Well when Linus Tech, JerryRig uses Android and can't stand iPhone limitations, it's normal that more people understand what's better

My own two cents is that you shouldn't lock yourself in into any ecosystem because of exactly the inconveniences that you mentioned. It gives the illusion that you can't switch because "it's going to be such a hassle". I own the S24U, a MacBook Pro, and Sony earbuds. Do I miss out on a lot of fluidity between devices? Hell yeah. But ignorance is bliss. Since I've never been part of an ecosystem, I don't care as much as to what I'm missing. Previously, I owned a OnePlus and JBL earbuds. I'm happy not to feel compelled to get the same brand every time I upgrade.

You're the first YTer that I have come across that actually brought up the Pro Mode camera features. I get that most smartphone users are not photographers so they won't relate to pro settings and manual anything. They just want end results. But I pre-ordered the S24 Ultra for that main reason. I have the iPhone 12 Max and I just needed better control of these camera lenses than what iPhone gave me. I'm not completely sold on the entire Samsung eco-system, nor am I with Apple, but Android gives you choices, and I like that. Another main thing is Dex, and Dex with Lightroom Mobile. The 2 combo is a deal breaker for me. I'm an amature street photographer, and whether I carry my cameras or the phone, I wanna be able to come home and just edit on a larger screen, zero transfer needed. Dex is just chef's kiss.

Samsung phones have had multi-app support including floating windows and split screen for years. Go into the recent apps menu tap the app icon above the card and you'll see options for multi-window stuff. U can also drag from the corners to make floating windows iirc.

So I'm happy to move to Android one then use iOS the next if I wanted to. So happy with my S24 Ultra. But other than the Watch6 (which I got for cheap), I am not buying other Samsung products with the intention of it working well together. It's just so sad to see people literally stuck using an iPhone because of the garden its users trap them in and seeing a example like yours is just so, so sad.

How do u manage to swop the whole ecosystem, most stuff on iCloud is not even compatible such as reminders , etc…

Just got the Titanium Violet Ultra to replace my Nothing Phone 2 and while there's aesthetic differences which I'll miss, this Ultra phone is a significant upgrade overall...including battery life. which is insane.

Where is the link to the mini keyboard??

Didn't use gesture navigation? Gotta use gboard as well.

I had an iphone since its inception and had it thru cingular wireless (before at&t) i thought it was great had one all the way to iphone 11 pro max i was tired of the limitations and feeling trapped dont get me wrong the ecosystem is nice but not enough for me to stay anymore than i seen the galaxy note series and had to try it i havent looked back since actual multitasking being able to run to apps side by side not just jumping between one and the other and emulating old school games it finally felt a phone that i can do my own way not apples way than i upgraded to a fold 3 this elevates everything and transfering personal stuff is easy i pay my bills and my accou ts are on here as well

I gave it a try with s9 tab, couldn't see myself using it for something serious, so I returned it. Galaxy watch looks like kids watch, in my opinion. Ultra 24 might be good, but I just think it's not worth trying to switch, since I probably won't like it 😅

Just switched to my 24 Ultra. Seems big but I agree it fits great in the hand.

I set mine up from scratch so I could review what apps I wanted on my phone. I changed from the 3 button setup that it ships with to gesture navigation. I also prefer Gboard to the stock keyboard. Otherwise I am loving mine.

Another option for the keyboard is to add symbols into the background of the letters. So then all you would do to add a question mark to the end of the sentence is long press the letter m and it will add it. No more toggling through pages of crap to do numbers and symbols like iphone.

I know what you mean about feeling smaller, I just went from s22 ultra to s24 ultra and the good feeling I get from just holding it is amazing, everything about the s24 ultra is just beyond other experiences with phones, this phone with the ai ect is just a game changer and a new bench mark in smart phones

If you can afford to have two phones and that's what makes you happy I say do it.

I switched to Android about 6 months ago, mostly - my iPhone XR and Airpods were getting old, my Apple Watch SE I could sell for pretty close to what I paid for it, so all in all it was pretty easy to swap it over all at once - the whole transition was a net $450 for some last-gen recent refurbished top end products. The OS took some getting used to, but once I did it's just so much more comfortable to use. It's hard for me to use my iPad anymore except with a keyboard attached, I keep wanting to do things that either don't have an Apple equivalent or it's simply less intuitive - why can't I splitscreen apps vertically? Why do certain apps refuse to let me split them? Why does Apple not let you resize the slideover window like you can floating windows in Android, nor let you use a Stage Manager resizeable window over a fullscreen app? Lots of little things like that crop up. I still use my iPad regularly, it's handy to have a full-sized tablet with keyboard for whatever purpose and it probably gets an hour or so of use a day still, plus there's a bit of Apple-only software that I still use - but when Apple's tablet is being out-tableted by a Z Fold 4 in everything other than screen size, well, whenever my iPad is in need of replacement I'm just gonna get a Galaxy Tab. I can get over losing access to Find My, ProCreate, and the ability to actually use Apple services on the occasion my family sends me proprietary notes or whatever.

It has been a week since I made the "Swap" from iPhone 14 Pro to galaxy Z fold 5, the only thing I miss is Apple Pay, every thing else is much much better than the iPhone.

Smart people with taste get the titanium orange color - just like me ;-) (but did you get the 1TB storage?)

I understand the pain and personally use two phones for work and personal life. Not the best solution but get the best of both worlds and upgrade yearly so always have the latest and greatest. Having said that not sure why there is so much hate for iPhones and iOS in general for comments on most KZread videos? Android and iOS are very similar with both borrowing heavily from each other, additionally apple’s ecosystem is awesome, isn’t a good ecosystem that works flawlessly what everyone wanted before we had one and what most tech companies are working towards? Plus their phones are great and do everything well whilst being best in class in most of the categories that matter to normal users with most apps being more polished in iOS on top of that. So I’m really not sure where this hate comes from. Especially since all these phones are priced nearly identically!

The only way I was able to switch is financing through verizon and no way on earth am I going to refinance a $1300 phone. I was so ready to switch, but deep down inside I know when the iPhone 16 pro comes out I’ll want to go back to iPhone, I’m already deep in the ecosystem and it works flawlessly, no need to switch.

I made the switch the other way around 5 years ago and never looked back. The security on Windows/Android is trash and that's the main reason. I miss my windows PC, I miss my Android phone, but I just don't want to go back with all these hackers messing around. It's just a safer environment to be on an iPhone/Mac.

I went with the same colour option

Had the Ultra for a bit but then switched back to iOS. I truly loved the phone & had no complaints. My complaint & reason to go back to iOS is truly because of my family as well. Virtually all on iOS.

Tried the s24 but couldn’t stay on it once I found out I have to jump through hoops to send a video on android . Sent pictures and the receiver got them hours later or they never received them at all. I need this to be fast and easy for work purposes and android just can’t do it for me. video calling client to show them my work on progress and realized how much I missed the smoothness and easiness of FaceTime. The customization and display were miles better but I need certain things that android just isn’t as good at yet. If iMessage and rcs do their thing this year I might consider it again.

I have always said that Samsung makes really nice handsets. Much better than Apple. I just cannot deal with the Android operating system. If I could get iOS on a Samsung handset I'd do it in a minute.

9:12 Is Apple also a bank? Or why is it si hard to use a normal bank/card instead of relying on Apple pay or whatever? Is this yet another US only thing that I am too EU to understand?

They may not be a specific bank, but they have agreements that include banks into Apple Pay that families might be using as their high yield savings account/bill pay system.

Oh, I was confused here as well. So you are able to use apple wallet/pay to do things with bank accounts, just using apple pay to buy a drink at the gas station.@@TheEverydayDad

I like both. But apple really needs better Bluetooth settings maybe it’s just me not knowing how to use it but with android I can have all phone calls run through my ear buds and my audio like music etc set to my speakers and apple doesn’t have that setting pretty annoying actually.

Been an iPhone user since the S8+ and then even before that. Both Samsung and Google are tempting me big time, though! My bride will continue to be on iPhones, so that'll add a bit of a ruffle into the switch if it ends up happening.

That’s one of the problems why I couldn’t switch I had bought the S24 ultra and my family is all iOS too. I couldn’t pay my bills like I was on iPhone. It through my pattern all off so I just sent it back and stayed with my iPhone. So I know how you was feeling, I didn’t think it was that big off a deal. Didn’t know I was in so deep. Now I see how big of deal it is for me I won’t even think of going to anything else but iPhone.

You could just use the iPad for all your other family Apple needs

I got the 24 Ultra and they got a good thing going. I went back to iPhone but I want to see what the z fold 6 looks like. Even though I think Apple has the better ecosystem to me I do believe the ultra is the better phone but Apple has the better ecosystem

My S23 is working like a champ!

Gary I just swapped out iPhone 15 pro, iPad pro 11 M1, watch Ultra for S24 Ultra, Watch6 40mm WiFi and Tab S9 Pro. Signing into all my apps was a PITA, but so far all good.

How you like it

Nice we have the same color Iphone 15 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. I Love the Orage color. It's way better than my Iphone that I rarely pick up by the way.

Hear me out from a content creator's perspective. I've been exclusive to iPhone and the ecosystem since the 5s. I decided to try the 24 Ultra. Every review says the iPhone video is just slightly better than what Sammy can produce so I stayed. What I didn't consider was the features of the camera app itself. 1.Dual camera with separate video files is so useful for getting different zoom ranges or a selfie cam and forward facibg cam at the same time. 2.The S Pen as a built in remote shutter. 3. 16:9 photos for thumbnails 4. Better transition when switching lenses. 5. Switching between front facing and rear facing cameras with continuous recording. 6. Pro video as you mentioned. All my adulting is done per app rather than in iCloud accounts so that has been a non issue on my end so that only leaves iMessage and Facetime that I'm missing after the switch. The only other drawbacks I can think of is app function. Capcut, Lumafusion, and Godaddy Studio (where I make thumbnails) are almost as good as ios but not perfect. I usually edit on the macbook anyway so not a huge deal and Airdrop is so inconsistent Id rather just plug in to transfer files.

Real world, someone has an iPhone, and iPad and a Mac. I would like to see the scenario with a video of this where only the phone is swapped, not the entire ecosystem!!!! Now, the software you choose will depend on how hard this scenario becomes. If you use all Apple apps, this is impossible. If you use Microsoft O365, then it’s a bit easier.

Pay bills through your bank or credit union app. I can't help you with your son... I am a Samsung user.

Just recently, I got into the apple ecosystem with the iPhone 12, but I already decided that I would have both android and apple. I like both of them. However, you have more flexibility with android.

"if i can do it, you can do it"

I use a Mac computer(and M3 max macbook on order) with everything else being samsung. Tab s8 ultra, galaxy watch 4 classic..... phone Note 10+(s24 ultra coming soon). I really only use apple because i need it to run Logic pro, and dont want to start over learning a new digital audio workstation. There's something to be said for being in one eccosystem, but also something to be said for using products from different companies and experiencing the best of what each has to offer. I think apple is too dull and restrictive with iphone, and i do not enjoy ios on ipad either. Apple's strength is in their computers for me. I only had one iphone (4s), then switched right back to android, and have not looked back since. Other than a very brief stint with an ipad about 2 years back that i quickly sold for a samsung galaxy tab instead. Imesssage was missed for about 2 weeks and now....i just dont care. Yes sharing files with iphone users is more difficult, but that is 100% the fault of apple.....so i dont mind getting that grainy video or just not gettinng it at all 😂 Samsung looks for ways to give to more options for you devices......Dex is just fantastic.
