What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?
[–] InvaderDJ@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) That is kind of the point of the Pixel. To be the iPhone of Android. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] marmo7ade@lemmy.world 9 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Kronlid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago Not an apple fanboi but isnt that coming to the iphone in the next ios update? permalink fedilink source parent [–] InvaderDJ@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Not sure what point is being made here. I'm saying that Pixel is the iPhone of Android because it is aimed at the same market. It is the stylish, simple, don't have to think about it solution that is updated regularly and has the best their OS can provide. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dog_@lemmy.world [S] 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) ? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] InvaderDJ@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) I mean that Pixel is the default, slick, polished option. It isn't like Samsung that has every software feature and form factor under the sun, the absolute best specs, the lowest price, etc. It is the slick, polished default option. The option that you recommend everyone. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dog_@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) While you have a point, I think the pixel stands out because of the giant visor it has now. It stands out more than iPhones today. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] InvaderDJ@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Google is definitely embracing that look, but if we're cynical about it, that's also following in Apple's playbook. Apple basically made the home button on their older iPhones their design queue for years. And then they switched to the notch, and it was again their design signature. And recently they switched to the pill shaped camera cutout, and again, it's a design feature. permalink fedilink source parent
