Samsung could pull a similar trick with the Galaxy S25 family, namely release the three expected handsets—the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra—in mid-January and hold back the presumptively named S25 Slim for a few months.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 leaks and rumors aren't showing any signs of stopping – ahead of an official launch expected in January 2025 – and the most recent sneak preview of this series comes courtesy of three phone case leaks.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is available right now, with prices starting at $1,199 for a 256GB model. This $100 price difference would give Apple the edge on Samsung.
