Support. The iPhone has longer support than anything Google puts out. And Apple has a history of supporting it and Google has a well known history of changing directions and dropping commitments. iPhones are expansive but amortize over the typical 5+ years that my iPhones are used for, they are cheaper than androids. My typical cadence used to be upgrade every year and hand me down the old phones to family. But now that cadence is more like 3 years since the phones. My youngest niece (11 yrs old with type 1 diabetes) still uses my iPhone 6S+ for the simple games and has her mom on the contact list. If her sugars are low she can always get a hold of her mom to come rescue her.

I noticed the same thing with my S5. Sometimes it tracks heart rate well but sometimes it just doesn’t. Tightening the band doesn’t seem to help. I was looking at getting a polar h9 because of it.

I’m generally MagSafe - 15W charging in the car when I drive. I have a 5w anker wireless charger/stand at my desk and it works pretty well. Between the two of them I never need wired charger.

I’ve had an Apple Watch since series 5 and I think I used the keyboard twice when I first got it. Haven’t used it since. Quick replies are good enough - no one is writing much on their watch if they are busy working out.

Fair enough. I am gonna have to wait this out for a few years then. Thanks!

Wait… Google is supporting 7 full updates?! Any chance of them flip flopping on this? Is there legal verbiage that we can use to sue if they renege and change their minds? If so, then I might actually consider a Google phone…

84% battery health. This doesn’t look too bad to me.

I have an AW5, and the latest update caused excess battery drain for one day. And it’s been back to normal since. 85% battery life.
