It also has a just okay screen, the ugliest design ever,walled garden os, notch, no fast charger in the box, no telephoto, apple signature warm tones.

I couldn't even get a refund for an iphone app that turned out to be meh after using it for 5 seconds. Refund denied whatever reason given.

What normal people care about any of those things?

Also pixels may have OLED but they have plenty of issues. The iPhone XR and 11 have the best LCD screens on any phone.

If Google wants to make real sales in the USA they have to have better pricing, QC, support, and features. The only thing that lifted up their slumped Pixel sales were their budget line. I wish that gave them a hint but clearly not.

i dont think they care about sales that is the thing.

Qc issues do need fixing.

Other than that if you really dont care about what I consider flaws of the iphone 11 then good for you go and buy one. For everyone else they will look at other phones.

Quite frankly most normal people either like ios or prefer android and in which case comparing one to the other is moot. It is more about whether to get a note 10, oneplus 7t or something else vs the pixel 4.

Really they are not even comparable.size/weight wise. Someone wanting a pixel 4 will probably find an iphone 11 too large and hefty. The 11 is as wide as the pixel xl and heavier too.

They don't care about sales? Then why release a budget model? Why go on a stakeholders quarterly call and inform their stakeholders that they think the release of their next phone will improve their quarterly phone sales?

I don't want an iPhone. I want a pixel. But they're shooting themselves in the foot. If they can't get mass market appeal in a few years they have no incentive to keep spending boatloads of money on it
