The latest Google Pixel phone (you know, the one that Google actually set the price for) appears to cost the exact same as the latest iPhone ($999 for pro, $799 for non-pro). And I would argue against the "less good" bit too.

I think this analysis is not in keeping with reality, and I doubt if that's their strategy.

I doubt anyone buys Pixel phones at full price. They are discounted almost right out of the gate.
