...is it possible to clone my pixel6 to a pixel9?
...I mean, couldn't I mount it over a data cord, use ```dd``` to create an .iso (or .img), then use ```dd``` again to burn it to a new pixel?
🤔

Not 100% certain, but I dont think that is possible. But could be wrong.
dont you just use the System -> Backup tool?
No.
No, for multiple reasons. First of all each android device has fully custom firmware specific to that model. Second of all modern phones encrypt and use a TPM like chip. If you were to DD not only do you have an incompatible OS you'd end up with broken apps. Even specialized android backup software with root that ports your apps including their data can have corrupt profiles as a result and then you need to reset those apps and start fresh anyway.
