**Testing Public App: iPhone 11 vs Google Pixel**
Investing with Public
-------------------
One of the standout features of the Public app is its ability to allow users to invest in companies without having to break the bank. With Public, users can buy slices or fractions of a stock, allowing them to invest whatever amount they feel comfortable with. This means that even if you only have $50 to spare, you can still invest in a company that has a stock price of over three hundred dollars. The app's technology allows for fractional investing, which is not typically available on traditional brokerage platforms.
In terms of the maximum investment limit, Public states that users can invest up to ten thousand dollars. However, it's worth noting that the app does allow users to invest as little or as much as they want, making it accessible to a wide range of investors. Additionally, even if you don't invest in stocks, you can still earn interest on your money with Public, earning you 2.5% interest.
Phone Test
------------
In our phone test, we compared the iPhone 11 and Google Pixel 4 XL side by side. Each device was subjected to a one-hour phone call, where a robot covered the proximity sensor for most of the time. Consistent audio came in from the other end of the phone call, ensuring that both devices were tested equally.
After the phone call, we moved on to the messaging test, where we texted back and forth with our automated shop BOTS to simulate a real-world text messaging conversation. We controlled for all variables that could affect the results, setting the displays brightness to 200 nits and keeping both phones at equal distance from our mini cell tower.
The results showed that both devices performed well in this test, but the iPhone 11 did slightly better, increasing its lead by two percentage points. This was consistent with our previous tests, where the iPhone 11 also performed better in terms of call quality.
Email Test
-------------
In our email test, we opened up a set of emails and scrolled through them to simulate how you would read email in real life. We were after one hour of doing so, and the results showed that the iPhone 11 performed better once again, dropping only 8% compared to the 10% drop on the Pixel.
Browser Test
-------------
In our browser test, we cycled through a set of websites on both devices to simulate how you would use the internet. We were after one hour of doing so, and the results showed that the iPhone 11 was able to add another percentage point to its lead, pulling six points ahead of the Pixel.
Instagram Test
----------------
In our Instagram test, we scrolled through the home feed on both devices to simulate how you would use the app. We were after one hour of doing so, and the results showed that both devices performed similarly, dropping by an equal 10%. The iPhone 11 still managed to preserve its six-point lead.
Standby Test
-------------
In our standby test, we left both devices alone for 16 hours with motion sense enabled on the Pixel. However, even with motion sense disabled, the Pixel's display was affected, causing a big difference in battery life. After 16 hours, the iPhone dropped by 10%, while the Pixel dropped by 14%. This put the iPhone at a full 10-point lead.
YouTube Test
-------------
In our YouTube test, we played a set of videos on both devices and calibrated their displays and speakers to the same decibel counts. We were after one hour of YouTube binge-watching, and the results showed that the iPhone added another two percentage points to its lead.
Gaming Test
-------------
In our gaming test, we played Altos Adventure on both devices for one hour. The results showed that the Pixel's 90Hz display looked great, but at a cost - it consumed more battery power than the iPhone. After one hour of gaming, the Pixel dropped by 21%, while the iPhone dropped by 15%.
Maps Test
------------
In our maps test, we used both devices to navigate for 43 minutes, with their GPS sensors turned on and checking for traffic information. The results showed that the Pixel's 90Hz display made it unable to continue navigating after 43 minutes, leaving it with just 6% of battery life remaining.
Spotify Test
-------------
In our Spotify test, we listened to music on both devices for 43 minutes, and the results showed that the iPhone 11 was able to last much longer than the Pixel. After 43 minutes, the iPhone 11's screen went dark, while the Pixel's screen still had some life left in it. This put the iPhone at a full hour of screen time longer than the Pixel.
Battery Test Conclusion
------------------------
After testing both devices for 24 hours and 43 minutes, the Apple iPhone 11 emerged as the clear winner in terms of battery life. With a total runtime of 24 hours and 43 minutes, the iPhone 11 lasted significantly longer than the Google Pixel 4 XL, which was unable to last beyond 17 hours.
Overall, our tests showed that while both devices performed well in various tasks, the iPhone 11's battery life was superior to the Pixel. This makes it a great choice for users who want a reliable device that can last throughout the day without needing to be recharged frequently.
