It is so worth the extra cost for an iphone.
Never had problems with any of the ones I have owned.

For whatever reason, Android devices are orphaned by service providers. Tablets not tied to service providers, but still having enough horsepower to run latest versions are often left out of the update stream. Older phones that are migrated out of the primary service providers, to the secondary market are also left out of the update stream.

I have an iPhone 6. Have gone from iOS 8.0 to (soon) 10.0 easily. Will finally retire the phone when the 2017 model iPhone arrives in September 2017.

Seeking Alpha reports that 97% of iOS users are on iOS 9 (87%), the latest version of Apples mobile operating system, or iOS 8 (10%), with only 3% operating a device with a lower iOS version, while only 15.2% of Android devices are on Android 6 Marshmallow, the latest version, and an astonishing 49% are still running Android 4 or older! — PING!

My Verizon Note 5 (and previous Note 2) get regular updates to the OS.

This is quite a bit of FUD, but that's OK...

After all, iOS is losing market share (it's about 1/6th that of Android, worldwide) and Samsung consistently outsells Apple in smartphones - and that's not including all the other big players in the market (Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, etc).

That’s why, for those w/ an ‘electric-thumb’, there’s the non-official ROM updates.

Have updated by ‘old’ Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablet from 4.4 to 6.x. Plus, I picked a slimmed down version, so I don’t have all the factory bloat-ware either.
