The Pixel 9 Pro’s design is one of the most talked-about aspects of the new series of phones. Its relatively compact design means you can have a smaller phone that still has most of the pro features you crave. However, it’s undeniable that it looks a lot like an iPhone, which is controversial. I’ve been using the Pixel 9 Pro for about a week now, and I absolutely love it — even though I can admit it is very iPhone-like. Here’s why this is good news for Android!

😮😅😅😅 Pixel 9 Pro or 8 Pro review statement. I don't know pick one
iPhone copies off Google. Apple is tryna do a call screening feature but Google pixel been had this feature. Face it Apple fans yall never will beat Google when it comes to features.
After 11 years I left team iPhone thx 2 Google pixel pro 9 … 🙂 Never been a big fan of Samsung …
Will it be a sensible upgrade from IPhone 15 (Base Version) to Pixel 9 Pro XL ??? Need advise ðŸ™
I’ve just traded in iPhone 15 pro max for s24 ultra but it feels just like the s23 ultra so went all out and traded s24 ultra for pixel 9 pro xl and what a great phone first time pixel user and loving it.
So, would you choose a Pixel 9Pro or an iPhone 16Pro??
im actually thinking about switching from iphone to pixel because im tired of my phone always malfunctioning every time they come out with a new phone
Pixel 9 pro xl is the smartest looking phone ever.
fanwars against brand is so scary at least for people like me living most of the time in both os world 😠i actually appreciate adaptation in either side as long as everyone's enjoying it whether its usb c or flat screen
Potato, potatoe. Yes, they look the same enough to warrant claim that google ‘barrowed’ design cues from Apple.
—still rocking the iPhone 12 mini
Pixel 9 looks and feels so good just because it’s a spitting image of iPhone (blatantly copied), but still lacks on the software front though!!
Shouldn't mention Google stealing without talking about how much apple steals from Android
It's a Google play edition iPhone
Ordered a pixel 9 pro today, got £620 pounds for my iPhone 14 PRO and a free case and charger :). Perfect size!
The uniform bezels seem like a logical next step, not a "stolen feature"
Maybe the pro edition is the thing they stole, and that's about it
You mentioned all of the similar design elements and completely ignored the most obvious one: the rounded corners and corner radius being basically identical to the iPhone.
I guess that mentioning it wouldn't allow you to sell this blatant copying as a positive, unlike the constant mockery you Western reviewers hurled at the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Seems they all steal from each other,(Android and Apple) kind of pointless to focus on it.
They both weigh exactly 221g. Come on.
Signed a pixel user since the 3.
Looking to switch from the Galaxy S23 Ultra to the Pixel 9 Pro. I simply want something more affordable with less bloatware, and I like the look of stock Android. Oh, and the Pixel gets the latest Android updates before other Android phones.
The 9 pro and it would be boss until then not a chance
Honestly speaking i have the 8pro and I do not find that phone big at all. Now the S24 ultra is big. Hard to handle. But this year going for the XL anyway hahahah
Android literally brings every new feature and then apple implements it 5 years later and somehow android is always copying apple lol.
I've been an iPhone user since the 5 but this new pixel has me seriously considering it. Plus nothing has changed with apple in the last few years, I'm starting to get bored of them.
You know I've honestly got to say I don't care how this phone compares to Apple in the slightest I wanted some information on how it lasted in the battery life. They all copy from each other there's only so much you can do with a rectangle
Great iPhone review. ðŸ‘
the video makes no sense.
all phones are square bricks.
and who cares.
the real difference is the hardware you get for your money.
google sell this year the similar weak hardware, from last year to a unserious prize .
in hte past google do same, sell outdatet hardware that was far behind flagships.
but in the past google take for this weak hardware a serious price that match it.
this year a new story……
iphone in compare to google every year hold its hardware on state of the art level, that matches with other flagships.
if google try now to sell a honda civic performance for the price of a ferarri why not .
with a iphone you pay similar the price of a ferarri but you get the performce of a ferrari.
google and iphone are to different story.
I absolutely hate the iPhone design with those extra round corners. I hate the extra width in comparison to the height. I hate that Google wants to copy that from Apple. If I wanted an iPhone I would buy one. I buy Pixels because I like the things that are unique to Google. Stop trying to become a clone of some other company and instead focus on your own customers who buy from you because of your unique features, not because of your cheap imitations of some other brand.
It's really not hard to leave apples walled off ecosystem. You just have to try to do it. You'll be surprised how much more you can do with an android than you could with an apple product. The one thing I quit using my iPhone over was the inability to just drag files or download something to the phone and use it like music or movies. Apple still makes you use iTunes for that.
getting my Pixel 9 pro xl next week, can't wait even though my 6 is still rocking
Apple and Samsung do not yet realize the threat that Google poses to the smartphone market, neither are the ignoramuses, yet they are the baby in this segment…
The whole Google vibes this year feel like Apple and it's not just the phone, but the watch and earbuds as well…. And I'm okay with it. While I don't like Apple products anymore, I love the design language and I think Google doing a similar thing is okay!
I think you are forgetting HTC in this equation and how Apple "borrowed" their design language and then Goog bought HTC's engineering and design teams
I'm an iphone user and im not a google pixel 9 pro XL user, it feels the most apple android phone possible, love it for now
But then we can't find the Pixel 9 Pro and Google is not exact about the availability. Bad marketing
delirium
I don't agree that the Pixel phones are copying Apple. To me it's just a standard phone design that many companies use.
8:47 I wonder if people that like android or iPhone choose software or hardware as a preference
Suggestion- change your name to iPhone Authority.
I hope Samsung brings a smaller ultra phone. I'm tired of the big brick phone 😂. I pre-ordered the Pixel 9 pro 512 GB. Can't wait
An interesting take , didnt expect to see a video on this whole angle.
Not really bothered, it looks nice but i really like the design of my P7.
Have pre ordered a Hazel 9 Pro, will decide then.
I got the Pixel 9 Pro XL. I find it more manageable in the hand than the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Those sharp edges on the S24 really dug into my hands. Plus, I didn't find I was using the stylus all that much. Also, Google's voice to text is supreme!
As soon as put a case on it, it becomes unbearable.
What a sloth chipset in such a premium durable body, what a shame Google.
iPhone and Androids have been taking from each other's physical design from the beginning. Specifically from HTC in the early years. Google eventually purchased HTCs hardware design team to work on Pixel phones. Just a little history lesson.
For me iphone is much better
Nobody:
Tim Cook & Google: Just buy an iPhone! 📲
Stop saying iphone. The design elements of iphone are borrowed from Android (do some research)…
