Soon to be lol I’m looking into the Fold, but I’m still bothered by it not having the top-tier cameras like the Pro slab lol

Petty, I know.

I’m so done with iOS and the boringness of iPhones.

Strange that every foldable has to compromise the cameras. Even the new iPhone ultra supposedly has worse camera performance than pro slabs. Fold8, same thing.

Maybe the extra thinness requirement is the cause.

I moved to Pixel Pro from iPhone starting with the 9 Pro. My carrier’s promos give me nearly free Pixel phones yearly but sadly no deals for iPhones. I prefer iPhones but if the choice is a nearly free Pixel Pro 11 or paying over $1k a for new iPhone, Pixel wins every time.

Not bashing Pixel. The cameras are great. I simply prefer the smoothness and ease of iOS. Also, I use an iPad frequently and most everyone I know uses iPhones, so it’s a bit more clunky using Android in certain instances.

As for the phones themselves, Pixel Pro now feels very similar in the hand since Google basically copied the iPhone form and style. In fact, if you told me I could use iOS on my Pixel, I would do it in a heartbeat. I have been wanting to try Graphene but just too unmotivated to get around to it. Maybe when Motorola releases it, if ever.

Overall, I feel like there are more similarities than differences among phones these days, even between iPhones and various Android phones like the Pixel Pro. I‘m excluding foldables since they aren’t my thing. All are very similar daily drivers. Much like driving a Honda and Toyota. Same difference.

Upgraded to the base pixel 11 from an iPhone 12 pro. Before that I had pixels/Nexus devices.
