Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro is set to launch on Friday, September 18th, and some observers are noting that Google has recently reduced prices on its latest Pixel phones, which could be a strategic move to attract buyers before the new iPhone release. Among the most discounted models is the Pixel 11 Pro, which is now available for around $1,007 at Amazon. This price is close to the original cost of the base model, despite the fact that the Pixel 11 Pro offers twice as much storage (256GB) compared to the base version, which saw a $100 price increase this year. The standard Pixel 11 is also more affordable now, selling for approximately $840 at Amazon—$60 less than its starting price. This makes it easier for consumers to access Google’s new features, such as Camera Looks and Magic Capture, which are exclusive to the Pixel 11. The Pixel 11 shares the same processor and amount of RAM as the cheapest Pixel 11 Pro, with the main difference being the camera system. Price reductions are also visible in the lower end of Google’s Pixel lineup, specifically the Pixel 10A. Originally priced at $499 with the Pixel 9’s Tensor G4 processor, the Pixel 10A is now available for $424 at Amazon and Best Buy. This kind of discount is not new, and it raises the question of whether upgrading from an older A-series model is necessary or if a more budget-friendly option would be better. Currently, the Pixel 11 Pro is available for $1,007 at Amazon, while it remains at $1,099 at Google and Best Buy. The Pixel 11 is priced at $839 at Amazon, compared to $899 at Google and Best Buy. The Pixel 10A is available for $424 at Amazon and Best Buy for the 128GB version, and $524 at Amazon for the 256GB version.
