Does anyone else think that the Samsung plays music much better than the Apple?

While I know that Spotify isn't the best sound reproduction.  To me, Samsung sounds significantly better than Apple. 

Four years ago I fired Apple as my phone hardware and went with Samsung.  I got tired of Apple slow downs every time I updated my software.  Got the Samsung home and noticed that my music via Spotify sounded much better. 

Recently I had to fire Samsung.  I had a Note 9 and was trapped in a infinite do loop.  It continually wanted to update the software, via forced shutdowns.  The phone would reboot and go through the whole cycle again.  Found out that the phone doesn't support the new software and it was just going to keep doing that. 

So, I decided to give Apple another try.  Got it home hoping with all their hardware upgrades it would sound better than before and nope, very disappointed.

This conversation doesn't mean much without mentioning the music format and apps being used. FLAC and AIFF files played through Poweramp app on iphone sound a ton better than Apple Music on same phone. 
Also, assuming you're using bluetooth to wireless headphones/buds, the newer bluetooth protocols sound promising, or at least noticeable, so if you're judging the hardware, be sure you're talking apples-to-apples. Cheers,
