                      All these arguments and people still don't understand that whatever you say here won't make a difference. You wanna make a difference convince your friends and family not the people who visit this site. Because chances are the people who comment in the articles in this site won't listen to you and change their mind that A is better than B because a random user said so.

                          Apple has no fault in this its those companies that you love so much. Makes fun of Apple but copies them anyway for some stupid reason, like wtf.

                            Basically Democracy vs Tyranny in tech terms. Tyranny looks better on the short term (does things well and fast), but on the long term it accumulates so many errors (that the self correcting algorithm of competition solves on industries where you have choice) that is pretty much useless/decrepit by then.

                            In 10-20 years iphones would seem laughable. They already do in the eyes of many. An industry follower.

                              If you use pro mode , best sensor + optics win every time, hence Dx0's ranking.

                              Pixel phones have embarrassing optics and sensors, so they get embarrassing results.

                              Case closed.
