fast with a new battery.

Pixel might count, but they don’t guarantee more than 2 years of Android updates. The built-in processors are years behind what Apple provides, so it’s understandable.
