If I ever get an Android, I'm getting a Pixel. Carolyn Arnold
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rajiv Shah Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2025 1:20 PM To: [email protected]; Carolyn Arnold <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Apple versus android Having started with a Samsung phone and after that having moved to a pixel, I can definitely assert that this was the right path for me. As an iPhone user, I found that moving to a Samsung Galaxy phone helped me bridge the gap between Android and iOS. It made my move to the pixel much easier. I do agree, however, that pixel phones definitely are more stable with TalkBack than what I experienced with my Galaxy. Mind, it was the Galaxy S10 which I used for a number of years, so, in fairness, I do not know whether newer models of the Galaxy phones are much more stable with TalkBack. So I was still a firm, go with the Galaxy first and then move to a pixel. Sharing all this info for what it's worth. Rajiv .

All operating systems have their issues, and I still am not happy with android although I have one. For me, Apple is still better, despite certain issues.

I had a Samsung 7 that I hated because I could not figure out how to get rid of the earcons without getting rid of all sound. But, good news. It looks like they can be adjusted now.

Actually, probably the reason for that is that I have just gotten used to the Apple platform, so do not want to learn something else, whenever I already know something that works for me. My guess is that one is as good or as bad as the other.

The only thing I really liked about the fire tablet was that there was a virtual home button right on the screen that you could always have access to. Sometimes. I kind of wish that Apple would incorporate something like that into their devices. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
