Only the differences are shown. 5 specs stay the same.
+3you gain

iPhone Duo came out in October 2026. Pixel 11 came out in August 2026.
Note on iPhone Duo: Screen size is the inner display; the cover (outer) screen has its own rows. Video playback is with the inner display: Apple gives up to 44 hours with the outer display.
Note on Pixel 11: GBP is the Google Store UK price; Google published no GBP launch post.

Updates1 change
Software updates
Last security update: iOS 27.0.1 on September 28, 2026›Updates guaranteed until August 2033
Google publishes a guaranteed support period; Apple publishes the last security update instead. They are shown as they are, without a gain or a loss. Pixel 11: Calculated from Google's policy, because Google does not list an end date for each model. Google: "Pixel 8 and later phones will get updates for 7 years starting from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US." Google's update policy
What does this mean?
Google promises Android and security updates for a set time from when a Pixel first went on sale on the US Google Store. Apple gives no end date: its security releases page lists each update and which iPhones it is for.
On the Pixel side you see the month Google's promise runs until, or that Google no longer updates it (Pixel 5a and earlier); on the iPhone side, the latest update Apple has released for the newest iOS that iPhone can run. One is a promise about the future and the other a record of the past, so neither is marked as a gain or a loss.
Matters most if: You plan to keep the phone for many years, or you are buying one used.

Battery2 changes
Battery life (each maker's figure)
Up to 31 hours of video playback›30+ hour battery lifeDifferent
What does this mean?
Each maker's own battery test. Apple's figure is hours of video playback; Google's is an estimate for a typical Pixel user's mix of calls, mobile data, standby and other use.
The tests are different, so an iPhone's hours and a Pixel's hours can't be compared directly, and the site shows both without picking a winner.
Matters most if: You often run out of battery before the end of the day.
Battery capacity
Not published by Apple›4985 mAh
What does this mean?
mAh (milliamp-hours) measures how much charge a battery holds, like the size of a fuel tank.
Google lists a typical capacity for each Pixel. Apple's iPhone tech specs give no capacity in mAh, so the iPhone side says "Not published by Apple". A bigger number alone does not mean longer battery life.
Camera3 gains · 1 loss
Rear cameras
2›3
What does this mean?
How many cameras are on the back. Each one has a different lens: standard, wide, or zoomed-in.
More cameras means more ways to frame a shot without walking closer or further away: fit a whole room in with the wide lens, or get a close shot of something far away with the zoom lens.
Telephoto camera
GainWhat does this mean?
A zoom lens: a separate camera that sees things far away as if you were closer.
Zooming with a real zoom lens keeps the photo sharp. Without one, the phone has to cut out part of the image, so it gets blurrier the more you zoom. It also makes portrait photos look more flattering, because you can stand further back.
Matters most if: You photograph kids' sports, concerts, pets or wildlife from a distance.
Optical zoom
None›5x optical zoom
Only optical zoom is compared. Google's Super Res Zoom and Pro Zoom use processing, not a lens.
What does this mean?
How much the zoom lens (telephoto camera) magnifies with glass, so the photo stays sharp. 5x means things look five times bigger than with the main camera.
Only that lens is compared. Google's Super Res Zoom and Pro Zoom and Apple's "optical-quality" steps are made with processing or by cropping a high-resolution camera, not with a separate lens, so they are not counted.
Matters most if: You photograph kids' sports, concerts, pets or wildlife from a distance.
Front camera
12 MP›10.5 MP
Main camera
48 MP (same on both)
What does this mean?
MP stands for megapixels. One megapixel is one million tiny dots. A 12 MP photo is made of 12 million dots, a 48 MP photo of 48 million dots.
On a phone screen, a 12 MP and a 48 MP photo look almost the same. The difference shows when you zoom in, crop part of the photo, or print it large: more dots means detail holds up longer. More megapixels also lets the phone zoom 2x by cropping without losing quality.
Matters most if: You crop photos, print them, or zoom in on details later.
Ultra wide camera
Yes (same on both)
What does this mean?
A second lens that sees a much wider area than the main camera.
You can fit a whole room, a tall building or a big group into one photo without stepping back. On many models it is also used for macro (very close-up) photos.
Matters most if: You take photos indoors, of landscapes, or of groups.
Screen2 changes
Screen size
7.6 in›6.3 in−1.3 in
Screen type (each maker's name)
OLED›Actua display (OLED)Different
What does this mean?
Each maker's own words for the screen: Google's names such as Actua and Super Actua, and the screen type Apple lists, such as OLED.
A name alone does not tell you which screen is brighter or sharper, so the row is marked "Different" without a winner.

Wired charging
Up to 50% charge in around 20 minutes with 60W-capable adapter or higher (available separately) paired with USB-C charging cable›up to 55% in about 30 minutes using 30W USB-C PPS chargerDifferent
What does this mean?
How fast the phone charges with a cable, in each maker's own words: how much charge (or hours of use) you get in a set time with a charger of a given wattage (W).
The two makers test with different chargers and give different charge levels and times, so the row shows both sentences side by side as "Different", without marking either phone as charging faster. Older iPhones whose Tech Specs give no fast-charge figure say "Not published by Apple".

RAM
Not published by Apple›12 GB
What does this mean?
RAM is the phone's working memory for the apps you have open right now, measured in GB (gigabytes). It is separate from storage.
Google lists RAM for each Pixel. Apple's iPhone tech specs do not list RAM, so the iPhone side says "Not published by Apple" and the site does not estimate it.

iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable iPhone, is now on sale and open for comparison, checked against Apple's tech specs page: prices for each storage size, the A20 Pro chip, cameras, screens, weight, battery, water resistance, eSIM only, and Touch ID in the side button with no Action button. Foldable rows show its cover screen and its size folded and unfolded, the same rows as Galaxy Z. You can pick iPhone Duo in iPhone, iPhone vs Galaxy and iPhone vs Pixel comparisons, it is listed with the Galaxy Z and Pixel foldables, and its model numbers are in Find my model.
