Google states that Apple's iPhone XS has a ridiculously bad camera

You have not bought iPhone XS, is not it?

Is it too late to make it? Or maybe you could sell it on eBay or the nearest street corner?

You see, I just heard that the XS has a terrible camera, terrible, really bad.

I know that Apple is constantly linking it with its "Shot on iPhone" campaign, but Google insists that as soon as you try to take a picture in the dark, you get a picture that is almost entirely black.

I judge that from a fully enthusiastic tweet issued Saturday night by Google's vice president of product marketing, Marvin Chow.

He presented two pictures. On the left, a night scene was shot on an iPhone XS. On the right, the same scene would have been filmed with the Night Sight function of Pixel 3.

You will be stunned by the torpor because you will see that the person who is shooting with the iPhone XS would not have been disturbed, while the lucky soul with the Pixel 3 should instantly enter his photo in every rewards show on Earth.

When things are placed in such relief, it is inevitable that some will wonder if all this is exaggerated.

I have not heard too many owners of the iPhone XS curse the fate of having them forced to buy a phone that does not faithfully record their nocturnal adventures.

Indeed, my colleague Jason Cipriani reviewed the XS system and found that he had "an exceptional camera".

Here, however, I am supposed to believe that it is an embarrassment that appears to be wearing a fur vest during a PETA evening.

Some might fear, given the timing of Chow's tweet, that it only means a simple start for Google dismissing the iPhone XS at the weekend's Super Bowl. next end.

It would certainly be painful for Apple 's followers to see their flagship phone humiliated, just as I hope Patriots coach Bill Belichick could be during the match.

Again, Pixel 3 does not seem to have made a big step forward in capturing consumer minds. Rather like pixels 1 and 2.

That's not to say that it's not a good phone. It's just that few have found it compelling and, indeed, its marketing has not really inspired broad swathes of commitment.

It is interesting to note that when phone brands seem to have a hard time selling their products, they choose to compare themselves to the iPhone.

In 2014, Samsung insisted that the purchase of a Galaxy S5 was motivated by the fact that the camera of the iPhone was visibly, visibly poor.

In its first introduction to Night Sight, Google has offered good publicity, but chose not to disturb the iPhone.

It seems that this has not been effective enough, so it is time to denigrate the iPhone.

Selling phones in a declining market is difficult. People are generally satisfied with the phone that they have and are not moved by the idea of ​​spending four digits at the purchase of a new one.

Indeed, it was not so long ago, I went to a Verizon store and asked a seller what was the main reason for buying a Pixel 3.

No, he did not say the camera.

Instead, he replied that it was neither an iPhone nor a Samsung Galaxy.
