Guys, please give me at least one reason not to sell my matte black 7plus 128 GB and buy a Pixel XL?
If you're unhappy with your iPhone 7 Plus and want to get the Pixel XL instead then go for it. I'm sure you're mature enough to make an informed decision based on your likes/dislikes as well as your wants/needs.
And if you decide on the XL I really hope you enjoy android .

No it's not like that. I have great respect for Apple products. They are well built and benchmark for industry.
I have been an android user. This is my first apple experience. There are many great things. People give better rating to android keyboard but I am liking iPhone's keyboard more despite punctuation is on the other page.
Thing is I am not being able to do my communication on my iPhone properly. This is alarming for me. I have gone through settings multiple times but in vain. Maybe I am used to android's notification system. But the reality is from day one my communication on android was top notch. I did not get to worry. Recently I was an expecting an inbox message on facebook but it did not come. But then came to know it is there since long. On android it is impossible.
If you have more than three widgets than basically your widgets are styles on iPhone. And how can I see my work emails on my email widget? I don't have any VIP. All my work emails are important.
And Apple maps is not available for my region. We are second biggest market of Ford outside USA and similar is the situation with Apple and iPhone in my region but still apple maps not available and I've been told this officially by Apple. Google maps integration with iPhone is inferior than androids.
And at the end of the day I have to do things on google search on an iPhone.
List of complaints is long but I am ready to give it more time since it's my first apple device.
the pixel xl headphone jack is on the top. ugh.
Yes, you are basically to-the-point, but this is not answer to my question. I asked for one reason to not to upgrade to Pixel XL. Just found one and that is, IP67 rating. This is a great feature and I have lost many phones to water damage. I am looking forward to more.
I'm also a long time Android user who has gotten her first iPhone. I am loving it so far. It is beautiful and a lot of features are just plain polished and smart.
Two annoyances are how iOS handles notifications (badly) and the snap to grid home screen that gives me no choice on how I want my screen to look. Oh and as per the ongoing discussion in another thread, the darkening of the wallpaper.
Those are minor things however and I'm very happy with my decision and enjoying my new phone!
I think you really should enjoy the ride for at least a year with your iPhone. I mean com'on you can't really know an OS thoroughly without some serious use. In the meantime the Pixel will still be there, with improvements too, and you can get one next year (and probably have a better experience than the first iteration) if you want to.
I just love phones, all of them. I've had a Windows phone ( Windows 8 - loved it) and lots of Androids, so it was time for iOS. Having fun and enjoying it! My recommendation is hang with it a while - it's really nice! But just my opinion of course.
So the tread title should have read, "Please give me reasons why I should not leave the iPhone for the Pixel XL?" You specifically asked for "one" and you've admitted to getting "one" but now you're seeking more......C'mon dude, make up your mind...
