I am still for the S23 Ultra. These days it is mostly about preference. Both are amazing devices. Wife is iPhone and I am former iPhone but have loved the seemingly endless customization of Android and it is hard to give that up. I can made it look and behave exactly how I want it to and easily change themes on the fly so I don't get bored so easily with my phone. Also love my Samsung zoom camera. Wife borrows my phone often when we go out. IPhone is a status symbol for some which I don't understand. I am not one to necessarily follow the crowd. I don't like the iPhone notch which they renamed Dynamic Island. Still a distracting notch in my book. But again, a matter of preferences.
@@yousef.al-assaf more expensive? It depends which country you’re in. Status symbol? I have never noticed this. Have you also considered brand loyalty and ease of use which is a big reason why people buy iPhones. But, they’re both great phones.
@daverose5191 Has breaking away from imessage not been an issue with your spouse still using iphone? what about loss of airdrop and facetime? unfortunately there are several sacrifices you're forced to make. I don't see my wife ever giving up her iphone and over 95% of my frequent contacts use iphone so I feel pretty stuck.
@@justinbpriceI don't feel I made any sacrifices switching to Android. I have had no issues texting any of my iPhone friends including my spouse. We text each other just the same. Just the bubble color changed to green on the iPhones. But if I want the blue bubble again I can just create it. LOL! I can share photos and documents by link, QR code, OR even share directly by email, text, or direct download. As far as FaceTime, I don't do much of that. But if I did there is other options like Google which is cross platform. It is Apple that insists on being to proprietary right from the start. We had the first iPhone where they designed the ports where you had to buy their plug in earphones. That's Apple's marketing. There is a whole world out there besides iPhone.
I've had EVERY iPhone except the 14. I'm now on the S23 Ultra because I became sick and tired with Apple withholding simple features and short changing their loyal customers only. I've had the s23 from the first week of release and it's probably my favourite phone ever. It's sleek, svelte and utterly beautiful.
@@physicaltip FaceTime and iMessage sound cool in the beginning, then the interest fades out. All iMessage features that bring up the hype are later on not used. I never seen anyone use Memoji or anything to be honest
Thank you for this! I am getting the S23 tomorrow, but I go back and forth.. should I get the 14 pro max instead. But now.. I will give it a try! The S23 :)
I used to think that too mate , and it is nice too be sure, but it is not everything. I own both platforms and was a galaxy note boy from the note 2 , ( and still use my note 9 today)but despite some of IOS being bloody annoying with some its little quirks at times , it does have some very good points , and I don’t give a shit about bubble colour, and in all honesty I still use my iphones (12 and 14 pro max )more like android phones😀, as for the walled garden that apple is famous for that some see as a downer , I actually think it is a good thing for some important reasons . For a start , anyone that’s downloaded app’s from googles play store has probably had experience with masses of annoying pop ups , and even some apps and even some android launchers have been found to be nefarious or decidedly dodgy for years . Having been on the dark side for heading for 3 years now , I have had no such issues with apples App Store , and have no problem getting stuff from it , while on the google play store I stopped downloading some years ago because of risk and a lack of confidence using it. In the end, both platforms have good and bad points, and when my old note finally dies I don’t think I’ll replace it with another galaxy , , as some of the features I bought my note 9 for you no longer get on the watered down S Ultra , the iPhone while being a bit behind in some areas still gets most of the basics right , nice loud speakers, nice screen, good performance, I actually use the mute button, so that’s handy while we still have it , MagSafe I initially thought was a gimmick turns out I use it every single day, Apple Pay works very nicely, the camera and video are still very good despite not having the best zoom , and in my use I get often a day and half before having to charge it. Also if my iPhone phone is on charge in the bedroom and I’m using my MacBook or iPad and I get a phone call , it comes through on both devices and I can just take the call like normal on either device . Again while apple does annoy the shit out of me with the odd IOS quirk , it has way more good points , and for those I like it.
After taking a hard look at each, the lack of a SIM tray (US), lack of decent Zoom (camera), and the actual feel in hand, the S23 Ultra became my main choice.
Rocking the S23 Ultra right now. I still have my 13 pro max, but honestly the S23 gives me more for my money. As far as blue bubbles go, I couldn't care less since it is an Apple issue. I am on the waiting list for the Sunbird messaging app. Could be a real game changer for those that want seamless texting with iPhones, but still want to use an Android device.
I have an iPhone too and it’s annoying when iPhone people blame android for green bubbles. It’s purely Apple making it that way. And Apple has gaslit users into thinking it’s androids fault lol I’m thinking of getting the 23U as a 2nd phone. It’s been years since I’ve had android and I’m curious again 😂
@@joemichael5155 I’ve had the 13 for a year but I am more a android user and it’s just to limiting for me and everything is a subscription. And I agree many iPhone people not including you are very ignorant and think apple is always in the right and anything not apple sucks
@@robmalcolm8042 tbh the same can be said for android users whenever an apple user says anything good about an apple product but I see where you're getting at.
@@RidwanKadir-v3i no most but everywhere except the US i am apple fanboy i tried iMessages with my iPhone friends but i still prefer to chat over telegram
I picked up the S23U just to use for a little bit. But I'm having a real hard time trying to find reasons to switch back to my 14 Pro Max. I was not expecting to love the phone so much.
@@gurnealsingh2012 I'm planning to buy one of them next week and since you have used both of them, can you give me your honest suggestion which one should I go for I've never used an iPhone device ever neithet any android flagship device all that I used were budget range phones. I just want a device which is good in almost everything and which seems like a long term one. Which one should I buy in both of them?
I much prefer the 22 or 23 ultra. Less intrusive screen cut out. And through software you can get the same dynamic island features on your Android if you want. You have so many options with Android
S23 Ultra is currently the best mobile phone money can buy, I’m an iPhone & apple hardcore user and do prefer the apple echo system but the S23U is the simply a better phone.
The zoom capabilities of the S23 are insane, for anyone that travels it's essential! I travelled around Australia for a few weeks and a LOT of the shots I took on my trip wouldn't have been possible, especially the videos of the crocodile feedings, spiders, birds, and landscapes. It got to the point where people in our groups asked me to shoot a lot of their content since their iPhones couldn't capture a Dingo, Koala, or other amazing things we saw
@@Taitea_____ absolutely! For wildlife photography and a lot of landscape photography, 10-30x zoom is the minimum preferred lens. When you have a phone that has a 10x optical zoom (not digital) it's game changing. The 30x hybrid zoom is really great as well.
@@Taitea_____ when I was out in Australia, we left the airbnb at 7am, turned on GPS for transit and walking all day, took around 400-500 photos and 75-100 videos, checked bus times, restaurants, etc, and would come back around 11pm with around 15% to spare. So with VERY heavy usage (since we used GPS all day) it was an all day phone.
I'm a Galaxy Ultra phone at user mainly because I am a low vision person. I use the zoom lenses to see everyday objects, like signs, menus, or animals at the zoo. So I have built out the ecosystem around those phones. I use the Galaxy buds 2 pro, the watch 5 pro, and the tab S8 Ultra as well.
Yeah mate , also the magnify feature on the S pen is super cool too 😉. Although Apple does have some not bad vision features and enhancements too I have to say.
I actually had hard time choosing between 2 phones but I ended up buying the Samsung s23 ultra because you can get 1TB for a cheaper price compared to iphone, the zoom feature was definitely a big factor for my decision making. Also, I find the iPhone really heavy when I tried holding both. I was surprised to know that there was no other accessories inside the box other than the cable and the adapter but overall, I'm really happy with my purchase. And man it's my first time to not have an audio port!
@Y i have both phone in my pocket samsung and iphone. Been using it for 2 year and i can say my daily fon is samsung and my iphone just for a couple use only.. the point is both phone have their own use. It just that if u prefer open to diversity, than it is android but if u prefer limited one than u can chose iphone.
I agree with everything but the ecosystem. I've been using Samsung flagships and products my entire life, but after recently switching to the Apple ecosystem I am blown away by how tight and well integrated it is. It's the small things. For example I was starting a video chat on Discord when all of a sudden it prompted me to use my iPhone as a webcam. Or how the iPhone automatically added and configured itself when I set it up to all settings from my other Apple devices without doing anything. Samsung's ecosystem is definitely improving rapidly, but for now it doesn't go far beyond nice animations and quick pairing between devices.
Yeah, I totally agree with you, but it's because apple products works with nothing else than apple that it works so greatly. For example, Samsung watch can work with every android phone, being Huawei, Pocco, etc, And Iphones. With the apple watch, you lose a lot of perks if you have an android phone. So it's kind of easy to make a seamless integration when you only have to make it work with your own products.
Samsung has come a long way. I don't even have s23 ultra, I'm just using an A53 5G which still shares a lot of premium features. What win's me over with Samsung is the capability of being able to customize it how you want it. apps that they make like good ock make the experience using a Samsung that much better
I thought of buying the iphone this year that I wanted to upgrade my 5 year old S9+. But when it came to hardware, the Samsung was way better in my opinion. Then, software wise, the iphone seems more attractive from the optimization point of view, but not enough to make me forget about the hardware difference. I ended up buying the S23 ultra, and I don't regret at all. Hell of a phone, and the battery lasts 2 days. Blew my mind.
I am just like you, was debating between the 2, but Iphone 14 Pro Max has only 6gb of RAM, while the s23u have 12gb.... and for the same price. Also you get the same autonomy for the s23u while it having a stylus inside, thats a plus, and less of a gimmick than the "island" thingy that apple has, which I don't even know what it does, and that 200MP camera compared to the 50MP the Iphone has, damn
I own both an iPhone and a Samsung, so I'm not even particularly biased toward either side. But objectively speaking, the S23U is overall a much better device. The better design, higher resolution, S pen capabilities, much smaller hole punch, and better zoom are all big selling points for the Galaxy. When you compare in terms of features and capabilities, the regular S23 is a much closer competitor to the 14 pro. But even then, I'd say the S23 still beats it AND for a lower price point at that. Sure, in the past Samsung had always been behind Apple in terms of software support and battery life. But those days are now over as they've pretty much caught up in that regard. Honestly, there's really no point in going for the iPhone unless you're already deeply invested in the iOS ecosystem. Like i said earlier I'm trying to be as unbiased as I can here, but Samsung just offers way more for your money compared to iPhone and its not even debatable.
IKR? I remember when iPhone got the always on display, my friend was like "and that's why apple's better than android" I was like bruh, 7 year old feature.
I just got an s23 ultra and I am loving it. It's taking time to get used to cause I've been on apple my whole life. But I think it's much better than the newest iPhone.
What are the pros and cons of using each in your experience? Currently bought a s21 Ultra and loved it in every way, but i'm also very curious about the apple system despite the limits.
Great unbiased review and did a great job of pointing out how they compare at the ecosystem level. Pittsburgh was a former home for me, so when I saw the pics of the burgh, I had to subscribe to your channel!😆
Congratulations. You're one of the few TH-camrs to point out Samsung having an actual ecosystem that compares or if not better then apples ecosystem. Thank you
@gouthamkrishna7574 they know about it, but talking about it doesn't bring them the same amount of money as talking about the apple Ecosystem does. That's why you'll find a hell of a lot more iPhone content on you tube, rather than Android/ samsung content.
@@gouthamkrishna7574 To be fair, apple's got the highest end ecosystem. Their VR, watch, computers, etc. are all AT LEAST mid-high end with better battery life. And it syncs so seamlessly. They have better transparency and noise canceling, they have higher end headphones (which I wouldn't buy even if I was in the ecosystem, but I imagine that matters to a good amount of people). I prefer android, I absolutely love my S22U, but I also don't want to deny where Samsung/google can improve.
People will say the Iphone is better at video, yet, the Iphone is clearly oversharpening its imagine, while the S23U looks crisp & natural. Tbh, it's all down to preference, which creators tend to think their opinions are a fact instead of the mere opinions that they are.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong … but from what I read in terms of app development… developers prioritize Apple before android because all the iPhones run the same app to development is easier while android with so many phones only certain devices will get apps that work efficiently and other android get apps that aren’t Taylor made for android phones … the android apps are only made for the main flagship phones … which is only a handful and all the rest just get the apps which are compatible but buggy
I'm elated to share that I recently switched from an iPhone 14 Pro Max to a Samsung S23 Ultra, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. As an iPhone user since the iPhone 4, it was a big change for me to switch to a different brand, but I'm glad I took the leap. The camera on the S23 Ultra is simply amazing and the battery life is so much better than what I was used to on my iPhone. All in all, I'm thrilled with my new Samsung phone and I'm excited to see what other features and capabilities it has in store for me.
Coming from a 12 Pro Max I decided to pull the trigger and upgrade to the S23 Ultra and I'm so glad I've made the switch, battery life is night and day I can literally go a whole day at work using my phone and come home at 11PM and still have 30-20% left at least how I use it and I've never been happier
I’m an iPhone 14 Pro user stuck in the Apple ecosystem but I really like what I’m hearing about the S23 family of phones especially the vastly superior zoom capabilities, I would settle for the smaller S23 as I don’t like carrying big phones
Bro I was looking for a video with a good camera comparison and you just so happen to bring up pictures facing Heinz field at the point lmao I live here so this is the best I could’ve asked for 😂😂 thanku lol
Im an advanced Android user... tried to use iOS.... what a stupid OS... so not ergonomic...terrible to use with one hand. The notifications windows is so confusing and clunky.... yikes
@@Randomdude21-e I didn't say iMessage as a whole I said a blue text bubble. And I don't pick my phones based off the stuff you listed but they are fare more important than a blue text bubble imo. I understand others are different just in my pov it's weird someone would do that.
@@kaorrif.1229 saw some one saying a few years back the pixel sucked because it was only 12 mp and they had a phone with 48 so it was alot better. Reality it was not. Pixel takes great pictures
You hit this one out of the park IMO. I feel at this point it's just up to preference. With that said I've been using Galaxy Note devices and now the SUltra since the Note II And I've loved the experience since day 1, while watching this device improve with each iteration. With that said, I like that Apple has finally ditched the notch on its flagship at least, and given a bit more customization when it comes to the software experience. I hope they continue to keep that same energy. And I'm not sure if you've done this but I'd love a full-on ecosystem comparison video. It would help to shut up a lot of naysayers. 😅 great work.
As an Android user for a decade i just switched for an iPhone 14 pro max and its great. The photos are real life colored and the skin tone is REALLY better on iPhone. The experience is really smooth and for years my wife keeps her iPhone longer and it works as the first day. My s21 ultra had issues with some apps and the battery. I miss the splitscreen that was useful even if not perfect and the x10 zoom but the whole experience is for me a bit better
Come on tho be realistic. iPhone would eventually have battery issues within about the same time frame. It’s just a matter of how long it takes but using the same phone eventually you need a new battery.
@@Mn_-mu9vz it’s alright I got a iPhone 13 for a year and I’m mostly android user. But it’s not better. Just a few pros to it but I feel android is a lot better iPhones are very limiting. And multi tasking is terrible on them.
I was very in doubt when everyone was praising s23 ultra but I couldn't believe how it can be so much better, but after trying both phones 14pro max and 23 ultra I was really shock. S23U offers so much for being a phone whereas iPhone offers very good features but not like s23. No regrets choosing the s23 Ultra.
Wow the S23 Ultra is a beast! I wish Apple would catch up. As someone who’s been using iPhones since the 4S, I’m envious of the features that Samsung brings that Apple takes longer to apply. It’s worth the wait most of the time, that’s what keeps me with Apple. Still rocking my 12 Pro Max and waiting to see what the iPhone 15 line up brings.
Apple will never catch up to samsung, All cell phone manufactures gets their cell phone parts from samsung including Apple....Samsung is the king of the cell phone technology mountain. Sorry bud get use to it
I value screen real estate and value customization. S23 Ultra. I've carried the Note 20U for three years - no big deal. You get used to the size and don't want to scale down the screen size once you realize watching YT videos is much better without an obtrusive cutout and rounded edges.
I’m super glad I found this video because it made up my mind for me. I’ve been an iPhone users for so long it’s crazy. I currently have the iPhone 12 and I’m doing so much with it that I need something better a few months ago I got the new Samsung galaxy tablet S8 5G And it blew me away so I’ll be switching to the new S 23 Ultraphone here later today. Actually my biggest pet peeve with the iPhone is how hot it constantly gets. It gets hot to the touch where you can’t even touch it and that’s just too much for me anymore and it’s just, there’s just no comparison anymore. I have to say that new tablet blows me away and if the phone is just as good that I know I made the right choice.
Same here. I was debating on whether buying my first iPhone or upgrading from my old galaxy a51. I've seen the s23ultra. Researched it. And now I own one. I love my s23ultra. It's an awesome phone. Couldn't be happier.
I have both but honestly in terms of overall day to day experience especially in hardware and software experience, the S23 ultra is just better. No doubt.
Love both phones, I've been an android user my whole life, and unlike the apple fanboys are saying, no, none of my phones started lagging after 1year. They have so much RAM (much more than apple in fact), that they *can't* lag. Anyway, I'm interested in switching to apple one day, because I want to change a little, and see what apple offers with their OS. Problem is, they haven't done anything significant in the last... few years, the Iphone 14 is just copy of the Iphone 10.. The only thing that changed from the 13 to the 14 is "dynamic island", which is more of a gimmick than a feature, I still don't see it's use. Compared to the added S-pen that the s23 brings , which is a game changer. So I'm still waiting for Apple to finally do something new, "innovate", like samsung did with the Fold, Flip, or the new 200MP camera on their phones, but apple fans are still satisfied with the same basic phone every year so I guess Apple isn't going to innovates soon, because they don't need to. That's such a shame.
This is the best and unbiased comparisons i have watched on TH-cam about both devices and this is irrespective of who won, But the way you point out the differences and now similarities especially in the ecosystem part, which most TH-camers completely ignore. Thank you for the great work
BS information. Apple was the worst in battery till they started buying Amoled from Samsung, they had the worst bettery among all flagships when they had the LCD panels.
@@ShaneSymonds th-cam.com/video/KRrsIp1kNtc/w-d-xo.html here is a video for your reference from mrwhoistheboss. The s20 was put to 120hz and 2k settings and u can put to 1080 setting as well which mrwhoistheboss did not do in this video yet the iphone barely managed to slightly go over the s20 and there are other videos where people put the s20 at full HD 1080 and iphone was 2 hours battery life behind. So what exactly are u talking about. And oneplus beat all smartphones in that test. Unless like other iphone reviewers you guys dont know yet as of today the resolution and refresh could have been changed in s series.
Also i remember iphone was stuck with full HD resolution for years, whereas every other brand had 2k displays. And yet oneplus huawei every other brand lasted more with battery than iphone 13 and older models.
I've had a Samsung S8 since they came out (in 2017?). It is the best, most reliable phone I've ever had and I've waited and waited for something to break down, slow down, or freeze up, before I'd consider getting a new phone. While my reliable S8 is still going strong, after watching this review and doing some other research, I'm planning to get an S23 Ultra but I won't be trading in my S8. I plan to continue holding onto it until the wheels fall off. The only thing that has deteriorated on the S8 is the quality of the photos and videos but am concerned those wheels may come off at an inconvenient time so I need to upgrade sooner rather than later. The only thing I never liked is the irritating built-in Bixby assistance and how easily it is to accidently push the side button and have Bixby offer to help me, but I've learned to live with that. Anyway, I'm finally looking forward to a phone that appears to be just as fantastic as my S8 was when I bought it.
In the smartphone area they are pretty evenly matched. While Apple made significant software improvements in addition of new features and improving the areas where they already had a lead like app optimization and integration, Samsung made some significant improvements in the hardware area with huge battery improvements, video shooting and ofc only improved on their lead in the zoom capabilities. Samsung also made huge changes in their inttegration with other devices. Their ecosystem feels a lot like Apple's ecosystem. What they are not on par with Apple is their other devices. Their laptops are nowhere near Apple's MB in terms of performans, battery life, display, sound, built qualit and so on. Their smartwatches are also not as good and they have no challenge for the Ultra watch. In the case of tablets they are also behind Apple. I'm sure Samsung is working on them as well but as of now they are not there.
Everything was good till you said other devices, The watches, earbuds, and laptops are better in their way, the watches have a more watch-like feel, cause of the screen, and weight (depending on what option u get). The displays are equal, both almost 4k, high nits, and very large displays. Earbuds are both equally good with, sound quality, and battery life. Did not mean this to attack you in any way just putting my knowledge of Samsung to the little amount of knowledge I have about Apple, but I did look some things up for comparison, hopefully this helps your pov of samsung.
@@Chris-su5kx Samsung has some great smartwatches. The problem is at the top end. Simply nothing beats the Ultra watch. When the comment was made there the best samsung watch was the Watch 5 Pro. The 6-series are out but there isn't a 6 pro yet. And compared to the Watch 5 Pro it is really a no brainer. The Ultra has features that the 5 Pro simply doesn't have like the siren, emergency call when you get into an accident, a sensor to measure the depth when diving and so on. In the cases of similarities the Ultra has much bigger and superior speaker and also better microphones. Apple smartwatches are generally considered to be some of the best when you measure things like when you sleep or your hearthrate. So at the top-end is where Samsung lacks. In laptops Apple is simply superior. When it comes to performance in general. IIt is well known that Apple uses their own chips. These chips are based on ARM instead of x86. Laptops are mobile devices and for all devices that are not stationary ARM is superior. The advantage in battery life is simply undeniable. MBs can last several times longer and the more intensive the task is the longer it lasts. Moreover this translates into less heat. Ofc if you have less wattage you have less heat. This means that Apple not only leads in the top-end performance but also can sustain that performance. Windows laptops are simply unable to sustain performance for too long especially slim and light machines. Again this is more of an Intel/AMD problem but unless Samsung start making their own chips that's their problem as well. Earbuds are generally equal.
@@ulikemyname6744 Very true things that i didnt know, once again i have little to no knowledge on apple so thank you for this info, For the apple laptops only thing that i could say is that windows would have over it would be gaming, variety, and upgradeability. Battery is def one the most things a laptop would need to focus on to the specs they are giving/have with the model, def can say apple has that tucked in and well aware they are superior on the OS helping not use ALLOT of power and able to last 1 to even 2 days depending on how much you use it, higher end windows laptops usually do cause of the power hungry gpu and cpus now. And I wonder how the new watch 6 classic, dont think its much better accept ram and it being classic, but hopefully the 7 will get it par or at least much better with features and small little random options that could help a specific person like with the depth feature you said. I did see a video of the watch 6 that they improved the sleep functions and I think some workout functions so hopefully they will keep improving in this. Sorry if i seem jumbled in my words and sentences lol have hard time writing stuff like this.
I had an iPhone 13 pro, then switch to a pixel 7 pro when it came out last fall, and recently got an s23 ultra. All phones were great! I prefer the pixel over the iPhone, but I am loving the s23 ultra. I am shocked at how Samsung has improved the user experience and software experience over the past few years. I could give a crap about the blue bubbles. That only affects people with iPhones it doesn't affect me with my s23!
While I've never run into the blue-green bubble thing in real life, I don't think it could sway me towards iOS. Why should I purchase a phone that doesn't meet my needs, just because other people choose a messaging that intentionally downgrades their experience when communicating with other types of devices?
Ah, one more fun fact. I worked for 2 years in customer service for an online company. During this time, I noticed that the most rude, difficult and dumb customers always had "Sent from my iPhone" in their email signature. Just saying.
I was a long time iphone user. I did everything in life and work Apple and would get into debates over both phones. I have felt that over the past 5 years that Apple has brought nothing dramatic to the table for their devices. Steve Jobs always had something innovative to bring out for the company. Android systems have passed Apple years ago on hardware and functionality. I decided to go with a new s23 ultra in March. I was pretty nervous because I was so tied to the Apple ecosystem. The more I use this phone and experience the incredible features and customization it has, I wish I would have switched earlier. There are so many friends and family that only care about the blue bubble for messaging and airdrop but it is not a deal breaker for me. This is a great video explaining it all.
Love my Samsungs. I've used iphone a few times. I just prefer Samsung it has more freedom like having a mini computer. It's endless and the eco system is on par with apples not to mention washers, dryers, fridges, dishwashers, vacuums, smart lights and much more. 🔥🔥🔥 I want the watch I. Seriously thinking about it
@@Chris34720 at least apple’s ads are nothing like those cringeworthy, desperate samsung ads 💀 when apple fucking got rid of the brick, samsung did it too like wtf
well, s23 ultra can do everything that i phone does, plus it has super zoom camera, dex, spen etc. great performance, battery life. apart from a slightly weak haptic motor I see almost no weakness to it.
@1971 mukit there is no stability issue with top tier flagships. People prefer iphones for some non existing reasons. They are really not superior to phones of same price . They are just one of the brands making phones, its personal preference really. You can't go wrong with any of the top mobile phone manufacturers.
I am a hardcore IPhone user but if Apple does not at least add a 10x zoom it will be goodbye. The one iOS advantage for me as a musician is the availability of music specific apps that work on all my iOS devices.
@@mukit1971 absolutely yes, i still got my old s8 that has like 6 years now and it works pretty fine, now i have an s20fe5g but i'm planning on getting the s23u soon, Samsung's doing great since the s8 series
Hey mate, between S23U and 14 PM, wich one should i go for it? I priorize photography, smothness on daily basis and future proof software, i have a daughter and i love to take pics and film her playing around, so i want something more like point and shoot and not be there waiting to focus to get a good result...
But the difference between photo and video on both phones looks significant. I'm looking for a phone camera and currently the S23Ultra appears better. And up until now I did not know that Samsung is the leader here.
The essence of a "Smartphone" lies in its ability to utilize its processor not just for basic applications, which is what sets it apart from Apple devices that prioritize powerful processors for simple tasks and overlook advanced features.
@@CashCollecta there’s literally nothing samsung does better than apple. battery life, camera, size and options, display, everything. iphone does better.
The only thing disappointing to android fans is that which is the biggest difference is that after one or two years android does get laggy and where as iPhone will be better in performance . This is hard truth but real
Phone you meant s23 ultra is pretty good I have a few androids and iPhone 13 and iPhone 12 Pro Max and s23 ultra and the s23 is really nice and huge improvement over the s22
I hate the iPhones camera. I’ve never understood why people say that it’s the best smartphone camera. It’s SO noisy and over sharpened. Both photos and camera. This was a great video my man
I had the 14 pro but switched to the s23u and am loving it in honesty thinking about switching back to Apple with the 15 pro max cause I'm one who just mainly listens to music, game and browse social media since I work slot, and I liked apple for the simplicity of there phones.
I think the extra features of the S23U shine through when you need it. I travelled around Australia for a few weeks and a lot of the wildlife you can't get too close to (due to conservation laws). I was able to get a tonne of close up videos and shots of crocodile feedings, Dingos, snakes, spiders, landscapes, etc. The battery kept up with me all day as well. It got to the point where several people in our groups asked me to shoot their content for them. These are features I almost never use at home, but to see how useful it was on a trip that I needed memories of was priceless
@@heeeydevon8262 yeah I'm just gonna stay with the s23u got a defender pro case and gonna keep it as my long term phone, I would probably regret it if I switched
I currently own the s23 ultra. I've been waiting for it to be produced with a nice chipset for a long time. I'm thinking of buying the iPhone 14 pro max because of the problems I have with the interface. I am experiencing stuttering in social apps. The microphone of the connected bluetooth headset does not work. I hate typing lag and screen dropping to 60Hz There are a few strange problems like this. I was using Poco F3 before and never had such problems.Samsung has disappointed me once again.
Strange to hear that, my S23 Ultra has been nearly flawless, and I actually have issues with my iPhone 14 Pro Max with its screen going black on its own and TH-cam videos can't switch to landscape enough to the point it is annoying
@@dorate100 The screen and brightness is AMAZING. i changed from 14PROMAX , and they say that phone is bright hahha. LOVE the s23ultra. and im 1000% u will LOVE it to!
I just this week went from z foldn3 to s 23 ultra. Haven't had a iphone since iphone 11 pro max. Truth just love the ability to customize my android phone. Iphone was great but barley any choices to customize .. But am truly loving the s 23 ultra. Think will keep the hole 3 yr contract.
First off, GREAT review! I’ve always been a Samsung fan, periodically I would switch to iPhone until the latest Samsung flagship would come out. I’ve been with iPhone since the 13PM and now with the 14PM. I loved the S22 ultra, but the thing that made me want to stay with iPhone so far is the display, speakers, iMessage and AirPod features. I watch A LOT of movies/tv shows on my phone so the speaker difference was big for me, but I think Samsung is a little better as far as customization and camera. I WILL be getting the new Galaxy Fold 2024, if the camera is better than last years, for sure!
@@wirlt hmmm yea, I mean Samsung speakers are just as loud almost, but what it ME is just the bass and clarity of iPhone speakers. Trust me I miss torrenting and downloading emulators. When Samsung’s fold or ultra has the specs I like on apple I will go back haha I can do without iMessage
@@Nathan-qn4pc you could use the EQ setting on the s23 ultra to help strengthen the quality. Eg tuning to make a deeper bass but I get it when Samsung makes those changes the products will really shine. Stuff like iMessage and facetime are things apple uses to connect everyone, basically making them feel like they don't want to leave or that they can't get out of the ecosystem or that they'll be lost without those things. But as an overall phone it's just what it has to offer, just your preference. Depends on what you like
Fold 3 5g user here. Yesterday, I opened my fold and my screen literally cracked, just by opening it. The inside screen is no longer usable and my quoted repair cost is $470. I've been using it since release. I'm leaving the fold family and going back to the normal form factor (ultra)
The design of the iphone 14 pro max is very nice dont get me wrong. Ive owned android phone for the longest time and i almost switched to one. I had a friend who had one and he let me check it out. And im glad i did, i decided to get a s23 Ultra instead. No ragrets.
The Galaxy offers so much more usability-/productivity option. Offerst far more/better personalization options, better gaming- and multi-media experience and more innovation. This is what the Ultra offers that the iPhone doesn't: DEX, S-Pen, Multi-Window, Multi-Tasking, inscreen fingerprint scanner, KNOX, file-manager, integration with X-box live, Windows and Spotify. 10 x optical Zoom, Super RAW mode, 200 MP lens, 8K video at 24 fps, camera integration with TikTok, Facebook and Instagram, far better widgets and customization options (themes), fast charging (45 W)m reverse wireless charging and last but not least 100% integration of Samsung's eco-system SmartThings with Mercedes's MBUX Voice Assistant. Samsung's eco-system is much much larger with: refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, airco's, washing- and drying machines, tv's, soundbars, audio-systems (Harman Kardon), MBUX voice assistant from Mercedes/Maybach and so much more.
Yea and at the end of the day majority of the world and rich folks and celebrities are gonna buy an iPhone and don’t give a shit about that long list of specs u just read out 😅 only geeks will care abt all that
@@CashCollecta exactly, while you might be burning your money with the latest iPhone, the best thing about it is the simplicity and how the phone does everything for you in default without having to care about those extra nerdy stuff. I guarantee you most people wouldn't even be making use of those features in daily life. It's all down to preferences and the overall aesthetics of the phone to the normal average user.
@@chrisx5127 You can dot that to any Samsung device or Windows desktop or laptop. DEX turns your Galaxy into a full fledge desktop. I can make calls from my pc using my Galaxy for more thant 5 years. th-cam.com/video/yA6pec6wfdk/w-d-xo.html
One thing that I didn't expect was how HUGE the S23 Ultra's cameras were in person. Videos and pictures wouldn't do it justice, especially since the sensors are proportionate to the rest of the phone
I subscribed because you were honest and gave us an answer at the end, unlike some other tech youtubers who will preach preach and preach but finally sit on the fence at the end. Like common, just pick a side. It's not that deep. Kudos to you
The curved screen will always be a bigger gimmick than the dynamic island. I’d be the first to throw my iPhone out if Samsung ever makes a flat ultra model.
Amazing video as I own both of these products and Samsung has made significant strides. Even the entry s23 or s23 plus are better offerings than the base iPhone 14 and 14 plus, apple still for now on lightening cable and 60hz displays like come on now. I like both but that freedom and customization on android make it the easier device or more intriguing device to use. I wish iOS wasn’t so locked down to where I can’t even place apps where I want them without some major work around with using invisible widgets or other crazy means. Being able to add apps to my Home Screen folders on Samsung by just hitting add is amazing as opposed to the old drag and drop apple still uses.
You are right, the gap between Apple and Samsung is really narrowing. In 2023, I do believe a good mid range phone is perfect for the 90% mass. If you want a premium device, just go with the one you feel comfortable. You won't be disappointed.
Why would you want "premium" iPhone that is surpassed by superior 1/2 price smartphones from China in very short time? The only reason I would go for premium is the S-pen.
how do u use your s23u? cuz i "only" get to about 6h sot with no gaming 1440p 120hz, no aod messaging, occasional snaps, spotify off-screen, Jakeipuu (learning app), some social media (hoyolab) and weather, clock, internet searches, some photos its not exactly heavy use...< edit: i use goodlock one hand operation + multi star camera assistant registar sound assist theme park pentastic lockstar home up
Get the iPhone 14 Pro. I had a Galaxy S10 for almost 3 years. I loved that phone. But recently got the iPhone 14 pro and I don’t think I will go back go to Android anytime soon. Smooth interface. Reliable. UI never crashes and I have yet to launch an app that crashes. I prefer the more natural colors of the iPhone too.
I keep noticing some heavy Samsung bias in the comments and I think a lot of Samsung users feel the need to justify their purchase or brand by commenting on several of these comparison videos even though the iPhone just speaks with its sales volumes, while Samsungs best selling phone will be its mid tier phones like the a series even their best selling ones will sell less than apples worst selling phone. You’ll constantly see Samsung knights defending their brand without actually having used either phone listing the severest gimmicky features of the Samsung like unpaid Samsung salesmen. Funny thing it’s not just the Samsung knights too Samsung relies on a sad desperate advertising tactics to get iPhone users to switch. They make fun of Apple devices only to be caught with a scandal of their own or to copy the exact thing they made fun of. And it just makes Samsung look like this sad desperate brand trying to cling onto apples larger market share which is one of the personal reasons why I won’t use a Samsung ever. And the reason for the sales discrepancy being that iPhones are simply just better. They last longer they hold value longer I mean hell the iPhone X has had almost 6 years of updates and you can still sell it for 200-300usd no Samsung phone will give you that. People just want stability and iPhone gives you that. Unless you want a 1100 hole in you pocket every year this doesn’t matter to you. Honestly the only android phone I can respect or switch to is a pixel. Dunno why I went on this silly rant just felt the need to voice my thoughts

What's your choice between the S23 Ultra and the iPhone 14 Pro Max? Thanks for watching!
S23 ultra
S23 ultra ❤❤❤
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
I'm trying to figure out how to change my att esim into the 23 ultra. Did you have to go into an att store?
S23 Ultra, I sold my 14 Pro Max to buy the 23 Ultra and don't regret my decision. This S23 Ultra is in another level on technology.
I am still for the S23 Ultra. These days it is mostly about preference. Both are amazing devices. Wife is iPhone and I am former iPhone but have loved the seemingly endless customization of Android and it is hard to give that up. I can made it look and behave exactly how I want it to and easily change themes on the fly so I don't get bored so easily with my phone. Also love my Samsung zoom camera. Wife borrows my phone often when we go out. IPhone is a status symbol for some which I don't understand. I am not one to necessarily follow the crowd. I don't like the iPhone notch which they renamed Dynamic Island. Still a distracting notch in my book. But again, a matter of preferences.
You said it, status symbol which is not even worthy since it loses in most categories, even price...
@@yousef.al-assaf more expensive? It depends which country you’re in.
Status symbol? I have never noticed this. Have you also considered brand loyalty and ease of use which is a big reason why people buy iPhones.
But, they’re both great phones.
@@yousef.al-assaf on europe is I phone14 pro max little cheaper thats s 23 ultra 🤔
@daverose5191
Has breaking away from imessage not been an issue with your spouse still using iphone? what about loss of airdrop and facetime? unfortunately there are several sacrifices you're forced to make. I don't see my wife ever giving up her iphone and over 95% of my frequent contacts use iphone so I feel pretty stuck.
@@justinbpriceI don't feel I made any sacrifices switching to Android. I have had no issues texting any of my iPhone friends including my spouse. We text each other just the same. Just the bubble color changed to green on the iPhones. But if I want the blue bubble again I can just create it. LOL! I can share photos and documents by link, QR code, OR even share directly by email, text, or direct download. As far as FaceTime, I don't do much of that. But if I did there is other options like Google which is cross platform. It is Apple that insists on being to proprietary right from the start. We had the first iPhone where they designed the ports where you had to buy their plug in earphones. That's Apple's marketing. There is a whole world out there besides iPhone.
I've had EVERY iPhone except the 14. I'm now on the S23 Ultra because I became sick and tired with Apple withholding simple features and short changing their loyal customers only. I've had the s23 from the first week of release and it's probably my favourite phone ever. It's sleek, svelte and utterly beautiful.
😊what about FaceTime? What are u using to connect virtually other than zoom?
@@Brav-v3r im using iphone and never used face time lol
@@physicaltip FaceTime and iMessage sound cool in the beginning, then the interest fades out. All iMessage features that bring up the hype are later on not used. I never seen anyone use Memoji or anything to be honest
Thank you for this! I am getting the S23 tomorrow, but I go back and forth.. should I get the 14 pro max instead. But now.. I will give it a try! The S23 :)
and how is it @@Morfarhagen
The freedom that galaxy gives you is everything
Exactly
How when everyone around you is using an iphone.even Sharing files is a pain in the ass
@@Music-xp5wg that is really depends on where do you live
I used to think that too mate , and it is nice too be sure, but it is not everything.
I own both platforms and was a galaxy note boy from the note 2 , ( and still use my note 9 today)but despite some of IOS being bloody annoying with some its little quirks at times , it does have some very good points , and I don’t give a shit about bubble colour, and in all honesty I still use my iphones (12 and 14 pro max )more like android phones😀, as for the walled garden that apple is famous for that some see as a downer ,
I actually think it is a good thing for some important reasons . For a start , anyone that’s downloaded app’s from googles play store has probably had experience with masses of annoying pop ups , and even some apps and even some android launchers have been found to be nefarious or decidedly dodgy for years .
Having been on the dark side for heading for 3 years now , I have had no such issues with apples App Store , and have no problem getting stuff from it , while on the google play store I stopped downloading some years ago because of risk and a lack of confidence using it.
In the end, both platforms have good and bad points, and when my old note finally dies I don’t think I’ll replace it with another galaxy , , as some of the features I bought my note 9 for you no longer get on the watered down S Ultra , the iPhone while being a bit behind in some areas still gets most of the basics right , nice loud speakers, nice screen, good performance, I actually use the mute button, so that’s handy while we still have it , MagSafe I initially thought was a gimmick turns out I use it every single day, Apple Pay works very nicely, the camera and video are still very good despite not having the best zoom , and in my use I get often a day and half before having to charge it.
Also if my iPhone phone is on charge in the bedroom and I’m using my MacBook or iPad and I get a phone call , it comes through on both devices and I can just take the call like normal on either device .
Again while apple does annoy the shit out of me with the odd IOS quirk , it has way more good points , and for those I like it.
@@Music-xp5wgI could rant about how this is easier... but I don't think apple users brain can handle any type of load on their brain... so I wont
After taking a hard look at each, the lack of a SIM tray (US), lack of decent Zoom (camera), and the actual feel in hand, the S23 Ultra became my main choice.
why can't you use a eSim? isn't available or the phone itself has one sim?
Just wait scamsung will follow suit with esim.
same blud
Rocking the S23 Ultra right now. I still have my 13 pro max, but honestly the S23 gives me more for my money. As far as blue bubbles go, I couldn't care less since it is an Apple issue. I am on the waiting list for the Sunbird messaging app. Could be a real game changer for those that want seamless texting with iPhones, but still want to use an Android device.
I have an iPhone too and it’s annoying when iPhone people blame android for green bubbles. It’s purely Apple making it that way. And Apple has gaslit users into thinking it’s androids fault lol I’m thinking of getting the 23U as a 2nd phone. It’s been years since I’ve had android and I’m curious again 😂
@@joemichael5155 I’ve had the 13 for a year but I am more a android user and it’s just to limiting for me and everything is a subscription. And I agree many iPhone people not including you are very ignorant and think apple is always in the right and anything not apple sucks

@@beyondwilline3634 fresh take considering apple is overall more expensive
I felt the same when i switched from iphone 4s to s3. Big difference in screen quality and camera resolution was higher
I much prefer the 22 or 23 ultra. Less intrusive screen cut out. And through software you can get the same dynamic island features on your Android if you want.
You have so many options with Android
I find the 23 and 23 ultra to be ugly. The Note 20 ultra was better looking.
@@chrisx5127cool
Don't go for s22..they have heating issues and all those issues are fixed with S23 series.
I am Apple user but I want that s23 Ultra 😄🤤🔥
That's impossible 😅😅😅.. Apple sheeps will never admit that the Samsung or any android whatsoever beats their overpriced rectangular piece of aluminium
S23 Ultra is currently the best mobile phone money can buy, I’m an iPhone & apple hardcore user and do prefer the apple echo system but the S23U is the simply a better phone.
The zoom capabilities of the S23 are insane, for anyone that travels it's essential! I travelled around Australia for a few weeks and a LOT of the shots I took on my trip wouldn't have been possible, especially the videos of the crocodile feedings, spiders, birds, and landscapes. It got to the point where people in our groups asked me to shoot a lot of their content since their iPhones couldn't capture a Dingo, Koala, or other amazing things we saw
is this true mate?
@@Taitea_____ absolutely! For wildlife photography and a lot of landscape photography, 10-30x zoom is the minimum preferred lens. When you have a phone that has a 10x optical zoom (not digital) it's game changing. The 30x hybrid zoom is really great as well.
@@heeeydevon8262 my main dilemma is how long will it last, same as iphone or shorter
@@Taitea_____ when I was out in Australia, we left the airbnb at 7am, turned on GPS for transit and walking all day, took around 400-500 photos and 75-100 videos, checked bus times, restaurants, etc, and would come back around 11pm with around 15% to spare. So with VERY heavy usage (since we used GPS all day) it was an all day phone.
Let’s not even get into Samsungs video camera. Huge flop.
I'm a Galaxy Ultra phone at user mainly because I am a low vision person. I use the zoom lenses to see everyday objects, like signs, menus, or animals at the zoo. So I have built out the ecosystem around those phones. I use the Galaxy buds 2 pro, the watch 5 pro, and the tab S8 Ultra as well.
Yeah mate , also the magnify feature on the S pen is super cool too 😉.
Although Apple does have some not bad vision features and enhancements too I have to say.
S23 Ultra is awesome. Had mine since launch, really like it so far. 512GB is honestly the one to get
Am using S7 Edge for many years. And I am still happy with the phone.
Samsung flag ship phones, always delivered for better price.
When I lost my beloved Note5 I got the S7 Edge. Great phone. I just traded my Note8 in for the S23 Ultra. It is a wonderful device💯
I actually had hard time choosing between 2 phones but I ended up buying the Samsung s23 ultra because you can get 1TB for a cheaper price compared to iphone, the zoom feature was definitely a big factor for my decision making. Also, I find the iPhone really heavy when I tried holding both. I was surprised to know that there was no other accessories inside the box other than the cable and the adapter but overall, I'm really happy with my purchase. And man it's my first time to not have an audio port!
Same! But I got the 512gb 12gb ram.

It just that if u prefer open to diversity, than it is android but if u prefer limited one than u can chose iphone.
I agree with everything but the ecosystem. I've been using Samsung flagships and products my entire life, but after recently switching to the Apple ecosystem I am blown away by how tight and well integrated it is. It's the small things. For example I was starting a video chat on Discord when all of a sudden it prompted me to use my iPhone as a webcam. Or how the iPhone automatically added and configured itself when I set it up to all settings from my other Apple devices without doing anything.
Samsung's ecosystem is definitely improving rapidly, but for now it doesn't go far beyond nice animations and quick pairing between devices.
Yeah, I totally agree with you, but it's because apple products works with nothing else than apple that it works so greatly. For example, Samsung watch can work with every android phone, being Huawei, Pocco, etc, And Iphones. With the apple watch, you lose a lot of perks if you have an android phone. So it's kind of easy to make a seamless integration when you only have to make it work with your own products.
Samsung has come a long way. I don't even have s23 ultra, I'm just using an A53 5G which still shares a lot of premium features. What win's me over with Samsung is the capability of being able to customize it how you want it. apps that they make like good ock make the experience using a Samsung that much better

I thought of buying the iphone this year that I wanted to upgrade my 5 year old S9+.
But when it came to hardware, the Samsung was way better in my opinion. Then, software wise, the iphone seems more attractive from the optimization point of view, but not enough to make me forget about the hardware difference.
I ended up buying the S23 ultra, and I don't regret at all. Hell of a phone, and the battery lasts 2 days. Blew my mind.
I am just like you, was debating between the 2, but Iphone 14 Pro Max has only 6gb of RAM, while the s23u have 12gb.... and for the same price.
Also you get the same autonomy for the s23u while it having a stylus inside, thats a plus, and less of a gimmick than the "island" thingy that apple has, which I don't even know what it does, and that 200MP camera compared to the 50MP the Iphone has, damn
I own both an iPhone and a Samsung, so I'm not even particularly biased toward either side. But objectively speaking, the S23U is overall a much better device. The better design, higher resolution, S pen capabilities, much smaller hole punch, and better zoom are all big selling points for the Galaxy. When you compare in terms of features and capabilities, the regular S23 is a much closer competitor to the 14 pro. But even then, I'd say the S23 still beats it AND for a lower price point at that.
Sure, in the past Samsung had always been behind Apple in terms of software support and battery life. But those days are now over as they've pretty much caught up in that regard. Honestly, there's really no point in going for the iPhone unless you're already deeply invested in the iOS ecosystem. Like i said earlier I'm trying to be as unbiased as I can here, but Samsung just offers way more for your money compared to iPhone and its not even debatable.
IKR? I remember when iPhone got the always on display, my friend was like "and that's why apple's better than android" I was like bruh, 7 year old feature.
I just got an s23 ultra and I am loving it. It's taking time to get used to cause I've been on apple my whole life. But I think it's much better than the newest iPhone.
What are the pros and cons of using each in your experience? Currently bought a s21 Ultra and loved it in every way, but i'm also very curious about the apple system despite the limits.
Great unbiased review and did a great job of pointing out how they compare at the ecosystem level. Pittsburgh was a former home for me, so when I saw the pics of the burgh, I had to subscribe to your channel!😆
Congratulations. You're one of the few TH-camrs to point out Samsung having an actual ecosystem that compares or if not better then apples ecosystem. Thank you
True...most other reviewers overlook this fact or they don't know about it...
@gouthamkrishna7574 they know about it, but talking about it doesn't bring them the same amount of money as talking about the apple Ecosystem does. That's why you'll find a hell of a lot more iPhone content on you tube, rather than Android/ samsung content.
@@gouthamkrishna7574 To be fair, apple's got the highest end ecosystem. Their VR, watch, computers, etc. are all AT LEAST mid-high end with better battery life. And it syncs so seamlessly. They have better transparency and noise canceling, they have higher end headphones (which I wouldn't buy even if I was in the ecosystem, but I imagine that matters to a good amount of people). I prefer android, I absolutely love my S22U, but I also don't want to deny where Samsung/google can improve.
I still can't believe people worry about the color of their texts, how shallow can they get?
People will say the Iphone is better at video, yet, the Iphone is clearly oversharpening its imagine, while the S23U looks crisp & natural.
Tbh, it's all down to preference, which creators tend to think their opinions are a fact instead of the mere opinions that they are.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong … but from what I read in terms of app development… developers prioritize Apple before android because all the iPhones run the same app to development is easier while android with so many phones only certain devices will get apps that work efficiently and other android get apps that aren’t Taylor made for android phones … the android apps are only made for the main flagship phones … which is only a handful and all the rest just get the apps which are compatible but buggy
I'm elated to share that I recently switched from an iPhone 14 Pro Max to a Samsung S23 Ultra, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. As an iPhone user since the iPhone 4, it was a big change for me to switch to a different brand, but I'm glad I took the leap. The camera on the S23 Ultra is simply amazing and the battery life is so much better than what I was used to on my iPhone. All in all, I'm thrilled with my new Samsung phone and I'm excited to see what other features and capabilities it has in store for me.

With that said I've been using Galaxy Note devices and now the SUltra since the Note II And I've loved the experience since day 1, while watching this device improve with each iteration. With that said, I like that Apple has finally ditched the notch on its flagship at least, and given a bit more customization when it comes to the software experience. I hope they continue to keep that same energy. And I'm not sure if you've done this but I'd love a full-on ecosystem comparison video. It would help to shut up a lot of naysayers. 😅 great work.
As an Android user for a decade i just switched for an iPhone 14 pro max and its great. The photos are real life colored and the skin tone is REALLY better on iPhone. The experience is really smooth and for years my wife keeps her iPhone longer and it works as the first day. My s21 ultra had issues with some apps and the battery.
I miss the splitscreen that was useful even if not perfect and the x10 zoom but the whole experience is for me a bit better
I had the s21 ultra.. the s23 ultra is leaps and bounds ahead with everything..
How did you get used to not having a back button? Swiping left to right is a pain in the butt
Did u regret it i have a note 8 and im a life long android user considering switching to the 14 pro max was it worth it
Come on tho be realistic. iPhone would eventually have battery issues within about the same time frame. It’s just a matter of how long it takes but using the same phone eventually you need a new battery.
@@Mn_-mu9vz it’s alright I got a iPhone 13 for a year and I’m mostly android user. But it’s not better. Just a few pros to it but I feel android is a lot better iPhones are very limiting. And multi tasking is terrible on them.
Great video!!! You should post more like this!!!
I was very in doubt when everyone was praising s23 ultra but I couldn't believe how it can be so much better, but after trying both phones 14pro max and 23 ultra I was really shock. S23U offers so much for being a phone whereas iPhone offers very good features but not like s23. No regrets choosing the s23 Ultra.
5:42 literally proves why Samsung is better
Wow the S23 Ultra is a beast! I wish Apple would catch up.
As someone who’s been using iPhones since the 4S, I’m envious of the features that Samsung brings that Apple takes longer to apply. It’s worth the wait most of the time, that’s what keeps me with Apple. Still rocking my 12 Pro Max and waiting to see what the iPhone 15 line up brings.
The 15 will absolutely smash Samsung 😂 the 14 pro max will still vastly outlast s23 ultra iphones always do 😂
@@danosaka89 anyone who uses that emoji in a TH-cam message is a child. A child who has clearly never used an android.
Bro apple purposely trashes iPhones 🤣🤣
IPhone 15 will look the same and be just as boring.
Apple will never catch up to samsung, All cell phone manufactures gets their cell phone parts from samsung including Apple....Samsung is the king of the cell phone technology mountain. Sorry bud get use to it
I value screen real estate and value customization. S23 Ultra. I've carried the Note 20U for three years - no big deal. You get used to the size and don't want to scale down the screen size once you realize watching YT videos is much better without an obtrusive cutout and rounded edges.
I’m super glad I found this video because it made up my mind for me. I’ve been an iPhone users for so long it’s crazy. I currently have the iPhone 12 and I’m doing so much with it that I need something better a few months ago I got the new Samsung galaxy tablet S8 5G And it blew me away so I’ll be switching to the new S 23 Ultraphone here later today. Actually my biggest pet peeve with the iPhone is how hot it constantly gets. It gets hot to the touch where you can’t even touch it and that’s just too much for me anymore and it’s just, there’s just no comparison anymore. I have to say that new tablet blows me away and if the phone is just as good that I know I made the right choice.
I wanted the iphone 14 pro max but after this video I take that back! I'm getting the s23 ultra 😊
Same here. I was debating on whether buying my first iPhone or upgrading from my old galaxy a51. I've seen the s23ultra. Researched it. And now I own one. I love my s23ultra. It's an awesome phone. Couldn't be happier.
Get samsung phone, apple laptop, pc for gaming and sony headphones. - perfect balance.
3:54 excellent use of the S-pen
Love how you compare these to phones looking at everyday usage and not indoor, table top review. Keep up the good work!
I have both but honestly in terms of overall day to day experience especially in hardware and software experience, the S23 ultra is just better. No doubt.
Which one has better battery
Love both phones, I've been an android user my whole life, and unlike the apple fanboys are saying, no, none of my phones started lagging after 1year. They have so much RAM (much more than apple in fact), that they *can't* lag.
Anyway, I'm interested in switching to apple one day, because I want to change a little, and see what apple offers with their OS.
Problem is, they haven't done anything significant in the last... few years, the Iphone 14 is just copy of the Iphone 10.. The only thing that changed from the 13 to the 14 is "dynamic island", which is more of a gimmick than a feature, I still don't see it's use. Compared to the added S-pen that the s23 brings , which is a game changer.
So I'm still waiting for Apple to finally do something new, "innovate", like samsung did with the Fold, Flip, or the new 200MP camera on their phones, but apple fans are still satisfied with the same basic phone every year so I guess Apple isn't going to innovates soon, because they don't need to. That's such a shame.
I love this S23 Ultra. It's an amazing phone. So far my experience with this phone is just awesome.
Same !!!. I had the galaxy a51 before. Love my S23ultra.
This is the best and unbiased comparisons i have watched on TH-cam about both devices and this is irrespective of who won, But the way you point out the differences and now similarities especially in the ecosystem part, which most TH-camers completely ignore. Thank you for the great work
BS information. Apple was the worst in battery till they started buying Amoled from Samsung, they had the worst bettery among all flagships when they had the LCD panels.
Sounds like you are on a different timeline. In my video I showed video clips of my iPhone 11 Pro Max which got insane battery life for the time
@@ShaneSymonds th-cam.com/video/KRrsIp1kNtc/w-d-xo.html here is a video for your reference from mrwhoistheboss. The s20 was put to 120hz and 2k settings and u can put to 1080 setting as well which mrwhoistheboss did not do in this video yet the iphone barely managed to slightly go over the s20 and there are other videos where people put the s20 at full HD 1080 and iphone was 2 hours battery life behind. So what exactly are u talking about. And oneplus beat all smartphones in that test. Unless like other iphone reviewers you guys dont know yet as of today the resolution and refresh could have been changed in s series.
Also i remember iphone was stuck with full HD resolution for years, whereas every other brand had 2k displays. And yet oneplus huawei every other brand lasted more with battery than iphone 13 and older models.
I've had a Samsung S8 since they came out (in 2017?). It is the best, most reliable phone I've ever had and I've waited and waited for something to break down, slow down, or freeze up, before I'd consider getting a new phone. While my reliable S8 is still going strong, after watching this review and doing some other research, I'm planning to get an S23 Ultra but I won't be trading in my S8. I plan to continue holding onto it until the wheels fall off. The only thing that has deteriorated on the S8 is the quality of the photos and videos but am concerned those wheels may come off at an inconvenient time so I need to upgrade sooner rather than later. The only thing I never liked is the irritating built-in Bixby assistance and how easily it is to accidently push the side button and have Bixby offer to help me, but I've learned to live with that. Anyway, I'm finally looking forward to a phone that appears to be just as fantastic as my S8 was when I bought it.
i just wish samsung would make the note and the ultra separated again. i miss having rounded corners 😭😭😭😭
Facts. Note 5 is the GOAT💯
i have 23u only 2 weeks now.... omg what a beast actually. its #1 now no doubts.
In the smartphone area they are pretty evenly matched. While Apple made significant software improvements in addition of new features and improving the areas where they already had a lead like app optimization and integration, Samsung made some significant improvements in the hardware area with huge battery improvements, video shooting and ofc only improved on their lead in the zoom capabilities. Samsung also made huge changes in their inttegration with other devices. Their ecosystem feels a lot like Apple's ecosystem. What they are not on par with Apple is their other devices. Their laptops are nowhere near Apple's MB in terms of performans, battery life, display, sound, built qualit and so on. Their smartwatches are also not as good and they have no challenge for the Ultra watch. In the case of tablets they are also behind Apple. I'm sure Samsung is working on them as well but as of now they are not there.
Samsungs ecosystem is far better than apple's
@@akg.jr18 yeah... No
Everything was good till you said other devices, The watches, earbuds, and laptops are better in their way, the watches have a more watch-like feel, cause of the screen, and weight (depending on what option u get). The displays are equal, both almost 4k, high nits, and very large displays. Earbuds are both equally good with, sound quality, and battery life. Did not mean this to attack you in any way just putting my knowledge of Samsung to the little amount of knowledge I have about Apple, but I did look some things up for comparison, hopefully this helps your pov of samsung.
@@Chris-su5kx Samsung has some great smartwatches. The problem is at the top end. Simply nothing beats the Ultra watch. When the comment was made there the best samsung watch was the Watch 5 Pro. The 6-series are out but there isn't a 6 pro yet. And compared to the Watch 5 Pro it is really a no brainer. The Ultra has features that the 5 Pro simply doesn't have like the siren, emergency call when you get into an accident, a sensor to measure the depth when diving and so on. In the cases of similarities the Ultra has much bigger and superior speaker and also better microphones. Apple smartwatches are generally considered to be some of the best when you measure things like when you sleep or your hearthrate. So at the top-end is where Samsung lacks.
In laptops Apple is simply superior. When it comes to performance in general. IIt is well known that Apple uses their own chips. These chips are based on ARM instead of x86. Laptops are mobile devices and for all devices that are not stationary ARM is superior. The advantage in battery life is simply undeniable. MBs can last several times longer and the more intensive the task is the longer it lasts. Moreover this translates into less heat. Ofc if you have less wattage you have less heat. This means that Apple not only leads in the top-end performance but also can sustain that performance. Windows laptops are simply unable to sustain performance for too long especially slim and light machines. Again this is more of an Intel/AMD problem but unless Samsung start making their own chips that's their problem as well.
Earbuds are generally equal.
@@ulikemyname6744 Very true things that i didnt know, once again i have little to no knowledge on apple so thank you for this info, For the apple laptops only thing that i could say is that windows would have over it would be gaming, variety, and upgradeability.
Battery is def one the most things a laptop would need to focus on to the specs they are giving/have with the model, def can say apple has that tucked in and well aware they are superior on the OS helping not use ALLOT of power and able to last 1 to even 2 days depending on how much you use it, higher end windows laptops usually do cause of the power hungry gpu and cpus now.
And I wonder how the new watch 6 classic, dont think its much better accept ram and it being classic, but hopefully the 7 will get it par or at least much better with features and small little random options that could help a specific person like with the depth feature you said. I did see a video of the watch 6 that they improved the sleep functions and I think some workout functions so hopefully they will keep improving in this.
Sorry if i seem jumbled in my words and sentences lol have hard time writing stuff like this.
I had an iPhone 13 pro, then switch to a pixel 7 pro when it came out last fall, and recently got an s23 ultra. All phones were great! I prefer the pixel over the iPhone, but I am loving the s23 ultra. I am shocked at how Samsung has improved the user experience and software experience over the past few years. I could give a crap about the blue bubbles. That only affects people with iPhones it doesn't affect me with my s23!
While I've never run into the blue-green bubble thing in real life, I don't think it could sway me towards iOS. Why should I purchase a phone that doesn't meet my needs, just because other people choose a messaging that intentionally downgrades their experience when communicating with other types of devices?
Nice review .. How do you feel shutter lag issue @ S23 ultra ?.. Thanks
Ah, one more fun fact. I worked for 2 years in customer service for an online company.
During this time, I noticed that the most rude, difficult and dumb customers always had "Sent from my iPhone" in their email signature. Just saying.
I was a long time iphone user. I did everything in life and work Apple and would get into debates over both phones. I have felt that over the past 5 years that Apple has brought nothing dramatic to the table for their devices. Steve Jobs always had something innovative to bring out for the company. Android systems have passed Apple years ago on hardware and functionality. I decided to go with a new s23 ultra in March. I was pretty nervous because I was so tied to the Apple ecosystem. The more I use this phone and experience the incredible features and customization it has, I wish I would have switched earlier. There are so many friends and family that only care about the blue bubble for messaging and airdrop but it is not a deal breaker for me. This is a great video explaining it all.
Love my Samsungs. I've used iphone a few times. I just prefer Samsung it has more freedom like having a mini computer. It's endless and the eco system is on par with apples not to mention washers, dryers, fridges, dishwashers, vacuums, smart lights and much more. 🔥🔥🔥 I want the watch I. Seriously thinking about it

well, s23 ultra can do everything that i phone does, plus it has super zoom camera, dex, spen etc. great performance, battery life. apart from a slightly weak haptic motor I see almost no weakness to it.
@@sercan272727 will it give stability in the long run??
@1971 mukit there is no stability issue with top tier flagships. People prefer iphones for some non existing reasons. They are really not superior to phones of same price . They are just one of the brands making phones, its personal preference really. You can't go wrong with any of the top mobile phone manufacturers.
I am a hardcore IPhone user but if Apple does not at least add a 10x zoom it will be goodbye. The one iOS advantage for me as a musician is the availability of music specific apps that work on all my iOS devices.
@@mukit1971 absolutely yes, i still got my old s8 that has like 6 years now and it works pretty fine, now i have an s20fe5g but i'm planning on getting the s23u soon, Samsung's doing great since the s8 series
Hey mate, between S23U and 14 PM, wich one should i go for it? I priorize photography, smothness on daily basis and future proof software, i have a daughter and i love to take pics and film her playing around, so i want something more like point and shoot and not be there waiting to focus to get a good result...
I own an iphone 14 pro and i'm so happy with it. You should choose the one you like the most. Don't stress too much about the specs
But the difference between photo and video on both phones looks significant. I'm looking for a phone camera and currently the S23Ultra appears better. And up until now I did not know that Samsung is the leader here.

Nothing touches the S23 ultra battery! 2 days of constant screen time, films, games! Crazy
Samsung s23 ultra 💜
Did you use the 12gb or the 8gb Samsung
Good deal, I was looking to buying a new photo. You just made my decision. S23 it is.
Phone you meant s23 ultra is pretty good I have a few androids and iPhone 13 and iPhone 12 Pro Max and s23 ultra and the s23 is really nice and huge improvement over the s22
I hate the iPhones camera. I’ve never understood why people say that it’s the best smartphone camera. It’s SO noisy and over sharpened. Both photos and camera. This was a great video my man
I had the 14 pro but switched to the s23u and am loving it in honesty thinking about switching back to Apple with the 15 pro max cause I'm one who just mainly listens to music, game and browse social media since I work slot, and I liked apple for the simplicity of there phones.
I think the extra features of the S23U shine through when you need it. I travelled around Australia for a few weeks and a lot of the wildlife you can't get too close to (due to conservation laws). I was able to get a tonne of close up videos and shots of crocodile feedings, Dingos, snakes, spiders, landscapes, etc. The battery kept up with me all day as well. It got to the point where several people in our groups asked me to shoot their content for them. These are features I almost never use at home, but to see how useful it was on a trip that I needed memories of was priceless
@@heeeydevon8262 yeah I'm just gonna stay with the s23u got a defender pro case and gonna keep it as my long term phone, I would probably regret it if I switched
Correction at 2:54, iPhones don’t use AMOLED panels, rather custom Super Retina OLED panels
I currently own the s23 ultra. I've been waiting for it to be produced with a nice chipset for a long time.
I'm thinking of buying the iPhone 14 pro max because of the problems I have with the interface. I am experiencing stuttering in social apps. The microphone of the connected bluetooth headset does not work. I hate typing lag and screen dropping to 60Hz There are a few strange problems like this. I was using Poco F3 before and never had such problems.Samsung has disappointed me once again.

Its kinda funny how apple has a rounder shaped phone and a square watch while samsung is the opposite.
First off, GREAT review! I’ve always been a Samsung fan, periodically I would switch to iPhone until the latest Samsung flagship would come out. I’ve been with iPhone since the 13PM and now with the 14PM. I loved the S22 ultra, but the thing that made me want to stay with iPhone so far is the display, speakers, iMessage and AirPod features. I watch A LOT of movies/tv shows on my phone so the speaker difference was big for me, but I think Samsung is a little better as far as customization and camera. I WILL be getting the new Galaxy Fold 2024, if the camera is better than last years, for sure!
Hey,have you seen comparisons of the s23 Ultra's and the 14PM's speakers? They're pretty close,so iphone leading in speakers might come to an end
@@wirlt hmmm yea, I mean Samsung speakers are just as loud almost, but what it ME is just the bass and clarity of iPhone speakers. Trust me I miss torrenting and downloading emulators. When Samsung’s fold or ultra has the specs I like on apple I will go back haha I can do without iMessage
@@Nathan-qn4pc you could use the EQ setting on the s23 ultra to help strengthen the quality. Eg tuning to make a deeper bass but I get it when Samsung makes those changes the products will really shine. Stuff like iMessage and facetime are things apple uses to connect everyone, basically making them feel like they don't want to leave or that they can't get out of the ecosystem or that they'll be lost without those things. But as an overall phone it's just what it has to offer, just your preference. Depends on what you like
Fold 3 5g user here. Yesterday, I opened my fold and my screen literally cracked, just by opening it. The inside screen is no longer usable and my quoted repair cost is $470. I've been using it since release. I'm leaving the fold family and going back to the normal form factor (ultra)
With snapdragon 8 gen 2, 100mp camera like s22 ultra and improved hinge, the upcoming fold 5 which will be released in august is definitely worth it ❤
The design of the iphone 14 pro max is very nice dont get me wrong. Ive owned android phone for the longest time and i almost switched to one. I had a friend who had one and he let me check it out. And im glad i did, i decided to get a s23 Ultra instead. No ragrets.
Best comparison I've seen between these 2 phones so far, great job 👏
Great review! I’m an iPhone 13 Pro Max user, and I’m sooooo bored! After watching this, you’re a legit reviewer for sure. Might make the switch ✔️
I know right
The Galaxy offers so much more usability-/productivity option. Offerst far more/better personalization options, better gaming- and multi-media experience and more innovation.
This is what the Ultra offers that the iPhone doesn't: DEX, S-Pen, Multi-Window, Multi-Tasking, inscreen fingerprint scanner, KNOX, file-manager, integration with X-box live, Windows and Spotify. 10 x optical Zoom, Super RAW mode, 200 MP lens, 8K video at 24 fps, camera integration with TikTok, Facebook and Instagram, far better widgets and customization options (themes), fast charging (45 W)m reverse wireless charging and last but not least 100% integration of Samsung's eco-system SmartThings with Mercedes's MBUX Voice Assistant.
Samsung's eco-system is much much larger with: refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, airco's, washing- and drying machines, tv's, soundbars, audio-systems (Harman Kardon), MBUX voice assistant from Mercedes/Maybach and so much more.
Yea and at the end of the day majority of the world and rich folks and celebrities are gonna buy an iPhone and don’t give a shit about that long list of specs u just read out 😅 only geeks will care abt all that
But it still won't allow me to make calls and send/receive texts on my Mac Mini. No Air Drop either because I hate cords!
@@CashCollecta I wish the 14PM came in 14 Yellow! Such a sexy color!
@@CashCollecta exactly, while you might be burning your money with the latest iPhone, the best thing about it is the simplicity and how the phone does everything for you in default without having to care about those extra nerdy stuff.

I couldn't live without my 23 ultra. Iphone needs to step it up. Maybe the 15 ultra will be the change they need.
I subscribed because you were honest and gave us an answer at the end, unlike some other tech youtubers who will preach preach and preach but finally sit on the fence at the end. Like common, just pick a side. It's not that deep. Kudos to you
objectively speaking, S23 Ultra blows away the iPhone 14 PM and its gimmicky dynamic island!
The curved screen will always be a bigger gimmick than the dynamic island. I’d be the first to throw my iPhone out if Samsung ever makes a flat ultra model.
Having owned several Samsung curved screen phones now, it's just the superior screen in every way. Flat display looks garbo now
@ShaneSymonds So are any of those two worth the money....for everyday life?
Amazing video as I own both of these products and Samsung has made significant strides. Even the entry s23 or s23 plus are better offerings than the base iPhone 14 and 14 plus, apple still for now on lightening cable and 60hz displays like come on now. I like both but that freedom and customization on android make it the easier device or more intriguing device to use. I wish iOS wasn’t so locked down to where I can’t even place apps where I want them without some major work around with using invisible widgets or other crazy means. Being able to add apps to my Home Screen folders on Samsung by just hitting add is amazing as opposed to the old drag and drop apple still uses.

You are right, the gap between Apple and Samsung is really narrowing. In 2023, I do believe a good mid range phone is perfect for the 90% mass. If you want a premium device, just go with the one you feel comfortable. You won't be disappointed.
Why would you want "premium" iPhone that is surpassed by superior 1/2 price smartphones from China in very short time? The only reason I would go for premium is the S-pen.

Get the iPhone 14 Pro. I had a Galaxy S10 for almost 3 years. I loved that phone. But recently got the iPhone 14 pro and I don’t think I will go back go to Android anytime soon. Smooth interface.

I keep noticing some heavy Samsung bias in the comments and I think a lot of Samsung users feel the need to justify their purchase or brand by commenting on several of these comparison videos even though the iPhone just speaks with its sales volumes, while Samsungs best selling phone will be its mid tier phones like the a series even their best selling ones will sell less than apples worst selling phone. You’ll constantly see Samsung knights defending their brand without actually having used either phone listing the severest gimmicky features of the Samsung like unpaid Samsung salesmen. Funny thing it’s not just the Samsung knights too Samsung relies on a sad desperate advertising tactics to get iPhone users to switch. They make fun of Apple devices only to be caught with a scandal of their own or to copy the exact thing they made fun of. And it just makes Samsung look like this sad desperate brand trying to cling onto apples larger market share which is one of the personal reasons why I won’t use a Samsung ever. And the reason for the sales discrepancy being that iPhones are simply just better. They last longer they hold value longer I mean hell the iPhone X has had almost 6 years of updates and you can still sell it for 200-300usd no Samsung phone will give you that. People just want stability and iPhone gives you that. Unless you want a 1100 hole in you pocket every year this doesn’t matter to you. Honestly the only android phone I can respect or switch to is a pixel. Dunno why I went on this silly rant just felt the need to voice my thoughts
