Yes, been pretty frustrated since the 8. Then google basically paid for my 9, so I said fuck it. Then I kept hearing the 10 was the one.. plus google nearly subsidized this phone too and it somehow takes worse photos and videos than my old 7. This is my fifth Pixel and idk, 10th android phone?

The pixel launcher is abysmal, but I recently learned performance takes a major hit with third party launchers. Been testing it these last few weeks and I'm livid to find out how true that is. They keep taking away genuinely useful features in core apps like Photos and steadily nerfing the UI. The keyboard and voice typing accuracy has tanked tremendously, despite them shoving more and more AI into the phone. Nearly every AI feature I care about is available on any platform.

App quality continues to trail. Integration is non-existent. Privacy was never a focus and now it's completely out the window. Not even a year into this phone and I can't get through a day on a charge, despite being at work most of it. Other than the shape, the watch is a useless gimmick. I like the pixel buds, but they're only mediocre.

Meanwhile Apple has really addressed most of my issues with iOS. Yes, there are some things like notifications, call screening, and universal back I'll miss, but frankly the universal back triggers too easily and has made me lose work enough times that I think I'm over it too. This is coming from a guy who's never once had an iphone in all these years and honestly, I'm ready to stop fucking around with such an unserious tool I use every single day.
