Some features that make Pixel desirable over iPhone are:

Cloud Storage - Google offers unlimited storage of photos/videos at original quality whereas iPhone limits to 5 GB.

VR - Pixel is made with VR in mind and the new VR headset would help many since Google claims it will be comfortable for users with glasses as well; so far no other VR can be worn comfortable with glasses. It’s also specified to be light weight and can be taken along during travels. The controller provided along with the gadget is known to aid in use of the gadget rather than the difficult controls in other VR gadgets. This is just the beginning of VR and we can expect more exciting things to come out of it.
