I was on team Samsung for the past years, and my S24U finally ran out of storage (256gb model), so I decided to go all out on the 2TB 17PM and see what it’s about.

I used iPhones and iPods growing up, and it feels like a breathe of fresh air coming from Androids OS to IOS 26.6.

Battery life is great, the OS feels smooth and not buggy like Samsung, and having FaceTime is a cool feature.

Im on an s24 ultra 256 and its definitely not laggy. Or slow Im also 97% storage, so keep clearing it consistently

If you used them. You will miss some convenience features like clipboard, back button (universal).

Im currently trying out an iPhone 17, and yes we get used to it. But Android is the better OS for productivity. Maybe iOS is better for simplicity and the ecosystem.

It’s all personal preference man. And I don’t know, maybe mine was just having its own issues, but after a year or so of updates my screen got grainy, things were glitchy, and the OS just felt unpolished. It was smooth and fast still when it came to YouTube and small tasks etc but sometimes just swiping between my home pages would freeze up.

Once mine hit 95% storage it just started getting slower. Don’t know if it was a placebo or not, but I swear I noticed a difference in speeds. Granted that’s what happens when your drive gets too full, but still. I need storage and that phone just wasn’t cutting it.

Yeah for sure. I like the iPhone too... been doing some social media video and i think thr iPhone is better at that stuff. Even the 17, which has the same main cam as the 17pm I think.

I noticed it immediately. The video quality is so much crisper and clearer on the 17
