Batman:

 

never buy a tech product to last many years

 

buy them for other reasons

 

I don't agree with this really - this is one of the biggest pluses Apple has had over the rest of the industry, is the (generally speaking) seamless and long supported updates. I could, and have, kept an iPhone for 4+ years, still fully supported.

Sure I wouldn't let it be my only reason I choose a device, but it definitely factors in to it. 

I'm sure Android is changing with some of the projects on the go (project treble, where are you?), but last I used Android, the release and support process for new updates was pretty poor still.

All that said - Congrats OP on your new purchase!
