Main reason I'm using apple devices is for their quick security updates. I don't trust Samsung phone because they even run ads on $1500 phone. I am thinking to go with Pixel phone.
Manjaro Linux has rolling releases, so you get updates more swiftly than with other Linux flavours. LineageOS (regular or microG variant) get weekly updates if I recall correctly.
Pixel is a solid hardware choice in my book.
A big kicker was opening the default Weather app on my Samsung Galaxy S9 and seeing an inappropriate ad that took up 1/3 of the screen. Absolutely shameful that they would be so desperate for cash to include such ad space in their flagship phone.
Although the recent news about Apple has me questioning the switch...

A Google Pixel has far fewer ads than an iPhone these days.
