I too had previously been using an iPhone since 2012 and just last year (2023) I switched to a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. I do not in the slightest way, shape, or form regret my decision. This was easily the best choice from a tech perspective I have ever made in my life as my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra blows every iPhone out of the water effortlessly.
As a Samsung user for over a decade I actually tried the IPhone 15 Pro and to me, it was such a restrictive, archaic experience changing settings and ALL the extra maneuvering to do the simplest of things the iPhone only made is less than THREE days before I said to myself "FU@K THIS" and GLADLY went back to my Samsung! You cannot customize next to NOTHING on an iPhone and it just "looks" like everyone else's phone, which is way to BLAH for me! At least with Samsung and the GoodLock suite, you can customize every aspect of the phone. My Samsung is totally tricked out using swipe gestures, and my home screens are all unique. IMO, Apple is just SO lacking and back-asswards I can't use it! It's too simpleton and blah for my needs. I LIKE customization, tweaking of every aspect!
@@johnszatkowski6898 I definitely understand what you're saying. I felt the same way when I was younger. As I got older being on my phone got less important. I like that the iPhone is simple and straightforward, but it gets the job done
@@maddetox Oh, I totally get that "simple" experience, but I prefer more and LOVE the customization Samsung flagships phones offer. Phones are STILL a huge part of our daily lives and I only state my opinion and NEVER disagree with someone's choice and is only my opinion or point of view as we are ALL different! No worries mate! If you detected hate or anger then I apologize as I only state my opinion.
Don’t understand the battle between phone users. I’m an Apple user always have been. There was one time I used Samsung and it wasn’t for me. There’s so little between it’s just down to preference 🤘🏻
@PAVEL-JAKL I wanted the s25u but the rounded screen isn't for me. The s24u hard edges create a mini TV experience. I like it much more compared to my s21u which is more curved. To each their own but s24u will be cheap next year and it has 7 years of updates.
@PAVEL-JAKL I was thinking the same, but the s26ultra might be the best choice to upgrade from the S23ultra , but let's see how the upcoming s25 ultra will be like.
Apple doesn't lie on specs so they tell you final wattage rate, whereas other manufacturers tell you wattage consumed out of the wall in spite of much of that wattage being wasted to heat and other inefficiencies of physics. "ONLY" 27 watts wired, not sure why you use the word "only" as it's currently best in class for final wattage on a premier flagship. And no I'm not talking about Chinese phones that use irresponsible high wattage that kills battery longevity and has safety hazards.
I bought S24 Ultra and it came with a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. And I still have my iphone 14pro max. I use the S24 ultra more. Iphone is smoother, but Samsung just gives more and I'm enjoying the features it can give. The iPhone 16 pro max or me is not that worth it, not AI shipped with the phone, I tried IOS 18, I always am part of the developer's data testers, and I don't like it. The camera button is worthless or me, I have a fujifilm, but the zoom for samsung is what I need for concerts. Love the spen! The AI gimmicks, the translate, and the multitasking!

Watching this on the ancient Note 10 plus, still working flawlessly (except for one cheap battery replacement) waiting for the S25 Ultra, not because I need an upgrade, but because I want one 😁
Reading that brought a smile on my face 😊 as I was watching from the same phone. To be honest thats the best note plus/ultra design - slim, edgy but still kinda rounded edges, good display, no hassle at all, Spen, still quite fast and with great battery life. If you wanna do some upgrade, you can do same like me. I keep the note 10 plus always with me just buy a second device if I want the new stuff. Currently with a Fold 4 and note 10 plus and I dont need anything else

@@mkjbawi9308 When uploading a reel on Instagram from a flagship iPhone versus a flagship Samsung phone, the iPhone generally results in better-quality uploads. This difference is due to Instagram's optimization for iOS devices. Instagram compresses videos differently for Android users, often leading to slightly lower-quality uploads, while the app is better optimized for iPhone uploads, maintaining higher clarity and resolution. Both devices capture excellent footage, but Instagram's internal processing tends to favor iPhone videos, leading to better overall quality when viewed on the platform. This is not related to the internet speed but rather Instagram's app optimization and compression algorithms.

My 14 Pro Max got left on the dashboard of my car with only a little of its side exposed. I went on with my work and remembered I left it in the car. Went back to pick it up circa 2 hours later, it overheated and gave me a temperature warning I didn't ever get before. Instead of shutting it off and letting it cool in the shade of a room, I left it in the car boot for a couple of hours and picked it up in the afternoon. It came back to safe operating temperature. Fast forward to the day after: alarm works as intended, I got up, browse the smartphone a bit. As I was watching TH-cam shorts, the display flashed a few times and it turned green. When it flipped the smartphone and took a look a the camera module I could see condensation on the inside and I understood that the smartphone was dying. So yeah, the very best smartphone of 2022 overheated, built condensation inside, couldn't dry safely and died. Not to mention the permanent micro-stuttering on every TH-cam video at any quality every tenths of seconds. Also, I was video chatting with a friend on Messenger and completing my duolingo lesson and the phone decided to switch off my video call to an audio-only call due to the phone running out of memory. I await the 17 Pro Max with at least 12 Gb of RAM, because I presume that the main selling point of the 17 series will be the actual multi-tasking and maybe a partnership with Sony to bring PlayStation ports to iOS playable at 60 FPS.
Swapped from iPhone 12 Pro Max to s24 ultra and no regrets here. The final straw that made me swap was using iTunes to handle my music and it was such a pain in the ass. With the s24, I can connect it to the PC and it handles exactly like a usb drive, simple drag and drop. I can even download music directly from the s24 and not even have to use my PC.
I've seen many comparison videos lately and so far this was the very best. Thanks for your review. Just mentioning the s pen is also kind of a remote control for the camera and the sound level.
Really love how neutral you are in explaining the differences. I will still go for the iPhone 16 PM, but Samsung/Android is doing an awesome job. Subscribing
If you like customisation then it's google (android) all the way. If you dont really understand tech youll but an iphone. Thats no criticism, just a fact (no haters pls, i use both)
just think it 1000 times. if you just want basic functionalities, android offers a lot of that in less money. spending more than 1000USD in a basic phone seems like, you know, a psychological problem?
I’ve tried switching to Samsung many times however I like the ecosystem and software of apple better but at least I can say I tried android for 2 years
Having had many iPhones and many Androids, my take is. Both are great phones, but they aspire to be two different experiences, android is for the people who love the latest tech and loads of options, the iPhone is for people who want things polished and refined, yes even if its years behind in terms of features, coming from an s23 ultra, I'm ready to move back to apple, I just miss how flawless the OS works with my other apple products, my s23 is good, but I hate how clunky it feels in comparison to iPhone...
I wouldn’t call Android the latest “Tech” especially when every Android phone is running an Old Outdated 4NM processor which has practically hit its peak on performance. Apple is edging away from Samsung and other Android devices in the processor department just look at the speeds of the new iPhone 16 Pro A18 compared to other competitors and you’ll see how it just destroys them on testing.
@@Quran01264 s24 is 3nm & s25 wil be faster. 4NM means it has space for improvements. iPhones cannot improve much, particularly since iOS has inferior design with limited devices & more expensive memory to compensate. With S25 the performance will be on par & Galaxy will start to lead with spare/extra features.
@@dimiberberu 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣No!!!!!😂 Snap dragon 8 Gen 3 is the Old 4NM processor design and that will be carried on into the Samsung ultra 25 design as well 😂 The only phone that uses 3NM processor is iPhone 15 Pro & 16 Pro or the A17 & A18 pro 😂 Samsung lagging behind or will be soon, the Ultra 25 won’t be as powerful as the iPhone 16 pro. You can’t keep overlocking the chip otherwise you’ll get major problems why do think Apple got rid and jumped in to buy the New 3NM design. The 4NM has reached the end of its life span on what is generally possible with the chip.
I think experience cannot be expressed with specs. As a long time time Android user, I switched to iPhone. The only pain I experienced was data transfer. The categories you left out are the ones that make an iPhone stand out: 1) Superior backup and sync, 2) seamless Continuity and settings l between devices is a significant workflows, 3)Apple's app quality is way up there compared to Android counterparts, 4) Superior interoperability between apps, 5) Shortcuts app adds functionality like a significant software update would (Samsung's routines app is a joke compared to shortcuts), and 6) hardware durability (Apple hardware lasts longer and is more reliable). Always take these comparison videos with a grain of sand. Best and more honest approach is to review each phone individually, and focus of the qualitative aspects more (experience using it). Reviews such as that of Jeremy Clarkson reviewing a car from an experience than a zero-sum compare/contrast ale always more elways.more educational.
I switched from Samsung note 9 to iPhone 13PM. Just recently purchased 16PM. I’m happy with the switch. I was an android user from the beginning , but I’ve come to prefer iOS.
That’s good. Problem is reliability. It may beat every phone in battery life 9/10 times. But I’m going to pick the loser that has consistent battery life 10/10 times.
Bro Between Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 16 PLUS What should I opt for..? Keeping the perspective of long term usage with non deteriorating Performance..?? ( I'm a Normal to Moderate Gamer also ) ( There are so many peoples complaining about Display problem and Green line issues in S24 Ultra Please help me to choose the BEST between the two its a request bro please do reply me..)
As a new S24 Ultra user, It's a very practical phone, it's useful for work and photography and there are some great stylus features you haven't mentioned like the air control and camera capture. The only 2 things i didn't like is the speaker position, this is a painful fact for mobile gamers that they can't enjoy the sound perfectly because the speaker will be completely clogged by the right hand while you holding the phone horizontally. The second thing is battery life, it's good but when i pay this amount of money it's normal to expect a better battery than my previously phones (the older one was Asus zenfon 9 and the last one was realme 12 pro plus and both was giving a longer battery life which is absolutely amazing)
I love the feel of the 24 ultra. But to be honest i switched back to my iphone 11 pro max running ios 18. As good as the 24 ultra is, it dont compare to what i get from my iphone. Wallet, iMessage, FaceTime, airdrop, calendar, reminders and shortcuts are just so good and better than what samsung offers.
@@maddetox I’m itching to buy the new s25 ultra, their screen is sooo good and the customization , and I own a windows laptop, but those things you mentioned from Apple is what keeps me with iPhone, I would add the Apple Maps are awesome in the US, much better than google maps, the reminders I haven’t found it that good since I use another app for that…Samsung has a wallet now as well… anyways, trying to balance out both and pick one lol
I can't even believe that the "bubble color" is even a factor for some people but hey to each there own, thought it was funny though you choose to mention that there at the end
Both are epic phones. Couldn't make up my mind so been running both for months now. iPhone for taking and sharing pics, communicating with my iPhone fam and Samsung for everything else.
Now don't hurt me...but I'm upgrading my Ultra 24 to an iPhone 16 pro max 😶🌫️ I'm just gonna see wassup for 3 years and then I'll know whether I wanna go back to my Samsung or keep going with the iPhone
Did you do it yet? I was just wondering if you could make it to 3 years lol, not hating. I'm just curious! The iPhone 13PM i only tolerated for 1 week before I sent it right back!

@CosmicRaihan pretty good experience. No complaints for battery backup or screen all good. One thing I noticed is occasionally i do see stuttering on animations. Specifically when opening backgroup apps or switching between apps. I also noticed little bit of screen grain issue at extreme low brightness. Apart from that all good but smoothness wise no one can match apple
I switched to iPhone after my Samsung s7 edge than the s20 ultra have hardware problem after the two plus years, both with melt back plate glue and the later white out and green lines on the screen on the S20 ultra , went to three Samsung stores sadly their service here in Malaysia is a nightmare they take the confrontation route, I started with iPhone 13 mini before adding an iPad pro and apple watch ultra , recently traded in the mini for iPhone 16 pro which is cheap considering the 13 mini still have value, the apple reseller and apple store personnel were Professional and the iOS experience, awesome
@@saithchannel yeah why wouldn’t it work now and you do realize that s20 ultra is older than a 12 pro max a note 20 ultra is a fairer comparison and I know a person that has one and it works fine
If I were to buy the S24 Ultra in the US, when would be the best time to buy, Q4 of 2024 or after the S25 is released? Is the better price/deal before the new release or after the new release? - current iPhone user (also do phone providers do trade-ins where you trade in an iPhone and get a good deal on a Samsung or would you already have to have a Samsung to get any trade-in value?) Thanks!
One major thing alot of reviewers miss and that is Samsung dex. One of the main reasons I switch from the iPhone pro 13 to the s23. I am one of those people who can get by on computing with my cell phone and a lapdock. It's a killer feature that is worth mentioning at the very least.
Honestly i used to love Apple but wouldn't have one for free now. They're so far behind eveyone else. Just keep giving the practically the same phone year after year.
@kellymorton6001 why do you say they're behind others? I'm looking for a new phone coming from a redmi note 9 pro and was looking to these new iPhones or to hold on until s25 family releases
@@kellymorton6001 that used to be the case years ago but phones have plateaued and Apple has pretty much caught up in terms of features. There’s not much an Android can do that iPhone can’t.

@@hoodiekid Sammy has more functionality and full AI features. The 16 series has a new camera button and is supposed to get AppInt (Apples’s AI) in 2025.

@@kellymorton6001 that is simply wrong. Just one example, Apple was able to release TWO GENERATIONS of 3nm processors before any other company could release a single 3nm chip.
For a distinct minority of users who actually USE the S-Pen more than once a month just to validate they have it, you're right. For other users it's just a gimmick that gives them a sense of glowing pride. The actual superiority of the S24 is the 2600 nits and anti-reflective screen. For outdoor use it's a clear win. For indoor use and ecosystemic integration with other devices, it's a clear Apple win. So there is no real winner, it depends on what you use, how often, where you use it, and even what other devices you have.
Both are nice phones, (I have the 16 pro max) but the Samsung is fabulous phone especially on the ability to customise the look, not forgetting the really great camera, though shutter lag is still a bit of an issue
Just switched from S23 Ultra to iPhone 16 Pro Max and I’m so happy I did. The S23U is a great phone but it got annoying in the end. iPhone is way smoother to operate due to iOS and higher build quality. FaceID is far superior to the scanner also. I was very annoyed with the green color peeling of the sides of the Samsung even that it was always in a case and never dropped. Really shitty for a flagship device. It started peeling around the S-pen hole and grew bigger and then on the sides. The rattling sound from the camera OIS was also a quality issue that annoyed me. Great phone none the less but I like iOS more and probably never will return to android.
I used to customize and play with the S-pen the first days and weeks. After that I didn’t bother. The iPhone wins easily in daily operation smoothness. For me , iPhone is best at what you do the most with the phone
@@xero299 do you recommend the change?. I suffer some lag experience on my S23 Ultra. It was so frustrating... the battery drains so fast in every update
Loved your video nice way of showing the difference between both phones. Well I’m using the iPhone 15 max and I sure do miss my galaxy s23 ultra but I’ll go back to it as soon as I can but I’ll get the the s24 ultra and I’m sticking to it. I just find that the iPhone is boring and not much to do.
@@WhatGear yes , Apple help building the QI 2 standard which now use 15 watts like older iphones, but they also made the place for a new generation of magsafe at 25 watts, but you need a new puck. but now with wireless you can charge 50% of a pro max in 30 min.
I absolutely love my S24 ultra, a few issues with the camera ( jumpy zoom in/ out) is annoying and the fact that i will need to buy a Macbook for audio stuff makes realize it might be in my best interest to switch to 🍎
One thing apple has that Samsung doesn’t… a smaller sized phone (iPhone 16 pro) with flagship specs. The s24 ultra is great but it’s a brick. The ip16 is much easier to hold and that’s why I prefer it. Let’s be honest, both phones will do everything we want, don’t need a geekbench score to tell me that I can open so many tabs in chrome, and the os aren’t far apart.. it’s personal choice at this point
As far as the eco system. SOme say well you need a samsung laptop/tablet to use it. That is no different than having to use an iPad/Macbook. But quickshare also works with non Samsung Computers. So Samsung eco system works with more and tests I have seen, it is faster. So in the real world you can use either one with not much compromise. ( I have used Apple's eco system and it works, but it can be finicky also where it takes a few tries or it gets delayed. SO neither one is perfect.
I just wish Samsung would put all their flagship features in the smaller S24 form. I don't want to carry around a 6.7 phone. The 6.2 screen is perfect IMO.

Hi your videos are very informative!I am switching from iPhone 15 pro to zfold 6 because after almost 10 years of pretty much the same phone I am really bored!!!Could you maybe make a video of how to transfer all our data from iPhone to android?
Been a loyal user of Samsung for 2 decades, but I moved to iPhone 15 pro max late last year, I love it! Worth the price. I see many peers around me who uses iPhones for years even up to 10 years (iPhone 16 plus), and it still works, battery is still good, except can’t use moat of the apps. Common problem of me using samsung and android phones in the past is I have to constantly buy a new phone every 1-2 years. I am not in a luxury to do that, so I would prefer to buy an iPhone and last longer. Also iPhone videography is really good, so it fits me more.
❤s24 ultra can't wait to see when the s25 ultra claps back. But for a phone that 9 months old it still holds it's own, hell the s23 ultra still can stand it's ground against the 16 pro max😅
In efficency, the iPhone wins. In CPU performance, iPhone wins. In GPU performance, Snapdragon is likely to blow A18 Pro out the water (currently is about equal when heat isn't a problem). Within apps, the iPhone camera blows Android phones out the water because it's more deeply integrated. With the camera itself, iPhone's take pictures faster and have more consistent image outcome. Samsung is better when it comes to zoom and certain images. The iPhone takes the best videos. The ceramic shield focuses on drop protection, Gorilla Glass focuses on scratch resistance. Samsung has more superfluous features and will likely to continue when Apple Intelligence comes out and S25 Ultra releases. The weaknesses of each device is likely to be the same when it the S25 Ultra is released. The true difference will be battery life. There truly isn't much innovation these days unless you take note of the smallest improvements.

I switched from my Samsung ultra to an iPhone 16. I’m amazed at how much Samsung have copied Apple, which is handy. However with iOS I get way deeper integrated personalisation. That’s not Samsung’s fault, that’s Google, though Android 14 has copied a lot from iOS which is handy (I’m still keeping my Sony Xperia with its 3.5mm headphone socket and sd card slot. Audio quality of the Xperia beats Samsung into the dust for wired, wireless and speaker quality. iPhone 16 pro is better for audio for wired and speakers but Xperia is better for wireless. Great to have the choice. I wasn’t using the stylus on my ultra and it was uncomfortable to hold compared to the Xperia and iPhone 16 pro. Xperia has insane battery life!

I really like phones, and it means a lot to me to take something without being sad and not regretting later that I had a better choice. I am not tied to anyone's ecosystem. I just want the best phone in the next 2 years. And the choice is between 16 Pro/Max and S24/25Ultra.
@@MrSimkeNS S24 Ultra when S25 comes out will drop significantly. If you want the best then S25 Ultra has better camera hardware & S-pen BT remote control + DEX, or Huawei mate XT Ultimate 3 fold if you want packet tablet & can buy ;)
@@dimiberberu thanks for the advice, I share the same opinion with you. When the S25U comes out, then the S24U will no longer be interesting to me. My biggest fear is that the price will be too high because the operators in Serbia reduced the length of installment payments from 36 to 24 months and increased them a lot. If the prices are similar, it is very likely that I will try the Samsung one contract.
I switched over to iPhone 14pmax from galaxy. Then went 15pmax for usb c. SIRI IS A JOKE. apple accessories are excellent and seamless. Galaxy / android is just way better

as a long time iPhone user i switched to S24 U a few months back. i love the UI and all i can do with it!
I too had previously been using an iPhone since 2012 and just last year (2023) I switched to a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. I do not in the slightest way, shape, or form regret my decision. This was easily the best choice from a tech perspective I have ever made in my life as my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra blows every iPhone out of the water effortlessly.
As a Samsung user for over a decade I actually tried the IPhone 15 Pro and to me, it was such a restrictive, archaic experience changing settings and ALL the extra maneuvering to do the simplest of things the iPhone only made is less than THREE days before I said to myself "FU@K THIS" and GLADLY went back to my Samsung! You cannot customize next to NOTHING on an iPhone and it just "looks" like everyone else's phone, which is way to BLAH for me! At least with Samsung and the GoodLock suite, you can customize every aspect of the phone. My Samsung is totally tricked out using swipe gestures, and my home screens are all unique.
IMO, Apple is just SO lacking and back-asswards I can't use it! It's too simpleton and blah for my needs. I LIKE customization, tweaking of every aspect!
@@johnszatkowski6898 I definitely understand what you're saying. I felt the same way when I was younger. As I got older being on my phone got less important. I like that the iPhone is simple and straightforward, but it gets the job done

Another mistake is that the iPhone can do 45 Watt, which is false as many sources pointed out that the iPhone does only charge at 27 Watts wired.
Apple doesn't lie on specs so they tell you final wattage rate, whereas other manufacturers tell you wattage consumed out of the wall in spite of much of that wattage being wasted to heat and other inefficiencies of physics. "ONLY" 27 watts wired, not sure why you use the word "only" as it's currently best in class for final wattage on a premier flagship. And no I'm not talking about Chinese phones that use irresponsible high wattage that kills battery longevity and has safety hazards.
Also iPhone MagSafe charging is 25 Watts whereas Samsung I think is 15
I bought S24 Ultra and it came with a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.
And I still have my iphone 14pro max. I use the S24 ultra more. Iphone is smoother, but Samsung just gives more and I'm enjoying the features it can give.
The iPhone 16 pro max or me is not that worth it, not AI shipped with the phone, I tried IOS 18, I always am part of the developer's data testers, and I don't like it.

@Eskoxo give one advantage makes the iphone preferable
@@mkjbawi9308 When uploading a reel on Instagram from a flagship iPhone versus a flagship Samsung phone, the iPhone generally results in better-quality uploads. This difference is due to Instagram's optimization for iOS devices. Instagram compresses videos differently for Android users, often leading to slightly lower-quality uploads, while the app is better optimized for iPhone uploads, maintaining higher clarity and resolution.
Both devices capture excellent footage, but Instagram's internal processing tends to favor iPhone videos, leading to better overall quality when viewed on the platform. This is not related to the internet speed but rather Instagram's app optimization and compression algorithms.

My 14 Pro Max got left on the dashboard of my car with only a little of its side exposed.
I went on with my work and remembered I left it in the car. Went back to pick it up circa 2 hours later, it overheated and gave me a temperature warning I didn't ever get before.
Instead of shutting it off and letting it cool in the shade of a room, I left it in the car boot for a couple of hours and picked it up in the afternoon.
It came back to safe operating temperature. Fast forward to the day after: alarm works as intended, I got up, browse the smartphone a bit. As I was watching TH-cam shorts, the display flashed a few times and it turned green.
When it flipped the smartphone and took a look a the camera module I could see condensation on the inside and I understood that the smartphone was dying.
So yeah, the very best smartphone of 2022 overheated, built condensation inside, couldn't dry safely and died.
Not to mention the permanent micro-stuttering on every TH-cam video at any quality every tenths of seconds.
Also, I was video chatting with a friend on Messenger and completing my duolingo lesson and the phone decided to switch off my video call to an audio-only call due to the phone running out of memory.
I await the 17 Pro Max with at least 12 Gb of RAM, because I presume that the main selling point of the 17 series will be the actual multi-tasking and maybe a partnership with Sony to bring PlayStation ports to iOS playable at 60 FPS.
Swapped from iPhone 12 Pro Max to s24 ultra and no regrets here. The final straw that made me swap was using iTunes to handle my music and it was such a pain in the ass. With the s24, I can connect it to the PC and it handles exactly like a usb drive, simple drag and drop. I can even download music directly from the s24 and not even have to use my PC.
Yeah 10 years ago that was a big concern. But Music Streaming killed copy sessions. I use Spotify or Apple music
@leroyrs I have a Spotify subscription but I like to have local copies because it will never let me down

Awesome! Thanks so much
If you like customisation then it's google (android) all the way. If you dont really understand tech youll but an iphone. Thats no criticism, just a fact (no haters pls, i use both)
just think it 1000 times. if you just want basic functionalities, android offers a lot of that in less money. spending more than 1000USD in a basic phone seems like, you know, a psychological problem?
I’ve tried switching to Samsung many times however I like the ecosystem and software of apple better but at least I can say I tried android for 2 years
Having had many iPhones and many Androids, my take is. Both are great phones, but they aspire to be two different experiences, android is for the people who love the latest tech and loads of options, the iPhone is for people who want things polished and refined, yes even if its years behind in terms of features, coming from an s23 ultra, I'm ready to move back to apple, I just miss how flawless the OS works with my other apple products, my s23 is good, but I hate how clunky it feels in comparison to iPhone...
I wouldn’t call Android the latest “Tech” especially when every Android phone is running an Old Outdated 4NM processor which has practically hit its peak on performance. Apple is edging away from Samsung and other Android devices in the processor department just look at the speeds of the new iPhone 16 Pro A18 compared to other competitors and you’ll see how it just destroys them on testing.
@@Quran01264 s24 is 3nm & s25 wil be faster. 4NM means it has space for improvements. iPhones cannot improve much, particularly since iOS has inferior design with limited devices & more expensive memory to compensate. With S25 the performance will be on par & Galaxy will start to lead with spare/extra features.
@@dimiberberu 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣No!!!!!😂
Snap dragon 8 Gen 3 is the Old 4NM processor design and that will be carried on into the Samsung ultra 25 design as well 😂
The only phone that uses 3NM processor is iPhone 15 Pro & 16 Pro or the A17 & A18 pro 😂
Samsung lagging behind or will be soon, the Ultra 25 won’t be as powerful as the iPhone 16 pro.
You can’t keep overlocking the chip otherwise you’ll get major problems why do think Apple got rid and jumped in to buy the New 3NM design. The 4NM has reached the end of its life span on what is generally possible with the chip.
I think experience cannot be expressed with specs. As a long time time Android user, I switched to iPhone. The only pain I experienced was data transfer. The categories you left out are the ones that make an iPhone stand out: 1) Superior backup and sync, 2) seamless Continuity and settings l between devices is a significant workflows, 3)Apple's app quality is way up there compared to Android counterparts, 4) Superior interoperability between apps, 5) Shortcuts app adds functionality like a significant software update would (Samsung's routines app is a joke compared to shortcuts), and 6) hardware durability (Apple hardware lasts longer and is more reliable). Always take these comparison videos with a grain of sand. Best and more honest approach is to review each phone individually, and focus of the qualitative aspects more (experience using it). Reviews such as that of Jeremy Clarkson reviewing a car from an experience than a zero-sum compare/contrast ale always more elways.more educational.

16 pro max is the only option, as a Samsung user
S24 ultra and I love it, coming from a previous iPhone user
As a new S24 Ultra user, It's a very practical phone, it's useful for work and photography and there are some great stylus features you haven't mentioned like the air control and camera capture. The only 2 things i didn't like is the speaker position, this is a painful fact for mobile gamers that they can't enjoy the sound perfectly because the speaker will be completely clogged by the right hand while you holding the phone horizontally. The second thing is battery life, it's good but when i pay this amount of money it's normal to expect a better battery than my previously phones (the older one was Asus zenfon 9 and the last one was realme 12 pro plus and both was giving a longer battery life which is absolutely amazing)
I love the feel of the 24 ultra. But to be honest i switched back to my iphone 11 pro max running ios 18. As good as the 24 ultra is, it dont compare to what i get from my iphone. Wallet, iMessage, FaceTime, airdrop, calendar, reminders and shortcuts are just so good and better than what samsung offers.
@@maddetox I’m itching to buy the new s25 ultra, their screen is sooo good and the customization , and I own a windows laptop, but those things you mentioned from Apple is what keeps me with iPhone, I would add the Apple Maps are awesome in the US, much better than google maps, the reminders I haven’t found it that good since I use another app for that…Samsung has a wallet now as well… anyways, trying to balance out both and pick one lol
I can't even believe that the "bubble color" is even a factor for some people but hey to each there own, thought it was funny though you choose to mention that there at the end
The iPhone shoots in 24mp as standard and the Samsung shoots at 12mp as standard regardless of 200mp or 48mp.
It's all pixel binning for both phones. Both phones are pretty much even with the camera except for low light.

For indoor use and ecosystemic integration with other devices, it's a clear Apple win.

Just switched from S23 Ultra to iPhone 16 Pro Max and I’m so happy I did. The S23U is a great phone but it got annoying in the end. iPhone is way smoother to operate due to iOS and higher build quality. FaceID is far superior to the scanner also. I was very annoyed with the green color peeling of the sides of the Samsung even that it was always in a case and never dropped. Really shitty for a flagship device. It started peeling around the S-pen hole and grew bigger and then on the sides. The rattling sound from the camera OIS was also a quality issue that annoyed me. Great phone none the less but I like iOS more and probably never will return to android.
I used to customize and play with the S-pen the first days and weeks. After that I didn’t bother. The iPhone wins easily in daily operation smoothness. For me , iPhone is best at what you do the most with the phone

Let’s be honest, both phones will do everything we want, don’t need a geekbench score to tell me that I can open so many tabs in chrome, and the os aren’t far apart.. it’s personal choice at this point
As far as the eco system. SOme say well you need a samsung laptop/tablet to use it. That is no different than having to use an iPad/Macbook. But quickshare also works with non Samsung Computers. So Samsung eco system works with more and tests I have seen, it is faster. So in the real world you can use either one with not much compromise. ( I have used Apple's eco system and it works, but it can be finicky also where it takes a few tries or it gets delayed. SO neither one is perfect.
Samsung plays nice with Microsoft Tools (Windows 11, to do etc)
@@jefferycampbell9182 Samsung works great with any Windows computer
I just wish Samsung would put all their flagship features in the smaller S24 form. I don't want to carry around a 6.7 phone. The 6.2 screen is perfect IMO.
My iPhone 11 worked for a very long time, just upgraded to the iPhone pro 16. Eco system keeps me locked in to Apple 🍏

S24 Ultra been Rocking it since day one of release date. I keep going back and forth but honestly Samsung finally got it hopefully they continue. Oh yeah and just got the watch 7 44mm . awesome 👌
Nice!
Besides the specs numbers, in your display comparison the iPhone screen looks a bit brighter tho 🤔
iPhone display is made by Samsung 🤣🤣
Peak brightness is often measured in HDR video with automatic brightness. When it comes to manual brightness, the iPhone is brighter when you set it manually or auto when not in HDR.
Hope that helps :)
@@dylreesYT it did thanks 🙏🏻
& much more reflective so overall S24 Ultra is better experience. S25 Ultra is the right to compare, coming in 3.5mths
Hi your videos are very informative!I am switching from iPhone 15 pro to zfold 6 because after almost 10 years of pretty much the same phone I am really bored!!!Could you maybe make a video of how to transfer all our data from iPhone to android?
That's a good idea
Been a loyal user of Samsung for 2 decades, but I moved to iPhone 15 pro max late last year, I love it! Worth the price.
I see many peers around me who uses iPhones for years even up to 10 years (iPhone 16 plus), and it still works, battery is still good, except can’t use moat of the apps. Common problem of me using samsung and android phones in the past is I have to constantly buy a new phone every 1-2 years. I am not in a luxury to do that, so I would prefer to buy an iPhone and last longer. Also iPhone videography is really good, so it fits me more.
From what ive seen, the 16 pro max is the best hands down out of any other smartphone right now
❤s24 ultra can't wait to see when the s25 ultra claps back. But for a phone that 9 months old it still holds it's own, hell the s23 ultra still can stand it's ground against the 16 pro max😅
In efficency, the iPhone wins. In CPU performance, iPhone wins. In GPU performance, Snapdragon is likely to blow A18 Pro out the water (currently is about equal when heat isn't a problem). Within apps, the iPhone camera blows Android phones out the water because it's more deeply integrated. With the camera itself, iPhone's take pictures faster and have more consistent image outcome. Samsung is better when it comes to zoom and certain images. The iPhone takes the best videos. The ceramic shield focuses on drop protection, Gorilla Glass focuses on scratch resistance. Samsung has more superfluous features and will likely to continue when Apple Intelligence comes out and S25 Ultra releases.
The weaknesses of each device is likely to be the same when it the S25 Ultra is released. The true difference will be battery life. There truly isn't much innovation these days unless you take note of the smallest improvements.
@@dylreesYT in File Manager system Galaxy wins. In cross platform files sharing Galaxy wins. In system wide back button Galaxy wins. In overall user friendly software Galaxy wins.
These things matter a LOT to an average user in day to day use n should be talked about not all the jazz GPU CPU shit. These days ALL flagships have great camera, performance n battery. Peace.
Samsung DEX, Side load applications, are the most important features that iPhone doesn't have.

I've been thinking about switching back to Android after six years with Apple. I know Android has some great features and options that Apple just doesn’t offer, but the main thing holding me back is security. If my iPhone gets lost or stolen, it feels like it would be super hard for anyone to access my personal info and everything else I’ve got on there. If I’m off base on this, please let me know so I can get the right info. Thanks!

@@mrufo2297 Nothing bro, everything you say is from Android, not from Samsung, and they are relative things and generalities that manufacturers play with numbers. Samsung doesn't do anything, just wait for Android. The only thing it does is deep customization for 5-year-old children. Samsung does not have its own OS, Samsung did not create the first smartphone, nor did it create the first iPad, nor the first smart Watch, nor the first AirPods. Much less the concept of stores, much less the ecosystem. Apple made all that, and Samsung copied it, Samsung is pathetic. Learn to give what it is to its true creators. Poor Samsung will always be in the shadow of Apple
recently moved from iphone to S24ultra. never used an android before. Its been 3 weeks now getting to understand it better. Sometimes the interface seems unnecessarily complicated. People who work from phone, S24 ultra is the best choice. For people who don't... they shouldn't fry their brain cells on andoid's universe of over complications.

How do you deal with not having a back button, unable to change ringtones, unable to record calls? All the apps are not free. Thats what I miss about Android
How does it feel not being able to multitask or have a fingerprint sensor?
@@TomTomdogwhy do people think an iPhone needs a back button? Try using one 😅
@@D3ZG1978 your right. Iphone dont need a back button. You just use two hands and that will solve the problem. Your body adapts and dont notice the uncomfortable even exist. The only reason I notice it is because I use S24 and iphone at the same time.
@@camotech1314 Great. Multitasking is great. Fingerprint sensor is useless. FaceID is far more superior and convenient. I used only Samsung for 12 years and finally switched to apple. Everything just works.
Went from Android to 16 pro max. It’s 1900 euros which is steep. Just better overall to have everything in one ecosystem.
I still hate the fact that Apple still has worst men's flare and lens ghosting aswell with lights. Absolutely awful
Hey I’m looking at switching from iPhone 13. Does the Samsung have camera issues still?
No
It's pretty solid in my opinion
Definitely not switching from Samsung ✌🏾
I've jumped from Pixel 8 pro to iPhone 15 pm since jan of this year. I'm starting to look back at Galaxy Ultra phones or maybe another pixel for the pixel's voice typing capabilities because of Apple's lack of good voice transcription/ voice typing and other features. The call assist on the pixel is great to have as well, but I don't Google crappy tensor chips. The iPhone and iOS have worked incredibly well and smoothly, but they ajust don't have many features I want, and almost no AI features to speak of...... it works great but is getting stale. I have been eyeing the s25 U possibly. I will lose the ecosystem integration, amazing face ID, and the easier day to day interaction with a lot of my family since many have iPhone. But I'm getting bored !
I switched from my Samsung ultra to an iPhone 16. I’m amazed at how much Samsung have copied Apple, which is handy. However with iOS I get way deeper integrated personalisation. That’s not Samsung’s fault, that’s Google, though Android 14 has copied a lot from iOS which is handy (I’m still keeping my Sony Xperia with its 3.5mm headphone socket and sd card slot. Audio quality of the Xperia beats Samsung into the dust for wired, wireless and speaker quality. iPhone 16 pro is better for audio for wired and speakers but Xperia is better for wireless.
Great to have the choice.
I wasn’t using the stylus on my ultra and it was uncomfortable to hold compared to the Xperia and iPhone 16 pro.
Xperia has insane battery life!
Pls don't lie girl
@@AndrewTH-camhandle It's Apple that does all the copying
Apple adding features that were present in older versions of Samsung mobiles... so no buddy, Apple copies from other brands... in a few years u will see Apple making foldable mobiles which Samsung already did , but I am 100% sure that apple fanboys will then be over excited and think apply is so innovative... the word "innovation" ended with Steve Jobs... Apple is just trash now. It's only for people with money to spare.
@aezakmi1100 Yeah like Apple Intelligence, Samsung add Galaxy AI, Google follow shortly after then months later Apple Intelligence is announced along with the iPhone 16
Kinda have to remind you is not 2016 anymore, so 3.5mm and sd card isn't a thing you point out nowadays
FUNS, DON'T BE FOOLED BY APPLE'S UPDATES, I use iPhone 11 pro max, APPLE'S GREED WILL MAKE YOU UPDATE AND YOUR phone will only get slower so you buy a new phone.
I'm Definitely switching by the end of the year. BE WISE!!!
Should I switch from iOS to Android after 3 years?
Now I got 13 Pro and I’m waiting March 2025. (expiring contract) for bying new phone. I’m considering to buy S25 Ultra when it comes because iOS is so boring to me from the last 3 years. I love its simple way to use everything, it’s priced more after couple of years but it is boring.
I don’t know am I ready for that transfer in my head, is here anybody who done that this year after many years using iOS?
I think the S25 is going to be very good. The main things to consider is do you have the Apple Watch & other Apple stuff? Also how important is Airdrop to you?
@@WhatGear no I don’t, maybe you’ll laughing but I have Huawei Watch 3 Pro because I don’t like square shape of Apple Watch and 1 day battery life. That Huawei for me was most beautiful watch 2 years ago with 5 day battery life and titanium body. I don’t use much that features because in my region (Serbia) it is not widely represented and popular, here we do almost everything through Viber or WhatsApp because Apple is not widespread due to the low standard.
@@WhatGear but I don’t care about someones phones and habits, I mostly use it for calls, viber, youtube, taking pictures, editing pictures, recording and entertainment. And least of all for music, showing to others, combination with other apple devices and generally computer, etc... technically, I know what Android was, 2-3 years ago I had a Samsung S20 and I loved it the most in the world. It was not difficult for me to switch to iOS in THAT TIME, but I have a huge problem in my head to switch NOW from iOS to Android without regretting later! It seems like a psychological problem and not a technical one! 😂😂 on one side there are many iPhone users who yelling at me as a traitor, and on the other side Android sect of maaaaany brands users who yelling at me that to stop being a limited idiot with an iPhone and to enter the vast community of Androids and much greater possibilities!
I really like phones, and it means a lot to me to take something without being sad and not regretting later that I had a better choice. I am not tied to anyone's ecosystem. I just want the best phone in the next 2 years. And the choice is between 16 Pro/Max and S24/25Ultra.
@@MrSimkeNS S24 Ultra when S25 comes out will drop significantly. If you want the best then S25 Ultra has better camera hardware & S-pen BT remote control + DEX, or Huawei mate XT Ultimate 3 fold if you want packet tablet & can buy ;)
@@dimiberberu thanks for the advice, I share the same opinion with you. When the S25U comes out, then the S24U will no longer be interesting to me. My biggest fear is that the price will be too high because the operators in Serbia reduced the length of installment payments from 36 to 24 months and increased them a lot. If the prices are similar, it is very likely that I will try the Samsung one contract.
I switched over to iPhone 14pmax from galaxy. Then went 15pmax for usb c. SIRI IS A JOKE. apple accessories are excellent and seamless. Galaxy / android is just way better
I was always switching but iPhone is beyond a joke & boring af I been using galaxy phones for a long time & not going back to iOS currently have pixel 9 pro fold but going to s24 ultra but I loved the fold 5 & fold 6
Is the back gesture universal? Swipe from the edge of the screen and it goes back on any app?
Samsung rather have Samsung eco system than tied to apples costly apps ect
You’re always paying with Android. You are the payment. Paying with your data. Thats the problem.
