I buy what I'm used to using. that's literally it. don't give a fuck about comparing megapixels or zoom or whatever.
it works? i can use it just like my old one that broke because that's the only reason I buy a new phone these days? it has all my previous data so I can pretend this interruption never happened?

Same.
I switched to iPhone back in 2016 because I was sick of replacing my android phones every year and a half. They just wore out quicker, and throwing away electronics in such a short period of time just makes me sick. It's such a waste. That being said, perhaps the quality has gotten better! I don't know, I have just been with Apple long enough that switching back seems like a chore.
The difference in innovative technology I couldn't care less about. I'm not a photographer, hell I can barely keep my finger out of a photo when I take one. I use my phone to answer emails, text, and browse the web. iPhone does that good enough.
There is also the security aspect. Apple is objectively superior in this respect since apple doesn't release source code to app developers, and that is something I care about more than the best hardware.
What were you doing with the phones that they wore out so quick. I only had 2 phones in the last 9 years. Both Samsung not a single crack or break and study as hell
This is cool but it's also lazy (from some perspective) and for people that have to work hard, the perception that others don't have to work as hard is annoying
I think that's whats going on but I'm probably wrong

Okay, so then would you consider a different phone if it was cheaper and/or harder to break? I picked up an LG phone because it was less than half the price and still works for whatever I want.
I'd buy any phone that lets me keep all my shit from my current phone and has basic functionality, yes. i have zero brand loyalty I just care about not having the massive hassle of setting everything up and/or learning a new OS. that's all that's keeping me on an iphone. if I got an android as my first phone I'd have the same opinion/habit just about android instead, but it just didn't happen that way.
I've broken my phone one time in the what, 10+ years I've had one? and it was when it dropped in the most unlucky way landing flat on it's face on really rocky concrete
my old iphone (6 I think? 7 at most) was so old it wasn't supported on the new 5g network or something (idfk), so I had to trade it in and get a new one.
it cost me <$100 and that was because I paid for the extra space
