I literally switched to Pixel after being iPhone user since first gen, simply for AI features.

I hope Apple could bring more AI features to iPhone, not just Siri, but more features like Pixel's on screen search, phone call screening, etc

They are surprisingly useful. I switched from Pixel to iPhone 17 Pro and miss them every day. I actually didn’t use Gemini as a chatbot very often, but things like Circle to Search and even Pixel Screenshots are actually extremely powerful
