Recently got a pixel as a secondary work phone and was reminded that I actually kinda like android (my main is an iPhone). Problem is mostly that I don’t want an even higher level spyware device. Of course I could use graphene but I use Apple Pay, find my / AirTags regularly and I also would need to find good alternatives to iCloud, and photos which I honestly kind of like. I suppose I could possibly get a pixel watch and get around the pay limitations but maybe some users who have switches might have some general insight.
Edit: I guess my best option right now is to stick with my current plan of both devices and maybe see what oem graphene partners with and if that somehow changes anything
I don’t see a question in there. What are you asking?
I guess I’m asking for thoughts on a solution. My options are basically A) Keep iPhone as main, use stock pixel 9 as work no changes. B) Use graphene + watch and somehow try to hack a way into Intune setup properly, lose a little bit of functionality. Probably would return pixel and trade in iPhone for pixel 10 and wait for graphene, since I value the MagSafe. C) Get a different iPhone as a second for or upgrade current phone to use current as old phone. Probably most expensive option if the latter. D) not care at all about having my personal device slightly managed and just put Intune on it.
One option to reduce amount of devices you carry is I think an Apple watch, which can work offline after setting up with Apple pay. So you’d keep your iPhone at home and just leave home with Android and an Apple watch for paying with.
