I was stuck with iPhone for ten years and Pixel was the best way to leave them. I personally have never dealt with any Pixel bug. After a while you realize Apple doesn't innovate, why does Siri still suck, why are you still forced to arrange a home screen icons how they want you to, why do you have to pay $999+ for hardware features that Apple says are "pro" but yet find the same 'pro" features on sub $800 Androids.. just a thought. But again to each their own.

I think Google is doing the right thing by focusing on year over year improvement. That's how Apple got to be as big as they are. The other thing is Google needs to sell their products in more countries if they really want to grow their hardware base.

Just switched from the iPhone 13 Pro Max to the Pixel 8 pro, I've got no regrets !

I've been a strictly apple user since the first iPhone (I was 21 when it was released) ever since then I've had just about every iPhone. I started yearly upgrading with the 11 pro. This year I got the iPhone 15 pro. I watched the pixel keynote and was impressed. When pre order rolled around I pre ordered the 8 pro and the regular 8 to see what one I like better. It was a fairly easy crossover. I've never used a android and I must say I was impressed with Google OS. I thought I wasn't gonna like it at all and not get the hang of it but I am. I went with the 8 pro and my husband is going to use the pixel 8 I bought. He switched from iPhone to the flip 5 this year and it wasn't such a easy transition for him. So he's wants to try the pixel out. I also went with the pixel watch 2 (I had the series 8 Apple watch) and I went with the pixel buds pro. So far loving everything about the switch.

Have both ios and android device. Dailying iphone 15 pro, and switched from s23 to pixel 8. Pixel's android is really close to what ios can offer, feels like at this point it is really up to personal preferences as both os are very clean and mature

Switched from iPhone 13 to pixel 8.
Love this thing so much.

I've been a long time Android user, but I got the Pixel 7 Pro last spring and it felt like a HUGE step forward from the One Plus device I got in 2019.

Yep the Pixel 8 is moving in the right direction, but a putting in better modem would have gone a long way to making the Pixel line truely compete against iPhone and Galaxys

[tejasraman]

I am really happy with my various Pixels... they share some of the good attributes of iPhones while being more developer friendly

I've done it. I switched as a frustrated and sad iPhone 13 mini Lover to an Pixel Fold 512 GB. And what should I say, it was the right decision and I have now an iPhone mini combined with an iPad mini in one device. I'm happy so far. But I hope the foldable screen is lasting long but only time will tell

And then there's me, who just switched to iPhone after like 15 years of Android only. As an Android developer with 7 years of experience, Google really need to make a hard change there, because developing for Andorid is such a pain

[jinvid]

I switched, after 13 years with Apple. It wasn't as hard as they make it out to be. Yeah I miss some features like Airdrop and continuity, but overall I'm loving this Android experience! It gives me more freedom than any iPhone ever could.

If Google comes out with a Pixel Watch that is on par with or rivals the Apple Watch Ultra (2), I’ll switch. The watch is really what’s holding me back.

Google needs to bring back the Pixelbook. Still using the original Pixelbook daily, better now than ever. Use the Pixelbook go as a secondary. They just need to nail the pricing on it, which won't happen unfortunately.

I switched to Pixel after 13 straight years on iPhone a couple years ago. It wasn’t hard to switch. I loved the Android experience and came close to buying a new Pixel 8 Pro. Instead I got an iPhone 15 Pro Max through a carrier deal to go along with my iPad Pro and MacBook Pro. I was tired of missing the texts in my family’s group chat. But I won’t be getting another Apple Watch. I like my Pixel Watch much better and was never a fan of the Apple Watch. I’m going to try to find a deal on a Pixel 8 Pro so I can just roll with both. Life’s too short to just deal with Apple’s boring trajectory. I’m already missing the Pixel camera and am finding it more difficult to get clear shots on this iPhone. And then there’s the horrible lack of easy customization.

Pixel is thriving here in india with market growth above 110% yoy. Also google will be manufacturing pixel devices in India in 2024 as per the news sources.

I've been very happy with my P7 UE and A14 addressed my main gripe by improving battery life. I doubt I'll upgrade until Tensor G5 is available.

Before seeing this video, I'm sticking with pixel. From 3, 5 i love the smaller size, simplicity of operation, rich balanced features and delightfully uncomplicated software. And it keeps getting better.

[foreverfrederick]

I was stuck on the iphone hype until i broke it with the Pixel Fold. I love my Fold and looking forward to the next Pixel Fold, however I think Google should start repairing their own phones and open more stores.

Google has the WORST customer service, and I hate not being able to walk into a brick and mortar to speak to someone who actually has skin in the game.
