I use an S23 Ultra as my primary phone but do have a 13 pro that work pays for and I’m about to upgrade to the 15 PM. I prefer Android’s more open nature and file system and its photo cameras. However I do like the iPhone’s simplicity. It just works most of the time. Also its video camera is just unparalleled. Videos come out so smooth with no lag or jitter that occasionally appears on my Galaxy video camera. I do have a 13 mini for personal use that I sometimes rotate just to change it around.

I had the Fold 4 and then bought the S23 Ultra. I missed the top camera system, especially the 10x telephoto as photography is my hobby. I didn’t see the bigger screen as a huge advantage and the camera system was good but not amazing. I eventually traded in my Fold 4 for the Flip 5 so I now have a large phone and a small Android phone. The Fold is a great phone but I wasn’t using it to it’s full potential as I didn’t really need the large screen.

Apple support, video recording and something about the lock screen that I like. I don’t choose it over my Galaxy S23 ultra or Flip 5 but it’s up there. My iPhone 13 mini just hits the size sweet spot too. If there was a mini with the pro max camera system that would make it perfect.

They may rob you knowing you got $800 cash to buy the phone

Do you enjoy taking photos? If t yes then the Ultra is a great option. You can do social media on any phone but the Ultra’s advantage is the camera. You can still get the regular S23 or S23+ which is great too.

Have you looked into Apple’s certified refurbished section? They have the 16gb ram model at a cheaper price than a new 8gb model. I’ve purchased a 2019 refurbished iMac and it still works amazing. We’ve purchased refurbished Macs for our company with no problems. They look brand new. We would only from apple if it’s a refurbished purchase.
