If ads start appearing here and there in Apple's services, I'm going to drop them. I consider that I pay premiums for the quality of the hardware and software, and am happy to do so, and that ads are completely inappropriate.

This kind of thing is going to create a living hell.

Thanks for the thoughtful post, DAalseth.

I’m pretty big into classical music myself and am super-excited about this.

I don’t see the Pixels as « me-too » products at all. Google puts out some good phones, which are competitive on the hardware front and built to make the OS shine. They’re also (some, including me, would say ironically) more secure than any of the standard Android phones.

If I were to ever leave iOS, I’d buy a Pixel and put Graphene on it — there’s no way I’d give Google access to me and my digital life. But I like the hardware.

I see the argument for the buds and watch as copy-cat products, but I also see the logic of creating a set of products that work seamlessly together.
