Very similar situation. I used nexus/pixel for a long time. Switched to iPhone with an 11 pro.

After 3 years on IOS and now with a 13 pro max, I wanted to go back to Android so I bought a Pixel 7 pro on Black Friday. There are many feature that I love. Like a decent keyboard, notifications that work ( we disagree on this one ) better stock apps like calculator, clock app … and much better still pictures.

But the experience is very stuttery. I feel like everything comes with a few stutters. I actually was surprised a couple times to see the "swiping home" animation stutter. It really is not a smooth experience imo.

Honestly at this point, I’ll settle for a decent keyboard, decent notifications and a universal back button. If Apple could deliver on that ( they won’t ) I’d never switch again.

But anyways, the 7 pro isn’t it. It’s most likely going back to google in the next 2 weeks.

I have the belkin MagSafe tree I love it. It has a pad on the base for my AirPods the MagSafe disk for my phone and a Apple Watch charger. $140 is steep but I have loved having everything in one for my nightstand.

I use them ALL the time when driving. It’s such a better way of having your phone mount in your vehicle and it holds it super secure.

It’s gotten to the point that I had to buy a MagSafe charger for my house as well because it’s so convenient to just slap it on there and it’s done.

Also the most minor thing but when laying in bed MagSafe doesn’t poke your belly/chest like a lightning cable does. I don’t have to worry about bending the cable either.

It’s all minor things but adds up to I’m now charging 100% wirelessly. Ironically enough even when I was using android I bought a case for my phone specifically that worked with MagSafe chargers.

I don’t think the iPhone is boring. It never has been, and with customization options more than ever with the lock screen and widgets it’s even better. But if you’ve used iPhones all your life it can feel stale after a while and then you appreciate things like the ecosystem and reliability from the cameras, battery life and overall experience.

I myself tried android a few times from Galaxies to Pixels and while they had some cool features they didn’t win me over with anything and the experience wasn’t as polished or had as much of an ecosystem like apple.

It's a short cord so unlike a 4-6 foot lightning cable it might be challenging to charge while using it. It also doesn't charge as fast as lighting. I actually rarely use them became I don't find them to be more convenient but the are nice to use sometimes.
