    I did the math...

    I owe $455 left on my iPhone 7 because of the subscription plan.

    I can get $355 on a trade in of that iPhone for a Pixel.

    • And with a google phone you can own the phone and can tell your cell provider to fuck off any time you want! It gives you leverage when you call to complain...zarkonite
    • I guarantee you won't regret itset
    • it does have a learning curve at first... but the back button is a game changer.zarkonite
    • Just paid off my iPhone 6. Now I'm considering this too. The only downside is that it won't have airplay which I use a lot. Hmmm.monospaced
    • ironically, apple gadgets have high resell value and chromecast is cheap! It might be cheaper to switch than you think.zarkonite
    • what zarkonite saidBennn
    • mono - Ahhh... Airplay... :( I didn't think about that. I have Apple TV's on both tv's in my house.mg33
    • We have the Chromecast Ultra. It OFFERS many good features, but in experience, it's a fucking disaster in comparison to the Apple TV. I WISH it were the same.monospaced
    • Ah really? that's a shame if true... I have very little experience with either..set
    • I think the main difference is on-board storage. Apple TV has some, so it can buffer more streaming video, making the whole experience MUCH smoother.monospaced
    • On the Chromecast, if I rewind even a couple of seconds, it starts the buffer over and sometimes takes 30 seconds to start playing again.monospaced
    • The AppleTV has 32 or 64GB onboard, allowing for Apps and all kinds of great content to be available blazing fast. It's basically an iPhone 7 without a screen.monospaced
    • Anyway, this isn't a bash on Chromecast thread. If I DO go Android, I can always try a Roku or make do with what I've got.monospaced
    • I don't think having a Pixel would make me use my Apple TV any less - it's all we use. I have PS Vue on it for cable and love it.mg33
    • I'm excited to get the 4k version when it comes out because I have a 4k tv in my basement.mg33
    • Starting to install more powerline ethernet adapters so that stuff further away from my wifi router will run faster.mg33
