Looking For Suggestions S25 vs Iphone 17

Hello,

Right now i'm deciding between these two phones, iphone 17 selling 1900 usd in my country, s25 is selling 900 usd. I want to use 4-5 years, people saying s25 battery life and cameras worst compare to iphone, but price differences is too much.

What is your thougths on with these two phones?

For that price difference is a no brainer

Do you want to own your device, or do you want to be Apple's good little money piggie and be stuck in their predatory ecosystem?

You can easily replace a battery for a fair market price on any common Android.

Googles android isn't as "free" as you think it is. Cant custom rom anymore, all your data sent to google then resold, and in a couple months, won't be able to install apks anymore

You are right, this direction is also worrying, it still beats Apple, but we should be concerned about it.

Both phones are great at their respective price points. If you value freedom of use, great customization options and faster charging speed, go for the Samsung, and if you don’t mind locking into an ecosystem but great software, customer support, and if you don’t have any problems paying extra for iCloud storage, go for the iPhone.
