An excellent and balanced review. One remark though. The software support is actually not really longer in case of iOS. All iPhone core products are upgraded only as part of the iOS upgrade. In case of Galaxys, they are upgraded separately and much longer than the official 4 year support. In some cases the support is even longer than that of their iOS counterparts. And if you look at features, many of them won’t be available on iPhones long after the official support cycle of Galaxys has ended. For instance the split screen features introduced with Note 3 are still not there for iPhones.
I just prefer the software at Samsung, and I like it better visually.The 10x zoom is great too. I swapped my S21 ULTRA for the ZFLIP3a cool device, but in terms of hardware it can't compete with the Ultra next year I will switch to the S22ULTRA again.
Actually just switched from the iPhone to the s21 ultra. It's phenomenal. I do miss iMessaging sometimes but only because of the convenience of it. I actually really enjoy my s21 ultra way more than I ever thought I would.
You will go back to iPhone 😊 sooner or later is just a better eco system is nothing wrong tho I switch to iPhone then go back to android but when I do I miss the iPhone the simplicity I had the iPhone 13 Pro but ima selll it to get a galaxy s21 ultra I know ima regret it but I always do the same to refresh things because since ima skip the iPhone 14 pro max but I do Gonna get the iPhone 15 pro max if I see something new that is worth the upgrade
I have decided to just switch back and forth the 13 pro max battery has been amazing but the s21 ultra charges pretty fast. The 21 just feels like a good refresh each time I switch. They both are good in there own right. The echo system sucked me in with apple.

I can see you love your Samsung Ultra. Great honest and well spoken review/comparison. Since I started to follow you I have to admit you have been on top of this tech and you know what your speaking about. Thanks for another great video.
I'd have to disagree about the longevity thing. All iPhone users I've known couldn't get past 3 years without doing something like a screen or battery... My mom still uses her S9+ without issue and that's from 2018... And still going strong. So all depends. But typically I see iphones getting replaced more often, especially because they force updates and tell you that certain apps won't work because the phone is "outdated", or simply the battery/screen gets ruined from basic usage within even a year!
I’m sorry but all you have said is subjective. Apple objectively supports its devices for way longer with iOS updates. You’re lucky to get more than 3 years of support through updates in android, while Apple supports it devices for 6-7 years. Talking about your experience doesn’t really say much, as someone else’s experience could be different.
No way on top of that hoe long does it really take for samsung to actually receive an update takes for ever but the time new software is out new phone is out like what ?!?!?@
@@ghas4151 apple only does that because of how behind they are. Samsung doesn't really have to release updates as they're ahead of the game. I've had more features then any iPhone I've ever had or seen, even the brand new ones coming out. Heck, iPhone now uses Samsung screens because they were so behind 😂 As for the updates, I personally get security updates all the time. Might not be feature adding but again, we have all the features we'd want. Apple on the other hand has to constantly update and add new features to please their crowd, even though Android has had them even since the beginning 😂 like widgets? That's been around for as long as I can remember on Android... Also, my mom's Samsung S9 still has an older version of Android, and it runs better then your new 15 update. Heck even this old phone I have from back when iPhone 7 came out, works like a new phone today. In addition, iPhone constantly makes phones obsolete by forcing apps to no longer be compatible, etc.. Android doesn't do that, nor does Samsung
13pro max video are better (most cases) And s21 ultra picture are better (most cases) But i would recommend you to go for some digital camera like nikonD5000 instead (if you are fully focused on photography and filming)
@@Bobby-rf2ec And that Nikon D5000 camera, how much? Can you surf the Web and watch RUclips with it? * I want the best phone to film wild animals in the wild, with the best details and colors accurate. Then I can freeze anywhere and take a single shot. So it seems that the iPhone 13 Pro Max was made specifically for me? Hmmm, what if I want to zoom in say at 30x? Should I also buy the Galaxy S21 Ultra as my second camera unit?
@@robertcharron749 Damm i thought you were talking strictly about photography to professional level Didn't knew that you meant with a phone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway go for 13 pro max with some external telephoto lens For d5000 price it's very old dslr and you can get it by around 250$(old but still gets pretty good clicks)
@@Bobby-rf2ec The video is about two phones; my question was about which one for photos and videos of wildlife. I need both phones; you answered correctly...and beyond.
Hey man I just finished this video and I saw that you had the Tempo app on your iPhone. Do you have one? I’m currently struggling on if I want to buy a Tempo or a Tonal. It would be cool if you could do a review on the Tempo if you do have one!! Thanks bro love your videos
Great content. I don't have the s21 ultra or the Iphone13 pro max, but samsung gives you so much more then Apple can dream of. Dex for one , always on display, type c port, reverse wireless charging no flipping notch, all honesty samsung let's you use your creativity like you said to make your phone your's. While apple Stifles your creativity because they can. And I love my note20 ultra.
Been with Samsung for last 6 years and just sold my s21 ultra and got a 13 pro max on the way!cameras and video always seem way better on the latest iPhones!!and my s21 ultra exynos definitely wasn’t lasting all day and that was without gaming so throw gaming in and would be worse,so let’s see what the iPhone offers 👍🏼
I’m team iPhone 📱, but the S21 Ultra is amazing! So is the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Can’t wait for Verizon to deliver it to me 🔜 Got that Sierra Blue. Omg 😱 it’s gorgeous!!!!
I actually have both, my work supplied a 13 pro and its really good, feels very premium, but when it came to laying my own cash down I had to go with the S21. Its just a more rounded experience, if I can only carry one phone it would be the samsung........That said, it'll soon be time for new hardware so my thoughts may change when the S22 rocks up.
This is an awesome video! I have both phones and I love them both man they're so close. I don't even know which one I prefer over the other. The iphone is newer so it has that going for itself but man the S21 ultra is such a beast too
Because of your former videos i decided to go 4 the ultra - and i did not regrett it. The S21 Ultra is Samsung's smartphone of the century - and already cult. The 13 Pro Max finally is the S21 Ultra for those sticking with iOS.
iPhones are really for those who actually use the apple eco system. I have the Note 20 ultra, the S21 ultra. Bought the 13 pro max and took it back after 3 days because it's just "eh" for me. I don't think much impresses me coming from the S21 ultra. Tried the 12 pro max last year and sold it after a month. It's really a shame because they are beautiful phones and I want to love them, but it doesn't excite me at all what it has to offer
@Kavina B the s21 ultra most likely got better camera and battery so i wouldn't switch it,wait for the galaxy s22 ultra it will come with stylus etc...pretty much a note and s series hybrid
Same feeling here,i try to like iphone but i just can't,i returned my 12 proax last year and did the same this year with 13 pro max.To me beside the impressive battery life on the 13 pro max,my s21 ultra is just superior in so many ways.Iphone is such a boring phone and apple controls everything with restrictions etc...it's just not for me
I’ve gone back and forth between iOS & Android since they both have their strengths and weaknesses. I feel like Samsung specifically is innovating while Apple is stagnating. I ditched my iPad 8th gen for a Tab S7 and while it’s not perfect and I’m still leaning how to use it’s features I really like it. I’m kinda tired of being locked into what Apple decides to give me, no real options where as If I don’t like Samsung’s direction I can look at another brand without repurchasing apps.
this is basically the biggest argument for Android and it is also the reason why Samsung cannot rest. The Chinese are always in position😅.....And it's not just about the cell phone ...... At Apple you are caught in a jiffy because you still have Airpods, Watch, IPad and Mac. .....
Awesome vid. So I have a question for everybody that I could use some help with. I'm at the point where I'm desperately in need of an upgrade and don't really care about OS's or ecosystems too much, I just want the overall best phone. I work in a noisy environment that sometimes doesn't give me the best connection and I don't really have any Android or Apple accessories. If I'm only looking at camera, performance, sound quality and volume, and call quality is the Iphone 13 Pro Max the way to go or is something like the Fold 3 or S21 Ultra the better fit for someone like me?
A as someone who had a Galaxy Note 10+ and just upgraded to the iPhone 13 pro max, I would go with the s21 ultra or wait for the s22 ultra. Overall, you get more bang for your buck, the 100x zoom is awesome (my husband has the s21 ultra), and overall the shortcuts that android has that apple doesn't makes it nice for multitasking :) They both have the basic features you're wanting, but the samsung has just a little more to it thats pretty nice. I'm sticking with the iPhone this year for the apple watch, which has no competition in my humble opinion lol we tried 2 galaxy watches with not the best experience 😅
@@linkinpark2380 Ahh good to know. Always love getting perspective from someone who's been on both sides of the field. Do you happen to notice if one of the phones has a louder speaker than the other or clearer while on a call?
I loved my Samsung S21 Ultra… I didn’t love the os and that’s what inevitably led me to switch back to the iPhone 13 Pro Max and although I lost a few features that s21 Ultra was offering, and truly don’t miss them. iPhones just work and the Apple ecosystem just can’t be beat.
Great video!!... thought what I still think is affecting android phones in the photography department is the 3rd party optimization...😒...they degrade in quality after the picture is uploaded..buh why not work on that..😭
I’m really torn, as I have had iPhone for years and have 2 iPads and an Apple Watch, but I’m starting to really want to try something different and the s21 looks amazing, also was looking at the fold 3, but I don’t want to be losing the system I have with my ecosystem and basically my Apple Watch is non existent if I go for Samsung and will have to get a new watch… so torn
Been long time coming bro. Nice vid and useful too. Excellent job! Both phones are awesome and you won't get disappointed with any of the 2. They are the best so far and would love to rock any of it daily. Hopefully someday I could afford an Ultra or Pro Max. I just tried the demo units of the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max yesterday and I can say they are premium as hell. Built different and I kinda like how they feel. The Pro Max is a heavy slab while the Pro display is a bit small for me. I think the Pro Max is the one I am imagining myself using if ever I get the chance someday. PS Stay safe always!
Love your input as always and I appreciate the support. I hope you get the phone you’re wanting soon. Just keep going my bro and you stay safe as well.
I’ve been team Galaxy for 3yrs and decided I wanted to give the 13 PM a try. It’s going back today. Tapping the iPhone screen sounds hollow while the Galaxy sounds solid. Google apps run well on the iPhone but run better on Galaxy. Notifications, while improved on iPhone, are still way behind Galaxy. The iPhone camera is great but those zoom cameras have been so handy. Although the 108mp zoom isn’t of a practical nature very often, the moon shots are terrific and always stun my iPhone friends. I could keep going. I’m glad to have the chance to try Apple’s latest but my S21U is going to be welcomed back heartily.
Same with me, I been using the 13pm and android is faster, thee is so many things that android does better, specially usbc that’s a must for fast transfer. I bring it back
Notifications are horrible on ios... I used an iphone 11 pro for sometime... and man the notifications on that phone sucked 🤣 Most of the time I missed my notifications!
Team Galaxy. I have a Galaxy S-10 Lite smartphone and I am thinking of upgrading to the Dark Side. I'm leaning towards the iPhone 13 Pro Max phone from Apple and I am still doing research on the matter. Nice review!!
Boy! Are you dead on with this analysis. I have both phones. I'm switching to the iPhone for my main device because it works well with my MacBook Pro and Ipad in my business. Also because I prefer the flat screen. But I slightly prefer the S21U camera and definitely prefer the ergonomics and the software experience on the Samsung. However in my experience the iPhone has significantly better battery life and their are those refinements that make up for the losses. Also love how bright the screen gets. At the same time the Samsung takes it on the low side. On the speakers I slightly prefer Samsung. All in all as you say it comes down to personal preference.
I never said it didn’t. I simply said when running videos consistently side by side the S21 Ultra will win. Otherwise, the iPhone wins due to its stand by time.
@@OT4Tech these videos showed constant use of both phones the Samsung died at something like 8 hours or so and the iPhone died at 10 or so both with constant use, in one video the iPhone outlasted the phone being used to time the test
iPhone got stale for me. Switched to a Galaxy Z Flip 3 last week. Only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the battery life and camera. Picture in picture for the android driving app is really useful. Carplay looks nicer than android auto, but android auto is more useful (I do delivery).
As designated in the name; phone, they should have as their primary function excellent call connectivity, and audio quality. s21u, which I have, really falls short on sound, particularly within bass frequencies. The standard of iPhones battery life and video recording is preferable too. Yet, the lack of memory card support is problematic when both phone brands have very limited storage capacity at 512gb for high quality recordings. :/
Some people cannot fully enjoy Samsungs whole eco system because of its problems. I love my Samsung S21 ultra along with the watch 3 and it's the only phone that has managed to sway me away from Apple but the Galaxy buds pro gave me a serious ear leaking infection (Google the issue it's valid!). Still I love the S21 ultra that much that I use Apples earpods pro with it. You are right the new iPhones are not comfortable to hold like the S21 ultra is.
Team #Both. For everyday use it's the iPhone 13 Pro (non Max), because I like smaller phones and use it with the apple watch etc., but I still use the S21 Ultra as well with the Galaxy Watch 4. I like both worlds and systems. Whe I use the iOS , I begin to miss Android and the other way around 😂
Why choose when you can have both? I got a Note 20 Ultra, I like it better then S-pen-less21 Ultra. Then I upgraded my work phone which was a iPhone X and got 800$ trade in towards the iPhone 13 Pro Max. 2 phones 1 price can’t complain
I had my iPhone 12 pro max at the beach this summer and the screen under the sun was disappointing couldn't see a thing smh... pulled out that S21 ultra and it was a wrap. I did get that 13 pro max tho
I'm a Note 10+ user already finding that too bulky. The Note and S 21 are even bigger which is why I didn't upgrade.... so, no way I want these phones. But... Apple now makes the 13 Pro with all the bells and whistles of the Max and its a better size. Samsung's smaller S versions always compromise on the capabilities. So after Notes since the 2, I'm giving the Pro 13 a shot.
If rumors are true, the S22 Ultra will be the 1 that'll make me put this awesome 512g Note 10+ away.. I left Apple when the X came out. All I want in my phone is a beautiful large display, speakers & battery.. I don't care for refresh rates, gaming, cameras, etc. It's a damn phone. I spend more time watching movies & media than talking or using any other features on the phone. Most all phones have great cameras now days, which I rarely use.. Coming from Plus Size iPhones? This Note 10+ still feels tiny in my hands & I cannot even grip a basketball.. So my hands aren't large.. I just don't see people trying to make Cinematic Movies with their phones.. That's kinda Gimmicky, imo
I was team Android forever… My last 4 phones were galaxy’s… I went with IPhone 12 Pro Max 8 months ago, and honastly, I see why people stay with their products. Android always has more “Features” but after using the iPhone for a while and being In the ecosystem I found out that I really didn’t care about those features anymore, because apple does all the important shit better. The reason why he’s rokin an Apple Watch in the vid is because it’s better than anything Android offers. I have a Galaxy watch and I can’t run Google apps on it, read that again…🤣 too much fragmentation, and my Galaxy was turning into a billboard with adds on the dam weather app… Android 12 is out, but none of you will see it till next year if you’re lucky… Apps are all run better on iPhone, the build quality is better, All Google apps run perfect on iPhone, and I also have iMessage and FaceTime. I also like pay better than Samsung pay. The combination of the iPhone and MacBook is much better than a Galaxy running dex on a windows laptop, I have both. I’m on that team iPhone shit right about now… it took me a while tho…. 🤣
Such an underrated feature. Said perfectly if you want an all in one phone samsung.... iphone caters more to you buying the iPad, Mac, etc to get the full experience
You're right.... before having Iphone (now) I was android (for 7 years). I just don't know....but I don't think that ....for me now the iPhone has been starting to be boring somehow.....I think I'll go back to Samsung. ill keep my MacBook though ha ha and iPad. Probably ill go back to iPhone when Apple will really really do something for the iPhone I don't know....just to reinvent it or something I don't know
i love both phones and i like both camera bumps. but i was thinking next year i may go with the fold 4 and iphone 14. i want the fold because i love the big display and i watch tons of video but unless they upgrade the cameras to equal the S21 or better, then ill have to buy both the iphone and fold because i also take tons of pictures, as far as games, i rarely play them. and ive heard from many people and You Tubers that the Iphone bionic chip throttles down after 30 minutes of gameplay.
I agree with you the 120hz on the iPhone is not impressive I’m disappointed it jus feels like another iPhone screen I even have to question when does the 120hz rate kicks in but I got to give it to the galaxy that screen feels like magic
Bro you are talking about how much you like the S21 Ultra, yet you are wearing an Apple Watch. Lol. This should be on that ESPN segment called "C'mon Man".
Your right there no difference it just a little things you can do in the Galaxy and little things you could do in the iPhone so if I will pick one I already have the Galaxy but I might upgrade in two years to the 13 because I want to wonder how to used a iPhone it looks awesome both of them and I want to know how to used the FaceTime on the iPhone so none is better than the other I prefer the Galaxy for now
If Apple would just get rid of that Damm notch I might consider the 13 pro Max, but right now I'm all in on the Galaxy S21 ultra! (Edit: I forgot to mention my buddy has the iPhone 13 pro and the screen STILL DIMS when it heats up when it's pressed even lightly. That's some bullsh**. It's not as bad as the 12 pro was but still how does a phone at these price points still.have that issue. S21 ultra has never done that)
I have the iPhone 13 pro not the max, and the Samsung s21 ultra and the battery on 13 pro kills the s21 ultra. Cameras to me are Is preference or what you like. The selfie camera on my 13 to me is better than my s21
@@armwrestling9796 I have DSLR, why would i buy a top notch cameraphone ? Because its always with me ! There is a difference in processing speed and it is noticeable in many scenarios, especially camera and editing. Samsung is weaker and overheats faster. I have s21ultra and my wife 13pro, so I compare them side by side all the time. So far samsung only has "wow" effect , but really isn't perfect. It lacks optimisation and some functions are just useless. I don't think i buy samsung ever again.

Talking about your experience doesn’t really say much, as someone else’s experience could be different.
No way on top of that hoe long does it really take for samsung to actually receive an update takes for ever but the time new software is out new phone is out like what ?!?!?@
@@ghas4151 apple only does that because of how behind they are. Samsung doesn't really have to release updates as they're ahead of the game. I've had more features then any iPhone I've ever had or seen, even the brand new ones coming out. Heck, iPhone now uses Samsung screens because they were so behind 😂
As for the updates, I personally get security updates all the time. Might not be feature adding but again, we have all the features we'd want. Apple on the other hand has to constantly update and add new features to please their crowd, even though Android has had them even since the beginning 😂 like widgets? That's been around for as long as I can remember on Android...
Also, my mom's Samsung S9 still has an older version of Android, and it runs better then your new 15 update. Heck even this old phone I have from back when iPhone 7 came out, works like a new phone today. In addition, iPhone constantly makes phones obsolete by forcing apps to no longer be compatible, etc.. Android doesn't do that, nor does Samsung
Good job! This is the best comparison I've seen! Keep up the great work
Strictly for photographing and filming wildlife which one is best?
13pro max video are better (most cases)
And s21 ultra picture are better (most cases)
But i would recommend you to go for some digital camera like nikonD5000 instead (if you are fully focused on photography and filming)
@@Bobby-rf2ec And that Nikon D5000 camera, how much?
Can you surf the Web and watch RUclips with it?
* I want the best phone to film wild animals in the wild, with the best details and colors accurate.
Then I can freeze anywhere and take a single shot. So it seems that the iPhone 13 Pro Max was made specifically for me?
Hmmm, what if I want to zoom in say at 30x?
Should I also buy the Galaxy S21 Ultra as my second camera unit?
@@robertcharron749 Damm i thought you were talking strictly about photography to professional level
Didn't knew that you meant with a phone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway go for 13 pro max with some external telephoto lens
For d5000 price it's very old dslr and you can get it by around 250$(old but still gets pretty good clicks)
@@Bobby-rf2ec The video is about two phones; my question was about which one for photos and videos of wildlife. I need both phones; you answered correctly...and beyond.
@@robertcharron749 *if you are fully focused on photography and filming*
Jeez read comment properly
Hey man I just finished this video and I saw that you had the Tempo app on your iPhone. Do you have one? I’m currently struggling on if I want to buy a Tempo or a Tonal. It would be cool if you could do a review on the Tempo if you do have one!! Thanks bro love your videos
I have a review coming soon but you may want to hold off. Keep your eyes on my channel tomorrow 😉
@@OT4Tech awesome!
Great content. I don't have the s21 ultra or the Iphone13 pro max, but samsung gives you so much more then Apple can dream of. Dex for one , always on display, type c port, reverse wireless charging no flipping notch, all honesty samsung let's you use your creativity like you said to make your phone your's. While apple Stifles your creativity because they can. And I love my note20 ultra.
Note Gang!!
Hey Jonathan what app are you using for the expert raw? Or does anyone know
Been with Samsung for last 6 years and just sold my s21 ultra and got a 13 pro max on the way!cameras and video always seem way better on the latest iPhones!!and my s21 ultra exynos definitely wasn’t lasting all day and that was without gaming so throw gaming in and would be worse,so let’s see what the iPhone offers 👍🏼
Please tell us later what you think about the iPhone!
Awesome review man. Detailed, informative, great quality camera work 👌. Nice. Keep it up
I’m team iPhone 📱, but the S21 Ultra is amazing! So is the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Can’t wait for Verizon to deliver it to me 🔜 Got that Sierra Blue. Omg 😱 it’s gorgeous!!!!
I actually have both, my work supplied a 13 pro and its really good, feels very premium, but when it came to laying my own cash down I had to go with the S21. Its just a more rounded experience, if I can only carry one phone it would be the samsung........That said, it'll soon be time for new hardware so my thoughts may change when the S22 rocks up.
Agreed!
You work, are they taking new applications? 🥺
This is an awesome video! I have both phones and I love them both man they're so close. I don't even know which one I prefer over the other. The iphone is newer so it has that going for itself but man the S21 ultra is such a beast too
Agreed, it’s harder than ever to decide.
Agree I have the regular pro but it’s like the same I cannot choose love them both
Because of your former videos i decided to go 4 the ultra - and i did not regrett it.
The S21 Ultra is Samsung's smartphone of the century - and already cult.
The 13 Pro Max finally is the S21 Ultra for those sticking with iOS.
Completely agree!
iPhones are really for those who actually use the apple eco system. I have the Note 20 ultra, the S21 ultra. Bought the 13 pro max and took it back after 3 days because it's just "eh" for me. I don't think much impresses me coming from the S21 ultra. Tried the 12 pro max last year and sold it after a month. It's really a shame because they are beautiful phones and I want to love them, but it doesn't excite me at all what it has to offer
I'm thinking of switching from the s21 ultra to the note 20 ultra. Would u advise against this? Which one is the better phone?
@Kavina B the s21 ultra most likely got better camera and battery so i wouldn't switch it,wait for the galaxy s22 ultra it will come with stylus etc...pretty much a note and s series hybrid
Same feeling here,i try to like iphone but i just can't,i returned my 12 proax last year and did the same this year with 13 pro max.To me beside the impressive battery life on the 13 pro max,my s21 ultra is just superior in so many ways.Iphone is such a boring phone and apple controls everything with restrictions etc...it's just not for me
@@kavinab6629 don't switch, s21 ultra is definitely superior to the Note in my opinion
@@Joker-yu5kp my biggest issue is the screen. It felt so flimsy when I was touching it. Almost like it was caving in a bit. Did you experience this?
I’ve gone back and forth between iOS & Android since they both have their strengths and weaknesses. I feel like Samsung specifically is innovating while Apple is stagnating. I ditched my iPad 8th gen for a Tab S7 and while it’s not perfect and I’m still leaning how to use it’s features I really like it. I’m kinda tired of being locked into what Apple decides to give me, no real options where as If I don’t like Samsung’s direction I can look at another brand without repurchasing apps.
this is basically the biggest argument for Android and it is also the reason why Samsung cannot rest. The Chinese are always in position😅.....And it's not just about the cell phone ...... At Apple you are caught in a jiffy because you still have Airpods, Watch, IPad and Mac. .....
Awesome vid. So I have a question for everybody that I could use some help with. I'm at the point where I'm desperately in need of an upgrade and don't really care about OS's or ecosystems too much, I just want the overall best phone. I work in a noisy environment that sometimes doesn't give me the best connection and I don't really have any Android or Apple accessories. If I'm only looking at camera, performance, sound quality and volume, and call quality is the Iphone 13 Pro Max the way to go or is something like the Fold 3 or S21 Ultra the better fit for someone like me?
I would go with the iPhone 13 pro max, because of its simplicity then…
A as someone who had a Galaxy Note 10+ and just upgraded to the iPhone 13 pro max, I would go with the s21 ultra or wait for the s22 ultra. Overall, you get more bang for your buck, the 100x zoom is awesome (my husband has the s21 ultra), and overall the shortcuts that android has that apple doesn't makes it nice for multitasking :) They both have the basic features you're wanting, but the samsung has just a little more to it thats pretty nice. I'm sticking with the iPhone this year for the apple watch, which has no competition in my humble opinion lol we tried 2 galaxy watches with not the best experience 😅
@@jadeg4341 Appreciate the feedback Jade
@@linkinpark2380 Ahh good to know. Always love getting perspective from someone who's been on both sides of the field. Do you happen to notice if one of the phones has a louder speaker than the other or clearer while on a call?
@@MrJ.31 I’m happy to help! :) I would say both are clear and have very loud speakers, so you can’t go wrong with either option~
I loved my Samsung S21 Ultra… I didn’t love the os and that’s what inevitably led me to switch back to the iPhone 13 Pro Max and although I lost a few features that s21 Ultra was offering, and truly don’t miss them. iPhones just work and the Apple ecosystem just can’t be beat.
S21❤
Great video!!... thought what I still think is affecting android phones in the photography department is the 3rd party optimization...😒...they degrade in quality after the picture is uploaded..buh why not work on that..😭
I think it’s more the app developers. Samsung has taken strides to work with Instagram but it seems like it’s still an issue for a lot of people.
Both good, but still enjoying my S21 Ultra! ❤
Even with all the pixel 6 videos that came out today this is still the best video of the day. Great job! 😂
I’m really torn, as I have had iPhone for years and have 2 iPads and an Apple Watch, but I’m starting to really want to try something different and the s21 looks amazing, also was looking at the fold 3, but I don’t want to be losing the system I have with my ecosystem and basically my Apple Watch is non existent if I go for Samsung and will have to get a new watch… so torn
Been long time coming bro. Nice vid and useful too. Excellent job!
Both phones are awesome and you won't get disappointed with any of the 2. They are the best so far and would love to rock any of it daily. Hopefully someday I could afford an Ultra or Pro Max.
I just tried the demo units of the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max yesterday and I can say they are premium as hell. Built different and I kinda like how they feel. The Pro Max is a heavy slab while the Pro display is a bit small for me. I think the Pro Max is the one I am imagining myself using if ever I get the chance someday.
PS Stay safe always!
Love your input as always and I appreciate the support. I hope you get the phone you’re wanting soon. Just keep going my bro and you stay safe as well.
@@OT4Tech thanks bro! Will be here supporting your vids and channel. 👍🏻
I’ve been team Galaxy for 3yrs and decided I wanted to give the 13 PM a try. It’s going back today. Tapping the iPhone screen sounds hollow while the Galaxy sounds solid. Google apps run well on the iPhone but run better on Galaxy. Notifications, while improved on iPhone, are still way behind Galaxy. The iPhone camera is great but those zoom cameras have been so handy. Although the 108mp zoom isn’t of a practical nature very often, the moon shots are terrific and always stun my iPhone friends. I could keep going. I’m glad to have the chance to try Apple’s latest but my S21U is going to be welcomed back heartily.
Same with me, I been using the 13pm and android is faster, thee is so many things that android does better, specially usbc that’s a must for fast transfer. I bring it back
Are you using the exynos version or sd
@@jonpeach5851 SD
Notifications are horrible on ios... I used an iphone 11 pro for sometime... and man the notifications on that phone sucked 🤣 Most of the time I missed my notifications!
Team Galaxy. I have a Galaxy S-10 Lite smartphone and I am thinking of upgrading to the Dark Side. I'm leaning towards the iPhone 13 Pro Max phone from Apple and I am still doing research on the matter. Nice review!!
I have got a iPhone 13 but I thinking about switch to the Samsung s21 ultra because I like the way you can customise it 🤷🏻♂️
Very good review! Thanks.
Boy! Are you dead on with this analysis. I have both phones. I'm switching to the iPhone for my main device because it works well with my MacBook Pro and Ipad in my business. Also because I prefer the flat screen. But I slightly prefer the S21U camera and definitely prefer the ergonomics and the software experience on the Samsung. However in my experience the iPhone has significantly better battery life and their are those refinements that make up for the losses. Also love how bright the screen gets. At the same time the Samsung takes it on the low side. On the speakers I slightly prefer Samsung. All in all as you say it comes down to personal preference.
With my s21u i get 5-6 hours SOT flagship usage or 7-8 crappy SOT 720/60hz energy saving mode.
I’ve watched several videos comparing the batteries and the iPhone 13 pro max easily outlast the Samsung S21ultra and other phones as well
I never said it didn’t. I simply said when running videos consistently side by side the S21 Ultra will win. Otherwise, the iPhone wins due to its stand by time.
@@OT4Tech these videos showed constant use of both phones the Samsung died at something like 8 hours or so and the iPhone died at 10 or so both with constant use, in one video the iPhone outlasted the phone being used to time the test
I can’t go by other peoples results only my own but I will gladly check out the videos you’re mentioning.
@@akrite30 yeh I have seen all the battery test videos and the 13 pro max is the winner in battery life by a long way.
iPhone got stale for me. Switched to a Galaxy Z Flip 3 last week. Only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the battery life and camera. Picture in picture for the android driving app is really useful. Carplay looks nicer than android auto, but android auto is more useful (I do delivery).
Switching from 13 pm to the new s22 ultra once it’s out haha
As designated in the name; phone, they should have as their primary function excellent call connectivity, and audio quality. s21u, which I have, really falls short on sound, particularly within bass frequencies. The standard of iPhones battery life and video recording is preferable too. Yet, the lack of memory card support is problematic when both phone brands have very limited storage capacity at 512gb for high quality recordings. :/
Iphone has 1 TB
I'll definitely wait for S22U rather than 13pro in india
13pro already costs 1.2L inr so i can wait for S22U
I always had Galaxy, haven't had a iPhone before was thinking about trying iPhone 13 Pro Max what you think?
Worth a try, you won't know until you do
Some people cannot fully enjoy Samsungs whole eco system because of its problems. I love my Samsung S21 ultra along with the watch 3 and it's the only phone that has managed to sway me away from Apple but the Galaxy buds pro gave me a serious ear leaking infection (Google the issue it's valid!). Still I love the S21 ultra that much that I use Apples earpods pro with it. You are right the new iPhones are not comfortable to hold like the S21 ultra is.
Sup Mister Casey and everyone hopefully the weather is good your way
Team #Both. For everyday use it's the iPhone 13 Pro (non Max), because I like smaller phones and use it with the apple watch etc., but I still use the S21 Ultra as well with the Galaxy Watch 4. I like both worlds and systems. Whe I use the iOS , I begin to miss Android and the other way around 😂
Why choose when you can have both? I got a Note 20 Ultra, I like it better then S-pen-less21 Ultra. Then I upgraded my work phone which was a iPhone X and got 800$ trade in towards the iPhone 13 Pro Max. 2 phones 1 price can’t complain
I had my iPhone 12 pro max at the beach this summer and the screen under the sun was disappointing couldn't see a thing smh... pulled out that S21 ultra and it was a wrap. I did get that 13 pro max tho
I just ordered the 13 pro max !!! Can't wait !!!
Thanks for the video
I'm a Note 10+ user already finding that too bulky. The Note and S 21 are even bigger which is why I didn't upgrade.... so, no way I want these phones. But... Apple now makes the 13 Pro with all the bells and whistles of the Max and its a better size. Samsung's smaller S versions always compromise on the capabilities. So after Notes since the 2, I'm giving the Pro 13 a shot.
that s- pen is a beast
If rumors are true, the S22 Ultra will be the 1 that'll make me put this awesome 512g Note 10+ away..
I left Apple when the X came out.
All I want in my phone is a beautiful large display, speakers & battery..
I don't care for refresh rates, gaming, cameras, etc. It's a damn phone.
I spend more time watching movies & media than talking or using any other features on the phone. Most all phones have great cameras now days, which I rarely use..
Coming from Plus Size iPhones? This Note 10+ still feels tiny in my hands & I cannot even grip a basketball.. So my hands aren't large.. I just don't see people trying to make Cinematic Movies with their phones.. That's kinda Gimmicky, imo
I was team Android forever… My last 4 phones were galaxy’s… I went with IPhone 12 Pro Max 8 months ago, and honastly, I see why people stay with their products. Android always has more “Features” but after using the iPhone for a while and being In the ecosystem I found out that I really didn’t care about those features anymore, because apple does all the important shit better. The reason why he’s rokin an Apple Watch in the vid is because it’s better than anything Android offers. I have a Galaxy watch and I can’t run Google apps on it, read that again…🤣 too much fragmentation, and my Galaxy was turning into a billboard with adds on the dam weather app… Android 12 is out, but none of you will see it till next year if you’re lucky… Apps are all run better on iPhone, the build quality is better, All Google apps run perfect on iPhone, and I also have iMessage and FaceTime. I also like pay better than Samsung pay. The combination of the iPhone and MacBook is much better than a Galaxy running dex on a windows laptop, I have both. I’m on that team iPhone shit right about now… it took me a while tho…. 🤣
thought i was the only one who thought this
the 12 pro max is better then the s21
iPhone 13 Pro Max audio louder than Samsung's S21 Ultra Audio ,
Samsung Camera 👏👏👏👏👏
I rarely see a reviewer that mentions the dex mode.
Such an underrated feature. Said perfectly if you want an all in one phone samsung.... iphone caters more to you buying the iPad, Mac, etc to get the full experience
Great reviews you keeping it 100
Techwise samsung is always ahead of Iphone, though I would still prefer to ise the IPhone, it last longer and i found it cheaper to fix.
Palm Bay, Melbourne BREVARD COUNTY !!!!! Stand Up !!!!!! Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!!!!!!! 👑🇯🇲🔥💥⭐🌟🇧🇴💯💎
Always well put man 👏🏿
Great reviewer as always 👍🏼
You're right.... before having Iphone (now) I was android (for 7 years). I just don't know....but I don't think that ....for me now the iPhone has been starting to be boring somehow.....I think I'll go back to Samsung. ill keep my MacBook though ha ha and iPad. Probably ill go back to iPhone when Apple will really really do something for the iPhone I don't know....just to reinvent it or something I don't know
Great video! I have and prefer the iPhone 13 pro max!
i love both phones and i like both camera bumps. but i was thinking next year i may go with the fold 4 and iphone 14. i want the fold because i love the big display and i watch tons of video but unless they upgrade the cameras to equal the S21 or better, then ill have to buy both the iphone and fold because i also take tons of pictures, as far as games, i rarely play them. and ive heard from many people and You Tubers that the Iphone bionic chip throttles down after 30 minutes of gameplay.
I agree, Samsung needs to stop messing around and make the Fold cameras much better next time around.
Great content
Appreciate that 🙏
S21ultra vs i phone13pro max i think is just like putting a all rounder vs a, camera phone!
Have both phones (well the 13 pro) but love them both them my babies
I agree with you the 120hz on the iPhone is not impressive I’m disappointed it jus feels like another iPhone screen I even have to question when does the 120hz rate kicks in but I got to give it to the galaxy that screen feels like magic
Great video made my choice a lot easier thanks
Every cinematic vs portrait camera comparison that I saw so far, said the galaxy won. So I wanna see your in depth camera comparison
It’s very similar but I can do a full camera comparison
@@OT4Tech I'll look out for it
Great video as usual
I don't wanna keep lightning port for next 5 years.
Great video !!!!
Appreciate ya!
Bro you are talking about how much you like the S21 Ultra, yet you are wearing an Apple Watch. Lol. This should be on that ESPN segment called "C'mon Man".
I'm just giving you a hard time, but that had me shaking my head haha
That guy makes his life confusing…
Your right there no difference it just a little things you can do in the Galaxy and little things you could do in the iPhone so if I will pick one I already have the Galaxy but I might upgrade in two years to the 13 because I want to wonder how to used a iPhone it looks awesome both of them and I want to know how to used the FaceTime on the iPhone so none is better than the other I prefer the Galaxy for now
I'm wanting to get the s21 ultra really bad
are u Johnny sins? pls hire me I need money to buy iPhone hehe
If Apple would just get rid of that Damm notch I might consider the 13 pro Max, but right now I'm all in on the Galaxy S21 ultra! (Edit: I forgot to mention my buddy has the iPhone 13 pro and the screen STILL DIMS when it heats up when it's pressed even lightly. That's some bullsh**. It's not as bad as the 12 pro was but still how does a phone at these price points still.have that issue. S21 ultra has never done that)
He probably got a lemon, cause mine doesn’t do that at all.
Have both phones but it’s the ecosystem with Apple
Iphone 13 does a better job , but samsung is gonna launch the S22 ultra which would kick the 13 pro max
ANDROID MORE BECOME STRONGER AND MORE POWERFUL
Feel samsung fanboy to Isheep not looking back my apple products are the best 👌
I have the iPhone 13 pro not the max, and the Samsung s21 ultra and the battery on 13 pro kills the s21 ultra. Cameras to me are Is preference or what you like. The selfie camera on my 13 to me is better than my s21
I'm Sammy all the way but the iPhone does look better with tide color options
The samsung looses the most value over time when it comes time to sell or trade .
And then you try editing video and you see actual difference in processor speed ...
He have a pc/laptop why he need phone to editing
@@armwrestling9796 I have DSLR, why would i buy a top notch cameraphone ? Because its always with me ! There is a difference in processing speed and it is noticeable in many scenarios, especially camera and editing. Samsung is weaker and overheats faster. I have s21ultra and my wife 13pro, so I compare them side by side all the time. So far samsung only has "wow" effect , but really isn't perfect. It lacks optimisation and some functions are just useless. I don't think i buy samsung ever again.
I think iPhone users should not buy the next iPhone until the new iPhone comes out with USB Type-C... 💯
Getting my 13 pro max next month
Nice! What color did you go for?
Sierra blue🦾
Watching this my S21 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro Max but of course S21 Ultra clear winner
