Galaxy vs apple now I’m on the other side (2024)

@AshtabS9Ultra I have been following your issues in this S24 upgrade and also interacting with you for years on the forums here.

It is disappointing the problems that have driven you to make these changes but as in life, we all have choices.

A series of events have led to this... your need to upgrade a 6 month old S23U phone... a faulty handset which is unfortunate, and then the way the recycle company operate and unable to supply your old phone back. Then your choices not to wait a month for a replacement and accept a low value cost.

Knowing what you know now and given these choices again i wonder if you would have made these choices differently.

Nonetheless I think the way things have been handled in your case have driven you away from samsung and this is not good. You are exactly the kind of customer that Samsung should be striving to keep and retain !

Now moving to the Apple 🍎 comments... I am very glad that you have found your new preferred phone and supplier and have chosed to join the IOS ecosystem. I have a lot of friends who are avid 'apple through and through' followers.

I have personal reasons why I wouldn't buy another apple product that go back many years, and I am not willing to go through that now... my judgement does also tap into my engineer brain and dislike for the way the IOS ecosystem locks everything down to the high degree and not being able to dabble in areas that a user should be able. I mean heck, going back a few years you couldn't even drag and drop a simple music or video file to an iPhone and everything had to be through iTunes... not sure if this is still the case.

I owned an iPhone 6 many years ago... I tried it... and hated this 2 year period until upgrade...never again.

Thanks for your reviews and glowing reference to all the apple products you have switched to. Unfortunately I think we now have very different opinions.

I own an s23u phone, buds 2 Pro and a galaxy watch 5 Pro and your ratings of awful in each of these are a complete turnaround from your earlier posts over the past couple of years.

I didn't read all your text, as soon as I saw the comments of all the samsung items you have owned happily for the last year, I glossed over the justifications you have given.

Appreciate chatting with you over the years, good luck in your new experiences. Remember the world is big enough for both android and apple.

P.s. samsung have lost a good customer in you, but compounding in their errors, and your poor choices, it has all fallen flat on face. 😢

Best regards
