iPhone 14 Pro Max Vs. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

One of the best iPhone models — the iPhone 14 Pro Max, manufactured by Apple, stands out in the market. From new cameras and a Dynamic Island display to an efficient chipset, this phone has everything that makes it a top-notch model.

Now, the question is whether the Galaxy S23 Ultra will be able to give a tough competition to the model or not. Samsung offers a promising start with its Galaxy S23 Ultra, which features an excellent processor, a 200MP main camera, and many other enhancements and tweaks.

iPhone 14 Pro Max vs. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 

Price And Launch:

September 07, 2022, is the launching date of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max, and it costs $1,099 / £1,199. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G costs $1,199 / £1,249, whereas its launch date is February 01, 2023.

Design:

This iPhone version has a new Dynamic Island housing the front camera rather than the familiar notch of iPhone.

Whereas the S23 Ultra is quite similar to the Galaxy S22 Ultra. It comes with individual rear cameras, a squared-off profile, curved sides and a punch-hole selfie camera. Besides, it has a default S Pen slot that allows you to draw. Moreover, ith the help of this S Pen, you can take handwritten notes on a pocket-sized device. This Galaxy version is available in four colours: Phantom Black, Cream, Green, and Lavender. But if you order directly from Samsung, you can get another four colours. If it comes to talk about iPhone 14 Pro Max, it comes in Space Black, Deep Purple, Silver and Gold color.

The Galaxy model comes in a steeper curvature radius of the side frame, using which you can hold the mobile with one hand and operate it easily. It also comes with an S Pen stylus silo for doodling.

Display comparison:

The iPhone model is equipped with a 6.7" screen, whereas the screen size of Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G is 6.8 inches. Whereas the Pro Max comes with an OLED Screen type. The iPhone model has a display density of 460 PPI, whereas the Samsung model has a display density of 501 PPI. Besides, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Whereas for this Samsung model, the aspect ratio is 20:9.

On the flip side, Apple has melted the dynamic refresh rate benefit that the Galaxies did by introducing 1Hz-120Hz range for the iPhone 14 Pro models. Therefore, we can say it is a draw in the display department.

Memory comparison:

The Samsung model has a 12 GB RAM which is advantageous for playing games whereas the iPhone model has 6 GB RAM. The S23 mobile has Internal Memory of 256 GB, whereas the iPhone model comes with 128 GB internal memory. Each device includes a Memory Card Slot.

Camera:

Camera hardware is another area where the galaxy model becomes unique, and there is no competition. The biggest upgrade of the Samsung model is a new custom 200MP ISOCELL HP2 main camera sensor with 0.6-micron pixels.

The iPhone version has a 48MP sensor, but it can't match the resolution that S23 Ultra can produce. Its pixel size goes to 1.12 microns in a low-light environment. Therefore, it is possible to capture 50MP photos with enhanced light sensitivity. The S23 Ultra can offer a 2.4-micron binned virtual pixel at night. Hence, it combines 16 pixels into one to snap a photo at 12.5MP. As a result, no matter how much light is there - you can capture sharp images.

iPhone 14 Pro Max vs. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Performance and Software:

As per benchmarks, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip appears to be on par with the Apple A15 processor of iPhone 14 though it is clocked lower. The Samsung version gets a custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 which we know as the Mobile Platform for Galaxy. It's clocked higher than the stock 3.2 GHz version.

As the iPhone's 5G modem is a generation behind Samsung's Ultra connectivity, these are the new Qualcomm X70 5G modem features:

• Snapdragon X70 includes features like Qualcomm 5G AI Suite, Qualcomm 5G Ultra-Low Latency Suite, Qualcomm 5G PowerSave Gen 3 and 4X sub-6 carrieraggregation. 

• It is the only 5G modem-RF system family that can support each commercial 5G band from 600 MHz to 41 GHz. Thus, it can make OEMs flexible so that they can design devices which support global operator requirements.

Battery life and charging speeds:

If it comes to talk about battery life, the iPhone 14 Pro Max does not have any comparison. However, the S23 model's battery life gets a 20% bump due to the use of a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor & LTPO OLED panel generation. The iPhone model managed to outrun the S22 in battery benchmark tests in a few cases. But Galaxy S23, the successor of S22, experiences a tough time surpassing the iPhone's endurance in these tests.

The charging speed of the Galaxy S23 Ultra makes it stand out in the market. You can charge a 5,000 mAh battery pack within about an hour using its 45W charger. But the iPhone 14 Pro Max needs almost two hours to topping up a smaller unit at 27W maximum.

Outlook:

Outlook is another key factor that we need to elaborate while discussing the topic: Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra vs iPhone 14 Pro Max. We all know that the iPhone models are excellent, whereas the Samsung model still needs to undergo some tests to prove its strengths. The iPhone model is expected to retain its quality regarding performance and battery efficiency. However, the Samsung model can beat the iPhone continuously on charging speed, display size and resolution.

The Bottom Line:

This year's flagship of Samsung can provide an improved ergonomic design with an integrated S Pen stylus. Besides, it comes with a few upgrades, like a new 4nm processor. In the future, Samsung may bring its A-game for countering this iPhone model's camera and its brightest phone display. In addition, the Galaxy model includes the largest camera sensor on an S-line phone. Besides, it has the latest 5G modem from Qualcomm, which is unavailable to the iPhone.

But people of some selected towns can only access the feature.

New ways to use Emergency SOS via satellite:

Apple introduced this feature at its 2022 event in September. With the help of the new beta software, you can use the service in new ways on iPhone. The Call with Hold and Release has replaced the Call with Hold option in iOS 16.3 beta 2. Enabling Call with Hold and Release allows the users to hold the side button and a volume button so that you can initiate a countdown and an alarm. Release the button after completion of the countdown. Then, the iPhone will call emergency services automatically.

 iPad 10 vs iPad Air 5 Differences:

Price & Availability:

The price of iPad 10th Generation starts at £449 in the United States for the WiFi version & £679 for the cellular version, and compared to the previous version, the price increase is significant. Therefore, people may think twice before purchasing the new generation model because the earlier generation is still available at $329 for the 64GB model and $479 for the 256GB Wi-Fi models.

The price of the WiFi version is £669, while £849 is the price of the cellular version of the model. You can see that the price is a little bit more than the iPad's tenth generation. As a result, several people buying for the first time may not prefer it unless they need the more powerful M1 chipset and the second-generation Apple Pencil.

Colors:

iPad (10th generation) is available in four colors. These models come with normal color names like 'blue' instead of 'Epic Ocean View Blue Extreme Ultra.'

iPad Air 5th generation is available in five colors.

Positioning:

When it comes to talk about the 10th generation iPad, the variety of color options, Magic Keyboard Folio, and coupling of iPad will impress you for sure

The webpage of iPad Air lets you see the speed, power, and many other capabilities of the mpdel. Hence, the special thanks will go to the M1 chip. iPad Air can offer you a tablet for £170 extra.

Display and biometrics:

Both models come with Touch ID, which is integrated into the power button on the device top portion. When it comes to determine the quality of the mod model, brightness, and speed are the factors which you need to consider first.

If it comes to talk about the iPad Air, you will get to see three more display upgrades, including- full lamination, anti-reflective coating, and P3 color. Full lamination helps to remove the noticeable gap between the display & glass. As a result, you will get to see a less recessed display.

Whereas, the anti-reflective coating is beneficial when you are working in bright rooms or outdoors. In addition, the P3 color is more vibrant and has better color reproduction.

Remember that the displays are 60Hz panels indicating that you will not be able to enjoy silky-smooth ProMotion.when you scroll web pages and flick between Home Screens. iPad Air is the clear winner in this case.

Chip:

A14 Bionic powers the tenth iPad generation, and it comes with six CPU cores and four GPU cores.

On the other hand, the M1 chip powers the iPad Air, including an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU. So, the winner is a tie.

Power and Battery:

Both models are identical and get charged via USB-C. So, the winner is a tie.

Accessories:

Both models support Apple's Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil accessories. However, there are a few major differences. The first one is that these keywords aren't magic, actually. Therefore, ensure that you don't expect any magical witzard from Harry Potter. Otherwise, it will disappoint you.

The second is that Magic Keyboard Folio supported the 10th generation iPad. All credits go to the Microsoft Surface like kickstand and the keyboard's function row's inclusion. But the company decided to leave the earlier Magic Keyboard.

As per the website of Apple, the iPad Air doesn't support the Magic Keyboard Folio. It supports the second-generation Apple Pencil attached to the iPad for charging and storage. You should know that the tenth generation supports the first-generation Apple Pencil.

But there are two problems. The first one is that the 1st generation Apple Pencil usually get charged through Lightning.

Regarding the 1st gen Apple Pencil, you need to remove a cap from one end to charge it. Then, you should connect this to the lightning port of the iPad. But you should know that there does not exist any lightning port on the tenth gen iPad. Therefore, you need to connect the adapter before attaching the Apple Pencil. It indicates that the horizontal Pencil is capable of entering the airspace of the table that is near you at the time of charging the accessory.

The second problem is that the 1st gen Apple Pencil is shit.

So, hence, a clear winner is the iPad Air.

Camera:

The cameras on the back are the same. While Apple says the FaceTime camera of the tenth generation iPad is a 'landscape Ultra Wide camera,' the iPad Air model comes with a '12MP Ultra Wide front camera'. Remember that these come with a Centre Stage support feature. So, the winner is a tie.

Software:

You can run both devices on iPadOS in general and iPadOS 16 in particular. However, there are some differences. For instance, iPad Air can run on the M1 processor. Therefore, it is capable of using the new Stage Manager multitasking tool. But the feature doesn't exist on the new iPad. It is expected that more M1 specifications will be launched in the Air in the upcoming days, because it has a newer processor. Compared to the new iPad, the Air will offer more software updates. So, iPad Air is the clear champion in this case despite the fact that iPadOS can run on iPad smoothly.

Apple Pencil Support:

These devices support different generations of Apple Pencils. It means that the iPad's tenth generation is compatible with the 1st gen Apple Pencil whereas the iPad Air is compatible with the 2nd gen of Apple stylus. Hence, you should know that you can use the Pencil of 2nd gen more easily. Besides, it is easily chargeable. The reason is that it enables the user to charge it wirelessly off the Air's side. If you want to use your Apple Pencil with iPad (10th generation), you should invest in Type C for the Lightning dongle. The reason is that the stylus must be connected to a Lightning port for charging. So, iPad Air 5 is the champion in this case.

iPad 10 vs iPad Air 5 Differences:

We have given here the iPad 10 vs iPad Air 5 differences in short.

iPad 10	iPad Air 5

• You need to move the device in such a way so that the dot appears on the measurement's beginning point. Next, you need to hit the Add button. 
• Now, your job is to move the device slowly until you see the dot appearing on the measurement's last point. Hit the Add button again.
• As soon as you complete the task of taking measurements, it is possible to adjust the starting and ending points.
• In this case, your task is to touch one point first and then hold & drag it to the place you want. Remember that the measurement will be changed when you move the point.

How can you save measurements?

Once you see the measurement, your job is to tap that number to check this in inches and centimetres. Then, you should click on Copy. After that, the value will be sent to the clipboard so that the user can paste it into another app. Now, you should click on the option named Clear.

If necessary, take a photo that will show the object and the measurement of it. Hence, your task only is to hit the Shutter button. After that, you can see the image in the screen's lower-left corner. Now, you have to click on it so that you can perform the edits with Markup. Otherwise, you can swipe it left so that it is possible to save this to the Photos app.

How to take multiple measurements:

Once completing the first measurement, you should move the device so that the dot comes near the object or in another place. Next, to begin the measurement for the second time, you have to hit the Add button. Now, your task is to move the device so that the dot can be placed along the existing measurement.

Then, you need to hit the Add button again, and thereafter, you can get to see the second measurement. You can perform the steps again to take multiple measurements. However, you can remove the current measurement by hitting the Undo button. If you want, then you need to click on the Clear option to begin the process again.

Measure a rectangle:

Suppose the device detects that the measuring object is square or rectangular. Then, you will get to see a measurement box around the object. Thereafter, you should hit the Add button. Then, you can see the measurement of the object (its length and width). After moving the device a little bit, you can see the object's calculated area.

When you see the measurement, click on the calculated area number. Thus, you can see the diagonal length and the area ( displayed in square metres or square inches)
