1.37" is still not bad for a tag that size.

Never mind the length, whatās the circumference?

itās not the physical aspects of the tag, itās how you use it.

Indeed. By far the best toothbrush Iāve owned, my oral hygiene has been much better since I bought it.
Their app could use a little tweaking, but itās still cool to be able to have it guide me through each section of my teeth, making sure I donāt miss any spots.

I donāt use the app
I had one of this style a few years ago in Cali. It got stolen from our car.
So my wife bought the 2 for $80 at Costco, and it wasnāt the same. After 3 years of wanting one, I bought one again. So worth it.
Well, good newsā¦ I wasnāt sure I would get full use of the apex since I donāt run Android
But I donāt care what apple is looking for, this whole āscanningā my phones content thing, is waaay to far for me
I miss the ā 
no we wonāt give you a back doorā apple from yesteryear
I see a return to Android in my future, I mostly stuck with it for system compatibility with the rest of the familyā¦ but that shit aināt worth it

The Pixel 6 is looking like itāll be terrific, supposed to come out in 2 months.
Iāve been very happy with my Pixel 4a for the price. Iād say, if you donāt have anything against Google in particular, a Pixel is a good way to go if youāre coming from an iPhone. Itās the only thing comparable to the iOS experience in terms of refinement.
I dunno. Iāve been loving my Note 20. Everything feels so seamless and fluid. That might just be because I came from Huawei though

Specifically whatās good about it?
Honestly, I just want a good nfc, and hopefully top mounted, not middle of the back, thatās just a awkward placement
Pixel phones are as close to a pure Android experience as you can get. They donāt have the bloat and needless stuff that other people throw on top of the OS
That sounds pleasing
What are the chances of getting a nfc unlock happening?
I kinda Accepted I wouldnāt have it on apple but android presents options I suppose
Damnā¦ I WAS looking forward to playing with apple tags
An official implementation? Next to none. Iāve been working on a Tasker script on and off for the past month to allow a secure NFC unlock. Iāll post about it if I can get it completed, but itās a very hacky workaround.
Software upgrades directly from google is the biggest thing for me. Many android phones donāt get updates for up to a year after a new Android version releases, and the length of software support tends to be quite terrible as well. My 4a was guaranteed at least 3 years of updates, and the 6 is supposed to have 5 years. My previous Samsung got only got 2 updates, and my last Motorola (G7 Power) only got one major update.
They also have no carrier bloatware. I bought mine factory unlocked, so thereās no garbage on it, and I can take it to any carrier I want. My previous phone was stuck with Facebook and Uber installed until I rooted it.
Google allows for the bootloader to be unlocked simply in the developer settings, meaning that rooting and third-party ROMs arenāt reliant on some kind of software exploit like with Samsung and KNOX. This also means that even after Google ends support, new ROMs (like LineageOS) can be updated and installed.
The cameras are also insanely good on Pixel phones, even the budget ones. The 4a camera beats the S20 Ultra in some reviews, due to the photo processing onboard, despite being less than 1/4 of the price.
Regarding NFC Unlock: not likely. Thereās some apps that fake it, by having a second lock screen essentially, but this is easy to bypass. The support for it in Smart Lock was completely ripped out. It might be possible with a third-party ROM, but it would be a lot of work. Not sure if anyone is up to the commitment.
Thatās fair, better to temper my expectations now
I knew it wasnāt really a thing anymore but didnāt know the details
Personally weāve been quite happy with OnePlus. No bloat on OxygenOS, and decent long-term support for security updates.
