This doesn’t really seem on topic. It’s not about device repairability.
It’s just “I ditched Apple and I’m happier”, which of course gets voted up.

Also, I did mention at the end that I really hate the Pixel 7 Pro. I think it's a pretty awful piece of hardware and I am counting the days until I allow myself to buy something else.
I missed the “dodged a bullet” aspect you were going for on the watch. That makes sense.
Not disagreeing, just curious. My Pixel 6 Pro seems fine, but I don't have much to compare it to.
Here's a list of complaints in no particular order:
> Firefox on Android doesn't properly background tabs. I didn't know this and had lots of tabs open and my phone battery would literally be like four hours total. This is obviously Firefox's fault, not the phones, but it was a bad first impression.
> Similarly, ProtonMail also sucks up all my power; if I don't turn on "power conserving" mode for protonmail, I only get like 13 hours of battery life. Again, not directly the phone's fault but a bad early impression.
> The camera is dreadful compared to what I had with the iPhone 12 Pro Max. It's not horrible in really bright conditions but it's terrible even in "general indoor lighting".
> The audio quality with bluetooth seems to "clip" a lot, even with stuff like LDAC codecs, and even playing a raw FLAC file with VLC.
> The overall interface is just mildly stuttery which isn't horrible but is mildly annoying.
> Google Pay seems to work sometimes, but it almost always rejects the first attempt.
There are more, but those are the biggest complaints. Uninstalling Firefox on Android made my life substantially better, so that's good, and maybe I'll find enough stuff that I actually like about it to where I want to stay within the Pixel ecosystem.
As of right now, though, I'm just wishing I bought another iPhone.
