Whose battery, processor and camera is better ? I can’t make a decision in between these phones I need some help. I don’t play any games on my phone I mostly use social media apps like instagram to watch reels, I don’t do any heavy stuff use it for chatting and insta mostly, I’ve heard meta apps drain more battery but idk. So which one should I choose ?

    If you want very simple, then get the 13. If you want a phone that feels like it is yours, then get the S23.

    I have the 13PM and an S23U. I don’t turn on my iPhone anymore. I feel like I’m using Apple’s phone. And I’ve owned a lot of iPhones.

    I feel Samsung has better cameras.

    I’m not that kind of person who has a MacBook and AirPods, I use a window laptop and jbl earbuds

    just go for the S23 then it is a much better phone and you have no obligation to pick iPhone 13.
    iPhone is a much outdated phone and both have comparable battery drain but S23 will charge faster.

    Use the iPhone if you want a long lifespan phone with consistency or get the s23 if you want more customizable software

    Samsung all day long. My girlfriend has an iPhone 13 and I have an S23, huge difference in terms of screen (the 120hz are necessary in 2023 imo) and the telephoto is great to have. The iPhone is a good phone, but it doesn’t have little things that when you add them up, it really makes it a no go for me. The stupid lightning cable, the poor interconnectivity between windows and apple, the S23 has Dex (I don’t use it all day long, but it’s really good to have in case you need it) and in terms of battery life they are almost the same. I don’t think there’s one reason to choose the iPhone over the Samsung, except the ecosystem but if you are not into that go for the Samsung.

    I had an iPhone 13 Pro Max, got bored of it and went to an S23 Ultra. I have now sold that and gone back to an iPhone 15 Pro Max.

    I prefer the iPhone and find the battery life to be superior.

    For me, my needs in a phone are quite simple. The Galaxy S pen for example is a great little device and I can understand why a lot of people would make great use of it, but for me I just don’t end up using it in daily use.

    One thing I will say is that the Galaxy is far superior at photography than all of the latest iPhones, so if that’s important to you go for the Galaxy.

    This ain’t a fair fight. S23 is much better than the iPhone 13, 14 or 15. The s23 compares to the pro model, not the base model. My gf has the iPhone 13 and the camera vs the s23 ain’t even close.

    i switched from 11 and i was between 13 mini and s23. i was bored of ios and got the samsung instead. screen and quality of life features of s23 are amazing. camera wise i am not so satisfied, on some scenarios i even prefer my iphone 11. when i use social media apps and scroll, quite often i see stutters and hickups, especially on reddit. 120hz enabled. iphone will be smoother overall, but i would never give up my s23 except for s24. i can’t explain why but i freaking love my s23. all i can say is yolo, get the samsung, experience it and if you don’t like it switch to iphone or whatever you want, it’s just a phone and they all get shit done.

      I don’t believe that you have stuttering on the S23 while I have an A53 with a worse processor that never stutters.

      It’s just not realistic.

      Those big benchmark wins from Apple never seem to translate into real world performance advantages. Especially not in common apps like Instagram and Chrome and YouTube or whatever. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 trades blows with even the iPhone 15 Pro in real world stuff.
