The Pixel 1 was the first time I'd ever sprung for a flagship phone, and it fell to the audio chip defect in under two years. It was effectively totaled (market value=$180, repair=$150+hours). Google Support was a complete waste of time. I replaced it with a second-hand iPhone 8 out of spite, even though I prefer Android to iOS.

Dismal support and privacy issues are making me seriously consider going back to the iPhone, even when I can't stand the lack of back function.

Mostly you can swipe in from the left edge to go back. It’s not 100% consistent so can be frustrating when it doesn’t work, but I seem to remember similar with the back button in Android.

Every time I Use someone’s android phone and try to go “back” I swap and nothing happens or I end up in some weird state. Then it’s like “oh yeah back button” this is despite using android for a few years before going iphone. You just get used to it after a while.
