> It's really not even a contest. (1) It was a contest, the iphone won in some areas and (2) you missed the companion piece [1] comparing video where the iphone won fairly handily. (3) The pixel is one phone, you keep talking about "android phones", (4) you're back to claiming the iPhone is an also ran ("not even a contest"), make up your mind where you want to put your goalposts down. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfptPhPCmAU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfptPhPCmAU > If they did it would still have scored below the Android phones. I guess if you believe hard enough you don't need actual facts. Here are the facts: (1) Every year the best iPhone launches with a camera that is among if not the best in the world. (2) Last year was no exception with many reviews saying essentially the same thing: best camera on a smartphone. (3) Some android flagships have comparable cameras and these (a) usually launch a few months after the iphone, (b) sometimes beat the iphone camera in raw spec(s) but (c) despite spec advantage often aren't clearly better in still comparisons (CNET: On paper, ... camera hardware looks impressive... But when it comes to photography, the proof is in the pictures. That's something the iPhone 7 Plus proved in our tests against single-camera shooters like the Google Pixel and the Samsung Galaxy S8.) and (d) they tend to get wrecked in video comparisons. Somehow you have spun that as "Android flagships have already had the better camera's for a couple of years" and that "it's not even a contest" both of which are simply nonsense.

It would seem you're confused about the iPhone winning in some area's. Let me recap the results: 1. Pixel 2. Draw 3. iPhone 4. Pixel 5. Pixel 6. Pixel That seems very definitive to me which camera was superior. As for other Android phones, according to DXOMark there are 11 Android phones ranked higher than the iPhone 7. >Every year the best iPhone launches with a camera that is among if not the best in the world. Yes, it's among the best. It's just not the best anymore. They're now having to rely on gimmicks to differentiate themselves. >Last year was no exception with many reviews saying essentially the same thing: best camera on a smartphone. And then the Pixel launched and took the crown in many reviews that proclaimed it as the best smartphone camera in the world. >Some android flagships have comparable cameras and these (a) usually launch a few months after the iphone, (b) sometimes beat the iphone camera in raw spec(s) but (c) despite spec advantage often aren't clearly better in still comparisons Yeah, they really are better in still comparisons and especially under low light conditions. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/10/29/13466786/google-pixel-photo-better-than-iphone https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/10/29/13466786/... >Somehow you have spun that as "Android flagships have already had the better camera's for a couple of years" and that "it's not even a contest" both of which are simply nonsense. DXOMark indicates otherwise and it shows the iPhone continuing to fall further and further in the rankings. The only nonsense here is you trying to convince yourself that the iPhone still has the better camera when countless reviews and blind tests have proven otherwise.
