Upgraded my Pixel 4 to Android 12 and told my wife to stay on Android 11. Bugs and questionable design changes. I do not think she will miss any feature ... erh actually what are the new features in 12?

In fact they stripped lot of features by trying to hide stuff in layers with that god awful UI. Sometimes I feel like Android tries too hard to be iOS and loses its identify completely. If I wanted an iOS experience I might as well use iPhone.

* Clock takes two lines on a lock screen. Gigantic clock! Because we have poor vision.
* "Now playing" runs on a lock screen and a lock screen only
* Google Assistant cannot be fully disabled
* Native launcher uses VERY LARGE ICONS - 4 max in a row! A-la AARP advertised phone for grandma with big buttons.
* Can't remove Google search bar via native launcher.
* One tap disable?! That's for penguins! We are not penguins! We are senior citizens! Our fingers need exercise!
