If you got a smartphone, regardless of brand or operating system then big brother has you, end of story. Considering this I made the call to start using all the various location features and all that anti-privacy stuff. Once you get the taste of boot out of your mouth some of it pretty helpful actually.

Carlos Danger Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I just got a Pixel3 xl for half price on black Friday. I see the Pixel as a bridge between the iPhone world and Android. iPhone has a bunch of little software items which are great but there are starting to be just as many useful items on the Pixel. Google maps, Google translate and Google assistant are all equal or better than their Apple counterparts. I would say that having swapped phones a few times that the Pixel did the most complete job of transferring my last phones content to the new phone. I would not be in a hurry to buy a Samsung as they really seem to have just a bunch of crap on them that is just not required or even useful over time.

Mileage Psycho Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Thank you to everyone for posting your opinions and thoughts, and the consensus is that I should stick with an iPhone, so now the decision is down to an XR or XS.

I’ve got the x with the OLED display. Quite honestly it’s only marginally better than the LED display of the XR. The XR doesn’t have the press feature on the screen. I rarely use it.

I saw you Google Pixl post right after I posted sticking with iPhone, I have a Chromebook so I'm familiar with Google. I'm going to use Sprint to beat down Verizon which I use for a carrier because of the coverage have up north, my company is all Sprint and they just got upgraded to XS and XR phones all for $50.00 per phone line unlimited everything.

That is a big thing for me as Google Chrome gives you a pretty good cross platform access to just about everything. The Pixel comes with unlimited Google drive storage so your phone pics and documents backup automatically which is pretty handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the phones battery deteriorate over time and performance is ugly in cold weather. There just isn't a silver bullet system. If you are a moderate or power user you will need to plug in your phone every evening, if not a mid-day charge. Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only ever owned Android phones but I bought an iPhone XR a couple months ago. It is much less buggy than the Android devices I have had but I find myself shaking my head every time I have to look thru the menu because IMO the way Apple organizes things is just bizarre. Doesn’t matter though if you’re used to it. Also, I don’t know what it is but sometimes the touch doesn’t work worth a shit. I’ve had times where I can repeatedly click on something within the browser and it doesn’t work. Never experienced that with an Android, ever. It’s not locking up, it’s just not even registering the click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No two websites now have the same password but it’s simple to copy the password and login. LastPass will even put it in automatically when it can. Its the only place I store my passwords now.
