We\u2019ll stick with the comparison that makes the most sense, iPhones vs. Samsung Galaxy phones.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, Apple\u2019s top-of-the-line phone is the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The base model costs $1,099 from Apple. It has a 6.7-inch display, 128GB of storage, and three cameras on the back.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung\u2019s top-of-the-line phone (that doesn\u2019t have a foldable screen) is the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/67646\/the-best-cases-for-your-new-samsung-galaxy-s21\/\">Galaxy S21 Ultra<\/a>. The base model costs $1,199 from Samsung. It has a 6.8-inch display, 128GB of storage, and four cameras on the back.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, both companies are offering high-end devices with very comparable features and similar pricing. The big difference is the iPhone 13 Pro Max can go up to 1TB of storage for $1,599, whereas the Galaxy S21 Ultra stops at 256GB for $1,249.<\/p>\n<p>This is the case pretty much across the board. The best Android devices cost just as much as the best iPhones. Another example is the Google Pixel 6 Pro, which starts at $900 for 128GB. That\u2019s $200 less than the base iPhone 13 Pro Max, but certainly isn\u2019t \u201ccheap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>10 Things to Do With Your New iPhone<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Good_Phones_Are_Good_Phones\"><\/span>Good Phones Are Good Phones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The truth is smartphones have settled into very similar pricing models.
