pixel 4 or the iphone 11

Stupid question, but the new XR is unlocked correct and you have installed the Fi app while on wifi? I thought I remember hearing that the Fi app may be required to get things fully working.

Back to the main topic: I give props to those Android fans that can go to/back to IOS. It seems like every other year I see it and think maybe I could switch to IOS since iMessage in the US works so well and the Apple Watch is still the best wearable (IMO), but every time I use my wife's Xs I want to throw it through the wall. I look at that phone and love the build quality, screen quality, and CPU in there, but man using that OS just infuriates me. I find the keyboard horrible and amazingly enough the lack of uniformity in how apps handle the back function super annoying. Apples quality control on IOS has been lacking as well. My wife is constantly complaining of weird app issues and call problems (although that's likely an AT&T "feature" lol).

Hopefully you can get Fi working properly and enjoy your new device.

This is the current issue, getting the Google Fi app to the iPhone.
It is in the App Store, you have to enter a CC to get to the App Store, it will not allow me to enter "State" under billing info.
Have progressed to "We've run into a problem, please try again later"

As of this moment, my assessment of the iPhone XR is that it is a PITA

It won't let mt fill out the "state" part of the billing form so I can get into the App Store to get the Google Fi app. It also has a different cable for charging than the Android phones.

Oh I thought you were talking about the OS compared to Android.

Getting the Fi app is needed. Maybe our friends at imore.com can help with the app store billing info entry...

No I won't - iPhone is going back in the box and back to the store. Learned my lesson on getting phone that are not made for Google Fi.

Just got an iPhone XR, so now I have both. If I can ever get the XR to connect to Google Fi, I let you know how I like it.
Google Fi, like most other things, has +s and -s

Blasphemy
