I've said this a million times and have had 2 million Apple people argue with me about it. The multitasking is a 110% deal breaker for me when it comes to iPhone. Them people say they have it but they just don't understand until they use "proper" multitasking. I use it literally every single day, sometimes triple screen multitasking and it makes my life a zillion times easier. Plus the customization is huge for me. I change my wallpaper, icons, color pallet, folder layout, etc...etc every day and love that I can.

I was an apple fan boy up until the 12 pro max BTW so I'm able to see things from both sides. The s23 ultra is a seriously well rounded device that imo leaves apple in the dust overall. Iphones may have a few pros over it but samsungs latest flagships have had their pros as well.

I don't think I'll ever go back this phone is off the charts amazing. If I remember correctly, technically the iPhone is faster but this phone feels a hundred times faster. I definitely made the right decision to switch.

[@sonofage]

faster, but it is limited in what you can do. what's the point of a v12 engine but your vehicle is a shiny bicycle. I think Apple has good hardware for the most part but it's so locked. at least, with the iPads/iPhones. i have an m1 iPad that is sitting at home collecting dust because it's just for netflix and that's because i need to have some use for it. my s8 tab, is constantly used. i find it more intuitive and useful. Even the drawing thing with procreate, i guess, i'm not an expert artist but i find the s8 tab pretty good. doesn't have procreate but it has krita and clipstudio...i use infinite painter, i find it awesome.

Question.. did you change the screen resolution at all?

Or just clear the cache partition if you know of. You make some of my favorite videos on KZbin. I'm loving the s23 ultra so far. I have very high hopes for the z fold 5 when it comes out but it will be hard to pull away from a phone like this that basically nails everything perfectly. Samsung is getting better and better. It was also a safe bet to go Qualcomm in every device for every country. Once Samsung breaks the barrier with it's tizen software to compete with apples iOS, seriously game over. I am still waiting to see that day and I think it's coming. As much as I like Google and Samsung working together, Samsung's I believe is being held back by not being able to produce their true potential in that space. Nonetheless I did have an iphone 14 pro max for 3 and a half weeks and iOS 16 was so buggy I actually switched back to my s22 ultra and then waited to buy the s23 ultra. I'm sure glad I did. Another weird thing I noticed.. iphone screens I feel are not as sensitive as Samsung device screens which is weird because Samsung also makes their screens but with iphone I feel like I need to tap harder just for certain buttons to register. Sorry for the long response but all in all the s23 ultra is going to be the phone to beat. I'm loving it so far. Finally a smartphone that is essentially perfect.

It feels nice to have both the 14 Pro max and s23 ultra. I like them both.

[@srbell67]

I have them both too. How does one switch the e-sim back and forth, though?

[@FallenKiid]

@@srbell67 I have two different lines 😬

[@dovyjungreis5352]

Same here I love them both I’ve always been a Samsung fan this year I bought a iPhone 14 pro max and what I love about it is that it’s very classy but I can’t give up any of them it’s both really good phones

[@PAWNB3YOND]

have a s22 ultra. I work in manufacturing and they allow us to listen to music but don't like us constantly pulling out our phone. A lot of times, I want to change a song and because I'm using air pods pro 2 and it doesn't allow tap functionality on android, I was stuck for a while with no control of my music without having to pull out my phone. then, one day, I realize I could just take my s-pen out of the slot and put it on my work desk. Since then, I've been able to skip songs, replay songs, play, pause, by using the s-pen as a remote. I even use it with my lectures on Udemy and KZbin pro. It's such an awesome feature. These little things will make you realize how much you're giving up to join iphone platforms.

[@WalterWhiteful]

Hi ! Special thanks for your job and your story telling. i use both Samsung and iPhone on my daily basis for work and personal things. the thing i regret on Samsung it’s Samsung Pay and the lack of Face id on the Samsung. i live in France and since the S23 ultra with Snapdragon Soc we use to have the Exynos chip wich is a really bad customer experience for lags / heat and no batterylife. i hope the S23 ultra will be my iPhone killer. 🎉

[@sanveerkhanuja3249]

samsung pay is better than apple pay, and for biometrics you have fingerprint why u want face id

[@marcovonleijon9009]

Love ur videos. Keep them coming! Changed to s23 ultra myself also.

[@jazzysmovies]

I'm absolutely with you on this. Love my ultra 23. Using a spigen case with it and it was affordable and doing the job needed. Ordered the Samsung Galaxy watch 5 and sold my old iphone so I don't have one to go back to now! Now that you are not going back to apple, are you going to get a Samsung watch to go with your phone? Which one will you go with!? I think it would be so cool to see you do a comparison between the samsung galaxy watch and an apple watch! My only gripe with the Galaxy watch is I can't seem to get my visa debit card linked to the samsung pay for the watch. It will only do actual credit cards not visa debits which is annoying as I mainly use my chequing account. The on credit card I do have (Capital One) is also unsupported on both apple and samsung, lol.

[@itsbedtime224]

Do you use a screen protector?

[@jazzysmovies]

@itsbedtime224 I don't have one yet but I am about to get one. I'm scared to break the glass but so far so good!

[@Vegeta_215]

I had the same problem linking my debit card to Samsung pay. After fiddling with the app it eventually prompted me to call my bank (from Samsung wallet.) The rep basically said that my Credit Union was having problems initially setting it up. It worked flawlessly after though. Best of luck and hope this helps. If you have a Credit Union maybe it could be a similar problem.

First time checking out your channel and really has helped me with making my decision to switch. Keep it going man!

[@GODBLESSDZZ]

Thanks for the review. I've always been an iPhone user. But the s23 Ultra seems good to me. I have two worried points which are (1) if the Android is less safe than IOS? (2) if Android phones have a lot of advertisement, as I notice that many Android phones sold in China have so many advertisements.

[@amandamdesouza]

I have those questioning too.

[@GODBLESSDZZ]

@@amandamdesouza lol. I just bought the new iPhone last week. No matter what, iPhone still has good looking and reliable quality for me.

[@ViperOfMino]

Honestly man I got an Apple Watch like 3 days ago and I've been thinking of returning it. It's really cool but I just haven't really seen a use. My experience with Samsung phones (last one being the s7 edge) has always been "good for a month then complete trash." Now that you've had it for about a month or so, how is the battery? Still amazing? Because if it hasn't significantly slowed down I might decide to give this thing a go after I return the watch.

[@jurt00]

I'm thinking about doing the same thing, ValisMind. I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max and between the Apple Tax for new Apple Watch Ultra bands ($99 Apple? Get serious) to incremental hardware upgrades year-over-year, I think it's time to move on. Plus, I had to pay $800 to get an Apple Watch with decent battery life. I'm always hesitant to switch away from Apple because of FOMO for iMessage and FaceTime, but I don't need those. I have a MacBook Pro if I do need them. Great video, as always. I'm glad your channel is growing!

[@valismind]

I always get my bands from Amazon, ahha. But I feel that. Def getting expensive. Everything is these days to be fair though, but the iPhone doesn't seem to be changing much at all.

[@brianglennie888]

Same. The fomo with iMessage and FaceTime drag me back but I love the Samsung so much better. I just need fro settle down and stay instead of letting what other people are doing dictate what I do

it won't change lol you'll go back to the iPhone like every KZbinr that says they're switching Good video 👍👍

[@d3xkb3rry]

A great review. I agree with your decision why you switched to s23U. Samsung has come so far. As an iPhone user now who is contemplating the move to S23U, it’s tempting for sure. On balance though, it does come across as though you were finding any reason to slag off the iPhone. I’m not defending Apple or Samsung in any way btw. It’s like I’ve been driving a BMW for so long and enjoyed the drive and all it’s features for years, then one day I switch to Mercedes and decide to tell everyone why BMW now sucks. I get it. iPhone, well, I guess you could say it’s simplicity is it’s strength as well as its downfall, esp in comparison to many competitors today. Apple does need to make changes because all the rest are advancing in leaps and bounds! I’ve subscribed btw! 😉

[@metallicaguy123]

I’m in the same boat as you right now. I’m actually an iPhone 14 pro max user and tempted to try the s23 ultra. I saw it in person today and looked interesting

I switched for 8 days lol. The S23 ultra is a beast. Samsung did a great job. But I am to involved with Apple lol and went back to my 13 Pro Max. But I am no fan boy. I was Android before I converted to Apple. Whoever gets the Ultra is getting a great phone indeed. I found myself liking the S pen at first. After a couple of days I forgot it was in the phone.

Great review. Where did you find that wallpaper?

[@RKCorinth]

The only thing I was android would implement is the "tap to scroll to top" feature that the iphone has. It's really nice to be able to just tap right below the notch to auto-scroll to the top. Other than that, this phone is absolutely crushing everything iphone. Awesome video brother.

[@cimvictimlip1986]

You absolutely nailed this one. Great video!

[@j85grim4]

I switched from iPhone X after being a lifelong iPhone user to Android and have not regretted it once. My only regret is not doing it sooner. For me, it was the buttons going away that was the final nail in the coffin. I can't do the gestures with my fat sausage fingers, I need the home screen buttons. But once I realized how much more customizable, feature rich and snappy the Android os is vs ios I regretted ever going with Apple in the first place.

[@ibrasowe]

This is great! Your videos are so nice to watch. Keep it up!

[@MiguelConcha972]

I just got the s23 ultra... And... For the first 2 days... I "put it to charge".. Not realizing that the charger wasn't plugged in!! I didn't realize until the third day mid day that my phone was at 30% and I couldn't figure out why. When I got home, at night I went to put it to charge and I realized the block wasn't plugged in!! That's when I realized that battery and optimization is fantastic!!!

I've owned 2 iPhones and while I like my Mac, it's Galaxy for me. Looking to upgrade to the S23+ (prefer the slightly smaller form factor and don't need the pen). Awesome stuff

You can bring the upper menu down from any part of the screen of you swipe down from the home screen. You don't need to go all the way up to do it. I see in your video you do it with both hands because you need to go all the way up. Try it.

[@lemayfernandez1815]

[@Effingslackin]

I do miss having an android. Making all kinds of tweaks to the home screen, fonts, etc really made it feel like it was for me. Apples hold on what it can do is really hurting it. Jail breaking has made it so much better but now that’s nonexistent unless you have an old one.

[@limporgyuk]

Great video, my first and last iPhone was the 3GS. One you go android, you don't go back. My daughter has an iPhone and its so infuriating to use, the notifications and settings are a right mess and the customisation is laughable

[@treviancalhoun7693]

Same that was my last iphone but just switched over to the 14 pro max a couple days ago. Still have my Note 20 Ultra as the S23 isn't a big enough upgrade. Only big difference is the battery

[@mrgarrett319ify]

Right now I’m still using the iPhone 12 Pro Max and it hasn’t done me wrong, but when I look at how much more I can do with the S23Ultra…might just have to make that switch. My issue is I have all things Apple (watch, iPad and iPhone) and it’s hard breaking away from that ecosystem…let’s see if Samsung can bring me over.

[@anthonywall1228]

I'm still using the 11 Pro Max and still love it. I do have an Note 9 as well. I was sucked into to getting it after watching a few videos of all the features, and thought how much more I could do with it. Well my daily driver is still the iPhone. Once you switch you'll notice that you're doing the same old thing, video calls, text messaging, emails, surfing the net, pictures and making phone calls. Which iPhone is better at in my opinion.

[@thesoulfoodministries]

One major feature nobody is talking about is Guest mode on android. That feature is neat!

[@NGreedia]

Never used multitasking much on Android despite all my phones being Android until I got the 13 pro max so it's a moot point. The only time I multitask is when i'm using a desktop and dual monitors. Improved battery life is the one thing that has got me interested again in Android though. Either o/s has served my use case perfectly fine.

[@test-xn3lm]

Same here I don’t use multitasking. I really hate apples monopoly but I have a taf time to switch. Apple notes anonymously signing app for apps and Apple Pay to just mention a few. It’s a boring phone but it’s solid.

[@petergilbert144]

One handed mode sucks on Apple as well. It just crops the bottom out so you lose that part of the screen and you still have to reach to the other side instead of dilating the whole thing into a smaller size that you can drag around and drag the corners to make it the perfect size for your thumb to reach the whole thing, then tap outside of it when done instead of Apple forcing you to constantly re-engage every time you tap on something.

Picked up my 23ultra today. Upgraded from a 21 ultra. I honestly was going to hold off but they gave me a promo discount towards a galaxy tab s8+ where I only paid 375 for the tab! So upgrade I did and there's definitely a difference from the 21 to the 23

[@byrongaray869]

I´ve been an android user since the Note 2, Nexus 4, Note 3, S8, etc...had a bad experience with the S20 Ultra, screen broke, bought an S20 Plus, screen broke the same way even with a case on it and both cameras over heated after several minutes. So i bought a used iPhone 8 Plus after loosing money on those two, sold it for the same price i bought it, then i bought a iPhone11, its not even a Max, but it just works great every day! So i bought a 14 Pro Max. Main reasons: resell value is crazy in my country, and i think its fair to say the iPhone has finally caught up with Android phones, it does 90% of what Android phones used to have as advantages before (superb batt, 120hz display, great cameras, iOS is way better than before, wireless charging, etc...and last, i have a Macbook M1 which has been my best laptop purchase as well and they work well together. (saddly, swipe back gesture is a real struggle on iPhones)

Been on Samsung flagships since the S8+ and got every ultra phone And this is the first time ever that I actually feel like a Samsung Galaxy phone actually deserves and earned the ultra monicker, this phone has literally no downsides for me, at all the chip doesn't heat up to a concerning degree after playing apex legends mobile or CODM for more than 5 hours straight (yes I know what grass feels like leave me alone) on maximum graphics with no noticable throttling of any kind and I get left with 30% battery after all that crap This is genuinely the ultimate flagship and I believe it'll stay relevant even 4 years later.

[@Relax-il7zn]

Ngl as a diehard Android nerd for the past 11 years, I switched to iPhone 14 Max and love it. I literally never used multitasking or s pen. Most of the features on android I never used. And iPhone just feels so much more premium and smooth. Apps feel better and the haptics feel better too. I always had the top 1-2 flagship Android, but even the nicest ones (HTC) didn't feel near as premium as the iPhone. The apple watch feels so much better than the galaxy watches too. I couldn't stand android watches. The ecosystem on iphone is incredible as well. Being able to send full quality video/live pictures instantly over wifi or airdropping anything instantly feels better than any file transferring I've used on android. Just saying if you're an Android stan like I was for a long time, give iPhone a try. The OS feels so nice and fresh when you're used to android.

[@seapanda-117]

I tried the all Apple experiment. I'll keep my MacBook. It's absolutely best in class, especially with the M1 & M2 chips. iPhone 14 Pro Max is honestly not even as good as my old S21 (regular, not even Plus or Ultra). A lot of it has to do with how good the file system is on Samsung phones. As for messaging, all the people that I commonly message use Signal because they're smart. To me the best combo is an S Ultra phone, a MacBook that meets your needs, an iPad mini if you want a tablet, and a Garmin watch if you want a smart watch. Just an opinion, but especially because I host my own cloud on my home server, I don't need iCloud or G-Drive to hold my files together which is nice.
