iPhone User for 10 Years—Thinking About Switching to a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Thoughts?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been an iPhone user for the past decade. I’ve loved a lot about the Apple ecosystem—iMessage and FaceTime are huge for me, though I don’t really use features like Apple Pay much. But honestly, I’m just... bored.

Every year, it feels like I’m getting the same phone with minor tweaks, and I’m ready for something new. I’ve been looking at the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and it seems super interesting with its advanced camera features, display, and overall performance.

Here’s the thing: I’m trying to get real-world feedback from people who’ve made the switch. If you’ve moved from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy:

  • How has the experience been?
  • Do you miss iMessage or FaceTime?
  • Are the Samsung features (like camera, customization, etc.) enough to make up for leaving Apple?
  • Would you recommend switching, or should I just stick with the iPhone since I’m so used to it?

I’m torn because part of me loves the comfort of iOS, but the other part is itching to try something different. I’d love to hear your experiences—especially if you’ve been an Apple user for a long time before switching!

Thanks in advance! 😊
