For the first time since I picked up a Pixel in 2018, I don’t plan on buying any of Google’s latest (i.e. the Pixel 7a) or upcoming (the Pixel Fold or Pixel 8) releases. After a rocky ride with the last few Pixel phones, I’ve upgraded my personal phone plan with one of the best iPhones rather than any of the cheaper Pixels – the iPhone 14 Plus specifically – and don’t intend on going back.
In short, despite the Pixel line initially showing promise, Google’s last few phones have delivered such a compromised, painful user experience that I would simply not commit myself to them again. With Apple’s iPhones and iOS getting better and better, it’s now harder than ever to see a reason to buy a Pixel.
