Title: I switched from an iPhone to Google's Pixel phone and survived Post by: HCK on October 20, 2016, 04:05:14 pm I switched from an iPhone to Google's Pixel phone and survived
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Google made a splash earlier this month when the company announced it would be shipping a dongle with every Pixel phone it sold that helps iPhone users migrate to its Android flagship.</p><p> As a lifelong iPhone user, I decided to put Google to the test and find out how well that process really works. And after spending a weekend working through it, I came to a nuanced and messy conclusion. Broadly speaking, migrating works fine, but the nitty-gritty details of the process are painful to deal with.</p><p> I expected the transition to be far from frictionless. After all, I use iCloud Photo Library to sync my photos, correspond with my friends using iMessage, track my exercise with an Apple Watch and use a Mac. Migrating wasn’t going to be easy, but I wanted to give it a shot anyway and see whether the Pixel XL lived up to Google’s hype.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3132350/android/i-switched-to-googles-pixel-phone-and-survived.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: I switched from an iPhone to Google's Pixel phone and survived (http://www.macworld.com/article/3132350/android/i-switched-to-googles-pixel-phone-and-survived.html#tk.rss_all) |
