Im going to ditch my iPhone in favor of a Pixel. This attitude has pushed me over the edge, and the device isn't really any better than Android. Some aspects yes, but other are much worse. Dark patterns like the appstore/web/browsers restrictions and iCloud upselling are a big no-no. Never again.


I still can’t fathom how people can look at the pixel range with their multi-generational emergency call issues and still think “yep, that’s the phone for me”.


my last Pixel had shit battery compared to iPhone, buyer beware


And all my Pixels (Pixel 1, Pixel 3 and now Pixel 6a) worked flawlessly for years after purchase.

Whereas two separate family members had constant issues with their iPhones.

Beware of anecdotal evidence.


Yup, my Pixel 8 Pro has great battery life. +1 on don't trust random internet anecdata.


I own a Pixel 7a and an iPhone 14. Battery life is too similar for me to notice a difference. I never systematically tested it though. Pixel 6 was the same as well.

The only phone I owned recently that had really terrible battery life even when new was the iPhone 12 mini.


My current iPhone has shit battery compared to my slightly less shitty previous pixel's battery.
