Chances are they also have the microphone running; both sucking up your battery and your privacy.

The biggest drawback of the Pixel 4 is video. It can only shoot 4K video at 30 frames per second, and is limited to only 1080P on the selfie cam. Apple can do 4K on iPhone 11's selfie camera and 60 frames per second on the rear cameras.

iPhone 11 can do 4K60 on both the "selfie" front and rear cameras. (ref: https://www.apple.com/iphone-11/specs/ see TrueDepth camera for the "selfie" specs.)

Would have been interesting to see Instagram or WhatsApp on the list of options.

Google blinked. They should be pushing devs to use their 1st party native APIs. That strategy can't be working, so instead they are trying the well-worn path of cross-platform compatibility to coax developers to their platform. Developers would seem to win, and not-so-great apps are better for your ecosystem than no apps; but users dislike sub-par applications and eventually migrate to developers using native APIs.

File this alongside Flash and Java Swing. There's a long line of attempts by smaller ecosystems to obtain more apps when faced with a more successful competitor, from OS/2's DAPIE to Microsoft paying for Windows Phone ports. There's no reason to think this attempt will do anything to stem the market's iOS-first approach.

No. It was 9 of the top 10.

Correct. The non-iPhone:  "The Canon 5D Mark III placed 9th in the Top 10 Devices on Flickr of 2017."
