Thanks, I actually have the 10 SX Max, and have the latest IOS version which is 17.2.1 I believe.

If you're comfortable with iOS and you've been using it since 2011 it might be best to stick with what you know. Also, the iPhone X may be receiving security updates for iOS 16 but it does not support iOS 17, which is the current version of iOS.

If you've never used Android I'm not sure I'd recommend switching to it on your only phone.

> Hi guys, and happy new year 2024!  I was wondering what people like on  here as far as smartphones are concerned?  Is it Android or IOS.  I myself have been an IOS user since 2011.  However, I am on a shared plan,  and the two other people on here are both using Androids.   There is a possibility that in the future we might switch providers.  Right now, we are all on AT&T and might look at something else, perhaps Verizon.  If we were to get new phones through Verizon, and therefore are three people on the plan, the the two Android users stick with Android and the one IOS user still get a new iPhone?  Also, what is the learning curve when going from IOS to Android?  When it comes to smartphones, I’ve only used IOS, and would like to hopefully stick with IOS.  Right now, I have an iPhone 10, and with every upgrade for IOS I get concerned that soon the iPhone 10 won’t be supported.  I’ve had this 10 since 2019, and I know that at some point it will no longer be supported.  IOS18 is still a ways away, but I have heard there will be major updates as far as the use of AI and other things are concerned.
