Hi guys! Quick advice, I have to decide soon.

Gift. Girl. Currently has iPhone 14 with Apple Watch SE. Previously had S20 FE.

Doesn’t love iPhone 14, especially small screen at 60Hz and no back button. In some ways preferred Galaxy, although it heated up badly and was a big problem.

On the contrary, she loves Apple Watch. She also has AirPods but they also work on Android so no problem. The Galaxy would not integrate with her MacBook, but I don’t think that’s binding.

For her birthday, I want to get her a phone that has a large 120Hz screen.

Here arises the dilemma: iPhone 14 Pro Max while keeping Apple Watch SE or Galaxy S23 Plus while also buying Galaxy Watch 6? Similar price: 1000 euros or so for both options.

Thank you very much!

    Not as simple! It’s a very complicated situation because I heard her say that she doesn’t like some things in iOS, such as the absence of a way to always go back from the bottom of the interface, the handling of PDFs, the absence of SPAM call alerts, and more. However, I think there are also things she likes about iOS instead. It’s a mess! Ahah Also because iPhone 14 Pro Max is extremely heavy, more uncomfortable than Galaxy S23 Plus. And she doesn’t have huge hands. In addition, there is a risk that the Galaxy Watch will not be on the same level as the Apple Watch

      if you don’t ask her explicitly if she likes Android or iOS better, you’ll always have the chance that you choose wrong, that being said:

      Apple Watch to Galaxy Watch will for sure be a downgrade (from what I heard, I still have Galaxy Watch 4 and never had an Apple Watch personally)

      iPhone 14 to Galaxy S23(+) will be a small upgrade just like iPhone 14 to iPhone 14 Pro (Max)

      if she has small hands why not Galaxy S23 (Base 256GB version for faster storage) or iPhone 14 Pro (120Hz but not as big screen)

        Thank you for your reply. One thing she doesn’t like about iPhone 14 is the small screen. She preferred the 6.5-inch one of S20 FE.

          oh ok I thought only the 60Hz were the problem, well then the Pro Max would be the correct choice (just ignore the regular Pro suggestions in my other comments :))
