The last thing you expect from an Apple launch is the new iPhone 17 <\/a>undercutting its historically cheapest Android rival. But that strange, unexpected move from Apple has turned the heads of some Pixel fans. <\/p>\n Here are the basics. Apple\u2019s base iPhone 17 comes with more storage compared to the Pixel 10 (128GB vs. 256GB) for the same amount of money ($799), a higher resolution display with more pixel density (422 vs. 460ppi), slimmer bezels, and a better spec selfie camera (18MP vs. 10.5MP). <\/p>\n ForbesPayPal And Venmo Make Free $200 Perplexity Offer To Millions Of UsersBy Janhoi McGregor<\/a><\/p>\n However, the Pixel phone has a significantly larger battery (3692 mAh vs. 4970 mAh), more advanced AI tools, and a triple camera setup compared to the iPhone 17\u2019s two rear-facing sensors. <\/p>\n Despite that, the iPhone\u2019s credentials have predictably turned heads of Pixel fans in the Pixel subreddit<\/a>. \u201cI have owned exclusively Nexus and Pixel phones for 10-15 years now (whenever they were released) and even I\u2019m tempted with the iPhone 17 offering,\u201d one Redditor said. \u201cI am team Pixel. But today, after seeing the Apple presentation and the launch of the iPhone 17 Pro, I think I’ll leave Google this time.\u201d Another admitted. <\/p>\n Apple has pulled the rug out from under Google. There has been a long unwritten rule\u2014and agreement\u2014between smartphone manufacturers: the base model is cheap, accessible and forgettable. A device for people who want the latest model with long battery life. That is precisely why the base Pixel 10 has a lower resolution display with a big battery. <\/p>\n ForbesApple Slashes iPhone 17 Trade-In Prices In Surprise MoveBy Janhoi McGregor<\/a><\/p>\n But that agreement has been broken, and Apple has released a near Pro-level device at a low, competitive price. Marquess Brownlee described the iPhone 17 as the best value smartphone available right now. I concur. As someone who spends their time telling people what is and what isn\u2019t worth their money, Apple indeed have one of the best entry-level deals I have ever seen from the major smartphone manufacturers. <\/p>\n The Apple iPhone 17 Has A Special Pull <\/p>\n 05 August 2025, Berlin: The camera system of a Google Pixel 10 Pro smartphone.

An affordable and accessible iPhone with high-end hardware will turn every head, even the most die-hard Android user. Apple tech just has that pull. <\/p>\n Now, the Pixel 10 won\u2019t remain at $799 for very long. In fact, I\u2019m surprised it still is. Google isn\u2019t shy about deep, consistent discounts<\/a>. The kind that Apple simply never bothers with. Even currently, Google is giving away $100 prepaid cards to Pixel 10 buyers and teasing a sale for later this week<\/a>. At best, you will see Amazon U.K. knock $100 off the iPhone 17 <\/a>at some point next year. Or, of course, you can take up a contract and get the handset cheaper, but as regular readers will know, unlocked is almost always the best value. <\/p>\n Until that Google sale lands, Apple has achieved something we don\u2019t see too often: undercut an Android phone in price and hardware. A rare value for money win for the iPhone 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The iPhone 17 is displayed during an announcement of new products at Apple Park on Tuesday, Sept. 9,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":153865,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[70532,70533,70530,70531,70528,70534,2306,70527,70535,86,56,54,55,70536,70529],"class_list":["post-153864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-apple-store-near-me","tag-cost-of-iphone-17-pro-max","tag-how-much-does-an-iphone-17-cost","tag-iphone-17-material","tag-iphone-17-pro-max-in-stock-near-me","tag-iphone-17-pro-max-storage","tag-mobile","tag-nasdaq-aapl","tag-nasdaq-goog","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-what-is-the-newest-google-pixel-phone","tag-which-iphone-17-should-i-get"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153864"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153864\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/153865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
