Pixel 9 Pro Fold

Earlier in the week Google announced the next iteration of the Pixel Fold - Pixel 9 pro fold.

I was really tempted to get the pixel fold but the Apple eco-system stopped me and in general a better sense of judgement prevailed to avoid an impulse purchase.

Apps I am so dependent on…

Notes, Reminders, Calendar, Passwords sync and the fact that I have surrounded myself with all Apple products - Macbook air, ipad mini, AirPods, Apple watch I just can’t think of making the change unless I do so in a wholesale manner. Keeping aside my love for notes, which I don’t think there is a good enough solution in the Android eco-system there is the whole aspect of 💰.

Pixel pro fold - issues resolved?

And after letting things sink in I realized that apps being optimized for the inner screen might still be an issue. Not to mention the crease on the fold1. On top of that for $1799 I can as well get a new iphone + iPad, which is a much better deal than a device where not all the apps might be optimized for the inner screen.

Through the lens


  1. I haven’t seen the fold so I am not sure if that is an issue.↩︎
