The Apple iPhone 15 lineup has finally arrived, so it's time to compare them to the Samsung Galaxy S23 family of devices. We have yet to test the new iPhones, so we will be using specs along with Apple's claims to figure out which phone is a good fit for you.
Apple iPhones and Samsung Galaxies typically are some of the most expensive phones in the market. Each family of devices has a wide range of pricing and the old adage always applies: you get what you pay for. Here's the breakdown.
