Whether you’re a diehard Apple fan or someone who dislikes its products, you have to agree that, under Tim Cook’s rule, the company has underwhelmed on innovation.
With a competitor like Samsung, that decision is now closer than ever. Here are three categories in which Samsung’s SSNLF, -3.07% latest flagship, the Galaxy S10+, outshines the Apple iPhone Xs Max.This one’s easy. As the iPhone is marketed as a luxury purchase, you pay more. In fact, prices have been on a steady rise. This trend started in 2016, with the introduction of iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.
The storage-to-price ratio really doesn’t work in Apple’s favor, and things get even worse once you realize that the S10+ has expandable storage ; this means you can use memory cards such as Samsung’s 512 GB EVO Select. The iPhone Xs offers two rear cameras , and one 7 MP front camera, capable of face recognition. iPhone shots made in portrait mode also have “depth control” enabled, which is a fancy name for adjustable depth of field. Although this feature seems to be better executed on the iPhone , it’s still far from innovation — it has existed on Android phones for years now, and the S10+ features it as an adjustable depth field “live focus” feature.
