I took over 200 photos with the iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. Google Pixel 9 Pro XL — here’s the winner

When it comes to the best cameras phones you can buy right now, the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Pixel 9 Pro XL are two of the top choices with their triple cameras. But only one can come out on top in this photo shootout comparison.

Strange. I would have given a number of the ones you declared iPhone as the "winner" to Pix l. Particularly the macro, dynamic range, and zoom categories. Also the night shots. The iPhone is pretty far away from winning those categories. But, it seems that a lot of these camera "reviews" outside of DXOMark are pretty much just subjective opinion reviews rather than objective qualitative evaluation.

I agree. Almost all of the pictures taken by the pixel had better dynamic range, more detail and didn't have this piss yellow tint the iPhone had.

I would also fully agree! Have e.g. a look at the macro flower photo. The Pixel photo is much better.

Really confusing is the second photo with the beer taps. Have a look at the outside scene through the windows. Totally different, it looks as if the photos have been made in different places!

Fully agree. Seems like the reviewer WANTED the iPhone to win this. It just seems obvious that the Pixel pics were better in almost every round. 🤷

Idk if the author is blind, or has extreme bias, but they were dead wrong about most of those photos. Idk how you can look at the pictures of the beer taps and say IPhone was the winner lol.

Yeah, that was the main one that got me too. Like the Pixel result is WAY better. Look, iPhones have great cameras. We all know this. But stating that it's better in a shootout when it obviously isn't is just silly.

How can you look at the picture of the beer taps and say the iphone has better dynamic range? That's insane. All of these are questionable at best, the Pixel photo with the Adirondack chairs, for instance, has much better color depth and less blowout, and all the iphone examples have a weird yellow tint. Just say you're an Apple fan, we get it.

Please also notice the zoom photos of the parking sign... You can read the sign in the Pixel photo, the text is blurry in the iPhone photo. The reviewer gave the selfie award to Pixel largely because the iPhone is still using a 12 MP camera for selfies... The reviewer must have forgotten that it's also using a 12 MP telephoto camera vs. Pixel's 48 MP, both at 5x optical zoom. You could zoom the Pixel in to 10x (5x optical and 2x digital) to achieve the same resolution that iPhone has with just the 5x optical.

I registered just to call out the obvious bias the author has towards the iPhone. Glad to see everyone else is dragging them for it as well.
