It's been two months since I switched to the S24 Ultra from the iPhone 15 Pro Max. In this video, I reveal what it's been like to live with the S24 Ultra exclusively, and whether or not I miss the iPhone. Oh, and I delve into the WWDC iOS 18 and Apple Intelligence announcements, too - will they tempt me back?

You'll switch when you want the challenge and thrill of mastering a new machine. Switching from Apple to Apple? That's for kids! Switch from Pixel to Samsung? Yawn... Switching from Android to Apple (and vice versa)? Now you're talking! More engagement with the tech. The large and small differences are brought into sharper relief and lead to deeper understanding. You'll know when to switch! 'Til then, enjoy!

@trevinodude Месяц назад

I like this series of videos about your switch to the Galaxy. As someone who switched from Samsung to Apple years ago, and even now says that both iOS and Android are great and which one you use should be more based on which ones makes you more comfortable and happy to use, (in my case Apple only really getting me to stick around because I also have an Apple Watch and iPad, since ecosystem synergy really gets you once you are in)… I find it fascinating to see someone do the exact opposite switch I did. Even now I still miss Android and it’s greater customization options as well as how crazy experimental their features can be in Android phones, but not enough to switch back and break out of the ecosystem. In the end, people should use what makes them happy, and as a former Galaxy user… I can totally understand why someone would want to stick to the Galaxy when they switch to it. Good on you for enjoying what you enjoy. If I had more money I’d probably try to have both phones to really compare which phone model I prefer these days… but I’m not made of money 😂. Still, I’m happy and as long as you are happy I will always support your decisions! Good on you, man.

i have both, s24 ultra is king, but somethings about samsung are just unpolished, to me. just look at his video at the start, the jello effect is really bad. iPhone's dont do this. just a bunch of little things that has me waiting for ios 18 to see which will come out on top.

@CharlesRohrer Месяц назад

Use whatever you like using. I'm thinking of taking a turn on the iPhone again even though I've never gotten past a couple months with one.

@dswartze Месяц назад

I'm an S24U and Windows user. When you were describing your excitement for iOS 18 and MacOS Sequoia, I know what you mean ... because I use that feature all the time with PhoneLink. So it sounds like iPhone for Mac users and Android for Windows users, maybe?

I have used Android for more than 10 years. Lately I've really been wanting to get an Apple Watch--I have the Galaxy Watch 6 classic LTE, and honestly, it's about as useful as strapping a brick to your wrist. But every time I look at Android vs iPhone features, I can't bring myself to make the switch.

@drestrick3899 Месяц назад

Give it a try. Iphones have a lot of features but it’s like you have to watch the right RU-vid channels to discover them. I miss Samsung sometimes but I think iOS 18 will bring alot

@joeyjoey7972 Месяц назад

if you dont care for multitasking, DEX etc then go iphone. I have a watch ultra and galaxy watch 6 classic LTE, the apple watch is generations ahead in speed and apps, but the galaxy watch is good enough for me, the main device is the phone.

@Rinnara21 Месяц назад

I took the plunge when the iPhone 15 pro max was released, I had the s22 ultra + watch 5 + buds pro. I was a bit worried about not getting along with iOS cause I’ve been with android for 8 years straight but no problems at all. Now I have the 15 pro max + watch series 9 + iPad 10th gen. I put my iPad on the iOS 18 beta and it’s great. I’d highly recommend giving Apple a shot, they’ve come a long way 😊

@julessmith5581 Месяц назад

...remember with Android you have a wide choice of watch e.g. Garmin, Samsung, Google etc. depending on your needs; with Apple Watch you're stuck in the Apple walled garden

@adamsher86 Месяц назад

Your series about changing to the Samsung has been great. I was always Android through and through... but, actually went the other way from a new Galaxy S21 two years ago to an iPhone 13 Pro and wouldn't ever go back. It was partly to do with work and part family. Since experiencing iOS, Facetime and airdrop then carplay I realised what the hype was about. Can't wait for ios18 and the personalisation!!

@beckerj97 Месяц назад

I made the opposite switch last year after having nothing but Android phones my entire life. I'm not a tech reviewer or content creator or anything like that. Just a normal guy. I can honestly say that I don't think either is really better than the other, they're just different, and it's about which features you prefer. I'm planning to stick with Apple for a while because of a few features I actually use, like MagSafe, integration with my iTunes account on my PC, airtags, and now an Apple Watch. But if you don't care about these Apple-specific features, using an Android will be just as good an experience. One big feature from the Galaxy that I miss though is the extra long zoom. When i go to sporting events the extra zoom really came in handy.

@graham1155 Месяц назад

I missed the iPhone, so bought a 15 pro. However, the 15 pro overheats all the time, and I’m in the uk where the weather is awful, I dread to think what using it in the heat would be like.

@davidjacobs6244 Месяц назад

I am in the UK and have the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max and haven’t had any overheating issues at all.Sure,it gets a bit warm when I have a shed load of apps to update and rather warm in direct sunlight but not really hot and that will happen with any smartphone.

@graham1155 Месяц назад

@davidjacobs6244 I had the 15 pro max before going to the s24 ultra, that heated up, however, nowhere near the heart of the standard 15 pro. When connected to apple car play and streaming music it gets so hot I have to hold it in front of the air con vents. Sadly, there is no exaggerating here, it really is that bad.

@nikc1313 Месяц назад

I just received my galaxy book 4 edge with the new Qualcomm chip yesterday and was playing with the nearby share feature with my s24 ultra. The symbiosis between the galaxy devices is really great. If you were ever to make the switch to windows I'd love to see how it compares to apple's version.

@pug_63 Месяц назад

I think swapping back when the new iPhone’s released is a good plan. And then maybe do the same again when the S25 gets released? Benks cases look good, but I’m not a full case fan. I got my Product Red 13 Mini on purpose, so a bumper, grip and wrist strap are my accessories of choice. Also, the battery banks look great, but no stand? I use mine to charge my iPhone and trigger standby mode. “It just works!” Thanks, as always.

@KevinTspirit Месяц назад

Great viewpoints. I agree that all the phones and devices are equally good. I've taken the easy way out of this either/or discussion, I've for years kept an Android (Samsung or Pixel) and an iPhone. I know that it has been a privilege many can't or shouldn't necessarily do, but it's worked for me. Enjoyed the views of everyday London.

@nickharvey6064 Месяц назад

Hi Mark, you mention in the review which is the best screen saver for the S24 Ultra but you don't say what it is! I cannot find it in the description either? Any help would be great as this is the one thing that puts me off going to this phone. Thanks Nick

@frankniethardt1813 Месяц назад

Regarding iPhone mirroring - you have to try Windows Phone Link with that S24 Ultra. Besides the "keeps your iPhone locked" it is even better. Having several Apps from the S24 streamed to your Windows same time. Universal copy, transferring media and so on...

@kertveira Месяц назад

How do you know it’s better? The iPhone mirroring isn’t out yet. How does one make an assessment of a feature that they haven’t even tried yet? lol

@frankniethardt1813 Месяц назад

The iPhone mirroring does just mirror your iPhone, judging from the demo. With phone link you can have multiple apps open at the same time. That’s why. But you have a point. Let’s just wait for the final product.

@DamianNocun Месяц назад

I would like to have a proper keyboard as on Android in iOS. The apple keyboard is crap when you are using different language than english plus missing number raw. I dont know why apple is not changing anything related to keyboard. Seems like they are closed in US world... Now im in between to choose S24 Ultra, 15 Pro Max or Xperia 1 IV.

@papadougpapadougsadventures Месяц назад

I have the IPhone 15 pro max. I am steeped in the Apple ecosystem. My main driver is the M4 iPad Pro which replaced the iPad Pro I had used for years, I use Apple TV, I have an M2 MacBook and an IPad mini in my office. I have the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and I use CarPlay every day. I could not change at this point because I enjoy the seamless process between devices. I use AirPod pros and max. No Vision Pro for me at this point.

@SIHRA2 Месяц назад

I did swap ngl I was so happy with the s24ultra. It’s amazing phone and I miss the phone as a single device but then I got the tab s9 ultra and the buds pro and the watch and that’s where it all fell apart as a system. I’m big into systems and having things work in a flow. I use the same method and have a system when it comes to washing my car or cutting the grass. Life has to have a system and Samsung right now does have a system but it’s not as good as Apple so I’m back with apple, 15 pro max M1 air and ultra 2. It just works and the system as a whole is solid.

I have the S24 Ultra and I had the S23 Ultra before that, and I absolutely love them both. In fact, I also had the S21Ultra and a bunch of Samsung phones before that, along with plenty of iPhones. Yes, I have a problem 😂. But I must admit that as far as computers, go I do prefer MacOS over Windows, especially when it comes to laptops - my preferred form factor. I actually just this week swapped back to a MacBook Pro after trying an i9 Core Ultra Asus Zenbook Duo a couple of months. And I just... I guess really do prefer MacOS, and now seeing how much tighter the already awesome integration is about to become between the iPhone And MacOS... I've got a feeling I'll be getting an iPhone 16 Pro. We'll see... We'll see.

I totally agree with you about the fluidity of iOS and ease of getting around. I know many android user would disagree. Maybe that comes down to using one operating system for so long. Hard to go wrong with flagships. I think content creator find iOS more useful and windows user tend to appreciate android more.

@rockstar6790 Месяц назад

I'm sticking with the iPhone and I can't wait to get the new iPhone to replace my 14 Pro Max so that I can use USB-C. And yes, AirDrop is a life-saver for transferring files to your Mac. Personally, despite mentioning that it's less of a hassle, who would want to keep switching platforms everytime when you have other responsibilities. iOS and Android have their own issues so just get used to one unless you are a tech reviewer.

@The.JZA. Месяц назад

I've been tempted back to Android a few times over the last 4 or so years (Note 20 Ultra, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and S22 Ultra) but every time I switched back to iPhone. I just prefer the OS, the thoughtful features and the integration that allows me to get things done without headaches. There are benefits to Android for sure but equally there are benefits to iOS. To each their own, I say. I still get tempted when I see the latest shiny new Android phone but not enough for me to make the switch. I'm using the 15 Pro Max right now and loving it. Fantastic phone even if it's not the absolute best in every category, it's quite possibly the best overall phone or at least 1st equal. I'm pretty excited for Apple Intelligence but I know it's not going to be a smooth sailing as lots of people are implying. There will be capability walls initially and it will take a year or two to break down those barriers but even off the bat it should be a huge improvement over the current Siri experience. She's good but not great.

@mattzo12 Месяц назад

Always interesting to see various views. A couple of years ago I went from the iPhone 12 to the S22 Ultra. Very impressive piece of tech, but 5 months later I switched to the iPhone 14 Pro. Partly size - 6.8" is huge - but I found that the iphone just worked for me (simply because it'd been using one for 5 years) and the extra features of Android are not important to me. For convenience, I like the Apple walled garden these days! I am quite envious of the S24 Ultra though. Not that I'd want to use it as my primary device, but as a piece of kit it looks really cool.

@robertolira9843 Месяц назад

Hi Mark, I followed the same journey as you. But after buying the iPad Pro 11 M4, because I was scammed for my iPad Pro m1 . I decided to go back to my 15pro Max. There were a few things that made me go back, plus all my family are locked into the apple eco system. Don’t get me wrong I loved the S24 ultra and the customisation etc. But iPhone still is the easier to use.

@NBGUYVER 25 дней назад

Great iphone video and advertisement. My daughter's have iphones. I use Samsung. I have the fold 6 and find iphone difficult to use. The back button for instance. It's not uniformed at all. On some sites it's in the top left hand corner. On other sites it's in a different location. Why? I use my phone for everything including investing, constant money transfers between U.S. and Euro accounts etc...I need 2 - 3 windows open most times, so multitasking or multiple windows 🪟 at the same time is extremely important. When I'm on the run, my phone is folded. When I'm stationary and need to get things done, it's unfolded. I use it for conference calls and use it in a different folded orientation then so I don't have to hold the phone. I personally ( just speaking for myself) can not do anything productive with an iphone. It's great for Instagram or playing around with, but for it's price I would need it to be able to be more than fun.

My pixel 7 pro is my everyday, it does everything and more. However my filming camera is a 14 pro because it has the better video quality. however it is a bit of a ballache when it comes to editing on my laptop which is a windows. but yes I go with work arounds and thats just how it is when it comes to working on a budget (I don't just have a couple of thousand to drop on a macbook). Realistically for every day use a flagship phone isn't what everyone needs and if you do have one you rarely use every avaliable feature so it becomes a case of figuring out what you needs to use a smartphone for and buying accordingly and that could end up being a far cheaper phone which could be an android or it could be lower spec'd iphone.

@That_big_guy Месяц назад

For me a stylus is a necessary feature. As an american who is 6 ft 5 inches tall and having hands the size of a dinner plate i find often that a stylus is needed at times for selecting certain things on screen. My big fingers when on a website selecting checkout have many times caused me to select unwanted items and adding them to my cart for instance. Having the stylus stored in the phone is a god send to me as ive never lost one yet unlike those cheap ones you can buy for any phone. Ive tried to use my daughters iphone and maybe im just to old but i can never figure it out. Im only 41 but i have to take the phone to my daughter to switch between apps or screens or even to go back to another screen. Android is just so much simpler for me. Having the three bar to bring up all open windows and having a back button are a must as it makes it so much easier even a child can do it. I also like android because i like the idea of being able to have my phone serviced anywhere i want if it needs repair and not being stuck with certified repair shops as that leads to astronomical markups and if you dont pay that they brick your phone. No thanks. I know some people have no problem woth that but me personally if i pay as much for my phone as a cheap used daily driver car i should be able to use that phone any way i choose and add or repair parts with any products i want not just the manufacturerers parts. I also like being able to take my old phones that are still plenty useful and root them to aftermarket operating systems and repurpose them for other projects which you cannot do on iphone. For instance i have an old note 10 ultra that is still capable of running anything modern with no problem so it gets loaded with games and is also the gps tracker for my electric scooter. I have quick release pins on the deck of the scooter so i can lock it inside and if its ever stolen i can track it to right where its at and retrieve it. Because the phones unlocked i use it with a very cheap basic prepaid service sim card and it only costs me about $10 a month which is 50% cheaper than most gps tracking devices monthly service costs. As far as i know you cannot do things like that with an old iphone. To each their own though. Im not a fan of being told what i can and cannot do with something i spent my own hard earned money on.

I just did the switch too and never going back to iPhone. I love this Galaxy S24 Ultra. I had more bugs on my 14 and 15 Pro Max that I ever had on any Android phone. As far as fluidity and all that stuff it's about the same. Talk to text is horrendous on Apple that's what drew me away I just spoke this whole comment without one correction, if I've been using my iPhone I would have had to correct 17 words already

Went from a 13pro to an S23 ultra and 4 months later here I am typing this message on a 15pro max 😂 I agree Samsung make the best screens! But the software is just so much smoother and works so much better than Android IMO ✌️

@deonh9303 Месяц назад

Appreciate the honesty Mark! I do think that iOS 18 with the ability to customise the phone more will likely reduce the gap that's always existed for the Android guys that wanted to try iOS but saw that as a dealbreaker. These customisation options might just be enough to keep those of us who got bored with the iOS look and feel happy enough without the need to explore the dark side 🤣. I'm fortunately or unfortunately so vested in the  world that switching is very unlikely.

@Muddster81UK Месяц назад

I own the 13 Pro Max. The very small upgrades by Apple in the 14 and 15 haven’t swayed me into upgrading. I do like the look of the S24 Ultra, and the Pixel 8 Pro BUT…I’m not sure on leaving iOS and as you said in this video, I just find iOS so smooth and simplistic to use. I own an Apple Watch 8 and an IPad Pro. No Mac, so I don’t have to worry about that.

@Spoonfed78 Месяц назад

The screen mirroring thing should have already existed in the "ecosystem". That and more exists already and works great cross platform and cross brand. Ie 9 year old Windows 10 Gamjng Laptop and Motorola Edge, get that and more. Screen mirroring (and use the phone separately at same time). Drag and drop, copy and paste, individual multiple apps casting, automatically creates a local drive of the phone, side by side screen continuum of each, remote webcam with ai smarts etc. Plus a full desktop experience solo like Dex. It's odd to me that the "ecosystem" is talked up and then one heres about new features that didn't exist but others already use across brands 🤷‍♂️

@PlanetEaterG Месяц назад

I jumped from Apple to Samsung and back to Apple. I left when the Note 9 came out, when to the S10, S10+, Note 20 ultra 5G. I really like the Note 20 Ultra. Went back to Apple when the 13 came out. I only went back because I couldn’t sent HD photos or videos to my friends and family, who all used iPhones. I’m thinking of going back to Samsung, because Apple is supposed to be supporting RCS messaging this fall.

It's alright, Mark. It doesn't matter which you use. If your content is more towards iOS, then it's understandable you prefer an iPhone. Like you said, you're a content creator, so switching from one to the other is normal. Cheers!

Yes enjoyed it! 2 comments. Disagree with your Android v iOS solidity one-liner. Did you ever play with Good Lock to appreciate how dull and locked-down iOS is? Second, your needs for AirDrop are very specific. I switched from 14 ProMax to s23 Ultra and just use Google Photos between my Phone and my MBP. No probs.

@MarkEllisReviews Месяц назад

Totally agree, although I think the locked-down nature of iOS is partly why it's so stable. It's all about compromises in this game. As for the absence of AirDrop, I now do exactly what you do and for my business it's just a _bit_ too slow. Again - specific use cases, as you say!

@jimbrimble3131 Месяц назад

The real question for me is, was the switch to the S24 Ultra in order to gain the best screen available on a phone and a great camera system worth the negatives that you pointed out? 1. The faff of changing to another OS in the first place; 2. The lack of integration with all of your other Apple products (not just the Mac); 3. The perceived instability of Android which reduces your confidence in it day to day. I would objectively suggest probably not. Is the screen so much better that the iPhone screen looks like a spud in comparison? Is the camera system, 5 or 10 times better than that of the iPhone? Given that you are not using the most unique feature (s-pen) and probably never intended to, has it been worth it?

I am still very much in love with Apple, for their vision, their aesthetics, and how they give life and personality to their devices. However, there is one fatal flaw that has driven me to use the Samsung Fold and Tab. There is no way to enlarge non-dynamic fonts. Evernote is one of the apps I use most on my devices, and the font size for notes on Evernote are non-dynamic, and are excruciating for my eyes to read. One day, when they finally allow user-adjustment of non-dynamic fonts, and release a folding (please, NOT flipping) phone, I will be back in the Apple world.

No I won't be switching from Apple. I do have a Samsung Note 9 as a second device, but I hardly ever use it. I am entrenched in the Apple eco system. Iphone, iMac, Macbook Pro, Apple Tv, iCloud, Apple Music, etc etc. Airdrop is massive for me. Yes, I know there are work arounds, but it's just seamless. I have looked at the S24 Ultra and it looks an amazing phone. But there's just not enough reason to change.

The S24 Ultra is a sweet phone, no doubt. It's VERY impressive. Excellent cameras and the 8 Gen 3 is impressive as hell. I have the vanilla S24 and I like it a lot. My main is the 14 Pro Max and will be for the foreseeable future. I really like Apple's ecosystem, especially since I switched to iPhone with the 11 Pro Max. I loved that size, these phones are too damn big! All that said, you can't go wrong with the Ultra and personally, I wouldn't try to discourage anyone from switching. I just tell them to keep in mind that when switching, there is a learning curve.

Yo, Switch from 14 pro max to s23 ultra no problem easy. The scree is marvelous the key point for me. The rest is equal in many ways android is good nowdays. I d say maybe i agree with you the general fluidity is better on the iphone. Sometimes the s23 ultra has a bit of lag... But enjoy the experience and like you i will go back to the iphone maybe for the 16! I wish they gave us 120 hertz on the regular iphone! A whooping 1000 for 60 hertz is a shame ! Come on apple!

The switch from iPhone 13 Pro to Samsung Galaxy was scary at first due to all my family and friends having iMessage, but I’m happy to report I’ll never go back. I feel like I’m no longer in prison and everything is so much better. Stuff just works and if I want to do something, I can. So many apps that don’t cost money and better performance. On iOS it felt like everything was a pita and Apple just didn’t give a rats ass. If you’re considering the switch, go for it!

Despite how "polished" iOS "seems", Android does a lot more and has many more features and capabilities than iOS does. And iPhones in general are really just "status" symbols for people who worship brands. I have both a Samsung and an iPhone, and if I had to give one up it would be the iPhone...Also the apps in the Google app store work much better than ones from the Apple app store.

Hi! Why is it always necessary to prove, to oppose, who uses which operating system, why is it constantly fought and or belittled⁉️ Isn't it possible and natural that different operating systems are used and enjoyed, that people have many different variants and different technologies possible? and their qualities and knowledge and experiences are simply shared and helped and discussed? I use both operating systems, I have an iphone and I replaced my galaxy s24 ultra with a new Xperia 1 VI. This technology The world is exciting to explore, experiment, discover! And a lot of people have some big complexes where they're afraid to say what phone they're using, and a lot of people feel like they're being suppressed in this constant fight and competition and mockery of who's the "android fanboy, who's the apple fanboy , what a samsung fan boy”, this is just an unintelligent behavior! Just take joy and pride in learning about different phones and other technologies and then sharing your knowledge and experience! Until about 20 years ago, people didn't really have any choices! This is my description, knowledge and experience, it doesn't have to be suitable for others! Thank you!
