  • iPhone 12 Pro Max and the S21 Ultra 5G are the top flagship models from Apple and Samsung right now. In this video I compare Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro Max against the Samsung 21 Ultra 5G and show you the differences including price, displays, cameras, speed, 5G, speakers, android vs iOS 14 and much more. Both the S21 Ultra 5G and iPhone 12 Pro Max are great, but I help you decide which is best for you. #iPhone12pro #S21ultra #comparison

    I'm so deeply rooted into the Apple ecosystem I can't escape it at this point. With all of the Apple products I own, it would be like throwing money away if I switch now. The S21 Ultra looks AMAZING and I really want one, but with everyone I know having an iPhone and being able to airdrop and send things through iMessage, switching would be a major inconvenience. Not to mention, I would have to buy all Samsung products to replace my current Apple ones. Apple really knows how to rope you in.
    Edit: This comment is now obsolete. Switched to the S21 Ultra 😁

      @@fiogray I honestly love it. I would say the only downside would be that the battery life is slightly worse compared to the 12 pro. It could be because I have DriveSense from Esurance running constantly, but I did the same with the 12 Pro and I would have at least 40% left by the end of the day, where with the S21 Ultra I have 12%. Also, you could even include the ugly emojis and ugly "memoji" as a small con. Other than that, I really have no complaints. This is the first time I've used android in over 5 years and the improvements are pretty amazing.

    I was with Apple from 2007 until 2017. Had an awesome run with iPhones but it seemed on those models that the battery wasn't great and would die at random percentages like 24% for example. Then switched to Android and enjoyed the S8 and S10. Now I'm really impressed with the latest iPhones and I'm thinking of switching back when the 13 comes out. Apple is just brilliant when it comes to its design too.

That tells me a lot about 'preferences' of 'about the same' phones.. I'm not young anymore, and not stupidity hot about gadget (still love them), so am willing to wait with my Note 9 until next year.

    After using the s21 ultra for some time now and getting rid of my iPhone, I have to say I'm very impressed. The problem that continues to plague Android or Samsung is that things just don't work as good as Apple. This phone is smooth, fast, but when it comes to links to windows or Samsung flow they never seem to work correctly. Now you have to pay to keep your photos as well by purchasing microsoft products. I can honestly say if you are strictly about just having a good phone packed with features get this phone. But if you use your phone for work, and need an all in one ecosystem you have to go apple.

    I upgraded some months ago to the iPhone 12 Pro Max from the Galaxy S20 Plus. I don't like the iPhone and I mostly have compatibility issues. For example, I do not get the full features of the Galaxy Watch 3 that I had on the S20. There are also random annoyances adjusting to the iPhone where I could easily perform a task on my S20. Since I have Galaxy buds, a Galaxy watch and I've been using Samsung for several years, I perceived everyday use of iMessage and Facetime don't outweigh the costs and I lose from the Samsung line.
    One other thing to mention, selfies in mediocre light look terrible on the iPhone. I take more selfies that I use the main cameras. All of my iPhone connectability that I have with family will all now have to be done on my iPad Air 4.

    I pondered over S21 Ultra and 12 Pro Max...went with the S21 Ultra. For me, the 120hz display, camera, and customization won the day. Also to a lesser extent USB-C over lightning. All of my devices including iPad Pro and laptop use USB-C and I have one 90W PD charger to charge them all. I just like standardizing to USB-C...just my preference. Finally, the pre-order deals from Samsung were amazing. Got my 128GB S21 Ultra for $522 shipped after trade-in allowance, 10% education employee discount from Samsung and $100 instant rebate from Verizon, plus the $200 credit toward accessories to seal the deal. So far, no regrets...I love my S21 Ultra.

    The higher viewing resolution on the iPhone 12 Pro Max must be a weird RUclips thing because of course the Galaxy S21 Ultra has a much higher resolution display (and 120hz). As a Samsung owner, my main complaint with my S21 Ultra (and every other Samsung device) is that the actual apps and software seem to be less optimized than their Apple counterparts. I realize this is because Apple holds a much tighter grip on it's operating system, but I still wish that Samsung and Google would work closer together, in the future, to optimize the software experience better. If you compare the specs of the S21 Ultra and the iPhone 12 Pro Max, is clear that Samsung has the upper hand in most categories. That makes me wonder how good the S21 Ultra could be if Samsung and Google actually worked together to optimize it amazingly. I understand that Samsung and Google are competing with each other on a lot of levels, but I think Samsung and Google would both do better if Samsung kept pushing out great hardware and Google kept pushing out great software; their respective top-of-the-line fields in my opinion. I know the reason why Samsung is pushing for its own software (TouchWiz; One UI 3, 4, etc.) is because people are tending to keep their hardware longer, but I think that if Samsung keeps offering great trade-in deals every year and maybe works better with carriers to make even snazzier deals, then they could keep selling their hardware every single year and let Google optimize the software like they do with their Pixel phones. Google's Pixel phones unfortunately don't have great hardware, but the results, especially from their cameras, are amazing because of Google software . . . just imagine the Apple killer Samsung and Google could make together! By the way, don't get me wrong, I prefer Samsung Galaxy smartphones any day over Apple smartphones, I just think that Samsung could do even better.

    I am in this current dilemma. To stick with Galaxy, or go back to iPhone. Another point to consider is the different companies and what THEY have to offer. If ordering from Samsung themselves, you get a $250 store credit to stock up on different Samsung gear (buds, watches, tablets, charging bases, cases, etc.) Apple does not offer anything like this. I like the vibrance and color of the iPhone 12 Pro camera, but I would want to have my gear to go with it.

    funny part in terms of pictures and videos is that if you watch it on the phone itself, the differences become absolute. Might be a fancy party trick to make a video in 8k. But how many people really go on their pc or tv to watch all those 8k videos? Besides that they would need an 8K screen to begin with. On the phone even 4k is not noticeable at all, besides it taking up quite a bit more space.
    Been using iphones for quite some time now and never had any issues in terms of software or anything. Only problem, which you will always have after a few years, is battery degradation.
    Anyway since I've heard that the upcomming iphone might get some really interesting updates over the 12, I'm probably going to wait untill that one comes out and see which ones of the rumors actually made it and how much of a difference it makes. Of course that's still going to take some time, so my iphone 8plus will have to stand by me for it's 4th year :P
    Many people whine about iphones being almost the same every year. The trick is to not buy a new phone every year... it's that simple. If I upgrade now, I would have a lot more changes. Compared to the pro, I would get an extra lens, bigger screen, no home button (for even more screen), face ID, much faster phone compared to my 8plus etc.
    And I also never had any issues with my oher apple products. My older ipad is still being used by my parents, I don't even know how old that thing already is xD
    My mom is still using my previous iphone 6s, my new ipad is also a few years old now, still works like a charm. iwatch series 4, another thing I certainly don't need to upgrade every year. And the airpods 2 also come in very handy when I'm doing stuff, where my headphones would be a bit to much or not alowed like at work and can easily use one earpiece at once.

    Aaron, dumb question here, but if the apple iPhone screen only has a resolution of 2778 x 1284, how can you see 4k video for instance in a RUclips video. Or if you take a 4k video from the iPhone, and you play it back, are you really seeing it in 4k or 2778x1284? I have an 11 Pro Max and sometimes I have the option in RUclips to see a video in 4k even though i know my phone display can't go that high.. thanks,. confused.

    Watching on my iPhone 12 Pro Max really considering giving the S21 Ultra a try getting fed up with the same stuff from iPhone only difference seems to be the frame and new chip don’t get me wrong great phone but apple just need to change it up a little more looking at the 11 pro max there isn’t too much of a difference

    I have both. I’m stuck on, family and friends have iPhones but I love the stuff I can do to an android that iPhone refuses to let me change. But every time I change to android I get criticized lol. I like the camera on the iPhone for my kids since they move a lot but with android it’s a hit or miss.

      Yeah same issue with me. I’m debating on what to do since I just bought the 21 ultra. I have a iPhone 11 and it’s my first iPhone and I love it but I miss a lot on android. I have more people on iOS so I like FaceTime and iMessage and I do have the beats and iPad and air pods and they work really good together. I’m honestly thinking about returning the 21ultra and wait on the iPhone 13 or the note and sees what happens. But i do like Apple wallet and I use that a lot. There’s just some things I don’t like about Apple ofc and the same with android but it all depends on what you like. Or why not have both? Lol
