Thanks, but no. I own a Pixel 6 Pro as my second phone (for work), and I prefer not having to treat my phone like it is a (non-M1) laptop. I.e., constantly worry about having a way to charge it whenever I am out and about.
It isn't just my perception either, the reviews all pointed out the battery to be lacking. Meanwhile, I charge my iPhone about once every 2 days (or once a day before i go to sleep, in case I am using it very heavily on that particular day).
No idea what the whole "better camera" complaint is either. Pretty much every in-depth technical review (by blogs/people who actually have knowledge of photography and camera tech) of iPhone 14 Pro camera laud it as great, which my personal experience confirms.
do me a favor. can you check how much you use your iphone vs android. It seems you use your work phone more than iphone. thats why its running out of battery most likely. also, i would prefer iphone over android for work because they have better enterprise compatibility. Android is always a mess with work profile in my experience.
also, w.r.t camera, DXOmark rated pixel 7 pro more than iphone 14 pro max. even latest macrumours review (check comments of that review) shows pixel is clear winner
for example, go and take moon pictures with your 6 pro and iphone 14 pro. tell me which one has moon vs white blob.
> It seems you use your work phone more than iphone.
I pretty much don't at all, precisely for that reason. Just checked, and my average active screen time for the past 10 days was a tiny bit over 9hrs on iphone (because traveling, so i need it a lot for navigating around, coordinating stuff with other people, etc), and I was charging it before going to sleep (but it was not empty, it still had a decent amount of charge left). On my Pixel, back when i was using it, it was around 3hrs at the very most, and I would have to charge it midway through the day
If you are genuinely curious, please let me know. I can try using my Pixel as I would my iPhone tomorrow, and then report the results the day after that.

Haven't tried that yet, but will do and report back along with the battery. Would heavy light pollution be a problem for taking moon pics? Because I am in theater district in Manhattan rn, and light pollution here is off the charts.
3 hours sounds like something is wrong. On my Pixel 7 Pro I currently have 5.5 hours of screen time with 40% battery left. Not as good as an iPhone, but certainly good enough to get through a day with charge remaining.
To clarify, my pixel wouldnt die after 3 hours. It would drop to around 50% or so, i would put it away, and it would die on its own by the end of the next day without me using it pretty much at all (outside of it sitting there and receiving notifications).
Taking moon photos needs special camera modes and doesn’t have much of anything to do with how good the general tuning is. The usual auto exposure algorithms don’t work on it.
