anyone have opinions on whether a google pixel 3a would likely be suitable for an iphone 6 enjoyer? on paper it looks almost the same size and shape, but i've never seen one irl. (or any other android phone recommendations for such a person? specifically: similar size, touch id, single back camera, non-glass back, possible to replace the screen and battery at minimum..)

bought one from facebook marketplace and it seems really, really nice?? super light despite being way bigger than my iphone. i am impressed and confused by modern android (last used 7 on moto e4 lol)

not 100% sure i'll switch to it (im really attached to my pink iphone se 2016, ok) but a *much* better candidate than the iphone se 2022

..is it possible to stop the stock apps auto-updating the moment i connect to wifi? only third party apps seem to consistently respect the setting in google play store?

i mean, beats ios where first party apps don't update independently from the os at all, but i was hoping to save the packages with "raccoon" and install with adb for some measure of reproducibility/so i have the option to revert to an older version.

am i insane? is there a better way to do this? lol

@a just in terms of shape? or layout/functionality/usage/etc?

@kqct mainly shape and whether it feels similar to hold i guess? ik the software and guts are very different, which is probably for the best 😅
