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?
