As is reselling your data along a daisy chain the foreign and domestic corporations and governments are aggregating into a database. Or I could say that having only 55% the performance in 2024 is an insult. But let's be honest. When you evaluate which phone is better you have to look at the whole totality. Not just one little thing that one does better than the other. Basically unless Google got WAY better at everything, my personal choice is to have my data be mine alone. But your own preferences may vary.

I daily-drive a chineese knock-off android I got for 250 euros for context. Thus Apple telling their 60Hz=120Hz on others is a complete bs. But those who never tried 120, ain't missing it. 60Hz isn't bad without experiencing better refresh rates.

Android OS takes Linux kernel and turns it into spyware-enabled at so many levels. In addition its apps are Java which are less RAM efficient and take a big hit on performance. To rub salt into that wound it then gets a chip that has the performance of an iPhone from three years ago. Which means the prophecy will be fulfilled much sooner that your phone will feel old and clunky, several winters from now. They might as well etch "WINTER IS COMING" on the back of the case.

Everybody was worried about this exact thing when the Pixel 6 with the first Tensor came out. And look, it's already over 3 years old and the phone, lo and behold, works completely fine. WIth Pixels it's not about raw power, it's about optimization. And boy, they have it optimized better than anyone. Raw power is useless if you can't utilize it. They wouldn't make it a selling point and outright guarantee a seven year support if they weren't confident in delivering it. That's why Apple for example never says how long they will support their devices, because they themselves don't know when they will pull the plug to force users to upgrade. With a Pixel and a Galaxy you can be certain that the phone will be updated for seven years.

Both Pixel and iPhone have great software so it comes down to what you want, iOS or Android. At this point no one phone is better than the other as both have caught up to each other and it comes down to personal preference.

Apple is a lot faster and so much nicer, for repair. And has physical locations for it. Apple is clear winner for everything EXCEPT cracked back case where they will punish you hard for not having Apple Care. The battery swap service is ESPECIALLY nice, basically giving you a better-than-new phone without a care or worry. Google has a spotted history in their repair services unfortunately, and the spots are more of the dark colour. Living with them every day, if it's your only device, they're about equal. The win could go to one or the other depending on your own habits and uses. If you're someone who has an Apple tablet and/or computer, the iPhone takes no prisoners, the Android is left as smoking ashes on the floor. The same goes for if privacy and security are important to you.

When I had a pixel a few years ago, I smashed my screen, went to a local shop to replace it - they told me to go to eBay, buy the screen myself and come back for them to replace it for me. They simply didn't stock it. iPhone and Samsung and other screens? No problem.

Try doing that with a pixel running Gemini , the response i get from my pixel 8 pro is “ sorry i cant do that yet “ ! The iphones also have magsafe which opens up a whole bunch extra capabilities and features which i use every single day. As for 60 HZ , iphones are still very smooth in their operation and basically lag free , opening up a page and scrolling through let’s say a bunch of news articles. , my pixel with 120 hz scrolls through them at the speed of light , however they are not even loaded properly yet to look at anyway 😊. My other old iPhone 12 Pro Max with 60 hz loads smoothly and mostly all at once and i can look at the article about the same time as a pixel with 120 hz . Sorry guys , 120 hz is actually a nothing burger , sure its nice to see all those pages wizz past , but in the scheme of things in day to day , the 60 hz screens we have been using for general duties for the last decade or so work just fine . Also no mention of the extra software features that are very handy on the iphones , and that is of course shortcuts . Also the IOS ecosystem with the interoperability of different apple software and devices , i have been an android user for 12 years , but an apple user for 4 , and I have to say ….. it’s dam good . Both have their merits , but imo , a lot of the AI stuff is very gimmicky , and on pixels in some cases it detracts from what the old google on board assistant can do.

[@Äpple-pie-5k]

Notch was like 2022. It's now a dynamic island that you can interact with and present information and features, instead of dead space like on the Pixel.

[@stevehaney344]

@@Äpple-pie-5k It's a block of nothing that gets in the way of video playback. Those features can be represented on screen without being obtrusive when watching video or playing a game. It's the same as the old notch but further down into the screen and far larger than a small hole for a camera on the pixel. And while I'd prefer there not be that small hole at all it's better than that notch.

[@Äpple-pie-5k]

@@stevehaney344 You're right in this aspect. For me, I watch video on nice large screens, I won't even watch on iPad mini 6, too small. So for me, having best-in-class face unlock and a dynamic island that shows useful info for background apps and activities, is a clear winner. But I can see why someone who doesn't track background timers/scores/stocks/music apps/etc., but only uses their phone for watching videos because they don't have an iPad or monitor or TV, would favor the Android. I really do. But making this one special person with this one special unfortunate situation, be the decider of which phone is better, that's laughable.

As for the information displayed your notch does widgets cover all of that.

[@sasamilosevic664]

I don't understand what the word "regular people" means? Does it mean and refer to people who don't have enough funds for a flagship device or to people who are digitally illiterate in the 21st century??? Because if we look around us, most of the regular people whichever group they belong to, from the two examples above, they use flagship phones, including countries where poverty prevails. Apple's basic model has always been the least sold compared to the pro and pro max models, so those who have the basic model, mine is belief that they bought it because of a lack of funds for a pro or pro model and because of an excessive desire to be in the apple elite world, they chose that very model and claim that they are satisfied., Regular, people who have mid-range phones have displays of 90 and plus hertz, also, regular, people who have flagship phones have 120 hertz, so I don't understand how we can come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter to them, or they don't see the difference, when they already use devices with 90 plus hertz? Except, of course, the elite and only for those stylish apple users who use the basic model because they really really like it and are completely satisfied and don't care about 60 hertz???? My conclusion.. Regular people from any class already have 90 plus hertz and in no case they go back to 60 hertz to see the difference.Huawei,Motorola,Xiaomi they stop implementing 60 hertz screen sense when?Even in basic models.It became standard not premium!Except, of course, people who bought the basic iPhone model for reasons and justifications known to them and claim to be perfectly satisfied. Let me note, it's not my point to humiliate anyone, just to me it is not clear, and no one can convince me that anyone went to apple to buy the basic model because he is completely satisfied with it and that he does not see the difference between 60 hertz and 90 plus hertz at all?? Condemn me as much as you want for what I said, but all this seems to me like a taboo topic that no one wants to talk about, but I had to say and present my conclusion.And one more thing.WE are who made apple trillion dollars worth company,because they have a best products.Now? Does still have best products compared to other phone manufacturers?You can't not to see better products,no matter how much we love and like apple.For my money i will buy what is better.Always.And apple should think about that,it has to put more effort to convince me that they are the BEST.Because they are not anymore.Sad to someone even for me but it's true

[@donavanboykin9489]

@@bruxi78230 The number of phones old one vs the other has no bearing on which device is better. Apple has a lock on the market from customers that see iPhones as a status rather than actually wanting the phones for what they can actually do. It's a bunch of peer pressure and misconceptions about what Apple CAN do and what Android can't. When really, everyday people could care less. Even if Apple users are shown that the Pixel phones are better in every way, they won't switch until the Pixels are to the point where you're laughed at if you don't have one. Funnily enough, people are starting to talk about how much better the Android cameras are, namely the Samsung and the Pixels. So, we'll see what happens. One thing's for sure: Apple needs to dig a bit deeper when it comes to their "innovations." Otherwise, they may be slowly giving up their position 🤷🏾‍♂️

Just as I can't conceive that, by the end of 2024, an $800 smartphone will have a 60 hertz display, just as, I find it even worse to have an $800 smartphone with a mid-range processor that tries to hide this by selling the lie that its processor is specifically designed for iA, which is absolutely false, even the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Apple A16 generation processors are more powerful than the Tensor G4 in ML and Ai tasks 🤷🏽‍♂️. I can't understand people who want to justify the price of these Pixel 9 with this logic "It's true that it's not as powerful as the competition, don't have the best battery 🔋 life, charging speed... , but for standard/basic use it's fine, it's good enough", pff 🤦🏽‍♂️, well in this case, it's should have cost $400-$500 with 256G like a good enough smartphone, not $800 with 128G like the high-end competition 🤷🏽‍♂️ The iPhone 16 with its 60 hertz screen is not better either, and the terrible logic of Apple 🍏 worshippers is that "As long as you don't know you're being scammed, there's no problem, and your scammer shouldn't be seen as a scammer by those who know he's scamming you", pff 🤦🏽‍♂️

Resale doesn't matter for normal people that keep a phone for the long haul. Dumb money is irresponsible people that sell, buy, sell, and buy phones yearly. Got a 13 mini and a Pixel 7. Grown up adults that are fiscally conservative keep phones for the long haul. Samsung, iPhone, and Pixel are all excellent and should last for many years if the owner is a responsible owner. It's only a personal preference.

The IP68 rating comes from a batch of phones the seller probably already has a clue will pass, before they sent them in for certification. It does not tell the story of what kind of QA/QC operations the manufacturer has, nor how those score compared to the competitor.
