I bought iPhone 16 Pro Max and i was disappointed, returned after 9 days and bought the pixel 9 pro XL with buds 2 pro free..., Snappy and ignoring the benchmarks for real world usage, its more substantial than iPhone 16 pro max.
Both are very good phones. I used pixel 7 for the last 3 years and it is an absolute beast. I just bought 16 Pro Max and It feels great so far. The Pixel and the IPhone are very responsive and smooth devices it’s up to you what you prefer, that clean android experience or that smooth animations with the iPhone. For me both phones are very good and satisfying to use.
After being an iPhone user for years, I have to say that my Pixel 9 Pro XL is a damn good phone and as of now, I don't see myself going back to iPhone as my primary. Maybe the 17 series but if it is anything like what the 16 Pro/Max was, I will pass again and keep my 14 Pro, as my back-up.
For people that have the new iPhone 16 Pros. That ESR Amorite screen protector is complete trash. You get horrible rainbow effects all around the edges and it doesn’t cover the bezels. The only good thing is the install process. Just pay the extra cash and get the Belkin one that Apple sells as you don’t get those issues.
@@tracyhudson3882 I don’t know your experience on androids or apples I’ve had the whole Apple ecosystem and I’ve had a iPhone since the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 15 and I’ve had a android since htc android 1 came out this is my opinion I’ve always personally felt android has been easier to use than iPhone and the last few years iPhones are not that super reliable os cause they have been bug ridden and takes a lot of updates to squash them and android which is funny has been more stable plus iPhone is stale not much new but a camera button that’s not really needed. Again my opinion if everyone thinks Apple invented everything and does everything but that’s your opinion you need to feel great about your purchase that’s fine too.
@@tracyhudson3882That’s the thing about people they hate something so much they don’t see the problem with the thing they are so adamantly defending. It’s pure arrogance and denial. Whether it’s Apple,Samsung, or Google or any other phone/device, one will hate the others and brag about it.
I have the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Very happy with it. IMO Apple has gotten to button happy with their phones. The new camera control button, I think, is an unnecessary gimmick. Be interesting to see if it sticks around or goes the way of the context sensitive function keys on the MacBook pro.
You don't need powerful chips for smartphones these days and age. Most of the cool stuffs are being processed in the cloud. That is what Pixel 9 is doing. Amazing!
When someone reviews the cameras on pixel snd iphone sbd when they say iPhone has the more natural look i know its biased. iPhone over saturated photos even when pixel processes a photo it doesnt do that.
After using the Pixel 9 and the iPhone 16 Pro I have to say both feel good, run great and look awesome. The Pixel has less customization options in its stock for them the iPhone at this and the iPhone have a great chip set. I would get what you feel comfortable with. I have a lot of Apple products but I prefer the Pixel as it takes me less taps to get a simple task done and the UI more consistent than the iPhone. You will be happy no more what phone you choose.

@@joyjeetpaul2218 hard to say, the s24 ultra is a rock solid phone but it’s overkill for most people. I think the pixel is a more practical device that has a better camera system, but time will tell how it performs over time. Got to give the edge to the ultra for now.
Yes iPhone 16 PRO Max half baked...just this week I saved my friends 16 PRO Max with reverse charging from my Pixel 9 PRO XL! Something so basic iPhone can't do.😂...you stated having so much fun with my Pixel!
@@Marz333 when you need emergency battery boost you don't have a cable and or a charge!! LOL LOL! So the Pixel 9 can help you without any cables or charger!!
@@rico4youtrue but also holding 2 phones together for very long periods just for a few % of charge isn’t very convenient in comparison either, at least with a cord we can both use our devices freely while they charge eachother
I'm tired of hearing viewers say the pixel phones aged bad or slow down and they only use the phone for review. I want one reason why I should upgrade my pixel 6 before anyway say anything Im techie and have high end gaming PC I know what fast and smooth is and I did used iPhones before the pixel 6 since the first iPhone.
changed from pixel 8 pro to iphone 16 pro and I gotta say, software wise android is years ahead of apple. Ai, simple things as when you charge you're battery it displays how much time is left, etc. however the hardware and simplicity of iphone can't be beaten. It's proven too, that you can hold on to an iphone longer than android device. So if you want good hardware (that won't brake after an year or 2) go with iphone. If you want innovation and latest software features go android.
There’s a slight caveat to this tho, yes right now Google has the AI software but i don’t think it’s going to be more advanced. Apple isn’t advertising AI intelligence for no reason eventually it will come through an iOS update. When it does it will more likely be alittle better than the Google simply put because the device is going to run it more efficiently. As of right now all i see is a slightly larger camera for Google a bigger battery that will probably last longer maybe not live as long as the iPhones but your phone won’t die as quickly. Google has better edge designs. Other than that apple has the better specs. AI will come and I’m not even an iPhone fan
Google and samsung are promising 7 years of major os update,i mean these phones will last as much as an iPhone.what you mean by 2 years?every mid range of flaghsip android phones will last you a lot of years without a doubt
Its design is not based on the iphone ....it takes 5 secs to google the pixel fold and you literally can see jts based on that design ...this is the 3rd video ive seen say this is a iphone copy cat
I got an iPhone because everyone made fun of me for having an android now i regret my decision mainly cuz IOS system is more difficult for me compared to the pixel android system idk I just find a lot of little things I hate about IOS, only good thing is I don’t have to buy a new phone since there is a high chance that the next iPhone will look the same as the ones that came out 5 years ago😂 I will say I like IPhone camera I feel pixel makes me look way to pale for my dark skin azz and I rather see what I actually look like
Switching to pixel 9 pro hopefully this year or next year had this iphone 13 for 2 years now this phone is simply boring switching back to android again
At the same price iPhone offers way more.Better chip,overall better cameras,better build,better animations and what not! Pixel is just evolving. Even the raw performance of iPhone 13 is better than pixel 9 pro. So no comparison here!
You guys are going way overboard google ai is much better and Apple uses chat gpt and google when it can’t handle things why is that cause Apple has a way to go to catch up lol way better camera that is subjective many won’t agree video Apple has the edge for now but for how long the gap is getting much smaller
JSL snap gen 3 is better at gaming then 18 pro the snap elite is even better and more powerful then a18 pro so no ur wrong it is not the most powerful lol
pixel has a really bad post sales service you won't get anything from a simple cover to tempered nothing is avl by the time youll find a cover chances are you may have dropped it many times because the Design sucks and is super slippery and god forbid you ever think of getting a replacement of any part it will break your bank cus your barely get any spare part for google so never buy a google phone no mater how good it may look
None of both. The so hyped Google 9 gives you virtually no setting options in the standard ones. Why the crappy search bar or the useless at a glance bar? AI? Why not make it simple like Samsung does it, instead for everything to have to use Gemini? It's just a boring phone.
Jsut looking st processor power is somewhat useless now unles your doing high amounts of gaming. When it comes to pixel it has way more real world use featurs with their ai and voice assist. Apple intelegence is only catching up the be old google assist where it will tell you the answer rather than sending oyu a weblink. They are a generation behind and selling s phone based on features that are not even out yet but esw the head line in the keynote

Been using iPhone for years tried Samsung didn't get on with it then got Google pixel 9pro xl and love it never going back to iPhone 😂
How small are your hands though, the iPhone 16 Pro isn't that big.
Yea, same as P9P. Might have to move up to pro max.
The phones are the same size screens just letting you know, Google has a bigger battery which makes it bigger but the screens are the same
Just went into the store to check out phones and DAMN the pixel 9 pro’s screen is gorgeous
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL will become VERY VERY POPULAR in London UK and New York USA
