Alright, at this point it's barely a secret that we are waiting for another set of iPhones to launch at the end of summer, right? Apple typically launches its new phone models in September and there's no reason to believe 2025 will be different. There's also no reason to believe there won't be an iPhone 17 Pro Max yet again. On the contrary — we've even seen a few leaks about the top-tier iPhone.

The question now is — how is it going to compare to the top tier Samsung phone? Regular Samsung phone, of course, we are not going to be touching on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 here. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra launched in early 2025 and has had plenty of time to gather momentum. How do we think it will compare to the newly launched iPhone 17 Pro Max when that comes out? Let's see what we know:

Numerous leaks have been reaffirming a design change in the iPhone family. Instead of the single off-center camera square we had before, there's going to be a horizontal bar on the back now. Considering how often this leaks, it is likely true (or has been at some point), but we have no idea what the motivation behind such a big change might be. Is it aesthetics or does Apple need more room for some special hardware? Oh, it's space for the AI brain, that's why we couldn't get the Siri update in March!
