One thing worth noting is that Apple is reportedly planning a major change to its iPhone release cycle this year, adopting a two-phase rollout starting with the iPhone 18 series.

Google's new Pixel 10A starts at $500, while Apple's most affordable phone, the iPhone 16E, starts at $600. We compare their features and specs to see how they stack up.

Google unveiled the Pixel 10A on Wednesday, after a series of teasers over the past few weeks.

But Google isn't giving in, as the Pixel 10a costs $499 for the 128GB version, which matches its predecessor, the Pixel 9a.
