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!

    At this point, it entirely comes down to OS preference and ecosystem.

    Both the 15 pro max and the s23 ultra have awesome battery life, killer cameras, and great screens.

    The ultra has the pen, and a 10x telephoto, if those things are a big deal.

    I use the galaxy watch 6. I fail to see anything the apple watch can do that it can’t, although the watch ultra is badass looking from a purely aesthetic standpoint.

    Buds 2 pro are excellent.

    Given that she has a whole apple ecosystem, I’d probably go with 15 pro max, although I think the 23 ultra is a slightly better phone overall.
