You are being spied upon, it's not just google it's all of them one degree or another. I guess at this point apple is least of the bad in my opinion but I firmly believe privacy as it relates to technology is just an illusion.

This is actually the first year we can say that Apple CPUs have HIGHER clocks than most of Android. Kinda crazy.
Apple the first couple of years exclusive to ATT and they certainly did not tank.
The phones are on par, the OS is on par, the prices are on par, the services on google are way better. What's next? Apple has been lagging on all fronts for way too long. They can't keep up and definitely need something new.
I'm surprised Apple hasn't hit them with a lawsuit on this. It seriously looks just like an iPhone with a few things moved around.
Meh...at this point they are all rounded rectangles with stuff moved around.
The Pixel did use a flash. You can see the reflections of the flash off of the back of the model's retina, which creates red eye.
I wouldn't agree with your basic premise at all. Apple is successful because they figured out first that people are willing to pay for good looking, well-built hardware. Then they combined that idea with a great operating system. At this point it's a race between Apple figuring out services and Google figuring out hardware (and selling/marketing hardware).
The timing of the release of these phones is uncanny, considering Samsung's woes. Could it have been sabotage? Buried lines of code in Android that initiated a self-destruct sequence in Note 7 phones? I'm joking of course, but the timing is incredible.
Total Fandroid. In the first 2 minutes he has 2 subtle swipes at iPhones.
"It has a finger print sensor on the back - where I prefer it - unless it's lying on a table"
No one would dare put it on the front and give Android a home button for fear of a law suit
"It has a headphone jack, of course!"
It's not waterproof either is it?

It's funny to see the just released 'mighty iphone' taking the back seat already. Not to mention googles superb services and unlimited photo storage. The next waves of new android phones are just around the corner while we have to wait till next September for the 'really advanced iphone'. I think Apple lost this race. Google pace of innovation is something Apple can't match. Google is also more consumer aware by giving buyers unlimited photo storage. The coming time will be very interesting. The new MacBook pro will probably exactly what is discussed on rumorsites.
Funny that Apple always brags that it's the only company on earth to integrate their software and services seamlessly. That same company is struggling to deliver what Google (which Apple always told it hasn't the experience building hard-, software like Apple) what Google at a high pace does. Also funny that the details of google Pixel weren't leaked to rumor sites, while the dull iPhone 7 was detailed since May.
I wonder what company Apple inc. really is. Because it isn't a leading computer company anymore, it's not a leading phone company anymore, it's not the most innovative company anymore. Please Tim Cook enlighten us with your vision of apple's future.
Products from other companies are already out of the pipeline and there is coming more. What's the hiccup at apple's?

It was leaked, just not for as long. Way more incentive $$$ wise to leak Apple stuff than other manufacturers.

It isn't waterproof. Swipes at the iPhone? More like personal preference, but whatever floats your narrative.
Lol you know the metal unibody with antenna lines was first made by HTC right? The same company that manufactured the pixel. But of course you wouldn't know this because Apple invented the wheel.
Since that's all you got from reading that article, and still think MacRumors has presented you with the facts, I don't think I can help you.

I can't say if AppleInsider is more or less biased in general, I honestly have no idea, but I think the article completely shreds the Pixel Phone, but go buy it if you prefer it, by all means.Right, and your quoting an article form AppleInsider.. Thats not going to be biased is it?!
AppleInsider is strong with the RDF.
Hmmm could be right. That would seem to mean the Pixel is using a much longer shutter speed. I'm curious how this will translate to real world pics.
Read a few more articles, especially the commentary, you'll see they are heavily bias.
AppleInsider is the last place I'd go for a product comparison, or review. Engage, Verge etc are far better balanced.
There's more to performance than raw speed. OP3 has to many compromises.

Sounds like yet more school playground willy waving to me.
Totally agree!
Apple always sits back and let the competitors try out new stuff. And then copy the basics of the idea ("does it right" in Apple-speak) that seems to work best.
Apple has rarely taken a chance on launching actual new features without someone else testing out the waters first. It is a smart strategy, probably saves them billions through the years.
When someone starts a post by writing "You apple fanboys" then my expectation for useful information to follow is rather low.
The Nexus phones were primarily aimed towards developers. They were never meant to be mass market big sellers and not marketed as such either.
The Pixel phones are the first Google phones where they actually want to sell as many as they can - and make money from it, which was not a priority (hence the great price for what you got) with the Nexus phones where the production was cut short long before the market was satisfied.
