I’m looking to buy an iPhone 15 when it comes out. For those that also have a Pixel, what are some things that each phone does completely better than the other?

I was thinking of using the iPhone as a phone first, and having the Pixel as just a Personal Smart Device that I can use to do sideloading, emulation, file organizing, and other productivity and entertainment stuff, maybe even social media like having Mastadon and Lemmy there, maybe Signal too.

Whereas I’ll have the iPhone for calling, texting, streaming, CarPlay, News, and Apple Watch stuff.

What are some other things I can segment?

(There’s a lot of content and apps available on both, but I’m wanting to know if there’s anything that’s visibly or marginally better on either device that you’ve noticed)

    I never understood the all or nothing approach. I use grapheneOS as my daily drive for work, and have multiple profiles for each of my needs. That’s probably all you need, however I do have an iPhone (lots of !y family do imessage and we are sadly in the ecosystem I use apple music for example. I like also some apps more on iOS. Especially for mastodon, but even for Lemmy apple has some great apps. Again I don’t think you need two devices, especially when you use profiles. But I do see why iOS is attractive and used alongside. IPads is another big use, no android tablet comes close.
