Other iPhone SE or Google Pixel 7a?

[delsoul]

I’m going to upgrade from my iPhone SE 2020 and trying to decide if I should stick with the apple theme and get the SE, or get the google pixel 7a? In my opinion, it seems like the 7a has A LOT more to offer than the SE. But I also do use a MacBook Pro and an iPad Pro, so it’s nice to have an apple phone that works with all the other devices. What would your suggestions be in this scenario?

Get another iPhone, it’ll work better in your current set up

I'd echo that. I feel like throwing a Pixel into an otherwise all-Apple hardware setup is likely to just introduce lots of daily friction.

Buy a used Pixel 5a off eBay. Use it as your only phone for a month. Then you'll see if the vanilla Android experience works for you.

If you don't like it. You'll know not to bother with the 7a. As it'll just be a spec bump with the same OS and apps. Resell it on eBay. Maybe taking a $20 loss to learn a lesson.

If you do like it. Again, resell it and get the 7a.

The previous poster has a very good idea as the Pixel 5a is still a very capable device.

However, if you’re truly stuck in the Apple ecosystem and you want to go with a lower tier iPhone like the iPhone SE 2022 you could probably find a 12 Mini for cheaper than you’d pay for a SE 2022 or possibly a 13 Mini for a little bit more. Those are options to consider. Unless you just enjoy the home button and Bezels as there are people who still do. However, if you’re considered a 7a it’s basically “bezel less” with a little thicker bezels than some phones.

I’m rambling, but these are all options.

pixel is the superior device but if you're into IOS then iphone makes sense
