ios 27 has made my 17PM overheat, not put the screen off when quick pressing the power button, and a few freezeups. Can’t speak on the 18, cause it was a hard pass.

I will hand you my S and you tell me how big is the red tint defect as you like to call it, again trying to evade the ongoing issues with the Iphone 18 series by hating on others. Unfortunately for you Samsung and especially the S series haven't had many issues to make you happy, unlike the latest Iphones, people on here just have to go back to the comments from the past few years after the Iphone launch as its all there.. This by any means doesn't mean that the red tint issue is non existent, like I said a million times every OEM is prone to have issues, just some have more than others. Another fact that you can check is to see which OEM releases the most .1 software updates over the past years, this should tell you something.

Wait, are you saying PhoneArena is making false accusations? I can say the same thing about the iPhone 18 bug. This is what you do: you never 'have' the issue until I call you out on it, and then you look stupid and make excuses.

It's just like every time we go back and forth—like when you said you had a feature like live translation on your Google Meet on the S25U at the time, and we went back and forth for an hour, and it was nowhere to be found. Remember that one?

Or remember the S22U battery issue when you were using my ASUS ROG phone charger, and I told someone at work to hide it, and you were all mad because you wanted to BS me saying you never charged your phone at work? Remember that one?

Or how about the best one with that Sony phone overheating? You were BS'ing everyone for six months until I actually grabbed it, and the minute you used the camera app to record, it would close the app due to overheating, and at the same time, the device was crazy hot! Remember that one?

So, I'm sorry, dude. After all of that, and you still came here to deny it all, I have to believe PhoneArena because you are not credible.

You can deflect with other device issues all you want, but it doesn't change the recurring bugs and flaws in recent iPhone models. You label every thing as a defect, like your claims about the S24’s less saturated screen colors as a defect or the S25 Ultra’s overheating—even though the latter features the largest vapor chamber on the market, a solution Apple only adopted after their own thermal disasters with the iPhone 16. If my Samsung device had a genuine display issue, I would acknowledge it, just as I previously did with the Samsung Health battery drain on my S26U, and even my concerns regarding the Fold 8 battery not lasting as much as I expected, also because of the S Health app. I am not an #Isheep; I prefer to hold manufacturers accountable based on facts rather than blind brand loyalty.

I am not deflecting; I am providing facts. Here is further evidence from the same source that reported the iPhone bug: If we are going to rely on this source for information about iPhone bugs, shouldn't we apply the same standard to their reporting on the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s display defects? It seems inconsistent to trust their reporting only when it aligns with our own biases. Multiple articles have highlighted these screen issues, so are we meant to believe they are credible in one instance but incorrect in the other? 👇

P.S. I would choose a temporary software bug over a permanent hardware defect any day of the week. Just my two cents.

You're assuming I'm an Android user, which is a bit ironic given you're accusing others of bias 🤣. I own and use Apple products just fine (on a side note please learn to spell). Also, the AI-generated response you pasted doesn't actually address my argument. It argues that Apple is better at deploying updates, which I've never disputed. What I challenged was the claim that Apple fixes bugs faster than Android manufacturers or that Android manufacturers routinely leave issues unresolved for months while Apple doesn't. That claim can be disproven faster than Trump can make it to a golf course. And lastly, citing Google Project Zero data from 2019 as proof of the current smartphone landscape in 2026 isn't exactly compelling.

"(on a side note please learn to spell)."


Don't hold your breath. I've been battling this imbecile for 3 years. You should've seen his comments before he started using AI to sound less idiotic. Ask the homie Vancetastic how he spells 'haters'. The sh¡t is hilarious & pathetic at the same time. 🤣🤦🏽

Yes i like to shut people down like you go back and read how long it took them to fix the issues thats the point here. True you are a waste of time but i like to see you guys try and just fail over and over again.

You mean like how iPhones have had an overheating issue since the 15? Based on a lot of people on different tech & social media platforms that continues to be an issue with the 18 Pros three years later. And we won't even speak on the current freezing issue they're having. But maybe that will be fixed in 2-3 days like you claim. 😖

I have the 17 Pro Max as well. I have not had the overheating issue, but I’ve noticed some hesitation with unlocking the phone with Face ID and some other small stutters and lags. I am also passing on the 18!
