I sent the following message to the list and have heard nothing in response. Are my messages even going through to the list? I need information as soon as possible, as I need a working phone, and the problems I'm experiencing with my device are simply too extensive for me to wait it out for another few months.
From: Loreal Lavigna <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2021 7:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Apple IPhone 13 Pro Max VS. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra Importance: High Hello, I've been both an IPhone and Android user respectively over the past ten years - first IPhone from November of 2011 to June of 2013, then again for a brief period from June of 2014 through January of 2015; and Android first from June of 2013 through June of 2014, then January of 2015 through to present day. Most people who have known me during the last few years and even earlier back into the late 2000's with the late Windows Mobile devices will recall I usually am one of the ones who does her research and helps others out with their issues. Now though, it's me who could use a little help. I'm doing some research and don't want to miss anything like I did six years ago. I want to research the differences between the most high-end IPhone 13 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy equivalent, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. Both are 5G capable devices, both come in the storage capacities I'm interested in. Specifically I'm looking at the following: 1. Battery life: In looking at the two devices, I have found several differing writeups on the internet claiming either of the devices is better than the other, but not giving any real specifics from the viewpoint of a user who uses accessibility features such as VoiceOver on IOS and TalkBack on Android. I want to know which of these devices' batteries is more long-lasting with the use of the accessibility features running. If anyone has information about the battery usage without the accessibility features running as well, so much the better. I can make an even better-informed decision at the end of the day. 2. RAM/Processor speed: I'm looking specifically at RAM/processor speed and how fast each device measures up in a truly fair comparison. Which of these devices will ultimately be able to be used and not lag too much both with and/or without the accessibility features running? I've also read differing opinions on this and with each of these devices being named the truly better device. I'd like to see how much of what I've discovered thus far is fact as opposed to fiction as opposed to simple preference and opinion but not based on facts of device performance. 3. Storage: While internal capacity on both devices is equivalent in so far as I can get, I believe, the capacity internally I want on each of these two devices, I don't believe there's too much to compare here since it is my understanding that the slot for the MicroSD Card on the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and going forward is being or has finally truly been done away with. I did do some research and so far have found some differing opinions on this of whether the forthcoming Galaxy S22 Ultra will or will not ultimately have the SD Card slot. Either way, it doesn't make too much a difference to me, as if I can get either of these devices in 512 GB or even better the 1TB internal capacity, then I won't have much need for memory expansion. I already have cloud storage with both Apple and Google, and can access my google cloud storage from Apple if the need should arise and I run out of my ICloud storage (highly unlikely). Six years ago I got what I was told clearly by someone looking to make a sale that the IPhone 5S was the equivalent to the Samsumg Galaxy S5 device in every way, shape, and form. This was proven to be false, as I would later find within three weeks of owning the IPhone 5S, the speed of the device/reaction time was less than half that of the Samsung Galaxy S5. Keep in mind, this was six years ago, and things in both camps have changed significantly since then. I'm with T-Mobile now by default, as Sprint was bought out by them, and eventually everything that hasn't as of yet will be switched completely over to T-Mobile. Ultimately, I'm looking to upgrade my phone for a couple reasons. First, I'm buying my current Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G device outright and will be giving it, temporarily, to my husband who needs a 5G device and has zero trade-in value for his current device, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Ultra. This happened because we weren't given the option for him to opt in and buy his phone outright, and he's now only renting the phone since his leas ended back in February. Second, ever since the buy-out of Sprint by T-Mobile, I've gone through two sets of CIM Cards on both my and my husband's phones, and we're experiencing issues with our current devices, his far worse than mine since his CIM card is a 5G but his phone is not a 5G-capable phone. It is my hope that by upgrading devices that perhaps the issues we're experiencing will become less and less if not cease altogether. Thank you in advance for any information anyone might have.
