Any iPhone users going to pixel ?

[RionDunn]

Yep. I've alternated between iOS and android for years. Always something I miss from the other when I jump. Hoping the Pixel won't disappoint.

I'm the same. I have an iPhone 7 plus and now have a Pixel. I'm still torn between the two.

I get that, especially as so many of my friends and family are iOS users, they all use imessage which is a great app. Pixel is great so far though and it does appear better call signal too.

Well I was going to buy a huge cluster**** with Verizon has prevented me from doing so. I much prefer the fluidity of iOS compared to Android as the android devices I have had always had a slight "lag" to them. I was looking forward to the Pixel XL on the payment plan with Verizon but I refuse to pay $869 plus taxes outright to buy it. I also refuse to open another line just to have it because I would then have 2 phones on the Verizon payment plan.

I think Google did well with the design and I am anxious to see more reviews on the software and hardware quality.

NOTE: I have the Matte Black 128 GB iPhone 7+

I always wonder why some iphone users say they can find slight lag in android devices...there are many areas in iOS 10 where there are slight lags...nougat on both the pixel phones and lg v20 are smoother than ios 10 imo based on actual experience with the latest devices....

How do you feel they compare directly

The iPhone 7 plus is still the boss when it comes to standby battery time, but the Pixel xl isn't far away. I charged them both last night to 100% and let them sit. When I woke up this morning the iPhone was still on 100% and the Pixel xl was at 96%

The iPhone had no sim in it, so I don't know if that made a difference.

isn't that because iphone has a slower notification?
once just a curious testing sending whatsapp message to iphone and android, and iphone is so slow, like its not real time

That and the iPhone just shuts some stuff down completely. Another poster told me about this in another thread and I didn't totally agree with him, he, was right.

I have IP7 and whatsapp. Texts to my wifes IP6S is instant. With my 5X to her IP there is a delay, just like her sending me a text to my 5X.

I do have a iPhone 7 but just received the pixel yesterday. So far I'm enjoying the battery life and screen resolution but not the size of the phone even though it's smaller than the 7plus.

Going on a business trip next week, will see how the pixel fare before deciding which to keep

my conclusion at that time was perhaps iphone has some interval in checking message/notification, but sorry to say that we're not testing thoroughly so maybe we need experts here

I, like many of you have been back and fourth between Android and iOS. Just about every other iteration I switch. I have been using a 6S Plus for the last year and as always it has been great. But I have been waiting for the Pixel ever since the rumors surfaced. I have had the Pixel XL for 3 days now and I really really like it. I'm still waiting a few more days before I finalize my decision to keep it or go back to my iPhone.

To be honest I do miss iMessage. My entire family, workplace and most of my friends are iPhone users. I get the evil eye when they get the green SMS message from me instead of the familiar blue bubble. But I don't really care about that as much. My last 2 Android phones started to lag after 6 months of use and I am hoping that will not be the case with the Pixel. But right now I am 50/50 on staying.

Waoh ..realy??! But it should get to 99% right? Because iphone also have background tasks..!

Thought I was the only one. I have an iPad pro with 4g lte and the notifications I receive are always a tad bit slower on my iPad than my phone every time.
