Been an iPhone user for years since the original iPhone. Last year I switched from iPhone 11 Pro to pixel 4 just for the camera. Since then upgraded to pixel 5 and loving it.

Last week I bought the iPhone 13 pro as I wanted to switch back to iOS. But since then I haven’t been using iPhone 13 pro as much as I would like to. Still miss some of the basic features of pixel like swipe to go back, google assistant and the weight of pixel 5. It’s so light and I never worry about dropping the phone. With 13 pro being so expensive I’m more worried about dropping it.

As much as I like to get used to iPhone again not sure if I’ll end up keeping it. With Pixel6 around the corner I might see how that camera compares to 13 pro

I never thought I’d prefer pixel over iPhones!!

iPhone has always have swipe to go back and you can download google assistant :rolleyes:

I mean swipe to go back to the precious screen. For example if I read an email in the mail app swiping back takes me back to inbox screen with pixel. Same for all apps. Im so used to it now. With iOS I’ve to use the arrow on the left screen to go back. It’s. I big deal. Since I’ve used pixel for a year and a half I’m so used to it. That’s all

As Banglazed mentioned. You can also swipe back to the previous screen on iPhone, without using the arrow. 😉

How do I go back to inboxes in the mail app when I’m reading an email. Swiping doesn’t work in this example. It only gives me option to flag or delete email
 
How are you liking the 13 Pro camera array vs the Pixel 5? I've been a Pixel 2 holdout for a minute, but I ordered a 13 Pro because I have so many other apple devices. That said, I am used to the Pixel "look" now and I certainly enjoy Android on a Pixel.

The camera bump on 13 pro is sometimes you’ve to get used to. It’s quite big. Pixel 5 is so light and I always feel safe when carrying it around without a case. With iPhone I’m always worried about dropping it. But the phone itself is so beautiful. Haven’t done a real test of lowlight pictures yet. I’m still on the fence on wether to keep this phone or wait till pixel 6 and then decide

I also have a Pixel 4 and have used it with the iPhones Pro 11, 12 and now 13. I slightly preferred the Pixel photos to the 11 and 12, but now with Photographic Styles and other improvements I think the iPhone has the superior shooter. Like you I’m really looking forward to the Pixel 6. It almost certainly won’t get me off the iPhone as my primary device, but I‘m excited to see what Google comes up with.

Swipe right from the left side of the screen to go back.
