IPhone 12 Pro Max counts with iOS 15.x OS, while Samsung Galaxy S21 comes with Android 11 OS.

The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max features a little sharper screen than Galaxy S21, because although it has less bright display, it also counts with a little bit bigger screen, a bit higher pixels count in each inch of screen and a slightly better 1284 x 2778 resolution.

The Galaxy S21 shoots just a bit better videos and photos than Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not nice for shooting photographs and/or video in poorly lited situations, and they both have the same resolution camera in the back, the Galaxy S21 also counts with a much higher video definition.

So if you want that extra features, you can buy iPhone 12 Pro Max, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the Galaxy S21, giving up some specifications.
