I hope they make it closed source and make us much money out of it as possible for shareholders that is their job and their duty, why are they giving this away for free they have already captured market share by claiming opensource and building a community now all they have to do is make it proprietary and the old opensource version slowly wither and become unstable, then they can charge money for the operating system just like mircrosoft but this time on phone millions and billions of phones, $$$$$. /S (I obviously do not agree with this)

As much as I - a Pixel 7 (GrapheneOS) user - would hate that, doing so would essentially put Android on equal footing as iOS and would give me a serious reason to consider switching to an iPhone. Apple's hardware is just so much sleeker, faster, and better than Google's mediocre Pixel line.

On the other hand I was recently testing a friends pixel phone and was shocked by the speed and integration of Gemini.

It’s important to compare apples to apples. Certain phone models have different CPU’s etc. I’d love to see a benchmark of iPhone 16 Pro Max vs Pixel’s top of the line model.

It's not going to be possible because Apple hasn't come out with an equivalent to Gemini. It would be like if Siri also had full LLM conversation capabilities, and access to all your documents/email/etc, and direct integration to run web searches, analyze web pages, etc. And it's fast enough to have a real-time conversation[1], as if you were speaking to a human on the phone. Oh, and that's on my Pixel 7, which is two years behind.
