The Pixel 7 series is seriously impressive. Google finally made a truly flagship quality phone. But as much as I love Pixels, my iPhone 14 Pro has been amazing and it is my favorite device of the year.
Thanks for adding the PWM section. That’s helpful for me for sure. I never have eye strain on my 13 pro max and I did when I had the Note 10. You’re the first I’ve heard to say battery life is very similar with the slight edge to the iPhone. Makes the Pixel more intriguing!
I have the s22 ultra but that pixel camera is pulling me towards getting that I like my ultra camera a lot I think it's one of the best as far as taking the moon pictures and things like that but regular pictures which is what most people care about the pixel is still the king if you ask me
This was a great review. I'm only actively using my P 7 pro right now. Running both my personal and work sims in one phone. But I really like the 13 Pro Max as well. I feel like the camera on the pixel edges the iphone out and I'm just a little more comfortable in general on the Android side.
Wow… I’m shocked that I preferred EVERY single photo and video that the Pixel 7 Pro produced. The audio was better too. I still don't regret my 14 Pro Max purchase but dang, gotta give Google props for the awesome phone they put out.
@@ESKATEUK huh... You're absolutely right. I have a tendency to use my Note 20 Ultra for most photos and my 14 Pro Max for video. But yeah, the Note 20 Ultra also over processes photos and of course the color saturation is crazy. It's just more pleasing to my amateur eye.
No phone is perfect, and each has pros and cons. The Pixel USP has always been photos and software, and that remains the case. But of course, these are just two metrics, and most of us balance these for what is best for us.
This is such an independent review of both devices, I really enjoyed watching it, keep it up, I'm on team android with my s22 ultra, but the pixel looks awesome and also the stock android 🥰
I switched from a 13 pro max to a Pixel 7 pro last week and it's been a phenomenal decision so far. I have been using most of the features on the 7 Pro and Google is doing a phenomenal job with everything. 13 and 14 series for iPhone does a great job as well.
@@mikeg3644 Honestly one feature that I cannot switch to apple is Call screening and hold for me and the transcript while recording your voice these feature on pixel 7 Pro is really really amazing that's why I refuse to switch to apple and stick with my P7P
@@NightSide22 all of the exclusive features on the P7P are well worth it and Google has been dropping more features as time goes on but I do a lot of speech to text which Is impeccable on the 7 Pro which I love.
Great video. I went with the 14pro max for a few reasons, the main one is privacy, then there is the apple eco system, i love the Ultra and the iPad Pro 12.9, the iPad Pro is much smoother and easier operation vs the Android tablets that i had nothing but issues with, also with apple as you touched on, i get all day battery life on my phone and watch so that is great, for example my ultra has been off charge since midnight when i got up for work, it is currently at 75% battery now, my phone same time off charge and is at 36% percent 19 hours later and not having to be charged. My ipad uses the battery up quick as i use it for waze and my eld as well as to connect my gps app for notifications, traffic and weather on my Garmin Dezl OTR 1000 screen.
It's crazy, I've been a user of Iphone since the iphone 5s all the way up to even the iphone 13 pro, I bought the pixel 4a 5g when it came out just to see what it was like because I tried Samsung and didnt like the texting or all around feel for the operational system. I fell in love with the pixel but always felt the lag of having out dated chip sets and all that so I continued with iphone for main phone up the iphone 13 pro, but after purchasing the pixel 7 pro and after recent updates I have been using it so much as my daily driver that I just sold my iPhone. To each their own and nothing against apple, I guess the eco system of the base android of the Google pixel format mixed with their own chip finally just feels so good to use. I was also following the pixel 6 when it came out and it just had so many bugs that I skipped it and obviously continued with my iPhone, but realizing that Google is a bit behind the other 2 top dogs and still kind of new compared it makes since for them to have a few hiccups, anyways I love they 7 pro and wait to see how the future goes for pixel from here!
Using P7P from iPhone 12 Pro. There are a lot of benefits and plusses but I’m finding that the screen crashes every so often when it’s just about to open apps. Also the auto rotate takes a couple of seconds to kick in at times and battery is about similar to my iphone. I must admit typing is much better on iphone but wanted to try something new and there weren’t enough changes to justify a switch from iphone 12 pro to 14 pro. Just my thoughts.
iPhone for me, since I also own a Mac, and everything works between the two. Also, I've known you've been one of those people who are sensitive to PWM, as am I. I'm considering a 14 Pro, once I figure out if I'll be less sensitive to PWM, than I was on the 12 and 13 that were the non Pro models. Thanks for the video, Aaron, and Merry Christmas.
Since, I’ve been in both ecosystems for quite some time, there’s something about the Apple Ecosystem that I cannot quite comprehend that has made me stay in the Apple Ecosystem for two years now. I had been a part of Android Ecosystem for 3-4 years, with Samsung’s Note 5 being my first ever phone that I got. It was an amazing device, but the display had so many issues! I had it fixed by my father many, MANY times! But, I am in the Apple Ecosystem for two tears now, iPhone 12 Pro was the first phone that my father got for me, alongside an iPad 9th gen; with me later getting AirPods Pro, and an Apple Watch from my collected pocket money. I am just loving being a part of the Apple Ecosystem. It’s smooth, easy to use, and does all the things that I can ask from a device.
Thanks…I appreciate the Pixel 7 Pro and like the picture quality. I like the look and sound of the 14 Pro Max which has been an outstanding experience for me. Blessings on your day!
This is amazing! I’ve been an iPhone user since the iPhone X, and my only complain on many Android phones I’ve tried along the way has been the video department. I’m happy to see that Google is stepping up now, up to the point where it competes against the 14 Pro Max. I’m definitely going to get a Pixel 8 when it comes out, I have a hunch they’ll have all those little details polished by then!
I'm still happy with the dynamic duo I have. The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and the 14 Pro Max fit my needs SO well. I love having my s-pen and expandable storage on the Galaxy and love the messaging and videos I can create with iPhone. They both serve their purpose in slick fashion too.
Great video Aaron! I bought a Pixel 6a as a work phone this year as it had £200 cash back, meaning it cost me £199. For the money it is ridiculously good and really all the phone anyone ever needs to be honest. The pictures are so good too, and it's nice and small and light. But I love my iPhone 13 Pro Max's integration, battery life and everything else about it. If I could get an iPhone the size of the 6a with the battery of the 13 Pro Max that would just be amazing.
I noticed on the 11 that the photo-software cleans the image (for ex. birds high in the sky disappear) and it seams the 14 does it similar. I wish an additional disable option.
I agree that both phones are probably the top for each OS, but I chose Pixel. Why?...Mostly price, but also...I'm pretty impressed with the Pixel 7 Pro camera. Everyone keeps saying that the iPhone is better, but from what I'm seeing in these videos, the Pixel seems to have a more accurate sky color. The sky color from the iPhone seems to have too much "purple" in some of the shots. Also the front facing camera video at 8:45 the sky in the background is much more gray and washed out, while the sky in the Pixel is much more blue. Also the macro mode at 8:35 in the video, the white crystals on the rock are much sharper in the Pixel 7 Pro image. Another reason is the Pixel currently does seem smoother. This video also proves my point that Geekbench scores are not the "be-all to end all" when it comes to phone speed. What is more important is optimization of hardware to software and Google has proven that you don't need a 1800/5500 Geekbench score to have a fast and smooth phone. As for battery life, I don't care if a phone can get an extra 2-3 hours use. If I'm going to be charging my phone every night when I go to bed, and I still have 30-40% battery left, what difference does the extra battery make? All I care about is that the phone can go from 6am to 10pm. If I need extra time without a charge, I can turn on Extreme Battery Saver and get through until the next morning if necessary. How do I know this works? Because I've done this before. I actually tested the Extreme Battery Saver on my Pixel 5 and you can watch the video here: ruclips.net/video/JqrQlszyM04/видео.html And lastly, I chose Pixel because Apple is just too much of a closed OS. If I would have chosen iPhone, I would have only been able to utilize the benefits if I owned other Apple products. I can't send iMessage or Airdrop to my Microsoft Surface Pro 7 PC, Acer Chromebook or Samsung Android tablet. I can't use iMessage on anything but an Apple device, whereas with Android on my Pixel 7 Pro, I can connect it to my Microsoft Surface Pro 7 and send and receive text messages, photos, and websites. I can connect to my Acer Chromebook and reap the same benefits of iPhone to MacBook for connectivity. Pixels work and connect with other manufacturer's devices, whereas in order to get the most benefit from an iPhone, Apple only works with Apple, and Apple is very EXPENSIVE! Even though I can afford Apple, I'd rather spend my money in better ways than making Apple richer. I purchased my Surface Pro 7, Chromebook and Pixel 7 Pro (with trade-in) for less than what Apple charges for just the MacBook Pro 14 inch. Honestly, I don't feel I'm missing a thing by not having other Apple products. Don't get me wrong, I like my iPhone, I just prefer my Pixel 7 Pro more because I can use it with my other devices much better than I can with the iPhone. A prime example is Aaron having to use his iPhone to group chat with his family because they all use iPhones. Why is this only a problem on Apple devices?
@@ESKATEUK not in my experience. It more closely matches what your eye sees due to its dynamic range and also at night doesn’t over brighten. Yes, sometimes it is a little saturated, but in most cases it’s not when I use it.
I've seen many pixel videos , a lot of them have the pixel coming out second best in a lot of camera areas , and in fact in some big in-depth comparisons the galaxy actually trumped both the pixel and iPhone in most areas ,but none of them are perfect though , there is no beating a dedicated camera with a tailor chosen lens for a specific job , although that's not the cheap option. all three are good for happy snaps.
After seeing all the positive videos on the pixel 7 pro, I bought one this weekend at Best Buy. It failed to recognize my sim, so I got another one and it still didn't resolve the problem. After doing a quick online search, it turns out this issue is popping up very frequently (for reference, just search for: pixel 7 pro network issues). I'd recommend holding off on buying until they figure out a fix. Great camera though...
Well you answered my question. I was indecisive between Moto, Google or Apple. Methinks now, after watching your video that the Google Pixel is the way to go. Thanks for making up my mind.
I’m a happy owner of the P7P after being with iOS for nearly 5 years, i do miss the “Apple” touch and the overall simplistic feel but the amount of doors open on Android mean i can make the phone my own. I like screen call feature and free vpn.
I was debating whether to get an iPhone 14 Pro Max or a Google Pixel 7 Pro just yesterday. Both of them are more feature rich than I will ever need so it really came down to cost. I decided to go with the Pixel 7 Pro because Google just made a deal I could not refuse. As a Google One member I was able to not only get $150 off the retail price at the google store but I also received a 10% store credit that I can use toward other purchases on their store. In addition Google allowed me the finance the entire cost of the phone at 0% interest. My carrier (T-Mobile) was demanding I fork over $300 up front and then finance the remainder for 24 months for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The monthly finance charge for the iPhone 14 Pro Max was actually more expensive than the Pixel 7 Pro. I have been using Google mail, drive, meet and many other services for years. I am already tied to their ecosystem via other purchases like Chromebooks so it was really a no brainer for me. Apple wasn't even close to deal that I could get from Google!
You can do so much more with android by customizing the user interface with custom launchers such as icon packs layouts, widgets etc. and also even getting rid of date and time display.
I never got caught up in iMessage. Turned it on a few times and meh. It was always green for me. So when I transitioned to Android full time, it was very easy. Don't be walled in, your choices are greater.
I really believe that the iPhone Dynamic island on RUclips videos has a reasonably easy fix. If you pinch outward to the left of the screen, it just barely zooms out enough to fully get rid of that notch. If RUclips made an update that allowed you to slightly zoom out, at least on iPhones, it would fix this issue.
Pixel has been number 1 in photos for years. The iPhone photos are consistently good but not the best. The iPhone still easily beats the Pixel in the video, though.
OMG, the Pixel video and pictures I prefer over the iPhone (a lot). This coming from an iPhone user since 2008. If I wasn’t so deep into the Apple ecosystem the 7 Pro would be a candidate for a new daily. If I were to move to Android it would probably be a Samsung (phone, watch, earbuds, etc.). I’m actually going to pick up a Pixel just for the weekends. My house is run by Google Nest products (outside cameras, thermostat, several Hey Google’s in several rooms, etc.).
Thank you so much for this video. I was sceptical about 7pro and 14 plus. In my country both with the same price, i think 7 pro is the best with an amazing screen and better camera options.
I love the Dynamic Island. When it was released, I thought it was a boring feature. However, now I constantly use the Dynamic Island and it’s a great Quality of Life feature! It’s really awesome.
Pixel 7 Pro at its price is insane. Although I love my 14 Pro Max. Switched from the S22 Ultra seeking better battery life and I got it. And I’m pleasantly surprised how amazing the iPhone does at photography and just daily tasks.
I have a pixel 6 and an iphone 13. Can't go wrong with either camera really. Sometimes I prefer photos from the pixel 6, sometimes I prefer photos from the iphone 13. Each has their own strengths in different lighting conditions. Pixel tends to underexpose on a sunny day, iphone tends to over-expose when lighting isn't particularly good .
@@marksouthwell4490 yup after 13 days with the 6A, I'd backtrack on "so much better." I definitely do still prefer the Pixel style, but it's not like the iPhone is bad. What I don't like about the iPhone is it crushes the shadows and oversharpens a lot of times, especially in low light. Makes the photos look like a painting. The Pixel also has a cooler tone/white balance which I like. But either way both are good of course
@@OmarZ77 hehe mine doesn't do that , as in look photos like a painting. I like the stronger shadows on the iphone, reminds me of photos taken on my Fuji and DSLR . I find auto focus better on my iphone too. Both are good devices with their own qualities. Both are guilty of over sharpening from time to time
@@marksouthwell4490 haha interesting I use a Fujifilm as well, an X-T2. I can see what you mean about the shadows. But yes I wish both phones took images with less sharpening, just like my Fujifilm or any camera does.
I still have my 13 pro max. This year doesn’t seem much of an upgrade for me. My 13 pro max does everything I need. It still lasts a full day easily. Might have to see next year. 14 pro max I believe looks way better in the back, but the display of the pixel for some reason looks better.
I think about the iPhone 14 promax versus google 7pixel pro and I think we need to push for the notification bar should be LED lighting notifications, including with the dynamic Island, 10080 and I think that we should push for 8.9 width
Did u hit the focus button on any of the iPhone pics.cause a few looked like u just need to tap the screen to actually focus on the item you were shooting.weird
A lot of people over here in the UK fell in love with the camera quality of the Pixel 7 Pro, but fell out of love with the thing just as quickly when Google decided to sell the phone with only a maximum of 256Gb onboard memory over here. Utter madness.
@@galerikaban5280 It is a disappointment to me Galeri. The Pixel 7 Pro would be on my shopping list for sure if I could buy the 512Gb version over here in the UK. Now I will be looking to the S23 Ultra. The 1Tb version which Samsung manufactures because they know it will sell to heavy use hobby photographers/videographers like myself . Plain and simple.
@@neilmcguinness4422 i am also passionate about photography but at some point even 1TB is not enough, especially when you save 4k 60fps videos, just saying people who use the phone casually might need only the 256 option, and for us we have to rely on ssd's
Nah I’m ok with photos from phones since last couple of years .. iPhone for overall support and all around features and 7pro feels heavy … though I might buy 7 to someone who uses android
Did you upgrade from deep purple to space black for iphonr 14 pro max because you unboxed it in deep purple but now it is space black. So I am wondering if you have upgraded.
Very nice comparison. Yea I prefer iOS over android, after switching to Apple products .,for me they work and continue to work same way without software updates. Other th No is I find iOS 16 really nice, not experienced any problems so far, over all very happy with IPhone. I think that iPhone pro max is better with photos
Do you think they type of phone we choose to watch this on affects our perception of camera quality? Would iPhone content look more natural on an iPhone vs an android phone?
I’d pick the iPhone ….I love the Pixel but couldn’t be doing with that curved screen ……if the Pro had a flat screen like the regular pixel I’d be all in …..on the Pixel !
I've also noticed my P7Pro seems to take much better photos than my iphone 14 pro max. I just wished I could use the face unlock for security on apps. Really the only thing keeping me from using it as my main phone. FaceID is just way too convenient for things like that
Hi Aaron 😊 I was put off the 7 Pro due to all the bugs I suffered with my 6 Pro. Having bought the 14 Pro Max, I’m pretty happy, the 48mp camera shots are excellent, but I’m a bit disappointed with the 12mp shots. I’ve bought the Reeflex Pro Camera App and I find it’s better than the native camera alone in most cases apart from the 48mp shots. Hopefully there will be a camera update for the 14 Pro Max eventually. Pixel cameras have always been great, but too buggy a phone for me. ❤
For anyone having battery problems in iOS 16.2 specifically on 14 Pro & Pro Max, a big fix for me was to reset and erase everything then putting in DFU mode, and connecting to Finder in Mac(iTunes for Windows) and restore it. The firmware flashed, install later iOS version, then grab it on iCloud backup restore. That alone stoped the ghost notifications problem on 14 pro and other bugs. Battery is insanely better after that “clean restore”. Mine is lasting almost 2 days heavy use on low battery mode. Normal lasts 1 day and half. Really hope this helps anyone with this type of issue!
Both are good, can't go wrong with either. I much prefer the display on the iphone, minus the island. Pixel 7 appears to have a dim screen in manual brightness ( after looking at them in store ) albeit it's auto brightness is pretty good . I don't like curved screens either, reminds me of older Samsung's
I am not the type of people that buy the latest phone. I had a high, medium and low gama phones. Three Samsung the first burned out, the second one had software damage and the third I couldn't open a page without getting tons of virus and glitches. Nothing like happens with my iphone XS max, Iphone SE or Iphone 13. And the thing I was trying to do when I got virus was a pdf converter to word. I want to get a Flip 4 but I am scared that the phone doesn't work in a couple of months.
I'm on team Samsung/Android but I will be switching to the new Iphone Pro model in the new year since they will be finally adopting USB-C in the phones hahaha!
I would love to switch to iphone if they invented a way to communicate with android devices, cause I don't wanna find myself in the future like the guy on the vid not exactly having a choice. It just was always a concern for me with these phones.
Based on the review, I'd prefer Google Pixel 7 Pro than iPhone 14 Pro Max. But, Pixel is not available in the Philippines. I hope they will expand marketing their Pixel phones here at an affordable price.
I bought the Pixel 6a this year, before that a Pixel 4a, before that an iPhone XR. Since I use Windows an iPhone eventually feels a bit limited. If I switch to a Mac then, I'd probably get an iPhone.
I have both, if you’re a user of the phones actual specs like recordings, pics and editing, no doubt the iPhone is the winner but if you not doing anything but normal life things then of course the Pixel is good as well
I went with the iPhone 14 pro because I love Face ID. This video though has me thinking the pixel has a slightly better camera system though. I definitely preferred the pixel stills.
My pixel 6 pro has lots of issues while using RUclips!!Last 4 months RUclips keeps on crashing very often!!Apart from this issue the pixel 6 pro works just fine!!
What is your favorite device of the year? Thanks for watching, it is always appreciated.

Everyone keeps saying that the iPhone is better, but from what I'm seeing in these videos, the Pixel seems to have a more accurate sky color. The sky color from the iPhone seems to have too much "purple" in some of the shots. Also the front facing camera video at 8:45 the sky in the background is much more gray and washed out, while the sky in the Pixel is much more blue. Also the macro mode at 8:35 in the video, the white crystals on the rock are much sharper in the Pixel 7 Pro image.
Another reason is the Pixel currently does seem smoother. This video also proves my point that Geekbench scores are not the "be-all to end all" when it comes to phone speed. What is more important is optimization of hardware to software and Google has proven that you don't need a 1800/5500 Geekbench score to have a fast and smooth phone.
As for battery life, I don't care if a phone can get an extra 2-3 hours use. If I'm going to be charging my phone every night when I go to bed, and I still have 30-40% battery left, what difference does the extra battery make? All I care about is that the phone can go from 6am to 10pm. If I need extra time without a charge, I can turn on Extreme Battery Saver and get through until the next morning if necessary. How do I know this works? Because I've done this before. I actually tested the Extreme Battery Saver on my Pixel 5 and you can watch the video here: ruclips.net/video/JqrQlszyM04/видео.html
And lastly, I chose Pixel because Apple is just too much of a closed OS. If I would have chosen iPhone, I would have only been able to utilize the benefits if I owned other Apple products. I can't send iMessage or Airdrop to my Microsoft Surface Pro 7 PC, Acer Chromebook or Samsung Android tablet. I can't use iMessage on anything but an Apple device, whereas with Android on my Pixel 7 Pro, I can connect it to my Microsoft Surface Pro 7 and send and receive text messages, photos, and websites. I can connect to my Acer Chromebook and reap the same benefits of iPhone to MacBook for connectivity. Pixels work and connect with other manufacturer's devices, whereas in order to get the most benefit from an iPhone, Apple only works with Apple, and Apple is very EXPENSIVE! Even though I can afford Apple, I'd rather spend my money in better ways than making Apple richer. I purchased my Surface Pro 7, Chromebook and Pixel 7 Pro (with trade-in) for less than what Apple charges for just the MacBook Pro 14 inch. Honestly, I don't feel I'm missing a thing by not having other Apple products. Don't get me wrong, I like my iPhone, I just prefer my Pixel 7 Pro more because I can use it with my other devices much better than I can with the iPhone. A prime example is Aaron having to use his iPhone to group chat with his family because they all use iPhones. Why is this only a problem on Apple devices?
The Pixel is definitely more accurate and the dynamic range is better on Pixel for sure when it comes to that.
@@ESKATEUK Really!? Is that why it took first place for phones sold in the USA on the DXOMark website?🤣🤣🤣
@@ESKATEUK not in my experience. It more closely matches what your eye sees due to its dynamic range and also at night doesn’t over brighten. Yes, sometimes it is a little saturated, but in most cases it’s not when I use it.
I've seen many pixel videos , a lot of them have the pixel coming out second best in a lot of camera areas , and in fact in some big in-depth comparisons the galaxy actually trumped both the pixel and iPhone in most areas ,but none of them are perfect though , there is no beating a dedicated camera with a tailor chosen lens for a specific job , although that's not the cheap option.
all three are good for happy snaps.
Bruh really😂 if rationalizing a purchase was a person
After seeing all the positive videos on the pixel 7 pro, I bought one this weekend at Best Buy. It failed to recognize my sim, so I got another one and it still didn't resolve the problem. After doing a quick online search, it turns out this issue is popping up very frequently (for reference, just search for: pixel 7 pro network issues). I'd recommend holding off on buying until they figure out a fix. Great camera though...
Did you purchase the unlocked version?
BTW Aaron your content is superlatively professional and most comprehensive.
Yes it is. I don't like iPhones at all, but I love this channel. 👍🏾
Finally someone did a real comparison with rr3. You got a new sub from India 🙏.
Am so amazed by the Pixel Magic in photography
Well you answered my question. I was indecisive between Moto, Google or Apple. Methinks now, after watching your video that the Google Pixel is the way to go. Thanks for making up my mind.
I’m a happy owner of the P7P after being with iOS for nearly 5 years, i do miss the “Apple” touch and the overall simplistic feel but the amount of doors open on Android mean i can make the phone my own. I like screen call feature and free vpn.
How do you get the free vpn?
I was debating whether to get an iPhone 14 Pro Max or a Google Pixel 7 Pro just yesterday. Both of them are more feature rich than I will ever need so it really came down to cost. I decided to go with the Pixel 7 Pro because Google just made a deal I could not refuse. As a Google One member I was able to not only get $150 off the retail price at the google store but I also received a 10% store credit that I can use toward other purchases on their store. In addition Google allowed me the finance the entire cost of the phone at 0% interest. My carrier (T-Mobile) was demanding I fork over $300 up front and then finance the remainder for 24 months for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The monthly finance charge for the iPhone 14 Pro Max was actually more expensive than the Pixel 7 Pro. I have been using Google mail, drive, meet and many other services for years. I am already tied to their ecosystem via other purchases like Chromebooks so it was really a no brainer for me. Apple wasn't even close to deal that I could get from Google!
Google killed it with the pixel 7 series. Excited to see how the pixel 8 is going to be.
I was with iphone for over 10 years and just switched to P7P.. this phone is pretty amazing so far. I think it's got iphone beat
there are 20 phones on market that will beat an iphone in every single way..
@@12587drago I'm learning quickly that I've been missing out
I’m trying to like the Pixel but keep coming back to my iPhone. I turned off iMessage and was still missing text.
Nicely laid out
You can do so much more with android by customizing the user interface with custom launchers such as icon packs layouts, widgets etc. and also even getting rid of date and time display.
You really make good videos man
I tried both for a month and I prefer (and kept) the Pixel. Both are nice but the Pixel is a smarter phone. Google has done a great job.
I never got caught up in iMessage. Turned it on a few times and meh. It was always green for me. So when I transitioned to Android full time, it was very easy. Don't be walled in, your choices are greater.
I really believe that the iPhone Dynamic island on RUclips videos has a reasonably easy fix. If you pinch outward to the left of the screen, it just barely zooms out enough to fully get rid of that notch. If RUclips made an update that allowed you to slightly zoom out, at least on iPhones, it would fix this issue.
Apple leaves it like that just to worth it upgrade after 3_4 years to notchless design like competetion have for years...
Your video quality is like the best
I’ve never been able to perceive the pulse width modulation. Even on the old iPhones X , XS
The Pixel 7 Pro seems to take better pictures. A lot crisper than my 14 Pro Max 😢
Pixel has been number 1 in photos for years. The iPhone photos are consistently good but not the best. The iPhone still easily beats the Pixel in the video, though.
If you edit post processing then the pics on the iPhone will blow away stock pics taken with the pixel
That’s what I noticed also.
Pixels are indeed the best for photo, generally speaking. I'm a big fan. But no one does video better than the iPhone.
@TOM stop the 🧢
Which camera did you prefer??
Good video Aaron both good phones I have iPhone 14 and pixel 7. 👍
OMG, the Pixel video and pictures I prefer over the iPhone (a lot). This coming from an iPhone user since 2008. If I wasn’t so deep into the Apple ecosystem the 7 Pro would be a candidate for a new daily. If I were to move to Android it would probably be a Samsung (phone, watch, earbuds, etc.). I’m actually going to pick up a Pixel just for the weekends. My house is run by Google Nest products (outside cameras, thermostat, several Hey Google’s in several rooms, etc.).
Thank you so much for this video. I was sceptical about 7pro and 14 plus. In my country both with the same price, i think 7 pro is the best with an amazing screen and better camera options.
I love the Dynamic Island. When it was released, I thought it was a boring feature. However, now I constantly use the Dynamic Island and it’s a great Quality of Life feature! It’s really awesome.
Yeah, but they should do vise versa tap and long tap options. It's stupid by default.
Pixel 7 Pro at its price is insane. Although I love my 14 Pro Max. Switched from the S22 Ultra seeking better battery life and I got it. And I’m pleasantly surprised how amazing the iPhone does at photography and just daily tasks.
I also switched but from a z fold 3 looking for better battery life and iPhone has better security features than Android
Great video 👍🏼
Man the vid is 17 min long, and your comment is 4 min after upload lol
I have a 14 pro max and pixel 7. I love my pixel but I prefer iOS. I turned hdr video off in settings and that fixed blow out skies for me.
I just went from iPhone 13 to Pixel 6A. Honestly very glad to be back on Pixel after 4 years of iPhone. The cameras as so much better in my opinion
Love my Pixel 6A
I have a pixel 6 and an iphone 13. Can't go wrong with either camera really. Sometimes I prefer photos from the pixel 6, sometimes I prefer photos from the iphone 13. Each has their own strengths in different lighting conditions. Pixel tends to underexpose on a sunny day, iphone tends to over-expose when lighting isn't particularly good .
@@marksouthwell4490 yup after 13 days with the 6A, I'd backtrack on "so much better." I definitely do still prefer the Pixel style, but it's not like the iPhone is bad.
What I don't like about the iPhone is it crushes the shadows and oversharpens a lot of times, especially in low light. Makes the photos look like a painting. The Pixel also has a cooler tone/white balance which I like. But either way both are good of course
@@OmarZ77 hehe mine doesn't do that , as in look photos like a painting. I like the stronger shadows on the iphone, reminds me of photos taken on my Fuji and DSLR . I find auto focus better on my iphone too. Both are good devices with their own qualities. Both are guilty of over sharpening from time to time
@@marksouthwell4490 haha interesting I use a Fujifilm as well, an X-T2. I can see what you mean about the shadows. But yes I wish both phones took images with less sharpening, just like my Fujifilm or any camera does.
Pixel 7 pro has features you can never find from an iPhone like call screening, hold for me, or filtering spam calls and texts. Advantageous features.
hey aaron, maybe u could do another 6a vid? u only did 1 , u could do another with android 13 on it maybe do some pic and vids , ect
I still have my 13 pro max. This year doesn’t seem much of an upgrade for me. My 13 pro max does everything I need. It still lasts a full day easily. Might have to see next year. 14 pro max I believe looks way better in the back, but the display of the pixel for some reason looks better.
I agree completely, I have the 13 Pro Max and I feel the same way about the 14 this year, not enough change worth upgrading to
Still rocking my 13 pro max too. Always tempted to look at other phones but for now I’ll just keep it
@@JCourts2k23 it’s never worth it to upgrade every year. If you look at the iPhone 12 vs 13, there aren’t many changes as well.
@@sam_9228120hz
@@Jst4vdeos That's what I'm saying, there aren't many new features year over year
I think about the iPhone 14 promax versus google 7pixel pro and I think we need to push for the notification bar should be LED lighting notifications, including with the dynamic Island, 10080 and I think that we should push for 8.9 width
Did u hit the focus button on any of the iPhone pics.cause a few looked like u just need to tap the screen to actually focus on the item you were shooting.weird
A lot of people over here in the UK fell in love with the camera quality of the Pixel 7 Pro, but fell out of love with the thing just as quickly when Google decided to sell the phone with only a maximum of 256Gb onboard memory over here. Utter madness.
we only have it go upto 128 GB in India and thats why I'm probably gonna go for the iPhone
@@AWGlifts Exactly Kabir. This is really going to cost Google money, and prevent it from establishing a customer base internationally.
i think most users buy yhe 256gb model anyway, plus google does sell the google one subscription so it makes sense
@@galerikaban5280 It is a disappointment to me Galeri. The Pixel 7 Pro would be on my shopping list for sure if I could buy the 512Gb version over here in the UK. Now I will be looking to the S23 Ultra. The 1Tb version which Samsung manufactures because they know it will sell to heavy use hobby photographers/videographers like myself . Plain and simple.
@@neilmcguinness4422 i am also passionate about photography but at some point even 1TB is not enough, especially when you save 4k 60fps videos, just saying people who use the phone casually might need only the 256 option, and for us we have to rely on ssd's
i just got my pixel 7 pro and i really love it
I have been an iPhone user since the iPhone 4, but this year’s Pixel 7 Pro has really tempted me to switch because of those cameras…
@@ESKATEUK thank you - much appreciated.
I use both and they're amazing
I’m just a regular user! For me both of the phone would be great for me when it comes to the cameras 🎥
I’ve ordered that iPhone case, based on your videos.
what's the name of the case are you using in the beginning of the video on the iPhone 14 pro. thanks in advance
Do tell us. I would like to know as well.
Nah I’m ok with photos from phones since last couple of years .. iPhone for overall support and all around features and 7pro feels heavy … though I might buy 7 to someone who uses android
I want to go with the Pixel 7 and Eco whatever...but Google needs to have better watch choices. I need something more rugged looking on my wrist!
The rounded corners on the Pixel are much more preferable for me but the 14 Pro Max is a force to be reckoned with…
Thanks fir the vid
Did you upgrade from deep purple to space black for iphonr 14 pro max because you unboxed it in deep purple but now it is space black. So I am wondering if you have upgraded.
Very nice comparison. Yea I prefer iOS over android, after switching to Apple products .,for me they work and continue to work same way without software updates. Other th No is I find iOS 16 really nice, not experienced any problems so far, over all very happy with IPhone. I think that iPhone pro max is better with photos
Do you think they type of phone we choose to watch this on affects our perception of camera quality?
Would iPhone content look more natural on an iPhone vs an android phone?
I’d pick the iPhone ….I love the Pixel but couldn’t be doing with that curved screen ……if the Pro had a flat screen like the regular pixel I’d be all in …..on the Pixel !
I've also noticed my P7Pro seems to take much better photos than my iphone 14 pro max. I just wished I could use the face unlock for security on apps. Really the only thing keeping me from using it as my main phone. FaceID is just way too convenient for things like that
Hi Aaron 😊
I was put off the 7 Pro due to all the bugs I suffered with my 6 Pro. Having bought the 14 Pro Max, I’m pretty happy, the 48mp camera shots are excellent, but I’m a bit disappointed with the 12mp shots. I’ve bought the Reeflex Pro Camera App and I find it’s better than the native camera alone in most cases apart from the 48mp shots. Hopefully there will be a camera update for the 14 Pro Max eventually. Pixel cameras have always been great, but too buggy a phone for me. ❤
defintely stick to iphone. I switched to pixel7 and experienced bugs, lag etc. I will be going back to iphone when I upgrade again in a couple years.
For anyone having battery problems in iOS 16.2 specifically on 14 Pro & Pro Max, a big fix for me was to reset and erase everything then putting in DFU mode, and connecting to Finder in Mac(iTunes for Windows) and restore it. The firmware flashed, install later iOS version, then grab it on iCloud backup restore. That alone stoped the ghost notifications problem on 14 pro and other bugs. Battery is insanely better after that “clean restore”.
Mine is lasting almost 2 days heavy use on low battery mode. Normal lasts 1 day and half.
Really hope this helps anyone with this type of issue!
Chill 😂
I would recommend that for all new iPhones. A clean install rather than carrying everything over is always the best way.
What is DFU?
I started liking Pixel 7 pro now.
Pixel all the way, plus the pixel camera is amazing, Nice Job!!
I like the cameras in both phones and the sound wasn't bad on either of the phones. I don't play games on my phone so, that isn't a concern for me.
I would have loved to see a comparison between the regular pixel 7 and the regular iPhone 14
Both are good, can't go wrong with either. I much prefer the display on the iphone, minus the island. Pixel 7 appears to have a dim screen in manual brightness ( after looking at them in store ) albeit it's auto brightness is pretty good . I don't like curved screens either, reminds me of older Samsung's
I am not the type of people that buy the latest phone. I had a high, medium and low gama phones. Three Samsung the first burned out, the second one had software damage and the third I couldn't open a page without getting tons of virus and glitches. Nothing like happens with my iphone XS max, Iphone SE or Iphone 13. And the thing I was trying to do when I got virus was a pdf converter to word. I want to get a Flip 4 but I am scared that the phone doesn't work in a couple of months.
I'm on team Samsung/Android but I will be switching to the new Iphone Pro model in the new year since they will be finally adopting USB-C in the phones hahaha!
I would love to switch to iphone if they invented a way to communicate with android devices, cause I don't wanna find myself in the future like the guy on the vid not exactly having a choice.
It just was always a concern for me with these phones.
@@chillinJohnny you can literally communicate with other android device using an iPhone.. with your mindset I guess you have never used an iPhone
@@romella_karmey u cant
send files to android or any other devices like windows pc
@@Tech69YT yes you can send them via telegram via files option does not reduce quality
totally irrelevant question, but what is the name of the case of the iPhone 14 in the beginning of the video?
Based on the review, I'd prefer Google Pixel 7 Pro than iPhone 14 Pro Max. But, Pixel is not available in the Philippines. I hope they will expand marketing their Pixel phones here at an affordable price.
I own 14 pro and 7 pro.
Easily, 7.pro is my go to device. It's a joy using pixel + the camera is 🔥
Thanks Aaron. I liked the video on the pixel better.
I bought the Pixel 6a this year, before that a Pixel 4a, before that an iPhone XR. Since I use Windows an iPhone eventually feels a bit limited. If I switch to a Mac then, I'd probably get an iPhone.
I have both, if you’re a user of the phones actual specs like recordings, pics and editing, no doubt the iPhone is the winner but if you not doing anything but normal life things then of course the Pixel is good as well
love the google pixel but I think wish they have a button or something like iphone for vibration mode 😅
Great vide! Just what I was looking for. Btw, what's that case you're using for your iPhone?
Linked in the description. It's from Casekoo
l own the 14 pro max and love it and everything about it, regards John
What cover are you using on the iphone
I went with the iPhone 14 pro because I love Face ID. This video though has me thinking the pixel has a slightly better camera system though. I definitely preferred the pixel stills.
you can buy both phones to have the benefit of both worlds
My pixel 6 pro has lots of issues while using RUclips!!Last 4 months RUclips keeps on crashing very often!!Apart from this issue the pixel 6 pro works just fine!!
Had both. Returned the iPhone.
dynamic island is not a feature they just utilize it to mask the cut out.
where you can get the p7 pro for 750? on google store is 900
