Lifetime iPhone User Switches to Google Pixel Fold

[@LordHollow]

An IPhone user realizing they're paying for the same phone over and over!? Congrats!

[@kaynwells6936]

Your ignorance is astounding. They aren’t the same phone, each consecutive one is faster and better. No need to “fix” what isn’t broken when others only copy anyway. Enjoy your silly hatred towards a device. Congrats

[@LordHollow]

@@kaynwells6936 You come in with insults, then advocate for understanding. IPhones are proven to have very little differences between iterations. Your responses also show that to be true. Very nice of you to prove my point, idiot.

@@kaynwells6936 oh look, another iPhone user

[@S1l3nt-Sn1p3]

I think we all know that the iPhone is a great phone and every year we more or less get the same phone with incremental updates to features but as a long time iPhone user as well just having made the switch to Android (specifically to the Pixel fold) it is refreshing to try something different especially in this form factor. But let's be honest, all phones basically are the same. I will say that I love not having to pick between my iPhone or my iPad since I have the best of both worlds now in the Pixel fold.

[@MrPaddyFowler]

[@paragpatel3441]

My biggest gripe is screen brightness outdoors in daylight. With a dark wallpaper, difficult to see content on the screen even with max brightness on.

[@Techfanatic73]

Yes I use it on max brightness 100% of the time because of that. I am still getting like 7-8 hours screen on time though. Many people complain about the battery life but mine has been great. But I am using android 14 beta so maybe that's why I get better battery life.

[@kavinab6629]

100% the biggest downside. Apart from this loving the device

[@mygins5820]

I wish you would have talked about miserable charging situation. There's no reason that in 2023 a phone should take 2 hours to charge and maybe that applies to the entire pixel lineup, but it's in general A really big issue for me especially when Google says their phone is charge of 30 watts and there capped at like 22

[@Evilclocker]

charging a Lip battery to fast often really shorten the battery life

[@ulize.]

@@Evilclocker that's at around 60w

[@Techfanatic73]

I charge my phone at night so I could care less about 2 hours charging. It last me all day. Also I will never stop using my iPhone as my daily driver. I use an android phone as well But will never go all android again. 2 hours does seem long but I am getting about 7-8 hours screen on time at max brightness and that using the larger screen like 90% of the time

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

I don't think I would pick this up. I don't normally pick a first generation product

[@Earl1403]

This is my view, £1800 on a first gen product is crazy. Maybe pixel fold 3 or 4.

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

Well hopefully but it looks like the new pixel fold will be 2000USD. I don't know if they will go cheaper. Samsung still is expensive with their fold. If I wanna go back to Android I'll either go with a normal pixel or maybe a z flip ​@@Earl1403

[@Callmebutturblk]

The price of the folding and the need for it is the key for most consumers regarding foldables😊.

It'd be great if they actually started selling these things in Nordic countries..

[@L.A.Tex_Norway]

We only got Google phones in Norway last year, after being ignored by Google for years. So I am not holding my breath for the Pixel Fold to be released here.

[@AndreaB6]

I wish the same for Australia... Hopefully the pixel phone 2 will be available worldwide (fingers crossed). I considered importing one from another country, but thinking about the lack of warranty in that case, I decided not to do so.

[@twistedelegance_]

@@Mandias812 Even if that was possible, the phone does not work on our 5G network. Some stores sell pixel phones online here, but there's a huge warning attached regarding some connectivity issues with our operators. We use different frequency here and there are some other issues with it too.

[@twistedelegance_]

@@L.A.Tex_Norway I'm glad you got them though, that's one step forward. Maybe they'll wake up eventually.

[@Ryan.Mon24]

You're last line in the video deserves praise after praise after praise. I have the pixel watch that I will use for sleep tracking but that's about it. We need something that matches the ultra. Hopefully in a few years.

[@PeteMatheson]

Hey! 👋 I still use my watch for workouts. Whoop has a new weight training feature but there aren't enough exercises in there yet to use it fully. I tend to use the whoop for a mixture of workouts, sleep, and also just recording daily journals such as taking vitamins, sleeping early, drinking alcohol etc and their monthly report is insane with what it gives you based on those journals!

[@PeteMatheson]

🤣 yeah I guess there’s no way to win here. Still gotta be small enough to fit in a pocket!

[@JHuffPhoto]

You aren't really switching from your iPhone to the Pixel Fold if you are still using your iPhone. Most normal people that switch from one system to another do not keep using both systems. Also using a phone for a few weeks does not really constitute as switching. Having said that your conclusions seem mostly sound and I would likely agree with them if I were to purchase the Fold. However I will (for now anyway) stick to my Pixel 6 Pro as $1,800 seems a bit pricey.

[@ganbly]

he would never switch to android or pixel because iphone users would find it hard to accept certain bad app optimizations, bad OS optimizations, bad memory management and the shattering of the pixel phones. I am on a pixel 7p and I boght pixel 1, 2, 3 xl, 5, 6p and now i am on 7p. If I compare to my wife's iphone, I can just say, the only reason I am not on iphone is because of photo quality of pixel (HDR) and the photo editing tools out of the box... iphone is far superior in video smooth recording, camera response time, speed, performance, reliablilty (I think I never saw the iphone crash), my pixel 7 pro alredy crashed so many times that I lost the count... and here I am now, thinking if I upgrade to the pixel 8 pro or move to the iphone... I'll probably go for the pixel 8 pro, so that I can keep comparing with my wife's pre-ordered iphone 15 pro max. :)

The bezels are inexcusable IMO. I honestly can't knock much about this phone, and I get what you're saying about it not being an issue unless it's side by side with a sleeker device. But whether it's side by side or not I'd always be thinking about it, because I know the better design exists. This is a multi billion dollar corporation with its finger on the pulse. It may not be a fifth generation, but that doesn't mean they had to design it like a first generation from five years ago.

Agree with you on the Watch ultra. I’ve purchased a Pixel Fold - only for £750, I certainly wouldn’t pay the £1800! However, I don’t like the Pixel watch 2 and ended up selling it on. The battery life is awful, and it just felt like something out of a bubble gum machine! 😂

[@PeteMatheson]

I've totally lost track these days 🤣

[@photosbymiketm2461]

Handing $1800 for any android device is a little wonky idea. Cause android device resale value gets very bad. You'll pay $1800 plus tax for the Pixel Fold and walk out the door and then literally your new Pixel Fold can now only be sold that same day for $1000 or less.. then couple months down the road value gets to $700-800. Whereas an iPhone resale value usually keeps their value higher for even much longer. Plus these fold devices themselves are harder to sell than normal slab devices, cause Fold or flip devices are a niche product and not many people want them. I had tried to sell a Samsung Fold 4 for a couple of weeks, no one even replied to my ad I had posted. So I went to cellphone carrier to exchange the Fold 4 for a Samsung s22 ultra last year and reposted an ad to sell the s22 ultra. The S22 ultra sold that same day.

Tbh Pixel fold does not seem as optimized as Samsung fold. So far I seen reviews say they can pair apps ?

[@PeteMatheson]

Not as optimised no, but you get the pixel os instead which some people prefer. Hopefully apps get updated quickly!

[@teamflowerninja]

I'd say most of the apps need to be updated by developers. Samsung does a bunch of wonky forcing of apps to fit the screen that Google won't do.
