Completely off topic, but not. We need another Steve Jobs to come in and wipe the product line clean again. First let me say, I LOVE Apple and have had Apple products since the early Ipod days. But they have way too many iPhones. And way too many iPads. They have so many of each now they don’t even know how to name them anymore! Anything after the iPad Air 2 was unnecessary with the exception of the Pro. The 2017 and 2018 iPads are useless and have that plastic sounding screen like the original iPad Air because it doesn’t have the laminated screen. And what happened to the anti-reflective coating from the Air 2? That’s my everyday iPad and that coating is amazing. And the iPhones...ugh! 6s, 7, 8, X...do we seriously need that many choices? What happened to 2 colors and 3 SSD tiers? And that X is hideous. And looks like this year they will all be. I’m stocking up on 6’s and 7’s now to get me through this “notch” stage. 

  Be be careful of what you wish for. Anybody clearing the product line at this point would probably kill all the desktop Macs.

1TB on a mobile phone? What’s the point other than spec whoring?

I think you got this wrong. If the same logic was applied by ALL the companies for the past 20+ years, we would have been stuck with 128KB of storage now.

No, he's right. It's just for bragging rights. It's like processors advertising their clock rates and seeing who has the higher numbers.

Complaining about running out of storage on a 16GB phone is a legitimate complaint since a lot of people on these devices do use up their storage. Saying we need 1TB as a solution is asinine. Especially when half of that 1TB is slow-ass SD card storage with restricted functionality.

Looks nice but with A11X or whatever processor iPad will have can have S4 for lunch.

The reason Google fails is because they see no value in the hardware, this company is run by a bunch of software types and they see hardware only a means to the end like using a pencil to write on paper.

I don’t think that’s true. The Pixel and Nexus phones have consistently had the best or near-best hardware of the whole Android ecosystem, surpassed only (occasionally) by Samsung. Nest hardware happens to be great too.

But despite being reasonably good at software, Android itself sucks. Java turned out to be a lousy platform upon which to build mobile devices and it’s gotten bad enough that they’re starting over with a clean slate (Fuchsia).

And their consumer experience also sucks. Lousy marketing, and no equivalent to the Apple Stores and Genius Bars. Going back to my story about my physical therapist earlier: If he were having these problems with an iPhone, I’d tell him to just walk down the street to the Apple Store (it's eight streets away). There's no Genius Bar for Nexus phones; his emails to Google support go into a black hole. 

Ironically, I think hardware is the only problem Android phones don’t have.

You talk as if you are an expert on Android devices, but in reality you are just another Apple fan that assumes a lot more than you know. I say Apple fan because of how you trash talked the Pixel, without acknowledging that iPhones do the same thing. And your assumptions on Nexus/Pixel hardware is far from fact. Nexus devices were built with B-grade parts. ie. Hardware that wasn't good enough to go into flagships. The only Nexus device that I am not sure of on that is the 6p. And if the parts weren't B-grade, they were the cheapest that could be put into a phone. Cept for the screens, and that is up for debate. The Pixels....have decent hardware at best. The screens are kinda meh and the camera sensors are just about the worst your can find in a flagship.

As for your all other Android phones are trash comment above... You should get out more. And you really shouldn't be giving buying advice to others if that is what you truly believe.
