EDITORIAL: The small version of iPhone 16 Pro Max is a technological marvel (with a less-than-a-day battery life). It offers outstanding video recoding, top processor, screen and a camera like iPhone 16 Pro Max but trades battery endurance for a one hand size. The new camera control button may be just a gimmick but some of the Apple AI tricks have arrived at the end of October and help make 2024 iPhones that much better.
PROs
smooth A18 Pro chip performance, >1700nits bright (460ppi) LTPO OLED with Dolby Vision, up to 6m of water submersion, the 16 Pro Max matching camera setup: 48MP main and 12MP tele with OIS and PDAF plus a 48MP PDAF ultrawide, a 12MP OIS PDAF Selfie and up to 6 years of updates of already very mature iOS
CONs
lack of innovation in recent years, disappointing AI effort, barely a day of battery endurance, >90min 45W slow battery charging (25W wireless), lack of expandable storage, no Desktop replacement software

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of processor and software performance) In what is now Google tradition, new Pixel is a small improvment over the previous model: new processor, improved WiFi and faster (15W->25W) wireless charging is all that is really different things time.
PROs
flagship built, very bright ~2000nits 420ppi 120Hz OLED screen with HDR10+, IP68 protection, good imaging from a 48MP 25mm OIS main + 10.8MP 112mm OIS tele + 13MP ultrawide (all 3 PDAF) setup, excellent 10.5MP 20mm PDAF selfie, decent video recording, 7 years of OS updates promise with AI and other features loaded Android version, some desktop replacement functionality, fast USB-C 3.2 port
CONs
mediocre Tensor G6 (3nm) processor with UFS 4.0 performance, only 24hr endurance from a 4900mAh old-tech lithium battery with 90min slow 30W (25W wireless) charging, no memory expansion, limited market availability, expensive for a midrange phone
