I have an iPhone XS, but I’d probably downgrade to a pixel 3a and give my wife the XS, if google sold them in Denmark that is. They don’t even sell the pixel 3 yet though, so there is a fat chance of that.

Anyway, I like Apple and have been a long time user of their phones since my Samsung S2 died to planned obsolescence. I pay google to handle my email though.

After years of trying everything, outlook, iCloud-mail, tutanota, protonmail, fastmail, Runbox and a bunch of others I ended up buying a GC account instead because google is just better at it.

So my calendar is google, my mail is google, I have space on google drive, I use google docs and of course I use google maps. So I kind of feel silly on iOS.

I upgraded to the XS from a 5S when the smaller screen size started to annoy me, but the truth is that I don’t need the power and the XS is too heavy for my weak hands. :p



Google's apps on iOS are pretty decent, though, and you can always like those services to the built-in apps if you prefer those.


Can't set them as default though :(
