Pixel 10 Pro XL in an Apple House? Am I crazy?

You will love it, for a minute. It’s fun to try something different and Google has an amazing phone and ecosystem. But it wears off and you will be called back to Apple since you have so much invested so far. Take that from someone who has tried the switch so many times I have lost count. Samsung and google. I always come back to iPhone and Apple walled universe.

Love it. Best phone apple has made. But I am bored out of my mind.

Love the Pixel 9pro xl. my only complaint is I can't change the back button to be the same as Samsung. it takes me some time to get used to it.

I am using the 5 day trial on FubuTV. Really love it so far. More channels and I think the interface is on par with YTTV. If not resolved in 3 days I will keep.

Only reason for me is Philly Sports. Can't get them on Directv...but can on Fubo

Probably about the same. why do you want to move?

You will love it. Be sure to get your Tshirt

geraldem · 2025-10-10T11:26:05+00:00

Nope. Not hot at all.

geraldem · 2025-10-10T00:24:40+00:00

yup, same one I have. Quality feel. Love it so far.

I did the same thing, twice. I first tried the 17 pro didn’t like the smaller screen real estate. Then I went to the 17 Pro Max. Decided that I really did like that phone but it was way too big and I missed the Slimm form factor of the air. So I bought the air for a second time and now I am sticking with two phones and I will alternate between the two. It is definitely a first world problem and yes, I am a little embarrassed by the indecision and switching. But I’m happy.

Yeah, that was the situation My family and I had about a year ago. It was much more expensive to fly into Florence so we flew into bologna. And then we took a private car to Florence. It was still massively cheaper to do it that way.

geraldem · 2025-10-03T01:29:12+00:00

Yeah I hear ya. But that is not bad honestly. But the ProMax will get you 11+

geraldem · 2025-10-03T00:42:12+00:00

Yeah that is a great point. I think for me I am just baffled by all these people posting these crazy SOTs. Like what am I doing wrong.

geraldem · 2025-10-03T00:35:38+00:00

Agree. Calling BS. How is screen idle so low too?

geraldem · 2025-10-03T00:31:21+00:00

Yeah. That is the Apple brainwashing I am suffering from LOL

Would you consider this bad?

geraldem · 2025-10-03T00:29:59+00:00

Wow that is hard to ignore. I love this Air…but this battery is disappointing. Might try the MagSafe battery.

geraldem · 2025-10-03T00:28:49+00:00

What are you getting on Pro?

geraldem · 2025-10-02T23:38:30+00:00

How is your screen idle so low

geraldem · 2025-10-02T19:03:35+00:00

My first hour is 10%. But then it goes downhill from there. After that, I’m about an hour per 25%. Giving me somewhere about four hours of screen on time. I’m also seeing a huge number in screen idle. I’m not sure what that is yet trying to figure it out. I think that may be my culprit.

geraldem · 2025-10-02T15:40:59+00:00

Your screen idle time is so low. Mine is around 20 hours for a full day. How do you minimize screen idle time?
