Last year’s iPhone 15 and this year’s iPhone 16 make me feel good about getting that Android phone. At this point - seriously - I’m waiting for a discount for either Pixel 8a or 8. I want to spend about $400 or less for one of these and I’m going to be golden. Seriously, I want to prove (mostly to myself) that great phones with great capabilties can be cheap enough. There’s no way in hell I’m ever going to spend $1000 and more for a phone. And thanks to our new flat - I don’t even need an iPhone to control it because of OS-agnostic Home Assistant. The only thing that is still keeping me glued to iOS is Apple Watch, but maybe I should just get that Garmin and call it a day? I’ll definitely miss the UI and watchfaces but I think I can manage with some mid-end Garmin that can show me the temperature and calendar event. These are interesting times, seriously. Even though not much is exciting for me in the news - the lack of this external excitement is actually making me excited about big moves.
