If your a long term iPhone user, have you thought about the Google Pixel instead? Personally I feel the Pixel phones age much better, than a Samsung phone and their slow updates, and known for maybe not supporting them long term like Google does their own stock phone.
It’s been said time and time again, outside of this forum and others like it generally speaking software updates aren’t really that big a deal to joe public.
My Mrs had the Note 3 from new until the Note 8 was released, and even then she would have carried on with the 3 had I not bought the 8 for her. She isn’t fussed with software updates and would never bother if it wasn’t for me.
So OP, yes, the Note 9 will be a good purchase for you if it fits your needs, it will easily last you 3 or 4 years without issue.
It’s a real issue only if they know and care. I would say a majority of Galaxy/Note users have no idea about the night camera feature or even care.Software updates are a big deal though when the Exynos version gets the night camera feature four months before the Snapdragon. It’s a very frustrating thing with Samsung devices. A deal breaker? No. But it is a real issue that an iPhone user wouldn’t be used to.
The pixel 3 is a good phone but I’m not sure how long it will hold up for with only 4 gb of ram when it’s already lagging now due to ram issues.If your a long term iPhone user, have you thought about the Google Pixel instead?

The Pixel 3a XL is a great phone for the price. Or even the OnePlus 7 Pro phone, another great smartphone that will get updated well.
I would recommended the Google Pixel #1, and a OnePlus phone #2. And wouldn't even put the Note on my recommendation list, but that's my opinion, as I'm sure others will disagree. But I'm a super [H]ardcore stock Android nerd, and not into skinned Android phones.

For iPhone users, updates are important.To those who have had or have a Note 9, do you like phone. What are pros and cons? Is it a phone you will carry for years?
Thank you
But most of the features introduced in the latest versions of android have been available on Samsung phones for years. So in the end it’s only security updates that matter.No, get something else as Samsung phones are some of the worst "future proof" phones in the market in terms of updates, resale value, and performance.
My other half has an s8, so a couple of generations old, her latest updates the july 2019 security patch, so to say they dont get updates is not quite the story...No, get something else as Samsung phones are some of the worst "future proof" phones in the market in terms of updates, resale value, and performance.

On Android, there are updates in a sense of Android version upgrades, and there are monthly security updates/patches.My other half has an s8, so a couple of generations old, her latest updates the july 2019 security patch, so to say they dont get updates is not quite the story...
What’s in Q that an s8 needs? Dark mode? Desktop mode? Gestures?Yea? When is Q expected on that device? I’ll hold.

Dont beat yerself up fella, all main apps are now updated via the play store, Q will he visual tweaks only. ..the security patch is the most critical. You probably know this anyway....Yea? When is Q expected on that device? I’ll hold.
Atleast the last update didn’t slowdown the S8 unlike iOS does to iPhones, plus it’s still receiving the latest security updates every month.Yea? When is Q expected on that device? I’ll hold.
It is one heck of a phone. Should be in use for more than 4 years for me.The Note 9 is my daily. I bought it on launch. Runs like a champ. Screen is gorgeous. Battery is excellent.
Apart from not having the fingerprint sensor on the front, it is a no-compromises phone.
4 years? LOL. You will upgrade to the Note 10 or Galaxy S11. It would be foolish not to.It is one heck of a phone. Should be in use for more than 4 years for me.
