Khaberni - Despite the fierce historical competition between "Samsung" and "Apple" in the smartphone market, the difference between the two companies is not limited to Android and iOS only, but extends to the diversity of products.
While "Apple" focuses on a specific ecosystem of devices, "Samsung" has a broader portfolio that includes categories not found at all in "Apple" stores.
Here are five prominent product categories you can find at Samsung that are not available at "Apple".
Foldable Phones
Until the beginning of 2026, "Apple" has not launched any foldable phone, whereas "Samsung" has several options, including:
- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7.
- Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7.
- Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold.
Fold7 offers a large display that extends up to 8 inches when unfolded, while Flip7 provides a more compact experience at a lower price.
TriFold adopts a triple-folding design with a screen nearly 10 inches.
Despite recurring rumors about the iPhone Fold, Apple has not officially confirmed entry into this market yet.
Smart Ring
"Samsung" has entered the wearable device market from a new angle with the Galaxy Ring, while "Apple" does not have a smart ring yet.
The ring comes with a titanium body and includes sensors for measuring skin temperature, heart health indicators, and tracking activity and sleep.
It also features a battery life of up to 14 days, compared to devices like the Apple Watch Series 11, which offers up to about 38 hours in power saving mode.
Phones Equipped with a Built-in Pen
"Samsung" provides the experience of a phone with a built-in pen through Galaxy S25 Ultra, which comes with an S Pen inside the same chassis.
The pen can be used for taking notes, drawing, instant translation, and writing on the lock screen.
On the other hand, "Apple" sells the Apple Pencil but it is designed for iPads only and does not work with iPhone.
Refrigerators and Smart Home Appliances
"Apple" does not sell any home appliances, while "Samsung" owns a wide production line of refrigerators, washing machines, and smart ovens.
Among the most prominent is the Samsung Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with AI Family Hub.
This refrigerator comes with a 32-inch touchscreen built into the door, with support for Amazon Alexa voice assistant, and the ability to display photos and videos and control them via phone.
Smart Vacuum Cleaners
In the category of home appliances as well, "Samsung" offers the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra vacuum cleaner, equipped with artificial intelligence technologies capable of recognizing the type of flooring and automatically adjusting suction power.
It also supports connectivity through the SmartThings app, and contains a cleaning station that automatically empties the container.
While "Apple" often excels in integrating its devices and processor performance, "Samsung" leads in terms of diversity of price categories and products, from foldable phones to smart home appliances.
What is "Brick" that helps young people break free from screen addiction?
Over-dependence on smartphones has become one of the major problems of the digital age, where studies show that excessive use of apps—particularly social media platforms—is linked to anxiety, attention disorders, and sleep disturbances.
In this context, "Brick" emerged as one of the most important recent innovations designed to curb digital addiction by creating a physical and psychological barrier that prevents quick access to distracting apps, according to a report published by "The Independent" and reviewed by "Arabia Business".
What is the "Brick" device?
The "Brick" device is a small magnetic box that relies on NFC technology and works alongside a special app on the phone.
As soon as the user touches the phone to the device, "Bricked" mode is activated, which blocks selected apps by the user, such as social media, gaming, or news platforms.
This mode can only be deactivated by touching the phone to the device again, making it more difficult to bypass compared to traditional phone restrictions that can be easily turned off by the user.
How does the "Brick" device work?
According to recent reviews, the "Brick" device allows the user to create up to 10 different modes, each with varying limits depending on the needs—such as work mode, study time, or family time.
After choosing the blocked or allowed apps, just touching the phone to the device activates the mode.
Upon activation, a timer starts on the phone to track the focus duration and encourages the user to continue away from the screen.
The main feature of "Brick" is that blocking cannot be undone remotely; if the user leaves home without the device, they will not be able to acces...
