Google Pixel 7 Pro vs iPhone 14 Pro Max: The Google Pixel series has long been the favourite of Android enthusiasts and smartphone photography gurus, but due to subpar technology and a lack of global availability, they have always been niche devices, never approaching the economic success or general awareness of the iPhone.
Google, on the other hand, has taken steps to reverse that in recent years, beginning with the superb Pixel 6 series, which brought new premium hardware highlighted by Google’s first-ever custom-built silicon. The Pixel 7 series maintains that pace, with the Pro model finally giving the complete combo of premium hardware, enhanced software, and top performance.

Display
Both have a 6.7-inch screen and can sustain a dynamic refresh rate of up to 120Hz.
The iPhone completely embraces this with a new Always-On display (basically, a slightly dimmed standard lock screen) that runs at just 1Hz, but the Pixel can only drop to 10Hz at the most and uses a simpler, all-black background for the Always-on function.
The big new iPhone display feature, though, has to be Apple’s new pill cutout, dubbed the Dynamic Island. It bubbles and extends like a live status bar for your iPhone’s current active events. What a brilliant idea! The Pixel, on the other hand, employs a standard punch hole design.
Battery
Apple has historically used lower battery sizes in its iPhones, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max is no exception. It has a 4,323mAh battery as opposed to the Pixel 7 Pro’s 5,000mAh battery.
Performance and Software
Google says it began working on its first Tensor chip nearly three years before the Pixel 6, and the Pixel 7 Pro features a more polished, second-generation version of the CPU. Tensor G2 improves across the board, with a focus on machine learning (ML).
Apple’s A16 Bionic chip, on the other hand, improves CPU performance slightly, has quicker graphics memory bandwidth, and is more power efficient.
