That's pretty cool.
It's been awhile since I last used a iPhone 13 Pro Max for work but I do recall the constant announcements there with previous models when Apple would announce yet another great "new" feature for iPhone that Android users already had for a year or two at that stage.
Samsung also made some good media campaigns on the announcements and used the lineups for new iPhones fairly well in their advertising.
I will say I thought the iPhone 13 camera was pretty goof, the battery life was too, and within the Apple walled garden the texting of videos was nice. The overall user experience for me wasn't a good fit. I like to browse the web without ads and watch videos without them too. Some of that can be done with a iPhone but it's clunky and the web browsers are just safari.
There's other customizable options I prefer that I can do with Android that isn't an option yet for Apple but I do know they will be able to at some stage.
Overall the whole apple vs android has been great for consumers. If it wasn't for the competition between Apple and the Android products neither group would be as far along.
