I switched from iPhone to the Pixel 2: One-week report

iPhones and high-end Android devices both offer a mature user experience, and you can't objectively say that one is better than the other.

I agree. Both are great. It boils down mostly to:

- Are you in the Google ecosystem: Google Apps are greater on Android.

- Do you use a Mac: iDevices and Macs do handoff (you can take your phone calls on the Mac, continue typing an e-mail on your iDevice, etc.).

- How many years and how regular do you want security updates. Here generally: iDevices > Google Pixel > non-Google Android.

- How convenient are you with Apple or Google having a chunk of your private data.

Also, more in general, non-Google Android can be a terrible mess. For instance, I used Motorola phones for a while, they used to update phones pretty quickly after Google, but then you were stuck with the extremely buggy .0 version for a long time. Android 5.0 on my Moto X 2013 or 2014 (I don't remember) was terrible, since it had a memory leak. It took them > 6 months to start pushing out fixes.

You make a couple of good points, but I think it's again down to your personal situation and taste that makes it "boil down" to these points.

While the transition of management screwed it, Moto X 2013 was one of the best Android phones manufactured.
