Got a s21 ultra for my real estate business and just upgraded to 13 pro max for my personal. I will say when I’m at home lounging around I find myself using my ultra over my iPhone, just feel like I’m holding a powerhouse in my hands!
I swapped to Iphone finally and got the 13 max. However, i didn't like the way it operates and went to back to Android paying the restock fee and geting the S21 Ultra 512.The ram on the the device is is 16gb. The Iphone doesn't even compare on many aspects.

@@Jebemtiljeljak You're talking about the S 22 ultra. Heard about the camera enhancment, but the battery drops to a 3500 mah. So clearly the battery will be an issue. I would personally pass on the S22 Ultra. If anything stick with the 21 ultra and be sure to get the 512gb

I would say both are amazing smartphone I mean we are in era where you basically have power of computers in your pocket and you probably won't go wrong with either.
The only thing I hate about apple and ios is the level of customization to my UI and really everything else. I can't do anything like that on the iPhone without rendering its warranty useless. And apple is super strict on 3rd party repairs SMH.
@@thorgodofhammers1556 I always wondered about customization and how people love it. I've been on Android for closer to 10 years now, but never really customized my phone. Did it for a few months, but just made my use case just weird. But the more choices the better for everyone.
Got the S21Ultra recently, I have zero complaints, even w small hands lol it is pretty big, the one hand mode, being able to customize almost everything, the quad cameras w the director's mode and zoom are fantastic! I'm really enjoying this as I learn more daily but it supporting the s-pen was huge 🤩 (came from note5) that I loved it enough to keep going 6yrs & worked fine, when I traded it for this but all these new features, I discover/learn more about it daily, no issues, quicker & smoother lol I guess I forget how slow a older phone can get over time (had been years since any update for my old note5) But as each will find features in either to appease their needs & wants that's what matters most
I've had both... and I returned my 13 series iphone cause of connectivity issues... again with the iPhone series just like last year. For whatever reason the s21 ultra gets me better service and signal vs the iPhone. Great video again Saf! Can't wait for more!
I have the 13 pro max and I just absolutely love it (upgraded from 8+). I also love the S21 Ultra, I wanted to buy the S21 Ultra but leaving apple ecosystem is pain in the ass (probably intentional) and so I bought the 13PM and I do not regret at all. I’m excited for the Pixel 6, it’s looking good so far.
Both are great phones, but I personally have always preferred the amount of customization allowed with android as opposed to the now limited customization permitted by Apple.
This is it. Ive owned both , and many generations of each, and I always go back to Android, in the end. But I do love the iPhones. They're awesome phones , they just bore me after awhile.
If samsung goes with software update like Apple does I will never get another phone .. I love my s10+ but this is the last software update for him.. my old iPhone 6s got now ios 15 lol
@@SoulSeeker20 same for me. But i chose the easy going, simple idea the iphone supports. It really comes down the preferences. None is better in real life. Both better depending on what we are looking for in a phone
@@theoneonly5368 that's not plasticy, its matte, and looks more classy and elegant than iphone, and apple is just making the phone thick and heavier, no comfortable design and following same design since 3 generations shows how innovative apple is
Honestly if you're looking for a user friendly phone, iPhone 13 is the way to go. If you're looking for more customization, definitely do the Samsung. They're both great phones, I personally prefer Android over apple but I'll never knock someone for having an iPhone lol
@janaes couldn’t have said it any better myself. I have an iPhone at the moment and they’re trying very hard to allow consumers to multi task at the moment. Some apps will allow a video to minimize, others will not.
@janaes I currently have S8 and need an upgrade. So are you saying I can't minimize RU-vid on Apple like samsung allows. This may be the thing that makes me stay with android.
I have used both iPhones and Androids over the past 10+ years. Both have strengths and weaknesses when compared to one another. However, I recently traded my iPhone12 for an S21 Ultra and I am so happy with my decision. Thing is, iPhone really is not that great in comparison. I mean, iMessage and Facetime are literally all it has. iPhone's sucess is wholly dependent upon people feeling too tied up in their ecosystem to leave. The ability to customize and side load apps is also important to me, something Apple will never allow. If they have such a grip on what you can do with a device you purchased, is it even your device? I prefer a device that is a true multi-tool, a device that doesen't have training wheels. That is why I finally came back to Android.
So true, I never felt like I owned iphones, it felt like a subscription product. I only liked it back in the days because android phones had the worst chip and use to lag ..now I see no reason to use iphones.
@@The-Heart-Will-Testify wow me too. i use to have a HUGE liking for iPhones for exactly 7 years or probably even more. I don't know but when Samsung released their s20 i was shook especially their S21. My liking for iphones just suddenly faded away and the fact that a lot of Apple users are switching to android phones speaks volumes for me
@@AndyZULUL it's called preference, when I can do everything iphone can plus more, it's as fast and smoother, I have more control in my settings, notifications and I can side load apps like RU-vid vanced and more. I see no reason to switch back to iphone.. I use to like iphones when I was able to jailbreak it, I miss that...now the only apple product I like is the iPad
I love the non bias reviews. Thanks! I’ve used android/Samsung/Google for many years but I’m newly trialing iPhone. So far I’m very satisfied. Google products, (and poor customer service), pushed me away to try Apple products.
When does anyone ever use customer service for their phones? I definitely wouldn't pick my mega phone because one company has better customer service that I've maybe had to use twice in nearly 15 years of owning smartphones. If you don't know how to do something with your phone most people end up asking their friends, children, or grandchildren. Only time I've used cell company customer service is if I dropped and broke my phone.
@@Chrisnuzzo76 Not that I owe you an explanation but I didn’t use use Google support to learn how to use my phone so you assumed that wrong. I used Google support for google products that I purchased with Google b/c I had problems/faulty issues with the products, ya know, the way one is supposed to use customer service and warranty issues. I had bad experiences with Google support, which wound up being a factor in my experience with the company and was a factor in my decision to move on to a different company for certain products
What’s your opinion mate? I got the iPhone 13 pro max and it was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. Wish I got the s21. The camera is awful on the iPhone I think. My cat for an example, it’s not even the same colour in the pictures
Both are amazing 📝 Would pick samsung because of the best custom android, much more features in general than iphone, and also screen is much free, bigger & less distract, and the best for photos especially in zoom. Pick iphone for the best camera especially video, and render/edit photos/videos for productive is much efficient than samsung almost 5x times faster, gaming is also so much better on iphone its like playing on console, also the design overall is more aesthetic, premium & better overall, its more stylish for hangout or fitting your style.
Preferences definitely is the difference. I can say S21 is way more stylish with it's matte black finish and superior display and real estate. Cameras on S21 are more punchier if you like colors to pop and iphone are more realistic color wise. Night shots go to iphone as do the video capabilities but the S21 isn't to far behind in the video department. As far as overall functionality Samsung is king in that department having s-pen support is a game changer. I use it often and it's extremely helpful not to mention that Samsung has lots of Microsoft integration which helps a ton if one runs windows 10 etc. I always wonder why RU-vidrs never mention that. Anyhow, both are excellent phones just give Samsung the edge for overall functionality.
Nah the iPhone aesthetic has kinda gone boring on me after seeing it so much. The S21 design is new and fresh. Also the S21 also has better cameras in some areas as well, as well as being cheaper and arguably better value.
@@ghas4151 so what’s the point when you have so many power but can’t even split screen for some multi tasking. It’s like I own a Ferrari but I only display it in my gagrage.
The fact that a 10 month old device (S21 ultra) still stands tall next to the Iphone 13 Pro Max and doesn't show any massive deficiency in performance or functionality against the iPhone tells you a lot about Samsung and Android development in general over the years
@@sociopath2108 if the camera screen and general performance is the same yes. As an android main I can concede that you guys have better optimization and. Better battery as an Apple person you should realize it took long enough.
I love my s20 plus. I've had it going on 2 years now and it still amazes me. I see no need to upgrade to s21 Update: I got the S21 ultra and it's a beast and still have my s20 plus to switch out whenever I'm working
@@tinascupcake22 I got the 21 ultra anyway smh. Just love the build quality after I handled it in the store. I still have my s20 plus also no way I could've traded it in I love it
Samsung is always ahead of Apple in technology (wireless charging since 2015 on the S6), so I feel really odd going backwards and switching to an iPhone. But I do now have an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Mainly because Apple Carplay is better than Android Auto because of the split screen display the iPhone's integration does in my Mazda. That's the only thing I want from Apple that my Samsung doesn't have. That and easier compatibility with things like my LG OLED C1 TV. I had more trouble integrating my Note10+ than I do with my 13 pro max. I also think Siri is a smarter AI interaction than Google. Siri seems more humanlike, while Google is still very robotic.
Apple is well capable of these features and could have very comfortably added these features early on, but they know once all the good features are gone there will be nothing left to innovate on. The day apple finally gets rid of that notch and switches to a hole punch, that phone will sell like absolutely crazy. The day apple decides to upgrade that 12 megapixel camera to a 48 megapixel for example, that phone will sell like crazy as well. Im just curious to see what samsung will start doing once all the good stuff is gone. No hate though, i respect the S21 ultra and it really is a monster. Im just an iPhone guy 😅
@@svgkiwi3578 so you're basically saying Apple are dicks and hold back technology to give Apple enthusiasts something to look forward to, that way they will force them to buy a new phone even if they could have had all those "new" options 2 or 3 years ago with Samsung. So money is their primary motivation, not customer satisfaction or building the best product that they can. Sounds a lot like what fossil fuel and electric companies did to Nikola Tesla when he created wireless free power. When he died the FBI took all his research from his hotel room safe and laboratory, and they made it all disappear. I understand it from the marketing side, but to me it's a big corporation just taking advantage of mindless sheep that will buy Apple no matter how far behind they are, and those same people walk around with their nose up in the air like their shit doesn't stink and they truly believe they are the coolest kid on the block because of a logo on their outdated device. The idea of that business strategy actually makes me kind of pissed off that I recently bought an iPhone 13 pro max. Which I did just to change things up a bit because I've been an Android user for more than 10 years. My first smartphone was actually a Blackberry Storm(RIM device), which at that time it was no where near as good as the iPhone, but once Motorola started making Android phones, I quickly switched over to Android. From there I was back and forth between Samsung and Motorola for the longest time. I still remember how much I liked the Moto Droid phones, but eventually Samsung bought Motorola because they wanted all the patents Moto had, which was more than any other smartphone company in the world (I believe 🤔). Now Samsung has reduced the Motorola line to mediocre phones, so I've been using Samsung since probably 2014. Don't get me wrong, I do like things about this iPhone, but I will most likely buy an S22 Ultra when it is released in the near future because it's basically a Note22, and even my Note 10+ has many features that this flagship iPhone I'm using still doesn't have. The only thing I really see better about the iPhones is their compatibility with my LG OLED C1 TV and other things that can be accessed by cell phones, even my Xbox and car are simpler to use with Apple devices, and I think their camera skin tone and dark photo quality is better as well.
I agree with everything you said here, but I personally feel like Apple is wayyyyy behind in the assistant department. IMO google just does a far better job, but I guess it's down to preference.
This video is honestly great. He doesn't spend his time bashing samsung or bashing apple. He just lists the information and let's the audience decide what's best. One of the best comparison videos ever.
You won't be disappointed. I was a iPhone user since the original iPhone . I just switched to the s21 ultra and I won't go back . Battery life on this phone is a monster. Cameras are super fine 👌
@@abrahamrodz4883 I'm the opposite. Was a longtime Android/Samsung user and also was one of those people who used to talk crap about iPhone's and called people Apple fanboys, etc. But I just decided to try it out one day and bought one and now I like more than Android and Samsung.
@SuperSaf you missed some things that level some features out on the S21 Ultra. While the 13 Pro might support Dolby Vision video the S21 does support HDR10+ for video upto 4k. Furthermore the S21 can be unlocked by wearing a Google Wear or other wearable as well and it supports face recognition besides the fingerprint scanning. On the audio side the S21 does support hires/lossless audio upto the highest rates when using LDAC what's not support by the iPhone. I do think that these are important differences.
@@mryusuf3707 I dont think it's better, why is it according to you? What specs of the iPhone chip makes it a better DAC? Does it offer better fidelity? Better hires audio or codec support?
Facts bro I was saying the same thing.. galaxy has all the security scanners, iPhone got their face thing from galaxy , galaxy had it first n galaxy sound wayyyyy better definitely.
I have an S21 Ultra, and I would say that I've gotten used to both the 120 hertz refresh rate and the WQHD+ resolution which the iPhone 13 Pro Max doesn't have. Sometimes if I won't be able to charge my Galaxy for a while, I'll turn the screen setting to normal FHD+, but it does make a big difference in my opinion. Also, the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on the S21 Ultra is different from an optical fingerprint scanner found on a lot of cheaper phones; it is just as safe and secure as face ID because it is 3D instead of 2D.
Fun Fact : I still have my 7 years old Note 3 Neo with me (working) and the S pen of that phone works fine with my S21 Ultra... It does almost the same job as the new S pen🙌🙌🙌
@@etherity Well, both are really good phones. It's tough for even the most tech crazed people to pick one. If you are not in a rush then I'll suggest you wait 'til S22 Ultra's launch in January because there are rumours that they are improving their GPU game by alot and January is really close too. If there are not many improvements, then it will still a bit better than the S21 Ultra or if you don't like the S22 ultra then, at that time the S21 Ultra's price will be considerably low and you will get it at a bargain. Also, I'll like to give some pointers as to why you should go for the S21 Ultra (or S22 Ultra) - 1. Really easy to share files with friends quickly who have different devices. (quick share, nearby share, WiFi direct etc.) 2. The OneUI is an amazing user interface and gives a really fluid experience. Probably the best UI in the market right now. 3. You can customize the heck out of it unlike iPhone. 4. The camera is breathtaking and gives you more control on the device. Also, you can take freaking moon shots😂😂😂😂 and they are really something that you HAVE to experience in person to feel it's effect😌 5. You don't need to carry a separate cable for it as any Type-C cable will do the job. 6. Cost of repairs and parts are really low in the S21 Ultra as compared to the iPhone. For example the back glass of the iPhone costs around $850-$900 i guess while in the S21 Ultra, It's around $80-$100, a new screen also costs around $300-$400 on the S21U while it's more than double in the iPhone even though they use the same screen and Apple hasn't made major changes to justify the extra charge. But the iPhone has a upper hand in terms of performance but I think if the next year's chips are as good as they say then, Samsung might even close the gap in that area. At the moment, I'm forgetting a couple more points but I really hope that it helped.
Thank you for the comparison. Seeing how these systems work and capacity side by side is valuable. It has helped me make a decision on which way to go. s21 on reason that I am familiar with Android and Galaxy phones. I keep looking into Apple but they have not made anything that tells me it's better than what Samsung presents. I will stay with what has worked for me. thanks again!
@@Meschersmit262 I am assuming that your short answer is that apple has better software support? As a Samsung buyer (I wont say fan) I have never had issues BUT they are pretty darn slow on their updates. This information is good to know. I am trying to bring the spouse into more tech use. He is leaning toward a new Apple laptop and a new phone. I am thinking for him an iphone might also be the way to go it is more intuitive and user friendly. Good support would be essential. Also the filters on virus prevention on the computer is essential-he has gotten himself in trouble before. I have experienced Samsung support services in a word....nightmare. You have been extremely helpful!
@@fewy4082 ahuh ☺️, I have been an android user all my life, been a fan of the Xperia line up and of course had my fair share of samsung phones. I had the same ideals before, (i.e. There’s nothing an Iphone does that an android couldnt do) However when I had my first iphone (6s) It surprisingly held the test of time I mean apple even had it supported up to ios 15.2! That’s crazy given that the 6s is almost 7 years old. Meanwhile when we look at the galaxy s7 which was released a year later than the iphone 6s samsung already pulled the plug on its software support in just four years. So in terms of software support I think Apple beats the competition hands down. But then again as what has been said in the video, it all boils down to personal preference 😁 this is just my two cents. Anyway have safe year ahead and I hope the Mr enjoys the new phone.
I just changed to an iPhone 13 pro max after only using Android and RIM/Blackberry since smartphones were created. I only did so to try out a different OS and give myself a new challenge, because you are absolutely right, Samsung's devices and technology is beyond Apple's best. Unfortunately Apple does this on purpose so they can add those things to their next device and the Apple fan club buyers will trade in their $1300 phone for the next one because they are amazed it can now do something Samsung has been doing for 5 years. It's all a marketing scheme by Apple. The thing about that is they are assholes for knowing they have zombie followers and taking advantage of those mindless people's ignorance. But one positive thing I will say about IOS, is that because it's pretty much standard and not made for 20 different brands of phones, like Android is, therefore it's much easier for 3rd party devices to be maximally compatible with it. For example : my car's infotainment system and my LG OLED C1 TV. Those both are much easier to control and access IOS systems than when I use my Samsung Note10+. I'd say this is pretty much the only reason I am now using an iPhone 13 pro max.
They are very similar to each other in cameras and screen and performance. I think it comes down to a person’s personal preference whether someone prefers iOS or android.
Similar in camera, screen and performance!? Are you alright, the samsung was way better in all of them to apple. Only thing was that apple had a longer life battery but still the samsung has 11.5 hours
Actually iPhone in professional tests are far more superior. Only true competitor Apple had was Huawei and usa set them up good to remove the competition
@@Ailcia12345 professional tests haha, fucking look at the stats and the visual representation shown in the vid. The samsungs screen was much cleaner amd vibrant expressing more light amd clarity and the camera in photos and videos were insanely better showing colours to produce more rather than being in the backround
@@alexgeston hey spoiler alert mister 240p video quality watcher on the ultra thic plus Samsung plastic s1…own both and get wrecked. For a fact iPhone will win and we will always be better until Samsung gets their shit together
So for the last 2 days I have been trying to give the “wonderful” iPhone a try. I don’t care for the iPhone’s keyboard. It does not have the capability to create groups so I can see all my clients or see just family etc. ( talked to customer support he recommended that I send a suggestion to apple so they will add this feature. Really? Samsung had it forever.) iPhone makes you close each app separately by swiping them up one at the time. Using Samsung you can CLOSE ALL open apps with one swoop. Or one at the time. The iPhone app to move the data from my old phone (galaxy s10 plus) to the iPhone 13 pro max simply does NOT work. I know all the apple lovers think it’s great, and after 2 days I am convinced that it is just OK, and since iPhone users don’t know what they are missing so it makes it great. Their advertising is superior which makes people believe that it is superior, but I am convinced now that Samsung make a better phone. And lastly, most of the apps require pay to apple. Backup to the icloud.. Pay to apple. I backup to google for free. Apple is a greedy company as far as I can tell. Oh.. they sent me my 1st phone without charging capability. Really? I am sure that I will find more disadvantages as I keep using it for the next few days. #appleiphone #samsunggalaxy #iPhone13Pro
A few other things I don't like about iPhone.. 1. You can't Bluetooth files to non Apple devices. 2. If you close the phone dialer on contacts it opens back up on contacts.(super annoying) even when you close out the app in the background 3. It will not put your apps in alphabetical order for you. 4. The phone turns on automatically when you plug it in to charge (I don't know why but I don't like that)
So u assumed that android is better just because it can close all apps at once or the keyboards don’t work on iPhone as u intend. iCloud also gives u free storage. Samsung also doesn’t give chargers with their phones.
Also a dedicated sound option to alarms, ringtones, media and notifications. Only one button in iphone for everything. Also notifications management is better on Android. Split screen and touch id is also there.
Got the s21 ultra during preorder. My friends always gave me sh for being with Samsung. So I tested the new 13pro max and just wasn't impressed and wasn't as fast as I expected. S21ultra wins. My friends hate me now
I feel this 100%... I've tried with iPhone and just can't. This years iPhone series gave me connection issues. And I'm sorry having a blue bubble isn't worth it.
Yeah, iphone is 2 years ahead of any android in terms of processor. Something due to which the costs of smartphones go too high. Androids are struggling to catch up.
@@NicotineRosberg but jerry does not drop them and he actually does do logical test so your comment makes no sense You would not want an iPhone 6 fold right? So he lets you know the durability of the phone
I currently have the iPhone 12 Pro, going to upgrade soon. I do like the simplicity of iPhone, and easy to setup as long as you remember your Apple ID info, iCloud etc but I find that the phone crashed in me very often. Freezes and is just really slow at times. Has much better luck on my previous (cheaper android a71) phone. I do really love the Face ID though
In this day and age, the huge notch on the iPhone is too much of a price to pay just for faceID...a feature we don't use all the time because of the facemask requirements. I love the limitless options samsung and other android phones continue to give.
They are both amazing phones... While I do love the customization of Android, I love the snappiness and quickness of iOS... I have a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and I just bought the 13 Pro Max... Gonna use the 20 Ultra as a dev device and my iPhone as a daily driver
I switched to the S21 Ultra after being with Apple for years. Four months later, I'm going back to the iPhone. While I think the S21 Ultra is a good looking phone, I just find iOS to be a better operating system. I hate that on Android I have to basically use Google and Samsung. Apple definitely needs to revamp the look of iOS and give us more personalization options (one thing I really like about Android).
Having tried both phones I got a clear winner which is obviously S21 Ultra for so many reasons which is sad when 13 Pro Max Is new and still behind. People will be defending the slightest thing saying you can't see it or feel it etc. I use 13 pro right now since I do own other apple products and like the ecosystem itself but the phone is a different story. The Resolution on iPhone. I thought something was wrong with my display but just a bad resolution. Why no 1440p 500ppi? YOU CAN EASILY TELL, it shocked me. The 12mp Camera cannot be pushed more which can be seen. Not so sharp nor vibrant pictures other than good lighting it can give amazing pic. Videos iPhone wins though. Telephoto 3x and still got an F2.8? bruh, at least be on par with Samsung there or better xD The Face ID has been inconsistent so far. I've had so many times it says it's unlocking but I can't swipe and have to press the power button and then press again and then it works. 120hz has been so awesome on iPhone but inconsistent again! Dunno if it is because apps are adjusting, might be? Spotify for example with animations seeming like it is on 30 frames. It's like the phone can't tell what is going on and is ramping down........ Not just in apps but also when I scroll in settings it sometimes is like ramping down... Should just stay 120hz till the screen is still or the content is something else....... Also no Wifi 6E or Bluetooth 5.2! The Notch is still irritating, should have been narrower instead honestly. Love the battery life on the phone though! Amazing! So S21 Ultra without a doubt a winner between them. I just like the iPhone with my other devices personally. Can't go wrong with either though.
I don’t think people realize how truly impressive the s21 ultra is . 8k video capability, 100x zoom, 120 hz display, supports reverse charging, in screen fingerprint scanner, just brilliant
@@asianserenadr7776 yeah, the samsung pervs use the zoom to stalk, and the morons use the 8k to brag about it, even tho they have no where to watch that footage
I just switched from the S21 Ultra to the 13 Pro Max. I think I’m a lifelong Apple user now. The inclusiveness of iPhones ecosystem is so far and away better than android and it probably always will be. Obviously you can do pretty much everything on Android that you can do on iOS but stuff like cloud storage, the play store, and messages feels a bit third rate on Android. There is one thing that I will give to Android. Googles voice assistant is still leagues better than Siri. However I don’t find myself using either enough for it to make a big impact. End of the day both are amazing phones but I feel like the quality of iPhones ecosystem is the difference maker.
I have Samsung for 6 years, pushing on switching to the iPhone and is just curious on some things that you like, noticed thats a plus for you. Also when you say ecosystem please elaborate, I'm going to read everything you say doesn't matter how long it is. This is a big investment and change and I would like your opinion.
I have both .Samsung only for payments and iphone for gaming and performance.Samsung phones can't handle gaming.Even top ones samsung phones reduce performance after 5-6 months.
@@xxkingxdijonxx8118 I switched to the S21 Ultra in May after having an iPhone for years. While I do like the customization options on the phone (reminds me of Windows on a computer), there is much to be desired. I find that my pictures, though crisp, don't depict the true colors of what I'm taking pictures of. My phone constantly freezes and crashes (maybe a software issue rather than hardware). I HATE that anytime I want to save an image to my Gallery, I basically have to text it to myself THEN save the attachment; that is really annoying. The applications do seem to work better on iOS/iPhone. The iPhone feels more premium. For some reason, the Samsung feels a lot like plastic. I agree with the above comment that the Apple ecosystem is a game changer (though I thought I could do without it); everything just runs smoother. All of your Apple devices communicate and sync with one another. Updates are pretty frequent as well. Setup is literally as easy as turning on the device, inputting a few things, and you're good to go. Overall, I think that though Samsung isn't afraid to innovate, Apple is better at taking many of those ideas and perfecting them. Just my opinion. Hope it helps. Edit: I forgot something very important: battery life on the S21 Ultra. It is absolutely horrid.
@@_chade Wow man I read every single detail. Thank you so much for this. Is maneuvering through apps and stuff hard with Apple, I noticed from other people's phone there's not a back button like the Andriods have.
@@xxkingxdijonxx8118 No problem brotha. Yes, maneuvering through apps is easy. I believe iOS has a back button, but I'm not completely sure. I've never had any issues, though. I know I talked about updates, but unlike with Android, you're guaranteed an iOS update every year; I've never seen Apple skip a year.
The Galaxy S1 Ultra has more natural colors especially the front while the iPhone has oversaturated colors (yellowish tint especially on faces) which iPhone users will love. You can't go wrong with both.
I'm watching from my S21 Plus, basically a budget S21 Ultra. I'm not upset with my choice. I didn't have the money to buy the Ultra, and I bought this phone full price. Oh well I love the S21 so much anyways and the phantom black on the Ultra and plus so sexy 🥵🥰
I actually like the flat sides on the iPhone because the S21 has slipped out of my hand too many times while moving it around to get a pic or text. The flat sides give a good grip!
@@imbored1712 hehe, I actually ended up hating the iPhone 13 PM. I returned it for a Samsung Z Fold! Tmobile had a great incentive that cut the $400 increase in price down to $30. Sweet!
Coming from a Note 3 to the s21 ultra was a big upgrade. It does everything I want it to. I just miss the multiple day battery life I had on my old phone.
Great video but you forgot to mention the S21 supports WiFi 6e while the iPhone 13 Pro only supports Wifi 6. Big difference is connectivity and download speeds
Hey brother great video ...really enjoy the videos you make. Well you have covered all areas but just wanted some insights to make a final purchase decision between these two 1. Since these are your daily drivers have you faced any heating related issues on the s21 Ultra? Also on the IP13 pro max some users are complaining about some bugs in connectivity to apple devices, have you faced this? 2. Connectivity and also the 5g bands. Between the two how are the speeds over Wifi, 4g and 5g. Would be helpful if you could reach out on these 👍 Keep up the good work brother
I use s21 ultra(sd888)and game a lot, the phone normally doesn't heat up unless i play for many hours, and it has wifi 6e and if u have a compatible router its noticeably faster.it does gave 5g capability but unfortunately no 5g at my place
@@aidaseemusic1922 truer words havent ever been spoken LOL Plottwist: Aliens are only on the low resolution spectrum and can only be seen with low end camera/video recording software.
I found someone who likes the bottom address bar in Safari on iOS 15! I like it too, very handy especially when swiping between tabs and reaching for them.
I haven't tested out the 13 but I think these are both great phones and you know the s21 is a great phone when it competed with the 12 pro max and now the 13 pro max
My last iPhone was the 7s plus and my wife has it now. I switched to the S21 ultra and haven't looked back. For me the iPhone is more of the same. The features on my S21 are so good and more practical. I also bought the pen and case and for me it's no problem. Lots of folks complain about the case, but I have no issues with it. Being able to take a note on the fly and do whatever you want with it is so cool. Even my scanner has become a paper weight on my desk. So many features and I've had it for over a year now with no hiccups. I'm watching carefully now on what the S22 ultra will bring to the table. I can't say I'll never go back to the Iphone, but until they bring something compelling I'll stick the S21 or S22 ultra when it comes out.
What I like about Android is that you can fully customize your phone. Live wallpapers, different keyboards, ringtones, literally anything without having to spend money. I’ve had an iphone xr for 2 years and i am now switching to the s21 ultra for those reasons. Though i do like the apple emojis and how an iphone feels in my hands, i think i will enjoy the s21 more. Let’s hope I don’t regret not getting the iphone 13.
I went with iphone 13. have always used samsung but my s10 has been meticulously cared for never been around water and yet the USB c port is bad.. could've went with s21 cause it's amazing but from my experience samsungs build quality ismt the best long term.
I own both iPhones and Samsungs and with that said, there's really no comparison in regards to display. Samsung takes it. The water resistance is actually better on the Samsung phones based on my water submersion experience. My XS max couldn't survive a light splash, multiple Samsung phones passed the submersion test. I do prefer ios over android. Although android is a lot better than it used to be. There are pros and cons to both phones and operating systems. Buy what you like. Buy both.
@@figbyfig5592 , That's the strange part. I've seen people swim, snorkel and even dive with their iphone and they still worked. Mine barely had sprinkles on it and the display took a dump.
@@garyjustgary5059 thats strange i bought a z flip and returned it samsung has nice phones but i like ios more but might buy it if the price goes down rocking the 13 pro max 1 tb very happy with it
I really used to like android till I had to be stuck with an iPhone for replacement. I really like I phone because it’s simple it works every time and does what it’s supposed to do. With android i have definitely had more problems, mainly gps and connectivity issues. Bluetooth issues. I’ve never had those issues with iPhone. Plus apps are more cohesive on iPhone.
The main thing I love about Apple is just the way that a majority of apps we use on a day to day are optimized for the phone. My biggest problem with my S21 even though it is a amazing phone is the way that all apps aren't optimized for it in the best way.
As a current Galaxy Note 9 owner and an Android user for the last 12 years the iPhone 13 is very tempting. That said everytime I see that notch I second guess switching. It makes the device look so dated to my eye. Very 2018. I'm still on the fence but will probably wait to see what the s22 lineup has to offer before deciding.
I have a note 10+, and would like to give the iPhone a try but man, that notch is so ugly!! It'll be the S22 Ultra for me unless I decide to wait a little longer for the iPhone 14.
Moved to Android after the iPhone 3G, liked the idea that I could tweak and customise the Android OS more. In reality Android and iOS are basic mobile OSs though, once I'd tweaked them a bit I got bored and left them to do what they do. After 12 years of Android I'm now upgrading my OnePlus 6 to a 13 Max instead of the Ultra 21. Why? I simply want an OS that's not driven/funded through marketing and Ads, I love the fact Apple have blocked apps exchanging data with each other, user privacy, data and security is taken seriously,
@@debojyotibishalchakraborty6393 naa whostheboss I don't follow him anymore. I think his videos became more childish for my liking these guys are more pro more mature
Cameras are definitely moving in the right direction (but still a ways to go). I’m upgrading from an iPhone 6. Hopefully, when I dump the 13 for an iPhone 20 I’ll no longer have to drag the DSLR around anymore! .....sent from my iPhone 6 (for a couple more weeks yet)
The only thing that is pushing me towards iPhone is just how Samsung handles skin tones. It makes me look paler than I am, even with everything turned off, I just don't like what it does to my skin tone. It's very uneven as well because some pics it actually looks great but most of times (especially with front facing cam) it doesn't do well. But ultimately it comes down to personal preference. I'm probably gonna wait for the Pixel 6 Pro though.
imo apple makes ur skin tones look way more orange than they are. although i will say that samsung tends to go towards cooler tones a lil bit. camera testers also say that the actual skin tones are somwhere between apple and samsung
@@rohaanbasit5598 ultimately it does come down to personal preference. I have black friends who don't like Samsung cameras because it makes them look more fair skinned or paler in complexion then they actually are but iPhones work a lot better for them with warmer tones. I just look like a ghost with the front camera but if I'm directly under sun light then it kinda evens out and looks great
Question. Do you have to get two separate phone numbers to use both devices simultaneously? Or is there an app that exist that allows to use one phone number and 2 devices? Thanks! I am subscribed because the content is amazing! Thanks and great video.
Here in my country Samsung s21 Ultra (1180$) Iphone 12 Pro Max (1650$) Havent seen Iphone13 flagship in anystores yet but surely its expensive too. Pricewise I will go for Samsung!
It comes to your personal preference. What you would like to do with it. If you want to have a nonerestricted dvice good for multitasking with the most versatile camera setup then go for s21ultra. If you want to have that most reliable setup and app support with best video capabilities, then go for apple.
Two phones that are the so close to one another. The deciding factor for me is the fact that I have full control over my $1000+ device when I choose the S21. Apple users will always be at the mercy of what Apple thinks is best for them. That's a huge factor in my book.
@@atilaszlo8288 None i used Samsung for years, my last one 10 plus and ill never go back to that garbage again, especially here in EU with the exynos shit they keep pulling
@@bubonicrider8021 exynos on S20U was bad, exynos on S21U was about equal. Plus for daily casual use, you really can't tell the difference, if you want to call them out for dumb things, call out the fact they don't add a charger to the box.
@@Dwivil Still why cant we get Snapdragon in EU i call bullshit, however i do agree most user wont notice preformance difference. Another thing that bothers me is phones are getting too big. Anyway its a shame huawei is out of google services otherwise i would have stayed on android.
For me it was about the security breech as well. Apple prides themselves with security... til it breeches. Haven't had that issue with Samsung and Knox.
I am part of the Apple world, but love technology so this video is awesome! I do not like Android, had them for years but hated the endless updates…I switched back when Apple came out with the iPhone 5. So things may have changed but I LOVE Apple and the products! Thank you for the side by side comparison!
I switched to apple. Had been android since evo 4g. Airdrop tech is awesome. Before apple had lots of missing features like hotspot but not anymore. I still prefer to use google maps but I can do that on apple. I used to like android because you could switch out batteries and add micro sd. Now they are both the same with storage and batteries. I am pretty happy with my current choice.
Apple has allowed some sort of customisation but Samsung kept on adding these gesture navigation and it makes me stay in the samsung brand. I do appreciate the efficiency of Apple chip but somehow the iPhone 13 pro max is even heavier than s21 ultra, so it defeats the purpose of the smaller battery. Great phones.
That shot of you swinging on a punchout verus pulling up on the hideous Apple notch is genius. If people were asked if they wanted a hole on their TV or a lump on their screens it would be a somewhat easy debate.
