I chose a Pixel 9 pro XL this year for the first time ever and i have no regrets so far! I was an iPhone 14 Pro Max user. I was going to buy the iPhone 16 pro Max but i decided to give the Pixel a chance : so glad i did!

Personally it's a coin toss and really dependent on which OS you prefer and what you want to do. Personally I'm on team Pixel but my daughter uses the iPhone 16 and she loves it. So I don't think there is a wrong answer, just personal preference.

No one ever talks about security features in these phones like Google Pixel have built in VPN and AI detects spam calls, messages, emails

Just switched to a Pixel 9 after 10 years of iPhones, and I'm amazed how similar the Pixel is to an iPhone now. Both the Android OS feels like iOS, and the body of the phone feels like you're holding an iPhone. The only bad point with the Pixel 9 is a worse sounding external speaker, but on the flip side the hole punch camera is much less intrusive than the huge 'island' on the iPhone.

When you placed the phones side by side, the pixel has away nice, modern colour quality compared to iPhones purple.

[cprtrain]

I've had the Pixel 9 for 2 months. Love it.

[eliebader]

Have you seen the beautiful Pink color and the epic Green color on the Pixels?

[kittleeagle]

Google Pixel 9 being $579 from Mint Mobile with a year of Free Unlimited Service is a great option!

We're in the 3rd year of Pro Motion iPhones and the base model is still stuck on 60hz. At this point, I just think the base model iPhones will never get 120hz, same way the base iPad and iPad Air haven't got 120hz after 7 YEARS of the iPad Pro having it. I will be very shocked if the iPhone 17 suddenly has 120hz, they are going to stretch this out as long as possible and normie iPhone buyers wont care.

[nauvalmuhammad]

Agreed. I ditched my iphone 15 after 2 months usage and excited withy current pixel 9

[marksouthwell]

Both great devices. All boils down to which ecosystem one prefers

[prime]

Pixel 9 is better mostly bc it’s android, only thing it lacks behind is gaming but idc I have a pc for that.

[fightnight]

Pixel 8 256gb is $509 right now and it has 120hz display and gets 6 more years of OS updates. Great value if you are fine with Android OS

[daledevernon]

The base model iPhones this year are far more capable and feature rich than previous years devices and even spec levels are closer than ever to the pros so for the majority of people I think this is the one to get, especially in teal.

[jaws]

They both have pros and cons.
It's whatever you prefer.

iPhone does not offer a slot for a physical SIM card any more. When you travel outside the US, a slot is very useful as all countries support physical sims.

[dimejoe]

Pixel is actually looking interesting after a long time now imo✌🏻 they have to work on their processor, battery(optimize/charging speed), few tweaks on camera processing👍🏻

[JKHYT]

1:42 okay, but regular people DON'T care about 120 Hz, it is what it is. I had my wife try 120 and 60 back to back (my phone vs hers) and she said she can barely tell a difference - "a little bit I guess but I wouldn't pay extra for it" were her exact words. Only phone nerds care and Apple knows that.

[robocobrabot]

The performance benchmarks are very important if you are really expecting 7 years of updates. That 120 hz display won’t matter much if the whole system is slow.

[salexa]

So, it’s not even close…..but it’s pretty close.
