The Galaxy S23 has finally been released to the general public by Samsung, and it is now one of the greatest Android phones that can be purchased particularly the S23 Ultra. But, for those who don’t require all of the fancy bells and whistles, like as the S Pen and the 200MP main camera, the basic S23 is also perfectly powerful for the typical person, particularly if you prefer devices that are smaller in size.
Since a few weeks ago, I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S23, and up to this point, I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with it. I am aware that we are yet in the beginning stages of the year, but the S23’s compact size is just right and quite comfortable for me. Android is also superior to iOS in a great number of respects, including the ability to individually control volume and to get notifications. In spite of the fact that Apple products have significant shortcomings, such as the overprocessing of photos after they have been taken, I continue to rely mostly on my iPhone 14 Pro.
Despite the fact that I enjoy using the Galaxy S23 quite a bit, here are some of the reasons why I continue to use my iPhone 14 Pro.
To get to the top of any iOS app, scroll to the top.
After using an iPhone for the sole purpose of my mobile device for more than a decade, I was forced to break out of my comfort zone and learn Android when I started working at Digital Trends a year ago. The ability to quickly return to the top of the screen in any app is one of my very favorite aspects of the iOS operating system. This is a feature that comes in particularly handy after losing track of time endlessly scrolling through social media.
After scrolling for a number of minutes, I tried to go back to the top of my Instagram or Facebook feed by tapping the top of the status bar. However, I was surprised to find out that Android does not support this kind of feature. In fact, I was shocked to find out that Android does not support this kind of feature. I finally had no choice but to navigate all the way back up to the top, which was a very time-consuming process.
It may seem funny, but pressing the top of the screen to return to the very beginning of the program you’re currently using is a great time saver. I know it seems silly but try it sometime. In addition, it has a really natural and easy-to-understand feel on iOS, which makes me wonder why it isn’t available on Android. It’s possible that Google will think about incorporating it into Android 14 at some point.
The flexibility of software
Since I’ve been using an iPhone ever since I was given the very first one in 2008 as a present, I’ve experienced each and every version of the iOS operating system that is currently available. And the adaptability of the iOS operating system itself is another one of my favorite features, which is why I chose to work with iOS.
Please explain what I mean by this. The smooth scrolling and the “bounce” effect that you see with the scrollbar on the side when you near the end of something are, in a nutshell, what this refers to. Even the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro has some minor but funny small animations whenever it activates as a result of your swiping out of an app like Music, particularly if your flick leans more toward a certain direction.
However, if you are using an Android device, the scrolling will stop all of a sudden as you reach the finish; there is no enjoyable “bounce” to it. Coming from iOS, the transition is actually quite difficult. After years of using iOS, I’ve seen that it’s the seemingly insignificant features, such as elasticity, that contribute to the platform’s general pleasantness of use.
Integration without any hiccups with other Apple products
My very first Apple product was an iPhone, but I’ve since moved on to Macs and now update to the newest versions of the iPad and Apple Watch around once every two years. Since the beginning of this decade, virtually every aspect of my life that involves technology has taken place on an Apple device. I’ve also been working in the field of technology journalism for about the same amount of time, and the seamless integration of the iPhone with the iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch has made both my personal life and my professional life considerably simpler.
Because of my line of work, I’m required to take a significant number of screenshots and photographs. Having the ability to AirDrop my photographs to my iMac after making any necessary modifications enables me to instantly rename them and put them into WordPress without having to navigate to a different location. With my Android phones, I need to take some additional steps, such as hopping into Google Photos, finding the photographs I need, and then downloading them. Although this is still a simple process, it is not as fluid as simply emailing over what I require.
I also enjoy being able to use the Universal Clipboard to copy and paste text, graphics, photos, and even video from one Apple device to another through the use of Handoff. This is something that I simply cannot do when using an Android phone.
These are just some of the most significant examples of how my iPhone readily connects with all of my other Apple products. As a result, it has become an indispensable component of my work process. Again, I am aware that it is feasible to transfer the information that I require from my Android phone to my Mac, but the process is not as smooth as it could be. In addition to this, there are additional benefits that bring everything together, such as iCloud and iMessage.
Making it simple to send and receive messages with iMessage
If we’re going to talk about iMessage, I should tell you that it’s pretty much my go-to method for communicating with all of my friends and family, the vast majority of whom also use iPhones. In addition to having access to iMessage on my iPhone 14 Pro, I also have it installed on both my iPad and my Mac, and all of my communications are kept in sync across all three devices? Thanks to the text message forwarding feature on my iPhone, iMessage also enables me to send SMS messages from my PC, which is another perk I really appreciate.
But, the ability to send video clips in full resolution to other people who use iMessage is the primary attraction for me when it comes to using my iPhone for that service. Before I had my daughter, I was never one to watch videos, but that all changed after she was born. Now, I make it a point to record at least one video of her adorable antics every single day, and I adore showing it to my relatives. I also have the ability to distribute the video to others in full resolution through iMessage without having to do anything further or out of the ordinary.
On the other hand, it is really annoying that if a video is shared with me from someone who has an Android phone (or vice versa), it ends up being extremely compressed and pixelated. This is due to the fact that it was transmitted as an MMS, and in the United States, all of the major carriers impose an arbitrary size restriction on video files that are delivered as MMS messages. If Apple were to adopt Rich Communication Services (RCS), then this problem might, in all likelihood, be overcome; however, that is a whole different issue.
Having said that, considering that the majority of my loved ones and close friends also own an iPhone, having access to iMessage is the most convenient method for me to interact with them. I still hope that there will be a solution to the pixelated video snippets that can be shared with non-iPhone users at some point in the future, but until that time comes, I’ll continue to utilize iMessage.
The iPhone has superior application software.
My experience over the previous decade with iOS has taught me one thing, and that is that, in general, the app selection on iOS is superior to that of Android. A significant number of the application developers that I have followed over the years also create their software just for Apple’s platforms, which includes the Mac. There is something about iOS apps (and Mac apps, for that matter) that have a certain degree of polish and delicacy that you don’t really see on a lot of Android apps. This is because iOS apps have a certain amount of gloss and finesse.
For instance, I used to make use of Tapbots’ Tweetbot while I was actively engaged on Twitter; but, these days I prefer to make use of their Ivory app for Mastodon. Until Elon Musk terminated Tweetbot, it was the only way I could use Twitter, and I have never been able to locate an Android app that offers the same kind of experience as Tweetbot did. The same can be said for Ivory; although there are a number of Mastodon apps available for Android, I find that using Ivory gives me the impression that it is far more polished and user-friendly.
Darkroom, which is one of my favorite photo-editing apps on iOS, is not accessible on Android (there is a counterfeit app available on the Play Store, but it is not the same). Even when using apps that are available for many platforms, such as 1Password, Facebook or Instagram, etc., the iOS version almost always seems to function more smoothly and is in general more enjoyable to use.
Apple isn’t perfect, yet despite its flaws, I still enjoy using it.
Ever since I began to immerse myself in the world of Android devices, I’ve come to the realization that there are unquestionably some domains in which Android is superior, and I understand that this is the case. The notifications really make sense, the volume controls have been streamlined, and there are a lot of fine settings that you can use to fully tailor your overall experience.
However, the iOS from Apple has a lot of tiny complexities built into the software, which is one of the reasons why I still enjoy using it. Even though they are very insignificant, such as the ability to “jump to the top” and “elasticity,” these features contribute to making the software a joy to use. My life is simplified by features like iMessage, and the overall app experience gives the impression of being more polished. Things of this nature do become important when you spend your entire day on a device.
Moreover, many ask
What makes the iPhone superior to the Samsung Galaxy?
An iPhone is a great option to consider if you want a phone that is simple to operate, possesses a camera that takes high-quality pictures, and maintains its charge for a significant amount of time between charges. If you want more personalization options and features with your smartphone, or if you want a bigger screen, then a Samsung smartphone may be more suitable for you than another brand’s model.
Is the S23 the greatest phone currently available?
The Samsung Galaxy S23 is our pick for the finest Android phone overall because it combines superb performance with excellent cameras and some of the longest battery life we’ve seen on a mobile device to date.
Is the iPhone a better option than Samsung?
The durability of iPhones, in comparison to that of Samsung phones, is another significant advantage that the former brand enjoys. Although Samsung now provides four years of major Android upgrades for its flagship and mid-range phones, iPhones can easily last for five to six years. Samsung now offers four years of significant Android updates for its flagship and mid-range phones. Having said that, there is a very significant exception to this rule.
What makes the iPhone better than the Android?
iPhones provide an increased level of protection and discretion.
They secure your personal information by providing a variety of security measures, such as fingerprint or facial recognition authentication. Because of its restricted operating system and platform, the iPhone prevents applications from following your internet activities in any way. Moreover, end-to-end encryption is used for Apple’s iMessage and FaceTime video conversations.
Is the S23 a high-end smartphone?
It is not necessary for you to be concerned because we have produced a list of the best premium flagship smartphones that are now available for purchase in India during the month of March. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the iPhone 14 Pro series, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, and the Xiaomi 13 Pro are among the phones on this list.
