I am a cheep hardware trailing edge of technology kind of guy. I am also a systems security guy that insists everything be up to date on security patches. I bought a trailing edge Motorola Android phone years ago.
The carrior stopped providing updates after about 18 months. I learned that carrior provisioned phones couldn't be easily updated. Bought a trailing edge model iPhone (6s I believe just after iPhone 8 came out). It was supported much longer and the wife went iPhone as well.
Here I am a few years later still on the trailing edge rocking my 3 year old 12 mini.
