The first renders of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro have surfaced, which show a striking similarity to the iPhone. The inspiration from Apple’s iPhone 12 and 15 design is evident, with the Pixel 9’s flat edges and finishes resembling the iPhone 12 and iPhone 15 design. The Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro also resemble the latest Samsung S24 design. The most notable difference lies in the camera placement, with Apple opting for a camera bump while Google chooses a horizontal camera bar.
Android developers have historically drawn inspiration from the iPhone’s design, while Google’s Pixel phones have embraced curved edges and softer shapes. However, with the new Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro, Google seems to have adopted a design language more akin to Apple’s recent iPhones and the latest Samsung S24 design. The back of the Pixel 9 devices features a horizontal camera bar, distinguishing them from the iPhone’s camera bump.
