This is patently not true. In which way is the iPhone better? I have an Iphone 11 pro max and a samsung Note 20 ultra. Due to the Samsung having dual SIM it's now my work and home phone and the iPhoneis in a drawer. It has superior speed, more usability, 5g, a better stills camera, more memory (which is upgradable). I'm not having a go by the way it's just I hear a lot of people say the iPhone is better than a Samsung but really struggle to define why
I am fully aware of that, hence my original post.

Ah I see you have an A40. That's fair enough. It's kind of like saying BMWs are worse than Mercedes because my 220d isn't as good as my Maybach. You're comparing two different things.I'm comparing it to my previous Samsung models which were Galaxy S3/S6/S7, I also have a Samsung A40 currently as a work phone, not a bad little phone but I find the Face ID to be glitchy and the battery performance is poor, it just doesn't feel as smooth as the Iphone, i'm aware that this is a lower end of the market so probably not comparable to the Iphone 11. Granted, I thought the Galaxy models were good enough phones to have a number for a few years however I grew frustrated with them, the size just kept getting bigger and I thought the hardware was prone to damage and wasn't very durable (I had to claim a number of times against phone insurance). Changing to the Iphone 7 was a massive upgrade and the Iphone 11 is a great piece of kit, battery performance is tremendous. I see no advantages in any of the Samsung models to make the move any time soon.
Perhaps if I had the phone you are quoting, I might feel differently but it looks the size of a small house, appears to be significantly more expensive and worst of all, it's a Samsung
Depends what he means by superior I agree, but empirically a comparable Samsung currently is superior than it's rival iPhone. Faster processor, WAY more memory, more storage, more useful storage (i.e it's expenadable), better stills photography, more costumisable and useful operating system, bigger battery, better unlocking features (in the current fully masked world face unlock is useless. Samsung offer both that and a fingerprint unlock)
I've also deliberately ignored Samsung Dex because iPhones haven't even attempted such complex functionality as this. Not even close. Huawei are the only other company I know of that has a Dex type system.
You get the phone and the data plan for that price? Seems a good deal.
That is a good deal but can I suggest you reconsider? This video is pretty enlightening. The use case for the iPhone 12 pro is very small indeed. If you want an improved camera over the iPhone 12, upgrade to the Pro max. If you don't, then the iPhone 12 should be everything you need. The way I see it the only advantage of getting a pro is the (possible) memory boost over the 12. That's not actually confirmed and with apples stripped back operating system is almost certainly not necessary. Seems either the 12 pro max or the normal 12 are the ones to go for.
Smalltown && W,Red,
I'm thinking of getting the 12. 128gb is @$900+ 8% tax here though.
5g can only get better and quickly. It was hopeless round here at the start of the year but the speeds I get on Vodafone are unreal now. Also the iPhone has mmwave 5g which I believe is even faster than standard 5g. If you live in a big city you’ll likely be able to benefit from this soon
I read on CNET that the real benefit was video calls and downloading things like Netflix etc ?
Yeah, I've teleconferenced over 5g in West London and it works well. You probably won't notice it for everyday stuff but downloading is so much quicker.
yes, I'm running VPN and an app called fyde
