iPhone vs. Google pixel

There has been a never-ending battle between the iPhone and Android since the invention of first Apple iPhone in 2005. Until 2020, there was a pretty sure result that the Apple iPhone was leading here, with several outstanding features that no phone was able to provide at the time. However, the Apple iPhone crop comes into the market each year with several restrictions (no Bluetooth exchange with other androids, specific charging, no application installed except for App Store, etc.) and many advancements ( like advanced camera, AirDrop feature, high security, and SOS satellite feature, etc). Still, customers choose Apple iPhone instead of any other smartphone device.

There was no Android that could beat the iPhone’s luxuriousness until the past few years. However, today we can see many Android phones that can compete with the Apple iPhone flagship series in 2023. Today, different Android phones have become good rivals to the Apple iPhone. Yet, here we are going to discuss a good comparison of the Apple iPhone vs. Google Pixel. The latter is a new hype-created Android mobile phone in the market, purely launched by Google itself.

iPhone vs. Google Pixel; A Notable Comparison

Camera Quality

First thing first, though iPhone had a significant lead even after the release of the Pixel 6 flagship series. However, after the release of Google Pixel 7 Pro, this is undefinable which one can satisfy you with camera results? With the Magic erase, Motion mode and unblur feature the Pixel offers a dynamic range of picture quality. Your skin tone looks brighter and flawless as we had expected from the Apple iPhone series.

Nevertheless, the Apple iPhone is always known for its perfect picture quality and stable video performance. Featuring the night mode and sharp video quality iPhone has already created an exception. The picture quality is also quite decent with good color contrast.

If you want to pick one of them, the decision is so hard to make as both are presenting quality photography. Precisely, the Google Pixel is more adjustable along with different picture editing features. Yet, the Apple iPhone is also not a bad decision in this regard.

The chipset

Neither the Apple iPhone nor Google Pixel equips custom hardware chipsets such as Qualcomm or Media tek but an Abionic 15 CPU and gen-Tensor CPU respectively. 

The A15 comes with 6 GB RAM and a fast working mechanism while Pixel offers 8GB RAM. Yet, the performance is precisely slower than the Apple iPhone.

All the apps including Google Photos, Maps, and Drive are controlled by Google itself. Therefore, undoubtedly they work better on Google Pixel. Yet, iOS users enjoy better third-party apps and games. Also, it guarantees an unbreakable connection with other products like smartwatches, Airpods, Macbooks, etc.

Another reason the iPhone users claim while debating the iPhone’s superiority is its operating system that features longer software updates than Androids. While Google Pixel offers 3 years of updates, at the same time IOS claims to give 5-6 years of software updates.

Although, the software operating system of Google Pixel is far better than many other Androids still iPhone is still unbeatable in this regard.

Battery perks

Obviously, we cannot forget the battery comparison of the Apple iPhone vs. Google Pixel. Where Apple’s previous models feature a 3279mAH battery, the Google Pixel comes with a 4000mAH cell, yet the battery timing is surprisingly less than the Apple iPhone. It is undoubtedly due to silicon chipsets that contain more power in less size.

Coming to the wire, the Apple iPhone is obsessed with lightning cables rather than type C cables, and that’s the main reason behind the slow charging process as well as transferring the of files. The 15W wired charging is seamlessly not good as compared to Google Pixel’s 45W wired, yet still, we are expecting more in the upcoming iPhone 15 flagship series.

If we compare large models like the iPhone 14 Pro Max vs. Google Pixel 7 Pro the battery timing is far better. Nevertheless, comparing it with the small models like the iPhone 14 or iPhone 13 Pro, the Google Pixel is better.

AI voice assistance

When it comes to voice assistance such as Google assistance and Apple’s Siri both perform their routine tasks efficiently such as texting someone, reading notifications, updating you about weather information, and managing your daily tasks. However, the former is better at doing so.

The best thing about Google assistance that creates an exception from Siri is to understand your native language, so translates the speech, reads the text, and creates voice notes for you easily. Surprisingly, you can also search for a song through this AI assistance by just humming a few lines.

On the other hand, SIRI is not able to do most of the above-mentioned features as Apple focuses more on their user’s privacy. Siri has no access to emails, private messages, photos, and users’ personal data.

Price

Previously the price of the Google Pixel smartphone was terribly high, but after the release of the Google Pixel 6 Google has reviewed the prices. Therefore, now the Google Pixel starts at 599$ meanwhile the iPhone except for the outdated mini-series starts at 799$ which is quite shocking. Including the above-mentioned features, there is no significant exception between Apple iPhone and Google Pixel flagships. Still, this type of massive addition in price is shocking for customers.

Along with some additional privileges like Apple TV, iCloud, iMessage, and app store, the iPhone has made its place in the market. Nevertheless, the newly born mobile company Google Pixel still needs years to become an Apple one’s eye. Yet, to ditch iPhone for Google Pixel is a good approach and surely you are not going to regret this.
