The iPhone navigation was always such a peeve for me. My brother uses an iPhone and every time he lets me take a look at it out of curiosity, the process of navigating back was so tedious.
I switched to iOS because of my RUclips channel. Wanted a camera that was great and would connect to my Mac easier. (AirDrop is phenomenal) But since I switched to the iPhone 11 Pro i’ve constantly tried to switch back to Android. I miss the customization, back gesture, Google Assistant instead of Siri. I need to get a real camera for my RUclips channel and then I can switch back to Android. Hopefully i’ll be able to save enough for when the Pixel 9 releases (or if the Galaxy S24 gets a huge discount)
Well today Sunday May 10 th in US the 512 GB S24 ULTRA is $1419.99 and they are offering $615 trade in for s22 Ultra and $32.50 for veterans and $120 instant savings. Or $617.49 or $25.73 / mth for 24 mths...my S22 Ultra through Tmobile was $27 and some odd cents....but my credit is bad so since this is a 1 day offer I lose...even though I could pay S22 Ultra remaining $125+ and afford sales tax and payments
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN the problem with me is I use an iPhone 15 and think it’s too big of a phone so switching to something like the ultra is a no-go for me. I would love the regular S24 but it’s too expensive for me right now to buy (I buy unlocked)
@@DENVEROUTDOORMANlol no, with iphones you dont need to get the latest and greatest just to take good videos, even older iphones like the iphone 13pm takes beter videos than s24u
The back gesture is definitely one of my most missed “features” from using Android. I’m about four years in on iPhones and I have gotten used to it, but I still miss the consistent back gesture.
hey sam, just wanted to let you know that the time sensitive notifications has been improved (at least in my experience with reminders), I’ve used reminders for the first time and then when it popped on my lock screen I wanted to test the thing, cuz I know well for a fact time sensitive notifications would disappear after an hour and I remembered your experience about that as well, well at least in the case of using reminders it kept my notifications up top on the locked screen for well over 24 hours, even had to restart my phone and still all good, so reminders is the way to go in my experience at least
Thanks Sam, you just saved me from even trying an Iphone I was planning on buying as a secondary phone, now I see I would loose my mind on that notifications and navigation issues, I prefer to have a secondary Samsung
I was so close to buying the iPhone 15 Pro Max, but getting my sister an iPhone 13 and helping her set it up, was the most frustrating experience of my life, and so, 2 days later I ordered the Samsung S24 Plus instead. I love the iPhone hardware, I really do but all the reasons mentioned, and some others, surely could be overcomed, but am I wasn't willing enough.
I got the 15PM after 8 years on android and it was a bit annoying during a good 8 weeks, I kid you not 😒 6 months later I’ve got an Apple Watch and iPad too, I think I got on pretty well with them 😂
@@Hhhh22222-w Took me clicking continue 3 times and half an hour and smart switch copied even my widgets off of my old S21. So yeah, I'll keep perusing the Samsung garden for a while longer 😭😭
Great video. I have been using iPhone and IOS for a few years now but despite me being very patient, they still have fixed the issues you've mentioned. I might go back to the pixel soon.
This whole list can be sumed up by one phrase. "Give the user the option to...." Apple simply refuses to give its phone owners the control they need to personalize important aspects of the experience. Whether its notifications, home screens, third party app stores, navigation within apps, ect. Apple doesn't want you to have a tailor made experience. They want your phone to look and act like everyone else's. Hard pass
I dropped my s23 ultra for the 15 pro. I absolutely love it. It runs so flawless and the pictures are just amazing. That being said the s23u was an amazing phone but I not once took advantage of all of the customization which it comes to personalizing it to my liking. I hardly took advantage of the great cameras. To each their own though 😊
I switch from a IPhone 12 to a S23 (the small one) and meh, can't wait to go back to IPhone, S23 is laggy as hell, and after a couple of updates, it overheats like crazy using just a couple of minutos and reduced processing power to much, even the IPhone 12 felt so much smoother
what about the battery bro? did you really like the battery life as you belong from s23 ultra can you give me some info about 15 pro"s battery, as I"m planning to get one..
@@nischaljungkarki2954 Honestly both of the batteries are amazing. You couldnt go wrong with either. Lately ive been pushing my iphone 15 and a full day will get me to like 20-30%
Hey Sam great video! I have been an iPhone user for years, as here in the states they are kind of ubiquitous, and I do love my 13 pro. However, I did switch to a Note 8 for awhile though and I will admit the scheduled text messages feature on my old Android is still a feature that I miss to this day!
I like the way, on Android, that all the settings you need for a particular app are in that same app you're using. It seems so counterintuitive on iPhone to have to leave the app, go to General settings, and then adjust additional settings for the app. Shouldn't have to leave an app to adjust it.
I am kinda interested in an iPhone for the first time ever, for the camera and premium hardware. But the back gesture and and notifications are huuuuge turn offs for me that I dont think i can get past
I never use the app library, there's no way that "pull down and search" is slower than swiping and looking for the app in the library or even the second page of the home screen
Universal gesture, custom keyboards (I use the blackberry suretype style keyboard), home screen customization, and notification system. If they can fix those, I would switch to iPhone
Currently using an iPhone 13 and I can’t count the number of events I’ve missed because of awful notifications. I need to either get a Pixel or Samsung because I want to see what Android has been up to for the past 3yrs
A number row option on the keyboard's 1st page would be nice, as well as a comma and period keys, just like in every android. Typing an email or any other type of text that consists of more that a sentence is a struggle on iOS.
10 месяцев назад+1
In fact, there is a clipboard in iOS, just add it via the action button!
One feature I still think is worth mentioning, especially for the "pro models" of the iphone is a pro camera mode. I was on android right up until 2020 and the one thing that irritated me the most about my iphone 12 when compared to my oneplus 5T was the lack of a manual camera mode. This feature missing on my iphone 15 pro max is so irritating and something they could easily implement it at very little cost.
The iPhone does have spam blocker if you go into the settings and look up under the phone settings you will find something called unknown caller if you turn it on your phone will not ring just as long as the phone number is not in your contact
Thanks for the reminder. I was actually considering switching back to Fruit Company just for the wearable experience but I'm really held back from doing so by the OS. I guess OneUI has stolen my heart.
What an amazing video highlighting all thr realtime and day to day problem a user will face when switching to iOs. I have been an Android user since beginning and i love these customization options specially the back feautre and using 3rd party apps. Also the calendar thing is legit helpful. I am gng to switch to iphone Soon cz of a deal I made with my partner and now this video has scared me. 😂
I got way more spam calls on my android phones. Apple iPhone allows you to turn on a setting called silence unknown callers. This means that anybody that’s not in your contacts automatically gets put through to voicemail or if it’s a spam risk if the call is just cut. I never get spam calls on my iPhone, and I used to get them constantly on my android phone. It's actually one of the reasons I switched back to iPhone, to get less spam.
Oh my god, the spam problem is soooo bad on iPhone. It's almost to the point that I want to change phone numbers. How after so many years have they not added some smart spam filtering I will never understand. It was basically non-existent when I was on Android.
A half year ago I got an iPhone for a weekend and first I thought, I'm going crazy because of the not working back gestures... "Ok you simply have to understand the system" until I tried every app and it blew my mind "There is no system behind it. From app to app it's pure random behavior and I have to learn each and every app by heart"
Yeah iOS is a convoluted and inconsistent mess. Seems like they just pile on new useless features every year without ever addressing or fixing the fundamental basics they get so wrong. Users shouldn't have to adapt their workflow for a device. Devices should adapt to our needs.
I am not really a big fan of this phone after owning it for 6 months now. The overhead issue still persists regardless of any updates. Titanium is not the best material for thermal handeling. The phone still glitches every now and then and face id has its hiccups. As for iOS, it's still limited (which is my preferred word to use more than "optimized") and hope iOS 18 offers something better. Anyways, this is my last iPhone before switching to android completely.
iOS issues: 1) Can't sort apps alphabetically 2) Keyboard lag & does not have number row key 3) Notifications is not as good as Android 4) iOS calculator is not as complex as Android's calculator (does not show the calculation only shows the result) 5) Setting alarm does not show how many more hours still alarm rings
That's many times annoying. Sometimes you can't even get out of the app screen unless you choose any of the options provided or switch the app off. Or, they give you that kind of small buttons only which go back gesture would do the job instead 🤔
@@megamastah because it doesn't make sense. i don't open chrome on my laptop then press the back button to head into word. In that scenario there was nothing to go back to. He was in a different section of the app where the back button would work if he actually went somewhere in that section. The universal back is only good because you're used to it.
And I don’t get it because I got way more spam calls on my android phone than I do on my iPhone. I just turn on silence, unknown callers and if they’re not in my contacts, they don’t get through. It’s the easiest spam filter in the world and it’s on the iPhone.
This is a great video, and I agree with all but 1 point. I use both types of phones, and I actually prefer the way my iPhone handles notifications. I remember to swipe up to check. I prefer a clean lockscreen with no widgets. Luckily on one ui I was able to use notistar from good lock to enable a similar swipe up for notifications feature
Also. 1 thing I love on iOS is if you tap the status bar, it scrolls all the way to the top of the page you're on. If anyone knows how to get this on android, let me know
There is no number row in keyboard - there is no close button for all background apps - need itunes to transfer data - slow charging - battery get drain quickly after first year of usage - too expensive - can't change default apps.
Issues 6 and 7 are absolutely deal-breakers. Every new iOS release I hope they rehaul the software completely but they basically haven't touched it since iOS 7.... Also their animation speed is sooo slow.
Great video! The App Library got on my nerves when I switched to the iPhone 15 pro max 6 months ago but the spotlight search is an incredible feature. Just like you, I like having a single clean Home Screen with the apps that I use the most but I must say that once you get used to the spotlight search you’d see that it’s miles easier than any android library. I just start typing the name of the app and press enter, it’s less time consuming then scrolling any app library. Also, to see the apps list you don’t need to press the search bar, just swiping down will make them appear in a list. To go back to Android I’d like to see google get a better chip, more power efficient and with less thermal problems OR for Samsung to drop Exynos for good in Europe because the sharp corners of the ultra isn’t appealing to me (past S22 ultra user).
I really wish iOS would be more one-handed to use. I feel like the back button at the top left of the screen is a really old design, since basically the first ever iPhone. It worked on their 3,5" and 4" screens becasuse those phones were small, even for the time, but now that we have 6,7" screens, like cmon Apple. The swipe from left to right is the most simple, yet the best way to replace the back-button.
For me personally, the final straw on the iPhone was the App Library. The thing is a usability abomination. It would be so bad if it was an optional feature.
sideloading already exist on ios for years. i had to use itunes on windows and set developer settings to my own Apple ID name and shit. it's not as simple as apk on android. but it works, last time i tried was with ios 15 on an ipad
since my sister has the 15 (normal, not pro or pro max) - i had it in my hands a few times. It is a nice phone .. it certainly gives you "insider-points" with the marketing target demographic ... young teenagers and young adults who buy into the Apple marketing. But because it is much harder to customize and "make it your own thing" - for most .. it is a uniform accessory. (pretty much the opposite of what Apple advertised for back then) - There is nothing creative, nothing "your own" about it. If the phone is a tool .. it does not matter what phone you buy. You will be 100% fine with a Note 9 or an iPhone 7 even today. If your phone is meant to be a fashion statement, too ... i would always go for something that i can customize to my hearts content, something that is not the norm, not a uniform accessory. All that is so very different from what you look for though .. you look at tech, specs and such ... things i find quite irrelevant.
I would need spam calls, spam texts and something like assistant voice typing. Oh and what's playing. I am beginning to think that the best way to experience applea and keeping my pixel 8 pro is to get an ipad because after using the galaxy tab s9+ I must much prefer the pad pro.
Hard relate when it comes to the universal back gesture option, it’s been 3 years on ios and the inability to go back to main screen instead of a hamburger menu bugs me😡
Oxygen OS does something similar with the notifications on the lock screen and its frustrating cause i have missed notifications due to them disappearing after unlocking your device.
can you not get a custom notification app? I use spren to manage my notifications. it hasn't been updated since 3 years, and might not exactly be what you were looking for, but I'm sure you'd find some other options
Same problem here the back gestures sometimes I’m just so angry at apple for this everytime i have to close the whole damn app becuz i couldn’t go back
Same here. I hope I could look back as I don't use any of Apple's apps and use all of Google's but Android phones are so buggy and inferior that I can't.
There is no sense to swipe on the left to go on the home tab when you can press home, all those screens leave in the same main tab navigation, or swipe from the left to dismiss sheet presentation, when is full caver presentation it makes sense and I would like to see that on iphone, but there are ton of apps that swipe left do something else, so it is hard to do that just like that from apple side, and as developer we got some kind of warning at least 8 months before so it is not coming 😅
But if it's a universal gesture then you should build around that. That's like saying my car doesn't drive properly because there are road markings. The road markings guide the car, the car doesn't guide the markings. Also swipe from the very edge is the gesture, a few apps I've used use swipe from just before the edge or swipe from the middle to perform an action
@@Policepigeon and as I already said, this is something that is addressed to developers for at least 8-10 month before, like ipad split screen etc, so you can upgrade your app, but this is not happening for know and iOS 18 beta is on the way in few months, maybe 19 if they ever plan to that
There is one change that Apple could do that would put an iPhone even close to my radar when purchasing a phone, which is just allow me to have superuser permissions on my own device (and unlocked bootloader). You can relatively easily get or by default have this on every other relevant OS so why it's not on iOS is baffling to me. All of the things listed in this video, and the dozens of other issues I have with iOS, could be fixed by the community if Apple didn't lock you out of your own device this hard. That's why I love Android, if there's something I don't like, chances are I can change it. Apple treating it as a problem just means I'll forever filter out iPhones when searching for a new device.
Not being able to sideload apps on a iPhone is #1 reason why I'll never use an iPhone period and I'll stick to using Android. Number 2 I don't like using iPhones is no 3.5mm headphone jack because I need to use a dedicated headphone jack for my Zello walkie talkie app. Yes you can use usb-c as a headphone jack connection but I do not trust using usb c for headphones for long term use because not going to take a chance breaking the usb-c port then can not charge the phone.
Guys same as him 6 months later but my back glass broke today it was the first time my phone fell and it fell from my pocket when i was sitting like wtf
Faceid makes up for all those shortcomings by saving you 90% of the time unlocking your screen 100 times a day. I'm a recent iOS user (since iPhone 14 Pro) and unfortunately I see all Android phones as 2nd rate now in terms of both price and quality of software/hardware. Even though I use none of Apple's apps and use all of Google's. I can't help but laugh at all the fundamental issues Android phones are released with.
10:10 well in my case, I hide notification icons on status bar once I discovered the option to do so cause in my opinion, it looks cluttered and I love clean looks when I hide them.
2:51 able does have this in their phone settings for the app specifically. Idk if it is a US thing, but they have a spam blocker and it works pretty well for me.
Finally someone mentions the clipboard. I switched from my Galaxy S8 to the iPhone 15 Pro and couldn't believe that the clipboard wasn't implemented

This is a great video, and I agree with all but 1 point. I use both types of phones, and I actually prefer the way my iPhone handles notifications. I remember to swipe up to check. I prefer a clean lockscreen with no widgets. Luckily on one ui I was able to use notistar from good lock to enable a similar swipe up for notifications feature
Also. 1 thing I love on iOS is if you tap the status bar, it scrolls all the way to the top of the page you're on. If anyone knows how to get this on android, let me know
Dude your production style is top notch 👌 except the ratio 😅
Couple of things I'd add to the list are voice dictation/Siri (both kinda suck) and text/message scheduling.
I love the spam function on the pixel. What about the apple Calender app? Does it have the same problem with notifications
When I had iphone, facetime and imessage never worked right, so I never used them.
There is no number row in keyboard - there is no close button for all background apps - need itunes to transfer data - slow charging - battery get drain quickly after first year of usage - too expensive - can't change default apps.
Issues 6 and 7 are absolutely deal-breakers. Every new iOS release I hope they rehaul the software completely but they basically haven't touched it since iOS 7.... Also their animation speed is sooo slow.
The slow animation is a must to give a smoothness to the eyes. Hence a reason for Iphone fan to say iOS is better than Android.
iPhone has a clipboard. But you can’t do anything about it.
While on Android, the clipboard manager can do a lot.
Great video! The App Library got on my nerves when I switched to the iPhone 15 pro max 6 months ago but the spotlight search is an incredible feature. Just like you, I like having a single clean Home Screen with the apps that I use the most but I must say that once you get used to the spotlight search you’d see that it’s miles easier than any android library. I just start typing the name of the app and press enter, it’s less time consuming then scrolling any app library.
Also, to see the apps list you don’t need to press the search bar, just swiping down will make them appear in a list.
To go back to Android I’d like to see google get a better chip, more power efficient and with less thermal problems OR for Samsung to drop Exynos for good in Europe because the sharp corners of the ultra isn’t appealing to me (past S22 ultra user).
There's also a search option in the app drawer for Android.
They should add a proper file managing system, like Android phones, for me to switch + the notification system of Android
Besides the iPhone do you currently use any other Apple product? Also, I agree with the notifications aspect of what you said.
Yep, MacBook Pro as my main personal computer (not for editing though) and iPad Pro occasionally.
My wife is also an avid iPhone user.
I really wish iOS would be more one-handed to use. I feel like the back button at the top left of the screen is a really old design, since basically the first ever iPhone. It worked on their 3,5" and 4" screens becasuse those phones were small, even for the time, but now that we have 6,7" screens, like cmon Apple. The swipe from left to right is the most simple, yet the best way to replace the back-button.
Gestures came from Palm Pre. They're almost identical.
For me personally, the final straw on the iPhone was the App Library. The thing is a usability abomination. It would be so bad if it was an optional feature.
sideloading already exist on ios for years. i had to use itunes on windows and set developer settings to my own Apple ID name and shit. it's not as simple as apk on android. but it works, last time i tried was with ios 15 on an ipad
The apps become unavailable in 7 days if you don't resign them
ReVanced on iphone would be awesome, but that is a pipe dream because Apple does not want its users to truly own their devices.
since my sister has the 15 (normal, not pro or pro max) - i had it in my hands a few times. It is a nice phone .. it certainly gives you "insider-points" with the marketing target demographic ... young teenagers and young adults who buy into the Apple marketing.
But because it is much harder to customize and "make it your own thing" - for most .. it is a uniform accessory. (pretty much the opposite of what Apple advertised for back then) - There is nothing creative, nothing "your own" about it.
If the phone is a tool .. it does not matter what phone you buy. You will be 100% fine with a Note 9 or an iPhone 7 even today. If your phone is meant to be a fashion statement, too ... i would always go for something that i can customize to my hearts content, something that is not the norm, not a uniform accessory.
All that is so very different from what you look for though .. you look at tech, specs and such ... things i find quite irrelevant.
I would need spam calls, spam texts and something like assistant voice typing. Oh and what's playing. I am beginning to think that the best way to experience applea and keeping my pixel 8 pro is to get an ipad because after using the galaxy tab s9+ I must much prefer the pad pro.
No split screen multitasking is major
Hard relate when it comes to the universal back gesture option, it’s been 3 years on ios and the inability to go back to main screen instead of a hamburger menu bugs me😡
Why can’t apple hire you as a consultant, I would also like iPhone to have an app pop out mode like on Samsung and a secure folder feature.
I don’t think the navigation is the biggest issue. I think the notifications would be the call out. I actually prefer Apple’s navigation
And a proper EQ for sound experience. They only have presets. At least android let you use apps to control sound.
Oxygen OS does something similar with the notifications on the lock screen and its frustrating cause i have missed notifications due to them disappearing after unlocking your device.
can you not get a custom notification app? I use spren to manage my notifications. it hasn't been updated since 3 years, and might not exactly be what you were looking for, but I'm sure you'd find some other options
Same problem here the back gestures sometimes I’m just so angry at apple for this everytime i have to close the whole damn app becuz i couldn’t go back
Switched from android to iOS almost two years ago, after over 5 years of android and never looking back
Same here. I hope I could look back as I don't use any of Apple's apps and use all of Google's but Android phones are so buggy and inferior that I can't.
There is no sense to swipe on the left to go on the home tab when you can press home, all those screens leave in the same main tab navigation, or swipe from the left to dismiss sheet presentation, when is full caver presentation it makes sense and I would like to see that on iphone, but there are ton of apps that swipe left do something else, so it is hard to do that just like that from apple side, and as developer we got some kind of warning at least 8 months before so it is not coming 😅
But if it's a universal gesture then you should build around that. That's like saying my car doesn't drive properly because there are road markings. The road markings guide the car, the car doesn't guide the markings.
Also swipe from the very edge is the gesture, a few apps I've used use swipe from just before the edge or swipe from the middle to perform an action
@@Policepigeon and as I already said, this is something that is addressed to developers for at least 8-10 month before, like ipad split screen etc, so you can upgrade your app, but this is not happening for know and iOS 18 beta is on the way in few months, maybe 19 if they ever plan to that
There is one change that Apple could do that would put an iPhone even close to my radar when purchasing a phone, which is just allow me to have superuser permissions on my own device (and unlocked bootloader). You can relatively easily get or by default have this on every other relevant OS so why it's not on iOS is baffling to me. All of the things listed in this video, and the dozens of other issues I have with iOS, could be fixed by the community if Apple didn't lock you out of your own device this hard. That's why I love Android, if there's something I don't like, chances are I can change it. Apple treating it as a problem just means I'll forever filter out iPhones when searching for a new device.
Not being able to sideload apps on a iPhone is #1 reason why I'll never use an iPhone period and I'll stick to using Android. Number 2 I don't like using iPhones is no 3.5mm headphone jack because I need to use a dedicated headphone jack for my Zello walkie talkie app. Yes you can use usb-c as a headphone jack connection but I do not trust using usb c for headphones for long term use because not going to take a chance breaking the usb-c port then can not charge the phone.
Ok, this is a long shot but can Sam share where he got that Boost for reddit app? I can't use the official app anymore, it is so vexing to use....
The ones that bother me the most are volume for different apps separately and notifications leaving my lockscreen after unlocking my phone lol
I have clipboard on my iPhone 12 mini!
Good video presentation
I’ve had the iPhone 15 Pro Max for the last six months and it runs the same exact way as it did when I bought it six months ago.
Guys same as him 6 months later but my back glass broke today it was the first time my phone fell and it fell from my pocket when i was sitting like wtf
On Android, I hide the RUclips Shorts section completely 😂
Faceid makes up for all those shortcomings by saving you 90% of the time unlocking your screen 100 times a day.
I'm a recent iOS user (since iPhone 14 Pro) and unfortunately I see all Android phones as 2nd rate now in terms of both price and quality of software/hardware. Even though I use none of Apple's apps and use all of Google's. I can't help but laugh at all the fundamental issues Android phones are released with.
The video makes me want to switch back to Android 😂😭
Whats the android mobile model in this video ? 😊
10:10 well in my case, I hide notification icons on status bar once I discovered the option to do so cause in my opinion, it looks cluttered and I love clean looks when I hide them.
That's another reason Android is superior in this regard. You have the option to do either with notifications. Apple doesn't give you a choice.
It's good to have a choice. Sometimes, it's good not to dismiss a notification straight away.
If you kept the older iphones (say the 14 pro) without updating, give jailbreaking a shot. I think there’s a website to see if you can to your device
I'll switch to iPhone when they come with a stylus in the phone and multi-task, and also get rid of the stupid locked app configuration.
Sideloading is not for the USA is for the EU only. That is what the rumors are saying.
2:51 able does have this in their phone settings for the app specifically. Idk if it is a US thing, but they have a spam blocker and it works pretty well for me.
Apple should honestly copy Android's gestures or just add buttons.
