That’s a straight garbage take. You have an incredibly biased view of what better is. Better for you maybe, not better for everyone. Budget Android phones don’t get updated, and you can buy last years iPhone and outperform new android phones.
I mean it depends on what you call budget
for the price of the cheapest iPhone se, you can get nothing phone or pixel, Samsung a something with 4,5 years of updates
but if you really go budget, you still get 2-3 years of updates, for the price of a second gen iPhone se(2020) which would also get 2-3 years of updates
That's a garbage take too, buy a Samsung budget A series, they get updated, and they cost half of last year's iPhones too.
A series isn’t on their announcement https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-galaxy-os-upgrade-one-ui-android-unpacked-2022/ from what I’ve found it’s inconsistent. Apple has been updating for 50% longer than even Samsung.
The latest A series is totally on the 4 year upgrade path, with 5 years of security updates, just about all their phones are now. My A52s is probably one of the last phones with the 3/4 year upgrade path.
According to this it’s three, and the phones is only two years old so we’ll see https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-a52-galaxy-a72-three-major-os-upgrades/
