Just trying to get some conversation here in this community and also genuinely interested on your opinions!
Not a pixel owner but i used to have a nexus 5, with the selling argument being better software updates, thighter OS integration and less bloatware.
But Apple does all of this a lot better, so I switched to iPhone. Might be different these days though.
Apple’s got tighter integration, but also a much more closed ecosystem. I also can’t read the source code for an iPhone’s OS.
Something was just seamless for me with P1 and I was hooked. Dove into full google ecosystem due to the Pixel.
Not trying to simp for Google, but their shit Just Works™ on any OS I run … except FreeRTOS, I guess, but that’s kinda out of scope. I can even integrate cleanly with the few Apple products I have without being fully beholden to a different A.
I was very unimpressed with the mess that was Android when I first encountered it (2009?) but the framework really seemed to start to gel around Jelly Bean.
