15 been out 2 months not a few months. 23 Ultra been out a lot longer. 24 Ultra about to drop in January I’ve been reading in tech articles. Those two maybe in April would be a better comparison.
Personally I prefer a Cryptophone for $350 or even better a Librem as they’re much more secure and the software isn’t made to glitch the device so you are forced to buy a new one ...🤪 But I get it that you make money as an “Affiliate” if people click on your link & probably even more if they actually purchase right ? are the phones you have links for certified refurbished or just “renewed” ? I would highly recommend buying only certified refurbished otherwise you could be out money and a reliable device !
I have switched from an iPhone 14 Pro Max to a S23 Ultra months back and... I don't regret it. I do miss using the iPhone but I needed that new experience
You will be back to iPhone soon. It aways feel good to switch from iPhone to the latest android then after 2 to 4 weeks. It happened to me countless time. I switched to S10+, Note 10, S21 Ultra and the Fold 3. I always find myself grabbing my iPhone back after 2 weeks.
@@esoghumedominic13 android isn’t magic boy. It’s not like yall use your phones to send yourself in the moon or something. The self absorbed android fanboys make me laugh with their comments. I used android, the best one in the market and it all hype.
I like both. Apple has a comfortable, simplistic UI and a easy to use UE. Android is when i get sick of apple and it seems to boring. I always seem to go back and forth. But, with that said, this is the longest ive gone without an iPhone, 1 year now. I have the s23 ultra, and the pixel 7 pro. But, the pad is the best media device and same with the Apple Watch. IMO
Using the S23 Ultra since launch. I keep on switching between Apple & Samsung. The last iPhone I used was 13 Pro Max whereas I have literally used all the Samsung Note series so far. IMO, if you don't have any smartwatch, iPad, Mac or Windows PC, I think S23 Ultra will be a better choice. When I forgot to carry my Mac, I simply connected my phone to the desktop using Wireless Dex and it worked perfectly. S23 Ultra is a almost a perfect phone with actual pro usage compared to the iPhone. Don't want to go in details but the S23 Ultra can do 90% of the thing iPhone 15 Pro Max can whereas the Iphone 15 Pro max can do almost 70% of the things S23 Ultra can. As simple as that.
One thing you did not mention about S23U and photography is that it supports full manual controls with RAW mode. It also offers digital ND, meaning you can simulate the light blocking aspects of aperture. It's the first phone I've seen to finally complete the shutter speed, aperture and ISO triangle. ND cannot affect bokeh though, but adjusting background blur is easy nowadays, so it's not a huge deal. Before I got the phone, I thought s-pen would be a gimmick. But honestly, it makes esiting in Lightroom so much better than with fingertips. Dex is also great for editing. It's truly photography enthustiasts dream device.
I got myself an s23 as a photographer I was like oh nice pro mode right? No more bad white balance! Oh it throws so much green on the pic and we do not have a hue control on this phone. My hopes as a photographer were shattered tbh.
I’m coming back to some of these videos to share my experience with both these phones and why I chose one over the other. Maybe it will help someone else make their decision. I originally got the s23 ultra and ended up returning it for the 15 pro max. Technically I believe the s23 ultra is the more tech advanced phone and can do more but the iPhone feels more premium in hand and is more enjoyable to use in day to day tasks. The excitement of the s23 wore out quickly and it just felt like any other android phone. On the other hand the iPhone still impressed me with how premium it feels every time I pull it out of my pocket. Even just how the touch screen feels when you’re swiping around the Home Screen. I don’t know what it is but it just feels like a higher quality product. If you’re a heavy tech user and will actually use things like dex then you may want to go with the s23 but if you just use your phone to make calls, watch RUclips, scroll social media and connect with friends then I think the iPhone is the better experience. The s23 ultra is an absolute beast and will do all the things you want it to do but for me I didn’t use even half of the things it could do and it just didn’t feel as good doing the normal everyday things as the iPhone. I honestly believe most average people will enjoy using the iPhone over the ultra but if you will use all the features like dex I completely understand the appeal in the s23. Also I have not had any of the issues people are reporting about the 15. The s23 ultra is cooler during charging but my iPhone doesn’t get overly hot. I think the battery is better on the iPhone as well. On the ultra it seemed like every time I looked at my battery percentage it had ticked down another percent. My iPhone seems to just sip battery in comparison. I know that was a bit of a ramble but it’s early and I’m tired so forgive me.
From S23U to mediocre S14 v2 (ppssstt! It's the 14 pro max, but with a Ti frame and no brace on the back to fully protect the back glass, and camera zoom is just a cropped image) ? Wow! What a downgrade.
@@Chris._P._Baconyeah apart from the A17 being more powerful than the SD8 gen 2, the cameras being slightly better, materials feeling more premium, better overall app optimisation. there's literally nothing the iPhone is worse than a flagship android.
So you basically want to feel premium in your hand. Did you remember when huawei in market both samsung and iphone were so competitive for each after what happen to huawei well here we all known both company seems to be more lazy. I still have thinking that apple is the main culprit behind for what happen to huawei
I have an iPhone now and one of the reasons I am considering switching is simply making phone calls. The UI for iPhone calls is really getting on my nerves. The tiny little button it creates in the corner of your screen is almost impossible to select. So switching to apps during a call or putting a caller on hold to pick up another is so incredibly frustrating. Sometimes I just hang up and call back individually to avoid it. The 'Silence' button on the side is another feature I genuinely dislike. I've missed so many phonecalls because it accidentally switches while in my pocket. I am actually thinking of migrating to Android simply because the most core functionalities of a iPhone are poorly designed in UI/interface. I plan on keeping my MBP and iPad but the simple issues of iPhone seem kind of inexcusable considering how long its been around. I love it otherwise but I gotta be able to make calls haha.
Definitely love the s23 ultra. I do still photos more than video and love the spen. Stability, performance and battery have been excellent. Also appreciate split screen and multitasking in general. And then there's the clipboard and the better file system. I might slightly prefer the Apple Watch and the design of the iPhone but I also enjoy my galaxy watch 4.
What fanbase rivalry is the most immature? a) Samsung vs Apple b) Playstation vs Xbox c) Messi vs CR7 What pair of fanbases is less aware of the concepts of "Taste" and "Preferences"?
I have switched from an iPhone 14 Pro Max to a S23 Ultra months back and... I don't regret it. I do miss using the iPhone but I needed that new experience
I had the S23 ultra, which is a beast of a phone. But I now have the iPhone 15 pro max and that is also a beast of a phone. You can't go wrong with either device. The 2 best phones this year. iOS is very good, the only difference is that with Android you can make more settings and with the Samsung I can take a long screenshot anywhere, with the iPhone you have to go into safari, but I'm already used to it but that can be even better. Video cameras are good for both, but the iPhone is really the ruler in video cameras. Battery life is both very good, the iPhone just a little bit better. The software works crazy well for both ;). I wish I had enough money to keep both ;).
Just from my stand point. I do not think having a lighter phone is a big issue with anyone. Giving the fact that your hands get use to the phone it self. I think I'll stay on the side with customization and freedom. 😊
I just bought my s23 ultra. Been using ip14pm and has been an iphone user but when i switched to s23 ultra i def can say d cam is a pro compared to my 14pm.
I just got my S23 ultra for $400 off brand new and unlocked. Switching from my Pixel 6 pro. I will miss my Pixel but the camera is so scratched, when I take a picture, the blacks have a TON of noise. It's bad. I've been on the Android beta program for several years but it's time to give Samsung another try. It helps that Samsung has Android 14 now too.
I have the iPhone 15 Pro and Samsung S23U. Both are great in their way. However, I switch depending on what I am doing. But if I had to choose one, it would be the S23U.
For 4 years i tried keeping both ecosystems till i later realised that the other platform I was only keeping it out of elitism rather than functionality. Like literally most of the time if I am using the phone, it was the galaxy. Pushed banking apps, GPS, main phone thing on the iPhone .. Still used the galaxy more than i could the other. This year I resolved let me keep the s23u only. I feel happier. Got tempted with the 15 and preordered the 15 pro. Returned it after 2 weeks. Lets see what they bring with the 16.
@@ad5772may as well wait a few years iPhones don’t improve much year by year anymore, I don’t know what the one of the largest companies in the world do all year to give such minimal disappointing upgrades year after year, I miss Steve jobs
I like simplicity. The things that benefited me was on iPhone. Android is good but don’t fit what I like. I’m happy with my 15 Pro Max. Just got it yesterday.
iPhone user since March 2022 and Android user since forever😅. I don’t really have issues with my iPhone. It works well, smooth, ProMotion screen, aesthetic of emojis is fine, speakers are amazing and video quality is great but i would choose S23 Ultra if i had to. I will stick to my iPhone and my other Android smartphone because i want to use my iPhone on a long term. I don’t use any other Apple device and don’t use iMessage ( i live in Europe ), so ecosystem is not a thing for me: i’m used to use devices ( 📱➕ 🎧➕ 💻 ) from different brands, no brand loyalty. I love using both iPhone and Android smartphone everyday.
I can't believe this topic is still on the table when people are waiting for the S24. It's amazing how the S23 Ultra scooped The 2023 Phone of The Year on MrWhoseTheBoss then gave the iPhone 15 Pro Max a seat next to the Boss Phone of 2023. That Dex Tech & Stylus Pen annihilates every phone on the planet. I'm an avid Xiaomi user and i salute all the premium brands iPhone , Huawei,Vivo, Sony, Moto, OnePlus & ZenFone. I can't wait to upgrade to the Redmi 13 Pro soon as stock arrives. That underdog company is serious on delivering premium tech at low price.
Ios is the most buggy os since ios 16, experienced the worst battery life, and overall experience. Switch my 13 pro max for a samsung and I am very happy
Yes pls share which apps work better on ios ! I am thinking of switching to the new s24 ultra when it comes out from an iphone 11 but I don’t want my apps to be disrupted 😭
I like the openness of Samsung. I just simply think that it's easier to leave the Samsung ecosystem and go to Apple then it is to leave Apple and go anywhere else.😊
Agreed. Apple does a good job of keeping people for that exact reason. I used to switch between both. But now I’m older and I also have more children it’s hard for me to leave Apple. My entire family is on Apple. I use their family plan. Their iCloud. Their tracking devices the whole 9. Switching is almost impossible at this point without disrupting the whole families day to day lives.
A child can learn an iPhone in minutes. It will take you a long time to learn everything a S22 or S23 Ultra will do. I'm still learning everything my S22 Ultra can do & it's almost 2024! It just keeps surprising me. The OS is So Smooth Also. The days of "Lag" & "Crashing" are long gone.
The s23 ultra is far superior with the s pen gestures and utilization when my fingers get tired and for photos from a distance , Samsung members , Samsung health , Samsung flow , Dex , Samsung TV , wireless projection , 10 x zoom , better thermal management, faster charging customizable keyboard between samsung keyboard and gboard simultaneously, good lock, emulator gaming way beyond the iPhone 15 pro expensive gaming , superior multi tasking with exclusive edge panel up to 3 apps at a time , superior in screen fingerprint scanner etc . My s23 ultra is the phone champion on 2023 Come on the iPhone can't even multi task and honestly apple is based on simplicity and limitation and it should stay that way. Many features apple introduced like programmable side key and USB C Samsung we had that in 2019 and we've had for years . People saying iOS is better is nonsense and preposterous. Samsung is the king of smartphones and the s23 ultra is the champ barely a comparison
switched from iP13PM (my first flagship after using $300-500 phones), to S23U this year. Man, Androids are just superior ngl. iOS is just too limiting, no proper notification categorisation, no T9 dialing, and fking NO BACK GESTURE. every app has a different way to go back, like wtf ? Hopefully iOS gets better now thay DU has forced them to allow sideloading. would definitely try iP16/17 that is if the sideloading is allowed properly just like Androids and not just for name sake. edit: and this was also my first Samsung device, so the Windows-Samsung ecosystem, GoodLock, etc I was experiencing first time. Not to mention Apple Pay doesn’t work in my country, so GPay and Samsung Wallet, were just another top notch experience. Overall I just don't think I will go back to iOS ever for my primary device, maybe will get it to see what is happening on that end, so we can force Samsung/Google to bring those better features. Like I also have a Pixel and a Xiaomi ROOTED phone, just for the experience of them. ngl Rooting is still more privacy friendly, and I wish the stuff I can do with rooting will eventually come to Android natively. and thus for similar experience, I might use iPhones as secondary device, but after S23U, my primary device for now is definitely Samsung.
Hey there! Thanks for sharing this comparison video. I'm interested in learning more about the Samsung S23 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Could you please provide some key points or features that were discussed in the video? It would help me make a more informed decision. Thanks!
AT&T LGK10, my first smartphone,great phone,...but when on an app,shuts down repeatedly,other than that,works fine....considering going with a flagship...iPhone 15 pro max or samsung galaxy S23 Ultra...my concern is transfering All Data...can i transfer All Data to either Phone?...your take?...recommend?
Unpopular Opinion : buy used S23 Ultra right now and next February, trade in with S24 Ultra. If you're lucky, might as well get freebies and huge discount. Plus, you cant go any wrong with AI nowadays.
Outside the US, trade-ins are poor compared to the US. So, I would not recommend in Europe. But with the S24U losing the 10X zoom, some people may want to get the S23U instead?
Could you please tell me how my Partner’s phone, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra can receive a group text message sent from my iPhone 13 Pro? I thought Samsung was fixing that huge problem earlier this year. He can't get group family text messages. Many thanks in anticipation of a happy and positive reply asap.
@6monthslater sir I m confused which should I buy, I m a camera n music lover can you plz suggest me the better one.... In many videos iphone15 pro n max are showing heating issues. So plz clear this
This is Easy the S23 Ultra is the best phone in the last 10 years and the S24 ultra is gonna be even better leaving every single phone brand in the dust facts on facts on facst.
I just picked up the iphone 15 pro max coming from samsung A71 5g.. looking at the s23 utltra the support and trade in value was the deciding factor for me. Samsung here is aus, doesnt compare wuth sofware updates so short, to expansive.
I had both but in the end I kept my 15 Pro Max and traded the S23 Ultra for the OnePlus Open. Both superb phones but iPhone just edged out with how polished the apps and experiences were.
@@exarchoskanelis84 I just got it today, so far it's great, it's barely heavier than my 15 Pro Max and snappy response. The screen looks amazing and the outer screen is a perfect size. If you do buy it, don't go for the faster delivery because you won't get it on the right date unfortunately, so don't waste the money (even tho they'll refund you). It came about five days later than expected.
Yup. For me, my microwave, oven, washing machine (both washer and dryer) are all samsung, but personally, I switched to 15 pro max. Better quality and worth the price.
Great review. Thank you. My gut tells me to go with the S23 Ultra. I like the quality of the apple devices, the feel, look and speed, but just too many limitations. Been an android user from since i owned my first smartphone. I can't seem to make a decision though whether to buy an iPhone 15 pro max or S23 ultra
@@rhaibi12 Agreed. Don't buy the S23 until S24 comes out. Let's see what Samsung brings to the table! Also, the price of S23 will fall in January 2024 as it's superseded by a newer model!
@@levipb1403 I think is funny that all my friends who think they know a lot of tech have a Samsung. The others who work in the IT and actually know a lot of tech all have an iPhone
The problem is that, Apple introduced iMessage before RCS, because of that encryption. Of course they gonna use it as a marketing strategy. I would too
I had 15 Pro Max, sold it for the Pixel 8 Pro, buying S24 Ultra this week! Found iPhone good but boring, camera on 8 Pro better but dark pics need to edit all, so gonna try Samsung which I haven't done since the early note days! If camera on S24 Ultra isn't as good as Pixel, I'll return and keep pixel! Cheers... ❤
Switched from Note 20 Ultra to iphone 15 pro max lol. The simplicity yet efficiency of iPhone in almost every aspect makes samsung look like a kids phone, it was such a change personally, I might not go back to android at all. All these Samsung bells and whistles will be forgotten by the first month of you using them.
Since im planning to getting the 2 15 not pro max. I currently have a samsung phone and am deciding to switch since the 15 has a not very expensive price comapre the s23 ultra. And also all my family were iphone until us kids we start woth android and then switch to iphone. But i recomend one thing if u had an iphone dont switch to another phone that is not iphone and vise versa
Samsung objectively makes a better standalone product - if you were just buying a phone. They give you the full potential capabilities of the device in case you only have the one Samsung device. Apple make a solid device, but they will purposely keep features from it, because "you would get a better experience if you bought (other Apple device)". For example, Samsung sell tablets and computers, but they will happily sell you a foldable and load the phone with DeX capabilities. In that instance, the tablet or PC would be better and you can buy those if you wish, but they will give you enough to use your foldable to its fullest if you cannot get the others. Apple will purposefully avoid touch screens and tablet like experiences on Mac, because they would much rather you have "a proper tablet experience" with iPad. Given how much macOS has started sharing with iPadOS, they could easily make a touch friendly Mac. They choose not to. It's not your choice, it's theirs. Apple is a power through synergy company.
That’s actually fact that Samsung makes an all-around better device. It’s just an Apple has an ecosystem that makes iPhones more competitive. But you cannot say the iPhones are singularly better because it needs an ecosystem to support it. Arguably the S 23 ultra is its own ecosystem. you may not like that factual perspective but you need to just deal with it😉
Considering how much the S23 Ultra packs in terms of features I see it as the better device, iOS is still lacking in features, also some basic stuff like gallery is not well sorted like on the galaxy, also the customization is very lacking, i mean changing the font and text size is so basic compared to what can you do on the S23.
@@soberanisfam1323 it’s not really something I’m doing every day modifying my home screen or the various other features. The only thing that android has over iOS is sideloading apps at this point.
So glad I switched from s23 ultra to the iphone 15 pro max. no more being part of the toxic android fanbase. android fans bash on apple for no reason. well actually to make themselves feel good. haha
I use both for a year now. I feel I need to be gentle with I but abusive to S. Sam is capable with multitasking but splitting personal vs work profile is pain in the arse e.g., can't take screenshots on MS TEAMS and send it on Whatsapp. Android Auto is erratic vs Carplay works 100%. Purely on feel wise, iPhone still has the smooth fluid slide. So I keep Sammy for RUclips and MS Office but carry iPhone for quick task like ewallet, epay, the face biometric is superb and fast. Batt stamina they are about the same with some tuning on settings. Sammy has options for joy of typing now with Grammarly it's ease of replying texts esp for older folks. iPhone works well with Google and Microsoft apps. As for photo capabilities, iPhone takes true light or dark skin tone but my brown skin friends prefer Sammy for giving a lighter skin tone. Daily use both phones don't differ except multitasking and network where Samsung has stronger signal. Now Sammy has AI and prompts even their alarm clock is customisable which iPhone users will learn to appreciate when they convert. And in my country, we need 2 physical SIMs 😂 Sammy needs to work on biometrics. It's clumsy. Lastly, we love phones with high aesthetic so iPhone is ahead 😅 iPhone 16 will out in a few days so I'm wondering if it's better to keep or upgrade to a smaller 6.3". Thanks for reading 😊
I think the iphone 15 as whole is much better than S23 ultra thats because it has such a long life. My dad has an ihpine 7 plus that he got when it first came out at it is good as brand new phone and same for my mom. But the samsungs as whole not strong life it becomes bad after years 😕.
Apple is using low grade battery for 15PM, reports suggest it can only handle around 500 cycles. So I would not count for longetivity on the latest model. 😅
@@andyH_England And pay additional 200€ for the replacement? Great. I don't know about guarantees, but that does not mean much. 1000 cycles is common for good quality batteries. It's absurd iPhone costs an arm an leg, but they have went with low quality components for the battery.
@@PhazonBlaxor The battery replacement is up to £100 in the UK. Less for many and older versions. For that, you get a warranty from Apple and maintain water resistance. For reference, it is £80 for an authorised S23U battery replacement, so there is only a slight difference.
@@andyH_England Not that cheap here in Finland, and it's a hassle to wait for the replacement and you lose data during the process (in most cases, hard to find services where the phone does not get wiped). I'd rather just have good quality battery to begin with.
My brothers s10e hand me down has slowed down tremendously and I thought it was time for an upgrade. Ordered it and im getting it on the 1st of december, hope this phone lives up to the hype
S23 ultra was a better phone but it kept missing shots of my kids because of slow shutter speeds (not shutter lag). So went back to the 14 pro max, and it works for me
Sold my 14 pro and apple watch ultra and iPad pro m2 and bought s23 ultra galaxy watch 5 pro and galaxy tab s9 plus now I love it all I still miss my apple watch ultra
@bigdrews4360 to be honest I absolutely love my s23 ultra its been so good to me and I love the galaxy watch 5 pro but I miss my apple watch ultra so bad so I'm still debating
Just Came from the 13 pro max, i really do prefer Samsungs UI. The phone i got from samsung is really good. Im glad i switched from apple aswell fr. I just like how much more i can do
I have an iphone 14 PM and I want to keep it for a while. But everytime I see a Galaxy S23 Ultra in a store I wish I could try it for a week or sth. Just to know how modern Samsung phones feel.
I have a samsung phone and a fridge and a samsung TV. So, kids keep the fridge door open for too long, I get the notification on my Samsung phone. I find this feature very useful.
Iv been with apple since iphone 4 - the 14 pro max now., upgrading each year. I am really bored. The galaxy S23U is the first android that I really like. After the S24U is announced next month I am upgrading to it. I’m leaving Apple.
@6 Months Later Your credibility is lost. You "comparison" clowns almost always hedge your bets just enough to stay in the good graces of both brands in order to continue to get free merch while at the same time showing your true bias by sliding in misinformation. Pretty much every advantage you tried to stealthily give to Apple, Android/Samsung/Google does equally as well, or surpasses. (Google Wallet literally has security options equal to Apple, and integration between watch tablet and phone is just smooth), another example is when you CORRECTLY gave the OS acknowledgement for being more customizable, but in your closing arguments you stumbled all over yourself in order not to declare a "winner", which is what this post CLAIMED you would do.....Wow.....
You are seemingly anti-Apple and a hardcore Samsung fan, so you may need to watch videos on Samsung-affiliated channels that will make love to the S23U and hate on Apple.
@@andyH_England I'm not anti-ANYTHING, and my previous comment explains all my points. You're welcome to re-read if you can muster through brain cells to do so.....
After spending a little over a year with an iPhone, and experiencing all the frustrations and limitations this phone can do? I CANNOT WAIT TO SWITCH BACK TO ANDROID. With Android I have no need to buy storage, I can transfer all my photos to a PC and then a flash drive WITHOUTH LOOSING ANY QUALITY or size of the photo like I experience with this iPhone. Also, photo quality OVERALL Samsung's is 2nd to NONE, with my iPhone night pictures are just HORRIBLE, plain and simple. Whatsapp works so much better on Android, more customizable and easier to use.........and with each day that goes by? I feel more incompetent using an iPhone, I cannot wait to get a SAMSUNG GALAXY 24 ULTRA. and trade this iPhone and never look back again.
I am the other way round. Bought the S23U because of the hype, and as good as it is, it is not as great as Samsung fans convince themselves. I now use a Pixel 8 Pro and much happier, and my other phone, as always, is an iPhone, the 15PM currently.
Just another samsang fanboy trying hard to hate on apple. Straight up you will still get the most trade im value with the iphone compared to samsang which will drop its value more than 50% after a month ROFL😌🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I switched to IOS for the first time ever, I’m coming from Samsung which I’ve always used for years. The 15 pro max is probably the best phone I’ve ever had, especially in terms of battery life. I don’t regret the switch one bit.
I went from Android to Apple. One thing about me, I am not brand loyal. I am a simple man. I dont really customize my phone. I dont reverse charge anything. I don’t need a crazy insane camera either my Samsung Galaxy s6 was dying on me and I needed a new phone so I said fuck it and bought an iPhone 13 pro max. People complain that I should have stayed android but honestly I don’t care. When my iPhone dies I might get a new iPhone or go back to Samsung it doesnt matter to me. Which ever one is the cheapest between the two I guess 🤷♂️
Samsung oneUI gives many.many features to me, everything that i need to do, it seems there's always something on samsungs that allows me to do it im never left feeling why cant it do this, if only it would do that etc etc like I am with many many phones manufacturers ive tried !!! iPhones no longer apeal to me like they did when they were all about metal and glass etc. Most phones today are not cheap plastic with loose battery backs and warped plastic screens .... That made the iphone stand out after many many Nokia phones through the 2000 years The iPhone really does have good video though.... Resale value of iPhones are better witch is a bummer 😕 But I moved to Samsung after the iphone 5 maybe iPhones are different now but I'm not prepared to go back to try 😅
I use a Samsung 23U and Android in general because I don't want all the iMessage chat/group chat spam. I feel being on SMS/RCS causes people to only contact me if it is necessary. #Greenbubble precedence.
Let's be clear, Samsung does make Desktops, but apparently only for the Korean Market. In fact, they have a Desktop which pretty much looks like the imac
I have the s23 ultra and iPhone 15 pro max, my wife loves iPhone, especially the 15pro max from being a long time android user. I can’t decide, I so like Samsung due the 15 pro max feels tiny in my hands compared to the S23 ultra.
My fave feature of the 15 Pros has to be the lighter titanium frame. My kids bought the mid year green 13 Pro, and l've always disliked the weight of their phone. Having held the new Pro phones in my local Apple Store, colour me impressed. I'll definitely be upgrading from my XS to a 15 Pro next year, ... just haven't decided which one. I'll also be using a MagSafe grip and bumper. I want to show off whatever colour I end up getting - no full cases for me. Thanks as always for the content.
Whats there to show off its the same phone as year after year its not like your showing off a foldable I whipped out my fold and iphone user said I'm a shame to even whip out my iphone nothing new but a big hole in the screen
Im getting 830 bucks off of all iphone 15, but ive always wanted the ultra and im getting 600 off of all s23 phones, but if i get buds and a watch with eitjer phone it comes out to 900, so idk lol
Samsung is my choice. I am still retaining the old model Note 20+ Ultra because it has an SD card slot. You can now buy one for a mere £25 for 512Gb. 512 on the phone and 512 on the card = 1Tb. Also, the screen mirror and Dex to PC is a joy. Plug and play by dragging MP3 etc from PC to Android is quick! None of these iTunes complications! SPen is a joy when you snapshot an image of say an address that someone sent you. You can convert it to OCR and paste it to Google Maps in one sweep! I think the iPhone is a bit restrictive but I give credit to their camera module. Let's hope S24 can fix that in 2024 and move up! Seasonal regards Karim

15 been out 2 months not a few months. 23 Ultra been out a lot longer. 24 Ultra about to drop in January I’ve been reading in tech articles. Those two maybe in April would be a better comparison.
Personally I prefer a Cryptophone for $350 or even better a Librem as they’re much more secure and the software isn’t made to glitch the device so you are forced to buy a new one ...🤪 But I get it that you make money as an “Affiliate” if people click on your link & probably even more if they actually purchase right ? are the phones you have links for certified refurbished or just “renewed” ? I would highly recommend buying only certified refurbished otherwise you could be out money and a reliable device !
I have switched from an iPhone 14 Pro Max to a S23 Ultra months back and... I don't regret it. I do miss using the iPhone but I needed that new experience
We will support you by subscribing , viewing and commenting. You're doing a beautiful work., audible and detailed review right here.
I just got my S23 ultra today and I'm very happy switching from iPhone 14
Phone of the year
You will be back to iPhone soon. It aways feel good to switch from iPhone to the latest android then after 2 to 4 weeks. It happened to me countless time. I switched to S10+, Note 10, S21 Ultra and the Fold 3. I always find myself grabbing my iPhone back after 2 weeks.
Iphone users are more of simplicity 😅. Can't use android
@@esoghumedominic13 android isn’t magic boy. It’s not like yall use your phones to send yourself in the moon or something. The self absorbed android fanboys make me laugh with their comments. I used android, the best one in the market and it all hype.
@@shuggfilmzandstudio2354I gotta agree with you on that. It’s been the same cycle with me 😏
I like both. Apple has a comfortable, simplistic UI and a easy to use UE. Android is when i get sick of apple and it seems to boring. I always seem to go back and forth. But, with that said, this is the longest ive gone without an iPhone, 1 year now. I have the s23 ultra, and the pixel 7 pro. But, the pad is the best media device and same with the Apple Watch. IMO
haha u are just like me. i switched to s23 ultra from 14promax but keep my ipad, apple watch and airpod pro. iphone is so boring imo
I love iPad but love android better for phones. I almost bought iPhone14 pro max but after long research I think s23 ultra is the waaay better choice
Have you tried galaxy tab s9? It is better than ipad.
@@babygirl-qc9ekPersonally I think iOS is better on a phone than a tablet.
Using the S23 Ultra since launch. I keep on switching between Apple & Samsung. The last iPhone I used was 13 Pro Max whereas I have literally used all the Samsung Note series so far. IMO, if you don't have any smartwatch, iPad, Mac or Windows PC, I think S23 Ultra will be a better choice. When I forgot to carry my Mac, I simply connected my phone to the desktop using Wireless Dex and it worked perfectly. S23 Ultra is a almost a perfect phone with actual pro usage compared to the iPhone. Don't want to go in details but the S23 Ultra can do 90% of the thing iPhone 15 Pro Max can whereas the Iphone 15 Pro max can do almost 70% of the things S23 Ultra can. As simple as that.
I've had my S23 ultra 3 days before its launch date
But Samsung made worst watch and I want the Ultra on my wirst
One thing you did not mention about S23U and photography is that it supports full manual controls with RAW mode. It also offers digital ND, meaning you can simulate the light blocking aspects of aperture. It's the first phone I've seen to finally complete the shutter speed, aperture and ISO triangle. ND cannot affect bokeh though, but adjusting background blur is easy nowadays, so it's not a huge deal.
Before I got the phone, I thought s-pen would be a gimmick. But honestly, it makes esiting in Lightroom so much better than with fingertips. Dex is also great for editing.
It's truly photography enthustiasts dream device.
I got myself an s23 as a photographer I was like oh nice pro mode right? No more bad white balance! Oh it throws so much green on the pic and we do not have a hue control on this phone. My hopes as a photographer were shattered tbh.
@@vipersrt30 What are you talking about? Just shoot RAW and edit in Lightroom, you can totally adjust hue.
@@vipersrt30you should learn a bit more photography
It's alot he didn't talk about... he want to talk about that weak iphone
All phones have pro modes, or get an app if not.
I’m coming back to some of these videos to share my experience with both these phones and why I chose one over the other. Maybe it will help someone else make their decision. I originally got the s23 ultra and ended up returning it for the 15 pro max. Technically I believe the s23 ultra is the more tech advanced phone and can do more but the iPhone feels more premium in hand and is more enjoyable to use in day to day tasks. The excitement of the s23 wore out quickly and it just felt like any other android phone. On the other hand the iPhone still impressed me with how premium it feels every time I pull it out of my pocket. Even just how the touch screen feels when you’re swiping around the Home Screen. I don’t know what it is but it just feels like a higher quality product. If you’re a heavy tech user and will actually use things like dex then you may want to go with the s23 but if you just use your phone to make calls, watch RUclips, scroll social media and connect with friends then I think the iPhone is the better experience. The s23 ultra is an absolute beast and will do all the things you want it to do but for me I didn’t use even half of the things it could do and it just didn’t feel as good doing the normal everyday things as the iPhone. I honestly believe most average people will enjoy using the iPhone over the ultra but if you will use all the features like dex I completely understand the appeal in the s23. Also I have not had any of the issues people are reporting about the 15. The s23 ultra is cooler during charging but my iPhone doesn’t get overly hot. I think the battery is better on the iPhone as well. On the ultra it seemed like every time I looked at my battery percentage it had ticked down another percent. My iPhone seems to just sip battery in comparison. I know that was a bit of a ramble but it’s early and I’m tired so forgive me.
I dont know how i got here but i rate the long post.
From S23U to mediocre S14 v2 (ppssstt! It's the 14 pro max, but with a Ti frame and no brace on the back to fully protect the back glass, and camera zoom is just a cropped image) ? Wow! What a downgrade.
@@Chris._P._Baconyeah apart from the A17 being more powerful than the SD8 gen 2, the cameras being slightly better, materials feeling more premium, better overall app optimisation. there's literally nothing the iPhone is worse than a flagship android.
So you basically want to feel premium in your hand. Did you remember when huawei in market both samsung and iphone were so competitive for each after what happen to huawei well here we all known both company seems to be more lazy. I still have thinking that apple is the main culprit behind for what happen to huawei
I have an iPhone now and one of the reasons I am considering switching is simply making phone calls. The UI for iPhone calls is really getting on my nerves. The tiny little button it creates in the corner of your screen is almost impossible to select. So switching to apps during a call or putting a caller on hold to pick up another is so incredibly frustrating. Sometimes I just hang up and call back individually to avoid it. The 'Silence' button on the side is another feature I genuinely dislike. I've missed so many phonecalls because it accidentally switches while in my pocket. I am actually thinking of migrating to Android simply because the most core functionalities of a iPhone are poorly designed in UI/interface. I plan on keeping my MBP and iPad but the simple issues of iPhone seem kind of inexcusable considering how long its been around. I love it otherwise but I gotta be able to make calls haha.
Battery life of typical usage is always left behind or not highlighted. Please include them in your next long term reviews.
They are almost identical. Iphone lasts like 10 mins longer
Definitely love the s23 ultra. I do still photos more than video and love the spen. Stability, performance and battery have been excellent. Also appreciate split screen and multitasking in general. And then there's the clipboard and the better file system. I might slightly prefer the Apple Watch and the design of the iPhone but I also enjoy my galaxy watch 4.
What fanbase rivalry is the most immature?
a) Samsung vs Apple
b) Playstation vs Xbox
c) Messi vs CR7
What pair of fanbases is less aware of the concepts of "Taste" and "Preferences"?
a) Difficult to choose, both.
b) Playstation.
c) CR7
Samsung
Playstation
Easy, no world cup no goat 🤷🏾
People with iphones walk around with there screen on in their hands look into the light
Apple, PlayStation, Cristiano.
Cr7 is trash Messi should be obvious rest are correct@@FlubFlubber
I have switched from an iPhone 14 Pro Max to a S23 Ultra months back and... I don't regret it. I do miss using the iPhone but I needed that new experience
I wanna make this exact switch bro, how has the experience been so far
I had the S23 ultra, which is a beast of a phone.
But I now have the iPhone 15 pro max and that is also a beast of a phone. You can't go wrong with either device. The 2 best phones this year.
iOS is very good, the only difference is that with Android you can make more settings and with the Samsung I can take a long screenshot anywhere, with the iPhone you have to go into safari, but I'm already used to it but that can be even better.
Video cameras are good for both, but the iPhone is really the ruler in video cameras.
Battery life is both very good, the iPhone just a little bit better.
The software works crazy well for both ;).
I wish I had enough money to keep both ;).
You can take a long screenshot with your iPhone as well. Just click on full page at the top of the screenshot. You’re welcome 🙏🏾
@@kidjiujitsu Yes and no. You have to do it in the safari browser, otherwise it won't work unfortunately. I think that is very unfortunate.
Just from my stand point. I do not think having a lighter phone is a big issue with anyone. Giving the fact that your hands get use to the phone it self. I think I'll stay on the side with customization and freedom. 😊
Lemme guess the end of the video "It all comes down to the personal preference of the end-user."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just bought my s23 ultra. Been using ip14pm and has been an iphone user but when i switched to s23 ultra i def can say d cam is a pro compared to my 14pm.
I just got my S23 ultra for $400 off brand new and unlocked. Switching from my Pixel 6 pro. I will miss my Pixel but the camera is so scratched, when I take a picture, the blacks have a TON of noise. It's bad. I've been on the Android beta program for several years but it's time to give Samsung another try. It helps that Samsung has Android 14 now too.
I have the iPhone 15 Pro and Samsung S23U. Both are great in their way. However, I switch depending on what I am doing. But if I had to choose one, it would be the S23U.
For 4 years i tried keeping both ecosystems till i later realised that the other platform I was only keeping it out of elitism rather than functionality. Like literally most of the time if I am using the phone, it was the galaxy. Pushed banking apps, GPS, main phone thing on the iPhone .. Still used the galaxy more than i could the other.
This year I resolved let me keep the s23u only. I feel happier. Got tempted with the 15 and preordered the 15 pro. Returned it after 2 weeks. Lets see what they bring with the 16.
@@ad5772may as well wait a few years iPhones don’t improve much year by year anymore, I don’t know what the one of the largest companies in the world do all year to give such minimal disappointing upgrades year after year, I miss Steve jobs
I like simplicity. The things that benefited me was on iPhone. Android is good but don’t fit what I like. I’m happy with my 15 Pro Max. Just got it yesterday.
iPhone user since March 2022 and Android user since forever😅. I don’t really have issues with my iPhone. It works well, smooth, ProMotion screen, aesthetic of emojis is fine, speakers are amazing and video quality is great but i would choose S23 Ultra if i had to.
I will stick to my iPhone and my other Android smartphone because i want to use my iPhone on a long term. I don’t use any other Apple device and don’t use iMessage ( i live in Europe ), so ecosystem is not a thing for me: i’m used to use devices ( 📱➕ 🎧➕ 💻 ) from different brands, no brand loyalty. I love using both iPhone and Android smartphone everyday.
I can't believe this topic is still on the table when people are waiting for the S24. It's amazing how the S23 Ultra scooped The 2023 Phone of The Year on MrWhoseTheBoss then gave the iPhone 15 Pro Max a seat next to the Boss Phone of 2023. That Dex Tech & Stylus Pen annihilates every phone on the planet. I'm an avid Xiaomi user and i salute all the premium brands iPhone , Huawei,Vivo, Sony, Moto, OnePlus & ZenFone. I can't wait to upgrade to the Redmi 13 Pro soon as stock arrives. That underdog company is serious on delivering premium tech at low price.
I recently switched from IPhone 13 to Samsung z flip 5. Best decision. Android is much more user friendly.
Ios is the most buggy os since ios 16, experienced the worst battery life, and overall experience. Switch my 13 pro max for a samsung and I am very happy
yes it is i got the iphone 14 pro max and its been buggy ever seens i got it and fixing to sell it and go back to my samsung s22 ultra.
I bought a s23 ultra……but certain apps I use work better on iOS. So I swapped back. I’m stuck with iOS no matter how much I want to change….its apps!
If you're at liberty, can you share which apps that you've encountered that work better on iOS?
Yes pls share which apps work better on ios ! I am thinking of switching to the new s24 ultra when it comes out from an iphone 11 but I don’t want my apps to be disrupted 😭
I like the openness of Samsung. I just simply think that it's easier to leave the Samsung ecosystem and go to Apple then it is to leave Apple and go anywhere else.😊
Agreed. Apple does a good job of keeping people for that exact reason. I used to switch between both. But now I’m older and I also have more children it’s hard for me to leave Apple. My entire family is on Apple. I use their family plan. Their iCloud. Their tracking devices the whole 9. Switching is almost impossible at this point without disrupting the whole families day to day lives.
Indeed
Been using s23 ultra since launch ,best phone I've ever used
A child can learn an iPhone in minutes.
It will take you a long time to learn everything a S22 or S23 Ultra will do.
I'm still learning everything my S22 Ultra can do & it's almost 2024! It just keeps surprising me.
The OS is So Smooth Also.
The days of "Lag" & "Crashing" are long gone.
The s23 ultra is far superior with the s pen gestures and utilization when my fingers get tired and for photos from a distance , Samsung members , Samsung health , Samsung flow , Dex , Samsung TV , wireless projection , 10 x zoom , better thermal management, faster charging customizable keyboard between samsung keyboard and gboard simultaneously, good lock, emulator gaming way beyond the iPhone 15 pro expensive gaming , superior multi tasking with exclusive edge panel up to 3 apps at a time , superior in screen fingerprint scanner etc . My s23 ultra is the phone champion on 2023
Come on the iPhone can't even multi task and honestly apple is based on simplicity and limitation and it should stay that way. Many features apple introduced like programmable side key and USB C Samsung we had that in 2019 and we've had for years . People saying iOS is better is nonsense and preposterous. Samsung is the king of smartphones and the s23 ultra is the champ barely a comparison
For business... can't beat the s23 U
The s pen is amazing
switched from iP13PM (my first flagship after using $300-500 phones), to S23U this year.
Man, Androids are just superior ngl.
iOS is just too limiting, no proper notification categorisation, no T9 dialing, and fking NO BACK GESTURE.
every app has a different way to go back, like wtf ?
Hopefully iOS gets better now thay DU has forced them to allow sideloading.
would definitely try iP16/17 that is if the sideloading is allowed properly just like Androids and not just for name sake.
edit: and this was also my first Samsung device, so the Windows-Samsung ecosystem, GoodLock, etc I was experiencing first time.
Not to mention Apple Pay doesn’t work in my country, so GPay and Samsung Wallet, were just another top notch experience.
Overall I just don't think I will go back to iOS ever for my primary device, maybe will get it to see what is happening on that end, so we can force Samsung/Google to bring those better features.
Like I also have a Pixel and a Xiaomi ROOTED phone, just for the experience of them.
ngl Rooting is still more privacy friendly, and I wish the stuff I can do with rooting will eventually come to Android natively.
and thus for similar experience, I might use iPhones as secondary device, but after S23U, my primary device for now is definitely Samsung.
Hey there! Thanks for sharing this comparison video. I'm interested in learning more about the Samsung S23 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Could you please provide some key points or features that were discussed in the video? It would help me make a more informed decision. Thanks!
AT&T LGK10, my first smartphone,great phone,...but when on an app,shuts down repeatedly,other than that,works fine....considering going with a flagship...iPhone 15 pro max or samsung galaxy S23 Ultra...my concern is transfering All Data...can i transfer All Data to either Phone?...your take?...recommend?
Unpopular Opinion : buy used S23 Ultra right now and next February, trade in with S24 Ultra. If you're lucky, might as well get freebies and huge discount. Plus, you cant go any wrong with AI nowadays.
Outside the US, trade-ins are poor compared to the US. So, I would not recommend in Europe. But with the S24U losing the 10X zoom, some people may want to get the S23U instead?
Could you please tell me how my Partner’s phone, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra can receive a group text message sent from my iPhone 13 Pro? I thought Samsung was fixing that huge problem earlier this year. He can't get group family text messages. Many thanks in anticipation of a happy and positive reply asap.
@6monthslater sir I m confused which should I buy, I m a camera n music lover can you plz suggest me the better one.... In many videos iphone15 pro n max are showing heating issues. So plz clear this
Get the IPhone it is more faster has Dolby Atmos and 😊
This is Easy the S23 Ultra is the best phone in the last 10 years and the S24 ultra is gonna be even better leaving every single phone brand in the dust facts on facts on facst.
I just picked up the iphone 15 pro max coming from samsung A71 5g.. looking at the s23 utltra the support and trade in value was the deciding factor for me. Samsung here is aus, doesnt compare wuth sofware updates so short, to expansive.
I 've switched my s23+ for the iPhone 15 pro max!!! Best regret ever!!!!! Samsung is the best
I like the S23 ultra. Its just the screen rectangular corner screen. Better if make the S23 plus design as the S23 ultra
I had both but in the end I kept my 15 Pro Max and traded the S23 Ultra for the OnePlus Open. Both superb phones but iPhone just edged out with how polished the apps and experiences were.
same here , i loved s23 but sometimes i just wanna be simple and basic af lol
How do you like the open, inwas thinking the open or the s23 and went with s23
@@exarchoskanelis84 I just got it today, so far it's great, it's barely heavier than my 15 Pro Max and snappy response. The screen looks amazing and the outer screen is a perfect size. If you do buy it, don't go for the faster delivery because you won't get it on the right date unfortunately, so don't waste the money (even tho they'll refund you). It came about five days later than expected.
what camera are you using for shooting this video?
Sony A7S MarkIII, you can find all the equipment we use for production here:

@@6MonthsLater Thank you 😊
I really enjoy watching your detailed videos they're amazing !!
Glad you like them!
Yup. For me, my microwave, oven, washing machine (both washer and dryer) are all samsung, but personally, I switched to 15 pro max. Better quality and worth the price.
How do you send pictures to an iphone without it losing its quality. I think iphones have a setting, can't recall right now , how its called .
you make solid videos i must say, i just subscribed!
!!
Great review. Thank you. My gut tells me to go with the S23 Ultra. I like the quality of the apple devices, the feel, look and speed, but just too many limitations. Been an android user from since i owned my first smartphone. I can't seem to make a decision though whether to buy an iPhone 15 pro max or S23 ultra
S23 ultra is better
At this point you're probably better off waiting for the S24...it's only a little over a month away.
@@rhaibi12
Agreed. Don't buy the S23 until S24 comes out. Let's see what Samsung brings to the table! Also, the price of S23 will fall in January 2024 as it's superseded by a newer model!
@@ksumaryup I'm planning this since it's first release. Waiting for s24 ultra release so i can buy the s23 ultra much cheaper
Wot abt the chip inside...is SD gonna be laggy a after 1 or 2 yrs ?
What do you use personally though?
An iPhone like every single RUclipsr. Specially in the US
@@levipb1403 I think is funny that all my friends who think they know a lot of tech have a Samsung. The others who work in the IT and actually know a lot of tech all have an iPhone
@6monthslater, what is your daily driver?
Can anyone tell me how to transfer photos from iPhone to Samsung without losing the original date of the photos? now only see the transfer date.
The metadata will keep the date of the photos, so if you transfer to a good gallery app, they will hold onto the dates.
The problem is that, Apple introduced iMessage before RCS, because of that encryption. Of course they gonna use it as a marketing strategy. I would too
Which one has better battery life
They’re about the same to be honest. Both batteries are solid.
iPhone, slightly better.
I had 15 Pro Max, sold it for the Pixel 8 Pro, buying S24 Ultra this week! Found iPhone good but boring, camera on 8 Pro better but dark pics need to edit all, so gonna try Samsung which I haven't done since the early note days! If camera on S24 Ultra isn't as good as Pixel, I'll return and keep pixel! Cheers... ❤
Switched from Note 20 Ultra to iphone 15 pro max lol.
The simplicity yet efficiency of iPhone in almost every aspect makes samsung look like a kids phone, it was such a change personally, I might not go back to android at all.
All these Samsung bells and whistles will be forgotten by the first month of you using them.
Since im planning to getting the 2
15 not pro max. I currently have a samsung phone and am deciding to switch since the 15 has a not very expensive price comapre the s23 ultra. And also all my family were iphone until us kids we start woth android and then switch to iphone. But i recomend one thing if u had an iphone dont switch to another phone that is not iphone and vise versa
S23 ultra can connect to projector as well?
Samsung objectively makes a better standalone product - if you were just buying a phone. They give you the full potential capabilities of the device in case you only have the one Samsung device. Apple make a solid device, but they will purposely keep features from it, because "you would get a better experience if you bought (other Apple device)".
For example, Samsung sell tablets and computers, but they will happily sell you a foldable and load the phone with DeX capabilities. In that instance, the tablet or PC would be better and you can buy those if you wish, but they will give you enough to use your foldable to its fullest if you cannot get the others.
Apple will purposefully avoid touch screens and tablet like experiences on Mac, because they would much rather you have "a proper tablet experience" with iPad. Given how much macOS has started sharing with iPadOS, they could easily make a touch friendly Mac. They choose not to. It's not your choice, it's theirs. Apple is a power through synergy company.
Samsung does not "objectively" make a better standalone product. That's subjective.
@chris7077 You are right. It is subjective. I should have simply said, it has more "on paper"
That’s actually fact that Samsung makes an all-around better device. It’s just an Apple has an ecosystem that makes iPhones more competitive. But you cannot say the iPhones are singularly better because it needs an ecosystem to support it. Arguably the S 23 ultra is its own ecosystem. you may not like that factual perspective but you need to just deal with it😉
Considering how much the S23 Ultra packs in terms of features I see it as the better device, iOS is still lacking in features, also some basic stuff like gallery is not well sorted like on the galaxy, also the customization is very lacking, i mean changing the font and text size is so basic compared to what can you do on the S23.
My problem with iphone is that it does not pick up the wifi signal always and is slow on wifi for some reason. Anyone else have this problem?
You missed a bunch of stuff. Like dex , using the s pen as a remote, fast charge speeds.
None of these. Got me a pixel 8 and it's amazing 😍
#TeamPixel
Would rather crawl through a field of glass than use an apple device.
Btw great video as usual mate, you highlighted all the points fairly
Show us where Tim Cook touched you.
Apple phones are just too limiting and boring 😔 😴
I feel the same way about ever, EVER, going back to any android devices.
@@soberanisfam1323 it’s not really something I’m doing every day modifying my home screen or the various other features. The only thing that android has over iOS is sideloading apps at this point.
So glad I switched from s23 ultra to the iphone 15 pro max. no more being part of the toxic android fanbase. android fans bash on apple for no reason. well actually to make themselves feel good. haha
I use both for a year now. I feel I need to be gentle with I but abusive to S. Sam is capable with multitasking but splitting personal vs work profile is pain in the arse e.g., can't take screenshots on MS TEAMS and send it on Whatsapp. Android Auto is erratic vs Carplay works 100%. Purely on feel wise, iPhone still has the smooth fluid slide. So I keep Sammy for RUclips and MS Office but carry iPhone for quick task like ewallet, epay, the face biometric is superb and fast. Batt stamina they are about the same with some tuning on settings. Sammy has options for joy of typing now with Grammarly it's ease of replying texts esp for older folks. iPhone works well with Google and Microsoft apps. As for photo capabilities, iPhone takes true light or dark skin tone but my brown skin friends prefer Sammy for giving a lighter skin tone. Daily use both phones don't differ except multitasking and network where Samsung has stronger signal. Now Sammy has AI and prompts even their alarm clock is customisable which iPhone users will learn to appreciate when they convert. And in my country, we need 2 physical SIMs 😂 Sammy needs to work on biometrics. It's clumsy. Lastly, we love phones with high aesthetic so iPhone is ahead 😅 iPhone 16 will out in a few days so I'm wondering if it's better to keep or upgrade to a smaller 6.3". Thanks for reading 😊
RUclipsrs should stop making this comparison cause it's abusing iPhone users at this point
lol 😂😂
Samsung all day. Left iPhone in 2018 & never looked back. Goodbye ball and chain, hello freedom! Love Sammie mobile tech.
I think the iphone 15 as whole is much better than S23 ultra thats because it has such a long life. My dad has an ihpine 7 plus that he got when it first came out at it is good as brand new phone and same for my mom. But the samsungs as whole not strong life it becomes bad after years 😕.
Apple is using low grade battery for 15PM, reports suggest it can only handle around 500 cycles. So I would not count for longetivity on the latest model. 😅
@@PhazonBlaxor You buy a new battery when it dies! I understand that Samsung guarantees only 500 cycles before capacity exceeds
@@andyH_England And pay additional 200€ for the replacement? Great. I don't know about guarantees, but that does not mean much. 1000 cycles is common for good quality batteries.
It's absurd iPhone costs an arm an leg, but they have went with low quality components for the battery.
@@PhazonBlaxor The battery replacement is up to £100 in the UK. Less for many and older versions. For that, you get a warranty from Apple and maintain water resistance. For reference, it is £80 for an authorised S23U battery replacement, so there is only a slight difference.
@@andyH_England Not that cheap here in Finland, and it's a hassle to wait for the replacement and you lose data during the process (in most cases, hard to find services where the phone does not get wiped). I'd rather just have good quality battery to begin with.
I have the IP15PM and I love it. I also have the S21Ultra, I love it too.
@6monthslater Hello.... Just bought s23 ultra... The app Goodlock you mentioned I can't find it anywhere
My brothers s10e hand me down has slowed down tremendously and I thought it was time for an upgrade. Ordered it and im getting it on the 1st of december, hope this phone lives up to the hype
Updates?
S23 ultra was a better phone but it kept missing shots of my kids because of slow shutter speeds (not shutter lag). So went back to the 14 pro max, and it works for me
Latest update in s23 ultra gives a fast shutter speed as iphone🙂🙂🙂
I hate switching phones because I have to login to my apps all over again like fb or ig and I dont remember the email or password
Sold my 14 pro and apple watch ultra and iPad pro m2 and bought s23 ultra galaxy watch 5 pro and galaxy tab s9 plus now I love it all I still miss my apple watch ultra
Will you make the switch back to apple eventually or stay with Samsung?
@bigdrews4360 to be honest I absolutely love my s23 ultra its been so good to me and I love the galaxy watch 5 pro but I miss my apple watch ultra so bad so I'm still debating
samsung has better phones but apple has better watches and ipads
@@dodgeram1500tn true ven tho I love my s9plus tab and my galaxy watch 5 pro
What's the "Customized" price of this glorious S23 Ultra?
I have s23 ultra from last 7 months awesome phone 📱 ultimate camera and superfast processor..
They're both amazing it just depends which OS you prefer
I have both. I prefer the s23
I dont understand why you guys compare s23 with iPhone 15 pro max ?? Compare s23 with iphone 14 p4o max and s24 with iphone 15 !!..
I think they do that because they are the flagships readily available at the moment. When the s24 is released, I'm sure you will see that comparison.
S23 ultra 1TB in cream overhere great phone and android 14 is really slick i'm going to keep this phone for at least 4 years! 👍👊
Just Came from the 13 pro max, i really do prefer Samsungs UI. The phone i got from samsung is really good. Im glad i switched from apple aswell fr. I just like how much more i can do
I have an iphone 14 PM and I want to keep it for a while. But everytime I see a Galaxy S23 Ultra in a store I wish I could try it for a week or sth. Just to know how modern Samsung phones feel.
I have a samsung phone and a fridge and a samsung TV. So, kids keep the fridge door open for too long, I get the notification on my Samsung phone. I find this feature very useful.
Iv been with apple since iphone 4 - the 14 pro max now., upgrading each year. I am really bored. The galaxy S23U is the first android that I really like. After the S24U is announced next month I am upgrading to it. I’m leaving Apple.
@6 Months Later Your credibility is lost. You "comparison" clowns almost always hedge your bets just enough to stay in the good graces of both brands in order to continue to get free merch while at the same time showing your true bias by sliding in misinformation. Pretty much every advantage you tried to stealthily give to Apple, Android/Samsung/Google does equally as well, or surpasses. (Google Wallet literally has security options equal to Apple, and integration between watch tablet and phone is just smooth), another example is when you CORRECTLY gave the OS acknowledgement for being more customizable, but in your closing arguments you stumbled all over yourself in order not to declare a "winner", which is what this post CLAIMED you would do.....Wow.....
You are seemingly anti-Apple and a hardcore Samsung fan, so you may need to watch videos on Samsung-affiliated channels that will make love to the S23U and hate on Apple.
@@andyH_England I'm not anti-ANYTHING, and my previous comment explains all my points. You're welcome to re-read if you can muster through brain cells to do so.....
I am upgrading from Note 10 plus to S24 Ultra next month
You can tell when you’re talking to someone who’s really an android fan. Because they want us to have RCS So bad and shame iMessage to do it.
2:13-2:54 Who has time to do all that? Sounds way over the top. iPhone just works.
iPhones are for old people and kids.
I can't wait to switch back to Samsung, I miss the simpler things, the things you take for granted, not camera. But daily thing you interact with
After spending a little over a year with an iPhone, and experiencing all the frustrations and limitations this phone can do? I CANNOT WAIT TO SWITCH BACK TO ANDROID.
With Android I have no need to buy storage, I can transfer all my photos to a PC and then a flash drive WITHOUTH LOOSING ANY QUALITY or size of the photo like I experience with this iPhone.
Also, photo quality OVERALL Samsung's is 2nd to NONE, with my iPhone night pictures are just HORRIBLE, plain and simple. Whatsapp works so much better on Android, more customizable and easier to use.........and with each day that goes by? I feel more incompetent using an iPhone, I cannot wait to get a SAMSUNG GALAXY 24 ULTRA. and trade this iPhone and never look back again.
I am the other way round. Bought the S23U because of the hype, and as good as it is, it is not as great as Samsung fans convince themselves. I now use a Pixel 8 Pro and much happier, and my other phone, as always, is an iPhone, the 15PM currently.
Just another samsang fanboy trying hard to hate on apple. Straight up you will still get the most trade im value with the iphone compared to samsang which will drop its value more than 50% after a month ROFL😌🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I switched to IOS for the first time ever, I’m coming from Samsung which I’ve always used for years. The 15 pro max is probably the best phone I’ve ever had, especially in terms of battery life. I don’t regret the switch one bit.
It’s always exciting when you try something new for the first time.
This is that honeymoon phase. Happy you love your iPhone. They’re great products for sure.
give it time you be going back to samsung, i thought iphone was great when i tryed it and now there are buggyer than android .
@@dodgeram1500tn I guess we’ll see but so far it’s been amazing
I went from Android to Apple. One thing about me, I am not brand loyal. I am a simple man. I dont really customize my phone. I dont reverse charge anything. I don’t need a crazy insane camera either my Samsung Galaxy s6 was dying on me and I needed a new phone so I said fuck it and bought an iPhone 13 pro max. People complain that I should have stayed android but honestly I don’t care. When my iPhone dies I might get a new iPhone or go back to Samsung it doesnt matter to me. Which ever one is the cheapest between the two I guess 🤷♂️
Switched from my Galaxy S20 plus to my first iPhone 15 Pro max and I’m officially an Apple fanboy. Love my 15 Pro max.
Samsung oneUI gives many.many features to me, everything that i need to do, it seems there's always something on samsungs that allows me to do it im never left feeling why cant it do this, if only it would do that etc etc
like I am with many many phones manufacturers ive tried !!! iPhones no longer apeal to me like they did when they were all about metal and glass etc.
Most phones today are not cheap plastic with loose battery backs and warped plastic screens ....
That made the iphone stand out after many many Nokia phones through the 2000 years
The iPhone really does have good video though....
Resale value of iPhones are better witch is a bummer 😕
But I moved to Samsung after the iphone 5 maybe iPhones are different now but I'm not prepared to go back to try 😅
That's a mind blowing video. Def. Followed
Im really a samsung fan and have the s23 ultra. It comes down to the OS. You want android get a samsung and apple ios. They are both insanely good
I use a Samsung 23U and Android in general because I don't want all the iMessage chat/group chat spam. I feel being on SMS/RCS causes people to only contact me if it is necessary. #Greenbubble precedence.
❤ your comment!!!! Thought I was the only one, LOL!
Let's be clear, Samsung does make Desktops, but apparently only for the Korean Market. In fact, they have a Desktop which pretty much looks like the imac
I have the s23 ultra and iPhone 15 pro max, my wife loves iPhone, especially the 15pro max from being a long time android user. I can’t decide, I so like Samsung due the 15 pro max feels tiny in my hands compared to the S23 ultra.
My fave feature of the 15 Pros has to be the lighter titanium frame. My kids bought the mid year green 13 Pro, and l've always disliked the weight of their phone. Having held the new Pro phones in my local Apple Store, colour me impressed. I'll definitely be upgrading from my XS to a 15 Pro next year, ... just haven't decided which one. I'll also be using a MagSafe grip and bumper. I want to show off whatever colour I end up getting - no full cases for me.
Thanks as always for the content.
Whats there to show off its the same phone as year after year its not like your showing off a foldable I whipped out my fold and iphone user said I'm a shame to even whip out my iphone nothing new but a big hole in the screen
Im getting 830 bucks off of all iphone 15, but ive always wanted the ultra and im getting 600 off of all s23 phones, but if i get buds and a watch with eitjer phone it comes out to 900, so idk lol
Samsung Dex and the S Pen makes S23 Ultra worth it
Samsung is my choice. I am still retaining the old model Note 20+ Ultra because it has an SD card slot. You can now buy one for a mere £25 for 512Gb.
512 on the phone and 512 on the card = 1Tb.
Also, the screen mirror and Dex to PC is a joy. Plug and play by dragging MP3 etc from PC to Android is quick! None of these iTunes complications!
SPen is a joy when you snapshot an image of say an address that someone sent you.
You can convert it to OCR and paste it to Google Maps in one sweep!
I think the iPhone is a bit restrictive but I give credit to their camera module.
Let's hope S24 can fix that in 2024 and move up!
Seasonal regards
