Switched from the iphone midrange -- Iphone 14 plus -- to the android midrange -- Google's pixel 7a -- and it's not even close. Pixel 7a beats the iphone in almost everything.
Starting with price: $500 vs $800 for $300 less you get MORE phone.
The screen is very beautiful vivid and responsive w 90 hz refresh rate vs 60 for the iphone.
The Tensor G2 just breezes through almost every task I've thrown at it. The A15 (?) on the iphone regularly stutters and lags.

On that note I feel like doing nothing productive today. Just turn on the Xbox and play Deep Rock Galactic all day.

Rock and stone!

Why does it feel so liberating when I drop off the 5 yo and 2 yo in the morning lol?

I wake up and I’m like fkkk gotta get these two ready, feed them, make their hair.

Then I drop them off to preschool and I’m like hell yeah, it’s a new day!!

Apple took a return that was slightly past the return date. Super happy about that!
