      As much as like to shit on Apple for many other reasons, they’ve had fairly few mishaps with their phones. Even counting bending phones, “you’re holding it wrong” etc., their track record is still decent compared to the competition.

        Yeah but they’ve got their own issues. They’re so anti right to repair and their OS is so much more restrictive. That’s how it is under capitalism, kind of just have to pick your poison :/

          I like that Google supplies repair parts straight to iFixit back to the Pixel 2. It would be nice if it didn’t require melting glue to get to half of the components, but hey, baby steps. And the latest models out finally have a decently long support period for security updates.

      The shitty ram thing is especially egregious and was not the industry standard at the time, especially for your flagship phone.

      The weird audio issues on multiple devices is also out of the norm.

      Current pixel phones are pretty good! But it’s clear that for at least the first 4 gens they had some QC and quality of parts issues.

      Edit: also to add, it’s a basic thing that if your phone is dead dead then you should use wall power to power the circuit to charge the battery. But if you let it sit for a few months, your phone will not charge again unless you put in a new battery with some charge, that is definitely out of the norm and is also something that should have been rectified sooner.

          Must be nice, I have a pixel 1, straight up won’t turn on, I have a bunch of stuff that wasn’t backed up on there. The flash chip is fine I just can’t turn it on
