Perhaps excited before it came out and the price was announced. Also The Verge != people.

It's a great Android phone, but since iPhone costs the same and they've upped the ante with i7 this year (stereo speakers, waterproofness), there's not much pro points toward the Pixel. Support stays the same, two years of update, one extra for security and then you're dead in the water, compared to 4-5 years with iPhone.

Unless you really love the Google bubble with AI and data collection.

I know this might come as a surprise but some people prefer Android to iOS. The Pixel seems to fare well compared to other Android phones, especially when you don't want any skins.
