The only issue I’ve had is increased battery drain, but that has subsided recently.

I’d settle for an Android-like notification system, and call screening.

Wasn’t there a “fix” pushed out? If not, I read somewhere that Pixel users can mitigate the issue with an out of the box device by resetting network settings/Bluetooth/wireless connections. In any event, even if I got one I’d hardly notice because I’m on wifi 99% of the time.

Apple savings’ APY has fallen a bit below other high yield savings options btw. Capital One, for example.

I tend to flip flop between iOS and Android but am currently deeply entrenched within Apple’s walled garden.

Ironically, I work in the Google space as an engineer, use all their services for both work and personal. But, I have an iPhone. I fall into the “my family and friends all have iPhones, and it was just easier to assimilate for communication and collaboration purposes” camp. It just is. My family, some nearby, some long distance, all use FaceTime. It’s important to me that far away relatives get some video time with my son. Yes, I’m fully aware that there are a million video services/apps and I’ve sung that tune many times but it always falls on deaf ears. FaceTime is just easier, and there’s really not much else to it. I can control my son’s iPad from my phone, and give him more screen time/turn it into a brick at will. So simple. i-products work so effortlessly with one another, for me and my life situation currently, it just makes sense.

To be honest, I really miss the Pixel line and the new 8 Pro is calling my name. I’m in too deep this time around, though. Phone, watch, airpods, Apple TV (hardware), Macbook Air, Airtags… I told myself if I’m going to be in the walled garden, I might as well enjoy the fruits. So, I’ll continue to use a bunch of Google apps and services on my i-product, and long for a Pixel in silence.
