iPhone 16 Pro vs Pixel 9 Pro: Uncharted Territory

[@BetterValueCharmander]

I will say as a healthcare professional, I use my temp sensor on my 8 pro everyday I work with my pts in the ICU. I frequently take their temp and I have seen doctors as well use the phone at work. I think if Google could put this feature into a line of phones specifically for healthcare and integrate it into the electronic medical record system, hospital systems would buy that phone easily. No other phone does this. It's super accurate now as I've tested it against multiple other thermometers at work. I honestly don't think this feature gets enough hype. I am constantly being asked by my coworkers what kind of phone I have and how much it was. I too, honestly at first thought it was gimmicky but it's something I'm not sure I would want to go without now.

[@TechOdyssey]

Now that it's actually functional and working properly it's much better. But for the longest time it was very useless.

[@BetterValueCharmander]

@@TechOdyssey agreed for sure! So glad they fixed it! Thanks again for all the great up to date info and reviews of pixel products and tech in general. I also appreciate your brutal honesty as I believe that Google, Samsung, and Apple all need that in order to get better for sure!

I use it to measure the temperature of the water before I swim, it's always fun! I also use it when I bake so I don't kill the yeast with the hot butter! I love the feature!

We are in a great place with tremendous choices, Apple, Google, Samsung, and others produce GREAT phones - they each have their own strengths. When I ordered my Pixel 9 Pro, I "future proofed" it by going for 256gb, and it already has 16gb ram (if AI really does take-off). It just suits me 😁. If I was a "gamer" I would gone for a Snapdragon powered phone (the next Samsung probably), or if I was embedded in the Apple ecosystem I would have gone for an iPhone - horses for courses, so to speak 😂. I would have liked the Pixel to have a camera button, maybe they will copy it on the Pixel 10 Pro 😂.

[@TechOdyssey]

@@katinasoutherland7693 I've been under the impression and belief that phones have gotten pretty good at phone call and call quality over the past 20+ years. The Only time I talk about it now is if it's unusually bad, like with the Pixel Fold, I believe I mentioned in my review that the handset speaker was more quiet than I liked and had to hold it in just the right spot. Almost every phone is no issues in this departmentment, and even with my reduced damaged hearing can hear people pretty well, which is why I don't discuss it.

[@Randomness662]

Funnily enough I never thought I'd use the temp sensor but my mini freezer doesn't have an actual thermometer to tell me what the temperature is so I've been using the thermometer on my Pixel 9 Pro to gauge the temperature myself by simply holding the phone inside.

If someone is upgrading from a 15 Pro Max then there’s not gonna be much of a difference but I think for me coming from a 14 Pro Max, there was a enough of a reason for me to upgrade, but I agree with regarding Apple’s handling of Apple Intelligence and them advertising it when it’s not even launched. I definitely like the Pixel 9 Pro XL which from Google’s perspective it’s a bigger upgrade. But for all these doom and gloom about Apple Intelligence, Apple Intelligence will win out imo, because of the focus on privacy, but right now, Apple’s not doing a great job of making people care about AI. And if Apple can keeps Apple Intelligence as free compared to Google making people pay for Gemini after 1 year and the same with Galaxy AI then that will give Apple enough advantage, I care about AI so I’m looking forward to Apple Intelligence when it launches. Anyway great video as always.

I'm a Android fan at heart, but I had such a terrible experience with the Pixel 6 Pro at launch, a lot of software issues, battery overheating out of the box, and then the screen shattered with an beefy case from a 2ft drop. Curved screens suck I'm so happy they've phased that out. I've been using a iPhone 13 Pro Max that has been a champ, everything works as intended even though the OS is lackluster.

Is it possible that apple can also do more with less when it comes to the 8 gb of ram on their iphones ,? Can apple's optimization of their iphone help it out with it only having 8 gb ram?

No long term iOS user is ever leaving for Android. Especially for any Android phone short of a Samsung flagship.

I'm actually getting tired of iOS. I have a Pixel 9 pro XL now and I can say I'll be switching completely over to android once the S25 is released. iOS has worked well for me in the past but it lacks the excitement of the android devices especially being able to bounce between different distributions while keeping the same core system! I didn't like android in the past but I feel that it has evolved. Android pretty much reminds me of why I liked Linux so much!

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

I don't like iphone Island it's huge they need to make it smaller.

[@suzit3237]

Very interesting comparison. Do you think Apple Intelligence will remain free? All of the AI apps that I’ve looked at are about $20 a month after maybe an initial trial.

[@TechOdyssey]

Knowing how Apple is, I can only imagine at some point they will try to monetize it. They may keep these core functions and Siri free, but at some point I bet they will charge.

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

@@TechOdysseyI’m not so sure, Apple would have said already if Apple Intelligence would be eventually behind a paywall, i think Apple will most likely raise the price of future iPhones to cover the costs of their AI, but I would not put it past Apple to monetise their AI.

Samsung needs to follow the route of apple with the pros and pro maxes. Same exact phone but different size

[@segunthepikachufan1470]

Ever since DJ Koh got promoted, we haven't gotten a good baseline phone. The Plus is the only good one since

[@TechOdyssey]

I agree

[@Matty12333]

Not impressed with the 16 pro max, just doesn't feel much different to 13, 14 and 15 series. Camera should be more than 4k video. Hopefully the 17 series will be better

[@managua-san8075]

I think its obvious what people will choose. If you are already on iPhone, most people aren't even going to consider changing OS and vice versa if you are on Pixel. Only a small minority will switch.

All I want on the Pixel is a 1 Inch sensor , a much better processor and a lidar sensor.

[@youtubingwithyou]

I noticed the Apple commercials all weekend long (ad nauseam) while watching the NFL and the constant mention of Apple Intelligence, which hasn’t even been released yet. In my opinion, this is false advertising.

[@TechOdyssey]

Yup. I agree

[@REnygma333]

My biggest realization is that for the most part these phones hardwarewise do the same thing and even on a software level there's no true difference. Idk maybe ive reached that age where this stuff doesnt. Matter as much

[@thorium9190]

I’m quite happy google copied Apples design it’s a very durable and good looking phone, for me comparing the pixel and iPhone the pixel only has a significantly worse processor but other than that a perfect phone. My other issue is also the abhorrent trade in values after 2 years or so where Android phones have less than half the value of the same age iPhone. I personally tend to upgrade every 2 years.

[@DisasterMaster3K]

I am tired of people criticizing the pixel because of the low geekbench

[@TechOdyssey]

Me too

[@RichardServello]

Google is doing the same trash they’ve been doing and selling lower powered devices and offloading more and more to cloud and locking these software offloaded features to specific hardware, like Microsoft.

[@besovereign2032]

that's the idea that you overpay and then trade in your Apple every 2 years

[@eukatastrophe]

Pixel Watch 3 is actually useful, whereas 2 was not. Way better battery, larger screens, better tracking.

[@abowolewa]

I'm using the Pixel 9 Pro XL and really enjoy it ‼️ I've got no desire to jump 🚢 to Apple! I really appreciate the call screening feature that Google built into the Pixel series phones. You can't get that feature in iOS ‼️

[@johnmac341]

I think Apple is full of it with the ram,Apple could ship AI to all phones and worse case it would work slow both companies rip us off. I just don’t trust Google with my money or my data. Pixel with 16 gigs of ram is liable to be slow in a year. Be careful with Google, I think it is far better to move to Samsung over Google any day. Other ten iPhone the only Android phone I would consider is s24 ultra. Great video, thanks for the breakdown.

[@samuelcarlos4234]

Google never announced it would come with android 15, it was just a guess from the community. They're 2 separate products from the brand. So You can't say the pixel is incomplete because of that.

[@TechOdyssey]

Sure I can. The phone always comes with the OS, barring unexpected delays. You're just using a fringe situation to justify your argument.

I don’t won’t to misquote anyone but I think I heard that the iPhone 16 pro matches up with the M1 or the M2 speed on the MacBook don’t quote me on that but if that’s the case after a while the computers are going to be obsolete.

[@CO8848_2]

Well, the only reason to buy pixel is indeed AI, otherwise it has underpowered processor. The iphone closed wall is what turns me off, basically impossible to even get my own pictures and videos off the phone, and then no multi tasking.
