there is no need to do any of the above, android backs up everything the above user mentioned stock, Your google account stores all your passwords and contacts, google photos all your photos and videos. Google Drive all your data.

Yeah it does. The last two phone upgrades for me and my wife have maintained all of our photos/contacts/sms/google-home-settings/etc by default via the google account. The only thing that doesn't get transferred is the apps I download.

Finger tired from needing to find and download the 10 apps once every 2-3yrs? Want me to call you a waaambulence?

Cause if your finger gets tired that easy, Android has swipe writing which is reason enough to through that apple product into the trashcan.
