@CPaulCourtney6 months ago I can accept that the consensus is that the iphone takes better video, but i take 50 photos for every 1 video recorded. Everytime i show my pixel photos if you factor in the overall software features, the price difference, and the fact that the google ecosystem isn' t bad either, then i have to go with the pixel 8 pro. ...Expand 5

@hoppysport28726 months ago A superlative review, production and presentation. I would go with either the iphone 15 plus or iphone 15 pro max. I' ve been on android for years, my 2020 lg v60 is still going strong and when needed, i' ll have a battery installed. I really appreciate the 3. 5mm jack, 32-bit hi-fi quaddac (which sounds so much better than anything bluetooth) and expandable storage. Last black friday i picked up a sandisk 1tb microsd card for $97. 00. ...Expand 3

@ericschwartz1006 months ago I will say that ive been a long time google pixel user, with only my first iphone 13 pro max for well over a year and a half now. The battery life is a i keep on asking myself if theres anything i honestly miss my old google pixel phones not as much as i thought it would be. I realize that google still doesnt understand dark mode to save their life even on ios apps versus dark grey mode. But i can say i dont missed my pixels too much from my pixels. When i had my google pixels, android auto was horrible for me. Carplay is fantastic. Ive never actually had an issue using siri and i tweaked optimize everything on my 13 pro max for how are use it.
i sometimes get the itch to try to customize my app icons similar to android icon pack and see, but a ios takes way too long to make it out of the shortcuts app, and its just not worth it to me. It was never a dealbreaker to me anyways. ...Expand 6

@qt476 months ago Comparison reviews are a dime a dozen. I would like to see a device' s analysis, evaluation. What are the strong areas of the phone, and what areas need to be addressed and made better. 2

@joelface6 months ago I' m interested to see what apple' s " spatial videos" will entail, because as someone very interested in vr, takingvideos really appeals to me. I hope it' s not just a standard 3d video, but includes at least something that makes it unique. Excited to learn more. ...Expand 1

@SpiderRrider6 months ago Pixel 8 pro because apart from everything you just said, it is the aspect ratio of the display and the hand feel. Apple doesn' t understand ergonomics very well. 2

@Number_0066 months ago Apple' s dedication to privacy and their seamless eco-system makes me stick with apple. Their products are premium in every way and while the costs can be higher, i would argue that you also get more for the $ 2

@zaryl2k6 months ago I am still holding on because of the green screen/green line issues. As long as apple uses the inferior samsung screen panels for the pro variants, the heres hoping apple would manufacture their own screen panels for future iphone 16, 17 or beyond, especially for the pro variants that uses 120hz promotion refresh rate. ...Expand

@superiortoall226 months ago 15 pro max for the win here, the battery is a big factor. Being able to go to work, then to the gym, and still have enough battery to go out all night as for software updates, ill see it when i believe it with google. Its much harder to implement than just promise. Probably a great selling point but 7 years down the road when they have to work on security and os patches for an older phone model that little people will probably be using and its not making them money, well see how committed they are. ...Expand 8
