Your analysis is very helpful! I'm having a hard time deciding between the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but I think the iPhone 16 Pro Max would be a better choice for me.

    Cake, 05 Mar 2025Those ones are a raritynot especially, plenty of people i know have galaxy s10s or s20s with no intent to upgrade in the next 2-3 years. You just think this is iPhone exclusive because like me, you live in the US, but unlike me, you live in a circle chock full of iPhones.

          Before the S24 Ultra was on top, above the 16 Pro Max and now when the S25 Ultra goes on sale the 16 PM goes on top. LOL

          Samsung is sleeping 😴.

          Not really a fan of iPhone but their durability/reliability is just unmatched. They just keep going. This is my personal experience.

            My dad still uses the iPhone 7+ that he got in 2016.
            He may get the 17 Pro Max or the 18 Pro Max, though

            You'll still see some people rocking the iPhone 6s .
            Can't really proclaim the same about android.

            My mom's Galaxy S7 edge also got in 2016 died due to motherboard failure in only 5 YEARS

              Y'all gonna put your update list in chronological order???

                what has the iPhone managed to do that puts it above the honor magic 7 pro, the Xiaomi 15 pro, the oneplus 13, the find x8 pro, the iqoo 13, the realme GT 7 pro, or the vivo x200 pro? this list is such a joke.

                  ok, for gsm team *android flagships are bad when they don't come with charger
                  *they are bad when they costs more than 1000 dollars
                  *they are bad when they have slight improvement over predecessor
                  *they are bad when they have some minute issues with camera & chipset
                  and in case of iphones gsm team don't have any problems with these above mentioned issues!!!! iphones are perfect, made from heaven with gods hand. we get it.

                            Having "Illogical image quality disparity between 10x and slightly lower zoom levels" could have been appropriate for the S23 Ultra, but not anymore in the S24 Ultra. They removed the 10x optical zoom camera, replacing it with a (higher resolution) 5x

                                16ProMax is way better than your Galaxy s24 GSMArena. BTW, why bother reviewing iPhones when you're a super android fan people. LOL Hypocrisy at its best. Just saying.
