Both options for a phone are pretty dang good if you ask me, but personally I would go with the Apple iPhone 13 (Or older/pre-owned) over the android. Overall I feel like the interface is easier to understand and Apple's ease of access to apps and alike is unbeatable. However, this is coming from a 20 year old tech nerd, a completely new OS may be harder to get used to for you (IDK how techy you are).

As I know you take many pictures, I have watched a video and it had declared the Samsung was better, but not by much based on color recreation and sharpness. However, Apple is a formidable opponent and both do amazing.

Even better, if you take tons of pictures or download lots of apps, apple (IMO) has the better storage system, good chance you wont deal with storage insufficiency for a good 1-2 years after first use of the phone.

At the end of the day, both are amazing options so go with what feels best for you. Good luck on your hard decision 👌
