Both phones had to compensate for the direct sunlight on the subject and both did very well, even if the Pixel compensated better in my opinion. The Pixel zoomed out a bit while the iPhone brought things in a little closer to focus on Mark’s face. In these portraits of Mark Spoonauer, both phones took different approaches to the final images. I have to call a tie here on the ultrawide test. The greenish tones to the water look a bit better in the Pixel’s image, but this is, as we’ve seen thus far, a very close race. That said, the iPhone captures more of the landscape due to its wider field of view. The scene looks better lit thanks to the sun off to the left. In this ultrawide landscape shot, the Pixel has a clear advantage when it comes to brightness. The iPhone warmed things up a bit too much in response to the cool lighting, and the image is overall dimmer than the Pixel’s. Heading indoors to this produce stand, the Pixel’s shot is brighter and compensates better for the harsh lighting above. I personally prefer the iPhone’s picture here. The Pixel 6 Pro’s image almost looks washed out in comparison, but this comes down to differences in post-processing.

You can see this in the scarecrow’s shirt and background in those blues and reds, plus the red building in the back.

In this photo of the pumpkins, the differences between the two photos is slight, but you can see that the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s picture looks a tad more saturated. But with that in mind, let’s take a look at how these cameras compare. The feature’s not perfect, but wow is it amazing. The Pixel will recommend things to remove, or you can select things on your own. This effectively removes photobombers and superfluous elements from your photos.
The Pixel 6 Pro has a trick up its sleeve, Magic Eraser. And with the AI smarts of Tensor and the upgraded Neural Engine in the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s processor, the computational photography on display here is just incredible.
Google and Apple are the kings of smartphone photography, besting everyone else in the industry. This is where the two phones are closest to each other. You also get the same 128GB of storage in the $899 Pixel 6 Pro as you do in the $1,099 iPhone 13 Pro Max. The Pixel 6 Pro starts at $200 less than the iPhone 13 Pro Max while offering competitive features. Simply put, Google wins out over the iPhone 13 Pro Max in this category.
