Your grandfather
Did I comment for you?
grin There's no need to be hostile, I'm not the cause of your hunger this afternoon-and whether you commented for me or not, what you said is a lie. I don't want to go into details. There maybe little nuances here and there between both devices but saying 14 pro beats 23 ultra on ALL benchmarks just shows what kind of a sandbag "phone reviewer" you're. Thats even if you're one to begin with. "Samsung s23 is the ultimate all rounder as it stands" and till another phone springs up subsequently with better features, that statement remains unchanged.

Both are really great phones forget benchmark scores and all that

My advice will be on the OS as I ve switched between both OS several times

Well consider these

If you transfer files alot like from pc to phone or using Bluetooth: stick with samsung cos with Iphone its stressful except you use a mac so you easily airdrop

You might want save your files to google including notes before you switch to ios

WhatsApp might not be easy to move to iphone

If you like modded or cracked APK then forget IOS

Check if your Watch or buds is IOS compatible else you might want to get new ones

Check if your fave apps are on IOS

Android is more flexible, less restrictions

But statistically speaking when Android users migrate to IOS they never come back (don't know if it's the iPhone status symbol, or maybe they were using low end Android device or if the IOS ecosystem thats responsible for this lol)

Really good breakdown with the exception of the cap at the end lol.

Lots of android users don't switch even if they have could. It's about preference, and not because they use low end androids

Looks to me like you still won't buy either of these phones, even if your thread had a thousand pages of useful arguments.

There's nothing you need that hasn't already been said. More comments may end up clouding your judgement, unless there's none and you're only enjoying the attention, plus the drama that comes with it.

Op if you hate stress,get the s23 ultra,you can't go wrong with it.Iphones cannot be truly enjoyed unless you are prepared to spend money on subscriptions and other apple accessories.With the samsung, it's plug and play.Besides the s23 ultra is better value for your money overall.

I will advise you to go for Samsung s22 ultra and forget about IPhone 14 Pro and Samsung s23 ultra. The Samsung s22 is the real deal. Check the specifications of Samsung s22 ultra and Samsung s23 ultra and you will know that the difference are not much while Samsung s22 ultra has more power life than S23 Ultra. I am presently using Samsung s22 ultra mobile after comparing both Samsung. I wish you goodluck

Both the iPhone 14 and Samsung S23 are expected to be high-end smartphones with advanced features and capabilities. Here are some key differences you may want to consider:

Operating System: The iPhone 14 runs on Apple's iOS, while the Samsung S23 runs on Google's Android. If you are already familiar with one operating system, it may be more convenient to stick with that system.

Design: The iPhone 14 is known for its sleek, minimalist design, while the Samsung S23 is often praised for its larger, high-quality display.

Camera: Both phones are expected to have advanced camera systems, but the specifics of each camera will vary. If camera quality is important to you, you may want to compare the features of each phone's camera system.

Price: The price of the iPhone 14 is expected to be higher than the Samsung S23. If budget is a concern, the Samsung S23 may be a more affordable option.

Ultimately, the decision between the iPhone 14 and Samsung S23 will depend on your personal preferences, needs, and budget. Consider comparing the features of each phone to determine which one is the best fit for you.

Creativity and research? We was Decompressing Operating systems Modifying it making our phones look like a Windows mobile or IPhone, bypassing restrictions basically turning our phones exactly how we want it! It doesn't get more creative than that. The face scanner must be perfected by apple because its all they have. Samsung don't put that much effort on it because they got the finger print scanner, the iris scanner and the face scanner. They tell you when putting the face scanner that it's not that strong and can be by-passed by someone that looks like you. Even the Apple face ID is still been by-passed and since its the only security feature they have they have to perfect it. Their ego won't make them come back to finger print atleast on screen finger print. About the song you are talking why can't you use a default music player to play your offline songs? Why? Why do you have to subscribe monthly or yearly to use apply music? We pay for apps we have free apps we have paid apps we have free music and we have premium music but why do I have to pay for the app which I will listen to the music ? Mind you when you pay for the music you don't own them you just listen to them and when your subscription is finished, you can't access them again! Why can't you listen to your music offline after paying for subscription?
It is obvious u don’t own an iPhone. I use iPhone now but was formerly using android.
With audiomack, and other apps, even the inbuilt player, u can play musics offline. Like the guy above said, android users are too use to free stuffs which is typical of Africans especially Nigerians. Wen it comes to OS, iOS is unbeatable. It’s super smooth and tantalizing. It is true iOS doesn’t permit sharing via Bluetooth and doesn’t accept files like android but that’s the beauty of iOS and it’s for security reasons and better ways to avoid virus. I see android as a whole and iOS as decent. Note, these are my own opinion. Gracias.

You know the actual problem, android users are used to free things they don’t care about creativity and research done to create whatever product they using. If all songs are put online for free the artist who owns the right to them how will they feed? Or you think these products and apps you download on stores, they took years to build and master, the people behind them stayed all night without food just to make life easy for you and you now want it all for free. I used to think like u but as u get to a stage in life u will understand what it means to support peoples work. U want a song pay a token for it. These features u said android made was perfected by apple. The android face scanner sucks, irritating but apple face id even in the darkest area works well. Its a personal thing and preference but for me only area apple should improve is the battery life aside that apple is bae.

This post reeks of sentiments. Apple's Face ID makes use of a 3D ToF sensor, which projects tiny dots on the users face and records the time it takes to travel front and back. This therefore translates to the depth of the users face and therefore the features of their faces. This is the reason why you cannot fool the Face ID with a picture. Budget androids on the other hand relies on their selfie camera to recognize the user and this is not so reliable because it can be fooled by a picture. But there are androids that use the same 3D ToF scanner that the iPhones use, and you know this. The Oppo Find X from 2018 for example, was a contender for Face Recognition accuracy with the iPhone X. Android OEMs just chose fingerprint sensors as they were reliable and more convenient to use😉

Everything is true here. Except where you talk about the price. S23 ultra ($1299 for the 256GB variant) is More expensive than the iPhone 14 pro Max ($1099 for the 256GB). The Camera system in the Samsung flagship also has some bit of edge to it. I hope you've heard of the 100* zoom. And I also think that Samsung pay and Samsung wallet offer a more secured pay platform especially when you synchronize it with your Samsung Galaxy watch

The only problem is android OEMs removed face ID cos there was no space when they all went for the hole punch.

iphone is the best, innovation, build quality, performance etc ios is way way ahead of android but you can’t see it all because you think granting you freewill to share files is all but bro there’s more to the internet and technology than those. When iphone eliminated the headphone jack Samsung mocked them and then followed suite. Now apple is moving towards wireless charging completely. Watch Samsung also eliminate their charging port also. I would pick iphone 12pro max over any Samsung I don’t care what they are offering.
No one mentions iPhones and innovation together. They're usually three generations behind on most smartphone technology. There's nothing great about moving to a completely wireless smartphone unless you want to have Apple control you even more tightly.
Re: Iphone 14 Or Samsung S23 by samsard(m): 1:22pm On Mar 21, 2023

You can actually modify the UI (I'll attach a picture of a simple modification I did in November on my iPhone 14 Pro Max). There are other things you mentioned that aren't completely correct.

Here are some facts:

All mobile OEMs copy features from one another. In fact, some companies thrive in dubbing other brands' devices look and features. Xiaomi can relate.

- Apple isn't one to jump headfirst into copy a feature when Android-based device makers have already pushed it out (even when not perfected) to their customers. Fingerprint scanner on Android devices had been out for 3 years and it was a joke the whole time, but when Apple added it to the iPhone 5S and 5C, it just worked.

We all know that Android is still battling with face unlock, although they introduced it first, but Apple's face ID has been Amazing since 2017.

What I'm trying to say is that:

- When Apple decides to copy a feature, they make it the Apple way. It just works.

- While I enjoy Android devices and have used several Samsung flagships, I love the app experience on IOS. While an app may look basic on Android, you'll get a whole different level oh wow on iOS.

You know why this happens? Apart from the fact that developers could code an app to work with iPhone iPad and MacBook without needing to rewrite their code, they (developers) are more motivated to put in more work because they tend to get a larger market of users willing to support them in cash.

This is why they don't put much work into Android apps development. I tend to use the Twitter Space a lot, and even if you use the Samsung S23 Ultra, you won't get a basic, but super useful search bar option when you click on "Spaces", which means you can't search for what interests you.

This is as frustrating as having to pay to use my music player, right? Wrong! Who says you have to pay for songs on iPhones? Just download Audiomack and you're good. But even at this, if you can spend $1000 on a phone, it shouldn't be hard to spend 900 Naira every month on Spotify subscription.

My conclusion:

iOS and Android are both amazing platforms, and it is a poor mentality to say that people only buy iPhones to show their status, or because they're Yahoo Boys who want to have many girls chasing them.

We should learn to respect other people's choices. People should be able to use iPhones, Android devices or even landlines and that's fine by everyone else.
Android manufacturers aren't pushing face unlock with 3D scanners because no one wants an ugly notch on their phone just to unlock it. It's not impossible to implement. I heard Google Pixel has had it in the past.
Personally I love the almost infinite feel of my S22+ screen instead of the giant ugly notch on iPhone 13 series downwards. Most apps I use are functional enough on Android. I don't need to nitpick to justify a closed ecosystem.

I've used over five Android phones in the last 3 years and I have never gotten a virus sharing files through Bluetooth and WiFi Direct or the USB cable even with the rooted one. I can use Spotify, Apple, Music, Audio Mack, inbuilt music player with downloaded songs and nothing happens.

Right? Apple wouldn't wanna put UD fingerprint sensors yet, because they'll wanna look for one feature they'll add to make it better on their phones, which is good. That's the reason they can't completely eliminate their notch yet. Maybe the iPhone 17 will change things😂 But my problem now is who is putting Apple and innovation in the same sentence?💩

That's your personal opinion, and I respect it. To you, the notch is ugly, but if it gives me the functional security features I need, I like it.

Truth be told, you barely notice this notch during your day-to-day usage of the iPhone.

About Google pixels having Apple's-level face unlock, you heard wrong. Do pixel phones used to have fugly notches and chins that carried no useful hardwares? YES.

The Samsung S22+ is an amazing device, though, but I pick Iphone 14 Pro Max. I hope we can shake on that.
