I have got my Android phone with twice the resolution of iPhone 6S for $100. And recently updated (after long delay) to Android 10. Another year to go or more.

So it is more like 25$ per year for Android.

Not a perfect phone but good enough.

It's not reasonable to compare on resolution alone. Not to mention, the iPhone 6S and Pixel were both flagship devices in the period OP is discussing.

What phone is it. I seem to average to ~200usd per year on Android as well, in order to have a functional device.

I went for Xperia 10. Camera sucks but otherwise the phone does the job remarkably well. 90% functionality for 10% price and I don't need to worry about loosing or breaking it.

Of course the phone is de-Googled and runs on stock European Android without operator's crapware which is also nice about Xperias. Full factory install takes 15 minutes with newflasher.

I do not enjoy iPhones and Apple's miserable software in general. I am running ChromeOS/debian on my Macbook Pro (the last good model) for years now.

Guess that makes me odd guy..

Better resolution yet takes 5 seconds to open and paint the app drawer... great.
