Even though androids phones may also face similar problems frlm OEMs, I will still just stick to android for it's somewhat openness.

I don't think android has much to do with hardware but I could be wrong

Android is an open source OS mainly developed by Google (which doesn't include google apps/android closed ecosystem apps). The android OEMs may do this. But due to somewhat androids openness, I can get an android phone from other OEMs which I think would do somewhat better than this

Right, so like they said, it's about the OEM, not the OS.

Well i mean no but kinda yes. iOS 18.1 has part pairing, which means it only works on specific hardware configurations

Fairphones suck though, if you want to fix your problems. Got a Fairphone 3 after my Nokia couldn't be repaired. I got it explicitly to have a phone that can be repaired more easily. But you know what? The fucker refuses to break!
