I think Google is doing the right thing by focusing on year over year improvement. That's how Apple got to be as big as they are. The other thing is Google needs to sell their products in more countries if they really want to grow their hardware base.
Google Pixel needs its software and hardware and features, also to work in other countries outside North America, Europe, Australia.. It should also make versions that will work in other countries. Features such as E-Sim, Call screening are not available in all countries.
Apple is hype. That's it.
I was stuck with iPhone for ten years and Pixel was the best way to leave them. I personally have never dealt with any Pixel bug. After a while you realize Apple doesn't innovate, why does Siri still suck, why are you still forced to arrange a home screen icons how they want you to, why do you have to pay $999+ for hardware features that Apple says are "pro" but yet find the same 'pro" features on sub $800 Androids.. just a thought. But again to each their own.
Hey hey hey...no ..no ...iphones are the best. Everyone says it so it's gotta be true. And I won't try another phone cause I believe what everyone says I'm dumb

I used iphone as well, it feels boring after 2weeks

ANDROID IS THE BEST🙌
I've been a strictly apple user since the first iPhone (I was 21 when it was released) ever since then I've had just about every iPhone. I started yearly upgrading with the 11 pro. This year I got the iPhone 15 pro. I watched the pixel keynote and was impressed. When pre order rolled around I pre ordered the 8 pro and the regular 8 to see what one I like better. It was a fairly easy crossover. I've never used a android and I must say I was impressed with Google OS. I thought I wasn't gonna like it at all and not get the hang of it but I am. I went with the 8 pro and my husband is going to use the pixel 8 I bought. He switched from iPhone to the flip 5 this year and it wasn't such a easy transition for him. So he's wants to try the pixel out. I also went with the pixel watch 2 (I had the series 8 Apple watch) and I went with the pixel buds pro. So far loving everything about the switch.
Iphone to android,
Great decision👍🔥
Pixel experience is way better✨️
Switched from iPhone 13 to pixel 8.
Love this thing so much.
How is the battery compared to the iPhone 13?
Just switched from the iPhone 13 Pro Max to the Pixel 8 pro, I've got no regrets !
Yep the Pixel 8 is moving in the right direction , but a putting in better modem would have gone a long way to making the Pixel line truely compete against iPhone and Galaxys
better modem? what is wrong with the current modem? I havent had one issue either over wifi or cellular or bluetooth.
@@trilingualkid well I have the S 23 which I was going to sell after I got the pixel 8 that was but in areas where the S 23 has no problem with connection or running warm The pixel eight connection is not as strong and it runs warm and so the battery life is not as good. standby time is definitely not as good. I’m assuming that’s because of the modem . I’m no phone expert I can just tell you the S23three is a much better phone when it comes to the processor/modem.
@@jejunamjatotally agree!
That was the main reason i sold my pixel 7, constantly connection issues.
Until pixel gets a decent modem I won’t switch back.
@@jejunamja wheree do you live? I live in Maryland, traveling to Virginia and I never had a problem. People that buy Pixel knew that raw performance was never a thing for pixel phone, it been like that since pixel 5?
Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are the real deal!

@@har6e7notice how no one liked your reply
I loved mine until it got stolen
Sadly the Sensor chip is not cutting it 😮💨
Have both ios and android device. Dailying iphone 15 pro, and switched from s23 to pixel 8. Pixel's android is really close to what ios can offer, feels like at this point it is really up to personal preferences as both os are very clean and mature
💯
How is the haptic and keysound on Pixel compared to iOS ? I have iPhone and Pixel 5, on Pixel 5 Vibration is bad and sound also
But iPhone is nice feeling and love the clicky sounds
@@weberjcm5355 if you like strong haptic and clicky feeling when typing then definitely try pixel 8, pixel 8 have super strong haptics
iPhones hardware is just superior more polished etc imo. Pixels AI is superior and user friendly and if in Google ecosystem for work the workflow with Google suite is awesome! I do like the Pixel though. I also like Chromebooks a lot and have two but also have MacBook. I like both platforms if able just get both 👍🏻
@@weberjcm5355 pixel 5 haedware was so bad but now everyone says that google pixel 8 series has the best haptics on any phone
I am really happy with my various Pixels... they share some of the good attributes of iPhones while being more developer friendly
Hmm good video! You're for me the most reliable site!
A question: can you show a link for the interview? I didnt watch that and it would be interesting to get this
I've been a long time Android user, but I got the Pixel 7 Pro last spring and it felt like a HUGE step forward from the One Plus device I got in 2019.
And then there's me, who just switched to iPhone after like 15 years of Android only. As an Android developer with 7 years of experience, Google really need to make a hard change there, because developing for Andorid is such a pain
I’ve gone back to iPhone after 8 years on android. I’m loving the experience so far and battery life is amazing 🤩
I've been very happy with my P7 UE and A14 addressed my main gripe by improving battery life. I doubt I'll upgrade until Tensor G5 is available.
Google needs to bring back the Pixelbook. Still using the original Pixelbook daily, better now than ever. Use the Pixelbook go as a secondary. They just need to nail the pricing on it, which won't happen unfortunately.
If Google comes out with a Pixel Watch that is on par with or rivals the Apple Watch Ultra (2), I’ll switch. The watch is really what’s holding me back.
Bruh 😅, it's fine and they're on their way. The watch holding you back is hilarious
@@EllEmm149 You’re entitled to your own opinion. As for me, I rely heavily on the watch, and the battery life, workout features and interface and design appeal to me more on the Apple Watch Ultra. Also, not having to sign up for a separate service (FitBit) keeps me in the Apple camp.
I was a professional systems administrator in the Apple and NeXT world for many years. I've owned or used nearly every Apple computer from the 128K to Macbook Pros of 2019. But I got on Android and not the IOS phone from the very start. I liked custom ROMs and hacking to force tethering when iPhone couldn't or was made to pay $30 extra a month on Verizon.
I use a Pixel 6a and a $25 cheap Chinese smartwatch knockoff (Tozo S2). Perfectly acceptable to me. I'm so much happier using something that won't kill me if it gets stolen or broken, and I paid half the price that I could have with Apple. Perfection is the enemy of good enough.
So how does the Pixel watch 2 compare to the Apple Watch Ultra? That is what is hysterical, kind of like comparing a Ford Pinto to a Mercedes. That truly does keep many iPhone users from switching.
It's NOT hilarious the watch holding you back. I miss the hell outta my Apple Watch 3. Google Pixel Watch 2 is NOT the same!
Aside for the Google pixel buds pro can you recommend any other buds that work with a Google pixel device really great?
I've done it. I switched as a frustrated and sad iPhone 13 mini Lover to an Pixel Fold 512 GB. And what should I say, it was the right decision and I have now an iPhone mini combined with an iPad mini in one device. I'm happy so far. But I hope the foldable screen is lasting long but only time will tell
Pixel fold video will be coming up soon, great phone but I agree. Hoping that screen will last.
@@jordanintheknow but I guess it will hold up. Because it is an samsung screen and sansung hat nor 5 generations of existence. Software wise Google could look a bit more at the one plus open experience and I wish I get more of the Pixel 8 features because I've the most expensive device they offer and have now an experience if I haf an 7a with missing 8 Pro features.
I am looking to have a widget stack on my Google Pixel 6a. Something similar to what's there on iOS and Samsung. Is there a way to do it?
....Really lovely video, going with google makes a lot of sense now but it will be even more amazing if they went with tsmc made custom chips, eitherway thank you for the video😃😃keep up the good work M8....
I'm going on a month with my Google Pixel 8 pro and I'm loving it
I switched, after 13 years with Apple. It wasn't as hard as they make it out to be. Yeah I miss some features like Airdrop and continuity, but overall I'm loving this Android experience! It gives me more freedom than any iPhone ever could.
Do you utilize Nearby Share?
@@terranwatkins977 oh yeah a couple of people I know have Android but the majority of people I'm around are iPhone users. So I only get to use it very seldom.
Yeah, not for long. Apple is now getting SUPER customizable soon! More than I ever thought they would. iOS looks better than just about anything Apple has done yet since Dark Mode.
Before seeing this video, I'm sticking with pixel. From 3, 5 i love the smaller size, simplicity of operation, rich balanced features and delightfully uncomplicated software. And it keeps getting better.
can android improve more on app support consistency ? for example predictive back gesture animation, one of the best feature supposed to release on android 14 but pushed to android 15
now only only in developer option on android 14, making it less mainstream and only few 3rd party app support it, not even many major app support it
google should be more firm to developer sometimes, many good feature take too long to implement, making it very inconsistency
I switched to Pixel after 13 straight years on iPhone a couple years ago. It wasn’t hard to switch. I loved the Android experience and came close to buying a new Pixel 8 Pro. Instead I got an iPhone 15 Pro Max through a carrier deal to go along with my iPad Pro and MacBook Pro. I was tired of missing the texts in my family’s group chat. But I won’t be getting another Apple Watch. I like my Pixel Watch much better and was never a fan of the Apple Watch. I’m going to try to find a deal on a Pixel 8 Pro so I can just roll with both. Life’s too short to just deal with Apple’s boring trajectory. I’m already missing the Pixel camera and am finding it more difficult to get clear shots on this iPhone. And then there’s the horrible lack of easy customization.
I love how ever since I had my seven pro pixel and now on the eight pro who will pixel non-stop. I get compliments about my phone and everyone always wants to see it let alone Android's customization. I don't see how anyone would stay on the iPhone. I'm sorry if I sound rude.
Google has the WORST customer service, and I hate not being able to walk into a brick and mortar to speak to someone who actually has skin in the game.
Yup. That’s a major weakness for Google. Forums have loads of stories about poor Google customer service
I did switch from iPhone 2 the Pixel and I couldn't be happier with my choice. All my family stopped usin iPhones 5 years ago and in that time I've mainly been usin iPhone but now I've fully switched 2 android with the pixel 7
I switched from iPhone 13 Pro Max go P8 Pro used it for a month while its a really good phone I had to go back simply because here in the United States everyone I text and talk to are all on iPhones with iMessage and they strictly use that and no other messaging apps like WhatsApp
I feel this. I prefer Android over iOS but literally everyone in my circle of communication uses a damn iPhone. I’ve tried going back to Android so many times but when I can’t even send a picture reliably, let alone a video, ( don’t get me started ) what am I supposed to do? They won’t use a third party app and I can’t even share pictures or basic videos reliably. So back to iPhone I went. It sucks how far up Apples ass the US is. Just my opinion.
That’s interesting. I’m in Europe and other than my partner, my closest friends and I all have iPhones but we only ever use WhatsApp.
@@Rinnara21 WhatsApp is very popular in many countries, yes. But in the US, if you have an iPhone you use iMessage. That’s it. North American’s LOVE their iMessage. Lol
I find the use of Google Drive and Docs the best way to transfer files, pics, etc., between devices smooth and simple. I have an Android phone, a MacBook Pro at home, and a PC at work. I can transfer anything on all three devices. So no complaints here.
this is what i see if it doesnt kick me out wonder how to fix?
I was stuck on the iphone hype until i broke it with the Pixel Fold. I love my Fold and looking forward to the next Pixel Fold, however I think Google should start repairing their own phones and open more stores.
I would agree with almost everything else but we have to recognize that Pixel products do not keep a good value after a year even for a simple trade-in.
So far yes but once they improve like apple is it will be different also with 7 years of update there is literally no problem even of you keep the phone for 4 years $699 is more than worth it.
True but this can change. We have to ask ourselves what keeps a product value relatively high? Us consumers! So it's up to us to change that....
In Singapore, brand new pixel 8 pros which retail for S$1.5k are being listed for S$1.2k 💀
I mean, you buy a Kia and it doesn’t resell like a Toyota just because they started to become more reliable two years ago… you have to show consistency over many years to earn that value.
I am Switch in Januar "24 from iPhone 15 to Pixel 7a. My First Android since 2019 ...
Pixel phones are not great I’ve had loads of customers come back with their pixel devices. No one comes back when it comes to iPhone or even Samsung.
What's the wallpaper on the pixel?😮
A picture 🖼️ of me. 🫤😐
Did he say iPhones don't have any pre-installed apps?
I’m currently using an iPhone and I’ve wanted to switch to pixel for a couple months now. I have ordered a pixel 8 and should get it tomorrow
How do you like it?
Watching before video I’m typing my comment i already switched 8 pro pixel watch 2 buds pro ❤
And also keep my iPhone 15 pro max Apple Watch ultra 1
AirPods pro 2 😅 i have only esu with pixel little bit battery life 😊
I am a pixel user, the only thing I don't like is the third party apps, such as how the zoom works on snapchat while recording a video although the picture quality is great on snapchat on pixel. Otherwise, pixel phones are amazing.
I did in 2022
A loyal user base. I really don't understand that concept. I feel no emotional attachment to any company. I'm only loyal to certain people. A phone for me is a utensil, it doesn't offer quality of life. Apple's ecosystem is much more refined than Google's, but that doesn't make me loyal. It keeps me captured.
Switched to a Pixel after more than 15 years of iPhone usage and I'm satisfied. Maybe I'll switch back somewhere in the future, but only if the user experience gets better, meaning I'm able to customise iOS the way I want to. After all, it's my phone and I don't want Apple to tell me what's best for me.
That's why I left Apple too for Pixel, but check out iOS 18. I want to switch back TBH.
Love to see a high end pixel laptop for business that can run ms office.
I switched to pixel and never looked back. For years now apple have been focusing on exclusive iPhone to iPhone features , I never use these due to half the people I know having android phones. Having said that I think any phone these days is fine for day to day needs.
I switched after the iPhone 6 "batterygate" debacle to the Pixel 3 and never looked back. I love my Pixel 8 and can really notice a thermal performance difference compared to the Pixel 6 Pro. This is coming for someone who plays Pokemon GO religiously.
Just keep in mind that the iPhone 15 series does not have a physical sim that can easily be swapped out between it and your android phone when you get bored with one. This was why I returned my iPhone 15 Pro Max and then bought a premium renewed iPhone 13 Pro Max from Amazon. And tomorrow, I should receive a new Pixel 8 that I am trading in my good old Pixel 5 for (Black Friday deal $550-$230 for the Pixel 5=$320.) This way I can have both and just switch back and forth.
One thing I have noticed in many years of using both iPhones and Androids is that iPhone receive notifications like Gmail, Twitter and others much quicker than androids for whatever reason, I wish Google would fix this.
I switch between Pixel phones and iPhones, and while I stand by my opinion that Android is much more intuitive to use than iOS, their hardware Avd software issues are persistent. App crashes, overheating, failing hardware, sluggish performance, poor reception all still plague Pixel phones. iPhones are expensive, but they are made extremely well and rarely do I ever have any hardware issues or major software bugs. Out of the roughly 6 Pixel phones I've owned, most of them had some sort of serious issue, and it's just hard to be loyal to a phone that is so reliably unreliable. The ecosystem and reliability of iPhones are unmatched. I'm typing this on a Pixel 6a that takes a few moments to register charging after I've plugged the chord in and where the power button doesn't want to work half the time.
I switched from android to iPhone when the first SE came out, I’ve had every generation of SE up till now. Getting a bit bored of iOS, Samsung has too much bloatware on their phones, so the Pixel 8Pro is speaking to me… I may make the switch back when my contract is over.
Now Google just needs to improve their hardware and their chipset
What I like about my pixel phone is it can detect muzik playing in the area and it will save it to your phone..
YES Now Playing is the BEST!
iPhones don't have preinstalled bloat?
Honestly, I am torn. I had an iPhone 7 and an Apple Watch 3 which I loved. In 2020 when it was time to upgrade - I was actually pissed at Apple at that time. I wanted an iPhone 11 Pro I think it was...but I did NOT like "forced" gestures, I liked having a home button and Touch ID. I didn't want a "cheap SE iPhone..." I looked into Pixel - which was a different phone back then (allowing icon shape change anyone?) and the Pixel 5 just had everything I wanted then. I don't regret leaving Apple then - and I was DEEP into the ecosystem! I had the watch AND an iPad hooked to my phone! I didn't care, I wanted a home button (3 button navigation) and Touch ID! So I left Apple and switched to Pixel.
I am now at a point where I'd like to go back to Apple. I didn't think much about leaving Pixel until I got the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel Watch 2. I thought this was going to be the BEST Pixel phone yet. Got it October 2023, It's June 2024 and I am on my 3rd Pixel 8 Pro! Now I know why they said the hardware isn't good!
My 1st Pixel 8 Pro had a horrible random restart issue, it would reboot BY ITSELF whenever it wanted. Sometimes it'd be on the table doing nothing, sometimes I'd be scrolling, sometimes I'd be showing someone something on my phone. HATED it!
Got sent a 2nd Pixel 8 Pro and everything seemed good. Well why wouldn't my Pixel Watch 2 suddenly not connect to Cellular? Google and Verizon tried EVERYTHING - even sending a 2nd watch (it didn't connect either so it wasn't the watch) the only thing that fixed it was getting a THIRD Pixel 8 Pro. And truthfully, I prefer the square watch face of my old Apple Watch 3 anyway.
I have now given gestures a try after using 3 button navigation forever. I still prefer my Touch ID over Face ID...but I'd say after seeing the upcoming iOS 18 for the iPhone, they're actually getting MORE customization than Pixel at this point. But I am stuck with the choice I made for now. Once this Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel Watch 2 are paid off...I am coming back to Apple. Only Touch ID, emoji kitchen, Magic Eraser, call screening and a few other things I'd likely miss from Pixel. It's okay, maybe next time I will get a phone with forced Face ID and no option of Touch ID, but at least it'll likely actually work right the first time.
I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max for personal use. I also have the Pixel 8 Pro for work phone. I've been a true IOS fan but I really like my Pixel. If I had iMessage on my Pixel, I would strongly consider only using Google. It's a damn good phone up next to my iPhone
RCS is basically the same as iMessage 👍
@@dgcustoms4077 yeah same difference. Just the ability to iMessage / RCS to iPhone from Pixel , etc...
Google just has some nice quality of life features that make it hard to switch.
Apple isn't offering anything innovative or compelling at this time. If they ever do, revisit them. For now, stick with the Pixel devices.
I felt the same way. Check out what's coming to iOS 18...they're getting better...by a lot.
@@libertymartin5167 yeah, I briefly thought about going back to iOS after their AI announcement because they seem to be learning from Google and doing it better but I know I will miss Android and regret it.
Plus I expect Google will double down on their Gemini engineering and do something similar to Apple within the next 1-2 Pixel generations anyways, so my next Pixel should be on par with the best phone AI tools or even better.
@@Jo5ue1 I know exactly what you mean, there's too much on my Pixel that I love. But in a way I would love to try a new iPhone too. I think they're both really good. The Pixel just still seems so futuristic if you know what I mean.
@@libertymartin5167 exactly.. Idk, pretty much all that's on display here has been done before and none of it feels particularly compelling. I think Google did a much better job coming up with genuinely useful and interesting uses for their Al in their recent Al update, much more packed with useful features like Al editing tools and live phone call translation and transcription, and Call Screening and less gimmicks like ai emojis and putting ChatGPT into Siri in a desperate attempt to make it not suck, which isn't even an original idea because Google literally just did that with Gemini in Google Assistant
Pixel is thriving here in india with market growth above 110% yoy. Also google will be manufacturing pixel devices in India in 2024 as per the news sources.
I consider pixel as the most productive smartphone.
Pixel is a easy choice to switch to from iphone. Most iphone users have google accounts for youtube and sync google calendar, contacts and gmail. I go back and forth between them. I used to have Samsung S22 Ultra but decided no more Samsung due to the extra Samsung apps that just complicate things with apps that I dont use besides the extra Samsung account needed.
Team pixel ! Pixel 8pro
I just switched from iOS to pixel 8 pro after 9 to 10 years
Loving it so far
Google still has their work cut out, but the pixel software is the most pleasing i have used when viewed holistically.
No, no they shouldn’t. Even Google knows iPhones are superior than Pixels, that is why they offer more trade in value for iPhones than their own Pixels. They really don’t care about what the existing owners feel about that. If they really valued their customers, they would offer more trade in value for their devices than iOS. Even in some Google or Android apps, they feature iPhones.
It's not just that they like that the apps are optimized for Apple's iPhone
*I switched from iPhone to Pixel a while back and even as I've compared the newer phones year after year while working for different carriers over the years, I'm sticking to the Pixel lineup.*
I quickly went back to iPhone. The hardware is bad on Pixel.
@@portman8909 *I guess we can agree to disagree. I like the overall software experience on Pixel and the camera much better than on iPhone.*
I've had a Pixel 7 Pro for 9 months or so. The main problem is the scrolling. It's REALLY bad. Noticeably awful. And I can't understand why and how Google have not managed to fix the issue over the course of the monthly updates. I don't want to switch to iOS but when I see how perfect and seamless the scrolling is on even an iPhone 13. It makes me wonder if I shouldn't just sell the Pixel and buy a used iPhone and actually make some money. Anyone else frustrated with the scrolling issue?
P8P has no scrolling issues at all, but nor did my P6P, smooth as butter. Not sure why you're having a problem!
YES OF COURSE
Starting with the pixel 6 Google started something great.
More competition is a great win for the consumers.
Yes
I just did after 15 years of iPhones (don't like where Apple is going tbh). Got a Pixel 7a which is a greatly priced smartphone (399 and it's Kudos to Google for coming up with such a phone at such a price) and transition was surprisingly smooth (transferring all data from the iPhone). I'm actually really satisfied and Android is packed with all sorts of things that I find much more user friendly than iOS (really nice OS too). And I'm not a nerd by any means. I just want things that work and are easy to operate. Was about to take the plunge on the Pixel 8 but then I've found the 7a which is almost half price and does a real lot. Couldn't be happier.
I'm planning my switch from 10 years of IPhone to Pixel. After reading & watching countless videos, there are still many unresolved issues with no solution (yet):
- Airpod Pro 2 are irreplaceable (the PixelBuds are nowhere close in micro & noise cancelation quality)
- Apple watch is far better than the Pixel watch
- I can't airplay music to my home theater system
- I can't remote the Apple TV any longer
- I can't transfer the Apple live photos to Google Photos without losing the live feature :(
- Find-My : I could use the Apple Website to use find-my for my remaining apple products
- Linking Apple Notes with Google Keep should be feasible but not sure
- I can't airdrop full resolution photos to my macbook and, worse, not to anyone I encounter on a trail or a hike in the nature without access to internet etc.
Once I figure out solutions for the problems listed above, I will switch.
The camera on the Pixel 8 Pro is far superior (not only from a technical, aka sensor size, perspective but also from a usability & feature perspective: the Pixel lets you take long-exposure shots and motion-blur shots for fast moving objects).
I wish it was easier to switch..
I will be making the switch
The only reason to abandon iOS i a price. In this case, that reason hasn't been met
I have always been a fan of apple products even before smart phones were invented!!🤣 Yes I’m that old. So when smart phones came out and went straight for the iPhone. In 2020 I tried the Pixel 4 and it was awful! I returned it in less than a week. I recently decided to carry two phones one for work and a personal phone. At first I got a second iPhone but traded it in for a Samsung galaxy. I did not like Samsung. I returned it and got the Pixel 8. So far I actually like the Pixel 8. I’m pleasantly surprised.
My current phone and my previous phone are Pixels. They have nice features, but stability isn't one of them.
I recently bought a Pixel 8. I have been an iPhone user for more than 10 years and I couldn't agree more that the Pixel is in the right direction. I wouldn't say Pixel 8 is already perfect, but I know it will get better. Same as what the iPhone was a few years ago. My hope is in the Pixel!
iPhone users are not critical thinkers. They buy whatever apple produce, and never look beyond the apple eco system. To most iPhone users, everything else is just not an iPhone... and therefore is just not on their radar. As a user of both android and apple phones... I would love to not have to use the iPhone at all. If google dumb-down android to attract iPhone users, it will degrade the user experience and reduce the adaptability and flexibility of android phones and tablets.
I am currently iPhone user iPhone 14 Pro. Pixel is temping for me but my phone is only 1 year old so I don’t see a point of changing. I will keep using it another 2 years and by then pixel will be done with custom chip so finally I can get the best experience possible.
My last iPhone was a 6 and it was garbage after a year.
I'll use my iphone 11 until it stops working, then I'll decide what phone to get... But if it stopped working today, I'd probably go with a pixel.
iOS is not easier . . .
Everything is ass backwards!
Settings aren't where they should be, app permissions are buried or non existent.
The level of customization is awful.
And don't get me started on how ugly the layout is, especially the quick settings or whatever they call it.
Want to turn off your location, that's fine but the phone will give you a popup when you do ANYTHING to tell you that location is off.
Awful phone experience!
iphone users have just "grown up" with it and don't know there's a better time to be had with Android these days.
No
Hilarious, the Apple store is a dreadful experience and the Apple eco system is just a set of bad decisions. Apple relies on product placement,marketing and people not doing any research when buying producta. In 2023 it is very hard to think of a single reason to buy any Apple product. Pixel is just one of many superior alternatives. Also cross platform support is more important than an eco system
You know if Apple only allowed you to multitask on an iPhone. My Note 3 could open two apps at one time one on the top and one on the bottom of the screen Apple still can't do it.
If you have a Mac or other Apple devices, don't switch, I own multiple Pixels and iPhones, and the experience is just not there when switching to Android.
However, if you don't, then I believe Pixel is a great deal for most people.
Exactly
The ecosystem makes switching tough
I use both and they are both great for what they are 🤷🏾♂️ I am not loyal to either brand or OS. They both have their gripes but nothing is perfect. Currently looking at getting a new phone and the Google Pixel 8 Pro is definitely a great choice for me and possibly a secondary phone. Currently looking at getting an iPhone 15 Pro/15 Pro Max as my primary device but that may be my last iOS phone for awhile. I wouldn’t leave iOS for Android entirely, and I wouldn’t leave Android for iOS entirely. I just like to switch it up every now and again.
I'm the same 👍😊
no
no, theyre free to use whatever they want
agreed!
literally the only single reason i know people stay with iPhone is texts being blue by using wifi texting, if they implement it i will swap.
Then they’re fools
You finally took of those hideous buds pro
I was the 1000th like 😤
Google doesn't even stand behind their own hardware. Samsung, Apple and even Motorola will give you higher trade in value for a Pixel 7 Pro than Google. Just bought a S23 Ultra for less than a 8 Pro would cost.
I've been an Apple product user for what seems like forever. What you say about these to phone makers is mostly true but where Google innovates and gives users what they want, Apple detracts in the name of innovation. They did away with expanded storage but so did everyone else. the straw that broke the camel's back though was doing away with the sim card in favor of e sim in the US. an obvious attempt to build carrier loyalty. i own the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max and have no intention of upgrading. i already own the Pixel 7 series and find them fast becoming my daily driver. I'll wait until the next iteration and then it's goodbye Apple and hello google. Thanks
..😬..
Google constantly making unnecessary changes.
Yeah hoping for more consistency in 2024
Hello from pixel 6a
To directly answer your question: Yes. they should.
They don't have to, but they SHOULD
TLDR: no
Hardware is too weak for 7 years still!
I agree, sadly.
Yep Pixel hardware is a joke. Won’t last and resell value is bad.
The Pixel isn’t as popular when it comes to Android. Some th😅ink that Android was created by Samsung.
Had A iPhone 11 Got The Google Pixel 8 This Past Weekend 😊
Good analysis. I wonder where Samsung fits into this ecosystem war?
Low in my book!
