Google emphasizes that the Pixel 9a offers a larger and brighter display, a more substantial battery, and a dual-camera system. The device also features advanced AI capabilities such as Add Me (for merging photos with AI), Best Take (optimizing facial expressions), and Magic Editor (enabling drag-and-drop editing and the addition of AI elements).
Additionally, Google’s Gemini is noted for its seamless integration with Google apps, enabling natural language conversations through Gemini Live, a feature that Siri currently lacks. Gemini supports 45 languages in all regions where the Pixel 9a is available, contrasting with Apple Intelligence, which supports only 9 languages.
Notably, Apple Intelligence does not yet support Turkish and cannot be utilized on iPhones set to the Turkish language. Apple’s promotional material for the iPhone 16 Pro even altered the phrase “Hello Apple Intelligence” to “Designed for Apple Intelligence.”
Google boasts a commitment to providing 7 years of software updates, surpassing Apple’s 5-year guarantee. Regarding pricing, the Pixel 9a starts at $499 in the U.S., while the iPhone 16e is available from $599, highlighting the Pixel’s more budget-friendly appeal.
