I guess I should point out I live and work in coastal Georgia.

So I dunno why I have such a different experience. I’m on my phone a lot calling people and using GPS with no overheating issues unless it’s in direct sunlight for too long.

I have a pixel 6a that I use a lot, and it only overheats if I leave it in the phone holder in my work truck when I park in the sun.

What are you doing that causes the phone to work that hard?

I’ve always said “Apple devices ‘just work’ for people who think throwing money at a problem is a valid solution”.

Case in point: Louis Rossmann on why he hates Apple devices

Who the hell uses a phone without a case?

As a parent, my kids are issued Chromebooks by the school for “e-learning days”. I imagine mainly because of cost and ability to be managed remotely.

I only replaced my Pixel 2 with a Pixel 6a because the screen broke. Took it to a repair place and the screen stopped working after replacement.

I had that phone for ~8 years and I hope to get similar mileage out of my 6a.

I have to use Teams, Outlook, and Sharepoint for work.

What kills me about the search functions in all of them is how bad it is. I work for an ISP, and we use identifiers for different services. I can search SharePoint for the unique numerical identifier of a circuit and get multiple results returned.

Granted, the first is usually what I’m looking for, but none of the other returned results have the identifier anywhere in them.

Same for Outlook. So much junk noise returned when searching for anything.

That may be, but then you’re in the unfortunate position of owning an Apple device.
