Small correction: I mentioned that the iPhone has faster wireless charging (in most cases) but this is technically false if you buy the new Pixel stand, with which the Pixel can support 21W wireless charging. Without it, qi charging tops out at 12W while the iPhone charges at 15W on any magsafe charger (which is what I always use for the iPhone thanks to the camera bump) MORE INFO: Pixel 6 Pro 👉 mikeobrienmedia.com/Pixel-6-Pro So are you on Team Pixel or Team iPhone??

Google must have done a poor job explaining the macro on the telephoto to reviewers. Most seem not to know it is there. The reviewers that actually tested macro mode with the telephoto have said it is radically better both in quality and in usability since you don't have to put the phone right next to the object to get the same macro shot.

Because there's no Marco on the pixel ,its just a simple trick , zoom in on an object using the telephoto lens ,which you can literally do with any zoom lens too ,so there's no added advantage, and macro has more details on objects upclose than zoom ,as telephoto lens shakes a lot when you zoom and is comparatively softer than macro so you get less details

@@kushal518 but in case of macro implementation in ultra wide lense had one big disadvantage there is almost no natural blur on the close up shots and most macro shots from those phones look so bad to me, I would personally use that trick and take little bit wider macro with good background blur using telephoto instead using ultra wide for macro.

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel I don't get excited about phones anymore, after watching this comparison I realize that most flagships nowadays offer a similar experience with differences in terms of performance that, in daily use, only if you're nitpicking ever get to notice.

In Australia the IPhone Pro 13 is $1699 while the Pixel Pro is $1299 which is the price I would pay for an IPhone Pro, or an extra $100 to $150 on that price. Apple would sell a lot more iPhones if they cut $100 to $150 off there phones. That will get more people into there ecosystem and stay there if they reduced there prices.

It's interesting how other KZreadrs' samples had worse video stabilization than the iPhone, but here it looks better.

Team Pixel. The night sight setting is awesome. Since it can be turned on at any time of day, I use it all the time. Holds highlights in backgrounds so well especially in selfies as you noted. I am using the 3 so a 6 will be a huge upgrade. Just have to decide between pro and regular. I like the comfortable size of the 6 but don't think I want to be without the telephoto lens.

Photos belong to Pixel 6 Pro easily for me because I like its over-processed and brighter shots. But if only it was not that big.

As always it comes down to which OS you prefer. iPhone 13 speed and battery life is better. Android multitask and customization is better. Camera I feel is more subjective but video is better on iOS. This is coming from someone who uses both. When I was younger, I thought more specs and features were better but now I prefer overall experience and reliability. If iOS had better multitasking and Siri was equal or better to Google assistant, I would probably give up android. Just my opinion.

It all just comes down to preference, these days. Technology is to the point that any phone will get you to where you want to go, or allows you to do what you want with it. Even the “worst” phone wasn’t even comprehensible even 10 years ago. Both phones are phenomenal, and even though I prefer Apple and their ecosystem, the Pixel 6 is fantastic, and if I were to switch, this would be the phone I’d switch to. For a first generation chip, the Tensor is 🔥. Cameras on both are excellent. It’s all just so subjective, and really comes down to the OS and ecosystems you prefer. I love how these companies are pushing each other to do better. The innovation we have seen has been incredible to witness.

I always used to be an iphone user until the pixel 2 XL, which I still use to this day. Amazing phone, definitely my favourite experience with a phone thus far. You will not be disappointed with the pixel 6 pro, it looks like an amazing phone and the user experience with google phones is top notch. Trying to get my hands on one too but seems like I'll be waiting until January with delays here in Canada :(

I don't think enough people talk about system rules on pixel. Like that is amazingly convenient for me. When I go to work my phone automatically switching to do not disturb and when I come home it automatically sets to ring, and when I am driving it's set to mute so music playback isn't interrupted.

Awesome comparison

thank you my friend

Considering getting the pixel because I’m tired of all the issues I’ve had with my iPhone dropping service and they pictures just don’t seem good at All (iPhone 11) I’ve had that phone for two years and my battery health is already in the 70% range. Think I’ll be trying out the new pixel as Samsungs are just too large

Good job Mike, I waited too long to get really disappointed with iPhone 13's not having fingerprint scanner, now option for me is to wait more and get disappointed, buy 13 max and get used with FaceID or stick to iPhone 8 Plus!

Wow that pixel just wow ... I knew they'd pull ahead in photos but that video is amazing so true to life.

I can only assume some units are due camera updates because the test shots I've just taken in the local Currys store were awful. Worse than my pixel 5 .

Iphone XR user here, I prefer the fingerprint sensor very much, with Face ID you have to bring your phone to your face, or, in worse case scenario, bring your face to your phone. Face ID also will not be able to unlock with your head lie upon a pillow or your bed.

I would be willing to pay an extra $100 to $150 over the Pixel Pro price for an IPhone Pro.

Can you do one comparing the Pixel 6 Pro and OnePlus 9 Pro?

The pixel 6 pro would be a no brainer if it was the size or atleast just slightly bigger than the iPhone 13 pro. I don’t want to carry a tablet around for day to day tasks.
