I switched from a Pixel 6 Pro to a 14 Pro Max after using Android phones for the last 7 years. The 14PM is an excellent device, and I had a great experience overall, but there were just too many things that I missed from Android that affected my day-to-day usage, and I had a hard time trying to get used to those things. So I ended up deciding to switch back. I ordered a Pixel 7 Pro and it was just delivered to my house today. As far as specific things that I missed from Android, there were a lot, but a few bigger ones are:
- Pixel-specfic features (call screening, now playing, swipe for Google Assistant, etc.)
- Swipe back gesture from any screen
- The way notifications overall are handled
- Being able to double tap to lock screen (I know you can double tap the back on iPhone)
- Having an app drawer (not limited like iOS)
- All of the usual Android customizations (arranging icons, custom launchers, installing 3rd party apps, etc.)
Here me again though, iPhone 14 is an excellent phone! Easily in the top 2-3 phones available right now. I could rattle off a bunch of things about the phone that are amazing which I will miss switching back. But, I've just come to realize that Androids (and specifically Pixel phones) are definitely what work best for me and my lifestyle.

Nice! How are you liking the P7P so far?
You’re absolutely right. iPhone does have an app drawer. It’s just so basic and limited that I never considered it a true app drawer and never used it, but you’re right they do have it there.
