My BIL is a Google engineer and he gave me (an iPhone user) a pixel 8 pro to test drive for feedback. The hardware is pretty darn solid and felt good in my hands and to my eyes. I really liked that it had both a fingerprint sensor and a facial recognition system to unlock. This made contactless payment a lot easier to use than an iPhone in my opinion. In general, the software is not as polished as iOS, but is more customizable and you can side load apps from alternate app stores like f droid, which is great. The killer feature as far as I am concerned is Firefox with uBlock.

Would like to have a compass displayed on CarPlay. On maps or as a separate app I don’t care.

I used to have a 12 mini and other than battery life this was my favorite phone of all time. If you’re rarely in a situation where you’re away from a charger it’s fine. But if you depend on it for something mission critical at the end of the day I would get a mobile charger. Reiterate: favorite phone of all time and this includes iPhone 14 pro max and pixel 8 pro.

Drill baby drill!

Sure, they key here being private school. They’re regulating public schools.

Back up your data first, obviously. Then it’s irrelevant as to how it works.

Make it in the mini form factor and use physical SIMs and I will buy two.
