I have to agree with this statement. iPhone and iOS have their issues but the sum of the parts in total provides a very good user experience. Things just work. I went full time to an iPhone with the 12 Pro Max and continue to use it this year as I did not see anything in the 13 series that...

Not sure if it is a hot deal or not but got a $40 off coupon that I will not use for a pair of OnePus Buds Pro. I don’t believe it’s tied to my account as there is a code to use.

I’m not going to buy them but if someone was, here is a $30 off coupon that should lower the price. I don’t believe it is tied to my account but I have no idea with OnePlus anymore.

I have a Nomad leather skin on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Best option I have found for a large phone. It is real Horween leather and provides the feel and grip you get from leather but it’s very thin and adds almost no weight. Unfortunately Nomad does not have a Pixel 6 option...

I can only go by what my son tells me and the Pixel 6 is major upgrade over my old OnePlus 5 that he took over from me. He does not like to change much and I talked him into the Pixel 6 and he absolutely loves it. Battery life, camera and speed are the 3 areas where even he said he could not...

Anyone able to get a price adjustment if you bought from Best Buy? My son purchased his on 10/30/21 so outside of the normal 14 day window.

So it begins…. Android phone makers can’t help themselves in pissing off the hardcore, early adopter fans who pre-order only to see prices drop shortly after. Have to wait and see if BF brings other savings.

iPhone 12 Pro Max on iOS 15 is basically flawless for me. My sons Pixel 6 fingerprint scanner has been good for him as he said it is slow sometimes but has not had an issue with it recognizing his finger/thumb. He does not use a screen protector so I wonder if all the concern may be tied...

What do you use iTunes for? The only thing I use it for is encrypted backups so I can transfer the image with passwords and data over to a new iPhone.

Pixel 6 teardown shows lots of heat dissipation, questionable mmWave layout https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/11/pixel-6-teardown-shows-lots-of-heat-dissipation-questionable-mmwave-layout/?amp=1

If you don’t mind the 12 PM size I highly doubt you will dislike the size of the 6 Pro. What you will notice is that it is conderably lighter in hand. The Pixel 6 Pro is about 20g lighter at 210g while the 12 PM weighs in at 228g. Pixel 6P is also 2 mm less in width, 3 mm taller and almost 2...

Looks like many BB have the regular Pixel 6 but none in SE Michigan have the Pro (unless you get a carrier version)

Can my son just move his AT&T SIM over from his OnePlus 5 to his new Pixel 6 today when he picks it up? NVM… he stopped by the house today to show off his Pixel 6 and he is getting LTE just fine and does not care about 5G as he is on Wi-Fi the majority of the time WFH and when not he said he...

Get to live vicariously through my oldest son. He picks up his Pixel 6 in-store tomorrow as the BestBuy had 3 available for pickup. As he was ordering it went down to 2 before he placed his so if your local store has them, buy quickly as it appears demand is still strong. I have had the Pixel...

I would have to agree. Sounds like it’s not perfect but a first iteration never is. It does sound like a fantastic phone at a excellent price (for the 6 at least) and I can only imagine that it will get better as Google updates and tweaks it. The majority of reviews have been praising the...

Bigger battery means more weight to a phone many are concerned about weight already with the 6. Android just needs to work on optimization of its OS so it can take better advantage of the in-house chip like Apple has done. 13 ProMax weighs more than either Pixel due to materials used but has...

In the case of someone like MKBHD, he is pretty consistent in how he tests phones. I compare his use to how the battery is from phone to phone as a reference for battery life for him. It gives me a baseline to compare the same phones with how I use them and I typically get much longer...

Thanks for posting. I shared it with my son who is contemplating a Pixel 6 or Pro to replace his OnePlus 5. I had been pushing the Pro but he does not care about the telephoto lens or the curved sides so the regular Pixel 6 may be a better fit as he cares about battery life and feel in hand...

FedEx is currently the worst carrier with delays. Hope it gets moving again soon for you. FedEx should change their tagline to “Potentially Delayed. It will get to you someday, we just don’t know when”.

Hope FedEx is on time as every package I have coming from FedEx gets the “Potentially Delayed” somewhere along the route. I suspect it will be a long weekend of using the phone for you.

I really think the choice is now Pixel or iPhone. Both represent the best of each iOS when you factor in the price of the Pixel and the years of updates. iPhone will never be bargain priced as that is not their business model. For sh$ts sake the $19 Apple “polishing cloths” are on back...

Think Instagram, Facebook or any other of the myriad of social media sites. Pictures are everywhere on the web and the best camera you have is the one that is with you. Whether taking pictures/videos of your kids, spouse, pets, whatever. You don’t have to look far to find people using their...

XDA always gets more into the weeds than a lot of the superficial reviews https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-6-pro-review/amp/ Battery Life and Charging The Google Pixel 5 set a very high bar in battery life, and it’s a shame to report that this time around, the Google Pixel 6 Pro is...

Short story… they love it

Looks like someone else didn’t get the memo but in their defense they are in Australia https://press-start.com.au/reviews/tech/2021/10/25/google-pixel-6-pro-review-a-best-in-class-personalised-experience/amp/

I also have the 12 Pro Max and the 6 Pro is comparable in color and quality. 6 Pro obviously has the higher refresh rate but static images, YouTube videos all are comparable between the two. Regular Pixel 6 not so much.

Spent some time last night checking out the Pixel 6 vs the Pro at Best Buy. Pro is not physically that much bigger in hand as is it has smaller bezels. I don’t care for the curved screen but it does look better than the 6 screen when side by side. The 6 screen is nice and flat and I doubt...

AT&T 5G+ at the Tampa Airport earlier this week. Apparently the 5G+ is their mmWave so it is fast. Useful for anything more than I normally do, not really but impressive speeds.

***SOLD*** $45 shipped. Switched over to a Google Chromecast with YouTube TV as that is all we used the Roku for. Overall in VG condition. Factory reset. Includes the Roku Ultra, power cord, remote, HDMI cable and short ethernet cable as I used it hardwired. NO headphones as they are used...

Under $600 on Swappa now as the Mini is apparently not selling well.

I also moved to the stock Apple keyboard once swipe became part of it. SwiftKey was my mainstay on Android and then iPhone but had some issues with entering WiFi passwords when I used it on my iPhone a while back when staying at hotels on trips so I removed idid not have the same issue with the...

I have tried several but always come back to Safari. Ad blockers are a mixed bag and I’m not using one right now.

It is made of Aramid Fiber so grip is excellent. If you ever used one of the OnePlus Karbon cases it’s that type of material but thinner and lighter. Evutec makes the OnePlus Karbon case which is similar in thickness to the other Pitaka case the MagEZ. The Air is a bit tighter weave so a...

Thinnest case I have been using on my 12 PM is the Pitaka Air.

To anyone that may be buying something from OnePlus, free shipping code from one of their Christmas contests.

I went from the 11 to Pro Max and no regrets. Had plus sized iPhones before and to me if you were OK with a plus size phone before then Pro Max is fine. Screen is a major upgrade from the regular 11 as the quality is excellent. I did turn TruTone off as it can be yellowish with it on and...

They do for the first 60 days. Automatically unlocked after that. https://www.verizon.com/about/privacy/consumer-safety/device-unlocking-policy

I could care less about 5G at this time. MmWave is a ways off and the “5G” in most areas is limited. I bought my 12 Pro Max for the bigger screen and battery. I had used the Plus sized phones until the X and then went to the regular 11 but have always missed the bigger phone so bought the 12...

Google/Pixel is really amazing what they can do with their hardware/software.
