Summary
Google’s Pixel 11 Pro XL is expected to arrive first, with a Made by Google event set for Aug. 12 and a rumored release on Aug. 20.
Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro Max is tipped for a Sept. 9 reveal and Sept. 18 sale, with analysts expecting its starting price to rise from $1,199 to $1,299 or even $1,399.
Both phones are rumored to move to 2nm chips — Apple’s A20 Pro and Google’s Tensor G6 — while keeping large OLED displays at 6.9 inches and 6.8 inches respectively.
Camera and battery leaks point to different selling points: Apple may add variable aperture and a 5,567 mAh battery, while Google could push zoom to 120x and keep 45W charging.
The comparison suggests Apple is leaning into hardware refinement and endurance, while Google is expected to press its AI advantage with Android 17 and deeper Gemini features.
