With the new iPhone 16 series and Google Pixel 9 arriving in 2024, we've made a comparison between the two based on the leaks and rumors that have emerged so far.
What awaits us from iPhone 16?
release date
Historically, Apple has introduced its new iPhones in September, and the iPhone 16 is expected to follow that timeline, with an expected launch in September 2024. But delays like those that occurred with the iPhone 12 in 2020 could arise.
the prices
The iPhone 15 kept prices stable, with the exception of the iPhone 15 Pro Max model, which started at $1,200 for the 256 GB version. However, due to the increase in iPhone 15 component costs, prices for iPhone 16 models are expected to be slightly higher, although details are still unclear.
Design: details and materials
The standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will have a departure from the diagonal camera layout, opting for a pill-shaped vertical camera island. This change represents an evolution of the design first seen on the iPhone X. Additionally, an action button is rumored to be included, although details are also unknown.
For the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, a new capacitive capture button is expected, which will be located below the sleep/wake button. This button can act as a camera shutter release and can be assigned to other functions.
Colors include soft pink, yellow, green and blue shades for the standard models, while the Pro models could come in titanium and possibly new colors like 'Titanium White' and 'Desert Titanium'.

Screens
Changes are expected to be made to screen sizes, with the iPhone 16 Pro increasing to 6.3 inches and the iPhone 16 Pro Max to 6.9 inches. This update will allow for a larger telephoto camera and the debut of 5x optical zoom on the smaller Pro model.
In terms of display technologies, improvement is expected with the introduction of Bezel Reduction Structure (BRS) and the use of microlenses in OLED panels for brighter displays and more efficient power consumption.
Technical Specifications
The iPhone 16 could feature a change in Apple's chipset nomenclature, with a possible move to the A18 and A18 Pro chips, and the thermal design is also expected to receive improvements, possibly through the use of graphene technology. Additionally, the Pro models can use Qualcomm's Snapdragon X75 modem for faster and more efficient 5G connectivity, while the base model will continue to use the Qualcomm X70 chipset.

This is where iPhones tend to stand out the most. The iPhone 16 Pro models could offer 48-megapixel ultra-wide sensors, compared to the 12-megapixel resolution of the current iPhone 15. This change promises improvements in capturing details, especially in low-light conditions. Additionally, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could receive improvements to all three lenses, meaning superior image quality across the range.
Batteries
Finally, the iPhone 16 models are rumored to feature improvements in battery life and capacity, with stacked battery technology allowing for greater capacity. Specific details include a 3,561 mAh battery for the standard iPhone 16, 4,006 mAh for the iPhone 16 Plus, and 4,676 mAh for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Programming
iOS 18 is a likely candidate to run on the iPhone 16, and promises to incorporate more advanced AI features and improve interaction with Siri, among other improvements.
What lies ahead from Google Pixel 9
Release date and prices
Google lore suggests that October 2024 will be the month the Pixel 9 will hit the market. But even though Google has maintained a consistent pattern for October releases for Pixel phones, there's always the possibility of differences. However, for now, October 2024 seems to be the safest bet.
The price of the new Pixel 9 remains a matter of speculation. With an increase of $100 compared to the previous two models, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro were launched at $699 and $999, respectively. Although there is no specific information about whether Google plans to follow this price increase trend, the incorporation of advanced AI technology could be the reason for the price hike. Additionally, the reintroduction of the XL model adds another variant to the Pixel 9 series pricing structure.

Design and specifications
Google Pixel 9: The design is expected to be renewed with a new camera mask, which differs from the extended back strip in previous models, favoring rounded edges surrounding the lenses. This design is accompanied by the adoption of flat sides over curved sides. The Pixel 9 will reportedly have a 6.03-inch display.
Google Pixel 9 Pro: The Pixel 9 Pro maintains a similar design to the Pixel 9, and features three rear cameras instead of two and a slightly larger 6.1-inch screen. It's also rumored to include a temperature sensor below the LED flash, a returning feature from the Pixel 8 Pro.
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL: This model appears to share features of the Pixel 9 Pro but with a larger 6.5-inch display, marking the return of the "XL" name for the first time since the launch of the Google Pixel 4 XL in 2019.
In terms of performance, it has been confirmed that the Pixel 9 series will be powered by the Google Tensor G4, based on the Samsung Exynos 2400 manufactured on 4nm process. Although initially expected to be a 3nm process, this chip promises to be a strong competitor to the iPhone 16, offering potential improvements in performance and power efficiency.
Programming
The Pixel 9 devices will launch with Android 15, offering a number of new features such as “Adaptive Touch” which adjusts the touchscreen sensitivity based on the environment, including the use of gloves or the presence of water on the screen.
Additionally, the incorporation of advanced AI technology is one of the most anticipated additions, with the debut of “Pixie,” an AI assistant based on Google's Gemini technology. This could mean a breakthrough in how users interact with their mobile phones, although that depends on advances in hardware, especially when it comes to RAM and AI processing.
Apple iPhone 16
Release date: Scheduled for release in September 2024, keeping in Apple's tradition of annual releases in that month.
the prices
It is expected that the prices of the iPhone 16 models will rise compared to previous models due to increased component costs. Although specific details are unclear, the increase is expected to reflect inflation and additional production costs.
