Not worth the upgrade, if you really hate Google that much, just side grade to a S8, no phone on the marekt is really going to bring much if any improvement.

Spending big on a phone in 2018 is a sure way to see fools and money parted. Lots of money. And apparently lots of fools too - no offense just a general observation.

You can easily bump down to midrange phones and have the exact same experience. And going from a Pixel to a second rate Iphone... wow. Just wow. Take the effort to set up email proper I'd say, instead.

Signed, Iphone SE user... yep. Got it from work, and it's the worst phone experience ever, still manages to annoy me on a daily basis with all of its quirks and weird restrictions + lack of functionality. Going from Android to IOS is horrible. You've been warned. Its a bit like moving from PC to console gaming. You think it's easier, but the problems just have different names and you've lost any sense of control.

i don't understand all the hate toward iPhones.

They're simple to use
Highly Optimized
Guaranteed updates
Good Battery Life
Great Cameras
etc...

I love my iPhone XR would definitely recommend it. I also own a Galaxy Note 8 and S7 Edge which are also a great phones which i like but Androids bloatyness and weird sometimes never update cycles keep me on the IOS fields.
