Apple Events — a 1st among equals
Apple kicks off what has become known as Tech-tember and the tech season.
As the summer ends, the tech giants swing into action with all the big players laying out their wares for us to drool over, hopefully, buy and probably critique. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook all hold events of varying magnitude at this time of year.
Yesterday Google opened their doors and laid down the gauntlet to Apple as it officially launched the Pixel 8 series of phones which are direct competitors to Apple and their iPhone 15 range.
It was the first time I had sat down and watched an entire Google event live. I’ve been such a loyal Apple fanboy that Google events never appealed to me — of course, that has changed this year.
Although I am super happy, over the moon even with my iPhone 15 Pro Max, this year I have wandered to the dark side and tried Android for the first time and was quite impressed with what I saw.
Changing times
I’d always imagined that Android phones were for those who hadn’t tried Apple! I imagined them as poor or inferior quality, plasticy and just toys.
Of course, I was wide of the mark and found that they were just different but were nonetheless bloody good phones.
