iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max specs vs. Galaxy S10, Note 10 and Pixel 3 XL Android phones
We pit Apple's new iPhones head to head with their top Android competitors.
Apple announced the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max at a presser on Tuesday in Cupertino, California. The phones have new features like a 12-megapixel front-facing camera and a faster A13 Bionic processor. They’ll be available for preorder on Friday with an in-store availability on Sept. 20. In addition to the new iPhones, the tech company also unveiled the Apple Watch Series 5 smartwatch.
Despite being one of the most popular phones in the world, the new iPhones face a challenging market. It has stiff competition from Samsung, which just unveiled its Note 10, Note 10 Plus and Note 10 5G, as well as Google, which is anticipated to release its upcoming Pixel 4 in October. In addition, iPhone sales fell 12% in the fiscal third quarter, profits are expected to dip to $9.6 billion and more people are trading in their iPhones for Androids.
To see how the iPhone Pro and 11 Pro Max fare against its Android competitors, we compare the two against the Galaxy S10, the Note 10 and the Google Pixel 3 XL, spec-by-spec (again, keep in mind that a new Pixel is due in a few weeks). Based on how they are on paper so far, what do you think? Is Apple still innovating or is it falling behind its rivals?
