Stay tuned until the end to find out more.

Albeit having a well-defined naming scheme, it still is no way near to Apples.

Moreover, many series of smartphones arent available in all regions.

iPhone lineup

Indirectly, it provides more choices for the end consumer.

That said, well be comparing the parallel models.

The A15 Bionic is built on a 5 nm platform, and houses 6 cores.

Samsung lineup

The numbers might tilt you away from Apples territory, but wait until you see the actual test results.

Well be referring to their data and findings in this section.

Lets start with the benchmarking apps first.

Benchmark results

The Geekbench result of the three chipsets goes to show how much capable A15 Bionic really is.

AnTuTu benchmark isnt tuned the same as for android, which explains the low scores of Bionic A15.

3D Mark Wildlife Extreme benchmark, which tests the GPU and efficiency, also shows similar trends.

Photo editing and video rendering

Snapdragon, too, finishes it quite faster than A15 Bionic.

Another point is that most games run better on iPhone, mainly because of optimization.

Samsung phones, in general, heat up and eventually throttle while gaming.

Display

For example, app opening times are neck to neck in most cases.

Almost every background task seizes the second you exit the app.

These tests depend heavily on the testing conditions, and typically vary accordingly.

Camera setup

Thus, these scores shouldnt be considered as the concluding factor.

Usually, Samsungs displays are hands down the better of the two, and sometimes even by a landslide.

This difference, however, is barely noticeable in real life.

Photographic Styles

you might even click elegant looking pictures of the moon at night.

However, the switching of the lenses is a lot smoother on the iPhone than the Galaxy.

The shots, too, are just as good and suffer the same issues as the main sensor.

Galaxy S22 Ultras ultra-wide camera isnt exactly better, but it does process photos and maintains the sharpness well.

Both phones can use their ultra-wide sensors to capture macro shots.

Nighttime shots are arguably better on the Samsung, thanks to the fantastic color processing and large sensor size.

iPhone 13 Pro Max battery

Low-light ultra-wide and telephoto shots are a shade brighter and sharper on the Galaxy.

Speaking of Galaxy, you’re free to do astrophotography on both phones.

Talking of portrait shots, Samsungs advertised AI Depth Mapping feature does manage to cut out subjects brilliantly.

Low light focusing is also better on the iPhone, mainly because of the LiDAR sensor.

iPhones are the crowned kings of videography, and its no different here.

The heavenly combination of stabilization, exposure management and HDR performance grant the iPhone to shoot industry-leading footage.

iOS

The iPhone also excels in low-light videography, however, the S22 Ultra edges out on zooming capabilities.

Audio reception is more natural on the iPhone, and is better than the S22 Ultra overall.

However, iPhones way of brightening up your face results in sublime looking selfies.

OneUI

For the same set of reasons, selfie-videography is better on the iPhone.

iPhones largely secure a one-sided victory in this regard, almost in every price range.

All of that is achieved whilst heating lesser than Samsung, although neither of them heat alarmingly.

Apple Ecosystem

But, iPhones still last longer than their Samsung counterparts in the long run, despite adaptive battery.

Looks are subjective at the end of the day, so its up to you.

iOS acts as an iPhones hallmark, and many people really do buy an iPhone just for that.

Samsung Ecosystem

Nonetheless, iOS, too, is effortless to understand and use.

Customizability and the open nature is quite possibly the biggest reason people love Android over iOS.

Obviously, it will not be as flawless, but it surely gets the job done.

Samsung Care + and Apple Care

Its easier to make your Galaxy yours.

Androids way of notification and file management is just streets ahead of iOS.

The recently announced lock screen personalization in iOS 16 is a treat for the eyes.

OneUI needs a lot of polishing in that regard.

Ultrasonic fingerprint scanners present on Samsung phones are much more versatile.

Siri occasionally fails to perform tasks that are to be done in third-party apps, but thats forgivable.

iOS has an ace up its sleeve in the form of certain exclusive apps.

Samsung, too, has certain exclusive apps like QuickShare, Samsung Flow, and so on.

Not to mention, many apps are cheaper on Play Store.

Samsung, on the other hand, sells a plethora of household appliances alongside.

While we wont be comparing the products individually, we will surely speak about how interconnected the products are.

The sayings arent wrong Apple products work together splendidly.

The setup is a breeze to perform, and no feature is half-baked.

That said, Apple isnt particularly friendly towards third-party ecosystem add-ons.

The best part is that you dont necessarily need a Galaxy Book for enjoying most of the Windows-related features.

Overall, either of the companies have a laudable ecosystem, but Apples is a touch more refined.

No doubt, iPhones replacement parts cost a nightmare, and its no fun paying such high amounts.

The screen, too, is nearly 50% expensive.

Credits where its due Apples repair process is very refined and streamlined.

People have also reported of getting their devices replaced for free, even for the tiniest of issues.

Samsungs repair procedure is superb too, but Apples is a class above.

Availability of parts is region-specific, but, Samsung has the upper hand in India as of now.

Regrettably, most or almost all of the above benefits arent available outside the US.

However, in India and many other regions, the iPhone is considerably costlier than Samsung.

This gets reflected in the sales figures too.

And, not everyone sells their old equipment, so thats that.

Accessories for an iPhone, though expensive, are conveniently available.

The same isnt the case with Samsung.

iPhone or Samsung: What To Choose?

The long battle ends here.

The customizations, minute configs, and the open nature of Android is definitely a boon.

But, it does result in some amount of inconsistency and imperfection.

Inversely, if youre already locked in the Apple ecosystem, or want an iPhone doubtlessly get an iPhone.

Youll get to enjoy perfection, an impeccable ecosystem of devices, and perfectly thought out features.

That, however, is perfect for reliability and long-term stability.

The end decision is solely yours.
