anecdotal evidence is what I usually base my purchases on, which is why I've never bought a Google device after being burned (literally) by the Nexus 6P battery issues.

you can pretend it doesn't matter, but bad word of mouth is all it takes for me.

> but bad word of mouth is all it takes for me.

That's fine, but it's also entirely different from saying that the phones are objectively unstable and bad for everyday use.

I have been burned twice by iPhone battery issues (specifically my iPhone X).

Battery started discharging rapidly, I got it replaced, barely a year later it’s dying again.

This is me + wife with Pixel 3 despite "Battery Saving" mode and killall apps.

The screen is eating up the battery like me drinking water on a hot California weather.
