Every year brings an iPhone vs Galaxy flagship phone face-off, and while 2026 is no exception, things could be a little different this time around. With reports that Apple might shake up its phone release schedule with staggered launches, that could leave only the iPhone 18 Pro models to take on Samsung's Galaxy S26 offerings later this year.
That would seemingly give Samsung an advantage, at least when it comes to entry-level models. The standard Galaxy S26 figures to be less expensive than the iPhone 18 Pro, even with smartphone pricing up in the air these days. But Apple could have a much more compelling phone on its hands that makes the price gap less relevant.
