I’m not sure what you mean when you say “your data is gone”. I always have a backup of my IPhone data on my PC. My IPhone photos are backed up with Amazon.

I went with S22 Ultra, pricey but just so many things going for it! Every other phone I've owned has been an Apple but not this time.

Why are you glad you don't own a smartphone? I understand someone not needing or wanting a smartphone. I can even stretch that to understand not wanting a phone at all (even though with the demise of pay phones I have a tough time with that one!) But I don't understand someone being glad not to own one.
If I have to pay the subscription to own a phone I am glad I don't have to pay. Paying for the service OK but not for the phone forever?

I haven’t seen a Samsung image but the latest iPhone cameras render human skin the best I’ve seen from any camera. Even I look good!

Many ways to buy a phone: subsidized price from most carriers, installment plan without finance fees, trade-in every two years, etc. You can always pay cash and you own the phone. You never pay forever unless you opt for the every two year trade-in.

I heard Apple is planning on not to sell you the phone any more. You must keep paying to have the phone,

I just got an iPhone 11 and have been very pleased with it. The 13 has a better camera but costs considerably more. Then there is the 5-g service which is supposed to go into use 01 April. They say that all the mobile companies are using the same towers etc. That sounds like too much common sense, so I'll believe it when I see it.

I got an iPhone 13 Pro shortly after they became available. The camera is definitely a big improvement over the previous iPhone 7. I can't offer a comparison to the other phones mentioned here.

Not sure where you heard that, but it is simply not true. Can you provide a reference for your statement? Is this what you are referring to?
“ Get a new iPhone every year.
You’re eligible to upgrade to a new iPhone once you’ve made 12 payments. Just trade in your current iPhone and start a new plan.³ It’s that easy.”

I did, and it is just another financing plan for customers. Nothing says it will replace all other options.
