I’m looking to buy an iPhone 15 when it comes out. For those that also have a Pixel, what are some things that each phone does completely better than the other?

I was thinking of using the iPhone as a phone first, and having the Pixel as just a Personal Smart Device that I can use to do sideloading, emulation, file organizing, and other productivity and entertainment stuff, maybe even social media like having Mastadon and Lemmy there, maybe Signal too.

Whereas I’ll have the iPhone for calling, texting, streaming, CarPlay, News, and Apple Watch stuff.

What are some other things I can segment?

(There’s a lot of content and apps available on both, but I’m wanting to know if there’s anything that’s visibly or marginally better on either device that you’ve noticed)

    Other than for use with your apple watch, I don’t understand why you would want twa carry around an iPhone in addition to an Android phone. Why do you prefer to use the iPhone for texting, streaming, news or CarPlay (instead of Android auto)?

      You don’t get Android auto on GrapheneOS, although there was a Github page where it showed you how to build GrapheneOS with MicroG of install MicroG while ur installing GrapheneOS to make it compatible with Android Auto? It is more technical

      Outside of the popular streaming apps, I’ve found streaming apps to be a lot better and less buggy on Apple devices.

      Waze has some of its functionality taken away on Android Auto.

      And since I’ll be uninstalling the phone app on my Pixel, I was going to use the Phone and Messages app for regular texting, that’s a preferential thing. I’d use Signal but it doesn’t do SMS anymore.
