Somewhat off topic, but how was the switch to android? and how locked into the apple ecosystem are you?

I’ve been considering switching back to android after about 5 years but I have a macbook, airpods, and apple music.

It's honestly been fine! The last Android's I had were the S8+ and OnePlus 5 and it's come a very long way since then. Unlike you, I'm not entrenched in the Apple ecosystem. The only thing I had was an AW, which was up until some point last year, and it was only a Series 1 lmao. You're not switching, I hate to be harsh/brunt, but you're just not.

While I like the Pixel, it's just not ready for primetime, IMO. And that's mostly because the Tensor chip just isn't energy efficient enough. Sure, I knew going from the 13PM to a regular Pixel 7 was going to be a huge downgrade in the battery life department, but it's worse than I thought it was going to be. Rumors say the new the Tensor G3 will be a big step forward, but I don't think it'll be enough.

So with the leaks/rumors of the 15 PM/Ultra looking very good, I'm likely jumping back to the iPhone in the fall. And that's mainly because I don't take a lot of pictures. So while I think the iPhone is pathetic in the camera department, it's very low on my list of requirements

I agree with you, I’m most likely not gonna switch lol. I think I just want something new and exciting, but apple does such a good job at sucking in their consumers.

If I were to switch it’d probably be the Galaxy S23. Everything I’ve seen/ read pretty much agrees with you in that the tensor chips still need some work.
