Is it just me,Watch Private Video Magazine 7 or did some aspects of Samsung Unpacked remind you of the iPhone 15 event?

Samsung swiped a few features from the iPhone 15 Pro Max for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. But to be fair, both worlds are known for borrowing from each other. For example, when the iPhone 15 debuted last year, I couldn't help but notice some similarities with the Google Pixel 7 line.

As they say, "It's not about who did it first. It's about who did it better." Here are three things that Galaxy S24 Ultra copied from iPhone 15 Pro Max.

I can't believe that neither Apple nor Samsung took the opportunity to blast Sia's "Titanium" tune at their respective events, but both the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro models debuted with new titanium frames.

Apple claimed that it used titanium for the iPhone 15 Pro models' enclosures because it's "incredibly strong and durable," but lightweight, too.

At Unpacked, Samsung also boasted that its latest top-tier phone is equipped with titanium, the toughest metal it's ever used for a Galaxy S series handset. Samsung added that it has "higher corrosion resistance, yield strength, and hardness."

2. A flatter display

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra now has a flat display — à lathe iPhone 15 Pro Max. In other words, it no longer has a screen that curves around the edges.

According to Samsung, this flat display makes it easier to use the S Pen. I'd also add that installing screen protectors on the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be a more seamless experience, too.

3. Gaming

Determined to show off the graphical prowess of the A17 Pro chip inside the iPhone 15 Pro models, Apple announced that games previously only available on game consoles, PCs and Macs — like Resident Evil Villageand Resident Evil 4 Remake — can now run natively on the new-generation phones.

Similarly, Samsung boasted that graphics performance, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, improved by 30%.

As such, the South Korea-based giant claims that it's the "best smartphone for gaming." Plus, similar to the iPhone 15 Pro models, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra boasts heightened ray-tracing effects for better dynamic lighting across mobile titles.

Final thoughts

Despite these similarities, I could pull out a scroll of unique features that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra does not share with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, including the Galaxy AI camera effects and productivity features that are designed to make users' lives easier.

Stay tuned for our in-depth review of the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
