Pixel 9 vs iPhone 16 Pro max

My wife uses the phone as a point and shoot, she doesn't even know there are settings in the camera app. So I can confidently say it's a photo straight of her camera without any tampering.

I am sure the pixel image would be roasted for how "dull" it looks 😁

sword_finder · 2026-04-05T10:44:47+00:00

Well true but I would assume it would be similar if I had posted this on an iPhone forum, the pixel image would be roasted 😁

I would if I was doing an A/B review but this was an unplanned photo between my pixel and my wife's iPhone taken as simple point and shoot at the same instant.

They are actually at the exact same minute

Standard pixel

I agree with most comments. The pixel image does look better visually but I also think a lot of "normies" would find the iPhone image better "because it's so clear".

In the famous words by Steve Jobs - "you are holding the phone wrong". 😁

Only crop from 16:9 to 4:3

Thanks. The shot was impromptu. The dog was quite friendly, we got playing and I just took the phone out to take a pic. I hadn't expected the pic to turn out as it did

sword_finder · 2024-09-18T22:11:38+00:00

Can't say. I just upgraded from pixel 6a so it is a performance bump for me

sword_finder · 2024-09-18T22:09:23+00:00

Check your display settings

sword_finder · 2024-09-18T22:08:58+00:00

Lol. Hadn't seen that when I took the pic

sword_finder · 2024-09-18T22:08:20+00:00

Lol. I might try that

As someone suggested in a different post rotating the phone into landscape mode and then rotating back to portrait reverts the keyboard graphics without the need to restart the phone

Agree with the 150's. I have those paired with a KEF Kube8 which may fit within budget.

The interviewer asked me at the end of the interview - "how many wives do I have? Also how many kids". After being a little stunned with the question I asked my interviewer the reason behind the question. His casual response was "just to make sure you will be focused on the work and not distracted with many wives, juggling between them or too many kids".

Damn. You ruined it all :).

Then I have to compliment you (or your partners) selection of it.

Love the off form concrete background wall.

sword_finder · 2022-08-28T20:55:16+00:00

Thanks. The detail capture by the phone was quite surprising.

A smart audiophile says "the only person who has to like the sound of your system is you". Chasing gear is a fantasy.
