Text messaging hardly counts as heavy usage. It's a single, low impact app.
If you upgrade once a year, you never have had the device long enough to need
to reset it to factory. If they're so great, why are you replacing them so
often?
Of course if you think texting is heavy usage, you've never found a need to do
more with your phone (like jailbreaking or rooting). I root immediately for
better control over and information from the radios, for one. That's not even
possible on Apple.
For a "simple shit" user, there is no major difference between an iPhone and a
mainstream Galaxy S or an iPad and a Galaxy Tab. All four do Chrome, Facebook
and Instagram.

I agree that your phone probably works "very, very well"... but you said
yourself you have never used an Apple product... so what are you
comparing to? I've had an iPhone since the very first model. I'm not a
"wait in line for days" to buy the latest and greatest model, but I do
upgrade about once a year. During the last 8-9 years, I've never had a
single issue with the phones... never had to "restore" or "reset to
factory" or do any of those other things. I've never had to hack or
jailbreak or do any other things to my phones. During my biggest month
of usage, I sent and received over 15,000 text messages, so the phone
gets used.
I have used an Android phone... and it was clunky and just not as "user
friendly" in general. I also have several Android tablets, and they are
the same way... especially compared to my wife's new iPad Pro, which is
an amazing piece of equipment. :)
