Not what you expect: iPhone 16 Pro Max vs Pixel 9 Pro

[@urban94]

"only 5 years of updates" is truly a sentence that would sound bizarre a few years ago

[@arondyte318]

I’ve had both. I returned the Pixel 9 Pro XL because while it generally took the better shot by a small margin in auto settings, the updated photographic styles of the 16 Pro Max completely outdoes it in versatility. Going to pick up my Vivo X200 Pro in about two weeks and see how that performs 🎉

Mir wurde gerade dieses Video vorgeschlagen. Als ich das Thumbnail gesehen habe, dachte ich zuerst, dass da irgend ein unbekannter Kanal von iKnowReview geklaut hat. Als das Video dann gestartet ist und eine deutsche AI generierte Stimme angefangen hat über ein Video von Kilian zu quatschen, war ich maximal verwirrt. Es hat ein paar Sekunden gedauert, bis ich erkannt habe, dass es Kilians englischer Kanal ist und die deutsche AI Stimme von KZbin generiert wurde.

1:55 Your Pixel seems to still be on Android 14, what if you updated it to Android 15 and tested the battery life

[@tizen_os]

it would still def be a lot worse for sure

[@martingodske3301]

Its even better than what it was on Android 14. I'm running Google Pixel 9 XL from day one, and its been getting better and better. And its not even because it was bad from the start

[@tizen_os]

@martingodske3301 yeah i noticed that on my pixel 7 pro too lol it got better every day i thought i was going crazy

[@OrbitTech]

It is running Android 15. Some of the Shots are a little bit older (from Pixel 9 Pro review)

[@bulolo_wilber]

@@OrbitTech My bad, however about the SoC, I'm thinking the switch to TSMC and Imagination Technologies for the GPU will help the Pixel 10 compete much better with 2025/2026 flagships in a way that the average consumer would be satisfied by, maybe a better and much more AI(Gemini) for the cherry on top.

I use iPhones since 2017 and also program applications for it. Despite owning a 14 pro and my love for iOS. I will still prefer Pixel in 2024/25 due to how practical the benefits are. iPhone has great set of features which are overkill or too niche (photographic styles, log recording, pro res, overpowered chip). But they don't have that tangible effect/benefit provided to a normal consumer.

[@TheBoss-zb4ye]

I’m undecided need a new phone have iPhone, sort of bored with iOS, but know it is dependable how is the camera on pixel and do you know anyone that has a Pixel 9 Fold?

Got an iPhone 16 PRO Max then tried friends Pixel 9 PRO XL and was blown with the Pixel. The camera better and AI just amazing and just does everything so smoothly. Traded in my IPhone 16 PRO Max and got the Pixel 9 PRO XL..best move ever. Btw Pixel screen in bright sunlight is totally amazing!

Se te olvidó hablar del vídeo boost . Si si tienes que esperar pero dime cuánto te duras en editar el vídeo en formato pro res 🙄🙄 exacto lo mismo que el pixel se dura el procesar el vídeo boost en la nube.

[@vandervaught]

editar un video en pro res te da la facilidad de dejarlo como quieras, darle la emocion que quieras, el video boost te da un video de "calidad", falsa por lo demás, pero no te deja cambiar colores o darle el tono que quieras porque no tiene la misma cantidad de información, es un video en mp4 básico, el pro res es para gente que sabe de edición de video, el video boost es para los que solo suben historias a instagram kdjfbgkdjfbg

[@IncredibleMortals]

That’s true. I misremembered. It’s the new iPad Pros that now start at 256GB. But when making a video, you better fact-check everything before publishing, which in my case would’ve made me realise that the iPhone Pros start at 128GB.

[@epicnicity916]

​@@IncredibleMortalsyou're actually right if you're talking about the pro max, it starts at 256gb

[@IncredibleMortals]

@epicnicity916 How about that, guess I was right thanks

[@RoyMelendez07]

The one thing that drives me insane is that when you turn off the android phones and turn them back on, all notifications are gone and you have to go into the settings and find the notification history. iOS doesn’t have that problem. I hope they copy iOS on that one day soon. 3:50

[@davitvardanyan399]

iPhone is 8gb RAM not 12gb

[@jcardenas48292]

If I were to spend the money, it would be on the iPhone 16 Pro, and here’s why: the iPhone has a proven track record of aging gracefully, maintaining its performance over time, and holding strong resale value. Meanwhile, the Pixel’s price drops significantly within a year, its Tensor processor has a history of underwhelming performance, and it lags behind even Snapdragon chips in power. Simply put, the iPhone is a smarter long-term investment. But I still wouldn't pay that kind of money for any damn phone On eBay I have seen the pixel 8 BRAND NEW for $340 That is the better buy

[@ronaldbmaghilum]

Here in the PH, 16 is way way expensive.

Until Google stops selling Android users’ info to third party companies, I’ll stick with iPhone for the foreseeable future. Apple might be storing my info and use it for analytics, but at least that ain’t going to advertising companies.

[@stanford19]

I disagree a little bit even though the iPhone won. I think that iOS is more than the experience of the notifications, Apple products talk to each other in ways you can't get anywhere else. That's why we are always talking about the ecosystem. Then app performance on iOS is just superior to Android because the apps are more optimized, so battery really becomes a thing. Then when it comes to the camera, there is a reason why most if not all content creators use iPhones. Every flaw you mentioned is something that affords a creator creative freedom to apply their look or filter because the image is not already so processed; and while we're at it, you didn't talk about Photographic styles which are not filters but actually bake in the look of the picture into the photo itself without losing quality (which means you can make the pictures contrasty like the pixel or something in-between as you wish). That means on an iPhone, even non technical users can customize the aesthetic of their pictures once and for all and really establish their brand identity. Every content creator with a pixel will have very similar looking stuff. Then about value, iPhones keep their resell value for significantly longer which means even after two or more years you can be paying 1/4 price to get the latest iPhone via swap and top because your iPhone will still be fetching so much money on the market. Another area I see overlooked is how secure your phone is in the event of a theft for example. Does the Pixel have anything like Find My? How about things like iMessage since we're talking about software? FaceTime? Apple Music? Apple TV? Apple Podcasts? Books app? Security and richness of the App Store? Reducing iOS vs Android to notification preferences is lazy.

[@katinasoutherland7693]

Brovo, I really did appreciate reading this well said comment. I agree with all you've said. Thank you again!

[@eando97]

Pixel does have FindMy-like features, RCS on Pixels is similar to iMessage, FaceTime can be done on Pixel (or use one of many other apps), Apple Music/TV are available on Pixel, and Pixels are encrypted and regularly scan all apps to ensure they’re safe. Most creators use iPhone because iPhones have historically been more optimized for social media upload quality (something the Pixels are now as well). Also because video has historically been better on iPhone and still is (but not by as much these days). Hopefully this didn’t read as argumentative. Just wanted to add to the conversation.

[@rishabhsingh9817]

Pixel just added a Find My feature, no one uses iMessage outside of U.S, KZbin Music is available natively on Pixel, Apple Tv can be installed if that's your things. Android has become much safer than it used to be.

[@humphreymadlala4462]

@eando97 Well said.

Face ID dusts pixel face recognition, your take on that point seems biased

[@ahsookee]

Nah, the G3 and G4 use a very advanced version of 2d facial recognition that's insanely fast. I tested that on Android 15, it's infinitely better than Samsung's for example. The only advantage apple still has is in pitch black environments, even in darker ones the pixel does well because of the ambient light from the display And since Google enabled support for unlocking financial apps with face recognition not long ago it seems to be statistically reliable enoguh

[@pcmasterrace2306]

So much misinformation in this video! Pixel's face unlock is nowhere near as secure, convinient and good as iPhone's. You make it sound like they're the same and as Pixel also have fingerprint scanner, it wins in this category? Also, in most of your camera samples, the iPhone performed better.

[@yoyobear2127]

I love everything about the Pixel 9 Pro compared to its Apple and Samsung counterparts. However, their processor is horrible, so I have to stick to a Samsung for now. They shouldn't have released the 9 when their chip can't even compare to other flagships. They do have the best operating system and design though.
