So, this is me being kind of a smart ass. My main phone is an iPhone 16 Pro Max and I enjoy using it. I also have a Galaxy S10 I mainly use as a cosplay prop. Android customization lets me do a few things iOS can’t, and I don’t want the Animal Crossing case on the iPhone. Plus, the Galaxy was free. And it’s cool to have both.

I wanted to be romantic and have my phone tell me how many days I’ve been married. “Hey Siri,” I ask, followed by asking how many days since the date I got married. That isn’t important, privacy and all that, but I gave the date. Siri offered to Google it. Huh?

So for the hell of it, I powered on the Galaxy. “Hey Google,” I started. No dice. Then I remember this phone has a Bixby button. Bixby got no love when it was new, n but whatever. Permissions granted. “Hey Bixby,” I start, and ask it the same question. And it just tells me.

I still like the iPhone better. My next phone will be an iPhone. If I had to get a phone right now, it would be a green iPhone 17 — I don’t think I need Pro now. And I really don’t care that Siri is so incompetent. It used to be better. I used to like asking it what zero divided by zero was, before the Cookie Monster/“and you have no friends” quote was deemed politically incorrect. Other than that, it’s not a factor.

Still wild that the 2019 Samsung didn’t have to Google a day count though.
