OS

Some people swear by the rigid familiarity of IOS, while others are certain it’s stuck in the past. The truth is there’s no right or wrong here, but the more we use it the more convinced we’ve become by 3D Touch, with most major apps now supporting its pressure-sensing tricks. The Pixel, on the other hand, is the first phone to get Android Nougat updates and patches. It’s also the purest form of the OS you can get, untouched by manufacturers or networks adding their own ‘helpful’ apps and skins. In all honesty, the differences between the two systems are probably smaller now than ever… but if you’re aligned with one, that won’t stop you slagging off the other, will it?
