You started this thread biased:

>It costs 1.5x the price of S22 Ultra which has more features and better HW.

If the “better” hardware (?) is running software not really optimized for it, it’s wasted hardware. It’s spending too many cycles parsing excess code. iPhones, with their optimized code, can run a number of benchmarks faster. You might even be eyeing a more expensive model of iPhone than you would really need. Few who believe themselves to be “power users” actually are.

Moreover, features implemented first are not automatically features implemented best.

> S20 FE 4g

> S22 Ultra

What do these mean, exactly? I’m assuming these are models from…Samsung?

Not saying I don't agree with you but it's tough to give credit to your argument when you don't know the models mentioned.

I have to be familiar with those models to note the OS will have differences OP won’t like and a technically faster clock speed doesn’t automatically translate to a faster phone because Google can’t optimize for a greater variety of processors whereas Apple can optimize for a small handful of processors?

You're missing the point. Google isn't the one that is having the optimization problem. The OEMs making the phones are. I agree with your point that apple and iOS is a better optimized system. Just know that it is more the OEMs fault than Google's for the lack of optimization.

I meant "better hw" by a bigger screen with higher resolution, S-pen, faster charging, etc. Not saying iPhone sucks, if it would suck I wouldn't even think about buying it but I do. Just saying those phones are on par with build quality/hw/sw just very different price tags.

I want to try iPhone because it's something new I have never owned, not because androids are slow etc. They are not, google/Samsung did a lot of progress in the past years.

S20 and S22 are models of Samsung. Samsung Galaxy S 20 Fan Edition and Samsung Galaxy S 22 Ultra.

In my opinion, switching ecosystems purely out of curiosity is a waste of time and money.

I switched from Windows to Mac not out of curiosity, but because I was thoroughly dissatisfied with Windows.

Are you dissatisfied with Android/Samsung?

The ecosystem contains only a charger and that's pretty much it. I don't have everything connected together because my internet is way too slow to use the cloud etc. I don't plan buying Macs or other of their products same with Google/Samsung products.

I am happy with Android but I wonder if I could be even happier with IOS. The only reason I wonder about this is my 2y old phone and very good offers from my work on both phones. I could get 14 Pro for 1000$, fully unlocked.

You need to explore a “try before you buy” strategy. A borrowed iPhone, a second-hand one, perhaps spend a couple hours at an Apple Store exploring one and asking a lot of questions…something.

There are exactly 0 apple stores in my country for some reason. So I have to keep looking for an electronics store with both.

Why both? You’re already familiar with Android. A store isn’t going to let you install benchmark software on two new phones; going to a store would be about figuring out if iOS is acceptable to you.

Yes, but the S22 Ultra is a quite different experience from any other model except the older Note.

You could…maybe…visit two stores? What, specifically, do you need to compare in the exact same time and place?
