This has me now looking at the Pixel 7 - just like that.


The newer pixel phones are awesome. Great camera and software. Love the functionality with google photos, Google TV's etc. I used Google Fi as my carrier for years until I needed unlimited data and it just wasn't worth it.

I have no misconception that Google the company isn't just as full of lefty assholes as Apple. I've always hated Apple for their unnecessary proprietary bullshite used to gouge their consumers. itunes, their stupid charging cables, not allowing additional memory cards back when it was necessary, etc.

I will definitely push me to leave on general principles. I won’t return if I do.

iPhones used to be great back in the late 2000s. But somewhere after the 4s, their software got old, stale, constricted, and buggy. After busting into the scene with innovation, they've been playing catch-up to everyone else.

The only saving graces for Apple is iMessage and the fact that their products are used for social status purposes.

I can't leave Apple as I do not own any of their products.

Google is as woke if not more than Apple. Why would you buy a phone from them?

We use google fi. I have been buying the cheap moto phones from them. In 2020 I got a couple for $50, new. This year I got the moto stylus 5g for $150.

The moto phones are just fine. Sure the cameras could be better, but I'm not spending hundreds for a phone camera.

If Apple whacks Twitter, I would do it in a heartbeat if it meant zero interruption in my existing service, carrier, features, and price.

Someone with better services??

It’s all BS these people saying they are going to quit this or quit that. This is after all “tigerdroppings” and filled with loyal LSU fans even though the school lit up a state owned stadium in George Floyd’s high school colors and took the name of a WWII hero who donated a lot of money to school off the library and would not return his war medals to his family.

Everyone in the house at one time had an iPhone. Now everyone except my wife has gone the Samsung route. I really don't miss anything from the iPhone. They all do the same stuff.

I keep seeing this and I don't get it. I have an iphone, wife has a galaxy. I text her, she texts me. I don't do anything different and I have no idea what sort of phone I'm messaging 99% of the time anyway. Is it just video/pictures that are the issue?

Not trying to be snarky at all. But I think Apple can afford to lose you and some of us on here as customers. All this to say that they will continue to dominate the markets for their products. Just being real bro.


Could be worse than you think. My completely apolitical wife is upset about this and is ready to drop apple, and we have a lot of apple. If she noticed, a lot more people noticed than apple was anticipating.
