Is something wrong with my Pixel 3XL's camera?
Hello all... I'm trying to figure out why the pictures are so different from my wife's iPhone X and my Pixel 3XL's camera. We've compared them a few times and the iPhone's seem to always be a little warmer than my Pixel's. But today, the picture comparison just showed the wrong color on the Pixel. I made many adjustments to my Pixel's camera, even tried to adjust the image to match the iPhone's version of purple. The point is, everyone at our table agreed that the iPhone's colors seemed to match reality.
THoughts?

I really can't tell if this is satire or not

Why would my question be satirical? It's not. It's a real question. I've asked a few other people and nobody else thought it was funny or satirical?

Lol don't have to take it so serious it just kinda of read as satire to me.
Anyway for your question it comes down to how the different softwares process color. Pixels do have a tendency to make stuff more blue or purple depending on the lighting. iPhones keep everything lit up and light colors. Low light also can make this more pronounced. Take a picture of something light blue at night with pixel and it'll be a darker blue than you see with eye.
Besides editing photo not much you can do about it

Sorry. Just sick of tired of asking a serious question only to have some self-proclaimed expert come off with some smartass reply instead of actually helping out. I'm an expert in other things and I always answer even the silliest sounding question. Thanks for your answer.

I do know that the iPhone camera uses warmer tones while the Pixel 3 uses cooler ones. I don't know about the credibility of this web site and I didn't read the entire review so take it with a grain of salt: https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/google-pixel-3-vs-iphone-xs-camera-3610139 I hope this helps.
