Other Iphone 11 pro max or samsung

[Brockyneo]

Hi all I have the note 10 plus but I'm thinking of switching to the iphone 11 pro max as my girlfriend has the 11 pro max and she uses iMessage ect so I was thinking of getting into the whole iphone game lol also thinking of getting the apple watch as I have the galaxy watch

Or would you guys recommend me staying with my note 10 plus or I'm also thinking of the s20 ultra

If you make a switch from Samsung to iPhone it is generally not phone vs phone but OS vs OS and it’s respective ecosystem.

I find the Apple ecosystem much more intuitive and simple to use than others.

The “it just works” phrase still stands even after all these years of Android updates in my opinion.

Thanks I've also heard that apps are just more polished and tend to work better on ios is this true?

Also games are ment to work better and have better graphics dont know if this is true also

I must admit faceid works perfectly compared to the in display fingerprint my note has

Just keep your Note 10, you will miss the note app.

That is true.

Games are also better because of the more advanced SoC (A13). These CPUs are still far ahead of the Snapdragon counterpart.

One other thing to keep in mind is iOS regularly gets updated worldwide and has the best support for older devices.

Yes, this is true and not only that, but most games/apps come to iOS first, before they are released for Android. iOS > Android

Thanks guys does the iphone support a better dongle for headphones one with a built in dac? As I've also heard that the lightning port is limited compared to usb c?

Just check apple pay supports alot more banks then samsung so at least I'd be able to use that lol

Samsung technically supports more because of it's magnetic strip technology that works literally anywhere even if there isn't a chip reader.

Well, you're asking a rather biased audience, of course, but given the ecosystem benefits once you get more than one device, and the fact that your SO has an iOS device, my recommendation would be going with the latest iPhone offering (airdop between devices is also really slick).

But, I'm hardly objective on the matter.

You should just buy the 11 Pro Max and take advantage of the 14 day return window. No one can determine what works best for you. For every 100 people who say iOS is better, 100 different people will say Android is superior. This thread will devolve into yet another OS war shortly, haha.

And half of those people are wrong.

But, yes, in general I'm a big fan of the 'try it out' model, especially when it comes to things like size, form factor, performance, etc. But, to be fair, 14 days may not be quite enough time to experience the deeper strengths of iOS/iCloud/AppleWatch/MacOS/etc integration, so, keep that in mind.

Really it's all about the ecosystem. Anything you've bought on Android, it will need to be repurchased with iOS. It is an expensive transition if you need a lot of storage space and intend to get an Apple watch.

I do understand the desire for iMessage. My husband uses an iPhone. I keep an iPhone and Android pretty much at all times.

I've got the Pro Max. I like it aside from the first one being so yellow without True Tone it distorted other colors and the second one still required me to play with color filters to get it to an acceptable white point. Screen lottery, I wasn't going to keep playing it but the Demo models were pretty much perfect in the Apple store. No doubt cherry picked.

It's up to you, the cost of devices these days are getting pretty close for the top tiers. Now, one other question is if you want 5G. If so, the S20 Ultra comes in a 5G variant right? I believe the iPhone this year will also have this feature. So this is also something to consider.

 

[Brockyneo]

Thanks everyone think I may just hold off for now and see what the latest note and iphone bring then go from there but I do like what apple have done in the last couple of years where I feel in the android world some of it is getting kind of gimmicky

Here it's the eco system with my mac/ipad, and all family have iPhones. Also service, Samsung is a nightmare to deal with if you have a problem.

Hey!!!

I started using iPhone when they released the iPhone 4 before that I was all in Nokia.

After iPhone 4 jumped to Blackberrys and I stayed with them till 2017, from there I jumped to Samsung S8 Plus, S9 Plus and the S10 Plus.

I got myself the iPhone 11 Pro Max last year. Never been happier ?
Many said I downgraded but in all honesty I feel 11 Pro Max built better, the weight just feels right in my hand and device functions exceptionally well.

I've been a MacBook Pro user since 2007 it was easy for me knowing my device and laptop are just made for each other.

I never had a faulty blackberry or Samsung device and funny enough my first iPhone 4 still functions well today.

Android is good and paired with Samsung specially note range is even better but I feel Samsung throws in all magic tricks but perfects only a few. I never used features like reverse wireless charging since day one.
Apps are ok with android but with iOS, they are more fluid and snappier.
iOS you get updates on time, with Samsung you either get it with your carrier or if you are like me living in the unlocked countries it still takes time.
You will definitely miss the stylus and how you can take screen shots and edit them on the fly. Besides that you will be glad you made the switch.

Everyone in my family uses iPhones, I was the last one to get on board.



TL;DR Samsung user switch to 11 pro max and not looking back!

I know I'm so tempted I also like the way apple update all there devices with the latest ios and I'm thinking is the 100x zoom and refresh rate really a big thing ?

If I'm honest I dont use at least 60 percent of my notes features as it is lol

That’s why I always get insurance.

Apple usually releases a new feature when they know it will work, like the 120hz refresh rate only works with 1080p with the Samsung S20 Ultra. There are talking that Samsung may release an update to allow 120hz refresh rate across all resolutions, if this is true the update could take a long time.

Apparently Samsung are working on the update now and it will take 1 - 3 months for 120hz to work across all resolutions - that's what I read anyway.

with Samsungs track record it could take longer or may be they could pull this off and release it earlier!

 

[waquzy]

Samsung displays are the best IMO, they should release a 5” phone with infinity display.
