I highly recommend C-3PO.
iPhone or some Android
Go to a store. Any.
See which phone is the cheapest one.
Buy.
You have a PC. I know you do.
Which phone you buy doesn't matter, it's all the same overrated and overexpensive bs with prices higher than a decent PC.
The question remains what to do with the money you didn't waste on a phone because you bought the cheapest one.
Invest into a microscope.
You are at age when a phone should not be fragile so much it reacts to a wrong stare and breaks on a whim.
Buy CAT.
It's not the cheapest offer, but would probably survive a nuclear war.
I will of course consider that option.
One phone I really would like to get is the Fairphone. This one is, unlike most phones, constructed so you can replace almost everything in it. I see that its now available in Norway. My youngest daughter has one. I'll take a closer look at that one, now that it's available in shops in Norway.

There’s just so many pros and cons to list in the iPhone vs Android debate. But it sounds like your big hang up issue is your music collection. Seems like this is more of a special-case audiophile issue.
If I had that much music that cannot be streamed and needed to have access to it, I would probably just consider a dedicated iPod or other player. That way your not limiting yourself to a platform solely based on that.
I highly recommend C-3PO.
Nice one, Alrik. Would make communication in all parts of the world a breeze.
But if you allow me some nitpicking: C-3PO is a robot, not an android. As I understand the term, an android is an artificial human being (like those in Blade Runner), with artificial biology.
pibbuR who looks forward to be corrected in the UNLIKELY CASE HE'S WRONG!!!!
PS. Is the Terminator an android or a robot? He looks human (Well, actually, he looks like Arnold), but on the inside he's all mechanical. Off topic, but please, I welcome that. DS
iPhones are going to be more secure simply because it’s a closed source OS where as android is a more open source OS.
I'd say that open-source is far preferred by most security folks. The transparency and open contributions to addressing weaknesses I think are a much better bet than trusting the secrecy (and unknown exploits) of closed-source proprietary software.
IOS being more secure and having better personal and data privacy is not related to open/closed but rather to a focus on those things, whereas Android is based on being 'secure enough' while always being able to monetizing the user regardless of settings or preferences.

Exactly, "security by obscurantism" is not an option and people should be educated against using it. The more peer review a system benefits from, the better it gets.I'd say that open-source is far preferred by most security folks.

It's a key concept in cryptography (sorry for the pun).
Nothing is perfect but I think it's a good principle that pays off on average.In an ideal world, with ideally written code, indeed. Open source should lead to no vulnerability being exposed in the system, if the system was designed and implemented correctly. With a clear separation between secrets and public knowledge within the system.
