Gemini is like a real person....Siri is still a robot! That's the difference.

[mehradnasiri]

there's nothing I hate more than Siris voice when it says here's what I found on the net like I couldn't have looked it up myself smh

Just got my pixel 9 pro xl yesterday... First time pixel user and I can't keep it out of my hands....I love a phone with a lot of features and this one has a lot to offer

[christopherskraba]

This wasn't satire? As a Pixel user, I'd like to know what Pixel he's using that has the spec sheet that beats the iPhone. That intro implying the Pixel has a faster processor? Lol. Pixel has the intangibles that iPhone's spec sheet doesn't have. I haven't had a spam call since my first Pixel 6. Call screening is a life saver. Notifications actually work as intended. This was hilarious to watch.

[lakerfanjr]

It's so refreshing to see a tech reviewer not just repeat the talking point on how video is always better on iPhones. That gives you credibility in my book.

[jamescassar]

This channel is so underrated. Videos like this really stand out for the rest. Up there with Mr mobile in my opinion!

[alanrodriguez]

Still to this day love watching all your videos, and also still remember the day I met you in Vegas while working

I didn't even know that Gemini can do that. I tried it just now and it's crazy how you can just talk to it like a normal person and it replies like a person.

Watching on the Pixel 9 Pro XL
It's absolutely perfect for me, it does everything while looking beautiful 😍
I haven't found one negative point other than the £1.100 pricetag 💀

App developers have begun to work more closely with Google on Pixels. It started with Snapchat on the Pixel 6.

I really like iPhones. But I can't make the switch from android for 2 reasons I never hear anyone point out. 1-Google maps timeline tracking I really like. Use it for work to show where I was when. I can't get google maps on the iPhone to track me well. I think apple limits background processes to save battery and it affects the tracking. 2-Google messenger and the google phone app do really great jobs at screening out spam texts / calls. I get far more spam texts / calls come through on the iPhone. AI is nothing I really care about.

[WinterSoldier]

Jon, I always look forward to your clear, concise, balanced videos. They always cover what I want to see. Any chance you are covering the Pixel 9 Pro Fold before Xmas? I have one and I am in love with it. I also have the 9 Pro XL, but I find I really miss the Pro Fold after a few days on the 9 PXL. Love what Google did as an upgrade here.

I'm new to iPhone with the iPhone 16, after having the Pixel 3a and Pixel 6a and iOS is a hot mess.

The keyboard is the worst part, followed by the Messages app that is inconsistent and buggy.
Messages issues:
- Voice messages that get stuck at 00:00 when using the shortcut icon on the right of the text bar.
- Screen goes off when sending a voice message and stop recording
- You can drag right text and images to reply but not voice messages
- No giffs
- Video playback is terrible

The keyboard is abysmal:
- no comma or dot in default layout
- no number row
- hold a letter to access special signs (like í instead of i) sometimes takes so long
- autocorrector is terrible, more so with more than 1 language
- if you turn off autocorrector, the suggestions are terrible
- sometimes you can't hide the keyboard, or it's not obvious like in Android
- no giffs either
- no clipboard history
- multi lingual support is terrible despite the 18.0.1 update that finally brought bilingual support

I've other bugs or issues like:
- I created family sharing to share things with my partner and now her iPhone's hotspot has my name on it..."myname IP" says
- I'm getting more spam calls. Google stopped them are warned me, and even if it didn't say Spam i could use the call screen feature
- you have to be very intentional with iOS, pull down the notification from the top bezel, the same to push up the notifications having to do it from the complete bottom of the screen, same with some gestures that stop half way through if you are not intentional. Pixel OS is more effortless, easier one handed too.
- Notifications are not good compared to Android

I almost switched back to Pixel but there are things I like about my iPhone, Watch Series 10 and iOS:
- FaceID works very well, much better than my partner's iPhone 12
- Password Managers work better than in Android, and in combination with FaceID, it's more seamless again
- I like that the updates come to all devices in all countries at the same time
- The shopping experience, and Apple Care and quality control is top notch
- I love the 1nit screen of my iPhone 16
- Apple Watch wake up alarm is so good, with varying haptics and always works. My Pixel Watch 2 + Pixel 6a Bedtime syncing was a hot mess.
- Apple Journal app is great
- Apple Watch rings gives more motivation than my Pixel Watch, and I'm enjoying sharing with my friend and partner
- Apple Watch has more years of updates than the Pixel Watch and better repairability
- Apple is more serious about supporting their hardware long term than Google (Google is terrible at this)

Pixel has awakened my inner photographer! I find myself taking more spontaneous shots now, compared to when I had an iPhone. I tried to match the colors on my iPhone 16 Pro to the Pixel, but the Google Pixel’s colors are just so much better! And also trying to adjust the tone and color on that little square on the iPhone screen is so frustrating

[buk]

I have 16 pro max, s24 ultra and 9 pro xl. My fav is the 9 pro xl.

[rutvikreddy]

I love the PIxel! But this video seems super biased. iPhone is blazing fast, the processors aren't comparable, I am also no camera nerd, but the 5x telephoto looked just as good on both phones, in fact I preferred the iPhone shots more. Video was actually not that good(at least your demo) and the video in the iPhone is objectively better, audio is better, more reliable and heats up the phone a lot lesser. I daily drive both phones(office and personal) and prefer the pixel for most things but iPhone camera overall has been way better and much more reliable. Also, I am 7 months into using the iPhone 15 pro and just 2.5 months in with the Pixel 9 Pro but the iPhone still feels faster and less laggy. I still love the pixel more because I prefer Android over iOS but hardware crown goes to Apple hands down.

[rezaulkarim]

Having the power button on top of the volume button is much more practical. I am a long-term pixel user, and I have used the volume button much more than the power button.

On android phones, Power button, apart from the On/Off function, doesn't serve functions that warrants frequent use.

[Tony_A_]

awesome review of these devices. As an iPhone user... Im very impressed with what Google's doing. Feels like Apple is being left in the stone ages once again.

[BlackhawkTDI]

Over the two (I own the P9P and the 16 PM), I prefer the 16PM for daily use, but the P9P definitely has my heart as well.

[Xaphtr]

Very informative and useful content. Not biased, just honest opinion. ❤
