The iPhone 17 Pro Max offers a higher‑refresh LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display, an Apple A19 Pro processor, and a 48 MP periscope telephoto camera with LiDAR and ProRes RAW, but it costs $100 less for the 256 GB model and is lighter by 1 g; it also lacks a stylus and supports Wi‑Fi 7. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra features a larger 6.8‑inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a higher peak brightness, a 200 MP primary sensor plus 5× optical zoom, an S Pen, and Android 14 with up to seven OS updates, but it is priced $100 higher for the same 256 GB capacity and has a lower water‑resistance depth rating. Buyers who prioritise Apple’s ecosystem, higher‑resolution camera and faster wireless charging may lean toward the iPhone, while those who value a more advanced display, higher‑resolution sensor, and a built‑in stylus will find the Galaxy S24 Ultra more appealing.
