So I had a 12 pro max and wanted to try something new. I’m not locked into the Apple ecosystem at all since I only owned an iPhone. I think the s23 ultra is an amazing phone and android as a whole is fairly nice.
However, I ended up selling my s23 ultra and went for the 15 pro max. I’m very surprised to say I think the 15 pro max has a better camera for photos and videos also the shutter lag is non existent on iPhone. Taking pictures of moving objects feels almost impossible on the ultra. Also, Face ID, FaceTime, I message, password management, and a few more things just feel so damn polished on Apple.
I’m very surprised myself that I actually came back to Apple so quickly. But yeah quick little rant!
Curious to see if anyone had a similar experience?

I was a die hard android until I got the iPhone 13. Every reason you mentioned and more. No bloat wear (2 app stores 2 web browsers 2 voice assistants etc) iOS takes up approx 10 gigs android takes up approx 20 gigs. Ya apple all the way now
I am using a 14 Pro for my personal device and S21 Ultra as my work and everything else device. IMO, they are both great 📱. They are both stunning devices and aesthetically pleasing. Each has their own pros and cons. Side-load apps on android and controlled, more private ecosystem on iOS. Can’t say one is better than the other. They are just both excellent!
Ha! I sold mine 13 Pro and bought S23 Ultra - and guess what? Now its sold and I am waiting for 15 Pro Max. Despite having a great camera the overall user experience with S23 Ultra was not so good and although Samsung did a great work through the years, they are still light years behind Apple.
My old 11 Pro took miles better videos than my S21 Ultra. I just dont understand how Samsung can let this happen on a $1200 phone. They make the sensor, they make the chipset and still the videos are full of grain and noise.
I was a Samsung user, my last phone was a Galaxy S8. I heard the iPhone X was using a Samsung OLED screen and that they dropped the physical button. Two years later I had an iPad, another year later a Macbook Pro. The rest is history.
Currently saving up to trade in my 16" M1 Max for a 14" M3 Pro.
I’m about to go from Android to iPhone and can’t wait to make the jump.
I got to get a taste of a premium, flagship android, and I’m not gonna lie brother there are definitely some cool features, but I promise you the stability, reliability, simplicity, and just overall the more premium feel of iOS will definitely keep you happy.
Had the s23 for 5 months, now Iphone 15 pro.
Camera of the S23 could not give me a Single clear and Not grainy photo. Maybe it was defective but goddamn.
I could also not feel at home when my parents (google and Samsung) fought over every service. I still don‘t know which passwords are saved where.
I won’t leave Apple for security and privacy alone.
I thought about upgrading to a S23 a couple of months before the 15 came out but I knew I would just wind up switching back so I didn’t lol.
Currently own an s23 which I know doesn’t compare to the ultra, switched from the 14 pro and I honestly regret it as this phone has been giving me issues nonstop (messages lagging, not getting messages, battery life, overheating. Etc) as much as I wanted to give android a shot this has not been the best experience for me.
I had a 15 pro for a month, and I used an s23 ultra bevor. I am currently selling the 15 pro.
The S23 just feels way smother when scrolling and using it in general.
I really liked all the iPhone features. And I am sad to miss them now.
My girlfriend has the small s23, and it just feels way faster just by looking at her using it.
