Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition
Our Verdict: There's only a few months between the Samsung Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition and the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max, so this one comes down to the specs. The S25 Enterprise Edition leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the iPhone 16 Pro Max's 48MP, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max has the bigger battery of the two, 4685mAh against 4000mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The iPhone 16 Pro Max has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.9" against 6.2" and sharper at 458 PPI, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max offers up to 1TB of storage versus 128GB on the S25 Enterprise Edition. Unusually, the cheaper iPhone 16 Pro Max takes some of the spec wins as well, so it's the obvious choice for most people.
If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is the cheaper buy at £650 SIM-free.
