Left the iPhone ecosystem today.

Welcome to the darkside. Jailbreak early, jailbreak often.

In favor of what? I left iPhone a year ago in favor of a Samsung Galaxy S8. I regret nothing. I still rely on Apple for purchased movies and TV.

Pixel 2. I'm digging the first few hours.

I was thinking about this when Verizon had their in-store sale. Then I was told that since they got rid of subsidies I'm still paying more than I did for my last phone, on top of like $80 for an "upgrade fee." Fuck that. See also: Verizon using locked bootloaders, so you can't jailbreak.

Leaning towards getting a used LG G6 that I can then put Lineage on. Or maybe if I really want to go hardcore, an unlocked Pixel (2) XL and Copperhead.

I use ATT, so I had to order it direct from Google. Probably better than if ATT carried it.
