Hello there,

My iPhone XR, that was given to me by my ex needs an upgrade. I love trying new things and like the idea of switching to Pixel. Also, the phone comes with ear buds as part of the deal which I could use at the moment. However, I also use Mac, Apple Watch and AirTags so the ecosystem got me locked in, which I hate but it does indeed make life easier. I use phone just for fun, reading news, listening to music, phone calls, messaging, playing chess, social media, some internet banking and investing. All work I do on my Mac and Mirrorless camera.

Apple makes great, reliable products but I do find iPhones a bit boring after decades of using them plus the price which is justified I suppose. I’m self-made with no family and had to safe every penny my whole life to progress but don’t mind spending on things that last and work well. I work as a digital designer so all tech innovations are great to observe/experience for me.

All in all.. I’m a bit excited about a change but hesitant, wondering if I’m just making my life more complicated out of boredom.

Has someone been in a similar spot, switched from an iPhone to Pixel and what would be your feedback? Thank you for any insights :)
