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)

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.

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.
