Samsung vs. Apple is one of the defining debates of the smartphone era, and the Samsung Galaxy S24 vs. iPhone 16 face-off is just the latest proxy battle between the two phone makers. An iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. Galaxy S24 Ultra showdown may compare the companies' premium models, but the S24 and iPhone 16 are the most affordable entries in the current flagship lineups — as a result, these are the phones most people are going to consider buying.
The Galaxy S24 kicked off the phone wars when it launched back in January, raising the bar with a set of Galaxy AI features that make up the most compelling parts of the phone. Apple added its own smarts just recently with the Apple Intelligence features arriving as part of the iOS 18.1 update. But there are some noteworthy hardware changes to both phones to consider as well.
