Recently got a pixel as a secondary work phone and was reminded that I actually kinda like android (my main is an iPhone). Problem is mostly that I don’t want an even higher level spyware device. Of course I could use graphene but I use Apple Pay, find my / AirTags regularly and I also would need to find good alternatives to iCloud, and photos which I honestly kind of like. I suppose I could possibly get a pixel watch and get around the pay limitations but maybe some users who have switches might have some general insight.

Edit: I guess my best option right now is to stick with my current plan of both devices and maybe see what oem graphene partners with and if that somehow changes anything

    I use iPhone and I also tried a Pixel with Graphene OS.

    Like the above commenter said it’s a trade off with convenience and for me it was too hard to do. Nothing wrong with the OS per se, but I just prefer the convenience of iPhone.

    Another point is I’m a middle age software developer so not adverse to learning new things but I’ve got to the point that I want it easier. If I’m doing something I shouldn’t be doing then I’d have a device specific for that.
