Do iPhones do the same thing Android phones do where they invariably slow down and get super buggy around the 1.5-2 year mark? My Pixel 6A is getting to that point and I'm kinda over it.

Not really. And you can always refresh an iPhone by backing it up, erasing it, then restoring from the backup. I’ve noticed doing that every few years can pick it back up.
kinda? Each new OS version assumes you have the latest but usually my iPhone doesn’t tend to get buggy til the 4 year mark, but I try to take good care of it
I'm on a Samsung s10+ from 2019 and this fucker is still running like a champ. 1tb internal storage, 12gb ram, SD slot, headphone jack, and I think it goes for like 200-300 currently. might be worth looking into!
In my experience it takes more like 5+ years for iPhones, but I think it was worse before. Mine is about 5 years old and is slightly buggy in some very specific / occasional ways but isn’t laggy or anything.
It's such a bummer! I've been an Android critter for more than a decade now but the pattern has become impossible to ignore. What good is 7 years of guaranteed updates on the new Pixels if the device will have slowed to a crawl long before then? 😩
It depends. I usually was able to get about 4-6 years out of mine, with daily use and app testing, if there was a slowdown it didn't feel noticeable to me.
