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)

    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.
