As a lifelong Android user, I've really been a fan of how mechanically and electronically refined Apple's newer iPhones have been. That paired with iOS receiving more of the features that I've been accustomed to makes me really want to give one of these a try.
I was also a lifelong Samsung user, and swore never to use an iPhone. Then my goalpost moved to never until Apple uses USB-C. Well, I switched to the 15 Pro Max last year and I'm on a 16 Pro Max now. Apple continues to prove me wrong (while also still doing very stupid things I hate) but I'm not mad I switched!
I've had androids since forever. Every time I have to get something setup on my wife's iPhones I really hate the experience. So much going back and forth between apps and settings and search and back buttons are in weird places. Love my Android!!
Looks like my case. Seeing how the Android and iOS are evolving, I decided to give iOS a try after living for 10 years on Galaxy series. That happened in 2022, still don't want to go back.
I watched your video 5 years ago where you tested the durability of the Samsung S10, and after that, I bought a second-hand S10 with my own money(Student Days). Until now, the S10 has been very usable with no screen damage and the performance is still superb. Now I use it as my editing tool for my UA-cam and Facebook page content. I am grateful that I saw your video that day! Awesome! Thank you! - A fan of yours from the Philippines
I bought the S10+ brad new back in the day, it was so bad after a year that I never owned any Samsung phone again. Only iPhone ever since. And I bought my mom a S22 Ultra+ when it was new, still seems like I made the right choice not owning any Samsung phone. She is not happy with Samsung,... Now I got iPhone 16 Pro Max and Motorola ;)
