> The pixel 4 is older and much more of a budget device compared to the iphone 12, I am not sure why you are comparing the two.

The Pixel 4 and the iPhone 12 both MSRP'd at $799 when they were released. Not sure how the Pixel is considered "much more of a budget device" in comparison. Technically the iPhone 12 mini is $100 cheaper than either of those, with the same basic hardware as the larger 12.
