I used Samsung phones for like 10 years and got a 14 pro max and thought the camera will be good since it’s an iPhone and everyone usually says the cameras are pretty decent. I’ve been very disappointed with how a lot of the photos come out.

It's honestly embarrassing. I've never been satisfied with the photos my iPhone takes. And my Pops' 14 PM isn't a whole lot better. I got a Pixel 7 in December and it's made the pictures my iPhone takes look even worse

Somewhat off topic, but how was the switch to android? and how locked into the apple ecosystem are you?

I’ve been considering switching back to android after about 5 years but I have a macbook, airpods, and apple music.

It's honestly been fine! The last Android's I had were the S8+ and OnePlus 5 and it's come a very long way since then. Unlike you, I'm not entrenched in the Apple ecosystem. The only thing I had was an AW, which was up until some point last year, and it was only a Series 1 lmao. You're not switching, I hate to be harsh/brunt, but you're just not.

While I like the Pixel, it's just not ready for primetime, IMO. And that's mostly because the Tensor chip just isn't energy efficient enough. Sure, I knew going from the 13PM to a regular Pixel 7 was going to be a huge downgrade in the battery life department, but it's worse than I thought it was going to be. Rumors say the new the Tensor G3 will be a big step forward, but I don't think it'll be enough.

So with the leaks/rumors of the 15 PM/Ultra looking very good, I'm likely jumping back to the iPhone in the fall. And that's mainly because I don't take a lot of pictures. So while I think the iPhone is pathetic in the camera department, it's very low on my list of requirements

I agree with you, I’m most likely not gonna switch lol. I think I just want something new and exciting, but apple does such a good job at sucking in their consumers.

If I were to switch it’d probably be the Galaxy S23. Everything I’ve seen/ read pretty much agrees with you in that the tensor chips still need some work.
