In the context of laptops, I would agree (MBP's hardware just outclasses everything else, even if I prefer Fedora over macOS).
However, for phones, this just doesn't shake out. The Pixel 10 Pro for instance, has:
* A battery that outlasts the iPhone 16 Pro by an hour
* A slightly better display (higher brightness for outdoor use, higher PPI, higher color accuracy, same refresh rate)
* A better camera for still photography, especially HDR and low-light (although admittedly worse for video)
Admittedly the hardware of the pixel 10 pro is very nice, but it still runs android which is the main issue for me. Also I love magsafe
How's the OS security of the Pixel 10 Pro?
I think "Airpods" and "iCloud" for Photo Storage are the only parts of the Apple ecosystem I use, so those will be missed.
Why are you comparing the latest Google flagship phone with a previous generation iPhone? The iPhone 17 is better than a Pixel 10 on most if not all fronts.
I loved my Pixel 10 Pro until it broke just a week after purchase (screen went unresponsive all of a sudden and I needed to learn to factory reset it).
Pixel Android doesn’t support disabling the control center when locked in lock screen, and widgets are also available.
I saw all of that reported just recently too, so obviously not a single issue. The screen issues are known across several Pixel generations. The screen lock since 2013.
I don’t know whether I’m going to touch anything Pixel in the next couple of years, it’s not mature enough yet.
