Google kills two-year “Pixel Pass” subscription after just 22 months::Two years on a Pixel Pass was supposed to get you a new phone.

But why iPhone?
I went to search for what the best phones are. Now I’m on OnePlus 8T for the past three years and the device still kicks most phones asses for what was a good price. I’ll use this for another two years I guess and then I’ll look at what is the best phone again. It won’t be iPhone, that’s for sure
Apple products are overpriced like hell, and simply not yours to do with what you want.
Probably because it’s not 2010 and both platforms are matured to the point of being able to do almost the exact same things for the majority of users, so it’s just down to small personal preferences.
This is so true now. I used to go back and forth between iPhone and Pixel phones, and then a few years ago decided it’s just nicer with an iPhone. I know I’ll get regular updates and I’ll get OS updates way longer than any Android phone will. The OSes are pretty much the same now, little tweaks here and there between the two and they are nearly identical to how they work. And iPhone just has more QOL features over Android.
Yeah pretty much the same except iOS is absolute trash with the shittiest ux imaginable. Yeah, I have to use them for work. Safari is a fucking trainwreck as one example
The UX is pretty comparable to the Android one, I think. I don’t use Safari, so I don’t know too much about it. I use Firefox instead.
And no I think the ux is not intuitive on iOS. Some of the simplest common options are either hidden or missing altogether
Firefox on iOS is actually just a reskinned safari, because apple will not allow an actual different browser on their platform. The EU probably is going to change that though.
I think this is mostly right. There used to be big differences and now its very much just a preference. Except when price is taken into account.
Apple no longer have an excuse for the high price of their phones because they are, as you said, basically the same as androids and in some cases just not as powerful.
Androids have the advantage of competing with itself. There are many different makes and models of android all fighting for space so new features or improvements happen faster than they do for iphones. Apple have lost what made iphones unique and therefore “worth it” in many consumers opinions.
If they are now basically an android they should cost the same as an equivalently specced android.
iPhone is still WAY more expensive, more prone to failure, harder and more expensive to repair, and you can’t do the same with the device as on an android. So as long as you are a rich non-power user with little technical knowledge and don’t care about the money, then I guess iPhones (and apple in general) are okay, I guess.
That also directly describes most Apple users
If anything that’s nonsense, iPhones are cheaper and easier to get repaired and far less to failure and I say this as someone who runs a store that sells phones.
iPhones are cheaper than Android phones? And they’re easier to repair?
I’m sorry but both those claims are lies. iPhones and apple hardware in general always is more expensive for less hardware. And though I’m sure there are some hard to repair Android phones out there, apple typically makes sure you get sabotaged if you don’t repair your hardware at their stores and yes, their repair services are insanely expensive
Try to as a normal non technical user get a random £200-300 android phone repaired that isn’t Samsung and then try to get an iPhone repaired and see the cost difference
Because they’re lying
Because the phones just fucking work
Do you mean to say that android phones don’t work?
They do not work as well no, take for example if I buy an android phone + a Samsung watch + Sony headphones and run them together you know what happened last time. The Samsung watch broke the Sony headphones touch controls because of the apps not integrating properly.
That’s the kind of it just works apple phones don’t deal with, I work with phones daily and the amount of people I see return android phones compared to iPhones is not even funny
Just buy a different android phone you buffoon
He’s probably talking about his dissatisfaction with Google’s entire Android platform on top of Pixel Pass
I mean, there are android phones from 2013 that still work…no need to advertise for apple.
lol, oh now it’s too much?
I don’t believe you.
