Switch to iPhone for better Videos/Photo quality?

I've got a S23+. Contemplating on getting an iPhone 15 or the new 16 just because iPhone takes better videos and photos (can't confirm this).

Should I switch or stick with Samsung? I feel like the photos and videos I take are not that great compared to iPhone shot ones.

... Read moreWhen comparing smartphone cameras, both Samsung and iPhone have made significant strides in recent years. The iPhone 15 and 16 are especially praised for their advanced image processing, low-light performance, and overall color accuracy. iPhones typically showcase vibrant colors and superior stabilization in video recording. However, recent Samsung models, like the S23+, also offer formidable camera features, including impressive zoom capabilities and sophisticated AI enhancements. If you often take photos in challenging lighting conditions, iPhones may provide a more consistent performance. Apple's HDR technology brilliantly balances highlights and shadows, contributing to a more polished look. Additionally, iPhones often deliver a more natural skin tone in portrait shots, which could significantly enhance your personal photography. On the other hand, Samsung's versatility should not be overlooked. If zoom functionality and a broader range of photography styles appeal to you, Samsung remains a strong competitor. Ultimately, your choice should reflect your specific needs and preferences regarding photo and video quality. An in-depth comparison of sample images and videos taken with both devices could further illuminate your decision. Don't forget to consider how you plan to use your photos and videos – whether for social media sharing, professional work, or personal keepsakes can significantly impact which device will serve you best.

I’m actually so done. Why do people think photography is just pointing a phone and clicking? I’ll send a quote like $250 for a full shoot, edits, time, gear and they’ll go, “Oh my friend can do it for $50 with her iPhone.” Okay… then go book your friend and don’t message me?? Like what even.
