In my opinion, having had a play with the S22 Ultra and my 14 Pro side by side, the Samsung's material and build quality just doesn't seem to be on par with the iPhones.
You’re kidding, right? I own an IPhone and found this post disagreeable. The local used market is filled with boogered-up and dented aluminum frame IPhones. They are soft if dropped. Pros are not.
 
Playing with one at Emart in Seoul yesterday, I realized that the 14 Plus is a great phone for grandma, as I have seen it mentioned. Huge but much lighter than the Pro phones. Felt lighter than my 11Pro, even — due to balance.

Negative which turned me off was the 60hz framerate was so noticeable at that larger size. I don’t mind 60hz on a standard 14 so much. But on the plus, the difference is accentuate.
I have 60Hz on my 11” iPad Air and don’t notice a difference from my 13 Pro Max. I think for any grandma, this is an excellent choice.
 
I just got my Iphone 14 Plus today. I am going from an iPhone 11. I’m a retired 70 year old grandma, and honestly I don’t need the latest and greatest..just the latest. I wanted more phone storage, better battery (my battery on my 11 - the second battery yet - was dying a slow death), and I wanted something new and shiny. I don’t feel this is a mistake. At my age, who knows, this may be my last IPhone.

Thank you for sharing. Makes us appreciate the time we have.
