Hi all,
Another of those “which one should I buy” posts.
I’ve been a life-long Android user, currently running the One Plus Nord* (taken delivery of a Pixel 6 Pro, more on that shortly). A couple of items annoy me with the Nord (trivial, but annoying), such has having physical buttons on each side of the device, resulting in me taking a screen shot on the device almost every time I pick up the phone.
Not a Nord issue, but certainly Android; every time a security update or patch is released, something will not work as it once did. Currently when invoking Android assistant via my in car entertainment system to request something like “play a song on Spotify”, Google now informs me I must acknowledge the request on my device when it is safe to do so. That is not hands free! It was working fine last month!!!
Got a baby on the way, I’m sure taking photos is going to be a big part of my life shortly, I’m not 100% happy with the cameras on the Nord. They’re just “OK”.
I have taken delivery of a Pixel 6 Pro. Camera is great, love the inbuilt Pixel feature where it can identify music being played. What I don’t like so far, battery life. Granted my main use has been during setup and it will take some time to “calibrate”, but 4-6 hours of screen time is not great, and coming from a Nord where I could use the device for 2 days and stick it in a rapid charger and have 90% battery 30 minutes later, I feel I’ll always be looking for a charge point for the Pixel.
What is also grinding me is the inconsistency within apps. I use Bitwarden as a password manager; while spending countless hours logging back into various apps on the Pixel, as an end user, it seems pretty random when Android believes it should show the Bitwarden password vault to login to apps. I found myself having to switch between Bitwarden and apps multiple times to grab credentials. Annoying!
Be it a life-long user of Android for phones, I have also been a life-long user of Apple iPads! I get it, a tight ecosystem, everything works. Bitwarden popups up all the time (OK, annoying it cannot be set as a default and I have to press a prompt everytime, but at least it shows up!).
Looking at reviews, the iPhone 13 Pro Max will have the battery life I am used to, wont result in me taking screenshots every time I pickup the device, and satisfies my lust for Bitwarden! To some extent, writing this post I think I’ve talked myself into ditching the Pixel 6 Pro and Android in favour of the iPhone.
I guess I
