It would be a really tough choice. I love both phones and they both have their strengths and weaknesses. I'm on an iPhone 11 Pro right now (best iPhone ever made in my opinion). When it comes to the camera I'd choose the 14 Pro Max for it's more true-to-life colour science and video quality. If I had to choose a phone for productivity and versatility I'd have to choose the S22 Ultra because Android is just a smarter OS, perfect for tech enthusiasts that want to tailor their device's functionality very deeply.
Excellent video, Aaron. If I were a heavy photo/vid user, I'd have to go with the S22 Ultra. I'm not a fan of the way the iPhone 14 Pro Max takes such 'darkened' photos. I have a 14 Plus and my pics do not look darkened at all. Same with my videos. But since I'm *not* a heavy photo/vid user, my preference would be the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It's been my experience that nothing beats the Apple Ecosystem due to its ease of use and convenience.
2 months earlier i changed my xiaomi to an iphone(older modells).I think two thing is far better in an android:the first is the play store.Lots of app and far more free apps.The second is far easier copying music and videos to an android device from a windows pc
I was an android user for over 10 years, now I'm absolutely enjoying the apple ecosystem. Both phones are fantastic and now it's more of a personal choice.
I feel like IOS just makes your life easier. I find my self constantly having to fine tune my android experience. Why do i need to mess with the speech rate of the youtube search results? I mean who asked for that, seriously???
Literally this for me as well. Android user since the “hey-day” of HTC devices and then moved on to Galaxy Notes & Pixels. Last year I crossed over to the dark side and got my first Apple device. The 13 Pro Max. And now after experiencing the Apple ecosystem for the past year….. Yeah it’s going to be hard to give this up.
As a long time Apple user, I’ve thought several times about switching to Android. Apple taking a decade to add what Android has drives me nuts sometimes.
I used an iPhone XS Max and an 11 Pro Max and I loved them, but then I switched to the Note20 Ultra and since then I love Samsung. My current phone is the S22 Ultra and I couldn't return to Apple because the heavy customization on Samsung and above all, the S Pen, which has been pretty useful for my job.
@@boomheadshot231 ya I don't buy that. My brand new s8 lagged in 2 months lol. You just don't notice it. You got use to the lag so it's perception. Just google s9 lag lol. You'll see the masses. Heck even people with the s22 ultra are saying there's lag. Ya but your s9 doesn't lol impossible
@@xShinobiXx first 4-5 months my phone had a little lags here and there, but after that it got fixed and now it's seemless. I didn't get used to it, I notice when it lags every tike and now I don't even remember the last time my phone lagged.
I'm in love with the Samsung ecosystem: S22+, Tabs S7+, Galaxy Watch 4, Buds pro and Samsung TV. Love the synced notifications, gallery, calls and clipboard the automatic switch features
@MrKhan the s22 ultra is a great phone. One of the big reasons I went back to Apple is the customer service. Both times I’ve had an issue requiring service with Samsung, they have told me they would send a replacement device. That device never came. Both times I called, I was told they don’t have any in stock and could send me a different device, which I did not want. They then tell me they would send the full cost of the phone back to me. That’s great, but I didn’t want the money back, I wanted the same phone I had in working order. Apple has never done that to me; if a replacement was warranted, I got it, no questions asked. Not to mention, the 14 pro max is a wonderful device. Sure, it does lack some features the Samsung has, but it also possesses some of the same features, and in many cases, the iPhone executed them in a much better fashion. TLDR: you’ll be very happy with either phone; they’re both powerhouses. The iPhone has s better battery. If you want a stress free customer service/warranty experience, go with the iPhone.
Samsung battery life is just always disappointing. At first it is fine, same like all the other battery testing videos, but as you proceed to install more apps and it won't last more than 5 hours of SoT. That's the main reason I move to iPhone, it can easily bring me through a whole day without charging and most importantly it won't drain without reason when I am sleeping.
I've been completely in the Apple eco-system for about 4 years now. Currently using an iPhone 13 Pro. I miss my Note though! I'm thinking about switching to the S23 Ultra a couple months after it comes out to see how it holds up. I do like iOS but I used the s-pen for a number of things and the Ultra camera set-up is more to my liking. I have several months to ponder it so that's nice. I enjoyed the vid Aarron, as always. Clear and concise!
I own an S22 Ultra and the S Pen has been very, very useful for my job. Also Samsung has improved a lot in terms of software, the days if lag are gone for good. And you can buy the S Pen from a Galaxy Tab and it improves a lot the experience.
I left Android 2 years ago, just remember Samsung doesn’t often fix software issues and forget about Android software being updated when android releases new build numbers which means apps will be buggy since are automatically update to the new build numbers. While I completely admit you can customize more on android but everything apple does that Android does it does waaaaay better. If video is important then apple smokes android still.
@@Tech69YT it’s definitely takes more contrasting pictures that seem instagram ready but definitely not true color like iPhone. iPhone definitely has the better video quality.
My 14 Pro Max was just delivered today and I’ve spent the last several hours setting it up. I don’t mind the lesser configurability. When I was still on Android I used to spend many hours downloading UIs and widgets, arranging icons, what have you. Until I realized I spend 80% of my time in an app and hardly ever see the Home Screen.
That's interesting. Everyone's different. The way I have my widgets set up, I look at Reddit, Messages, Calendar, etc... all on my homescreen. I even respond to emails and messages within my notification shade. Honestly, my personal deal breaker for iOS is the horrendous notifications system. At the risk of being a little hyperbolic, Android 2.1 had better notifications.
@@avenuePad *"Everyone’s different"* True, that. *"I look at Reddit, Messages, Calendar"* I have reddit, email, calendar, clock, weather and photos widgets on my home screen. For me, personally (emphasis on "personally") all the extra configurability - launchers, icons, themes, etc. - was a major distraction. I’d spend hours trying out launchers, retheming, rearranging, reorging, only a week later to read some review of some new bestest ever launcher and start all over again. A year or so of that later I realized the endless search for the perfect look-and-feel was not only a tremendous time sink, it just didn’t make any difference in productivity terms. I get it - for many people that extra configurability is important. For me, not so much. I’ve not much experience with Android notifications, so I can’t speak to that. But Android lacks iMessage and the Apple ecosystem, both of which _are_ important to me.
@@nathanaelculver5308 Oh, I 100% agree that homescreen configuration can be a massive time-sink. But that's not just an Android thing. iOS users post all the time about their excruciatingly tedious homescreen customizations where they have to go through 10 steps just to configure one icon. Android customization is a lot easier and less time consuming; however, it's still a rabbit hole if you get caught up in it. I have experience with both iOS and Android notifications. It's not a controversial statement to say that iOS notifications are a hot mess. I'd argue that you don't even have to have Android to compare them with to just realize that the iOS notification system is horrible. Even the most ardent Apple fan will concede that notifications are better on Android.
@@avenuePad *iOS users post all the time about their excruciatingly tedious homescreen customizations* Lack of customizability compared to Android is a conscious Apple design decision. Maybe those Apple users who spend so much effort trying to work around the restrictions would be happier with a Pixel. For me, consistency of user experience and productivity are more important than the ability to customize icons. *the iOS notification system is horrible* _Shrug_ I’ll take your word for it. Except Calendar, Mail and a couple of messaging apps, I disable everything. I prefer a quiet phone, so the only notification feature I need is the ability to disable notifications.
If you want an iPhone then nothing beats the 14 Pro Max. But if you want Android I feel the S22 Ultra has still been the best throughout the whole year and considering it released early 2022 that's pretty impressive. The S23U should take things up a couple more levels too, not a massive upgrade from the rumours but probably a solid one. If iOS had the same level of customisation as android then id absolutely consider using it as my daily but let's be realistic that's never gonna happen, not for a long time at least anyway. Good video man 👍
But sd8gen2 of samsung with better architecture than regular sd8gen2 and A16 more efficiency and better performance better camera i think iphone 14 pm will not compete with s23u and vivo x90 pro plus xiaomi 13pro
Actually the level of customization on android is way too much for most people. Way too many options, way to menu menus to remember and most customizations will never be used by the general buyer. I have the S22 Ultra and Fold 4. Honestly, I would never play with the amount of customizations available nor choose any of them over my iPhone 14 Pro Max. But that is preference. I am glad iOS doe snot have this level of customization. iOS has just enough and that is all that is really needed.
@@enterprisecreations1492 @Enterprisecreations but what you said there is totally down to your opinion of course, which you're free too obviously! Getting used to things comes with time, a lot of people who use ios pick up an android and don't have a clue how to use it, simple because they aren't used to it. It can come across as overpowering and a lot to take in because compared to ios... It kind of is. An android phone can definitely be simple to use if the person using it wants it to be, and if they wanna tweak and adjust things to no end, they can do that too. It's all down to choice is it not? I know plenty people who use android and don't care for the stuff that I do with my device, they just use in the simplest form. Do you not think it would be nice for the customisation to be there IF the person wants it? Instead of just assuming nobody does and not offering it?
@@Alexander0189 I went from Android to Apple about four years ago. My experience was similar to @Enterprisecreations: I understand people who love all the customizability; for myself personally, I found it a time sink. I’d spend endless hours configuring things that just had no effect on productivity. As a toy, all the configuration was fun to play with; as a tool, it contributed nothing. Just my experience, of course.
@@nathanaelculver5308 that's absolutely fair enough. This is very much down to a personal thing. I don't see my phone as a tool... personally. Im not someone who views my phone as something that "gets stuff done". My phone is purely for pleasure, I don't need or use it for work etc. For me it's a reflection of who I am and I like to customise it to my liking and it's something I enjoy doing. So ye each to their own really!
I just jumped from S22 Ultra to 14 Pro Max and I just miss some features like the S pen and customisation. And like you said right now android feels more stable than IOS. But I love to be back to flat screen and at least 2 extra hours of battery life
Hi Aaron good video. I think the pictures from the Samsung look great and the audio seems better to when doing video. I have pixel 7 and iPhone 14 but cannot decide what one should be my main one. 👍
I actually own the s22 ultra and 14 pro max and i preferred samsung for almost everything except the battery life and optimization.Iphone has an incredible battery,i hope samsung will step up its game with s23 line up
I had the s20 ultra and the 11 Pro max, I used the ultra more then I upgraded to the s21 ultra and 12 pro max, I used the ultra more. When I upgraded to the s22 ultra, I sold my 12 pro max and now only use it. When u have them both, chances that u will use the ultra than the promax are very high. Will try the 15 Pro and see if I will like it more than the s22
@AD exactly that's what what happened to me, i had the s21 ultra last year worth 13 pro max but i ended up returning the iphone and the same thing happened this year, iphone isn't just for me for some reason, it lacks so many thing in my opinion
It's crazy how there are much larger batteries in most android phones, yet the iPhones last longer. Software optimization! Thank you for these videos too, they are perfect.
@@crovian1985 not going to change anything. The 20% is not going to translate perfectly over to the battery. You'll likely just get 10% better. So like 30 mins more. Iphone still is beating all these with like 900mah less battery. And that 10% is only considering Samsung doesn't use more power. Which it's likely will use more power because they love stuffing the phone to the max.
We’ll see what happens with Xiaomi 13/13 Pro, S23 series smartphones, new Oppo Find X but i don’t believe they can beat Apple in battery life. I just want a real improvement. It’s not a war.
For the battery, I just wanted to add that it also greatly depends on your screen settings with the s22 Ultra. If you have the WQHD+ option turned on, you will lose a great chunk of your battery within the first 2 hours, depending on what you're doing.
Whats the point of buying such an expensive phone if you are not planning to use it at it's best Performance? In that case you should save some money and buy a cheaper phone.
@@aluimmumitat oh for sure. I'm not saying to use the lesser quality, I'm just saying that's what's happening in most cases. I love when you get those "HOW TO GET THE BEST BATTERY LIFE FROM S22 ULTRA!" recommended vids and the second "tip" is to use the lesser quality.
Samsung makes me feel excited, iPhone makes me feel at ease. After using the Galaxy S3, S8+ and the ZFlip 1… I got lazy. The so so battery life, constantly keeping my phone on Power Saving to make it through a day, the constant tweaking in settings, and waiting months just for an Android update to trickle down to my device, I got frustrated after my ZFlip starting giving me only 2 hours of screen on time. I have the 14 Pro Max now. Is it exciting? Well yeah for the first week or so but overall no. Is it head turning like my ZFlip? No because everyone else has an iPhone. But is it reliable? Yes, its buttery smooth and I have awkward moments like worrying about my battery and checking the battery level only to realise “Oh wow so this is what the buzz about iPhone battery life are about”. Even Apple’s ios16 battery drain issue was quickly fixed and 16.2 was quickly rolled out. I’m a Postgraduate student and work 22 hours a week, I just need a phone that works and lasts me through at least half a day without having to make compromises on functionality
I have an iPhone 14 Pro but I must admit I miss the S Pen of my Note 10+ that I had a few years ago. I'm very happy to continue with an Apple device because Face ID suits me better than fingerprint technology but I would love it if either Apple had an S Pen equivalent (this will never happen) or if Samsung used an equally secure version of Face ID. I always enjoy your videos Aaron. 🥰
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 (pictured) that I use in tandem with my iPhone 14 Plus. (Yes, I bought the Plus simply because I don't care about the 'Dynamic Island' or the 'Always on Display' or the supposedly superior camera module(s). It's also been my experience that the 60 Hz refresh rate of the 14 Plus makes its battery life superior to just about anything I've ever owned.) I find that switching between these 2 devices keeps me from getting bored with one of the OSes being used all the time.
I’ve used Samsung phones for most of my life until the summer of 2019. That year I began to add to my collection of Apple devices so I decided it was time to switch to iPhone. The added bonus that I wasn’t counting on was how clean the iPhone was, free of unwanted software that you’re unable or afraid to get rid of, the constant pop up’s and other weird things that I just grown used to. This all disappeared when I got an iPhone, granted nothing is perfect but if for some reason I ever went back to Android it would have to be the Pixel. I’ve grown to appreciate pure unadulterated software in both my phones and other computers
Of course. Nothing beats the clean stock os without all the bs. I guarantee you didn't even use 70% of the Samsung features. It's just not meaningful stuff
@@xShinobiXx are you an android hater? Every person has their own preferences and yet again you don't know what you are talking about. I, for instance, use most of the Android features on my phone.
@@boomheadshot231 no. Using a pixel 7 pro now. And it's way better than other androids despite having less hardware top of the line components. Performance and fluidity is always my top priority. So remove features and make the phone super fluid is better than less fluid but packed with features. So I just don't agree that Samsung has that balance. Way too many useless stuff. Pixel is nice tho
@@boomheadshot231 first was s4. Then s8. The s8 everyone said the same thing as today. It's got no lag. Also the s9. Same thing. The fanboys said no lag. It has a buttload of lag and I couldn't even use it. Just returned it. Now I'm on the pixel to give android another shot. Pleasantly surprised the pixel is actually decent as fluidity. So far this is good
After getting my first iPhone ever 12 PRO MAX I don't think I can ever go back to an Android device. I like the updates for security and the iOS updates Apple provides. I feel Google and Samsung are a lot slower at getting security and operating system updates are way to slow. Thanks for providing all the content and information that you do Aaron.
For me it boils down to investment in the overall ecosystem. My investment is in Apple's iOS, so therein lies my preference. I see no point in second guessing my decisions, since I've been making them for several decades now, and second guessing just wastes the relatively little time I have remaining. On the other hand, we have two Windows PCs, one a custom desktop build, and the other being a manufacturer's laptop. I've long since moved on from touting or hyping one type over the other. This is due largely to :::clearing throat::: ecosystem investment. I might've already mentioned that.
Your camera comparison was surprising. To my eyes the Samsung pics all seemed to have more realistic color and shading. The one exception was the night vision.
I have the S22 ultra, it depence from photo to photo, not all pictures having the right color ;). Not by the samsung, not by the iPhone, not 1 phone is 100% correct. S23 Ultra gonna have a big upgrade for night vision, finally , we gonna see it within 3 weeks. I gonna buy the S23 Ultra. Android is also freedom.
I have tried iphone 13 pro max and 14 pro max but i always go back to samsung. Honestly apple is missing so many features especially multitasking, customization etc...On iphone the back button only works while swiping on the left side or the corner of the screen but on android you can swipe from the left of right,the list of downside for me about an iphone is so long.IOS is a little better and more optimized on and the battery life is incredible,that's the main advantage of an iphone in my opinion but for the rest i will take samsung any day
@@xShinobiXx wtf are talking about ?! ... its not 2012... Android is better optimalized than ios nowdays..i just went from 13 pro max to s 22 ultra so.... its insane how well samsung runs...
@@12587drago ya bs. Go to the subreddit and see how many issues plague Samsung phones lol. I just responded to a post of someone using the s21 and after one year the battery is shot and he needs a new phone 😅 go to the pixel subreddit and see how many android users leave Samsung due to buggy laggy software and go to Google pixel because it’s smooth. Ya right! Bs. Samsung lags
@@knight6731 ya I agree if you’re ok with the slightly reduce stability, less refined apps and webpages. A camera that can’t record past 10 mins in 4K 60fps. Less optimized games. And the slightly less smooth animations and stuff. Of course that’s the trade off and ya you’ll gain a bunch of performance perks iOS doesn’t do to maintain high speeds
The HDR brightness issue in Netflix on my S22 Ultra is extremely annoying. Switching to S23 Ultra cause the S22 had way too many issues for my liking. Never going over to iPhone though, I can't stand iOS which I use at work.
Waited for the notes to finally catch up in performance and battery life because I wanted an s pen. Was hoping the 23 was the one but I got a 14 pm anyways. I’ll be hoping the ultra 25 is the one after I upgrade this one
iPhone for me mate, all the way! Love the ecosystem, my entire family is on board and I couldn’t ask for more. I also know my phone will have years of updates. Upgraded from the XS max to the 14 pro max w/ 1tb. Excellent build quality and features. Although it’s a bit gimmicky, i actually like the “Dynamic Island.” 😂 Much appreciate your channel and your hard work to keep us in the know! Cheers mate!🇦🇺 Edit:typo 🧐
Hi Aaron Samsung has increased the quality of its phones. One thing i like about Samsung phones is all buttons are placed on right hand side of phone like Switch Off & Reset & Silent ones. The picture quality of Samsung S22 was much better. Although iPhone has produced great pics in till IOS 15 but this year pictures are over compressed in IOS 16 which is disappointing. Moreover Android 13 has some great features. Samsung has slight edge in terms of picture quality moreover video can paused and resumed in android but not in iOS. In comparison between Samsung S22 & IPhone Pro Max both are good quality phones . Thank you for your dedicated & lovely comparison video.
Got my 14 pro max yesterday. What keeps me with the iPhone is how easy it was to transfer everything from my last phone, no fuss at all and within half an hour it was completely set up.
@@thirdtres every android phone I ever had would get to about the 18 month mark and things would just stop working, most memorable example was the gps when I desperately needed navigation. Never again.
@@ContactFault Yes, android memory management is atrocious and eventually the whole thing slows to a crawl. Apple's iPhone overtime with new OS updates actually makes the phone faster!
Who wants to pay for an additional $129 apple pencil and force to pay for type c to lighting adapter to charge their apple pencil with the all new ipad? Yuck.
I havent seen one youtube vid that says the iphone 14 lineup is a good buy. Nobody can beat that s22 ultra. Even without the s23 the iphone 14 lineup gets bad reviews.

I know people love Apple ecosystem but having used it it's overstated. MacOS is shifty to use and makes the simplest tasks unbearable. MacBooks also require way too many dongles to plug in simple devices. iOS only knows how to function in the presence of another apple device. Remove that and it's useless and limited. Basic things I do on my S22 ultra I've tried on an iPhone and I'm like how is this not available? Or ehy is this buried deep in the settings? Sorry to say but it's not the greatest thing ever like many people say.
I've used both. I'm not an Apple fan. iPhones are clunky and boring, without innovation. The s22 Ultra has the biggest, brightest, best display. iPhones have that inexcusable notch. Why? The Apple ecosystem is annoying and expensive. For example, UA-cam Premium is significantly more expensive on my iPhone, because Apple is a rip off. I like to customize my phone, making and applying widgets and icons, which is not possible on an iPhone(without rooting). Repairing a Samsung product is easier and less expensive, than an iPhone. It's also nice to know that my s22 Ultra is not made by slave labor in China. Although iPhones maintain their value, Samsung is very generous when doing a trade. I received $800 trade-in towards my s22 Ultra, a 5% discount and free memory upgrade(from 128GB to 256GB). So it cost me less than $400. Not bad, for a phone that retails at $1,300 with those features.
I have the S22 Ultra, but if I bought the iPhone 14 Pro Max I don't have any use for it on my Windows PC. It would be difficult to transfer files between iPhone and Windows. Plus I do not own any Apple computers.
Had both, currently using the IPhone 14 Pro. I would hands-down grab my S22 ultra back in a heartbeat. Only reason I switched is because of our families business. Everything runs on apple
I picked the iPhone 14 Pro Max due to the fact that my mom has an iPhone 12 Pro Max & I really enjoy sending her iMessages & really enjoy knowing that they got delivered to her with out a problem! 😅😅😅😅😅!
It seems that the Samsung has a better wat of showing the darker parts in images. Probably a thing you can manage in te post production with your iPhone, but it's nice if it's good right away. Also the Samsung looks a bit warmer (more yellowish). For the rest they both look very good. The camera is really a personal preference, and it's not that one is outstandingly better then the other. The mic on the iPhone sounds better, more full. Although I like (and have used) Android, the iPhone attracts me more. One of the reasons is the round corners, as what you already mentioned in your review is that they (Samsung) press a bit in your hand with the sharp corners.
But anyone who gets a phone and wants it to last will get a gorilla case. Without a case, one drop and it's all over. The very first thing I get on any phone, before I even use it, is a protective case and screen protector. So, the edges mean nothing, unless you don't mind dropping your phone just once, and destroying it.
Thank you for the video. Made the jump from S21 to Ultra. Was conflicted b/w the fold and Ultra but went with Ultra. It's probably the best camera on a phone in my experience. My wife has an iPhone 14 but prefers Ultra's quality. Don't mean to insult anyone, but Apple products are more for the simple-minded... The best iPhone to date is the iPhone 4, and I made a switch from there. The iOS limitations alone are enough not to buy iPhones no matter what. I say this with my whole family owning iPhones.
@@ahn4694 Indeed and that notch , okay, i find the notch better then by the pro max 13 but it is still not okay. S22 ultra is so much better. Also the screen is better then the iPhone and i think also the hactics, if you typing, so great on that S22 Ultra.
Hi Aaron 😊 I’ve been disappointed with every Samsung phone I’ve ever bought over the years, bloatware, I never used the pen on my note! Who really needs a 100X zoom anyway, unless you’re a spy! I’m on 14 Pro Max as you know, give me an iPhone any day, consistent, reliable, great performance and great camera. 👌🏻❤️🇬🇧
Samsung has terrible battery optimization, based on my experience (used several Samsung phones for 3+ years). Even having 5000mAh battery doesn't fix this. Imagine losing 4 to 6% overnight on standby even if WiFi, Bluetooth and Data are off. Already did things like removed most of the Samsung bloatware etc.
Most people that can afford an S22U will have a laptop so do not have to have the extreme hassle of working out how to use DeX when out and about, in a train, car or cafe. No idea why you would want DeX if you can afford a laptop, even a cheap Chromebook would not set you back more than the stuff you need for DeX (display, keyboard, mouse, adapters, etc).
Been a Samsung only fan for 10 years, but now tired of samsungs (notes) failing me and getting to a crawling speed after 2.5 - 3 years of normal use. Operating system is supported only for 2 years of updates then nothing. I switched to iphone. Lets see how it goes. See you again in 3 years to update this comment.
@@tonymctonyps3 if you wanted to. It's the best value. Would you rather spend 500 twice and have a declining phone experience or spend 1k and still have the phone work smooth on year 4. Of course the 1k is better just you need to spend it upfront yes
I went from S22 ultra to iphone 14 pro max. It has been the best decision for me, i had the iphone x and 11 pro max, and i really missed IOS. The only thing i miss about my s22 ultra is the s pen and the fast charging, otherwise i dont really miss it. I love the dynamic island!! Especially when im in fitness, i can always see how much time i have left.
@@JoseMendoza-lh4iodon’t, wait for the iPhone 15 (which will finally have usb-c) because the iPhone 14 is basically a reskinned iPhone 13 (not much updates from last year) or get the s23U because that phone is miles ahead
@@astrefate2610 well, I went to the store to get an iPhone for one of my son's and the girl who was working there told me : we have an offer when you buy a new iPhone you get one free. And I said, give me my iPhone cause I never try the iPhone and I want to see how it is. So...
I think iphones are boring. I love using my S22 Ultra. You can customize the heck out if it, beautiful screen and pictures. I love using the S pen. You can do more than just notes. And I've taken awesome pictures of the moon ,planets, and stars at 100 × zoom. And the Raw app makes it more cleaned up and professional looking.
i just went from 13 pro max to s 22 Ultra.. you Android users have that for years ?!! OH MY GOD !! ITS INSANE ! first day i was in tears when i was exploring that phone :D.. insane
I miss the old full featured samsung flagships ...... note 9 back , the later models in my view which have been watered down by the samsung razor gang are just a disappointment imo.
Kind of same for me, daily using both iPhone and Android smartphone: - If my day is about shooting a lot of videos and i don’t want to worry about battery life, i will go to iPhone - if my day is about being Productive with a lot of texting, writing, multitasking, pleasure and fun, eye catching Photos and Zoom, it’s all about Samsung or powerful Android smartphone in general. Plus, connection is better with my Windows Pc.
I was an apple user for over 10, now I'm enjoying the andriod ecosystem. I feel apple is a world of it's own, but android is like having both reality and the metaverse. Going to be hard to switch back. It's a personal choice
You nailed it with frequent contacts. Unfortunately over 95% of my contacts use iPhone, so now I'm limited to only the devices Apple offers. They aren't bad devices but just wish I had more freedom of choice.
Iam not leaving samsung for Apple never Apple dont give u nothing new like samsung every year is the same Recycle phone u buying for Apple people opening your eyes Apple cant tricks me
I am a hardcore iPhone user for over 13 years. Trying S22Ultra and Galaxy watch for two weeks now. Unfortunately it's sooo different I can't do it. Im returning both today and getting the iPhone 14pro max. It's so difficult to go from iPhone your whole life to Android. I think my two biggest issues were messaging (entire friend group is iOS) just can't get it to work properly. And second, was airdrop. Sorry Android, I tried, I really did. But I just can't do it.
I have the S22 ultra 512 and I have the 13 pro max 512. The S22 gets laggy. I never experience that on the iPhone. Battery life on my iPhones way better. Video quality on the iPhones better. S22 camera is ok but has to much fillers. Sometimes looks fake vs Apple I like how I can download what I want on android but the quality isn’t up there just yet. Apple to me is the best. Never lags, battery life is the best.
I’ll never buy another Samsung product hardware or services ever in my life not gonna happen after horrible life experiences with this brand I will list just two of the experiences here helping my grandfather purchase a TV from Leon’s here in Canada Ontario we got home and the screen had backlight bleeding issues color issues so we took it back to Leon’s. They gave us another replace on TV. It had the same problem. It turns out that if we would’ve picked a non-Samsung TV the return policy would’ve just given us another one again but because it was the Samsung TV there return policy was only two out of the box and if both of them are broken, we can’t return them the last one even for a refund we just have to keep the broken TV so his entire side of the family will never buy a Samsung product again and after my dad having the Samsung galaxy note 7, that literally blew up and caught fire he was given a Samsung S7, which then melted and caught fire, which was the last straw for him which made him move over to iPhone X in 2017. He’s literally had the same iPhone on the same battery since day one. I literally have a story just like this with each and every single one of my family members and close family friends not to mention my heart sinking Samsung story
You dont a make any sense here man,we've had iphones and macboons blown up,we've had iphones break down straight from the box and oh we still have people using their galaxy S8s released in 2016 still working so what are you talking about. Or a typical Samsung hater.
@@pave_waywiz8869 yes but personally me and my family have never had any Apple products blow up so after that what I said does make sense because it’s factual statement that our family had these problems like what’s your deal
@@fredbureau-russell7718 yh been using Samsung for 10yrs now ams have never experience what you're also talking about,currently using s22ultra,sold my XMax because it was the most boring phone ever and i wil never look back even if apple releaeses iphone 100 pro.
I have used both Samsung and iPhone. For me the iphone does win. Samsung has many cool features and quirks but apple just keeps it simpler more refined and just provides an overall better experience. I went for the 14 plus this year but between the 2 in this video if I was in the top end market it would have to be the 14 pro max. Also iPhone batteries are much better than Samsung. I had an s20 which got 4 hours sot at very best I then moved to an iPhone 13 which got 8 hours sot. 14 plus is just silly it’s like 12-14 hours. The s20 was also set to 60hz
Very interesting that the iPhone 14 Pro Max takes photos that are so darkened. I'd have to give the S22 Ultra the 'prize' for better-looking photos just for this reason. I have a powder blue iPhone 14 Plus and I do not have darkened photos. Pics and vids look fantastic with the 14 Plus. Video image stabilization is slightly better with the 14 Pro Max versus the S22 Ultra. I really think that the S23 Ultra will give Apple a run for their money when it is released. Time will tell.
The s22 already gave/is iphone a run for its money. Samsung has been giving Apple a run for its money starting with the Note and S series. And now there is a Fold and Flip series to go along with it. The s23 is gonna surpass the 14 in my opinion. When it comes down to Samsung vs Apple, it's about preference.
@@robhughes8516 this video literally proves it. The fact that this video even exists proves that Samsung is giving Apple a run for its money. And the fact that Apple users switch to Samsung all bc of the Note or S or Fold series proves it also. It's time to face reality. At this point, it's all about preference when it comes to Apple or Samsung bc they literally rival each other. It's 50/50. Like think of it like Samsung has the S pen, while Apple has Siri.
The only thing I like about apple is the watch. I've tried the phones/ tablets and the lack of multi-tasking is a deal breaker. I just bought the watch and use it with my work iphone for all the challenges
You can't really notice the small pin whole on the Pixel 7 pro or Samsung, but on the iPhone 14 pro the pill shape whole is just too big. It's clearly worse than the notch on the 13 pro max, especially in full screen mode. I'm holding out for the 15.
I upgraded from my iPhone X to an s22 ultra and honestly I regret it. The camera is not to my liking at all and they made turning off HDR impossible to find. I managed to find it once and turn it off but I can't find it again. The main camera has so much extra sharpening and the HDR is awful. Once the camera switches to the other lenses though it's fine. Another example of higher megapixels not necessarily being a better photo. I thought I would use the pen more which was the biggest reason for me to get it, but since I hate using the camera the pen stays in the phone. The shutter speed on the phone is also terrible, I very often get blurry photos just using the buttons on the phone but the size and weight make me shake just a bit too much. I'm sure other people will get more out of this phone than me but I'm a big photographer type user and if my phone gives me any resistance Taking photos it's useless to me. I like the colors on the s22 more than the iPhone though so that's a real shame I hate the camera experience but it's not that hard to shift colors on iPhone or an app.
That means you’re not tech savvy or willing to look through your phone; photography may as well be a side thing if you’re not going all the way to get the most out of the phone you have
Sounds more like a you problem. Average Iphone users are known to be lazy and struggle with navigating tech stuffs. 🙃😄 Photography isn't just pulling camera out of the box and taking perfect shots, it doesn't work that way. It's also about knowing how to set things up right. 😄 Iphone 12pro and S22 Ultra user here.
Here is my experience with the iPhone 14 Pro Max compared to Samsung. iPhone has worse audio, laggy screen, ridiculous Lightning cable, unable to operate with one hand, worse apps, Carplay is worse than Android Auto, etc. 10 years ago Apple may have been better, but they have been left in the dust.
Come on...people just keep complaining about the lightning port and you know Iphone still.use their lightning port and yet you still buy it eventhough you know about it🙄
I moved from 14 pro max to s22 ultra simply to get the following normal things such as but limited to: 1 - Back ( It's so hard to go back in iOS ) 2 - ultimate call history ( I had only 100 call history in my iphone ) 3 - multi tasking ( in ios you can't open email while writing notes ) 4- I can't copy and paste phone number and usually it's deleted automatically 5- more bugs in iOS 16 6- Iphone 14 pro max battery is so bad 7- I paid less a I got S pen bigger screen 8- Why I phone hasn't 100 Zoom it's really nice to read far sign boards 9- Why I phone not give me option to check the duplicated photos and contacts
s22 ULTRA is like space rocket compared to a toy for girls (iphone) .. i just went from 13 pro max to s 22 Ultra and i still can´t believe how far ahead Android is... and Ultra like King of phones is just insane beast... first day i was in tears when i was exploring it :D
@@zollotech Haha. True. But release between S23 and 14 Pro Max will be ~4-5 months instead of ~7-8 months. So the most fair flagship test would be those two in the future. Nice video though.
New glitch in UA-cam app for Apple TV 4K. Hit the back-button twice in UA-cam and see Apple TV crash (but first the UA-cam app asks if you're sure if you wanna do it).
My last iphone was iphone 5 and then never looked back , I’ve been all these years Samsung user and i switched to iphone 14 pro max that too wasn’t my choice , got family deal and now i can not wait to go back to samsung when S23 comes out , seriously the amount of things you can do with your android is amazing . To me iphone is quite boring and dull phone.
Can you clarify the part about the microphone recording quality? Because I wasn't sure which microphone was which and I don't mean as comparison, I mean whether what you were saying about comparing the mic was using the mic-or if that was coming up later??
I wonder if PWM is an issue on the 14/14 Plus? Seems to be less an issue on the 14 Pro/Pro Max than the S22 Ultra. I happen to be one of those who are sensitive to PWM. Thanks for the video, Aaron.
I think in the end the ecosystem is the main deciding factor. What other devices do you have and what is your friends and family using. I made the switch to Apple devices in 2014 and I don’t see myself going back because it would be inconvenient. That is the reason I rarely even watch these comparison videos as it doesn’t matter to me what Samsung or any other manufacturer does. The question is always if it is worth upgrading to the next iPhone 🤷🏻♂️
Unfortunately, in the U.S. ios is dominant simply because of imessage and FaceTime. I have been to a few countries that primarily use whatsapp, signal etc, to communicate so the device of choice is much less of an issue with iphones simply being a status symbol to many, especially teens. But like you said, if you have invested in multiple Apple products, it only makes sense to grab an iPhone. I am more of an Android/Windows guy, so S22/Note for me. I do have a cellular iPad Mini for imessage/FaceTime though.
Only in Usa. We don’t care what people own in Europe. In my family people have a A41, a S22, a Z Fold 3. I own both 13 Pro and Poco F4. We just use WhatsApp everyday.
@M. B. I didn't know you could have an android phone and use a cellular iPad. Can you use the same number? I keep an iPhone and Android phone but prefer Samsung.
@@wandafull12 no you can’t. I have iMessage activated on my cellular iPad through my Apple ID and can only iMessage people with other iPhones. Since the form factor is compact and doesn’t require wifi, I don’t mind taking it everywhere with me. I have a 13 pro max as well for the times that I do want to go all Apple, but I like the Android phone/iPad mini combo more. Sorry for not clarifying.
I choose the OnePlus 10 Pro. 🤙🏻FYI there are other phone makers out there besides Apple and Samsung. EG...Google, One Plus and Motorola. That being said, between these two I ALWAYS stay with Android. 💪🏻
I choose apple every time. I have 14 pro max now and just don’t like android OS, Used it before and it’s just not for me. Also apple phones last way longer than all other competitor phones. All iPhones get updates at same time. On android they get pushed out it bits and bats at different times. Not a fan of that way. But both phones are nice phones just personal preference
I love the Samsung DeX mode. One day i forgotten to bring my laptop to office. The DeX mode save my day at the office.. plug in the usb-c hub, mouse, monitor and power in... I can continue my work with great multitasking. Would like to suggest to include the dex mode in future review.
I didn’t think he said that. In fact, his everyday phone is the 14 Pro Max. He did say, in conclusion, either phone is great and it is personal preference, as to what is better.
Really nice review! I've been a samsung user for quite a few years now and I was thinking to change for the iPhone 14 pro max but I'm just not ready to give up the costumization.
The S22 pics are much brighter which i like better than the 14 pro max. The forward facing, the 14 pro max wins. As for the sound, I would give that to the S22. The 14 pro max tends to take on darker photos. My 13 pro max is the same way, darker pics. I'm still pro Apple.
Yes, Samsung over saturates and has much brighter highlights, where iPhone goes for natural look with details still in shadows if you want to edit it in post. Subjective but iphone were more pleasing to my eye,, and S22U better for social media straight away.
In europe these comparisons kinda make no sense. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is like 350€ to 500€ more expensive than the s22 Ultra. In europe the s22 Ultra is competing with the iPhone 14 Plus.
Yeah.. 900 $ in USA 1500€ Europe :D and nobody use imesagge or this kind of stuff in EU... so having an iphone here is more about flexing that you can pay 40€ in Tmobile every month :D
Which do you choose and why? Thanks for watching, it is always appreciated.
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
Iphone 14 pro max... because i have it..and its awesome..
It would be a really tough choice. I love both phones and they both have their strengths and weaknesses. I'm on an iPhone 11 Pro right now (best iPhone ever made in my opinion). When it comes to the camera I'd choose the 14 Pro Max for it's more true-to-life colour science and video quality. If I had to choose a phone for productivity and versatility I'd have to choose the S22 Ultra because Android is just a smarter OS, perfect for tech enthusiasts that want to tailor their device's functionality very deeply.
Excellent video, Aaron. If I were a heavy photo/vid user, I'd have to go with the S22 Ultra. I'm not a fan of the way the iPhone 14 Pro Max takes such 'darkened' photos. I have a 14 Plus and my pics do not look darkened at all. Same with my videos.
But since I'm *not* a heavy photo/vid user, my preference would be the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It's been my experience that nothing beats the Apple Ecosystem due to its ease of use and convenience.
2 months earlier i changed my xiaomi to an iphone(older modells).I think two thing is far better in an android:the first is the play store.Lots of app and far more free apps.The second is far easier copying music and videos to an android device from a windows pc
I was an android user for over 10 years, now I'm absolutely enjoying the apple ecosystem. Both phones are fantastic and now it's more of a personal choice.
I feel like IOS just makes your life easier. I find my self constantly having to fine tune my android experience. Why do i need to mess with the speech rate of the youtube search results? I mean who asked for that, seriously???
Literally this for me as well. Android user since the “hey-day” of HTC devices and then moved on to Galaxy Notes & Pixels. Last year I crossed over to the dark side and got my first Apple device. The 13 Pro Max. And now after experiencing the Apple ecosystem for the past year….. Yeah it’s going to be hard to give this up.
@@fauxchung3189 Yes, same as my experience.
As a long time Apple user, I’ve thought several times about switching to Android. Apple taking a decade to add what Android has drives me nuts sometimes.
Thats the same reason I went to Iphone. IOS is such a good system and also the ecosystem with Airpods, Apple Watch etc is really handy.
I used an iPhone XS Max and an 11 Pro Max and I loved them, but then I switched to the Note20 Ultra and since then I love Samsung. My current phone is the S22 Ultra and I couldn't return to Apple because the heavy customization on Samsung and above all, the S Pen, which has been pretty useful for my job.
Oh you'll be back when the jitters and lag sets in. It's inevitable with Samsung
@@xShinobiXx have had s9 since release no lags or stutters at all. You don't know what you are talking about.

@@xShinobiXx first 4-5 months my phone had a little lags here and there, but after that it got fixed and now it's seemless. I didn't get used to it, I notice when it lags every tike and now I don't even remember the last time my phone lagged.
@@xShinobiXx and every phone has lags from the start. It's the matter of time when it's fixed.
I'm in love with the Samsung ecosystem: S22+, Tabs S7+, Galaxy Watch 4, Buds pro and Samsung TV. Love the synced notifications, gallery, calls and clipboard the automatic switch features
Samsung has a great ecosystem too,from tv to tablet or windows pc but reviewers don't really talk about it.
@@Joker-yu5kp and fridge has a tablet
whats your opinion about the s22 plus? is a good phone?
@@Joker-yu5kp probably because apple does it better. No one talks about the second best
I’ve owned both and really enjoy both. That camera on the 22 ultra is very impressive……
Why do you own both? 🤣🤣🤣
@@ND-OPS His life , his choice...What bothers you 🤣🤣🤣
@@ND-OPS owned* both. Got rid of S22 for iPhone a couple months ago
@MrKhan the s22 ultra is a great phone.
One of the big reasons I went back to Apple is the customer service. Both times I’ve had an issue requiring service with Samsung, they have told me they would send a replacement device. That device never came. Both times I called, I was told they don’t have any in stock and could send me a different device, which I did not want. They then tell me they would send the full cost of the phone back to me. That’s great, but I didn’t want the money back, I wanted the same phone I had in working order.
Apple has never done that to me; if a replacement was warranted, I got it, no questions asked.
Not to mention, the 14 pro max is a wonderful device. Sure, it does lack some features the Samsung has, but it also possesses some of the same features, and in many cases, the iPhone executed them in a much better fashion.
TLDR: you’ll be very happy with either phone; they’re both powerhouses. The iPhone has s better battery. If you want a stress free customer service/warranty experience, go with the iPhone.
@@Dr.DebangaBhushan_1.1-1.1 im just asking brotha, youre the one that looks bother on my question 🤣🤣🤣
Samsung battery life is just always disappointing. At first it is fine, same like all the other battery testing videos, but as you proceed to install more apps and it won't last more than 5 hours of SoT. That's the main reason I move to iPhone, it can easily bring me through a whole day without charging and most importantly it won't drain without reason when I am sleeping.
Yes same thought here,eventhough the samsung has 5000mah battery but yet it still drains like there is no tomorrow
Jupp, my S8 was good with its 3000mah but my S22U and my friends S21U both do worse, I get through a whole day, but that's with light use
I agree I had Samsung S8 before and it last me for almost two days. After S8. S & Note battery started to go down hill
So agree 👍
That’s why I switched back to my iPhone from my Samsung
Battery is horrible and Samsungs don’t even support glass screen protectors
I've been completely in the Apple eco-system for about 4 years now. Currently using an iPhone 13 Pro. I miss my Note though! I'm thinking about switching to the S23 Ultra a couple months after it comes out to see how it holds up. I do like iOS but I used the s-pen for a number of things and the Ultra camera set-up is more to my liking. I have several months to ponder it so that's nice. I enjoyed the vid Aarron, as always. Clear and concise!
I own an S22 Ultra and the S Pen has been very, very useful for my job. Also Samsung has improved a lot in terms of software, the days if lag are gone for good. And you can buy the S Pen from a Galaxy Tab and it improves a lot the experience.
I left Android 2 years ago, just remember Samsung doesn’t often fix software issues and forget about Android software being updated when android releases new build numbers which means apps will be buggy since are automatically update to the new build numbers. While I completely admit you can customize more on android but everything apple does that Android does it does waaaaay better. If video is important then apple smokes android still.
@@biggooseadventures i am of photo guy and s22 ultra smokes the shit out of apple. even selfie cam is so much clearer and crispier
@@Tech69YT it’s definitely takes more contrasting pictures that seem instagram ready but definitely not true color like iPhone. iPhone definitely has the better video quality.
Everything has that jaundiced yellow tinge on the iphone. The galaxy has more realistic & true colours.
My 14 Pro Max was just delivered today and I’ve spent the last several hours setting it up.
I don’t mind the lesser configurability. When I was still on Android I used to spend many hours downloading UIs and widgets, arranging icons, what have you. Until I realized I spend 80% of my time in an app and hardly ever see the Home Screen.
That's interesting. Everyone's different. The way I have my widgets set up, I look at Reddit, Messages, Calendar, etc... all on my homescreen. I even respond to emails and messages within my notification shade. Honestly, my personal deal breaker for iOS is the horrendous notifications system. At the risk of being a little hyperbolic, Android 2.1 had better notifications.
@@avenuePad *"Everyone’s different"*
True, that.
*"I look at Reddit, Messages, Calendar"*
I have reddit, email, calendar, clock, weather and photos widgets on my home screen. For me, personally (emphasis on "personally") all the extra configurability - launchers, icons, themes, etc. - was a major distraction. I’d spend hours trying out launchers, retheming, rearranging, reorging, only a week later to read some review of some new bestest ever launcher and start all over again.
A year or so of that later I realized the endless search for the perfect look-and-feel was not only a tremendous time sink, it just didn’t make any difference in productivity terms. I get it - for many people that extra configurability is important. For me, not so much.
I’ve not much experience with Android notifications, so I can’t speak to that. But Android lacks iMessage and the Apple ecosystem, both of which _are_ important to me.
@@nathanaelculver5308 Oh, I 100% agree that homescreen configuration can be a massive time-sink. But that's not just an Android thing. iOS users post all the time about their excruciatingly tedious homescreen customizations where they have to go through 10 steps just to configure one icon. Android customization is a lot easier and less time consuming; however, it's still a rabbit hole if you get caught up in it.
I have experience with both iOS and Android notifications. It's not a controversial statement to say that iOS notifications are a hot mess. I'd argue that you don't even have to have Android to compare them with to just realize that the iOS notification system is horrible. Even the most ardent Apple fan will concede that notifications are better on Android.
@@avenuePad *iOS users post all the time about their excruciatingly tedious homescreen customizations*
Lack of customizability compared to Android is a conscious Apple design decision. Maybe those Apple users who spend so much effort trying to work around the restrictions would be happier with a Pixel. For me, consistency of user experience and productivity are more important than the ability to customize icons.
*the iOS notification system is horrible*
_Shrug_ I’ll take your word for it. Except Calendar, Mail and a couple of messaging apps, I disable everything. I prefer a quiet phone, so the only notification feature I need is the ability to disable notifications.
@@avenuePad exactly, and add multi tasking and especially split screen..
If you want an iPhone then nothing beats the 14 Pro Max. But if you want Android I feel the S22 Ultra has still been the best throughout the whole year and considering it released early 2022 that's pretty impressive. The S23U should take things up a couple more levels too, not a massive upgrade from the rumours but probably a solid one.
If iOS had the same level of customisation as android then id absolutely consider using it as my daily but let's be realistic that's never gonna happen, not for a long time at least anyway.
Good video man 👍
But sd8gen2 of samsung with better architecture than regular sd8gen2 and A16 more efficiency and better performance better camera i think iphone 14 pm will not compete with s23u and vivo x90 pro plus xiaomi 13pro
Actually the level of customization on android is way too much for most people. Way too many options, way to menu menus to remember and most customizations will never be used by the general buyer. I have the S22 Ultra and Fold 4. Honestly, I would never play with the amount of customizations available nor choose any of them over my iPhone 14 Pro Max. But that is preference. I am glad iOS doe snot have this level of customization. iOS has just enough and that is all that is really needed.
@@enterprisecreations1492 @Enterprisecreations but what you said there is totally down to your opinion of course, which you're free too obviously! Getting used to things comes with time, a lot of people who use ios pick up an android and don't have a clue how to use it, simple because they aren't used to it. It can come across as overpowering and a lot to take in because compared to ios... It kind of is. An android phone can definitely be simple to use if the person using it wants it to be, and if they wanna tweak and adjust things to no end, they can do that too. It's all down to choice is it not? I know plenty people who use android and don't care for the stuff that I do with my device, they just use in the simplest form.
Do you not think it would be nice for the customisation to be there IF the person wants it? Instead of just assuming nobody does and not offering it?
@@Alexander0189 I went from Android to Apple about four years ago. My experience was similar to @Enterprisecreations: I understand people who love all the customizability; for myself personally, I found it a time sink. I’d spend endless hours configuring things that just had no effect on productivity. As a toy, all the configuration was fun to play with; as a tool, it contributed nothing.
Just my experience, of course.
@@nathanaelculver5308 that's absolutely fair enough. This is very much down to a personal thing. I don't see my phone as a tool... personally. Im not someone who views my phone as something that "gets stuff done".

So ye each to their own really!
I just jumped from S22 Ultra to 14 Pro Max and I just miss some features like the S pen and customisation. And like you said right now android feels more stable than IOS. But I love to be back to flat screen and at least 2 extra hours of battery life

For the battery, I just wanted to add that it also greatly depends on your screen settings with the s22 Ultra. If you have the WQHD+ option turned on, you will lose a great chunk of your battery within the first 2 hours, depending on what you're doing.

Samsung makes me feel excited, iPhone makes me feel at ease. After using the Galaxy S3, S8+ and the ZFlip 1… I got lazy. The so so battery life, constantly keeping my phone on Power Saving to make it through a day, the constant tweaking in settings, and waiting months just for an Android update to trickle down to my device, I got frustrated after my ZFlip starting giving me only 2 hours of screen on time. I have the 14 Pro Max now. Is it exciting? Well yeah for the first week or so but overall no. Is it head turning like my ZFlip? No because everyone else has an iPhone. But is it reliable? Yes, its buttery smooth and I have awkward moments like worrying about my battery and checking the battery level only to realise “Oh wow so this is what the buzz about iPhone battery life are about”.
Even Apple’s ios16 battery drain issue was quickly fixed and 16.2 was quickly rolled out. I’m a Postgraduate student and work 22 hours a week, I just need a phone that works and lasts me through at least half a day without having to make compromises on functionality
I have an iPhone 14 Pro but I must admit I miss the S Pen of my Note 10+ that I had a few years ago. I'm very happy to continue with an Apple device because Face ID suits me better than fingerprint technology but I would love it if either Apple had an S Pen equivalent (this will never happen) or if Samsung used an equally secure version of Face ID.
I always enjoy your videos Aaron. 🥰
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 (pictured) that I use in tandem with my iPhone 14 Plus. (Yes, I bought the Plus simply because I don't care about the 'Dynamic Island' or the 'Always on Display' or the supposedly superior camera module(s). It's also been my experience that the 60 Hz refresh rate of the 14 Plus makes its battery life superior to just about anything I've ever owned.)
I find that switching between these 2 devices keeps me from getting bored with one of the OSes being used all the time.
@@stevennovakovich2525 the iPhone 14 plus is a great phone, great camera, battery, display. It got way too much hate
I’ve used Samsung phones for most of my life until the summer of 2019. That year I began to add to my collection of Apple devices so I decided it was time to switch to iPhone. The added bonus that I wasn’t counting on was how clean the iPhone was, free of unwanted software that you’re unable or afraid to get rid of, the constant pop up’s and other weird things that I just grown used to. This all disappeared when I got an iPhone, granted nothing is perfect but if for some reason I ever went back to Android it would have to be the Pixel. I’ve grown to appreciate pure unadulterated software in both my phones and other computers
Of course. Nothing beats the clean stock os without all the bs. I guarantee you didn't even use 70% of the Samsung features. It's just not meaningful stuff
@@xShinobiXx are you an android hater? Every person has their own preferences and yet again you don't know what you are talking about. I, for instance, use most of the Android features on my phone.
@@boomheadshot231 no. Using a pixel 7 pro now. And it's way better than other androids despite having less hardware top of the line components. Performance and fluidity is always my top priority. So remove features and make the phone super fluid is better than less fluid but packed with features. So I just don't agree that Samsung has that balance. Way too many useless stuff. Pixel is nice tho
@@xShinobiXx what was your last samsung phone?
@@boomheadshot231 first was s4. Then s8. The s8 everyone said the same thing as today. It's got no lag. Also the s9. Same thing. The fanboys said no lag. It has a buttload of lag and I couldn't even use it. Just returned it. Now I'm on the pixel to give android another shot. Pleasantly surprised the pixel is actually decent as fluidity. So far this is good
After getting my first iPhone ever 12 PRO MAX I don't think I can ever go back to an Android device. I like the updates for security and the iOS updates Apple provides. I feel Google and Samsung are a lot slower at getting security and operating system updates are way to slow. Thanks for providing all the content and information that you do Aaron.
True, iOS is far superior OS. Just the updates you can really feel the difference whenever Apple provides it.
In the wise words of Flossy Carter, rock out both. I personally run an S21 Ultra and an iPhone 13 mini. Both are great in their own respective rights.

For me it boils down to investment in the overall ecosystem. My investment is in Apple's iOS, so therein lies my preference. I see no point in second guessing my decisions, since I've been making them for several decades now, and second guessing just wastes the relatively little time I have remaining. On the other hand, we have two Windows PCs, one a custom desktop build, and the other being a manufacturer's laptop. I've long since moved on from touting or hyping one type over the other. This is due largely to :::clearing throat::: ecosystem investment. I might've already mentioned that.
I have a Galaxy S22+ and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Both are good phones but it's all about Android or iOS. I like both but prefer Android
Your camera comparison was surprising. To my eyes the Samsung pics all seemed to have more realistic color and shading. The one exception was the night vision.
I have the S22 ultra, it depence from photo to photo, not all pictures having the right color ;). Not by the samsung, not by the iPhone, not 1 phone is 100% correct. S23 Ultra gonna have a big upgrade for night vision, finally , we gonna see it within 3 weeks. I gonna buy the S23 Ultra. Android is also freedom.
Even though s22 ultra is older it still can keep up...
I have tried iphone 13 pro max and 14 pro max but i always go back to samsung. Honestly apple is missing so many features especially multitasking, customization etc...On iphone the back button only works while swiping on the left side or the corner of the screen but on android you can swipe from the left of right,the list of downside for me about an iphone is so long.IOS is a little better and more optimized on and the battery life is incredible,that's the main advantage of an iphone in my opinion but for the rest i will take samsung any day
Honestly, both these phones are so good and so similar that it’s really just a matter of your preferred OS
Os is everything. The apple device actually will last making it a high quality product. S22 ultra users will get lag in 2 years

@@xShinobiXx They're only few on them. I'm an iPhone user but I switched to s22 Ultra because ios is just overrated and shit.
@@knight6731 ya I agree if you’re ok with the slightly reduce stability, less refined apps and webpages. A camera that can’t record past 10 mins in 4K 60fps. Less optimized games. And the slightly less smooth animations and stuff. Of course that’s the trade off and ya you’ll gain a bunch of performance perks iOS doesn’t do to maintain high speeds
I have both, but I love S22 Ultra more
Why you have both lmao
Why? I'm torn between the two.
The HDR brightness issue in Netflix on my S22 Ultra is extremely annoying. Switching to S23 Ultra cause the S22 had way too many issues for my liking. Never going over to iPhone though, I can't stand iOS which I use at work.
I can't stand iOS either. It seems so limiting and I struggle to do simple customizations.
Waited for the notes to finally catch up in performance and battery life because I wanted an s pen. Was hoping the 23 was the one but I got a 14 pm anyways. I’ll be hoping the ultra 25 is the one after I upgrade this one
iPhone for me mate, all the way!
Love the ecosystem, my entire family is on board and I couldn’t ask for more.

Hi Aaron Samsung has increased the quality of its phones. One thing i like about Samsung phones is all buttons are placed on right hand side of phone like Switch Off & Reset & Silent ones. The picture quality of Samsung S22 was much better. Although iPhone has produced great pics in till IOS 15 but this year pictures are over compressed in IOS 16 which is disappointing. Moreover Android 13 has some great features. Samsung has slight edge in terms of picture quality moreover video can paused and resumed in android but not in iOS. In comparison between Samsung S22 & IPhone Pro Max both are good quality phones . Thank you for your dedicated & lovely comparison video.
Got my 14 pro max yesterday. What keeps me with the iPhone is how easy it was to transfer everything from my last phone, no fuss at all and within half an hour it was completely set up.
android is easier with Google one. Got 14 pro max also but google supremacy it is.
@@thirdtres every android phone I ever had would get to about the 18 month mark and things would just stop working, most memorable example was the gps when I desperately needed navigation. Never again.
@@ContactFault Yes, android memory management is atrocious and eventually the whole thing slows to a crawl. Apple's iPhone overtime with new OS updates actually makes the phone faster!

I know people love Apple ecosystem but having used it it's overstated. MacOS is shifty to use and makes the simplest tasks unbearable. MacBooks also require way too many dongles to plug in simple devices. iOS only knows how to function in the presence of another apple device. Remove that and it's useless and limited. Basic things I do on my S22 ultra I've tried on an iPhone and I'm like how is this not available? Or ehy is this buried deep in the settings? Sorry to say but it's not the greatest thing ever like many people say.
Wow. Both cameras are so comparable. I really think it’s just down to personal preference now
I've used both. I'm not an Apple fan. iPhones are clunky and boring, without innovation. The s22 Ultra has the biggest, brightest, best display. iPhones have that inexcusable notch. Why? The Apple ecosystem is annoying and expensive. For example, UA-cam Premium is significantly more expensive on my iPhone, because Apple is a rip off. I like to customize my phone, making and applying widgets and icons, which is not possible on an iPhone(without rooting). Repairing a Samsung product is easier and less expensive, than an iPhone. It's also nice to know that my s22 Ultra is not made by slave labor in China. Although iPhones maintain their value, Samsung is very generous when doing a trade. I received $800 trade-in towards my s22 Ultra, a 5% discount and free memory upgrade(from 128GB to 256GB). So it cost me less than $400. Not bad, for a phone that retails at $1,300 with those features.
I have the S22 Ultra, but if I bought the iPhone 14 Pro Max I don't have any use for it on my Windows PC. It would be difficult to transfer files between iPhone and Windows. Plus I do not own any Apple computers.
I have a s21 ultra, had it for 2 years and battery life is still real good so not sure what people are complaining about
Had both, currently using the IPhone 14 Pro. I would hands-down grab my S22 ultra back in a heartbeat. Only reason I switched is because of our families business. Everything runs on apple
I picked the iPhone 14 Pro Max due to the fact that my mom has an iPhone 12 Pro Max & I really enjoy sending her iMessages & really enjoy knowing that they got delivered to her with out a problem! 😅😅😅😅😅!
It seems that the Samsung has a better wat of showing the darker parts in images. Probably a thing you can manage in te post production with your iPhone, but it's nice if it's good right away. Also the Samsung looks a bit warmer (more yellowish). For the rest they both look very good. The camera is really a personal preference, and it's not that one is outstandingly better then the other.
The mic on the iPhone sounds better, more full.
Although I like (and have used) Android, the iPhone attracts me more. One of the reasons is the round corners, as what you already mentioned in your review is that they (Samsung) press a bit in your hand with the sharp corners.
But anyone who gets a phone and wants it to last will get a gorilla case. Without a case, one drop and it's all over. The very first thing I get on any phone, before I even use it, is a protective case and screen protector. So, the edges mean nothing, unless you don't mind dropping your phone just once, and destroying it.

Thank you for the video. Made the jump from S21 to Ultra. Was conflicted b/w the fold and Ultra but went with Ultra. It's probably the best camera on a phone in my experience. My wife has an iPhone 14 but prefers Ultra's quality.
Don't mean to insult anyone, but Apple products are more for the simple-minded... The best iPhone to date is the iPhone 4, and I made a switch from there. The iOS limitations alone are enough not to buy iPhones no matter what. I say this with my whole family owning iPhones.
I love my IPhone 13 Pro but I love the looks of the S22 Ultra. It all in what OS that you want or like.
i agree, i have the 14PM but i think the S22 looks way nicer.
@@ahn4694 Indeed and that notch , okay, i find the notch better then by the pro max 13 but it is still not okay. S22 ultra is so much better. Also the screen is better then the iPhone and i think also the hactics, if you typing, so great on that S22 Ultra.
Hi Aaron 😊
I’ve been disappointed with every Samsung phone I’ve ever bought over the years, bloatware, I never used the pen on my note! Who really needs a 100X zoom anyway, unless you’re a spy! I’m on 14 Pro Max as you know, give me an iPhone any day, consistent, reliable, great performance and great camera. 👌🏻❤️🇬🇧
You are only saying WHO NEEDS 100X ZOOM just because iphone doesnt have...once it comes to iphone i'm sure you will celebrate
Samsung has terrible battery optimization, based on my experience (used several Samsung phones for 3+ years). Even having 5000mAh battery doesn't fix this. Imagine losing 4 to 6% overnight on standby even if WiFi, Bluetooth and Data are off. Already did things like removed most of the Samsung bloatware etc.
I have the 14 Pro Max and I love it. It all depends on which operating system you like.

@@mauricemotors8207Man I wanted deep purple but they were completely out 🥲 Gold had to do
you forgot to mention the dex feature for the S22 ultra, which will make a huge difference with people who choose productivity.
Most people that can afford an S22U will have a laptop so do not have to have the extreme hassle of working out how to use DeX when out and about, in a train, car or cafe. No idea why you would want DeX if you can afford a laptop, even a cheap Chromebook would not set you back more than the stuff you need for DeX (display, keyboard, mouse, adapters, etc).
@@andyH_England Why buy both. Have you tried Dex then and you found it to be an extreme hassle to use or is that just an assumption?
Been a Samsung only fan for 10 years, but now tired of samsungs (notes) failing me and getting to a crawling speed after 2.5 - 3 years of normal use.

Let's be honest. Samsung will always be steps ahead of Apple. Apple is falling behind big time
I’ll never buy another Samsung product hardware or services ever in my life not gonna happen after horrible life experiences with this brand I will list just two of the experiences here helping my grandfather purchase a TV from Leon’s here in Canada Ontario we got home and the screen had backlight bleeding issues color issues so we took it back to Leon’s. They gave us another replace on TV. It had the same problem. It turns out that if we would’ve picked a non-Samsung TV the return policy would’ve just given us another one again but because it was the Samsung TV there return policy was only two out of the box and if both of them are broken, we can’t return them the last one even for a refund we just have to keep the broken TV so his entire side of the family will never buy a Samsung product again and after my dad having the Samsung galaxy note 7, that literally blew up and caught fire he was given a Samsung S7, which then melted and caught fire, which was the last straw for him which made him move over to iPhone X in 2017. He’s literally had the same iPhone on the same battery since day one. I literally have a story just like this with each and every single one of my family members and close family friends not to mention my heart sinking Samsung story

I have used both Samsung and iPhone. For me the iphone does win. Samsung has many cool features and quirks but apple just keeps it simpler more refined and just provides an overall better experience. I went for the 14 plus this year but between the 2 in this video if I was in the top end market it would have to be the 14 pro max. Also iPhone batteries are much better than Samsung. I had an s20 which got 4 hours sot at very best I then moved to an iPhone 13 which got 8 hours sot. 14 plus is just silly it’s like 12-14 hours. The s20 was also set to 60hz
Very interesting that the iPhone 14 Pro Max takes photos that are so darkened. I'd have to give the S22 Ultra the 'prize' for better-looking photos just for this reason. I have a powder blue iPhone 14 Plus and I do not have darkened photos. Pics and vids look fantastic with the 14 Plus. Video image stabilization is slightly better with the 14 Pro Max versus the S22 Ultra. I really think that the S23 Ultra will give Apple a run for their money when it is released. Time will tell.
The s22 already gave/is iphone a run for its money. Samsung has been giving Apple a run for its money starting with the Note and S series. And now there is a Fold and Flip series to go along with it. The s23 is gonna surpass the 14 in my opinion. When it comes down to Samsung vs Apple, it's about preference.
@@JM44444apple has never been given a “run for its money” from anyone, especially Samsung.
@@robhughes8516 this video literally proves it. The fact that this video even exists proves that Samsung is giving Apple a run for its money.

At this point, it's all about preference when it comes to Apple or Samsung bc they literally rival each other. It's 50/50. Like think of it like Samsung has the S pen, while Apple has Siri.
Samsung is king let's not forget iPhone get some of their parts from Samsung.
The only thing I like about apple is the watch. I've tried the phones/ tablets and the lack of multi-tasking is a deal breaker. I just bought the watch and use it with my work iphone for all the challenges
You can't really notice the small pin whole on the Pixel 7 pro or Samsung, but on the iPhone 14 pro the pill shape whole is just too big. It's clearly worse than the notch on the 13 pro max, especially in full screen mode. I'm holding out for the 15.
I upgraded from my iPhone X to an s22 ultra and honestly I regret it. The camera is not to my liking at all and they made turning off HDR impossible to find. I managed to find it once and turn it off but I can't find it again. The main camera has so much extra sharpening and the HDR is awful. Once the camera switches to the other lenses though it's fine. Another example of higher megapixels not necessarily being a better photo.
I thought I would use the pen more which was the biggest reason for me to get it, but since I hate using the camera the pen stays in the phone. The shutter speed on the phone is also terrible, I very often get blurry photos just using the buttons on the phone but the size and weight make me shake just a bit too much.
I'm sure other people will get more out of this phone than me but I'm a big photographer type user and if my phone gives me any resistance Taking photos it's useless to me. I like the colors on the s22 more than the iPhone though so that's a real shame I hate the camera experience but it's not that hard to shift colors on iPhone or an app.
That means you’re not tech savvy or willing to look through your phone; photography may as well be a side thing if you’re not going all the way to get the most out of the phone you have
Sounds more like a you problem. Average Iphone users are known to be lazy and struggle with navigating tech stuffs. 🙃😄
Photography isn't just pulling camera out of the box and taking perfect shots, it doesn't work that way. It's also about knowing how to set things up right. 😄

Seems to be less an issue on the 14 Pro/Pro Max than the S22 Ultra.
I happen to be one of those who are sensitive to PWM.
Thanks for the video, Aaron.
I think in the end the ecosystem is the main deciding factor. What other devices do you have and what is your friends and family using. I made the switch to Apple devices in 2014 and I don’t see myself going back because it would be inconvenient. That is the reason I rarely even watch these comparison videos as it doesn’t matter to me what Samsung or any other manufacturer does. The question is always if it is worth upgrading to the next iPhone 🤷🏻♂️
Unfortunately, in the U.S. ios is dominant simply because of imessage and FaceTime. I have been to a few countries that primarily use whatsapp, signal etc, to communicate so the device of choice is much less of an issue with iphones simply being a status symbol to many, especially teens. But like you said, if you have invested in multiple Apple products, it only makes sense to grab an iPhone.
I am more of an Android/Windows guy, so S22/Note for me. I do have a cellular iPad Mini for imessage/FaceTime though.
Only in Usa. We don’t care what people own in Europe. In my family people have a A41, a S22, a Z Fold 3. I own both 13 Pro and Poco F4. We just use WhatsApp everyday.
@M. B. I didn't know you could have an android phone and use a cellular iPad. Can you use the same number? I keep an iPhone and Android phone but prefer Samsung.
@@wandafull12 no you can’t. I have iMessage activated on my cellular iPad through my Apple ID and can only iMessage people with other iPhones. Since the form factor is compact and doesn’t require wifi, I don’t mind taking it everywhere with me.
I have a 13 pro max as well for the times that I do want to go all Apple, but I like the Android phone/iPad mini combo more. Sorry for not clarifying.
@@m.b.557 Thanks. That would have been awesome. I flip flop between the two all the time. I drive my people crazy.
I choose the OnePlus 10 Pro. 🤙🏻FYI there are other phone makers out there besides Apple and Samsung. EG...Google, One Plus and Motorola. That being said, between these two I ALWAYS stay with Android. 💪🏻
Can you make a comparison video on green or red tint with the iPhone 14 pro against the iPhone 13 pro?
iPhone 14 Pro Max

I’m a iPhone guy but s22 ultra camera looks better
I choose apple every time. I have 14 pro max now and just don’t like android OS, Used it before and it’s just not for me. Also apple phones last way longer than all other competitor phones. All iPhones get updates at same time. On android they get pushed out it bits and bats at different times. Not a fan of that way. But both phones are nice phones just personal preference
I love the Samsung DeX mode. One day i forgotten to bring my laptop to office. The DeX mode save my day at the office.. plug in the usb-c hub, mouse, monitor and power in... I can continue my work with great multitasking.
Would like to suggest to include the dex mode in future review.
II purchase the 14 pro max today
Wow even Zollotech agrees the S22 Ultra is the better phone. At least he's honest.
I didn’t think he said that. In fact, his everyday phone is the 14 Pro Max. He did say, in conclusion, either phone is great and it is personal preference, as to what is better.
Why you ignore s22 ultra pen.. said nothing about it.
Where did you get the wallpaper?
I would probably go for a iphone if they support splitscreen apps and make it possible to arrange icons wherever you want
It has been possible to arrange apps, any way you like to, for a long time on iPhones. As for split screens, there are apps available that do that.
@@barryshafer but dont you have to do a work around adding invisible icons? I have heard the splitscreen apps aint as good as androids version?
Where can we get the wallpaper from?
Really nice review! I've been a samsung user for quite a few years now and I was thinking to change for the iPhone 14 pro max but I'm just not ready to give up the costumization.
If u are rich.. samsung makes more sense.. I change my phone every 2 years.. and samsung is the perfect one for me.
Obviously, I chose the iPhone 14 Pro because I’ve used iPhone since 2010.
I’m happy and satisfied with apple ecosystem. I got iPhone 14 pro max, iPad Pro 12 inch, MacBook Pro 16 inch, AirPods max, Apple Watch 6 44mm
lovely review. new subscriber!
The S22 pics are much brighter which i like better than the 14 pro max. The forward facing, the 14 pro max wins. As for the sound, I would give that to the S22. The 14 pro max tends to take on darker photos. My 13 pro max is the same way, darker pics. I'm still pro Apple.
Yes, Samsung over saturates and has much brighter highlights, where iPhone goes for natural look with details still in shadows if you want to edit it in post. Subjective but iphone were more pleasing to my eye,, and S22U better for social media straight away.
In europe these comparisons kinda make no sense.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max is like 350€ to 500€ more expensive than the s22 Ultra. In europe the s22 Ultra is competing with the iPhone 14 Plus.
Yeah.. 900 $ in USA 1500€ Europe :D and nobody use imesagge or this kind of stuff in EU... so having an iphone here is more about flexing that you can pay 40€ in Tmobile every month :D
