iPhone or Google pixel?

Had iPhones for at least 15 years and I actually really like how they work. My current iPhone 11 is about to die, plus has zero storage left, so looking at getting a new one. The temptation to just get a more up to date iPhone is strong, as I know I can set it up exactly the same as this one, without having to mess around either a million passwords etc, but I’m also really tempted by a Google pixel, however that would be harder to set up, as I believe you can’t transfer password from Apple to another device without a MacBook (which I don’t have), plus all my photos which are arranged in albums would just go as a bulk and all my notes wouldn’t transfer I don’t think.

I do have a Google Chromebook, which I get on well with, so I’m fairly confident I’d like how they work pixel works, but can’t decide if I can be arsed setting up a new phone 🤣

(Should probably add I have a brain injury, which makes me a bit resistant to learning new things!).

Has anyone made this switch recently and found it easy?

Thanks!

My DH has just decided to make the switch from iPhone to Pixel but it hasn’t arrived yet so I don’t know how easy the transition is! He’s done a fair bit of reading and reckons there are apps to help with the transfer but we’ll see. Tbf I’m a committed iPhone user but the Pixel looks really good value for money
