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 use gOS and my solution for Pay is a Visa in my phone case… As to AirTags there are solutions for finding things locally but nothing with the reach of AirTags if you left something somewhere else due to apple installing it on all their phones. I find analogue solutions will do personally. Find my phone still works. iCloud and photos I replaced with a homeserver with Immich, also pihole there to sort ads, but you can get most of the way there with proton if that’s intimidating.
