P6P here had it since day one. My battery is not in the best shape, but not terrible either.

I just charge when it’s needed and adaptive charging has done a pretty good job of keeping the battery healthy.

Overall though at the end of the day I’m not sure there’s too much we as the user have control over.

Amazing in 2023 people still referencing that 30 year old battery University article.

And liquid screen protector with a physical screen protector? C’mon my guy it’s just a phone.

It is interesting that the price has already dropped on the P8 and is expected to continue to drop thru black Friday.

This is precisely why I never buy new anymore, having been burned by two previous Pixel releases in the past.

This chip situation doesn’t bode well for my continued Pixel use however.

Software is important but it isn’t everything, and like the article said raw horsepower does matter. For me. The most important things are battery, life display brightness, and cellular connectivity - something my pixel 6 Pro objectively fails at on all three fronts.

Combine that with all of the data theft that Google software utilizes, and I think I’m pretty much done.

You guys were all taking how you’d pay the developer twice for his work if possible, and how everyone should purchase the Pro version without question on day one etc.

Maybe it wasn’t you sucking the dev off sideways for weeks straight - but the community at large is and has been.

I mean, I like the app and all, but the price is steep. Steeper than it was for reddit and steeper than all the other apps as well.

As far as I know it’s the only one with a subscription model, and we don’t even have the “sync” feature that is its namesake.
