Google’s Pixel phones stole the wrong feature from Apple’s iPhone 7

[Guest Chris Smith]

They’ll also look very much like an iPhone 7, at least the front side — not that it’s a bad thing at this point. While many of the specs and features of the Pixel and Pixel XL are already known, a new report says the phones won’t be able to handle water spills very well at all. If only Google had followed Apple's lead here and made the phones water-resistant, instead of following Apple's lead elsewhere.
