Comparing iPhone 11/Pro to Pixel 4:
Design (Rear): Same square design no one copied each aa other posters mentioned other hardware manufactures have done its months earlier. Pixel has slight edge over iPhone 11Pro.
Camera (Rear): iPhone has the advantage with 3 vice 2.
Design (Front): User preference really, either one does not notice the notch when used or it just something of an OCD for some, same with the top complete bezel. When watching Videos or Photos, Pixel 4 has the edge when using it for other things iPhone does a good job especially with DarkMode. Tie and depends on user preference.
Camera (Front): iPhone has the edge with it’s 4K capability. Radar and ToF unlock advantage may go to Pixel however information is still being released on the details. iPhone has the advantage with it’s FaceID unlock system due to information available. Speed depends on various scenario based and no information if able to unlock in various orientations. iPhone marginal advantage though the iPad Pro system should have been available on iPhone 11 Pro.
Display (Type): I am unsure how much of a visual and noticeable difference most users will notice. I would call this one a tie as both are OLED.
Display (Refresh): Pixel has the advantage with 90Hz, it is noticeable and even Apple markets this on iPad Pro with adaptable 120Hz, not sure why the iPhone 11Pro does not have this. Some people on this forum are just haters and don’t want to accept reality.
Speakers (Stereo): iPhone 11Pro has a slight advantage with its dynamic surround implementation, however Pixel has both front firing speakers. Not sure why Apple refuses to have front firing speakers on all iOS devices.
Battery: iPhone 11Pro has the clear advantage, it has been a long time coming by Apple resolving the concern with the XR.
Other categories: iPhone has the advantage with A13, 4K video and photos, wide stereo audio recording videos, iOS updated for years.
Pixel has 6GB RAM, NightSight 2, Google Assistant, etc.
PixelBuds looks decent enough that I may pick these up, until AirPods 3 offers something comparable or better.
PixelBook looks cool, though the pricing needs to come down to reality. Possibly related to external factors placing pressure on companies to absorb or pass on costs to consumers.

At this juncture, Google just needs to be close (if not better) than the iPhone. They make their money on advertising. The few hundred thousand Pixels won’t make a serious dent in their bottom line.
I believe these simply serve to promote the Google brand.
Google phone hardware are like Trojans, it is a method and means to collect data from users continually and in the wild. I am sure Apple phone hardware are doing the same but not the extent being used by Google.
