A Google fanboy. An Apple nut. Each has only ever used one smartphone platform. What happens when two people step out of their comfort zones and trade phones for a week? Ian and Lilly swapped their Pixel 3 and iPhone XS to see what life is like on the other side of the ecosystem divide.

Update 2019-09-09: After the episode was published, Lilly discovered that iOS allows you to set Do Not Disturb for a set period of time by Force Touching on Do Not Disturb in the Control Center.
