Apple iPhone 17 Pro vs Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold

Our Verdict: The Apple iPhone 17 Pro has the clearer appeal for 6.3" display LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED, 48MP rear camera and 18MP selfie camera, 256GB to 1TB storage; the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold pushes back through the sharper 42MP selfie camera, the larger 5015mAh battery, with the usual caveat that capacity is not the whole battery-life story. Contract pricing is close too, with the cheapest total costs around £943 for the Apple iPhone 17 Pro and £935 for the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold. There is also much wider deal availability for the Apple iPhone 17 Pro, with 19,123 active deals versus 1,490. Software preference matters as well, because this is an iOS versus Android choice as much as a hardware comparison. For most buyers, the decision comes down to whether Apple iPhone 17 Pro or the sharper 42MP selfie camera is more useful day to day.

Over a full contract, the iPhone 17 Pro works out around £1119 all-in, about £102 less than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
