Apple iPhone 11 vs Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold

Our Verdict: The main spec advantages sit with Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, particularly 5G support where iPhone 11 tops out at 4G and more storage headroom, up to 512GB. iPhone 11 counters with a lighter 194g body. SIM-free pricing favours iPhone 11 at £118.00 versus £619.99, while contract totals favour iPhone 11 at about £486.00. Treat the battery numbers as context rather than a direct iOS-versus-Android runtime verdict. That leaves Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold as the spec-led pick, while iPhone 11 is the thriftier route.

The iPhone 11 is the cheaper one to own: around £486 over a typical contract, £754 less than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
