The tale as old as time. I have been using iPhones exclusively since the 3Gs. I have AirPods, an Apple Watch (that I’m selling as I don’t like the way it feels on my wrist), and an iPad. I currently have an iPhone 14+ and I love it. Works seamlessly and the battery life is wonderful. Even though I love this phone, I really really want to switch over to a Galaxy S23. I feel like I’m really constricted with iPhones now. I know it sounds stupid, but switching is hard as hell man. My wife uses an iPhones, 90% of my friends use iPhones, and my family does as well. I guess I’m just trying to get out of the herd mentality when it comes to iPhones. Nervous that I will get a phone I will regret getting. Rant over lol

    I made the switch and went with the s23 ultra. Hated it at first. Then one day it just started clicking and I could no longer function on my iPhone.

    There’s one app I really miss and that’s helvault. The alternatives for android kinda suck in my opinion. If you switch just make sure you’ll be able to get the apps you want. Some work slightly better or worse on android. The steam app is king on android vs ios!

    The camera is really great but it’s so much slower than iPhone as far as lining up a quick shot. You can shoot at far greater distances with Samsung though so it’s great for reading a sign half a mile away!

    The multitasking is what really drew me in. I had no internet at my house for months. So I started streaming movies from my phone to my Samsung TV. I could put that in the background and keep using my phone for other things. I was actually able to do all that and play music on a Bluetooth speaker at the same time!

    All in all there’s some trade-offs but I don’t have any regrets switching. I say try it. If you want iPhone quality then you better pay iPhone prices. Don’t cheap out.

    Also sorry for rambling I just figured I’d list a few things for ya
