@Brenton I had an iPhone 4, 4s, 5s, 6s. I have a Google Pixel now for about 6 months, I will never go back. There is so much I could expand on, ask me something if you want, but yeah the plunge is worth it I think.
@Brenton Same here. I had all my Google apps in one group and used them like you are, but on Android it's fully integrated. I get traffic alerts integrated in my message center, weather alerts, my photos are synced to Google drive, with no space penalty. One minor complaint may be low light photos, but that is being a little picky, the normal photos turn out great. The customization options Android provides are nice. Check out some youtube reviews too they helped me decide.
@sapadian what got me thinking about Android was that I mainly use Google apps and services on iOS anyway. So maybe they're even better on Android?
