I just purchased a Pixel 3A XL to try Android and I can say I am shocked how good Android has gotten. Phone is smooth and the cellular reception is phenomenal compared to my XS Max. Still feel Apple products are amazing but Android has gotten so much better. Paid $479.00 and for price is amazing.
Now all the copycat Chinese companies will be able to pay Jony directly for the designs they normally copied instead (although paying for design probably doesn't sit well with them).
Chinese companies would never pay Jony Ive, even if he would accept it. Apples designs have always been copied, no matter if Jony Ive is with Apple or not. It’s Not just because of the designs, it’s because of the branding.

I use iPads for work but my phones are Android models. I currently have a Pixel 3 XL and it’s a phenomenal phone I every way. I read many posts on this site and elsewhere and it’s overwhelmingly clear that many people have no idea whatsoever how powerful and flexible Android is now. And not to mention extremely fast and smooth. My Pixel 3 will boot completely in literally 5 seconds. Comparing the same apps on both my iPad Pro and Pixel, such as Adobe apps, my Pixel always runs them faster. Chrome on Android is definitely faster than Safari on iOS. Both operating systems are great but one is definitely not better than the other. Finally, Android has something iOS will likely never have - a REAL file system, and true multitasking.
