Does anyone use both an iPhone and a Pixel with GrapheneOS? (self.android)

I'm looking to buy an iPhone 15 when it comes out. For those that also have a Pixel, what are some things that each phone does completely better than the other?

I was thinking of using the iPhone as a phone first, and having the Pixel as just a Personal Smart Device that I can use to do sideloading, emulation, file organizing, and other productivity and entertainment stuff, maybe even social media like having Mastadon and Lemmy there, maybe Signal too.

Whereas I'll have the iPhone for calling, texting, streaming, CarPlay, News, and Apple Watch stuff.

What are some other things I can segment?

(There's a lot of content and apps available on both, but I'm wanting to know if there's anything that's visibly or marginally better on either device that you've noticed)

  1. I use localsend. Can send between my Android, iPhone, and Desktop easily. I also have a "Copy Paste" telegram group. When I send something to the group, it appears on all my devices. I kind of like this because I have a history of all my links, pics, files, etc and I can just do a search if I ever need to go back and find something. Also, Photosunc is like $6 a year and anytime I take a pic it auto backs it up to my desktop server via SMB.

  2. You can use a flash drive now with thunderbolt to usb-c converter I believe.

  3. I don't use any apple services except for iMessage, Facetime, and Apple Pay (to accept payments). So no iCloud, Apple Music, Apple Care, etc. None of that garbage.

  4. I carry both. I've been doing it so long that when I have one and not the other, I feel naked. 2 phones and my Keys, everywhere I go.... except the gym. I only bring my iPhone then.

  5. Sure no problem. You may be used to reddit. People are a bit nicer over here :)

I've seen USB-C flash drives, do you think those would help too.
