The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is by far the superior phone. I had the choice of going with either the iPhone 15 Pro Max or the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Since I've been in the Apple ecosystem for well over 10 years it was a no brainer at first on picking the iPhone but I'm so glad I ended up choosing the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra instead. Its the best phone I've ever owned.
Sold my S 23 ultra, when I bought my 15 Pro Max. The S23 ultra has so many more features, I love the edge panel. That’s probably my favorite feature, I just like iOS better. Yeah iOS does get boring, but it’s simple. It’s easy and apps just run a lot smoother in my opinion.
Would love to know what you think of the Google wallet compared to Apple wallet. I would love to move to Samsung but Apple wallet is just so good. What do you think?
@matthewsimon4912 I had similar concerns switching from Apple Pay to Samsung Pay because of how seamless and easy Apple Pay always was for me, so I completely understand your concern. You can rest assured, Samsung Pay is just as reliable, just as easily accessible, and just as usable. It's actually quicker to access Samsung Pay in my opinion. Using swipe gestures, all you do is swipe up from the bottom middle of the display when on the home screen and your wallet opens with whatever card or bank information you use. And of course, you can allow the Samsung Wallet to store as many payment methods as you'd like. Hope this helped. If you're even slightly considering this phone then I say go for it!
As the owner of both phones (15 Max for work and S23 Ultra for personal), they are both good. 15 Max is little smoother and great to support in a work environment. Samsung a bit more advanced with its Zoom, pen and other features. Once you get used to high power zoom and pen, it's hard to go back to Max pro. Max Pro is great for Apple ecosystem and ease of use for older people.
I also use both. Apple for work and Samsung for personal use. And I don't like Apple. It's not intuitive to use and annoying in many things. The main reasons are: no "back" button on Apple and texting with mixed languages takes more time to type in with Apple.
I had an S23 Ultra long enough to take shots of the Moon and Sun, and then I sold it. My iPhone 15 PM works better for me, and I was an Android guy from 2009 to 2020.
@@geraldthomas8241 you don´t miss the "back" button? The fingerprint sensor (its a no-go to have a cam all the time scanning you!!!!!)..? The anoying texting expirience on the iphone?
Fantastic video Aaron. Unfortunately back in June I had to ditch my 14 PM due to terrible bugs in ios 16. I chose the S23 ultra and would never look back. I find the 120hz is much smoother than pro motion and you get so much more with the camera zoom. I would never say never to iPhone again but very happy with my s23 ultra and it proves you can switch if you want to.
@leroyrs and my name used to be ashiphone14promax 🤣 I talk trash about them due to the software lately its not been a good experience never thought the day would ever come where I say android is more stable than ios I would love to go back to iPhone but I'm invested in the galaxy eco system now and I just lost trust with apple software due to the large amount of bugs. Even the ringer bug from 2020 still exists
Would love to know how you find the Google wallet compared to Apple wallet. I also want to move to Samsung but held back by the quality of Apple wallet.
@matthewsimon4912 well I actually use samsung pay but you can use Google pay as well and I would say its on par with the apple wallet you can set to double click to open. I prefer samsung pay myself although it doesn't have as much support as google wallet or apple pay.
I used the S23U for 6 months or so, it had a lot of nice features, and the camera was great, when it focused. It would often take out of focus shots, have slow shutter speed. I did follow the guides online about how to improve this but the fact is that you shouldn't have to do that. I have a 13 Pro Max now and I'm way happier. Point and click, it takes great photos every time.
both are good but I chose the s23 ultra for the features it has but... but the s24 ultra will be another machine coming in 2024... I should buy one... have a good Christmas
For me personally I’m going to choose iPhone because of my history with Samsung and their UIs. Now if you had replaced the Galaxy 23U with the Pixel 8 Pro then I’d choose both the 15PM and P8P. The 23U and 15PM are great phones nonetheless. It’s just personal preference at this point.
@@SIHRA2 Yeah same iOS just perfect os for me just simple I used to care much about customisation on android but as time went i realized its isn't important anymore to me ever since i switched to iOS don't think I'll ever go back
1.A built-in clipboard, 2.ability to edit typing by going to the exact letter, instead of entire word, 3.Secure folder built in 4. Split screen multitasking 5.S-pen 6. Fast charging 7. Reverse wireless charging. Etc etc.. goodluck apple fanboys.
I'm pretty close to 50-50 but lean slightly towards android. Have had a very good experience with the s23u. I am an spen user so that is probably my single biggest reason to remain android side. But l like the 15 pro max as well.
Great video. I’ve used both this year. Both are great phones. Neither is heads and tails above the other. s23U has some things it does better, 15ProMax has some things it does better. Really can’t go wrong with either…fanbois hyperbole notwithstanding. 😊
Excellent video! Watching on my 14plus and I'm on 17.2.1. I own a S22 Ultra and that's the one that I use the most due to it's versatility. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 😊👍
They are both great. I had the S23U for a couple months this year and loved it. The only thing was I didn’t feel like recommitting myself back to Samsung’s ecosystem which I was more immersed in a few years back. I had been an iPhone user for the past 5 years and wanted to go back to see if I could stick with a galaxy phone. I was wrong because I was already so embedded in apple’s ecosystem (i.e. MacBook, Apple Watch, AirPods, iPad)that I didn’t have the balls to go all the way back to Samsung. I will say owning the 15PM is great but also having had the S23U, in my opinion it is the overall phone of the year. Again this is just my opinion as I love both phones and respect both companies.
One thing not many people are talking about (coming from a user of both phones) is that Apple's customer service is far superior to Samsung's. You generally have a Apple store in every major city and the mail in option for repairs is far smoother with Apple. Ive heard stories in which the third party company Samsung provides repair/trade in services for often loses phones or claims that packaging arrived empty and throws it back on the customer. Never heard anything of the sort coming from Apple.
Samsung S23 Ultra is better these days. But I’m afraid that after two or three major OS updates, it will be significantly slower than iPhone. I have much better long term experiences on iPhone (I had both devices). But if you want perfect long time usage on iPhone, battery change is necessary after 2 or 3 years.
Perfect unbiased video. When you're entrenched in one of the respective ecosystems, complete them with the fitting phone and enjoy. Both are great. If you're one of the many folks nowadays who don't own another computing device, you'll most likely be happy either way.
A great video for people who have the option to choose between such vastly different and somewhat incompatible ecosystems. For those of us who are already entrenched in one of the two ecosystems, the video might not have much practical value, but it's always good to see Aaron's take on tech.
Was really really considering switching to Samsung, which would’ve meant changing every gadget, watch, tablet, AirPods etc etc. but having had a little play with the s23 ultra, the camera was so disappointing. Yes it’s very capable, but the software and how the picture ends up looking still has that Samsung look. Admittedly Samsung has alot more features and introduces new technology a lot earlier than apple. See USB C. But for what 90% of people want a phone to do, the iPhone does that perfectly and then some
I just got my iPhone 15 pro max in October. I’m Very happy with it. I’ve recorded several videos for my own TH-cam with the new phone. They’re phenomenal in quality. I really have no complaints. That being said, the Samsung phone looks amazing as well. Simply put, if you have the privilege of getting Either phone, you’re very fortunate and have a better device then most people out there
Having owned both, I'll give this to the S23 Ultra. My only "but" is that Samsung had so much to improve on from the previous gen that this was a breath of fresh air for those upgrading, the only thing different from the S22 Ultra was the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 chipset. The 15 Pro Max was a minor step up from the 13 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max which beat their Samsung counterparts in their respective year so it wasnt really impressive.
They are so different that if you ever have to choose, something went wrong. It’s like saying you have to choose between your wife, or a hot one night stand. Also applies to comparisons between macs and pcs. They shine at so different levels.
@@RithikaVId choose the Pixel 8 Pro for the camera editing features "also it looks very cool" and my iPhone 15p for daily use. Again they are all great phones including the Samsung but im just tired of these Android only people who try to shame Apple users into submission its toxic.
The very fact that the S23 ultra came out in January and yet still maintains great battery life almost a year later it's something to commend Samsung for
@@judenjilah7996mostly beta testers and people who dont charge it properly. Android companies have never implemented battery health feature, pretty convenient i’d say.
@@judenjilah7996 if you’re talking about battery health it’s the same as iPhone as it is for Samsung. They both degrade just like any lithium ion battery does Samsung just doesn’t show a percentage
The S24 Ultra comes out in January! Please compare it then as that is the iPhone 15 Pro's official competition! The S24 is considered the same generation as the iPhone 14 Pro's!
Time to break the grip the shame and embrace both Android and iOS. As an iPhone 15 Pro Max user, salute to the mighty Samsung S23 Ultra I hope to get as well and enjoy the best of both worlds
I am completely committed to the Apple ecosystem. iPhone. iPad. MacBook. Apple Watch. That being said. The S23 Ultra is MILES ahead of the iPhone. To the point that I’m amazed at how much of a joke the iPhone is next to the Samsung. But…. Apple has some serious security. That’s why I put up with the inferior hardware.
The iPhone is a mass product and produced in way more capacity as the S23 Ultra is. There is simply not enough ultra high class components in the world to meet the demand. That being said the hardware of the iPhone is impressive…except the battery and ultra wide camera.
Nah iphone is pretty cool for me, both are just as fast if not the iPhone being slightly faster in day to day use which more software updates, iPhone battery lasts slightly longer but it's basically the same, idk why you're saying largely inferior tech? What exactly do you want?
When you say security what do you mean ? Samsung has samsungknox and Google play protect. Additionally monthly security patches and app tracking options. I'm not sure what more you could want in the security sector.
My take is this, if you're the type of person who point and shoot and post straight outta socmed then ip15pm is for you, but if you're the type who's willing to take time to study how to shoot with S23 cameras then S23U will give you far better pics than i15pm can give. I've been an apple user since the 4s up to 14s and believe me, I myself didn't expect I'd love this S23U so much that it grew in me day by day. 👌
Maybe take a look at the S10 /20/21/22/23 then revise your comment 😂 Samsung is nothing more than an IPhone wannabe who’s very existence stems from the original iPhone design.
Samsung phones are nice but the camera isn’t that good, 15 pro max blows the s23U away. Too much bloat on the Samsung as well. The upgrades are getting smaller and smaller no matter the brand because the industry as a whole is at a plateau.
@@EricTheGreat508 The camera on the 23 Ultra is definitely not blown away by the iPhone idk who told you that or what you've seen. The apps built into the Samsung devices can be disabled. Even with the bloatware the Samsung device is a better full package device. The chips in the iPhone aren't as great as theyre made out to be either. The 15 Pro Max definitely takes a trip to glitch city I've seen it on performance tests. If you prefer Apple thats fine, but don't make bogus claims. Even the customer ratings on the carrier websites show a clear higher customer satisfaction woth the 23 Ultra over the 15 pro max. iPhone useres in the review section complaining and giving it an overall 3.5 star rating compared to over 10K ratings on the S23 Ultra and its at a 4.8 star rating. Also, not the entire industry is at a plateau because Google keeps adding AMAZING camera features and post editing features built into the software that other devices just can't do without Google's software. Samsung is constantly adding newer features to their devices and the thing can even turm into a desktop computer. Apple's plateau is evident especially if you compare the 14 line and the 15 line. They have no real good features to differentiate the devices, so they do this weird thing that even 2 iPhones with the same processors and that are Pros cant even do the same stuff. Why is the Pro missing frstures that the Pro Max has and they share internals?
I literally got a hold of the s23 ultra today the frontal camera is not all of that, i dont like the rectangular boxy design i personally find it boring, some ppl are saying s23 ultra is a game changer and hardly comparable with iphone 15 pro max and i personally dont see it. PERSONALLY, i prefer the iphone 15 pro max and im looking to get it
It is great hearing someone intelligent explaining things for a change. Your presentation was very professional and so unbiased it's honestly hard to decide. I thought more of the Apple photos were much nicer with more color and of course I enjoyed seeing the differences in the racing game which I like the Iphone 15 pro max a little better. I have always had an android phone and I may wait a couple of weeks for the S24 to come out. Thank you for this information and I will watch this video again. Ray
Great video. You’re the only reviewer that cares about PWM and I am very grateful for that since it too bothers me. The way Apple handles PWM and fitness+ are the main reasons I use Apple. If Samsung or Pixel could figure that out… Looking forward to the next video.
So so I've been an iPhone user for about 8 years I have an Apple TV but this year in September I decided to go with us 23 ultra and I'm very happy with it the battery life is amazing the charging speed compared to the iPhone is so much more faster I'm having a really good experience overall with the s23 ultra I don't miss my iPhone but I do miss FaceTime lol
MY 2023 list : 1. Huawei mate x5 foldable 1 tb simply brilliant it has absolutely everything devoid of nothing 2. My glorious incredible Samsung s23 ultra most fun phone ive ever owned 3. ONE PLUS OPEN good hinge 4. XIAOMI MIX FOLD 3 excellent design 5. PIXEL 8 PRO impressive AI 6. Iphone 15 pro max 1 tb great video and excellent clean implementation of their AI voice accessibility feature The Huawei mate x5 fold is phenomenal. It has micro SD card, every camera is incredible, 3 to 5 day battery, stylus pen works every screen , big front screen, emergency satellite crash etc it's amazing and I'm a big Samsung fan The iphone 15 pro max is my favorite iPhone but it can't compare to any of those androids with its limitations and many of those features like programmable side key and USB C Samsung has had for years Too many limitations with the iphone . I started with the iphone Years ago . I first transitioned with the samsung s10 plus and then now my s23 Ultra and next year z fold 6. The s pen gestures and utilization of camera from a distance , multi tasking, 10 x zoom , samsung dex and flow , Nintendo emulators of super smash bros ans Mario oddyseey, astrophotography of constellations, better photo editing, customization of theme and keyboard, copy and paste clipboard, better AI capabilities, things like micro sd card, music ring tone customization, how you can download anything from anywhere at anytime , foldable innovation etc . Thats why Samsung , Huawei, Xiaomi and Google Pixel 8 pro are superior to the iPhone. The iPhone is based on simplicity which is good for some but I'll never accept being forced to use e Sim to go back to it I use the s pen stylus every week on my s23 ultra for screen shots , volume gestures , precise AI photo editing , photos from a distance, and for typing and texting when my fingers get tired. It's one of the main reasons I like it more than the 15 pro max
It’s not about the cell phone anymore for the last 5 years at least. It’s about the PLATFORM: Apple Watch+iPhone+iPad+Mac+TV+iCloud working together as a single virtual device. And you choose the best device according to the job to be completed. Apple is the best platform available.
I guess you don’t know anything about samsung ecosystem too,Phones can be paired with pretty much most samsung devices,laptop,tablet,watch,tv,microwave,laundry machine etc…so much more.Do your research and try a different world.I find this whole apple ecosystem overrated because i am actually using both ecosystem and don’t understand the hype over apple
@@Joker-yu5kp my solution is Apple, just Apple. Your solution is Samsung (devices) + Google (mobile OS) + Microsoft (desktop OS) and praying they never fight each other. Apple can integrate MacOS + iOS anyway it wants, for example. Can you do the same with MS-Windows + Google Android? And on top of a Samsung device?? Apple is years ahead with its highly integrated technology, from microprocessors to devices to consumer software. The name of the game is Handoff anywhere anytime.
Great video. Many thanks. Would I be able to request you to do a comparison between Apple wallet and Google wallet? I’m heavily reliant on my digital wallet and would love to know which one works better
Just lower the saturation or film or photograph in expert raw or pro mode. I prefer the flexibility of the 23 ultra. Here in Brazil, the 15 pro max costs twice the price and caused the 15 mp to lose a lot of sales. This year Samsung nailed it, let's see how the 24ultra does.
The s23u is just the better phone overall even if your a hardcore Apple fan you have to admit the s23u brings it the 15pm is great as well you can’t go wrong with either I currently have a 14pm it’s a great phone I’ll be honest I’m waiting on the s24u once Apple brings rcs it’s gonna be a game changer
iPhone 15 Pro. I had S23 Ultra but was totally disappointed with the camera. It is way overhyped. The pictures look extremely overprocessed and artificially oversharpened (in Auto mode) and the telecameras were quite bad when the light was not sufficient and it suffered from terrible flare effect. iPhone has much more natural look of the photos. It occasionally does not hit perfect white balance but it can be easily corrected in post. iPhone 15 Pro Max is too big. iPhone15 Pro is perfect.
@@EDIBre I had the S23 ultra, I had no problems with lag. Everything great. The cameras are good but not in everything. I now have the iPhone 15 pro max and what strikes me; the video camera is a bit better, the zooming in and out is a bit better and the photos in the dark are also better. iPhone is the king in camera for me. S23 ultra has other advantages; Taking long screenshots is best with the Samsung, with the iPhone I have to do it via the safari browser, which is a shame. Still a plus to the video camera of the S23 ultra; I can pause while filming, but I find it annoying that the iPhone can't do that.
Apple need to step their game tight too many benefits to using an Android compared to an iPhone in this new age. The feature that made me give up on Apple is the restriction to multitask, the battery, and camera are all better on the S23 ultra. Samsung it lets you customize everything to make your phone feel fresh every damn day. The only. Current value an iPhone has are the strong security, solid build hardware and after market price value. Apart from this three Iphone can't compete with the S23 ultra. That phone is on another level just purchased my a week ago after owing 14 pro Max nearly one year. I STILL LOVE APPLE AND CANT LEAVE
Nice video, i tested the 15 pro max in pubg mobile and it dimms after 30 mins on 90 fps and drops frame with the s23 plus i dont get that. I like that with samsung quickshare has the option to share a link to non Galaxy users.
S23U is a great phone. But let's be honest. I don't think that an average user needs major zoom capabilities But he mostly needs great portrait and And selfie camera Cause those are the the most common types of pictures people upload in social media. So i would prefer iphone 15 pro max . ios is much smoother and i m talking as an android user since my childhood
@nikkosr888 for me there just no upgrades to it. It's the same thing as the last models. I've been experiencing freezes and stuff also like it's just not worth it at all
I own and operate both Galaxy S23 and iPhone 13 on a daily basis and honesty, I prefer S23 over everything on iPhone. I needed to get iPhone 13 only because of my existing Apple Ecosystem. That being said, I am willing to completely ditch andriod if Apple offers 120Hz display (ProMotion) on the base iPhone.
Am i the lucky one to get a christmas gift from Zollo? Merry Christmas and thank you for an amazing 2023 almost daily update, i was so amazed by how you could cover so much info on just iphone and apple and my ios is up to date because of your vids. Thank you.
Thanks about the screen flickering when dimmed! That bothers me, too, and I didn’t know why. Deal killer for me. I do prefer the four prime focal lengths in the Samsung, but hey, MKBHD says he and his crew found the 15 Pro Max video to be hands down the best from any phone in 2023, so who am I to argue with him?!
I remember watching your samsung fascinate review Aaron! We have come a far way in 2024 you could honestly buy a mid range phone and be ok time flies! Keep up the good work!
Most people who comment have not owned and used both long term, so unless you have, your opinions are irrelevant. I owned the s23 ultra for 7 months and now the 15 pro max for a while, the s23 ultra on paper has more bells and whistles, but I would pick the 15 pro max hands down for day to day use.
Why would you take the 15 for daily use over the s23? I’m not trolling either. I came from a note 10 plus to a 13 pro max. I am considering getting the s24 ultra.
I think for a very large number of users, the phones no longer matter what they run, it's more about eco-systems. The speeds and smoothness tiny differences are always noticeable when comparing things side by side. And the OSes long reached feature parity too, what you choose is often mostly dependent on your use case and what eco-system you invested too much in already. The rest of people complaining about bugs and stuff, that happens on both systems, it's the nature of the heavy systems we run these days, mostly.
So this is what i found out recently which could help you understand how better the software experience ios is as compared to android…. I am a big fan of HDR videos and i ran cross compatibility tests between the two phones 14 pro and S23. The iphone runs the hdr videos shot on itself as well as on S23 all fine…. But but but….s23 doesn’t seem to like the dolby vision format of iphone videos… in its gallery app it struggles with fully creating hdr effect while watching the video in potrait orientation. Turning the phone to landscape solves the issue. Also related to the same thing…. In instagram on android hdr videos only work well while we are watching them as a reel… in post form hdr effects fails to show… which is not the case with iphone. Thank u if u made it till the last of this super nerd talk 🙃
When I was younger (or maybe earlier in technology) I use to watch these type of videos. But now that I am 70, I skip these comparison videos of comparisons. Your reviews are excellent, but I guess I’ve changed. (Didn’t finish this comparison.)
I have all apple products but??? S23 is the best phone ever made even though iPhone has a better processor still all the functionality of s23 ultra overwhelms apple products... I'm trying to go back to all samsung ❤ for now still on ecosystem on apple....
I recently purchased the new iPhone 15 Pro Max because I wanted to see what I had been missing over the last five years. What I'll say is that the battery life truly is better on iOS. Standby drain is nonexistent, every Android phone I've owned no matter what will drain some amount of battery if left unplugged overnight. With the iPhone that did not happen. Usability wise though, almost immediately I noticed how poor things like the keyboard still are with the iPhone. On Android it just feels so much more useful, having the dedicated comma button and period button should be mandatory. Also even with the titanium, it's a tank of a device. The S22U feels significantly less despite the display being taller and about the same width. The default iPhone messages app I will say has a lot of features that are useful besides iMessage. I like being able to haptic touch a conversation to preview notifications. On Android this is not yet a thing.
I'm a s23 ultra user have been since release,phone of the year for me .ios has improved this year in cameras. both a good choice depends what you prefer android or ios
Hey Aaron, I am using the iPhone 15 pro, finally getting the lidar sensor lol!!!! I am on the iOS 17.3 developer beta, it’s ok, I have a lot to bugs. My question is, what app are you using to look at heat temperature of phone?
My wife has just purchased an iPhone 15 pro Max. It's not even 8 weeks old, and it's all ready needing to be force restarted due to a black screen of death.
I chose the iPhone 15 pro Max because the IOS can be updated for a long period of time. For example, the iPad pro 9.7 2016 (ax9) can still be updated in 2023. 😀👍🏻
iPhone 15 pro max, with a small difference, S23 ultra as number 2. I had/have both. Why iPhone number 1 for me? Personal opinion and experinece; video camera is better and photos in a darkroom with not much light is much better on the iPhone. Samsung still has to work on this further to close the gap. The video camera is good, but not yet good enough to keep up with the iPhone. Still a plus to the video camera of the S23 ultra; I can pause while filming, but I find it annoying that the iPhone can't do that.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is by far the superior phone. I had the choice of going with either the iPhone 15 Pro Max or the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Since I've been in the Apple ecosystem for well over 10 years it was a no brainer at first on picking the iPhone but I'm so glad I ended up choosing the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra instead. Its the best phone I've ever owned.
Good choice!!
Experience is better on iphone, optmized apps and smooth OS. Imo, i use samsung for work, and iphone for personal use.

@@SIHRA2 Yeah same iOS just perfect os for me just simple I used to care much about customisation on android but as time went i realized its isn't important anymore to me ever since i switched to iOS don't think I'll ever go back
1.A built-in clipboard, 2.ability to edit typing by going to the exact letter, instead of entire word, 3.Secure folder built in 4. Split screen multitasking 5.S-pen 6. Fast charging 7. Reverse wireless charging. Etc etc.. goodluck apple fanboys.
I'm pretty close to 50-50 but lean slightly towards android. Have had a very good experience with the s23u. I am an spen user so that is probably my single biggest reason to remain android side. But l like the 15 pro max as well.
Great video. I’ve used both this year. Both are great phones. Neither is heads and tails above the other. s23U has some things it does better, 15ProMax has some things it does better. Really can’t go wrong with either…fanbois hyperbole notwithstanding. 😊
Excellent video! Watching on my 14plus and I'm on 17.2.1. I own a S22 Ultra and that's the one that I use the most due to it's versatility. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 😊👍
They are both great. I had the S23U for a couple months this year and loved it. The only thing was I didn’t feel like recommitting myself back to Samsung’s ecosystem which I was more immersed in a few years back. I had been an iPhone user for the past 5 years and wanted to go back to see if I could stick with a galaxy phone. I was wrong because I was already so embedded in apple’s ecosystem (i.e. MacBook, Apple Watch, AirPods, iPad)that I didn’t have the balls to go all the way back to Samsung. I will say owning the 15PM is great but also having had the S23U, in my opinion it is the overall phone of the year. Again this is just my opinion as I love both phones and respect both companies.
One thing not many people are talking about (coming from a user of both phones) is that Apple's customer service is far superior to Samsung's. You generally have a Apple store in every major city and the mail in option for repairs is far smoother with Apple. Ive heard stories in which the third party company Samsung provides repair/trade in services for often loses phones or claims that packaging arrived empty and throws it back on the customer. Never heard anything of the sort coming from Apple.
Samsung S23 Ultra is better these days. But I’m afraid that after two or three major OS updates, it will be significantly slower than iPhone. I have much better long term experiences on iPhone (I had both devices). But if you want perfect long time usage on iPhone, battery change is necessary after 2 or 3 years.
Perfect unbiased video. When you're entrenched in one of the respective ecosystems, complete them with the fitting phone and enjoy. Both are great. If you're one of the many folks nowadays who don't own another computing device, you'll most likely be happy either way.
A great video for people who have the option to choose between such vastly different and somewhat incompatible ecosystems.
For those of us who are already entrenched in one of the two ecosystems, the video might not have much practical value, but it's always good to see Aaron's take on tech.
S23 ultra definitely❤. Thanks for the video.
Was really really considering switching to Samsung, which would’ve meant changing every gadget, watch, tablet, AirPods etc etc. but having had a little play with the s23 ultra, the camera was so disappointing. Yes it’s very capable, but the software and how the picture ends up looking still has that Samsung look. Admittedly Samsung has alot more features and introduces new technology a lot earlier than apple. See USB C. But for what 90% of people want a phone to do, the iPhone does that perfectly and then some
I just got my iPhone 15 pro max in October. I’m Very happy with it. I’ve recorded several videos for my own TH-cam with the new phone. They’re phenomenal in quality. I really have no complaints. That being said, the Samsung phone looks amazing as well. Simply put, if you have the privilege of getting Either phone, you’re very fortunate and have a better device then most people out there
Love my sgs23 ultra ❤❤❤ just sold my Google pixel 7 Pro
Nice video for Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas Eve. 😊🎄🎁❄️⛄️☃️
Damn good photos from both i must say but the iPhone looks more real to life 😊
iPhone lasts for many years and has more premium materials, smooth iOS, more secure, better camera with natural colors, better processor
Having owned both, I'll give this to the S23 Ultra. My only "but" is that Samsung had so much to improve on from the previous gen that this was a breath of fresh air for those upgrading, the only thing different from the S22 Ultra was the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 chipset. The 15 Pro Max was a minor step up from the 13 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max which beat their Samsung counterparts in their respective year so it wasnt really impressive.
S23 Ultra matches almost all of my needs. 15 Pro Max, only some. Choice is easy 😏.
Thank you zollo finally it’s here 😊😊
Merry Christmas To you & your family Aaron.
Merry Christmas
Have to go with the iPhone, using a 13 now might get it in the future 😜
Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Merry Christmas
They are so different that if you ever have to choose, something went wrong. It’s like saying you have to choose between your wife, or a hot one night stand. Also applies to comparisons between macs and pcs. They shine at so different levels.
why not have both 😉
True... nice analysis 😂
@@RithikaV true
@@RithikaVId choose the Pixel 8 Pro for the camera editing features "also it looks very cool" and my iPhone 15p for daily use. Again they are all great phones including the Samsung but im just tired of these Android only people who try to shame Apple users into submission its toxic.
😂 I will take oNS
The very fact that the S23 ultra came out in January and yet still maintains great battery life almost a year later it's something to commend Samsung for
And iphone 14 pro max don't have good battery after 1,25 year?
@@Skyppler3111 yes, the battery health of the recent iPhones tanks like crazy
@@judenjilah7996mostly beta testers and people who dont charge it properly. Android companies have never implemented battery health feature, pretty convenient i’d say.
@@judenjilah7996 if you’re talking about battery health it’s the same as iPhone as it is for Samsung. They both degrade just like any lithium ion battery does Samsung just doesn’t show a percentage
All in all S23 Ultra is a better phone, I’m an iPhone user.
The S24 Ultra comes out in January! Please compare it then as that is the iPhone 15 Pro's official competition! The S24 is considered the same generation as the iPhone 14 Pro's!
Merry Christmas, Aaron! 🎄
I have both phones the s23 ultra and the 15 pro max... always go Back to my s23 ultra feels alot smoother and faster in a lot of ways
Same feeling here,it’s faster but i find the iphone smoother in transition
@Joker-yu5kp only in the camera switching lens
@@Est33n the animation is also smoother on iphone honestly speaking.Samsung needs to work on animations
Up till to-date the best wallpaper i get. Highly appreciate Aron i am collecting your wallpapers from years.
Merry Christmas Aaron!
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the comparison. Christmas blessings to you.
Time to break the grip the shame and embrace both Android and iOS. As an iPhone 15 Pro Max user, salute to the mighty Samsung S23 Ultra I hope to get as well and enjoy the best of both worlds
Mic of S23u was so much better
I am completely committed to the Apple ecosystem. iPhone. iPad. MacBook. Apple Watch. That being said. The S23 Ultra is MILES ahead of the iPhone. To the point that I’m amazed at how much of a joke the iPhone is next to the Samsung. But…. Apple has some serious security. That’s why I put up with the inferior hardware.
What does it have ? Gimmicky camera features that's it don't start with the S pen
The iPhone is a mass product and produced in way more capacity as the S23 Ultra is. There is simply not enough ultra high class components in the world to meet the demand. That being said the hardware of the iPhone is impressive…except the battery and ultra wide camera.
Nah iphone is pretty cool for me, both are just as fast if not the iPhone being slightly faster in day to day use which more software updates, iPhone battery lasts slightly longer but it's basically the same, idk why you're saying largely inferior tech? What exactly do you want?
When you say security what do you mean ? Samsung has samsungknox and Google play protect. Additionally monthly security patches and app tracking options. I'm not sure what more you could want in the security sector.
The only way I find the iPhone lacking in day to day life is when it comes to charging speeds…
My take is this, if you're the type of person who point and shoot and post straight outta socmed then ip15pm is for you, but if you're the type who's willing to take time to study how to shoot with S23 cameras then S23U will give you far better pics than i15pm can give. I've been an apple user since the 4s up to 14s and believe me, I myself didn't expect I'd love this S23U so much that it grew in me day by day. 👌
Samsung is way better. Iphone has been lame for years. They keep pumping out the same phone year after year.
Maybe take a look at the S10 /20/21/22/23 then revise your comment 😂 Samsung is nothing more than an IPhone wannabe who’s very existence stems from the original iPhone design.
Samsung phones are nice but the camera isn’t that good, 15 pro max blows the s23U away. Too much bloat on the Samsung as well. The upgrades are getting smaller and smaller no matter the brand because the industry as a whole is at a plateau.
@@EricTheGreat508 The camera on the 23 Ultra is definitely not blown away by the iPhone idk who told you that or what you've seen. The apps built into the Samsung devices can be disabled. Even with the bloatware the Samsung device is a better full package device. The chips in the iPhone aren't as great as theyre made out to be either. The 15 Pro Max definitely takes a trip to glitch city I've seen it on performance tests. If you prefer Apple thats fine, but don't make bogus claims. Even the customer ratings on the carrier websites show a clear higher customer satisfaction woth the 23 Ultra over the 15 pro max. iPhone useres in the review section complaining and giving it an overall 3.5 star rating compared to over 10K ratings on the S23 Ultra and its at a 4.8 star rating. Also, not the entire industry is at a plateau because Google keeps adding AMAZING camera features and post editing features built into the software that other devices just can't do without Google's software. Samsung is constantly adding newer features to their devices and the thing can even turm into a desktop computer. Apple's plateau is evident especially if you compare the 14 line and the 15 line. They have no real good features to differentiate the devices, so they do this weird thing that even 2 iPhones with the same processors and that are Pros cant even do the same stuff. Why is the Pro missing frstures that the Pro Max has and they share internals?
I literally got a hold of the s23 ultra today the frontal camera is not all of that, i dont like the rectangular boxy design i personally find it boring, some ppl are saying s23 ultra is a game changer and hardly comparable with iphone 15 pro max and i personally dont see it. PERSONALLY, i prefer the iphone 15 pro max and im looking to get it
@@elit1541 you will love the 15 pro max
It is great hearing someone intelligent explaining things for a change. Your presentation was very professional and so unbiased it's honestly hard to decide. I thought more of the Apple photos were much nicer with more color and of course I enjoyed seeing the differences in the racing game which I like the Iphone 15 pro max a little better. I have always had an android phone and I may wait a couple of weeks for the S24 to come out. Thank you for this information and I will watch this video again. Ray
Great video. You’re the only reviewer that cares about PWM and I am very grateful for that since it too bothers me.
The way Apple handles PWM and fitness+ are the main reasons I use Apple. If Samsung or Pixel could figure that out…
Looking forward to the next video.
So so I've been an iPhone user for about 8 years I have an Apple TV but this year in September I decided to go with us 23 ultra and I'm very happy with it the battery life is amazing the charging speed compared to the iPhone is so much more faster I'm having a really good experience overall with the s23 ultra I don't miss my iPhone but I do miss FaceTime lol
MY 2023 list :
1. Huawei mate x5 foldable 1 tb simply brilliant it has absolutely everything devoid of nothing
2. My glorious incredible Samsung s23 ultra most fun phone ive ever owned
3. ONE PLUS OPEN good hinge
4. XIAOMI MIX FOLD 3 excellent design
5. PIXEL 8 PRO impressive AI
6. Iphone 15 pro max 1 tb great video and excellent clean implementation of their AI voice accessibility feature
The Huawei mate x5 fold is phenomenal. It has micro SD card, every camera is incredible, 3 to 5 day battery, stylus pen works every screen , big front screen, emergency satellite crash etc it's amazing and I'm a big Samsung fan
The iphone 15 pro max is my favorite iPhone but it can't compare to any of those androids with its limitations and many of those features like programmable side key and USB C Samsung has had for years
Too many limitations with the iphone . I started with the iphone Years ago . I first transitioned with the samsung s10 plus and then now my s23 Ultra and next year z fold 6. The s pen gestures and utilization of camera from a distance , multi tasking, 10 x zoom , samsung dex and flow , Nintendo emulators of super smash bros ans Mario oddyseey, astrophotography of constellations, better photo editing, customization of theme and keyboard, copy and paste clipboard, better AI capabilities, things like micro sd card, music ring tone customization, how you can download anything from anywhere at anytime , foldable innovation etc . Thats why Samsung , Huawei, Xiaomi and Google Pixel 8 pro are superior to the iPhone. The iPhone is based on simplicity which is good for some but I'll never accept being forced to use e Sim to go back to it
I use the s pen stylus every week on my s23 ultra for screen shots , volume gestures , precise AI photo editing , photos from a distance, and for typing and texting when my fingers get tired. It's one of the main reasons I like it more than the 15 pro max
Fantatic Review. Was Taken aback when i saw you review a Samsung. But it was a very good one.
It’s not about the cell phone anymore for the last 5 years at least. It’s about the PLATFORM: Apple Watch+iPhone+iPad+Mac+TV+iCloud working together as a single virtual device. And you choose the best device according to the job to be completed. Apple is the best platform available.
I guess you don’t know anything about samsung ecosystem too,Phones can be paired with pretty much most samsung devices,laptop,tablet,watch,tv,microwave,laundry machine etc…so much more.Do your research and try a different world.I find this whole apple ecosystem overrated because i am actually using both ecosystem and don’t understand the hype over apple
@@Joker-yu5kp my solution is Apple, just Apple. Your solution is Samsung (devices) + Google (mobile OS) + Microsoft (desktop OS) and praying they never fight each other. Apple can integrate MacOS + iOS anyway it wants, for example. Can you do the same with MS-Windows + Google Android? And on top of a Samsung device?? Apple is years ahead with its highly integrated technology, from microprocessors to devices to consumer software. The name of the game is Handoff anywhere anytime.
Great video. Many thanks. Would I be able to request you to do a comparison between Apple wallet and Google wallet? I’m heavily reliant on my digital wallet and would love to know which one works better
Really good non biased comparison
Both amazing phones, have been using Iphones for the last 5 years it but it's time to try the new Samsung s24 ultra 2024. Can't wait!
The S23 ultra is the best phone ever made until now coming from an experience iphone user s23 ultra is KING
Just lower the saturation or film or photograph in expert raw or pro mode. I prefer the flexibility of the 23 ultra. Here in Brazil, the 15 pro max costs twice the price and caused the 15 mp to lose a lot of sales. This year Samsung nailed it, let's see how the 24ultra does.
The s23u is just the better phone overall even if your a hardcore Apple fan you have to admit the s23u brings it the 15pm is great as well you can’t go wrong with either I currently have a 14pm it’s a great phone I’ll be honest I’m waiting on the s24u once Apple brings rcs it’s gonna be a game changer
Got your notification aaron 1 minute ago
iPhone all the way! Happy year end festivities for you and your family Aaron as well as a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thank you for all your invaluable help!
Watching a video of S23 ultra and iPhone 15 pro max and TH-cam showed me an ad of a Poco phone
iPhone 15 Pro. I had S23 Ultra but was totally disappointed with the camera. It is way overhyped. The pictures look extremely overprocessed and artificially oversharpened (in Auto mode) and the telecameras were quite bad when the light was not sufficient and it suffered from terrible flare effect. iPhone has much more natural look of the photos. It occasionally does not hit perfect white balance but it can be easily corrected in post. iPhone 15 Pro Max is too big. iPhone15 Pro is perfect.
This is so true. I have the iphone 15 pro max and the s23 ultra and the ultra is a messy laggy phone.
@@EDIBre I had the S23 ultra, I had no problems with lag. Everything great.
The cameras are good but not in everything. I now have the iPhone 15 pro max and what strikes me; the video camera is a bit better, the zooming in and out is a bit better and the photos in the dark are also better. iPhone is the king in camera for me. S23 ultra has other advantages; Taking long screenshots is best with the Samsung, with the iPhone I have to do it via the safari browser, which is a shame.
Still a plus to the video camera of the S23 ultra; I can pause while filming, but I find it annoying that the iPhone can't do that.
@@FlubFlubber15 pro max is the only perfect phone so a must have.
Apple need to step their game tight too many benefits to using an Android compared to an iPhone in this new age. The feature that made me give up on Apple is the restriction to multitask, the battery, and camera are all better on the S23 ultra. Samsung it lets you customize everything to make your phone feel fresh every damn day. The only. Current value an iPhone has are the strong security, solid build hardware and after market price value. Apart from this three Iphone can't compete with the S23 ultra. That phone is on another level just purchased my a week ago after owing 14 pro Max nearly one year. I STILL LOVE APPLE AND CANT LEAVE
After 13 years on iPhone, I’m excited to get the S24. Apples refusal to give us the basic features n charge a premium is the main reason why.
Dude the S24 ultra hasn’t be out yet!!!
@@minecraftmobilegaming5467 😂. Still excited for a phone release. As r many others. It’s a pretty common phenomenon.
@@minecraftmobilegaming5467 He said to get , not he got genus !
Nice video, i tested the 15 pro max in pubg mobile and it dimms after 30 mins on 90 fps and drops frame with the s23 plus i dont get that. I like that with samsung quickshare has the option to share a link to non Galaxy users.
S23 ultra
iPhone 15 Max Pro 👍
Did you get another PM ? Why it's not your Blue one ?
S23U is a great phone. But let's be honest. I don't think that an average user needs major zoom capabilities But he mostly needs great portrait and And selfie camera Cause those are the the most common types of pictures people upload in social media. So i would prefer iphone 15 pro max . ios is much smoother and i m talking as an android user since my childhood
Very well presented,very informative.Current iPhone X user, deciding on what to upgrade to.
I have used S23U since it's first released in 2023, and I have nothing to complain about.
S23 ultra is king as I am typing on the 15 pro max but I’m going back to my s23 ultra though this iPhone is trash
@solarcj9313 I was actually thinking about buying an iPhone 15 PM. What are the drawbacks with iPhone 15?
@nikkosr888 for me there just no upgrades to it. It's the same thing as the last models. I've been experiencing freezes and stuff also like it's just not worth it at all
@solarcj9313 Freezes on the iPhone 15 pro? That's surprising 😮. I've never experienced freezing or bug with my S23U so far.
Samsung is my favorite phone because i hate iPhone so much due to boringness, and apple id
Did anyone notice the brightness difference S23 ultra sustained higher brightness for longer even under heavy workloads
Too bright. Hurts and damages the eyes.
I own and operate both Galaxy S23 and iPhone 13 on a daily basis and honesty, I prefer S23 over everything on iPhone.
I needed to get iPhone 13 only because of my existing Apple Ecosystem. That being said, I am willing to completely ditch andriod if Apple offers 120Hz display (ProMotion) on the base iPhone.
I doubt they will, as that's the biggest selling point of the "Pro" series to begin with.
@@jamesmoore1396 you are exactly right that's why I don't see myself ditching Android anytime soon.
Am i the lucky one to get a christmas gift from Zollo? Merry Christmas and thank you for an amazing 2023 almost daily update, i was so amazed by how you could cover so much info on just iphone and apple and my ios is up to date because of your vids. Thank you.
S23U is faster than the 15pm. Very impressive by Samsung
S23 ultra best phone of the year in my opinion
Anyone excited for the S24 Ultra? I do!
Zollotech makes the best videos ever 😊
23 ultra is excellent. Fast, great camera, great screen. Zero complaints
The video camera could still be improved and the photos in, for example, a dark room with little light should also be better.
Thanks about the screen flickering when dimmed! That bothers me, too, and I didn’t know why. Deal killer for me. I do prefer the four prime focal lengths in the Samsung, but hey, MKBHD says he and his crew found the 15 Pro Max video to be hands down the best from any phone in 2023, so who am I to argue with him?!
I remember watching your samsung fascinate review Aaron! We have come a far way in 2024 you could honestly buy a mid range phone and be ok time flies! Keep up the good work!
Most people who comment have not owned and used both long term, so unless you have, your opinions are irrelevant. I owned the s23 ultra for 7 months and now the 15 pro max for a while, the s23 ultra on paper has more bells and whistles, but I would pick the 15 pro max hands down for day to day use.
Why would you take the 15 for daily use over the s23?
I’m not trolling either. I came from a note 10 plus to a 13 pro max. I am considering getting the s24 ultra.
I think for a very large number of users, the phones no longer matter what they run, it's more about eco-systems. The speeds and smoothness tiny differences are always noticeable when comparing things side by side. And the OSes long reached feature parity too, what you choose is often mostly dependent on your use case and what eco-system you invested too much in already. The rest of people complaining about bugs and stuff, that happens on both systems, it's the nature of the heavy systems we run these days, mostly.
So this is what i found out recently which could help you understand how better the software experience ios is as compared to android…. I am a big fan of HDR videos and i ran cross compatibility tests between the two phones 14 pro and S23. The iphone runs the hdr videos shot on itself as well as on S23 all fine…. But but but….s23 doesn’t seem to like the dolby vision format of iphone videos… in its gallery app it struggles with fully creating hdr effect while watching the video in potrait orientation. Turning the phone to landscape solves the issue. Also related to the same thing…. In instagram on android hdr videos only work well while we are watching them as a reel… in post form hdr effects fails to show… which is not the case with iphone. Thank u if u made it till the last of this super nerd talk 🙃
I’ve read somewhere, don’t remember where, that the next iPhone (iPhone 16 pro max) will have/get a bigger screen.
Do you have any info on that?
When I was younger (or maybe earlier in technology) I use to watch these type of videos.
But now that I am 70, I skip these comparison videos of comparisons.
Your reviews are excellent, but I guess I’ve changed.
(Didn’t finish this comparison.)
I haven’t used an Android since 2017
I have all apple products but??? S23 is the best phone ever made even though iPhone has a better processor still all the functionality of s23 ultra overwhelms apple products... I'm trying to go back to all samsung ❤ for now still on ecosystem on apple....
I'd buy S23U even if the other phone was cheaper. The level of customization is unbelievable.
The level of viruses is unbelievable too
@@BossTrentwhat a manchild you are😅 Aren't you ashamed to be all grown up Baldy and making nonsensical comments?
To be honest any one that's saying iphone is the phone of the year are lying fullstop..... I switched from iPhone and I'm never Ever going back
Here i am.. i had a s23 ultra now 15 pro max, want me to list the problems?
Everyone pretending to have an absolute answer to something that at the end of the day has a lot of subjectivity on it is lying.
Its subjective on your needs
I recently purchased the new iPhone 15 Pro Max because I wanted to see what I had been missing over the last five years. What I'll say is that the battery life truly is better on iOS. Standby drain is nonexistent, every Android phone I've owned no matter what will drain some amount of battery if left unplugged overnight. With the iPhone that did not happen. Usability wise though, almost immediately I noticed how poor things like the keyboard still are with the iPhone. On Android it just feels so much more useful, having the dedicated comma button and period button should be mandatory. Also even with the titanium, it's a tank of a device. The S22U feels significantly less despite the display being taller and about the same width. The default iPhone messages app I will say has a lot of features that are useful besides iMessage. I like being able to haptic touch a conversation to preview notifications. On Android this is not yet a thing.
I'm a s23 ultra user have been since release,phone of the year for me .ios has improved this year in cameras. both a good choice depends what you prefer android or ios
The iPhone 15PM needs a 4 camera setup like the S23. Anywhere between 2x and 4.9 is the pictures are grainy.
Very honest and unbiased review 👍
Hey Aaron, I am using the iPhone 15 pro, finally getting the lidar sensor lol!!!! I am on the iOS 17.3 developer beta, it’s ok, I have a lot to bugs. My question is, what app are you using to look at heat temperature of phone?
It’s not an app. It’s a heat camera that plugs into the usbc port
My wife has just purchased an iPhone 15 pro Max. It's not even 8 weeks old, and it's all ready needing to be force restarted due to a black screen of death.
Unfortunately, that's bad luck. I've had mine for several months and no problems yet.
@@FlubFlubbersame
I like the iPhone the best and in my opinion the iPhone looks way better than the s23 ultra
@zollotech did you ever switch to the regular pro?
I didn't as the screen is fantastic and I generally wanted to, but need the larger display
Iphone wins batterylife chipset wateresistant support smoothness updates optimized apps and games ecosystem iMessage brighter display cameras etc.
Galaxy s23 ultra is the best
I chose the iPhone 15 pro Max because the IOS can be updated for a long period of time. For example, the iPad pro 9.7 2016 (ax9) can still be updated in 2023. 😀👍🏻
iPhone 15 pro max, with a small difference, S23 ultra as number 2. I had/have both.
Why iPhone number 1 for me? Personal opinion and experinece; video camera is better and photos in a darkroom with not much light is much better on the iPhone. Samsung still has to work on this further to close the gap. The video camera is good, but not yet good enough to keep up with the iPhone.
Still a plus to the video camera of the S23 ultra; I can pause while filming, but I find it annoying that the iPhone can't do that.
15 pro max is better for picture 😊I got this phone also and I like I a lot
