You may or may not be aware, but we have the ability to report posts. I find that sometimes it is better to report a post when someone is crossing the line, rather than pouring fuel on the fire.

We are phone nerds, not fire benders.

Let's just be neutral hahaha. why can't we all be neutral

You got that right. Also if there are any issues with an iPhone, they're quick to dismiss it and accuse you of trolling.

TBH, I like the note community waaaaay more than apples... bunch of whiney people in their forums...

I left the n9 due to its poor battery life and camera issues which they still have not fixed. The max I have now destroys my n9 in battery life. I don’t even have to think about it my battery will last. It just does. 5-6 hours of sot with the n9 and 10 plus with the max.

Yeah this isn't my experience at all.

I'm just going say this as I'm a iPhone user plus lot of other devices. iPhone great phone to talk ,text, different wallpaper then it ends there. this note series is different animal it's a work horse that does so much you want . this phone is different league of it's own

Indeed! I alternate between iOS and Android a lot and the Note 9 makes me forget I even own an iPhone.

 

[KidAKidB]

There is nothing the Note 9 did other than the spen that the iPhone can't do. Sorry. The Max is a workhorse and it lasts longer with it's great battery life. I had to charge my N9 during the day when I used it hard.

You ignore the fact that the S-Pen adds a TON of functionality.

 

[KidAKidB]

No, because it's not a popular feature and many will not use it.

Up above you stated that there was nothing the Note couldn't do that your iPhone can't. When someone states all the things that the Note can do you write them off. Hmmm

OP have you narrowed down your decision?

Lol. Whatever man. Let the op decide. Since people can’t let others post their experiences without being flamed on here, I’m done.

My mind WAS made up on 512gb Note9 in blue. Now I'd prefer black. What I would REALLY prefer is the 512 model IN STOCK at Best Buy or VZW store. I do NOT like to order a phone not knowing when or if it will arrive at the store. I don't want it delivered to my empty home.

Thing is now I read the Note camera not as good as Note 8. Lots of fuzzy pics. Also read about jerky scrolling like my Note7.

The thing is I can actually BUY a 256gb iPhone without hassel or waiting and it seems to have fewer complaints.

If taking pictures are important to you then buy the apple phone.

You've given a lot of info thanks. Maybe others who have experience will contribute. I hope this info can help many people who are looking at both.

Is there any app for either phone that will give read receipts from corporate email?

The camera is good but the little quirks that some people are having will be ironed out with the next software update. Like the S9/S9+ whenever Samsung plans to release a bunch of software updates it usually delays the next security update. Which is why the Samsung is behind on October update. This is just me speaking on what I've experienced with all the past devices. When there's no big software updates needed then Samsung has been on top of the Security releases.

The outlook app should do that if your work uses exchange or o365 for email.

Still looking. I may make an impulsive decision one day (what I usually do) or I may stall for a sale that inspires me. Could even wait until Black Friday. I will also have to check out the newest iPhone. I like the medium size but not the LCD.
