You probably don’t even use an iPhone. I’ve never seen an iPhone user complain about the notch, it’s only salty android fanboys trying to discredit the iPhone

[@smartphonefan5226]

@@ibouzz7839 Nice try Apple fanboy. I use both phones everyday and I can tell you that a punch hole is less distracting than a notch. I get why the notch is there, but Apple should be able to at least shrink it.

[@oxblaide6296]

@@smartphonefan5226 I know. I use an iPhone 11 pro max and the notch doesn't affect. I even like the notch, it gives the iPhone a unique look

Lets be honest if you actually know tech samsung has always been better. Iphone hasn't changed since the 6 and saps keep buying it

[@jayjohn223]

Idk if I agree, the S21 is definitely better than the pro max right now but ur statement is a lil exagerated imo

The S21 ULTRA looks really cooler than the 12 pro max

Although I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max; I’ve been eyeing Samsung‘s progress and would consider a note 21 ultra- that I suspect they will make. Great review!- although what do you make of Dolby Vision in comparisons to HDR 10+ with the benefits of display tech against Apples?

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

I have an 11 pro max and thinking of getting a 21 ultra. Maybe the 12 pro max I’m not sure yet

[@ZeybekTHR]

Switched from galaxy to ios. Not going back.

[@asianstud7]

Lol .You'll be back. I get it. Its still new and you're still at the honey moon stage.

[@asianstud7]

@Daniel Pacheco just got one. Now I did miss somethings about ios not gonna lie. But samsung will always offer more flexibility. Now I got both.

[@branja3108]

That difference on the front-facing camera is EVIDENT ... S21 ultra is so detailed.

[@martingrant9005]

Great vid as always nick watching from the uk 🇬🇧 👍 went with the 12 pro max but I am liking the s21 ultra , I do wish the iPhone had usb c like my iPad 11 pro be much easier to charge it with one cable .

[@imadalnjjar251]

Galaxy S21 Ultra 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Ryan.Mon24]

Great video man. I have the 12 pro on my main line and picked up the s21 ultra on my second line. This Samsung is on another level. I want to love IPhone more, but I don't.

[@rogeramadon4064]

EXCELLENT video and comparison - BEST I have seen! I am on the fence about trading in my current Samsung S10+ (2 years old) for another Samsung product (S21 Ultra) or going with an Apple product (iPhone 12 Pro Max). I have an iPad, so compatibility with the iPhone would be a plus, but I really do like the features of the S21 Ultra. Decisions, Decisions, Decision!! Thanks for sharing!

[@FreeThePorgs]

My max was not 1 million but how about 1,600.00 USD???? Felt like 1 million dollers….have never carried that much cash on me ever before.

[@TazzKId]

Nick I would think after all this time you would get your information checked before making permanent statements. Just say you personally like the S21 better.

[@theredandblueyakuza]

The s21 ultra actually has more natural looking pictures, the camera comparison was a generalization based on previous Samsung and iPhone cameras ,go and watch various blind tests between the two ,the Samsung is currently the more natural camera phone ,at least with pictures

[@farizaizat95nasir41]

Watching this with my 12 pro max pacific blue and i love it 🥰

[@Jt19702]

I rock both as my daily tech gadgets.

[@grizzlycali4508]

I got the s21 ultra and love it! Better display, faster refresh rate and better camera options! Also you can cast not just to TV but a PC! Also turns into a PC itself. Can also use as a note with stylis pen. Only had it for a few days now but each day I'm more and more impressed. I watched a game video comparison of the two phones for playing. The iPhone got hot and dimmed the screen but the s21 ultra didn't and stayed true. I downloaded ginshin impact like in the video I watched and I'm in aw of the graphics! So glad I didn't go apple.

[@MuhammadAttia]

replaced 12 pro to s21 ultra sd888 this phone is perfect

[@pooyafitness]

I sold my iphone because of the notch. I never got used to it. At least they should have treated it like a bezel when we go full screen on a video instead of it eating into content.

[@CharlieGrahn]

Come on man..it does not feel like 90hz on the iPhone..i own both and it's a night and day difference between them 😀

[@nickackermanchannel]

Feels close, the 120 hz is a bigger difference

[@azuris221]

I’ve got one plus 8 pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max and am surprised by iPhone smoothness. Definitely doesn’t feel like 60hz

[@jeffshaw4039]

I wonder why they don't have a memory card slot that makes it hard to give up my present phone.
