Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Google Pixel 10 Pro XL

Apple-published outdoor peak, not an independent measurement; HDR peak is 1,600 nits and typical maximum is 1,000 nits.

Manufacturer peak claim; test conditions differ between brands.

Apple publishes 460 ppi directly for this model; no rounded-diagonal calculation is substituted.

Nominal diagonal. Apple UK sources disagree on the standard-rectangle measurement (6.86 versus 6.85 inches); actual viewable area is smaller. See the separate rectangular-diagonal evidence.

Converted from the published 171 mm diagonal using 25.4 mm per inch. Rounded corners reduce viewable area.

UWB is Apple's second-generation Ultra Wideband chip. The exact UK source explicitly lists these capabilities. Wi-Fi 7 and Ultra Wideband remain subject to regional availability; compatible equipment, provider and service conditions apply. This is not measured throughput or a new-generation-only advantage.

Manufacturer dimensions; not a preference or quality score.

Exact UK specification. Weight can differ by configuration; no relative US weight is inferred here.

The comparison retains the UK configuration when the retailer market changes. A model specification does not establish stock or support from a particular network.

Dual SIM (one nano-SIM and eSIM) on the UK model; network bands are listed separately. Check carrier support if you plan to use it outside the UK.

Main camera only; the telephoto and ultrawide have different apertures.

No source recorded for this side.

100/120 fps use the Fusion Main camera; this is distinct from Cinematic mode and does not establish recording quality.

Center Stage front camera. Rear Fusion Main and front Cinematic mode have separate limits.

Optical plus electronic stabilisation is stated for the wide and telephoto cameras only; OIS on the ultrawide is not stated.

The manufacturer does not say whether the front camera has optical stabilisation.

Rear-camera Cinematic mode. Ordinary 4K and front-camera recording are separate modes.

Rated capacity; real battery life depends on use.

Apple claim with a separately sold 40W-capable adapter or higher; not a sustained charging rate.

Checked 13 September 2026: Apple lists iOS 27 for release on 14 September. Siri AI starts in English beta on supported devices, with regional restrictions and daily limits for some server features. It is not an iPhone 18-exclusive capability or a promise of every feature in every language.

No source recorded for this side.

Named in the rear and front recording specifications. The checked material does not establish the newer music-isolation feature or a measured audio-quality result.

Typical capacity. Up to 70% in about 30 minutes with a separately sold 45 W or higher USB-C PPS charger; Pixelsnap wireless charging (Qi2-certified). Google figures, not independent tests.

The checked specification does not identify the cellular modem. The Apple N1 wireless networking chip is a separate component.

The checked A19 Pro specification and launch article do not state the process node. A specification for another A19 variant is not substituted.

No source recorded for this side.

The checked specification lists Cinematic recording but does not establish the newer ordinary-video conversion feature. Editing footage already recorded in Cinematic mode is a separate capability.

No source recorded for this side.

Materials and coating names do not establish comparative drop or scratch resistance.

Four defined classes: RAW stills (ProRAW), professional video codecs (ProRes/ProRes RAW), log capture (Apple Log 2), and external timing (Genlock). Compatible apps and third-party hardware/software may be required. This calculated inventory is not a camera-quality result.

No source recorded for this side.

Requires external recording; not a claim that every lens or the front camera supports this rate.
