Apple deeply needs to develop their Apple Intelligence and add some unique features that aren't on Android devices. I left my iPhone for the Pixel Pro 9 XL, due Googles software and UI innovation and originality.
I do love the new camera control feature, but Apple Intelligence needs to do something original and innovative to keep me staying with iPhone.

True, I never use the wired headphone. My iPhone 11 Pro fast charger is still in the box since October 2019.
Definitely excited for Mario Kart World tour to be available on Android. Hopefully they make it available for Android TV as well as mobile devices.
Nice to see Brian doing what he does best, again!
