I'm looking to buy an iPhone 15 when it comes out. For those that also have a Pixel, what are some things that each phone does completely better than the other?

I was thinking of using the iPhone as a phone first, and having the Pixel as just a Personal Smart Device that I can use to do sideloading, emulation, file organizing, and other productivity and entertainment stuff, maybe even social media like having Mastadon and Lemmy there, maybe Signal too.

Whereas I'll have the iPhone for calling, texting, streaming, CarPlay, News, and Apple Watch stuff.

What are some other things I can segment?

(There's a lot of content and apps available on both, but I'm wanting to know if there's anything that's visibly or marginally better on either device that you've noticed)

If I used an IPhone my approach would just be to get the cheapest smallest version which is the SE, and it'd just be to use imessage for blue bubbles and Apple wallet.

For that reason I wish there was a ipod nano sized iPhone.
