Hi guys. After a lifetime with iPhone I am considering switching to Android with Samsung Galaxy taking advantage of Black Friday.

What are the advantages and disadvantages? I would buy S23 Plus. It should cost around €750.

I currently use iCloud to keep my photos, notes, contacts, etc. safe. I do not have Apple Watch, but I have a Mac mini M1.

Is anyone familiar with both systems and can tell me about them in detail? Does this make sense or should I stay on iPhone?

Let’s say iOS is a bit boring, sometimes cumbersome, but I don’t know if the grass is greener on the other side.

Thanks!

    In 2023, both sides are equally competent options. If you live in the US, the iMessage supremacy is real and theres no Android alternative. If you live anywhere else, it makes no difference. All the apps you want are on both iOS and Android. Cameras, battery life, screen resolution … all pretty much the best you can get on both sides (dont let the hardcore fanboys sway you). If you previously use your Mac to answer phone calls and made FaceTime calls, you may miss that continuity between your phone and Mac.

    Just head over to trygalaxy.com on your iPhone to get a feel for the UI.

        WhatsApp

        I mean, I don’t use WhatsApp because it’s owned by Facebook, and I don’t like Facebook or any of their products… I do use Telegram, though.
