The iPhone 15 Pro Max is the newest flagship from Apple. How does it stack up against Samsung's latest flagship, the S24 Ultra? Can it compete or is it Samsung's newest flagship the better phone? In this video we'll talk about both phone's performance, the display quality, the in-hand feel and design, as well as its cameras to ultimately see which I prefer to use on a daily basis. Do you agree with the results? What would you choose between these two phones?

2 years with an iPhone, have confirmed that iPhone is great ( Build quality, Speakers, Chip, Screen) but iOS is too restrictive and incomplete for me. I wouldn't choose 15 Pro Max only for videos. Since I DGAF about Ecosystem too, S24 Ultra is my choice without a doubt.
I mean people don't ever talk abt the samsung ecosystem
Luckily everyone has a choice and buys what they like based on OS preference or the hardware. iOS is great for more simplicity and app support, the hardware is superb and the ecosystem works better for most and the consistent updates from Apple to all supported devices at the same time are a plus.
Samsung has come a long way with hardware and updates but certain aspects of Android still hold it back because if the number of different Android devices needing to be supported or requiring other provisions and this is why Apple gets so much hate.
Apples ecosystem not integrating with Android devices and the lack of a real multitask function or customization or device freedom is where Apple gets hate. Apple wants to ensure a seamless integration experience and has always been this way but is slowly evolving to a more open platform 🤞
Do you even Know how complex the Samsung Ecosystem is? Nearly everything in your home can connect together. Even a Microwave for example
@@gojo4808 A lot of people love and use and talk about Samsung Ecosystem and i could totally buy and use a Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Tab but i don't like tablets and i love mechanical watches. I have had iPad and Galaxy Tab in the past: it's not for me. I use my iPhone with a Windows 💻, a Nothing Phone(1), my Bose QC45.
My phones are the devices i always first: MAIN device.
Full brand ecosystem will always be a "nice to have" for me. I just compare phones and only phones together.
😑feeling superior because they have Apple ecosystem or because they don't consider Samsung ecosystem, you're a shame. Some people just live in their own bubble: ridiculous🤨
Came to the 15 Pro Max from the 11, and before that, the Note 4. Now looking for the first opportunity to get back to Samsung. I've grown blind to how much I miss android after being with IOS for so long. Here's my personal list of reasons for the switch: I hate waiting on apple's animation, even with motion dialed down. I also hate waiting for apps to finish doing something instead of them being able to run in the background. I also prefer android keyboards, customization, T9 dialer, speed dial, cursor movement, no swiping after screen unlock, home screen setup, file management, text copying, back button, home screen layout, ultra fast charging, in-app settings, in-app notification settings, notifications, widgets, google assistant, ultra low power mode, scheduled text messages, dex, and higher screen brightness for bright sunny days. The only thing I could see myself missing about my iphone is native encrypted messaging, but the use case for me is limited. Can't wait to switch back to android.
When iPhones has flaws like overheating people is hush hush to prevent bad marketing. Yet, the reverse, people will lose their minds. That should tell you about the company and people that uses them.
FACTS
For real
Its a phone💀 not that deep
@@heyhey067 you're an idiot, not a sheep. Yes, we know, it's not that deep. It's also not that complicated to understand
S24 ultra as I'm using it
Nice review. Whats the name of your s24u icon pack Mark?
Love both phones. They are both great. Have both and it’s hard to decide which one to use.
You definitely have 2 partners 😃
Great video, it's all about personal requirements. I have been an iPhone user since the X. This year I picked up the s24 as a fun phone. Instantly fell in love with where android is today and I was having fun again. Every year iPhone to iPhone felt the same, upgrading didn't have any excitement anymore. My 14 pro max felt the same as my 15 pro max. I ended up selling my 15 pro max and haven't looked back. Googles ecosystem has come a long way!
Did the same with my 15 PM. Loving the S24 U, only thing I really miss is iMessage.
Intro on point !
Thanks for not being biased!! All the factors stated are well explained and targeted correctly. Well done brother ❤❤❤ Love from India
Thanks a ton!!
Another great video bro. Always enjoy your content 🔥
Appreciate it bro! Always great seeing your comment 🙏🏼
Where is your s24 ultra wallpaper from ?
This video points out kinda deciding factors. It's up to a user what you prefer these days. However, I think iphone being unable to do tasks and be as compact device of all the features and such for their prices is a crime ar this stage. I'm on iphone 15 pro max and I always complain about the iOs which compared to android is prehistoric. However. As said here, it's still a great phone for different type of users, so everyone can find their own field whether choosing iphone or Samsung.
The CINEIMATICS ARE NEVER LEVEL. YOU ARE SUCH A GROWN MAN
😂🤣 grow up Kevin!!! Thank you for commenting on my videos!
Never level. Grown man (for making a nice video)
None of this makes sense.
Mark, are you going to check on the Huawei Pura 70Ultra? I'm eager to see your take on this phone especially the camera. Great content as always.
I'm trying to get my hands on one, but it's finding impossible to get it here in the US. Maybe when I get a chance to go to Europe/Asia, I'll have better luck!
@@HeyMarkL I, really hope you get your hands on one, though. I read online from China, it went outta stock in one minute, that's insane. I'm patiently waiting for it, you'd eventually get one of those phones.
Be Safe and
Stay Healthy, Mark..🙏🏾
Love this review! Question about the luts you use with the Iphone...is there a site to purchase them?
Link is in the bio 🤙🏼
@HeyMarkL thanks and those grades are amazing. Perfect moods.
Salamat po sa comparison review Sir.
I shoot video on iPhones and edit them in Lumafusion. They are sending me a Galaxy S24 on a 7 day trial so I can see if the video features/output work better for my purposes. But here you seem to be saying that despite the 200 megapixel camera on Samsung, you prefer the iPhone for video content creators. Do you have a video where you cover your video editing process?
Bro where do you get your iOS wallpapers? And your videos are clean 🔥
Genuinely good review
I've never owned an iPhone before always been an android user. But, I'm going to try the iPhone out in September and see if I like it. I figure I should get the best that iPhone has to offer and I think that is the IPHONE 16 Pro Max
Has anyone had issues on android when sending a texted the message you sent it still stays in the text message box so you gotta delete yourself?
I normally have both the Ultra and Pro Max phones together but this year I couldn't. For work I'd use the iPhone and for the weekends the Samsung. My Company has now pushed into an Apple ecosystem where we have everything Apple now. Even my dog has an AirTag. Sticking with the iPhone 15 Pro Max for a while, it's such a solid device. Plus I have an external hard drive (for Log video), MagSafe accessories at my house, in my car and at work.
How do you have both at the same time? Two separate numbers?
@@StewHeisenberg I was about to ask the same thing lol because I plan on getting both of those Phones soon
got my s24 ultra yesterday love it its a superb phone !!
Just a point for those who use tempered glass protectors: they will eliminate the anti-glare advantage and make the glass reflectivity similar to that of the other brands. This is a bad miss by Samsung, as many of us slap on a protector, and £1350 phones that are with us 24/7 need a case and protection unless you are rich.
Corning, which owns the anti-glare patent, is unlikely to allow this on tempered glass protectors, at least for the medium term, so that is a negative. Corning allowed Samsung to sell (very expensive) non-tempered screen protectors that help with scratches but are not as helpful for drops. Samsung bought an exclusive period for this feature and that is now over, so we are likely to see many OEMs use this next year.
How is 3rd party usage of tempered glass screen protector a miss on samsungs side
You are paying 1300$ for a phone you should be able to spring for the anti reflective screen protector no?
Samsung doesn't buy exclusive periods.
They own shares in corning. That's why it's a core of their display tech
@@wHyNoTCaTs-ef4yh@wHyNoTCaTs-ef4yh It's a miss as if you buy a tempered glass screen protector, you lose the anti-glare feature. Samsung should have thought about this. It means my S24U with a tempered glass protector does not have the anti-glare! Maybe Samsung wants us to go naked for more smashed screens? But it is a mistake. Hopefully, a solution will arrive.
@@andyH_England there's an anti glare screen protector.
U don't have to smash your device lol
To me samsung is doing something different and amazing
While other brands are becoming lazy an way too comfortable cough apple
@@wHyNoTCaTs-ef4yhThe anti-glare screen protector from samsung is straight ass, it's not even glass.
1:54 : where did you get that Background on 15 pro Max I must know?
that oneplus stock wallpaper
Any differences when scrolling through social media apps? I mainly use my phone for that and prefer when it's fast and smooth scrolling through. I currently have iPhone 14 pro max.
Yeah, the inertia from iOS (where it feels like it’s rubbery towards the top and end of an animation) feels better on iOS than Android. But besides that, smooth sailing on the S24 Ultra. Everything is super snappy and fluid.
That titanium orange 👌🏾
It's actually a dbrand skin 👀
@@HeyMarkL no kidding.
Damn! @@HeyMarkL
Sold my 15 pro max and bought a Oneplus 12. I like the OnePlus wayyyy more.
iPhone 15 pro max is clear still
I am getting hardly 4 hours SOT, only once I got 4.5 hours with power saving On being a medium user not a heavy user. Been using S 24 Ultra since 23rd January & updated to latest software
Use Light Profile in battery settings
@@drshardoolbandhu this setting is under Device Care, will try & see thanks
Hmm, weird. I'm always on Light Mode + FHD+. Very rare that I do QHD+. Could explain why yours is eating up battery a ton.
@@HeyMarkL umm what about if you put it on default profile?? My dad's s24 ultra drains 15 mins much faster than my iPhone 15 pro max. Any tips to get more battery life on Samsung??
🤣🤣🤣 sounds like my same experience with Samsung. I switched and got the 15 pro max, never had a better battery experience than this not once in the 14 years I spent with android. I had nearly every Samsung flagship and the battery was always trash, especially the S22 ultra (which is the phone that caused me to switch) I thought the S24 ultra was supposed to be better but I guess not. Glad I switched. Even on the “bad” days, I get 6-7hrs and on its best days, I can get almost 2 days out of this phone.
wallpapers list please ?
There is no difference between those two phones. The only reason to make a choise is you like ios or android. But when you buy iphone for ios, you should not al those android app download from the app store. So, no google, no gmail, no facebook, instagram etcetc
i would love to have S24 ultra but im going fr iphone 15 pro
reasons
1. its too big i like smol phones more ( i dont mind the battery life i dont use it much)
i wish we had a smol sized s24 ultra
2. regular S24 is an option but i have my doubts on exynos ( i live in Germany )
Plz make video on your s24u camera setting ....
People have s24u but they miss better settings for this results ,show on this video !!!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much.
Yes the CPU is a bit faster on the iPhone, but the GPU is faster on the Samsung.
As for fast charging when you are out and about, I have a MagSafe Battery pack that I keep on for about 4-5 hours extra SOT. So I am looking forward to Samsung having Qi 2.0, which will allow that on the Galaxy S line. So I disagree that slightly faster charging is a big deal especially for top-ups, the convenience of MagSafe trumps that easily.
We have magsafe too! It's not built in like an iPhone but there are magsafe cases for all devices now. So we, too, can utilize wireless power banks! Samsung is more convenient because you can reverse wireless charge too!
@@1993rufus It is not Magsafe which is a trademark. It is simply a magnet in the case. Does not have software support either and that is why I mentioned that Qi 2.0 would be welcome as that opens up true Magsafe capability.
@@andyH_EnglandWhy do magnets need software support? 😂😂 Look, Samsung can't integrate magsafe because of the Spen, the magnets would mess charging and the connectivity it offers. What I'm saying is that, you can't say that only Apple has magnet wireless charging because there are options for us Android users to achieve the same thing, all we need is a case, nothing fancy or expensive! Reverse wireless charging is better than magnetic charging because there is no case or attachment that can allow your iPhone to Reverse wireless charge any device. You know how many times it has saved me at the gym to wireless charge my buds. 10 minutes give me enough juice for 1.5 hours gym time!
@@1993rufus The software allows for the optimisation of wireless charging so if you are doing something intensive it will restrict the charging to prevent overheating. Also, it allows support for an extended battery rather than just charging. That is pass-through charging before it drains the internal battery. That is why Magsafe has been a value-added feature for people like me who just slap it on and the iPhone uses the pack before it even touches the internal battery.
@andyH_England his example was still better. Android just does more
I'm not a big fan of phones and I use the s23. But when it comes to Video quality especially when uploading to social media, I phone is still the king.
5:18 that shot of the iPhone is crazy! Apple really is top tier when it comes industrial and software design
I have both phones but I prefer my trusted iPhone and IOS. You can’t go wrong with Apple. However, I would like to add that I do love the Samsung S24 and I enjoy using it every day
Majority of you will say the S24 is a better phone yet majority of UA-camrs will use an iPhone 15 Pro Max as their main phone. 😂
Cause most of them use it for social media, people who make videos for their sogial media they need to getbthe iPhone
This guy gets it. If I wasn’t into content creation I’d probably use Xiaomi 14 Ultra as my daily or OnePlus Open.
Lol I am an esports gamer and I only use my iphone as it has a faster CPU. I am a travel vlogger. But i still went for oneplus 12 as it has faster charging, can almost do 80% tasks as my iphone can do. My viewers never saw my iphone because I barely use it. So yeah, another common excuse of hating iphone.
@@gojo4808 nonsense
@@HeyMarkL me? Or the comment 😂😭
Hi Mark, can you drop the icon pack name on the S24U? Thanks!
Nova Dark!
At this stage it doesn’t matter
Oh my God. Another camera comparison
haha what else do you want the video to be though??? We've seen plenty of "performance comparison" on UA-cam
I don't care who has the best camera or is the fastest phone in benchmarks. Every flagship smartphone takes super pictures and video's and is blazing fast. 97% of all smartphone users don't even see the differences.
I'm a SMARTPHONE user so I want the best screen (dpi/brightness/anti-glare), best battery, best/most usablility and productivity options, best gaming- and multi-media experience, best personalization options and best innovation.
I want DEX, KNOX, S-PEN, call recording, multi-tasking, multi-window, fingerprint scanner, best screen, widgets, themes, integration with windows, the biggest eco-system (Samsung SmartThings), fast charging, fast wireless charging and I want AI.
On all these aspects the S24 Ultra is destroying the iphone 15 PM big time. So why keep people buying these antiquated, restricted and very very limited iphones?
Is gaming smoothness and performance better on iphone than android?
Iphone is better
I always say that Apple and Samsung make the best cameras. Both phones are amazing. I'm waiting for the S25 Ultra 5G. I own the S21 Ultra 5G. A great video brother.
Try Honor magic 5 pro or 6 pro.
And the s24 ultra also comes with a green tint my screen is still not good with Grey background you will see green spots
The Averge user dont care about pro log on the iPhone cos it takes alot of space and not anyone know all the processes it take to edit log videos so to me samsung is the win I prioritizes photos than video I only use snapchat for video which samsung is very well optimized for 🎉
The s24U cameras sound great and look good on paper, but in the real world the cameras always disappoint. I’ll always grab my 15PM over my s24U for pictures that really count. And the iPhone captures much better pics when there is any kind of motion, unlike the Samsung which still, after all these years cannot seem to address this issue.
Ya I've noticed that issue since the Note 20 Ultra. And I've tried the S21 Ultra, S22 Ultra, and S23 Ultra. Every photo I've taken indoors (and other low-light situations) has been blurry. Some people love the Samsung cameras, but I can never get consistent results with them.
It just makes me a little sad because I'm not a fan of iOS, but also can't seem to get a good overall experience on any Android phone I've tried in the last few years. Almost everything about the Samsung is great, except the camera is unreliable. The Pixel camera is great, but the fingerprint scanner and the wireless modem are terrible. Guess I'll keep my iPhone for a little longer.
The S24 Ultra does not have 16 GB of RAM; it has 12 GB of RAM.
Everyone is entitled to a opinion .
Facts!
samsung s24 ulta clear winner
If your family and friends use Apple, I think your best option is to use Apple also. When it comes to cameras it doesn’t really matter. But I think Samsung is way more fun phone to use just because of the customization, and GalaxyAI is just great. But I think people should get the phone which your friends and family use.
Great video!
Fair point there. But the first one you mentioned “might change” when iOS18 and RCS becomes available. We’ll see!
@@HeyMarkL I was reading somewhere that they will improve Siri with AI, no idea if that’s true but if it is I’m not sure if that’s what I want though. Personally (if that is the case) I think that Samsung AI is a lot more handy. But we have to wait and see what iOS18 has to offer!
This is more relevant to the US because, for example, in Europe no one uses iMessage, using instead better alternatives like WhatsApp or Telegram.
@@MaximS-qg3co I use iMessage, I live in Sweden. iMessage is for family and Snapchat for friends.
Iam a person who only use watching movies and social media on phone which phone suits me any one plz??

S24 ultra video quality is extremely good than the way Tech. reviewers talked about it.
I believed those using the device right now will definitely agree with me.
I'm not saying it has bad quality though... it's just compared to an iPhone, I love the iPhone's more 'cinematic' feel to the videos more. But, I do appreciate the 3x, and 5x zoom more on S24 Ultra.
I love seeing things i can't afford😀🤠
Brother According To you ….
You are use both Smartphone S24 Ultra & Iphone 15 Pro max ….
Which 120hz Display Is more Fludiity… ?
Luv From India 🇮🇳
s24 ultra screen is "smoother" for example on iphone if you launch youtube and a video is 60fps it will cap the refresh rate to 60hz whereas samsung still uses 120hz this make the scrolling through comments smoother, you cant disable this on iphone and im guessing they did it to save battery life
@@agentofenhanced2428 Thanx brother
@@ustaadjisharma7591iPhone has smoother refresh, Samsung is snappier but that's cause the animation is shorter
@@haruyanto8085 ok brother thanx ❤️✌🏻
@@haruyanto8085 You're wrong, the iPhone changes the frequency dynamically, so most of the time you get 70-90Hz, and comparing it to 120 on android it makes a noticeable difference. It's not something everyone can see very well, but in a direct comparison, especially if you look closely, a lot of people can see it. For example, I just physically can not use iPhones after several years on Android, they just lag for me, moving text is simply unreadable.
I hope Samsung catches up with the iPhone's incredible speakers. The iPhone has consistently had better speakers than its Galaxy counterpart, and as someone who watches a lot of content on his phone, it is quite noticeable. Also, they definitely need to add a native LOG option and similar raw capabilities for video. That's something they could do with an update, at least for the S24 series, because some other Android flagships with the same SoC already do it.
You can shoot LOG with apps like ProShot, but some say it is not true LOG, and the S24 Ultra's hardware is definitely capable of shooting LOG and RAW simultaneously.
iPhone speakers are better but do not last longer. Mine stopped working in merely 2.5 years . iPhone 12 Pro Max user. Over heating issue. 5g is shit on this phone. Will switch to 24 ultra. Hope it keeps me happy unlike the s10 plus did
@KazuyaII you'll love the S24U! Samsung has done wonders with the S24 line!
@@1993rufus I hope it does, I am still on making a choice between the 15 pro max and S24U. Honestly I switched from a Samsung s10 plus to an IPhone 12 Pro Max just because I used to to play hardcore PUBG mobile and IPhone used to be optimised for it. Nowadays this phone is just crap it will heat and stop working on a normal summer day if you’re not in ac temperatures. Another thing my main speaker has stopped working, no water damage nothing. Last but not the least the battery health is at 79 and literally very less backup and performance.
My reason now for switching to an S24U would be that I know longer play any hardcore games on my Mobile phone except Pokemon unite since I bought a console and hardly get time to play games. I like the feel of the S24U and the size it has to offer in terms of watching content on it. Spen, no idea how useful it is however still an extra feature that I am happy to have on my phone. Camera zoom and macro lenses. Battery performance.
Reason for choosing IPhone:
Good video camera.
International warranty.
Better resale value.
The look is almost similar to the 12 pro max nothing new there.
Dynamic Island is not my thing since I had a in display punch hole design in my S10 plus.
No reverse wireless charging on IPhones.
I prefer Google Android open ecosystem 💯👌👍
Nobody ever mentions how bad iPhones are with direct sunlight work it is terrible was just in Cabo with the family and couldn’t use my phone 📱 at all because it was too hot. Either the phone had a temp guard saying you could not use it or the screen wasn’t bright enough @apple. Why do you guys do this so FRUSTRATING
I’m currently in Cancun and having no issues with my 15PM all day in the scorching hot sun.
took a trip out of state to somewhere hot and I had no issues on the 15 pro max
S24 ultra completely destroys any other phone in terms of day to day usability, features, customization. One UI is almost intimidating how many options and quality of life perks it has you would not belive and there's also samsung store with apps like good lock or good guardians which is just bonkers
Still don’t understand the war between both camps.. A phone is still and will always be a personal preference. I had the S23 and just updated to the 15 Pro Max. Not because I prefer iPhone over Samsung. It’s just because iPhone is closer to my needs than Samsung (Interface-wise).
Both the 24 Ultra and the 15 Pro Max are beasts, it’s just all about the OS you prefer or in wich ecosystem you’re in..
it doesn't have 16gb ram
S24 ultra I'm use already next level phone
S 24 ultra love my phone 😊😊😊
The S24 ultra is still the best of all
That's my next phone
S24 ultra has 16gb ram, are you kidding 😅 1:13
S24 Ultra is my choice coz samsung is leaving apple behind in every department with time and soon it will also be the king of videos🙌🏼👑
What kills the s24 ultra for me are the shutter speed issues.
Moving objects are still a major issue on samsungs for whatever reason since years.
Also a LOT of noise in the pictures.
Everything else is great but the camera is mid overall.
Oh hard agree on moving subjects. My only fix for it is to use pro mode which does fix it a bit but not all the time. Samsung needs a major revamp in cameras/sensors imo.
Finally Iphone lost His thrones To Samsung .. Welcome to the new king Samsung

Sorry bud but the graphics processing on the Samsung is actually faster and out benchmarks the Apple. The CPU performance means nothing
Sorry bud, but despite it clocking higher and benchmarks than Apple's GPU, it doesn't support higher graphic options on certain games like Warzone Mobile. CPU Performance doesn't matter in some instances, but at the same time it does.
@@HeyMarkL I guess that's why in a speed test and normal life usage the Samsung's quicker opening normal apps right. Plus you're wrong about the GPU performance. I've carried two phones for business and personal use for the last couple years I've had an Apple and a Samsung the Samsung always outperforms the Apple. Gaming is much better on the Samsung
