What phone do you have?

There's one reason I'd never buy apple.
Planned Obsolescense.

I prefer to buy something and not have it just up and die on me after 4 years whilst slowly degrading over time, I prefer for my stuff to only break when I break it

Yeah, that is an industry-wide issue. Tech changes quickly and no company wants to support a phone that is fifteen years old and has to almost retrofit a new software update that is tailored to their latest series. There is no way they will make money doing this (maybe even lose money). 

@JEEJAYEM in my experience, official Apple chargers have been significantly more reliable than third-party (anecdotal and the third-party were cheaper). I will say that it is annoying they have to have their own proprietary charger than a micro-USB or USB-C. I am not well versed on their reasons, though. 

Really, my biggest complaint of current series phones are the form functionality in terms of size. I think the iPhone 4-5s (competitor equivalents) sizes were the best size and everything since is taking too much space in pockets.
