These enhancements are similar to those found in Apple’s iPhone 14 Max, which was released in September. The upgraded 48-megapixel primary cameras and Apple’s A16 Bionic processor are both standards in the iPhone 14 Pro. In contrast to Samsung’s Galaxy S23 lineup, which all feature the new Snapdragon CPU, Apple’s most recent hardware revision only affected the Pro models.

When picking between a Samsung and an Apple phone, there are a number of extra premium features to consider.
