From Android, to iPhone, Back to Android, Then Back to iPhone

This isn't necessarily a Pixel vs iPhone debate...it's more of a personal and pragmatic examination of how the Android and iOS operating systems feel and fit. In this ep I detail my journey from being an Android guy, specifically a Google Pixel fan boy, to switching to an iPhone, to switching back to a Pixel, to switching BACK to the iPhone. I use the notes that I took after I went back to the Pixel and before I switched back to the iPhone to help explain my reasoning and thought processes. The phones primarily mentioned: - 🍎 iPhone 13 mini - 🤖 Google Pixel 9 ProWatch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzXVvv7QlPa7rFLI3COsE4MXcgr5hTpbm&si=q9lWIOpjBcVNY-SB Apple Podcasts: https://rb.gy/2yffl0Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandancraftBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/brandancraft.bsky.social https://www.brandancraft.comStraight from class to the cast, Brandan Craft, a visual communication design professor continues his thoughts, instruction, stories, and TANGENTS regarding topics relating to art, design, and tech.All music, design, and editing: @BrandanCraft TANGENTS:14:29 🤖 Android Auto starts up more consistently and uniformly than Apple CarPlay 15:40 🤖 Apple doesn't make it easy to transfer to Android 17:28 🍎 iPhone has a more consistent User eXperience inside and outside of the OS 18:42 🍎 The ability to access the entire phone with one hand (thumb) on the iPhone Mini is a big deal to me 19:33 🍎 Cross platform apps seem to have a better UX on iPhone 22:21 🤖 Homepage customizability is better on the Pixel 24:01 🍎 AIRPLAY!!!!!! 26:37 🤖 Having facial recognition AND a fingerprint sensor AND pattern to wake on Pixel is a BIG deal 28:27 🤖 The Pixel filters out spam messages almost 100% of the time, and most calls, but the calls that slip through get the AI lady who's dope 30:21 🤖 AI features seem more mature on the Pixel 31:10 🤖 I've always preferred the more deliberate "feel" of the Pixel camera interface 32:22 🤖 The Pixel has a proper Google Search widget built into the nav bar while the iPhone search "button" seems to search everything BUT Google...wack.
