At Relab, we sell as many Samsungs as iPhones. We have no interest in pushing you toward one brand or the other. What matters to us is that you're satisfied.
So here is the most honest comparison you'll find.
Each one beats the other in these areas
iPhone wins on:
Software lifespan: Apple supports its iPhones for 6-7 years minimum. The iPhone 13, released in 2021, will get updates until 2027-2028. Few Android phones do that (except Samsung since the S24).
Consistent experience: iOS is always smooth, even on older models. No bloatware, no gradual slowdown like you sometimes see on Android.
Apple ecosystem: If you have a Mac, AirPods, an Apple Watch — the iPhone integrates magically with everything. AirDrop, Handoff, Continuity Camera: impossible to do the same with Samsung.
Resale value: An iPhone loses less value than a Samsung of an equivalent model. Important if you resell in 2 years.
Samsung wins on:
Customization: Android lets you customize everything. Home screens, widgets, default apps, themes. Impossible on iPhone without a jailbreak.
The screen: Galaxy AMOLED displays are among the best on the market. Extreme brightness (useful in the Moroccan sun), vibrant colors, 120Hz on more models.
Fast charger included: Samsung always includes a charger. Apple doesn't (since the iPhone 12).
Mid-range price: The Galaxy A line (A55, A35) offers excellent performance for 3,000 – 4,500 DH. Apple has no equivalent at this price.
Built-in AI: Galaxy AI on the S24 and later is more advanced than Apple Intelligence in 2026.
The question that decides everything
"What do you use on your computer?"
- Mac → iPhone (the integration is exceptional)
- Windows/Linux → Your choice, but Samsung offers more flexibility
