If camera quality is a high priority for you, the iPhone 14 Pro will be a great choice with top-notch photo and video capability but at a premium price. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Google Pixel 6 also offers good camera features but may not perform as well in comparison to iPhone 14 Pro. For a larger screen, consider the Pixel 6's 6.4-inch display over the iPhone's 6.1-inch screen, which could be a plus for media consumption and gaming. The iPhone 14 Pro promises a brighter and more dynamic display along with a smoother experience due to a higher refresh rate. Both phones offer glass back designs, wireless charging, and support high-quality video recording. If battery life is critical, both phones should serve you well through the day, but iPhone 14 Pro offers slightly better battery life. Finally, the operating system could be a deciding factor; the iPhone 14 Pro runs on iOS, while the Pixel 6 runs on Android, a consideration that often comes down to personal preference. Give Feedback

Tom's Guide
Jordan Palmer | March 2023
"I am confident in saying that, based on my usage and time with the device, the iPhone 14 Pro is the best phone Apple’s made. It’s powerful, has amazing cameras, sports a beautiful display, and the notch is dead. It’s hard to think of anything truly wrong with this device and it’s perfect for people tired of giant handsets."

Taylor Kerns | April 2022
"It punches above its weight in nearly every way: performance is great, build quality is very good, and the cameras positively rip. this is a big phone, which is a bit of a shock after the compact Pixel 4 and Pixel 5. But it’s a very good big phone at a very good price."

About Apple
The tech giant called Apple is synonymous with the most popular smartphone in the world: the iPhone. Known for their build quality and aesthetics, as well as for their excellent integration between hardware and software, iPhones have defined the smartphone industry ever since their conception and they continue to do so by setting new industry standards. Apple's own operating system, called iOS, is known for its simplicity and ease of use, and the company tends to complement it well by creating devices with some of the most powerful processing hardware available in the mobile world. The iPhone is also known for its robust ecosystem of accessories, as it facilitates a very seamless experience when interacting with other Apple products, more so than most of its competitors.
About Google
Google can be considered a relatively new player in the smartphone industry, joining as late as 2016 with their phone, the Google Pixel. Since then, the Pixel lineup has undergone many changes, but it has always been characterized by a focus on photography and clean software, by providing a pure Android experience. By virtue of Google being the creator of the Android operating system, Pixels are known for receiving timely software updates and for being supported with updates for a long time. Additionally, over the past few generations of devices, Google started designing their own processors. This allowed for the implementation of unique software features that are not present in any other phone, such as automatic call screening and unique voice transcribing capabilities.
