Hi, this is the last week before I will return my Pixel 7 Pro for a refund, after owning it for a year. My replacement is the 15 Pro Max, and I thought I’d post here in case anyone has any questions regarding these two devices.
I know it’s not best comparison as the Pixel 8 Pro is out, but in any case…

I can take pictures, run benchmarks, answer other questions etc.

    This is such a consumerism comment. You are buying a closed garden ecosystem and encouraging lack of choice from a terrible company. Maybe you don’t value actual freedom with your devices, but if you have even the slightest curiosity with how your phone is operating then you’d realize iPhones are designed for the lowest common denominator and to be used one way. It discourages any other competing brands from using its software. It heavily nerfs anything that isn’t an Apple product. It’s all closed source and proprietary. It’s anti consumer. There’s more to phones then opening up the app store, installing app, and opening app from home screen.

      True. But to be fair, Android as it normally comes is shit too. 90% open source still leaves room for Googles Tracking.

      For me the features I need aren’t part of aosp. So I’m using closed source now anyways. Sure it’s running on an open source platform, but it seems Google wants Android to be like Apple. Then I might just as well use Apples products as their ecosystem is a lot more refined.

          You do know that Googles apps are all closed source right? Have you ever even tried any aosp rom? Go and have a look. There’s not much there.
