These were the devices I was trying to choose between this year and you summed up the reasoning for going iPhone perfectly. My main reasons to go iPhone were:

  • Reliability and software experience
  • Reliable, long-lasting battery life
  • Better display and brightness
  • Reliable camera in both pictures and video
  • Apple Watch >>>>>> any Android watch

Overall, it's just a way more reliable and established experience and I know that the Pixel 7 Pro would've had better pictures but the ultrawide camera and videos on the iPhone are much better than the Pixel's.

I'll see how the Pixel 8 improves but I feel like Google's locked in to the Pixel 6/7/8 series and don't expect changes until at least the 9.

Right when I got into custom mechanical keyboards, I knew I wanted an Iron165. Then, I saw the GB for GMK Norse and thought to myself that it was the perfect combination. Now that Norse has finally come in, I was able to build this beauty and it is everything I could've wanted when the idea first formed in my head.

Board: Iron 165 R2 Graphite

Switches: Gateron Ink V2 Black, lubed

Keycaps: GMK Norse + RAMA Artisan + Novelties

Stabilizers: Staebies V2

1b) No

  1. Nothing substantial, it's a pretty seamless process

  2. Yes

  3. Warranty replaces the battery if it goes below 80% in the first year and AppleCare can replace it at any time for a cost. Pricing is available here: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/iphone/repair/battery-replacement
