Support. The iPhone has longer support than anything Google puts out. And Apple has a history of supporting it and Google has a well known history of changing directions and dropping commitments. iPhones are expansive but amortize over the typical 5+ years that my iPhones are used for, they are cheaper than androids. My typical cadence used to be upgrade every year and hand me down the old phones to family. But now that cadence is more like 3 years since the phones. My youngest niece (11 yrs old with type 1 diabetes) still uses my iPhone 6S+ for the simple games and has her mom on the contact list. If her sugars are low she can always get a hold of her mom to come rescue her.
