Thanks for being honest, CJ. You're one of the rare reviewers saying the truth. Yes, you picked the 15 Pro Max as YOUR choice because that really is your choice being a long-time iPhone user. BUT you also gave the honest answer that the S23 Ultra IS the best phone of 2023 considering its overall specs and features. Some people here though misunderstood you hehe. S23 Ultra really is the 2023 smartphone considering a lot of long-time iPhone users switched to it and they overhauled their entire ecosystem (Macs to Windows etc.) which is great. If you want a free and open garden, get out of that wall, so they say...

[@littledrummer3814]

Amazing how S23 Ultra easily beats the 15PM and P8P (overall - some features dominated by the 2) considering it was released in February!!! I'm pretty sure the S24 Ultra will easily beat the 16PM and P9P.

[@abrahamroberts2040]

As one who is in both Samsung and Apple ecosystems - I agree with 15 Pro Max being the phone of the year. The battery life is outstanding, screen is bright and beautiful, and they made very smart decisions with the design. I doubt they will be my favorite next year - especially if Samsung makes the needed improvements on the Fold.

[@krskadave]

I just switched back to my 23Ultra from my 15PM because I don't like how iOS 17 has been a buggy release...seems android isn't. I'm loosing confidence in Apples ability to keep it going without having to send updates out constantly

[@alhassanamos5288]

Bro, help me with a phone eh

[@alhassanamos5288]

It's funny how I watch this videos and can't afford any 😂

[@wheely4405]

Ios 17 is out for a while now , usually whole new os update comes with lots of bugs , one ui 6 is newer than ios17 so ... Really? One ui 6 has less bugs to you What bugs do you have in your iphone?

[@abrahamroberts2040]

This was fun CJ, thanks! ❤

[@sstrafer]

Hey man, I just like how you make videos and I really appreciate the honest reviews. Great job again! Happy holidays!!!

[@CJKnowsTECH]

Thanks I appreciate you. Happy Holidays

[@kevinwiggins140]

I bought a 15 PM switched from Samsung, I love my choice but I’d say the Pixel is the most improved and most interesting phone of the yr, the AI features are really really cool!

[@redtaylorsversion8492]

why you leave samsung?

[@lensandroll]

great review bro but if you have to choose from iPhone 15 pro max and google pixel fold then what's the best pick for you?

[@abrahamroberts2040]

I enjoyed Marques list but I was really waiting on you. ❤️🙌🏽

[@CJKnowsTECH]

Respect

[@abrahamroberts2040]

I came in late with the Apple AirPods Max but I love them so far! I cant wait until they update them. New version will be super fire

[@TheManisShit]

I think its more of because the iphone was just recently released so the honeymoon phase is still there whereas with the s23 ultra, its almost been a year since it was released.

[@brandonsouthard8674]

What launcher you use for your icons?

[@elijahbattles545]

I’m currently trying to decide do I leave Apple and go android? It’s been a while since any phone has peaked my interest and the folds have really made me excited to get a fold. After this video I might just make the switch

[@lesliegraham8478]

Love your video! Love you too!❤

[@blacar3270]

What up CJ? Another great video. While I disagree with no Samsung winners, I'm not totally surprised. U also chose AI over Kobe. As a Mamba fan and a Samsung Knight, I'm gonna chalk all that up to there perhaps being a little something extra in that organic peach green tea 😅😂😅. Happy Holidays and don't forget to show off that 100k plaque

[@CJKnowsTECH]

😂 lol I technically said the S23 Ultra was the best phone and the Z Fold 5 was the "best foldable" but I had to give my personal picks too lol

[@KingTechHD]

Don’t apologize to those people 😂 we KNOW which phone is the best my brother 😉 you made the right choice

[@darkling43]

The only thing I don't like about pixel fold is the vessels, they make it look outdated. And the designs is similar to the Microsoft surface duo

[@alexstruenorth]

I have that z fold 5 in blue and black and i love the Matt black edges 🎉

[@abrahamroberts2040]

I feel like the most underrated tech for the year are the Sony xm5 earbuds. The noise cancellation on those are unbelievable - the best I've ever experienced and even beat the over the ear headphones from Sony, Bose and Apple.

[@CJKnowsTECH]

Right, I forgot to add those in here...

[@abrahamroberts2040]

Ok, you shocked me with the Pixel Fold. Let me make some coffee before I finish this. LOL

[@CJKnowsTECH]

😭

[@murtazachaudhary3339]

Very nice video

[@aubinbaldonado]

9:59 you just want All the rant 😅😅. Awesome video, Thanks

[@frostypowermike]

Pixel Fold is my top pick.

[@SlowDRV]

That apple watch band looks great on the ultra

[@philliphaynes6775]

Hands down Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

[@jamiehunter3567]

Hahaha c.j your like the martin lawrence of youtube tech world 😄

[@deckhead33]

You made the right choice: iPhone 15 pro max IS phone of the year, hands down 😊

[@CoachD77]

Since the 15 PM was your choice for 2023, has there ever been a Samsung or Google phone that you feel was better than the iPhone version, for that year?

[@CJKnowsTECH]

Oh yeah the Galaxy Note 10 plus, and more to be real I “technically” said the S23 Ultra is phone of the year in general but I had to give my personal choices

[@weekendwarrior8179]

Hey, at least you picked one. KZbin creators will always give it to the iPhone because it’s what they use to make their content. But Samsung is it’s on way with video creation software.

[@michaelnadin]

for me pixels are honest about what it is, Peace

[@morm2173]

MY 2023 list : 1. Huawei mate x5 foldable 1 tb simply brilliant no limitations 2. My glorious incredible Samsung s23 ultra 3. ONE PLUS OPEN 4. XIAOMI MIX FOLD 3 5. PIXEL 8 PRO 6. Iphone 15 pro max 1 tb Too many limitations with the iphone . I started with the iphone Years ago . I first transitioned with the samsung s10 plus and then now my s23 Ultra and next year z fold 6. The s pen gestures and utilization of camera from a distance , multi tasking, 10 x zoom , samsung dex and flow , Nintendo emulators of super smash bros ans Mario oddyseey, astrophotography of constellations, better photo editing, customization of theme and keyboard, copy and paste clipboard, better AI capabilities, things like micro sd card, music ring tone customization, how you can download anything from anywhere at anytime , foldable innovation etc . Thats why Samsung , Huawei, Xiaomi and Google Pixel 8 pro are superior to the iPhone. The iPhone is based on simplicity which is good for infants and the elderly but for me IOS is too boring and ill never find an e sim by force to go back to it.

[@gtuz9919]

It's okay Cj. Even as a Samsung fan, I respect your decision. We ain't coming after you with our swords 😂

[@CJKnowsTECH]

😂😂😂

[@GhostDog54]

Best phone is the phone you like the most. Apple heads gonna always select apple and Android peeps will always rock top Android

[@ALLUK633]

Best phone IPhone 15 pro max and Pixel 8 pro

[@Omar-1of1]

Hello 24 Ultra 🎉 darkness my old friend 😈

[@ALLUK633]

@@Omar-1of1 I have both 24 and 23 ultra and 24 ultra has some issues with signal , and I like more 23 ultra 👌 also j like my iPhone 15 pro max

[@katinasoutherland7693]

This is the 1st time ive agreed with each winner 🏆 Thanks CJ

[@emailpr]

Dude. Relax. You don't need to defend your choices and decisions to this extent to the public.

[@sidehustlers336]

Sony Xperia 1V

[@SuperYankeechick]

The only thing I hate about the IPad mini, terrible screen for the price!

[@m.b.557]

I feel like there is so much wasted space on my ipad mini. Its like they stretched out the iphones screen without the ability to add more icons and widgets on it. Plus the battery life could be a little better. The compactness though is unmatched.

[@2aadam232]

So you you have the best and newest tech in front of you and you choose the up chipped 2006? Wack lol

[@bad65dad]

Pixel Fold the best all around features and new software Android 14 beta QR2 killer.

Samsung s23 ultra is definitely phone of the year ,just think everything the ultra offer 😂 if iPhone do half of the things that Samsung offer we will not hear the end of it😅 just a few Dex S pen Display Battery is equal and charged faster Customization Speed Great camera and video SIM CARD🔥 Playing games experience And on and on !! S23 ultra p4p all around best 🐐

[@robertmangum1218]

Another apple fan boy, Xiaomi 13 ultra beats them all, only weakness is no active stylus
