I used to think that too mate , and it is nice too be sure, but it is not everything. I own both platforms and was a galaxy note boy from the note 2 , ( and still use my note 9 today)but despite some of IOS being bloody annoying with some its little quirks at times , it does have some very good points , and I don’t give a shit about bubble colour, and in all honesty I still use my iphones (12 and 14 pro max )more like android phones😀, as for the walled garden that apple is famous for that some see as a downer , I actually think it is a good thing for some important reasons . For a start , anyone that’s downloaded app’s from googles play store has probably had experience with masses of annoying pop ups , and even some apps and even some android launchers have been found to be nefarious or decidedly dodgy for years . Having been on the dark side for heading for 3 years now , I have had no such issues with apples App Store , and have no problem getting stuff from it , while on the google play store I stopped downloading some years ago because of risk and a lack of confidence using it. In the end, both platforms have good and bad points, and when my old note finally dies I don’t think I’ll replace it with another galaxy , , as some of the features I bought my note 9 for you no longer get on the watered down S Ultra , the iPhone while being a bit behind in some areas still gets most of the basics right , nice loud speakers, nice screen, good performance, I actually use the mute button, so that’s handy while we still have it , MagSafe I initially thought was a gimmick turns out I use it every single day, Apple Pay works very nicely, the camera and video are still very good despite not having the best zoom , and in my use I get often a day and half before having to charge it. Also if my iPhone phone is on charge in the bedroom and I’m using my MacBook or iPad and I get a phone call , it comes through on both devices and I can just take the call like normal on either device . Again while apple does annoy the shit out of me with the odd IOS quirk , it has way more good points , and for those I like it.

I am still for the S23 Ultra. These days it is mostly about preference. Both are amazing devices. Wife is iPhone and I am former iPhone but have loved the seemingly endless customization of Android and it is hard to give that up. I can made it look and behave exactly how I want it to and easily change themes on the fly so I don't get bored so easily with my phone. Also love my Samsung zoom camera. Wife borrows my phone often when we go out. IPhone is a status symbol for some which I don't understand. I am not one to necessarily follow the crowd. I don't like the iPhone notch which they renamed Dynamic Island. Still a distracting notch in my book. But again, a matter of preferences.

[@daverose5191]

@@justinbpriceI don't feel I made any sacrifices switching to Android. I have had no issues texting any of my iPhone friends including my spouse. We text each other just the same. Just the bubble color changed to green on the iPhones. But if I want the blue bubble again I can just create it. LOL! I can share photos and documents by link, QR code, OR even share directly by email, text, or direct download. As far as FaceTime, I don't do much of that. But if I did there is other options like Google which is cross platform. It is Apple that insists on being to proprietary right from the start. We had the first iPhone where they designed the ports where you had to buy their plug in earphones. That's Apple's marketing. There is a whole world out there besides iPhone.

It gets hot to the touch where you can’t even touch it and that’s just too much for me anymore and it’s just, there’s just no comparison anymore.

With that said, I like that Apple has finally ditched the notch on its flagship at least, and given a bit more customization when it comes to the software experience. I hope they continue to keep that same energy. And I'm not sure if you've done this but I'd love a full-on ecosystem comparison video. It would help to shut up a lot of naysayers. 😅 great work.

[@KingDeadMan]

People will say the Iphone is better at video, yet, the Iphone is clearly oversharpening its imagine, while the S23U looks crisp & natural. Tbh, it's all down to preference, which creators tend to think their opinions are a fact instead of the mere opinions that they are.

[@tracymw]

I've had a Samsung S8 since they came out (in 2017?). It is the best, most reliable phone I've ever had and I've waited and waited for something to break down, slow down, or freeze up, before I'd consider getting a new phone. While my reliable S8 is still going strong, after watching this review and doing some other research, I'm planning to get an S23 Ultra but I won't be trading in my S8. I plan to continue holding onto it until the wheels fall off. The only thing that has deteriorated on the S8 is the quality of the photos and videos but am concerned those wheels may come off at an inconvenient time so I need to upgrade sooner rather than later. The only thing I never liked is the irritating built-in Bixby assistance and how easily it is to accidently push the side button and have Bixby offer to help me, but I've learned to live with that. Anyway, I'm finally looking forward to a phone that appears to be just as fantastic as my S8 was when I bought it.

[@WillTech-]

[@rpd97]

I was a long time iphone user. I did everything in life and work Apple and would get into debates over both phones. I have felt that over the past 5 years that Apple has brought nothing dramatic to the table for their devices. Steve Jobs always had something innovative to bring out for the company. Android systems have passed Apple years ago on hardware and functionality. I decided to go with a new s23 ultra in March. I was pretty nervous because I was so tied to the Apple ecosystem. The more I use this phone and experience the incredible features and customization it has, I wish I would have switched earlier. There are so many friends and family that only care about the blue bubble for messaging and airdrop but it is not a deal breaker for me. This is a great video explaining it all.

[@icentuche90]

[@avaraz6941]

Love both phones, I've been an android user my whole life, and unlike the apple fanboys are saying, no, none of my phones started lagging after 1year. They have so much RAM (much more than apple in fact), that they *can't* lag. Anyway, I'm interested in switching to apple one day, because I want to change a little, and see what apple offers with their OS. Problem is, they haven't done anything significant in the last... few years, the Iphone 14 is just copy of the Iphone 10.. The only thing that changed from the 13 to the 14 is "dynamic island", which is more of a gimmick than a feature, I still don't see it's use. Compared to the added S-pen that the s23 brings , which is a game changer. So I'm still waiting for Apple to finally do something new, "innovate", like samsung did with the Fold, Flip, or the new 200MP camera on their phones, but apple fans are still satisfied with the same basic phone every year so I guess Apple isn't going to innovates soon, because they don't need to. That's such a shame.

I was very in doubt when everyone was praising s23 ultra but I couldn't believe how it can be so much better, but after trying both phones 14pro max and 23 ultra I was really shock. S23U offers so much for being a phone whereas iPhone offers very good features but not like s23. No regrets choosing the s23 Ultra.

[@daddyknowsbest2341]

Pros and cons with both. These days a lot less cons can be found in either, and a lot more pros. Think it really comes down to what OS you prefer. I personally encourage IOS users to at least try the new latest and greatest that android has to offer every few years to gain an objective opinion on both OS. This year, I will be switching to the S23 Ultra for the next couple years, and then see what Apple has available with the iPhone 16-17. For me, the new dynamic island is more of an intrusive gimmick than a perk. But, that’s just my opinion. ✌️

[@SapSapient]

While I've never run into the blue-green bubble thing in real life, I don't think it could sway me towards iOS.

I like both but that freedom and customization on android make it the easier device or more intriguing device to use.

Hey,have you seen comparisons of the s23 Ultra's and the 14PM's speakers? They're pretty close,so iphone leading in speakers might come to an end

[@Nathan-qn4pc]

@@wirlt hmmm yea, I mean Samsung speakers are just as loud almost, but what it ME is just the bass and clarity of iPhone speakers. Trust me I miss torrenting and downloading emulators. When Samsung’s fold or ultra has the specs I like on apple I will go back haha I can do without iMessage

[@wirlt]

@@Nathan-qn4pc you could use the EQ setting on the s23 ultra to help strengthen the quality. Eg tuning to make a deeper bass but I get it when Samsung makes those changes the products will really shine. Stuff like iMessage and facetime are things apple uses to connect everyone, basically making them feel like they don't want to leave or that they can't get out of the ecosystem or that they'll be lost without those things. But as an overall phone it's just what it has to offer, just your preference. Depends on what you like

[@Hex_TCG]

Fold 3 5g user here. Yesterday, I opened my fold and my screen literally cracked, just by opening it. The inside screen is no longer usable and my quoted repair cost is $470. I've been using it since release. I'm leaving the fold family and going back to the normal form factor (ultra)

[@pdppihsan]

With snapdragon 8 gen 2, 100mp camera like s22 ultra and improved hinge, the upcoming fold 5 which will be released in august is definitely worth it ❤

[@volks7]

After years of using Samsung I switched to Iphone 14 PM so far no regrets Both are good phones but Iphone software is more stable and secure and with less ram still beats Samsung

[@mariomario7379]

[@StefanUrkel]

objectively speaking, S23 Ultra blows away the iPhone 14 PM and its gimmicky dynamic island!

[@MNHS16]

The curved screen will always be a bigger gimmick than the dynamic island. I’d be the first to throw my iPhone out if Samsung ever makes a flat ultra model.

[@lordzeuscannon6400]

Having owned several Samsung curved screen phones now, it's just the superior screen in every way. Flat display looks garbo now

Hey mate, between S23U and 14 PM, wich one should i go for it?

Photos taken with the 50mp and 200mp camera were over saturated (auto correction by Samsung AI), the pics look unrealistic. Hope Samsung will fix it in the next software update, everything else are good.

[@sercan272727]

you can reduce saturation post processing, even before you snap it. overall I like samsung colors despite the saturation.

[@michealadebz]

I keep noticing some heavy Samsung bias in the comments and I think a lot of Samsung users feel the need to justify their purchase or brand by commenting on several of these comparison videos even though the iPhone just speaks with its sales volumes, while Samsungs best selling phone will be its mid tier phones like the a series even their best selling ones will sell less than apples worst selling phone. You’ll constantly see Samsung knights defending their brand without actually having used either phone listing the severest gimmicky features of the Samsung like unpaid Samsung salesmen. Funny thing it’s not just the Samsung knights too Samsung relies on a sad desperate advertising tactics to get iPhone users to switch. They make fun of Apple devices only to be caught with a scandal of their own or to copy the exact thing they made fun of. And it just makes Samsung look like this sad desperate brand trying to cling onto apples larger market share which is one of the personal reasons why I won’t use a Samsung ever. And the reason for the sales discrepancy being that iPhones are simply just better. They last longer they hold value longer I mean hell the iPhone X has had almost 6 years of updates and you can still sell it for 200-300usd no Samsung phone will give you that. People just want stability and iPhone gives you that. Unless you want a 1100 hole in you pocket every year this doesn’t matter to you. Honestly the only android phone I can respect or switch to is a pixel. Dunno why I went on this silly rant just felt the need to voice my thoughts

[@filbao8113]

Samsung has so much to offer for less... while apple users are just focus on blue text messages lmaooo

[@frankjackson9379]

Samsung 23 Ultra

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

It's ok zooming in mega far, but the quality and clarity drops, it's great for looking at something closer though, yes. This year's 15 Pro Max should see Samsung and Pixel off with its new periscope lens, hopefully, but I won't hold my breath! I sold my 14 Pro Max for a Pixel 7 Pro, which has in my opinion, a way better camera, but I so want Apple to keep up with the rest, maybe this will be the year! Thanks 👍 😊

[@Pistolita221]

I really hope samsung boosts the MP count on its non-primary lenses. A 48 or 50mp 10x could digitally crop another 2x for 20x lossless zoom at 12 mp. That means (assuming processing doesn't improve) that the camera system could zoom 50-60x and still produce usable pictures.

[@MbSbAquaGamer]

The only thing disappointing to android fans is that which is the biggest difference is that after one or two years android does get laggy and where as iPhone will be better in performance . This is hard truth but real

[@lordzeuscannon6400]

Nah. Haven't noticed that at all. Those people must be buying disposable phones

[@steveng1577]

You are right, the gap between Apple and Samsung is really narrowing. In 2023, I do believe a good mid range phone is perfect for the 90% mass. If you want a premium device, just go with the one you feel comfortable. You won't be disappointed.

[@DimitarBerberu]

Why would you want "premium" iPhone that is surpassed by superior 1/2 price smartphones from China in very short time? The only reason I would go for premium is the S-pen.

[@scottcarpenter910]

Okay, honest question here. Not trying to be biased at all, so here goes.. I used to be an android user years back (don’t ask how long ago 😢), and had sooo many issues I hated the idea of ever using an android EVER again. iPhone offered me everything I want and never gave ME issues other than after two years the battery 🪫 life not lasting, and from what I could tell that was across the board for everyone. Other than that the Apple was far more reliable for me than any other and android didn’t give me the same feeling. However, these ultra S22’s and the Ultra 23’s have raised an eyebrow I will admit! I mean wow! As a Loyal Apple user now for several years I am finding myself looking closer at them. Does anyone else have a similar story and how is the ease of use in comparison? I found the Apple way more user friendly over the years, but has that changed? Very honest and very curious question here. Anyone that has made the switch give a little help here?

[@kentton6343]

I like to hold Samsung more in hand because its feel good and lighter. Also can use one hand to control the phone easily, other than that, battery is running out so fast on Samsung, there is an option to set display at QHD but battery life last terrible. Iphone can let me enjoy watching or reading things longer hours than Samsung and also it sounds better than Samsung. Lastly, After 2-3 years using, Iphone still working fine only losing % battery life. But Samsung will cause more major issues in performance. When you have an Iphone, peace in mind and you trust it, never think if any issue happens just leave it on the desk if not using it. That makes you feel it a bit boring and wanna look at Samsung with more features and more things to play around. Iphone is wife, Samsung is Girlfriend sums up.

[@lordzeuscannon6400]

@@kentton6343 I would disagree completely. My galaxy note 9 has the same battery life as it did when new, no degradation has been detected. And it's been a lot of years now. You will not have the same story with an iPhone. The batteries don't last

[@hankmiller990]

The Galaxy offers so much more usability-/productivity option. Offerst far more/better personalization options, better gaming- and multi-media experience and more innovation. This is what the Ultra offers that the iPhone doesn't: DEX, S-Pen, Multi-Window, Multi-Tasking, inscreen fingerprint scanner, KNOX, file-manager, integration with X-box live, Windows and Spotify. 10 x optical Zoom, Super RAW mode, 200 MP lens, 8K video at 24 fps, camera integration with TikTok, Facebook and Instagram, far better widgets and customization options (themes), fast charging (45 W)m reverse wireless charging and last but not least 100% integration of Samsung's eco-system SmartThings with Mercedes's MBUX Voice Assistant. Samsung's eco-system is much much larger with: refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, airco's, washing- and drying machines, tv's, soundbars, audio-systems (Harman Kardon), MBUX voice assistant from Mercedes/Maybach and so much more.

Don't think 2 months is "long term" 🤣 Had my S23U since 12th of February and yeah it's a great phone, battery big, camera amazing, speakers amazing and it's got a really bright screen for viewing outdoors Even with big hands it's a bit uncomfortable to hold in hand in a case, previous phone was Note 20 Ultra which was perfect but my battery being bad after 2 years and having a touch screen issue made me upgrade. If my note 20 Ultra wasn't suffering with touch issues would've just swapped in a new battery and kept using it for another couple years hopefully Glad i upgraded definitely but it's not really that much of an upgrade Edit: forgot to mention reception is slightly worse on the S23U as well on Vodafone network in Ireland

If you are on intense photography with high expectation and loves gadget innovation and you replace your phone every 2 to 3 yrs then get s23U hands down, but if you’re by after on the reliability, stable, more mature and secured software with average and professional photography user the get Iphone 14 PM.. My (5yr old) iphone XS 256gb still running smoothly and captures picture on its camera very decently..ios and its security is still up to date after 5 yrs which is truly amazing and this is the reason why resale value of iphones is significantly better than all android phones..
