Sorry to burst your bubble, I'm a long-time Android user who switched to the iPhone 6S for about a year and a half, then back to a Pixel 2. Following its release, I bought the iPhone XS expecting to love it and be done with Android.

Oh, how wrong I was. Siri is still garbage, CarPlay is terrible compared to Android Auto. And there's nothing even similar to Google Home. Apple's hands-free story is completely nonexistent which is fine if you've never used a decent hands-free ecosystem, but it's very hard to switch back to.



Interesting use cases, the Google variant is still a good choice but a sliver of the android market that I cant really consider it meaningful

Its one vs many variants


You get that on any modern Android phone, not sure when the cutoff is but my Oneplus from years ago still gets the modern crap.


Can Android today handle voice dialing non-English names in the address book? If not, their hands-free story leaves a lot to be desired as well.


Yes, with phonetic names, an optional field like the pronunciation name in iOS.
