Not a pixel owner but i used to have a nexus 5, with the selling argument being better software updates, thighter OS integration and less bloatware.

But Apple does all of this a lot better, so I switched to iPhone. Might be different these days though.

    Apple's got tighter integration, but also a much more closed ecosystem. I also can't read the source code for an iPhone's OS.

    Something was just seamless for me with P1 and I was hooked. Dove into full google ecosystem due to the Pixel.

    Not trying to simp for Google, but their shit Just Works™ on any OS I run ... except FreeRTOS, I guess, but that's kinda out of scope. I can even integrate cleanly with the few Apple products I have without being fully beholden to a different A.

    I was very unimpressed with the mess that was Android when I first encountered it (2009?) but the framework really seemed to start to gel around Jelly Bean.
