When he said he wished Apple included Touch ID, even if they put it on the back...
...I was done listening.
You have to have some standards.

[doublepost=1510367753][/doubleposNo, the difference is with Apple you are a more expensive product. A reportedly $3 billion dollar product.
So be happy, you weren't sold cheaply.![]()
Thanks for fixing the written review to reflect the battery life observations from the video.
However, you state in the article the the iPhone X does better “in some tests”.
I have yet to see a single test that demonstrates superior battery life from the PIXEL 2XL.
Why hedge? The iPhone X has better battery life than the Pixel 2XL.
Google Docs is multi-platform. Pages, Numbers, Keynote (a joke application, honestly) only live on iOS and Mac. I have a mac at home and I love it, but if I need to work on a document at work, Apple has given me no help.
Your post is fake snooze. Get your facts right.
Other than the camera, the hardware on the Pixel is a turd. Its saving grace is the software.
Why do we always say this is an Apple Fan site? I thought this is macrumors. Anybody can come here to know about mac/apple news. May be they should change the name to macfan or applefan to make it obvious.
And with Google YOU are the sucker!The main difference is that with Apple, YOU are the tester!
- Sounds like you never use Xiaomi. Even on my old cheap Redmi 2, Xiaomi still pushes security updates. Xiaomi is a different breed than other Android OEMs.Do they really? Cause that's news to most. It's known that most low end Android manufacturers are not known for updates.
Is that really a thing? Had smartphones since the Treo 650. Don't remember ever going to a store for support.
Not needed for most.
OP 5 is a joke. It's the "Settle Phone"/
Been digging the Axon 7 since March - $399, very speedy, competent, HiFi DAC, QHD OLED, great speakers, and ZTE has been good with the updates.
I will say that what I am impressed with on the X is the face sensor. I am almost forgetting that it is secure. The swipe gestures at the bottom are also very intuitive.
For me iPhone wins on the ecosystem (and display.) Google has documents and that world but not an entire ecosystem of messaging and task lists.
These posts get more and more laughable.There’s no logic that I can understand why one would pay such premium for an Android phone.
For the Pixel, you’re paying premium price, but
- you’re still sacrificing your privacy You still believe your privacy is yours and Apple doesn't know everything about you. Cute.
- only 2 year of OS updates and 3 year of security updates from its release date. Even Xiaomi supports their cheap phones longer than that Three versions of Android and security updates after that. So four years.
- no physical store you can go to to get support Google sends post-haste replacements overnight
- no support outside the country you bought it from Not sure if that's true or not
- performs worse than a cheaper OnePlus 5 So why would you buy iPhone? OnePlus is a better phone than iPhone
If Android is a must for you, Xiaomi Mi A1 runs stock Android, has same OS support as Pixel, at less than half the price. Want top performance? OnePlus 5. Want premium? Even a Samsung S8 is better than the Pixel (better screen, IP68, headphone jack).
Google is really trolling the their fanboys with the Pixel, and ask for a lot of money at the same time. Yes, well you run iOS 11, so you're not much of a judge on quality, are you?
Have you used them? Are you serious right now? They're terrible.Apple's had web interfaces for its iWork apps for years. Where have you been?

You dislike options and superior performance?Any phone that runs Android is a losing phone IMHO.
I will never understand customization on a phone. Why? The only person who will see it at the end of the day is you. All it does is make your phone slower and wastes space.
Good thing Android is lightning fast on the Pixel and no customization is required.I will never understand customization on a phone. Why? The only person who will see it at the end of the day is you. All it does is make your phone slower and wastes space.
I'm confused. The pixel has a better rear camera, front facing camera, better fast charging, speakers, battery and you state the hardware is a turd? What does the iPhone x have that is better hardware? The screen and that's about it.Other than the camera, the hardware on the Pixel is a turd. Its saving grace is the software.
The A11 trounces the 835. Unfortunately, iOS11 is makes the device slower than an old device running iOS10. Hopefully Apple can address that in an update.
Can you see screen on time now in iOS 11? Pretty sure it has always been usage which includes time the screen is off.Android battery life is a myth. Only the huge thick Chinese phones are beating the iPhone 8 Plus, and that is only because they have 4,000 mAh batteries, or more.
According to actual quantitative tests as by GSM Arena, iPhones of all vintages are at the top of the heap in terms of battery life.
In the video of this MacRumors review, the author clearly states that he gets 7-8 hours of screen-on time with the iPhone X and 4-5 hours of screen-on with the Pixel 2XL.
I’m getting 8-9 hours of screen-on time with my iPhone X. As I type this on my iPhone X, charge remaining is 16% and screen-on time is 7h20m.
Every unbiased and objective review out there concludes there are pros and cons for each of these devices. It's not even close to a "landslide." And this 1% thing is just plain laughable. I'd love to make a wager on that.What’s the point of comparisons, it’s not even close. iPhone X will be remembered as a device far ahead of its time. iOS has always been in a class of its own, but the hardware had a few shortcomings until now. This is victory by landslide for Apple, and I don’t care if any of you think any differently. Men lie, women lie, but numbers don’t. As Jobs said, “people vote with their wallets”. Let’s see if Google’s pathetic attempt at hardware even get close to 1% of Apple’s success.
> So which of these devices is better? It's impossible to say.
No it's not.
(to the author, don't take this personally - we just really like our iPhones)
You can't, so you can't validate it as a metric. Plus, SOT is a bad metric. Reality is, most users have their phone screens off most of the time.I'm confused. The pixel has a better rear camera, front facing camera, better fast charging, speakers, battery and you state the hardware is a turd? What does the iPhone x have that is better hardware? The screen and that's about it.

- I'll trust Apple anytime more than Google. I don't mind Google mining my data if I get some benefit (discounted handset ala Nexus). But paying premium for an Android phone? Only fools would do that.There’s no logic that I can understand why one would pay such premium for an Android phone.
