Last year I swapped to a iPhone 14 Pro purely because I have a work MBP + an iPad for a few other apps I needed to use. The ecosystem is pretty good but still love the Pixel range. Also went through the whole range - Nexus 5 (I loved the small form factor!) > Nexus 5X > Pixel 3 > Pixel 4a > Pixel 6. Loved them and no doubt I'll be back eventually 😂

I went to OnePlus for a while, then the one Samsung, then to the Pixel. The Samsung was a fantastic specced phone but man was the samsung stuff annoying. A "Bixby" voice assistant button that you can't disable or assign to another function (luckily you could change bixby to a double tap and use single tap for something else). All these AR apps you can't uninstall, a Samsung Store, a required samsung account as well as google account. Regular notifications saying you need to accept the new Samsung terms and conditions.

Having the Pixel with GrapheneOS has it's quirks and definitely isn't for everyone, but it's been refreshing having a phone that needs zero accounts to work.
