My Nexus 6P died last night after <2 years of service, and my wife's first 5X died after only 4 months. Now that the Pixel is priced as a premium device in line with the iPhone and other flagships, I find myself considering a non-Google phone for the first time since the N1 was released.
Given the short support curve for most Android devices from Google and especially from third parties, that device is quite likely to be an iPhone. What was unthinkable to me just a few short years ago is now reality... I type this on a MBP and I might be convert my phone platform now as well. A true testament to the constant change in the marketplace, and the need to evaluate based on features and performance rather than fanboism.
