Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware? (lemmy.zip)

I want a phone for $0, which Koodo (or other) will offer this phone for within 15 months.
I'll contain my excitement until then.

That being said, I am liking the Pixel line, in general, so I'm sure either my wife or I will have one eventually.

Also, I haven't known anyone to have genuine phone excitement since the blackberry (c. 2009), though I often detect iphone smugness (if only they knew).

I do miss “back in the day” when I was a kid, where every phone had its own OS and apps, and it was exciting to go through every single option and button on the phone

These days, bar a few small hardware differences, every iphone is the same as the next, and every android is the same as the next.

I much prefer a standardised OS (android,iOS,whatever) but its not exciting anymore
