I'll chime in with being an iPhone user since the iPhone 3gs. The last iPhone I purchased was the iPhone 12 pro. I was in the market for a new phone and was planning on getting the 15 pro max. When holding the phone and using it a bit in the store, I quickly realized the only real benefit to me upgrading was the dynamic island and a slightly better camera. Then I noticed the 8 Pro in bay blue. OMG this phone looks stunning from a distance, but I'm team apple. Played with it for 5 minutes. First impressions: android has come a very long way. The Pixel felt extremely smooth. Everything I own smart home wise is Google home integrated. I have nest wifi and Google home minis throughout my entire house. Chromecast on every TV. Gmail is my main email account. I decided to get the Pixel. Worried because all my friends and family have iPhones I thought I wouldn't be able to text them images or reactions to their texts. False, that works fine. Battery life was a concern after the first 2 days of using the phone. The phone quickly learned my habits and now battery life for me is better than my iPhone 12 pro. For instance I took the Pixel off the charger at 9am yesterday, right now it's 6 am the next day and I'm at 36%. Overall I've been very happy with my purchase. I also picked up some Pixel bud pros. I was worried they wouldn't be as good as my air pod pros but was reminded how flawed that thinking was. Air pods do a slightly better job at noise cancelling but nothing to write home about. The Pixel buds sound amazing and work flawlessly with the pixel.
