The classic Google “duplicate all the things until you kill off the older, more loved thing” strategy is in full force with Pixel 9.

There are somehow three weather apps depending on how you get to it. There are two assistants and I never know which is going to pop up (sometimes they pop up over top of one another!). I have a Pixel Screenshots app which is somehow different from the Screenshots shortcut from the Photos app, where my screenshots are synced to my account.

I got my hands on a Pixel 9 Pro today, and… it is *substantially* bigger and heavier than Pixel 8. :( I thought it might be negligible but I think Pixel 8 is _already_ too big, so every little bit bigger and heavier makes a huge difference.

I appreciate that the “smaller” phone got the same guts and camera as the bigger pro phone, but sheesh. It’s still too damn big. :(

After the #TeamPixel debacle, I had to take a step back and figure out how I wanted to handle this phone launch.

I just published a "game plan" over on the patreon. It's available to free and paid members. If you have any requests for coverage, drop a comment on that post.
It's still really messy, and I'm still upset about the situation.
Should be fun...

Do I get a phone case I like the look of and throw a third-party magnet ring on the back, get a boring-looking case with magnets, or just put a magnet ring on the phone itself?

Specifically looking for the Pixel 9 Pro (non-XL). The bright red Mous one I really wanted is only available for the XL. 😭

Free idea for any tech press/blogger/etc. who wants to stand out from the typical noise around consumer tech:

Write a “review” about the Pixel 9 in two parts: the first half, exclusively use Google’s AI models for your information, sources, fact checking, illustrations, and even drafting if you want. Then in the second half, break down how well (…or not) it did, share how the process was, and correct any of the factual errors.

The Pixel Screenshots app is weird, and classic Google. This should be part of Google Photos and/or Keep—not a separate app!

Is this a symptom of the “Pixel” team being too separated from the other product teams, or is it to combat privacy concerns (which, let’s be honest, it won’t because some people will just not trust anything from Google)?
