Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra is gaining traction among Apple users who became victims of the iPhone lockout issue. The iPhone maker is reportedly working to fix the bug, but the damage may have already happened.

Galaxy S26 Ultra is a true competitor to the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Not just the camera, the performance aspect is also worth looking at. Other alternatives come with letdowns that can’t please Apple users switching to Android.

Some iPhone users have been facing a lockout issue for months, ending up considering the Galaxy S26 Ultra as an alternative. An upcoming iOS 26 release will likely address the issue, but many have already decided to switch.

For context, the iPhone is locked out for users who have used special characters as the passcode. A recent update has damaged the Czech keyboard, which has banned users from entering the complete passcode to unlock iPhone.

Even if they deliver on the fix, I’ll purchase an Android soon because of how much better the cameras are …

Since the complete passcode can’t be typed, the device remains locked. And a locked iPhone is nothing but useless; just receiving calls is allowed. Apple would add the removed characters again to let user unlock iPhone.

Samsung phones are also facing issues; even the Galaxy S26 Ultra isn’t safe. The company has recently addressed the 24-megapixel close-up shots.

When a user’s frustration hits its peak, they just decide to switch sides. Apple’s issue isn’t widespread, but the damage is huge. Galaxy S26 Ultra is succeeding in attracting Apple fans, given its capable camera technology.

“Even if they deliver on the fix, I’ll purchase an Android soon because of how much better the cameras are. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is my top pick at the moment.”
