I don't think that was in dispute. It was the the Apple fans that have no problem throwing shade at Android phones here in the Android threads. But would not hold Apple to rhe same standards in the Apple threads.
Got a tip for us?

I agree your response to the other member. I never took your comments as an Apple vs Google thing. That's why I took the view that Google is going to spin it as a positive and they should. No harm in that. Like I mentioned, even if Google sold only 100,000 Pixel phones last year and doubled that to 200,000 this year, that's one helluva sales spike.
I view it as follows, Pixel Sales = Interest in Pixel Phones. Google has to be encouraged that potential buyers are now interested and willing to give their phones a try.
Your other point regarding returns I had NO issues with either. I'm sure there were buyers who wanted to compare it to their iPhone, Galaxy phones or just wanted to try out and see what Google was up to. Regardless, those are still viewed as sales. I'm also of the belief that Google had a substantial number of returns partly due to their in display FPS.
That's why companies ask you the reason for return. What they are looking for are red flags, like the FPS or they didn't like the color or shape. They need that info to correct it in the next release if possible.
Maybe but this is basically a pro Apple website. Regardless, Apple does make the best and nicest looking phones out there and sell the most of probably any brand. Hats off to them, really.
Although I have a love affair with Huawei phones. I think they are even better looking than some of the iPhones. Sadly, they have been banned but I still have an Honor 9X which is still getting monthly updates and is a really good looking phone that works great.
true..it is called MacRumors. But also it is nice to see people hold all things to the same standard.
The iPhone is the single best selling smartphone model. But Samsung sells more phones overall than they do with i think Xiaomi a close second or third behind Apple.
Pixel 6’s magic eraser feature breaks after update
Following a series of unusually buggy updates.

Yeah I saw that news. I love magic eraser. But I haven’t tried using it in weeks. Ironically I’ve wanted to on some recent iPhone photos I’ve taken.Pixel 6’s magic eraser feature breaks after update

Got a iPhone 13 pro max. Great phone but I miss my P6P.
One week left to return though.

Like any new feature I used it abit but soon didn’t bother using it
Nice to have though certainly for pics with big crowds
Been using my 6 about a week now. Love the phone but for some reason I stopped getting 50% of my texts yesterday. The first 6-7 days or whatever was perfect but for some reason yesterday they aren't coming through all the time. And as luck would have it I was out of town and my wife was texting me and getting worried because I wasn't replying. Then the same with my mom and another friend. Seems everyone gets my texts just fine but I'm not getting theirs. So frustrating! Google blames my carrier and my carrier blames Google. Back on my 13PM now. 
Guess this will be my "around the house WiFi device".

Not sure if you have or not, but if you’ve been swapping sims between iPhone and your Pixel I wonder if iMessage has grabbed onto your number and wont release it hence why messages sent to you are going into the ether. Probably not, but thought I‘d put it out there. Might be wise to de-authorise iMessage manually on Apple’s site if you still have issues.Been using my 6 about a week now.

Yeah, I thought about it, but it wouldn't explain the 2 Android users who I'm having issues with. RCS is off on Android and I de-registered from iMessage.
February security update has been installed
Also verified magic eraser still works like a charm!

Also got it. Installing now.
Always with trepidation, seeing as I've had zero issues so far with my Pixel so worry a new update could send things south. 😜

I did the update earlier and then the phone would not connect to a call. Had to restart and now it is working so hopefully just a minor glitch.
Got my update on both phones last night. Nice
So I have both the Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6, and mainly use the 6 Pro mostly as my daily driver, but I do like the more compact size and FLAT screen of the Pixel 6. But when I use the 6 Pro all day and then go back to the regular Pixel 6, couple things are noticeable right off the bat every time;
- Haptic vibration is nowhere even close to as good on the 6 compared to the 6 Pro, it's night and day better on the 6 Pro, makes the 6 Pro feel more premium or as good as an iPhone, and the regular 6 feels weak and cheap almost with the lesser vibration.
- 120hz refresh rate. Not sure what it is exactly, but scrolling in apps, or just moving around the Android UI and home screens or opening and closing apps, etc... The Pixel 6 Pro is just more fluid, smoother, less to no little lag whatsoever, where the regular Pixel 6 does have a slight skip or minor hiccup here and there, or feels a little choppy or slightly laggy at times, but just for a split second though.
I wish Google would have made both phones with the exact same hardware and build, like the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max are extremely similar to each other

You are right that the haptic feels much different on the two devices. It feels stronger on the Pro. From what I read, they have the same haptic hardware but the Pro has it on the bottom and the 6 on the top so you feel it more on the pro.
No issues with my Pixel 6 but oh boy, here we go again Google

Google Pixel 6 owners report Wi-Fi issues after installing the February 2022 patch
Another Pixel update, another bug?
www.androidpolice.com
Pixel 6 and Pro were just added to the beta program. Anyone wanting to try Android 12L Beta 3 now can. Maybe it'll have less bugs than the "stable" version.
I'd try it if I hadn't had gotten rid of my Pixel 6. Would be funny if 12L was smoother and less problematic.
Well we shall see. I couldn't resist and picked up white S22 Ultra 512GB lol 
Issues smh
Took a few picks yesterday while I had my car by the shop

One thing I noticed is the Pixel defaults to a very cool almost bluish white balance. Which is how I got the blue kitty in my avatar photo. I think these photos are good but they do look really cool toned even on my ridiculously warm iPhone display.Well we shall see. I couldn't resist and picked up white S22 Ultra 512GB lol
