Keeps the headphone jack, microSD slot and great speakers, but the camera is less dependable than Samsung's.

Apple Reframe

Impressively realistic for a few reframes, but pushed to the limit the AI-generated image falls apart in funny ways.

A huge jump over old Siri with excellent design and integration, but capability-wise it only catches up with Gemini and the best version is…
