People buy iPhone because they're consistent, polished, and just work. I love my Pixel, but glitches pop up more often than they should for a $1k phone. I don't think I'd ever return to Apple, but sometimes the temptation shows up when they get a feature (admittedly late) but the implementation and function just plain works.
Also security is better on Apple.
Hahahaha
Sticking one's head in the sand and pretending security is a non-issue is not actually more secure
If you can't admit security is better through IOS then you're the one sticking your head in the sand, tbh
Security on Android, as an OS, is arguably better. However in practice it's very manufacturer-dependent. If they didn't butcher the OS, and actually rolled updates without carriers getting in the way, it wouldn't be a contest at all.
" If they didn’t butcher the OS, and actually rolled updates without carriers getting in the way, it wouldn’t be a contest at all." but they did though.
Huh?
I'm still surprised people don't just buy the a versions. Nearly all the same features for sub-$500. And the last 2 times (5a and 6a) that they came out, I was offered $150 to trade up. Seeing as one of the ones they accepted for that was destroyed from water damage, it was a good deal. But even full price they're worth it if you like Pixels.
I checked the comparison for the newest: 7a/7/7Pro https://store.google.com/magazine/compare_pixel?hl=en-US and I really see very few differences. 7a even has wireless charging now. It's mostly size I think.
Yeah I think the 'A' versions are quite amazing and really don't get enough credit. For me, the size was the primary factor. I came from a Galaxy Note, so the 7 Pro was just barely smaller. But I liked the idea of a slightly more simplistic interface. Pixel, from a software perspective, felt like the iPhone of androids - it's simple, clean, and should just work. Though I've noticed that my Samsungs with OneUi were more stable with less use errors.
