I have flipped back and forth between iOS and Android since the OG iPhone and T-Mobile G1 were first released. I like iOS because its fast, stable, and just works. They are costly though, I think my daughter paid close to $1,200 for her 13PM (before the 14 released). With a older Pixel trade in and a $100.00 store credit I had been holding, I think I paid about $70.00 out of pocket for my Pixel 7.

Currently using a Pixel 7 as my primary device and occasionally switch to my iPhone 13 mini. I would have to say that lately I have been using Android a lot more due to esim (just extra steps and time to spontaneously switch back and forth). My daughters 13PM is the first phone that has given me "camera envy". However, I personally do not like the size of the "max" versions since I wear suits quite a bit (a smaller phone just sits better in dress pants pockets).

I feel like both OS's have evolved to a point where many of the features are starting to merge into one another. and they are both improving at about the same rate. I was just slightly disappointed that they did away with the mini version for the 14 lineup...but I guess I stand in the minority of wanting a smaller device these days. I would be all about a Pro Mini.

I agree about the 13PM being a bit big for pockets. I use an OtterBox Defender that comes with a belt clip. The camera system is phenomenal on the pros. I use to have the 11 with the dual camera system. But ended up stuck with the SE 2 for about 13 months. When I switched carriers in 2021 to Verizon as my 11 was still carrier locked. I went from my 5S to a 6s Plus to the 11 then the SE 2 and finally the 13PM. A Pro Mini would sell like hot cakes in my honest opinion. The only thing stopping them in my opinion is how big the camera bump would be.
