Until that part I agreed with everything, but I don't see how switching to worse hardware and especially one of the worst Android experience with an extremely cluttered UI and a lot of preinstalled apps that can't ever be removed is going to help? If other manufacturers are improving a lot from one generation to the next it just means they haven't reached the Apple level yet. And I say that as someone who primarily uses Pixel phones. The Pro iPhones leave little to be desired as long as you are happy with iOS and Samsung isn't going to be doing anything better. Especially considering Samsung is now almost as pricey as Apple - if I am going to spend quadruple digits worth of money I might as well go with Apple.
I love iOS but idk i guess just want to try something new and different? Just to give it a shot. In reality ill probably just go to a best buy or some other store and play around with it for a bit. More or less just the sentiment that i personally feel bored i guess
 
And that's only Model/Physical Size. Even before including carriers, you have 62 choices across 14 with color and capacity.
How are three things confusing?

Choose size, choose regular or better (screen, camera, dynamic island, and processor are most of the better things which people will notice), and choose color.

If you can’t handle three choices, how do you choose four things (appetizer, main, dessert, and drinks) when out for dinner?
 
Probably not a popular opinion but......Apple (IMO) is becoming stale? Boring? It just seems like these "upgrades" are so incremental and unexciting. Woo hoo thinner bezels that unless youre trying hard to see arent that noticeable, usb C after how many years of it being the standard, the same ugly camera bump but yay itll be the tiniest bit thinner. Ive been an iphone user almost entirely since the first iphone but i've become bored with them since around the last few years/launches. I really have been contemplating switching over to samsung when this installment plan is finished...
Must phones these days are mature products where there are just not many features that need to be added and where the overall form is pretty much optimized for their use as much as current technology can support.

If you look back at previous phones, incremental upgrades has been the rule, not the exception. Look at the 6-6s-7-8 iPhones as an example.
