i have both. still prefer pixel because i want to be able to install and test malware. pixel works well. i have 8 pixels and only 1 iphone. iphone is very heavy and not suitable for recording duplex phone conversations
iPhone is truly heavy…at least up to ip14

androids way lighter

Apple little new innovation in past 5-10years so have to devote more expenses in the marketing department to pay out for such 'news'.

the most important feature is the ease of file transfer in a simple format. iPhone one is too stylish and is limited by using apple software.

Recently my office co worker who is crazy about phone got a new iPhone which has usb-c port says that with usb-c the iPhone can plug in all kind of device to use on iPhone making is a few steps closer to android.

Although the iPhone file manager still have some limitations but it works fine with copying file between USB C flash drives and connecting to SMB SHARES.

Could you please share the restrictions on iPhone ?

I am an iPhone all my life, I don’t know what I have been missing the features on Android side.

the mandatory itunes usage just to transfer videos/music over to the phone is already a major turn off. Also customisation options for iphone is simply pathetic. :s27:

You try using a high end android phone then you'll know the difference.

iPhone = use the phone like how Apple wants you to use it
Android = freedom to choose

Biggest plus is can side-load apps on Android that are actually good for the users (although noobs will also side-load stupid **** and get hacked). Watching youtube with 0 advertisements and even auto skipping the youtuber video's in-video promotions is unmatched.

I haven’t used iTunes to connect my iPhone for many years.

Guess there is no real use case for me. As my laptop has no music/video, my iPhone can access YouTube and Apple Music directly.

As for customization, could you please give examples. Thanks.

Google doesn't make good phone at all. Serve him right for buying Google Phone. Anyway, Google's android system really lousy.
