Think a big hurdle is getting the hardware team started on something that can replace Qualcomm. Software you can assemble a team pretty quickly and put stuff together but hardware is inherently a more complex procedure.
Yeah, really hurt the brand image with people blaming Google when they've done basically all they can to take updates out of the manufacturers hands outside of their own CPUs now.
seems like it runs alright, not great though. brutal on the battery
Blah, completely forgot about this. And I want that triple camera setup. Hopefully it's not that much bigger than the Pixel 5.
They're not doing a Pixel 2-size one? That's what I currently have and I feel like it's the perfect size. I was going to upgrade to 6 but now I don't think I will.
Give it a shot, I gave iOS a year long experiment after being on android for a long time though, and I finally switched back last month. It was such an awful experience, especially given the hype people give Apple. Hardware is nice but that software... it's just not for me.
Apple maps would take me on incredibly strange routes, and was bugged out completely, she would alert me to take a turn after I had already driven past it; leading me to spend even more time driving. Using the non apple versions of apps, like spotify, google maps, gmail, firefox, etc just felt wrong; like they were being held back by something arbitrary. Apple pay would not connect to my bank, I called the bank and they said it was on apples end and that apple was sending the wrong zip code. Called apple and they said it was on the banks end... got routed to some upper management person and told that someone on the dev team? would reach out, which never happened. Just a lot of things like that, the "consistency" angle is often touted but in reality it doesn't seem to be true.
This current spec rumor suggest screen sizes of 6.4 inches for the base model and 6.71 for the Pro. The screen on the base Pixel 6 is larger than the screen of the Pixel 4XL.
It's not necessarily an issue limited to Pixel phones, but rather the majority of Android phones with the source of the issue typically being attributed to Qualcomm (makers of the phone's chipset) - when Qualcomm ends support for a product, it causes issues with keeping that platform up to date (or so I've read).
Ooof at those dimensions. Maybe I can wait it out. It really depends on how good Google's chip is. Even my Pixel 5 feels big at times.
You cant set it as the default, so when you plug into car play or whatever apple maps will come up. If you click on a link, apple maps will come up. Apple maps is just so finnicky, I have an EV so I use this app called plugshare which shows you all the different chargers around on a map. I clicked on one, clicked on the map link to open in apple maps and it sent me into this web view which opened 99 tabs in a second and crashed my phone... it was nuts.
