My 15PM just sold on Swappa (again), first sale I canceled due to shady buyer. I can't remember the last time I didn't have an iPhone until today. Whenever I tried Android I kept an iPhone handy because I knew I'd go back. I've had every iPhone since the 4. The S24+ is that good. I'm now using one phone and hope to keep it that way. I may cave in September, we'll see.

Yes. A 13 Pro Max I am going to upgrade this year with AT&T US and VZW US and a 13 Mini (I love the small size when wearing a suit) with Voda UK and EE UK. My client bought me a Kenyan Samsung Android but I could not get along with it. Been in the drawer since 2020.

I know they stopped the mini. What I would like to see is an iPhone Micro. Smaller than mini which is easy to wear in a suit or fit into small pocket or a lady’s purse. If it was small enough they could even make it “Kawaii” in Japan. It would open a new market.

What do you guys with an Android phone and an iOS phone do about things like photos and messaging? Do you just not use iMessage and sync with Google Photos? I'm an Apple Photos guy and I've also got many conversations that are exclusively on iMessage. Tough to switch fully to Android.

I use Proton Drive, Dropbox, Telegraph, or a portable SSD.
I have a number of friends and peers all over th globe and iMessage is not used much. Telegram and Teams are the big two used. I use RCS more than iMessage. My iPhone is more for work so Teams is the big item there.

Two phones. iPhone 14 Pro Pixel 8 Pro. One for US use and the other for international use. The ability to have multiple store accounts on one device gives the Pixel the nod especially for regional apps that I would not be able to have access to with only a US based account.

I do carry 2 phones with me everywhere I go, but only one is active. The other is my old phone and i use it as a second screen. Comes so handy. I use it for GPS, I can watch and stream off of it while my main phone is free to use for whatever else. I just hotspot my main phone. I doubt I ever go back to just carrying one phone with me.

Even have two car mounts in both of my cars and double the car chargers.

As above; carry no; use 2, yes

15PM as my personal phone and ties in with my AWU

Google Pixel Fold as my business phone - but used a lot of reading books on Kindle, magazines etc in the evenings (set to silent)

It sounds like you prefer one platform, especially because it's convenient to keep all your data and photos in one place.

By analogy, I also carried two phones, an Android and an iPhone.
I also currently only have one phone, it's an iPhone. I like his work and speed.

I carry 2 phones (15 & 15 Pro) because I don’t want to get confused between business and pleasure. Been there done that.

One of the reasons I won't put my work stuff on Android is because I switch Android phones often... It's a pain since I can't run some apps on both phones simultaneously...

why I like microsoft teams chat:

- forever edit button for text, photos, files, etc
- cloud chat / cross platform, iOS, android, web,
- microsoft login - good for android / chromeOS with multiple user profile setup so that if you intend on data segregation across multiple user profiles, since it's a msft account, you don't have to worry about accidental cross google account data leaks, in google photos for example
