    This sounds like something that hasn’t been true for 5-10 years tbh. At least not within the Pixel family. I upgrade phones without a single hiccup. My older phones are still around and used daily by my kids with no problema. I’ve had to wipe a phone and restore from the cloud backup and it was a matter of minutes to be usable, and was effectively like nothing had happened as soon as my apps and their data finished downloading.

      I setup both for work. On this front there is hardly any difference. For the average user, it now comes down to OS and device preference. I manage my family’s apple and google accounts and neither was much harder than the other. Now, for work, preparing an iPhone is much, much more complicated than an Android device. This, once again, only matters if you don’t have automated enrollment from your business carrier into your MDM.

      (I ended up wiped/deleted this comment, but it’s original contents stated that I had upgraded my drawer-android-phone to a S23 last year from another 3-4 year old Samsung device, and that I wasn’t sure what to say here. I deleted the comment because, I don’t have the energy to debate)

        I don’t deny it might feel foreign to someone using iOS daily for decades. But that’s not the statement. The statement was that iOS does things like upgrades, backup restoration, and value retention better, which just isn’t true anymore.

        I use both, actually, because Android tablets in my experience have been pretty disappointing, so I’m pretty familiar with both ecosystems.

          As I said, I’m not sure what to say. I’ve done both cases, a transfer and restoration, and had issues with both where some app data didn’t copy over. Maybe I should prioritize getting a Pixel device as my next Android fiddle-phone.

          Contacts, photos, settings were mostly fine (though I did not do an exhaustive audit, but I’ll give it credit here).
