"After years of playing it safe, the company is experimenting with the design of its phones. The iPhone 17 Pro Max sports its most noticeable (and maybe controversial) design changes in years. By contrast, its closest competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, retains its signature look. The two flagship phones feature versatile camera setups, plenty of power, and are filled to the brim with features. Each of them will suit a specific type of user."
"1. You record a lot of videos iPhones have been the go-to smartphone for video recording for a long time, and Apple is taking it a step further with the iPhone 17 Pro series. The new Pro models support ProRes RAW video recording capabilities, allowing filmmakers to have greater creative freedom over their recordings. You can record 4K Dolby Vision videos at up to 120 fps via the main camera and up to 60 fps on the other two sensors. Apple also upgraded the front camera to 18MP with Center Stage support. It also supports "ultrastabilized videos" from the selfie shooter, which would be useful for creators around the world. If you are someone who wants a smartphone for shooting videos, an iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro Max is the phone to go for."
"2. You have MagSafe-compatible accessories If you are an iPhone user, you probably have MagSafe-compatible accessories, and these will only be compatible with the new iPhones. For the unaware, MagSafe is more than just wireless charging. I have a magnetic tripod that I love using with my iPhone 16 Pro, as well as a magnetic power bank, which off"
Apple introduced the iPhone 17 Pro Max with notable design changes, expanded video capabilities, and continued MagSafe support. The Pro models enable ProRes RAW capture and 4K Dolby Vision recording at up to 120 fps on the main camera and up to 60 fps on secondary sensors. The front camera is upgraded to 18MP with Center Stage and ultrastabilized selfie video. Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra retains its signature design while offering a versatile camera system, robust performance, and comprehensive flagship features. Each flagship targets different users: creators and video-focused users may prefer the iPhone 17 Pro Max; users who prefer Samsung’s established design may choose the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
