Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro

I used to have a Pixel 5 and loved it. Recently switched to an iPhone 14 Pro and... frankly it sucks. iOS UX is pretty bad, IMO, and the photos are subpar. Google's computational photography is much better and faster. Android keyboards are more powerful and lets you easily type punctuation. The notification system is way more customizable. Imessages doesn't filter spam. In fact there isn't even spam filtering built in like there is on the Pixel. You have to buy a separate app. I regret getting an iPhone...

My partner has a Samsung and she's fine with it. But having their own photo and calendar apps makes things super confusing when you're trying to share with another Android user using the Google standard apps.

If I were getting another Android, which I really wish I did, I wouldn't even consider anything but the Pixels...

This is exactly how I feel about the iPhone. From the UX to the Photos. I recently broke the screen of my of my Pixel 5 and needed to replace it. For the brief period I was going to be without the phone I needed a temporary phone.

My partner has many iPhones laying around but I simply could not deal with iOS. I bought a Pixel 2 as a temporary phone.
