I&#8217;m about to make this decision much easier for you.<\/p>\n<p>The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra came out in March 2026, while Apple&#8217;s iPhone 18 Pro Max debuted in September. That six-month gap is enough to account for some major differences between these phones, but Samsung&#8217;s lackadaisical attitude with its flagship phones in the past few years has finally caught up, and that means I&#8217;m about to do something I&#8217;ve <em>never<\/em> before done in my life: recommend an iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>You might think I&#8217;m crazy for it, but Apple&#8217;s latest flagship checks more boxes than Samsung&#8217;s and, at the same price, it&#8217;s hard to argue with the facts.

While the company thankfully got rid of the square corners on the Galaxy S Ultra series, Apple&#8217;s curvier iPhone designs are far more comfortable to hold on a daily basis. But while those curves certainly feel better in the hand, the iPhone weighs a whopping 35g more and is nearly 1mm thicker than the Galaxy S26 Ultra.<\/p>\n<p>Some of this has to do with the MagSafe magnets built into iPhones, but some of it is also because the iPhone has a 10% larger battery than the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
