Im going to ditch my iPhone in favor of a Pixel. This attitude has pushed me over the edge, and the device isn't really any better than Android. Some aspects yes, but other are much worse. Dark patterns like the appstore/web/browsers restrictions and iCloud upselling are a big no-no. Never again.

And all my Pixels (Pixel 1, Pixel 3 and now Pixel 6a) worked flawlessly for years after purchase.

Whereas two separate family members had constant issues with their iPhones.

Beware of anecdotal evidence.

Yup, my Pixel 8 Pro has great battery life. +1 on don't trust random internet anecdata.

My current iPhone has shit battery compared to my slightly less shitty previous pixel's battery.

I own a Pixel 7a and an iPhone 14. Battery life is too similar for me to notice a difference. I never systematically tested it though. Pixel 6 was the same as well.

The only phone I owned recently that had really terrible battery life even when new was the iPhone 12 mini.

I still can’t fathom how people can look at the pixel range with their multi-generational emergency call issues and still think “yep, that’s the phone for me”.
