If they're going to reduce me to a user, iOS is the better choice. I had an iPhone before and it's a picture taking, instagram, social media machine with iMessage—bringing the console wars to normies since inception.

Because the hardware is so constrained an iphone lasts forever compared to a similar android. My two year old pixel is slow now, but I know people completely happy with a five year old iphone. Pause, I checked and the oldest iphone that receives updates is an iphone 11, which is the exact model I had before going back to android.

I have multiple generations of pixel phones and could not tell the difference in performance between them in basic tasks. Maybe because i installed GrapheneOS which makes both stock android and ios feel like a bloat and spyware riddled toy.

I have a Pixel 7 and it's ridiculously slow so I've been thinking about GrapheneOS.

The only reason for me to get a pixel is GOS. I never want to get back, it makes other mobile os feel icky.
