iPhone 16 vs S24 Ultra (what ACTUALLY matters)

[@PeteMatheson]

Appreciate you all watching this one! Not your usual tech review I know. As a tech reviewer I just kinda get a bit bored of all of the pixel by pixel comparisons. People seem to forget what’s actually important. And most of the time, it’s not which phone is in their pocket 😁 But alas, iPhone vs the world will continue in 2025! Happy Christmas all 🎄

[@bryans8656]

The only phone that tempts me to step out of Apple's walled garden is Samsung's Z Flip 6. It really appeals to me.

[@jaydanielstech]

Totally agree. For me it’s largely about what has the least amount of friction sharing photos and videos with friends and family. Given that 99% of my friends use iPhone it’s best and easiest to be on that device. Outside of that, it’s petty, but the grocery/meal planning app my wife and I use works terribly on Android. Great video!

[@acemotorsports23]

Just buy what ever you like, have money, buy both. Simple

[@erickbeaudry]

I am shocked you are framing this as Apple vs Android when Apple is an ecosystem and therefore the product when the whole point of Android is not to be an ecosystem and provide maximum freedom to choose à la carte. It's a sticking point for me because while I am happy with Apple, I wished there was actual competition in ecosystem. But you did raise something I didn't really noticed before and that's the Samsung ecosystem. Which ironically are expensive but might be something to look into. Otherwise comparing an Android phone to a component of the Apple ecosystem only works but to a point. No one should be buying an iPhone on its own, it works but you would be missing what makes it truly work. Especially when Samsung does produce some great phones. So I get where you wanted to go, but framing it like you did kind of detract from it. I buy Apple not because I am a fan but because it works and people buy Android because it works. But true fans? I have yet to meet them

Ahhh thanks so much!

[@sstrafer]

Best intro ever!!!❤ Great video man!

[@PeteMatheson]

Thank you!! 🙏🏼

[@sstrafer]

You are right. It's not about the device or the brand. It's about what that device does for you, along the journey of life. This is how everybody should review devices.

[@PeteMatheson]

Exactly - gets so old seeing the same comments all the time moaning about what phone someone uses 😜

[@TheQuickBooksChap]

This video wasn't what I expected, but it was incredible... the intro was fantastic! 2025 is going to be HUGE

Ahhh thanks so much man! Working hard on these style intros 🤘🏼

@@PeteMatheson and happy New Year to you in advance ❤️❤️

[@bruhproductions2078]

All i care about in a phone is the freedom to do whatever i want and practicality, that's why i just can't choose to use an iPhone, don't get me wrong, they are amazing phones, it's just isn't what i am looking for, that's why i have always gone with Samsung because they just cover my wants and needs very well. At the end of the day just get what YOU like, nobody else really cares what device you are using except for YOU! Sending peace and love to everyone ❤️

[@PeteMatheson]

Spot on! That’s why we have choice, or we’d all be very boring people 😁 merry Christmas!

[@MrOldskool1974]

Unless you live in the US where people get bullied for having green bubbles. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Even dating websites have taken surveys where 20% of woman said they’d never date a man who uses an Android phone. 😂 what in the world is wrong with people?!

[@shantellebarnett2592]

Amazing video! Made me think about a lot.

[@PeteMatheson]

Thank you!

[@TheAntAssassin]

This is why I subscribe to your channel. It’s easy to get caught up in specs and cameras and all the other things that tech reviewers mention in their videos. But rarely have I found a video that approaches the subject from a similar perspective as my own - from a father. Well made and well spoken. Thank you! Bringing family and technology together into a much needed reality check. It’s about how your tech can supplement and compliment your lifestyle. Not the other way around. If Apple works well for me and android works well for someone else, that’s great. This video helped me a lot! Thanks!

[@PeteMatheson]

Thank you so much man! KZbin is full of single guys and girls who seem to have all the time in the world to nit pick details between phones. I rarely know what day of the week it is 🤣

[@TheAntAssassin]

That spectacular Intro Pete ❤, loved it.. for 4 mins i forget i am watching a tech Video 😅.. Rocking my Pixel 9 Pro XL this year, it really is so amazing this time though .

[@kaiichinose9590]

Well said, perfect example of how a review of different devices should be. I have used both devices side by side for years but what they both did is give me the opportunity to record the things in life that matters. Its all about choice, the real winner is the consumer in which one they prefer. Both are excellent devices no right or wrong.

[@PeteMatheson]

Spot on, and thank you so much! Glad you watched and enjoyed 😃

[@drivera717]

First off great video, love the intro ❤. In 2024 I attempted to use the S24 Ultra a few times but ended up being frustrated with the camera and switching back to the 13 Pro Max. The S24U kept producing blurry photots no matter what settings or adjustments I'd make. I eventually landed on the Pixel 9 Pro XL and have been enjoying my experience. Even though the tensor chip isn't the most powerful the overall experience is perfect for my needs.

[@PeteMatheson]

Ah man, the pixel is such a great phone this year. The number of times I've gone to re buy the pixel fold .... It's like a daily occurrence for me now 🤣

[@latingringo89]

Had to look back at the title to see if I clicked the wrong video for the first minutes there lol. Then you cracked me up when you said "Let's get straight too it" 😂

[@CastroJordan]

I’ve used both for years. Actually got rid of all Apple earlier this year and really thought I’d be final (this time.. did this back and forth constantly around 2010, before I decided on using both). I missed it and got my devices back. I really love both. My 15 Pro is my primary, selling my 24U and sticking with my Zfold6 as my Galaxy device. Haven’t used pixel in years, probably should.

Able to choose a different clock for aod 5. New edge panel functions as calculator, live activity ,and Samsung internet to be able to make some search directly in the edge panel

What an intro! I also have a yearend video on the make, all compilations of the best moments, shot from galaxy S23.

[@sukcesor100]

Great video. Amazing intro ❤ Pete can you share the settings for 24u camera? For me it’s the only deal breaker for Samsung. I sold 15 pro max and got 24u. It is a hands down better phone. But low light photos and photos of moving objects even in perfect light conditions are not good. Shutter speed is just too slow and there is always a blurred part.

[@nauscakes1868]

Opening your video with the 50 Shades of Gray theme song was certainly a choice, lol...

they actually both have very bad cameras. it’s so strange, so many people say that they have excellent cameras and that the oneplus 13 has mediocre cameras, but youtubers are simply showing that the oneplus 13 has waaay better cameras. when the s21 ultra came out i didn’t mind spending the extra money, i just wanted those ‘excellent cameras’’ but right away i was so very disappointed and yes, also the s24 ultra still seems to have lot’s of grain/noise in it’s camera footage. it seriously is very bad.
