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.
