Summary
$1,199 is Apple’s starting price for the 6.3-inch iPhone 18 Pro, $100 above Google’s 6.3-inch Pixel 11 Pro at $1,099 after Apple unveiled its late-2026 hardware lineup.
6.3-inch displays, 1-120Hz refresh rates, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, satellite SOS and IP68 ratings leave the two phones closely matched on core hardware and connectivity.
A20 Pro and Apple’s new variable-aperture 48MP main camera stand out on the iPhone, while the Pixel counters with a 50MP main sensor, 12GB or 16GB RAM and 30+ hour battery claims.
Storage pricing widens the gap higher up the range: Apple offers up to 2TB and pushes the iPhone 18 Pro Max to $2,499, while the Pixel 11 Pro line tops out at 1TB.
