Google Pixels Outpace iPhones in AI Features, But Apple Aims to Catch Up

Google's Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are outpacing Apple's iPhones in AI capabilities like transcription, translation, image editing, and more.

Analysts speculate Apple is developing more advanced AI servers and tools, aiming to catch up to rivals by 2024 with iOS 18 and iPhone 16.

Apple currently uses AI in Siri, search, and image processing, but lags behind new generative AI abilities.

Google touted "AI-first" Pixel 8 phones with on-device processing via Tensor G3 chip and new apps utilizing AI.

Apple needs to accelerate its AI efforts to match new abilities from Google, Samsung, and others in areas like language, speech, images.
