Ive had iPhones since the 3Gs. I find them bullet proof, I’ve dropped my 11Pro on concrete and it bounced, no marks or scuffs. I like the fact all apps are sandboxed before general release. I think security is better on Apple.
Most phones are “bullet proof” and have some form of corning gorrila glass these days, with flagships getting a higher spec so they all bounce to some degree just some further than others, Unusual apple dont spec the version of conrning gorilla glass, where as android do, probably for a selling point. The latest version is called Victus that came out mid 2020, so flagships late 2020 on will have that. With your being a flagship from 2019 it will have corning gorrila glass 6. Midrange android is always a grade below its flagships 99% of the time. Worth a read if your board one day. Apple use to have far fewer apps more of a closed platform, similar to what Huawei is now since it’s spat with the US which saw it lose access to google. I believe apple is allowing some 3rd party android app these days, but its still not a mindfield of apps like googles play store. Security is much of muchness these days especially with decent midrange & flagships.
Anyhow on to something more interesting now the threads finished. Have you ever been to Lowestoft, its much like as you describe with some decaying boats and the decaying wooden infrastructure is just about still there, where the fishermen of bygone days use to repair their nets along with some pebbly beaches. y mums and her family came from there and we would visit every year to see realtives, many now sadly passed. I still like to go back every couple of years or so 🙂
