Apple started last week proto present their news at the September Keynote. U Apple Watch He doesn't have much to envy, proYou can count the new features in his watch in 2025 on the fingers of one hand. But it's different with iPhones. iPhone 17 and Air they catch up what they can and iPhone 17 Pro Max tries to impress at all costs.
From the opening paragraph, it might seem like I'm condemning the news, but it's actually quite the opposite. Competition is necessary and someone proOne innovates and the other catches up and copies, so it prohundred is. News Applu definitely has something to impress, but I'm looking in vain for something in them that they should have and Samsung doesn't. That is, except for one thing and one "little thing".
We've already written a lot about it here, but it's worth mentioning again. Taking pictures with a selfie camera is really fun. It really works the way it should. Apple presented the Center Stage function automatically, intuitively and really well. This is something we definitely want in Samsung phones, even if we will write that the South Korean manufacturer is just copying here. Apple In addition, it has installed its 18MP camera in all three models, so they have nothing to envy in this regard.
All models also have an anti-glare display. Samsung came up with it, but it makes no sense to only give it to the models Ultra. So hopefully it will be with a series Galaxy S26 Subjectively, they do indeed succeed in reducing glare, but not to the same extent as Galaxy S24 Ultra a S25 Ultra.

iPhone 17
It's the old familiar iPhone, which has bloated a bit in size, proIt's just that its display has been enlarged. But Samsung already has that in the standard model of the series Galaxy S did too. There's also an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz with the option of an Always-On display. Here too Apple he catches up with what he can. Pro nothing new to us, and that's been going on for years.

With regard to the cameras, there are only 48MPx ultrawide-angle, which has also learned macro, but there is still a telephoto lens missing. You can take photos with a hybrid 2x zoom, but 3x optics are prohundred 3x optics. Perhaps more importantly, the base storage starts at 256 GB (and that across the range) without any price increase in many markets, and the company deserves praise for that.
While the iPhone 17 is still not greasy and salty, it has thrown away all its shortcomings and is actually a very nice phone with a not too high price. After all, it also copies Samsung's strategy with regard to different chips across one line of devices. But even so, the A19 is powerful enough to handle even the heaviest workload.
iPhone Air
It's missing a numeral, as if Apple He wanted to be remembered as the first Air and it wasn't mentioned that it was introduced with the 17 series, but in the end it's not a revolutionary device. So in terms of design it's a really eye-catching phone, but that tenth of a mm difference in thickness isproti Galaxy S25 Edge You won't recognize it at all. But you will recognize the smaller display and only one camera, which clearly limits your creativity, even though there is a hybrid 2x zoom again.

There is perhaps unnecessary hype around it, but that Apple he can build very well. Just like Galaxy S25 Edge It has a titanium frame, a glass back, and its only real advantage is MagSafe and the lifestyle accessories that come with it. Apple introduced. It's a really beautiful phone, but I don't know, proI should sit on my ass and worship it like an idol. It has no added function and rather brings more comprobowls.
And the backpack on my back in the form of a camera module is not very attractive. So my winner in the thin phone race is clear. The only thing that could change this is the battery life, which I haven't had the opportunity to test properly yet.
iPhone 17 Pro Max
So this is a massacre – for better or for worse. I'm laughing before Applem that he dared to go for the orange one, the unibody aluminum is also something really interesting, it's just a shame that the orange one is terrible and the construction makes the phone robust and heavy. The elegance of the iPhone 15 Pro Max it's gone and instead you have a literal brick.

You will be rewarded with a complete set Pro functions, but who bought the models Pro mainly because of the telephoto lens, it has a relatively fundamental problemish.

Plus, instead of 5x zoom, there's 4x and a hybrid 8x, which seems like a step backwards. Literally. Galaxy S25 Ultra still offers an ideal 5x zoom with a hybrid 10x, which seems like a better choice. The storage expansion to up to 2TB is interesting, but logically pro how much data proprofessional record "eats". In my case, it is simply the most controversial model of the series, which will have to try very hard to stand out from the crowd. Galaxy S25 Ultra somehow defended.
Anyway, the new iPhone 17 series is very different from what we've been used to in recent years, and proIt's also very interesting. Each model has something and something else it lacks, so it will be interesting to properly test them from the perspective of an experienced Android user.
