I've been an Apple user since the 1980s. Trust me when I say this. Do NOT under any circumstances store your media on Apple iCloud. Store YOUR media on a third-party cloud storage. If you don't this, it will make it nearly impossible to leave the walled garden without much pain or leaving YOUR media.
Android has the same feature as Apple iMessage. It's called the RCS message protocol. With the RCS message protocol, you can get the same features as Apple's iMessage, including typing indicators and the ability to send photos and videos over Wi-Fi and mobile data. With the upcoming iOS 18, Apple is going to adopt the RCS message protocol.
I'm not trying to defend iCloud or anything, but it's not hard to download your stuff from any cloud, and transfer it back out to another storage device of your choice. The real problem is if you use Apple's proprietary software and apps. For example, I had a harder time copy and pasting out stuff from Notes and Keynote.
The only Reason i agree with is the UI Design and Fluidity. The Build quality of Flagship Androids is on par with new iPhones. iMessage is an US only problem. Images get sent over Wifi via Whatsapp to Androids too.
I agree with what you're saying. Build quality was my last point for a reason because there are some really good flagship androids out there. Also I did point out in my video that iMessage is a problem only here in the US because of the huge market share here. Nobody really uses other messaging apps 😕
I didn’t know Whatsapp compresses pics/videos. I guess my point still stands :) if I didn’t share a lot of pictures with family then it wouldn’t be a big deal.
That's cute. I have 45 reasons why iOS is 10 years behind Android in features, usability and utility: 1. Notifications. There isn't even a comparison. iOS notifications are horrendous, even Android notifications from 2012 are better than today's iOS notifications. 2. Apps. This is one of the biggest iOS flaws. App Store don't have variety of Apps, therefore, lots of relevant and quality apps are missing. When I switched to iOS, I missed about 20 essential apps that I used every week, and I couldn't find any alternative for them on the Apple Store, even in paid apps. For example, something so trivial like a MUSIC PLAYER APP, there's not ONE in iOS that is at least comparable with PowerAmp on Android, even in paid apps. 4. No real file manager. Unbelievable. This totally spoils the usage of the OS in so many ways. 3. No always-On Screen. iOS don't have this in 2023 while Android had it for so many years. 5. The iOS keyboard sucks, while Android's Gboard is actually pretty good. You can install third party keyboards on iOS, but the keyboad will still be almost equally bad because Apple forces third party keyboards to use the Apple's API. 6. Siri sucks so much. Google Assistant is extremely good, I'd say it's 10 years ahead of Siri. 7. Selecting text is really dumb and slow on iOS compared to Android. 8. No Sideloading apps. 9. Extremely poor customization and no third party launchers. 10. No system-wide adblocker. 11. No real browser like Kiwi on Android, that let's you install any desktop browser extensions. Safari is a joke, and again, Apple don't let you install a third party browser to surpass this issue, because all iOS browsers on App Store use Safari's API, so in reality no matter which browser you use, you are always running Safari. The exact same problem happens with third party keyboard, as I explained. 12. No possibility to set default apps. 13. No real and interactive widgets. It's true that iOS finally implemented widgets after 13 years that Android had it (lol) but it still doesn't come close to Android's widget, as iOS widgets aren't really interactive. 14. No universal back gesture. 15. No split screen/multitasking. 16. Can't change volume independently for alarm, media, notifications, etc. 17. No fingerprint scanner. 18. No call recording. 19. No usb stick/hard disk support through OTG. 20. No direct face unlock without swiping. 21. No file transfer to PC. I can't stand that iTunes bullshit. 22. No Picture in Picture feature/floating apps like Google Maps does on Android. 23. No console emulators. 24. No possibility to installing custom roms. 25. No possibility to download torrents. 26. No possibility to change size of all the text on the system. 27. No native OGG and FLAC support. 28. Still uses lightning port. Edit: they finally implemented USB-C in 2023 because they were forced to (europe regulations), but the speed is the same as the old lightning port (lol), so not on par with the average Android USB-C. 29. No MHL (mirror phone to monitor/TV). 30. No desktop mode like some Androids have, for example Samsung DeX and Motorola Ready. 31. No quick disable auto brightness 32. Correcting words is a nightmare because the cursor only goes to beginning or end of words, not where you touch it like on Android. 33. Phone dialer app is a joke. No cursor, if you accidently press a wrong number, you have to backspace the whole thing and redo again, and the same goes for the calculator app. And no T9 dialing. 34. No pause in video recording. 35. No battery saver (low power mode on iOS is a gimmick). On Android the power saver would drastically extend the battery life. 36. if an app is malfunctioning, you will have to uninstall and reinstall, while on Android you could just clear cache/data 37. No option to use navigation buttons 38. if an app crashes, it will just close or freeze abruptly with no notification whatsoever, while on Android it will give you a notification that the app has stopped working and give you options to force close or to wait. 39. No Clipboard feature 40. Totally unintuitive way to change app settings. Most apps settings can't be accessed directly from the app, you have to leave the app, open phone settings, look for the app, then locate the app settings. The same goes for the camera app, no menu inside the camera app. Also no pro mode for the camera. 41. No pin to screen feature 42. Photo management is terrible, for example, Whatsapp photos get saved in the camera roll. Wtf? 43. Still no easy native way to add custom ringtones. Laughable. 44. No scrolling screeshots 45. No option to change animation speed, which decreases speed, or at the very least, decreases the perceptibility of speed. Of course there are a lot of other small things and details that I don't recall right now or don't know, but I won't extend further. It's over for applefags.
The biggest advantage with Android is that you can buy devices according to your financial condition and all devices will have a value for money advantage..
Many of your points are simply not true, while others are completely dumb. You are saying that there is no files app, even though there is one. You are saying that iPhones don't have always on displays, which is also not true. You are saying picture in picture is not a thing, even though it is. "but the speed is the same as the old lightning" my iPhone 15 pros transfer speed of 10 Gbps is faster than most androids, including samsungs flagships. You are also saying you can't clear the cache when an app stops working..... Firstly apps crash extremely rarely unlike on android where it happens every single day, secondly you can easily clear the cache of an app in the apps settings. Most of your points are also non issues. For most of your points there is a counter point to android. Also, what does a feature of a third party app have to do with the iPhones photo management? What a braindead list

I have always been an Android user. Just a month ago I bought my first iPhone to try out. The 15 pro. This video perfectly sums up my experience. There's lots that feels a little clunky with apple. The keyboard is the worst part of the iphone. I do however, like the amount of work apple puts in to make a seamless experience. It does seem to flow more, and apps just integrate with each other. I'm still unsure if i'll stick with it, or get myself a 2024 android.
I just miss the back button so much and i miss the hole punch. And I don’t like that if you owe subscriptions money Apple won’t let you download any free apps. And if they don’t accept your card you’ll also have issues. On Android they could care less lol.
@@kevaughngolding9156I went back to the Android, and sold the 15 Pro. Apple makes a fine product, no doubt, but the Android is just something I feel a lot better using.
@kevaughngolding9156 Metro by t-mobile has a deal on the Samsung S23 fe that if you switch over your number, it's only $49.99!!! So I'm gonna go with my partner, and we're gonna upgrade. But yeah, after dealing with Apple's lies,greed,and bs, I'm absolutely done with them and will be selling all Apple items. It's hard to sell my tablet that I begged my mom for it was the iPad 6th Gen that I got on my birthday, so it holds sentimental value to me.

I used to be passionately team android. I made a deal with one my best friends who happened to like iPhones just as much I did Androids. The next phone I'd buy would be an iPhone and then I'd tell him why I didn't like it when I switched back to Android. This was in 2017 and I am now still using an iPhone, so technically I still haven't had to tell him he was right.
@@DisrespectTheRespect S23 is good but the iPhone is for long life users, the s23 will be forget as the s22 and s21 and s20, because samsung batteries and build quality is not just as good as the iphone doesn't last long
@@AlexisPunch not true, actually, old Samsung flagships have great resale value. Like I'm using the s22 ultra and I don't plan on switching till maybe the s25 or 26
@@delroyopondowhy is the s22 ultra selling for almost the same as an 11 pro max if it has great resell value? S22 ultra sells for slightly more used despite it being a newer phone and also a more expensive msrp.
Long time Android use here who has been using the iPhone 13 for 6 months. The ui is inconsistent. Navigation within the system and apps is easier with Android navigation gestures. Cameras are about the same. Battery life is similar with the s23 series. One thing I can tell you is that my s23 gets better reception than any of our iPhones. That alone will keep me on Android.
I also noticed this. I have a S22 ultra and also an iPhone both me and my wife and the reception on the S22 ultra is always better. We travel a lot in places with low signal and most of the time where the iPhone doesn't have signal, the S22 ultra does.
I have s22 ultra and at work my phone barely can send out text or make calls the Wi-Fi is crap and when I turn it off it says searching get on my 14 plus no issues .I am a iPhone user I prefer my iPhone over android any day and my children most people I know have iPhones my 3 brothers are android users personal preference.
I’ve seen your video pop up on my recommendations for a while now. I’ve been on iOS for three years about to be four years in March consistently, I will be getting the iPhone 15 Pro Max very soon, but I also will be picking up a Google Pixel 8 Pro as well in the near future. I can’t find a phone or operating system that makes me want to commit wholeheartedly, so I just go back-and-forth between Android and iOS but now I’m just gonna use Android and iOS simultaneously.
There's only one major flaw to your comparison and that's regarding the software support. Apple is still years ahead of any android brand when it comes to delivering regular updates that actually solves minor issues, unlike its android counterparts. Even though, for example purposes only, Samsung delivers 4 android updates + 5 year security patches, with their flagship lineups, most often than not, those patches don't solve a single thing. Starting from galaxy s3, I've had almost every single Samsung S series and Note series phone, and let me tell you, camera focus issue on Samsung phones was always there, even back in the day. They still haven't find a way to fix it or, they choose not to do so. S21ultra had it, s22ultra as well and even s23ultra. Every single one of those phones could not provide you with a constantly decent photos/ videos of a moving subject. Sure, they can get the job done, but you will have to work for it, more often than you would want. Every year, after a few months after launching their new flagship series, Samsung issues a patch which was, supposedly, going to fix the camera issues. But, it never does. Than you spend time waiting for another patch and the cycle goes on. Soon enough, new flagship phones are set to launch and the older gen gets forgotten. They still keep pushing updates, patches, but no one cares now, there's a new kid on the block. Iphone, on the other hand, gets the job done almost every single time. Sure, some hickups occure when you rush a new product, but they don't ignore it. They promptly issue a patch that fixes the problem. Not having to delete tons of blurry photos (or unusable videos) every time I wanna capture my toddler running around the house, goofing around is a huge difference and a headache remover, at least in my book.
The S24 and Google Pixels are getting 7 years of updates. Also there are unlocked bootloaders and custom ROMs that effectively give your Android phone unlimited support
Totally true i have a Tab S9 ultra im still on the July security update Since Apple released the update 1 week later they released another update with the same iOS version 17.6.1 but with different build number The iPhone feels extremely fast and smoother than the first iOS 17.6.1 September 16 when my iPhone 14 Pro Max arrived by ups Buy the time I received the iPhone at home I received a notification in my old iPhone saying that Apple just released iOS 16.0.1 emergency update to fix issues for users that was unable to restore from backup True love & respect for Apple
I’ve used both… I started using Android when the original Note debuted. Apple was the 1st smart phone tho, so up until that point I was using an iPhone and was into Jailbreaking and all that jazz once that all started to be popular. Once I started using Android’s I got into rooting and swapping ROMs and all that too!! Im wanting to use Android because I really would like to use a Z Fold 5… my last Android phone was the Note 20 Ultra… I LOVED that phone ! Even got a Tab S7+ to go along with it!! But… ended up selling it all and going back to Apple. Everything just works better and flows more fluently IMO!! There’s always a honeymoon phase when I’ve tried switching back to Android. I’m in a lot group txt threads and the experience was HORRIBLE with that! Along with limited media files that you were allowed to send through txt 😢 I don’t understand why Android users get so upset with Apple users 😅 I’ve literally used BOTH to their FULLEST and have concluded that Apple suits me the most… to each their own 🤷♂️
After 12 years with android i switched to apple last week. Everything works fine and smooth. Happy customer so far. Switched from a OnePlus 8t to a 15 pro max
I have been an ultra / note user for years. My whole life basically. I too switched to iPhone 15 and I’m in love with it ! I find my self staring at my phone for no reason. It’s stunning. I never felt this for my ultra
@@Gerardo96-f6cso switching to iphone isnt as terrible as everyone else is making it out to be? i have an old android phone and want to switch to an iphone but everyone tells me its gonna be awful
@@meshofesha7789 how old is your android ? I had an s23 ultra and when I switched I was able to transfer all my photos, videos, contacts, messages, in like 10 minutes using the “move to IOS app” . And I had no problem at all moving my stuff over. What did take me a bit was setting up an Apple ID and all those steps because I was a true new user to iPhone . I have a friend who had a Samsung A50 and he was also able to transfer everything in minutes. As long as your android doesn’t crash it’ll be fast and easy. If you buy your iPhone at your carrier store however , they will transfer everything for you even faster . Making it even easier on you. I only did it my self because I purchase straight from Apple/samsung . But if you go in person it’ll be easier
@@meshofesha7789 but yea it’s not as bad as people say . I’m not saying no one has EVER had issues cause I’m sure they have . Just like there’s issues moving from IOS to android . But it seems like nowadays people hate on Apple to a new level . People who have never had iPhones before are always the ones who have the most to say 😂
Switched to iphone this week from my samsung galaxy s10 plus and i hate it... 1. To transfer files and whatsapp was a heavy work. Took me hours and intensive research 2. No option to pause video recording 3. No call recording 4. Very hard to download pdf files. Instead of just getting downloaded, it opens in a new tab and then u have to share it, save it etc 5. Even the calculator is very basic,. In android, u can see the calculatioms u done just in the screen itself, but in ios the app is like an old one we used 20 yra ago 6. No numbers on the keypad 7. Even if we switch to numerical keyboard from alphabets, the most frequent symbols like *, +, #, etc are on the second page of symbols.. These are the things that got to my nerves just in 3 days.
What I don’t get: Every person is ready to install every social media garbage app but nobody wants a single app to receive pictures of the children? The people in the us are strange.
Buying an iPhone is like moving into a fully furnished house - just bring your towels and toothbrush, and you’re all set. I appreciate this video detailing how Apple’s interfaces are meticulously designed, sparing users from the hassle of customization. Personally, I don’t require much from my phone and lack the time to tweak every setting for each app. I agree that the iMessage and app optimization are selling points. The iPhone’s popularity in America stems from its plug-and-play simplicity - it’s ready to use without a manual. As a college student, my iPhone serves more than just communication; it’s a multi tool for saving notes, managing tasks, recording lectures, and scanning documents . Plus, iCloud storage ensures seamless access to my media across all devices. After over 10 years of using the iPhone, I am satisfied with the phone’s performance.
I tried so so hard to love ios, 2 years. I cant anymore. Maybe once I'm older and i don't enjoy tinkering and having what i want, and not what someone tells me im going to have, but im def going back to samsung later this month.
Same with me I still have my 13 pro max but I just bought a z fold 5 and I’m in love with it, I missed having the amount of freedom androids have to offer also I customized my screen and apps in such a way I was happy to do and it looks cool now

I was thinking going to Android as I see some cool developments and cost, but had the same reasons as you gave for not doing that. I am afraid ultimately Android has too many services continuity limitations and you require too much tinkering to find alternatives. As I get older, I value service functionality, ease of use, and overall integration, which Apple simply does best. Only if the cost could be cheaper that would be ideal, because one thing I really hate is that the cheaper devices from Apple lack just 1-2 features that I always find important and they put them in Pro models...
13 year android user year...I'm switching to iPhone..Android is too glitchy...have the pixel and I'm over it...90% of my friends and family have iPhone...so imessage and FaceTime is a big reason too. iPhone build and OS is just rock solid
@anon2414 You are right! But on the IPhone went through some bugs and glitches like the camera app just black out on me when I opened. IIOS design language is something questionable.
and android isnt? I can think of 20 glitches per day on android (granted had it 2 years ago so not latest experience). Overall, Android as OS is way more questionable than IOS @@miko-ee
I really wish Apple just went all the way with iOS. It's great overall and looks and feels nice, but navigating it can be super counter-intuitive. Why do I have to go to the settings app for almost every little thing, while on Android settings are always accessible from within the apps themselves? For an OS that claims to be intuitive, that sure as hell isn't. Same goes for the back gesture on iOS, or the lack thereof. In some apps it's a swipe from the left, in some it's a button on the top left, and in some instances you have to swipe down...often it's different even within the same app depending on which menu you're in. That's just not a good thing to do
I agree on the gesture control, sometimes its weird but in 90% of the time its not an issue. As for the settings, I actually prefer that. I think it brings order to the chaos of settings as most apps follow unified approach to the settings. You always know what you can do to an app in the settings menu vs in-app settings. Also, most apps still allow for in-app tweaking, its just for major bits that relate to data tracking and some phone hardware control that you must go to the settings menu on IOS. This actually does make sense as it allows for easier privacy control and overview of your settings per app. Of course, if you do not use IOS often it can be hella frustrating for a few months till you get used to it :D @@leDespicable
Canadian here and Windows Phone fanboy who switched to Andriod; I use iOS at work. I have friends and family on iOS however rarely use iMessage, but use WhatsApp and WeChat regularly instead. The iOS smooth animations of opening and closing apps etc. was a copy from Windows Phone since iOS 7 back in 2013. Only on Windows Phone and Android can you plug your phone into a computer and drag and drop MP3s, JPGs, etc. hassle free.
This is the first one of your videos I’ve seen. As a new subscriber to your channel, I’ll definitely be back often because you’ve got some of the highest production values I’ve seen on the YT platform. The intro to this video was truly next level. Really nicely done content!
Every daily use takes 2-3 extra steps. Even typing this message I don't need to change the screen. Apple is frustrating to try to use or learn to use 🤷🏼♂️
Love both system. Only IMHO * * * Android + flexibility and accessibility: ++ file system ++ USB C ++ quick charge ++ AOD ++ split screen ++ multitasking ++ swipe back + Google Assistant But, Android - instability: -- notification (live own life) -- freezing -- bugs (for example - spell checker works and don't works) -- support (upgrade) - apps has weaker functionality and performance * * *iPhone - conservatism: -- close ecosystem -- technologies adopts slowly (USB C, AOD, Quick Charge) -- weaker customization -- truncated multitasking - higher price But, iPhone + stability and reliability: ++ software works properly (notifications, reminders, home kit) ++ quality of hardware (speakers, display, camera) ++ long time support (updates) ++ higher quality of soft + ecosystem: ++ Phone, Watch, Pad, Laptop, PC, Headphone etc. has unity and works like one whole system ++ synchronization ++backups + accessories (whole industry) + liquidity (retain price, easy to trade) With Android you feel freedom but can't fully rely on your device. You can do more, but need more efforts and attention to set up, adjust, customize, fix, check etc. ) With iPhone you feel cramped but can rely on your device. You can do less, but, with this, need less efforts and attention. It's really just work. After some time I catch Apple's philosophy: Begin with simplicity. Do less to achieve more. First things first. For example: I shoveled tons of productivity apps (Todoist, TickTick, Any Do, Craft, Notion etc.etc.) but returned to where I've started Apple Notes and Reminders: simple, less functional, has some inconvenient, but in real life situations - when you need to do things done it's just works from scratch, without any adjustments, learning curves etc. I achieved more with this simple apps, than with tens hours of Notion tutorials )) Wish the bets for everyone )Show less
I had Android before for a long time then switched to Apple it’s been 5 years now I want to go back bc this shit is limited for the things I’ve been trying to do! 😂
A long term android user. I am going to upgrade to the iPhone 16 pro max. My s24u ultra developed a SIM card issue and heating at times. Not to mention the battery drain. I then decided to order the pixel XL 9. Big mistake this phone gets hot when downloading apps. If you in the sun it gets heated up quickly. Not to mention it has low cellphones coverage and wireless very little customisations options. The pixel just ended up exhausting me which lead me to get back to my apple iPhone 13 pro max. It just works and I don't need picture as me feature gimmicks I need basic stuff to just work. That is cellphone and wireless coverage, good battery life, no heating issues.
These switching smartphone videos are now just a way of getting people's attention otherwise they're based on biased opinions and doesn't help much in regards to helping people decide which brand is better as such i think its better for people to try these products on their own and make their own assessment
Living outside of the US I can't understand many of those iPhone advantages. Nobody uses iMessage and the default way of communication and video sharing is through Watts App. The only weakness of Android usage of Watts App is if I use the in-app camera functionality instead of the device camera app and then attaching the video. Downloading and uploading files to the PC is better with Android device because the phone just looks like external USB drive when connected. Finally, the elephant in the room is the price. Buying iPhones outside the US is even more expensive then in the US and buying the basest Apple ecosystem (iPhone+MacBook air) is twice the cost of comparable ecosystem (I use Asus ZenFone+TUF laptop) and I get a laptop that's good enough for gaming as a bonus. I also require a Windows PC for work so the MacBook would be in addition to the TUF.
The more and more I use Android and iPhone side by side while travelling I am drawn to iPhone because of camera shutter and video smoothness. Everything else is caught by Android I guess. Oh yeah. the face ID which works in dark, with cap, glasses, Apple Pay, Hide my email, Login with Apple ID. These are some of the best features. No match on Android side as per me.
@@pearlsofwisdom101samsung pass, samsung wallet, samshng have all of those perhaps even more. Don't forget the modes and routines which makes your phone an automation machine, oh yeah, also a working proper back button and notification center
Whatever said here only applies in the US, I have been using Iphones for a long time but only 1 year ago I used iMessage quite briefly, plus allot of apps are more optimized to Android than Apple, it's easier and more fluid in an Android than Apple
Im sticking with Android. I switched over from iPhone. And honestly i'm never going back. I love my Pixel. I definitely don't care about the blue and green bubble debate. Its stupid i don't care about what others have to say
Same here team pixel . I enjoy the AI features that are only available on pixel devices , And Are you in the U.S cus here , people make the Imessage thing a cult 😂 it's annoying but I really do not care
How does iPhone has good build quality? The back is glass. You drop it. It will break. I had an iPhone and the battery expanded causing the screen to come off.
The only thing I can agree to is App Optimization. I've owned a lot of tech for decades now. Have almost every single Apple product. The S22 Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro were my first Androids that I've used seriously [used Samsung's Note 7 before going back to my iPhone]. I just feel that a lot of apps works far, far better on iPhones. My sister bought the iPhone 15 [just because of the Pink Colour lol]. RUclips, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, Google Drive, Pinterest, Spark Mail etc, worked far better than on my S22 Ultra. And I'm not gonna lie, I couldn't believe I was using a Phone with 60Hz Display, because everything felt really smooth and fluid. The only time you even notice the iPhone 15 has a 60Hz Refresh Rate is when you scroll up or down real fast.
Nah, I just switch from iPhone to Android, boy how much a relief. Not falsely lied to with sense of security which is not secure. As not in the US, apps in some countries come in Android first then iPhone.
This was a really good video. I currently use an Android phone and (despite having worked for Apple in two of their stores as a post-retirement job) have never owned an iPhone. I'm considering a switch, and you make some really good points in this video as to why that might not be a bad idea. Good stuff!
Trust me when i tell you, if you switch to iphones you will like them they're good phones but they are very boring and limited. If you're ok with that you might use it for a couple of years but you will go back to android because of their innovation and the fact that they are so open and you can do whatever you want with your phone. (coming from an iphone 14 pro max user) soon switching to the s24 ultra :)
@@largon2008 That's the thing man. I'm primarily an Android user. And sometimes little quality of life issues stack up over here and remind my why the seamless functionality of the iPhone is so nice. So I switch back. Then I wanna play Ocarina of Time on an emulator on my phone. Ooof can't do that. lol If you're willing to put up with the occasional OS kinks on Android, it's honestly worth it. You have more options for platform integration (Google, Microsoft, etc.) instead of being shoe-horned into ONLY using the Apple platform. That being said, you're also able to use those things on iPhone and STILL have access to iCloud and things. It's a very complicated debate lol.
@largon2008 did you make the switch? And I agree iPhones are very boring and money hungry things. What made me shift away from apple is the serialization of the devices, the fact that you gotta pay for iCloud Storage for photos and files, and limited customization. Might I add that you can't even freaking get at least 90 hz for the new base model iPhone 15
that's the reason why I switch over to iOS too, the little things that some folks may not care. how the animations work, fluidity, coherence, overall feel. although I sacrificed battery but it helped me be mindful with how I consumed tech be more present in real life, make my device just a tool. plus the 2nd hand market and tech support is great here.
Thought about switching to android, but I have like 6k pics and videos that if I transfer using Google photos, I can no longer send them to iOS via texts
The part for iMessage is complete BS. Comparing iMessage with MMS is complete nonsence. Nobody, Nobody sends media via MMS!!! You mentioned yourself - WhatsUp, Telegram, Viber, etc. etc. this is what Android users are using and they do the job perfectly. Not saying that iMessage is bad, it is very good, but comparing it to MMS is silly.
Been an Android user from the beginning and love it (team Samsung) . However, I have also been a Mac user (exclusively) since the early 90s and I would like to experience the full ecosystem. Waiting for the release of the iPhone 15, to take the plunge.
I’ve been in the opposite boat. Apple eco system for over 10 years and I’m tired of thinking it’s the best. I genuinely think anything other than apple sucks. So I’m planning to quit apple and go all in on Android/windows. I’ll make a video on it soon.

After >10 years of Android phones (mostly Samsung) I switched to a 13PM in 2021 and I still enjoy the IOS experience. Not missing anything - no regrets.
I am thinking of switching for a variety of reasons but mostly for things like app optimization, camera, iMessage, and facetime. My frustrations stem from how divided both operating systems are but ultimately if I had to switch I want to become an iOS user. Is the switch easy? I am sort of nervous because I feel like the transition would be really difficult
that is surprising after how garbage the ios experience has become over the years, loved loved loved iOS for years up until the past cpl major updates. That and the design language starts to look incredibly outdated after seeing the same icons for the past 10 years.
Couldn't disagree more. Switched to iPhone after 12 years and just realised how delusional I was with those fancy gimmick features of android. I'd rather have consistent, reliability and speed then a full loaded gimmick android which becomes trash after 1 year
You see I love apple but, for example, I also miss being able to download apps to get free ringtones. And more freedom of customization, but it has been along time since I owned an android phone in the first, which was from a pretty crappy, android phone to an iPhone 6s and I can tell you it was an astronomical difference and upgrade. I’ve been looking at new phones like the Samsung galaxy S 23 and comparing them to my new iPhone 14 promax and iPhone such as xiaomi and oppo or whatever they are. And I can tell you that I’m happy with my purchase of the iPhone 14 promax it is just a great all-around phone to carry in my pocket every day, and although there are small places where android beats Apple, nothing beats Apple software and the seamless design and optimization of it they put so many hours of work in to. So Apple versus android I think it really depends on you like you said, I like this channel and I have subscribed I hope to see you go farther. Thank you. Have a great day.
You do realize that application developers that create the apps that you use don't actually work at apple, nor apple does any part in optimizing the apps, it's just that we know you guys are morons that pay for the apps so we make sure that they are more stable there so you can keep paying for most of the stuff that we release for free on android.
Android has the same feature as Apple iMessage. It's called the RCS message protocol. With the RCS message protocol, you can get the same features as Apple's iMessage, including typing indicators and the ability to send photos and videos over Wi-Fi and mobile data. With the upcoming iOS 18, Apple is going to adopt the RCS message protocol.
That is borderline unsub material if you basicly say "you stay on iOS/iMessage, because that is using the internet, while a android using MMS for mediashare"...
I literally explained in the video WHY that’s important (to me). Being able to send full resolution pictures and videos to family members is important to me. Doesn’t have anything to do with internet, etc. but MMS does have limitations which is what I was explaining.
@@TheTechMillennial are people really using MMS in the US? I think I've sent the last one 10 years ago here in Germany 😅 Regarding the full resolution sharing: it'd still be possible to share the pics and videos via Google Photos (i.e. by sharing the link via any kind of messaging app). That's more or less as "built-in" into android devices as iCloud is in iOS. Same story for passwords by the way when you're logged into your Google Account on a PC or alike.
Yeah, majority of population just uses the built in messaging app so SMS, MMS or iMessage. Nobody really uses whatsapp or anything here. And I don’t think a Google link drive is the same as just sending a picture in the message thread lol. Especially for older people like if I’m sending a video to my parents, they’re not about to mess with Google drive links, etc lol
@@TheTechMillennial I'm not talking about a drive link, but a photos link. It'll open up right in the photos app just like your local photos. We share pictures that way with our 75+ year old grand parents on a regular basis. It'll even allow them to add their own pictures to the shared albums of holiday trips or alike. That's also working on iOS btw. You may want to at least try it before claiming MMS as the android standard. Nobody in their right mind will send a 1 minute video via MMS.
@@TheTechMillennial "Doesn’t have anything to do with internet" vs your own made and edited video at 04:04. Let me ask: -if you buy an iPhone, and do not put into it any SIM or eSIM, and do not connect to wifi/internet, would you be able to send that 195 MB/s 4k video of yours to anywhere? NO! Android is the same? Yes -Would you be able to recive/send bad quality images through an iPone as well as on an android if you only have cell connection with MMS enabled, but without an internet plan? Yes - Are there multiple solutions on both platforms where you can send, share non-copressed media over mobile data-plans, or wifi, other than iMessage? Yes -Was your point fair in the video, about the capabilities of both systems in this regards? No -If everyone who matters to you is on one platform, easier to stay on that, meaning if family stays, easier for you to stay? SURE! But please, keep the technologies, and the personal preferences in a different room, and do not state "iMessage is better over the internet, because android, with MMS only, sucks..."
You can choose where you place any shortcut widget on the top down menu on iPhone. Just go to settings. That’s the only mistake I could see in this video. Subscribed.
No hate but this video just screams "im basic, now let me validate it" almost all of these things are pretty subjective. The objective truth is that iphones is that they are solid, basic phones. You are never going to get anything special from iphone. Its always going to be catching up to insanely useful features that other phones have had for years already. Cant sideload apps. Face unlock is the only biometric option. File browsing is awful. Insanely limited customization. No expandable storage. And i actually dont agree on intuitive featues. Apple is something you have to get use to. My parents never got use to ios and they had it for 4 years, when we switched phones, got them android and they adapted within a few days. Sure they could use basic apps but any kind of features were lost on them. I dont think apple is hard to use, but its not like riding a bike, takes some time to adapt. Im saying all of this and i dont hate apple. I actually have an M1 macbook and its one of my favorite pieces of tech. I just dont like apple's approach to phones
Apple fans defend iPhone with their arguments... Can't do anything... All I say is, just use some budget 200$ Android for a month and you'll realise the amount of functionalities you get and how easy your life is gonna become
Honestly, there is no right answer & I think it depends on what you value and what's important to you on whether Apple or Android is better. I used the original iPhone to the 4S, and I just felt like they weren't doing any type of innovation/significant change. But recently my dad got an iPhone 15 Pro Max, so I got to takeover his iPhone 12 Pro Max. The time with it has just reinforced what I think the pros/cons of each: The pros for Android is the customization, being able to have 5-6 icons in a row, clicking/dragging music/movies from my external hard drive and putting it onto my phone. It is just a lot EASIER on Android, then it is on an iPhone. Also as a guy who has multiple Line, FB, etc accounts its easier on Android bc I can do dual apps etc. Charging is another area where Android is becsause you can supercharge your phone a lot faster. Android also comes in more variety of sizes and now with foldables, there is just more out there. For iPhones, I myself like the haptic feedback when typing as well as the sounds that you hear when sending/receiving messages/notifications etc. I would also say that iPhones look/feel premium and thr resale value is CRAZY when compared to Android which decreases in price from day 1. Other people would bring up Facetime, iMessage, Air Drop and the Apple Ecosystem, but I don't have a Mac, iPad etc so this doesn't apply to me. Anyways, at the end of the day, it just depends on what makes you happy❤
This is my experience. First iOS device was a 12 - which I still have because 1. my kid's schools force them into iPads from Grade 4 all the way to Year 9. 2. because we use the apple family safety features - my wife and I both gave up our S series Galaxy's for an 11 for my wife and a 12 for me 3. My prev Gen 1 series only has apple car play - no android auto unless I spend a lot of cash on an adaptor that will force iDrive to work with Android Auto - or I get a new car 4. I have a crappy Motorola g31 that I got for free running Android 12 and just for a laugh - I put my SIM card into it and daily drove it for a week. The entire Android experience is so much better than Apple (I don't do social media like FB, TikTok etc so I don't care about the lower quality camera photos when using the Whatsapp camera vs the native camera) - just having notifications that make sense, or not having to navigate that stupid setting screen to change something instead of just changing it in the app then and there makes Android superior in usability. I've been watching more and more videos of iOS vs Android - I think I might trade in the 12 for a Pixel 8 now that they've said they will be supporting it for 7 years of Android updates.
No man, I was every time switching between iphone and android and I would say that it today is much more personal choice….i prefer iOS because the UI/UX…for me is incomparable, the only android that would give a good experience as iOS is google pixel, but they have a poor chipset nowadays.
Got an S24 and a Samsung Watch 6 Classic a few weeks ago - traded in my 12 , my iWatch and my wifes 11 at the apple store. I miss the iWatch -I think the sensors on the iWatch are more accurate than the Samsung watch (but I prefer a circular watch shape than the square iWatch - and would have kept the iWatch if it worked fully with an Android phone - but it doesn't so I figured I'd use it to get some money back for it) and of course I have broken all the iMessage group chats - but other than that - am very happy with the S24 - even though in Australia we get the shit Exynos processor not the Snapdragon. I couldn't stretch the budget to a S24 Ultra - and to be honest - I prefer the smaller form factor - and I don't see myself ever using the pen and simply don't want to have to fit such a large device into my pocket.
I buy Apple phone 2 days later i learned everything and phone start getting bored. I buy Android phone 1 year late i still learning some available options. Just customizations i can talk for days what phone can do.
Exactly .. If you noticed . Some apple users don't even know how to navigate their own phone settings . Also I like to tinker a lot with my home screen setups mostly every week . Can't stay stuck with the same setup . If I'm gonna pay all that money for a phone I should be able to change settings my way
S-Beam be like, it's only been 21 years, give them some time to figure it out. Also, it's all about privacy when you realize that apple keeps a copy online of every single file that you have on the device so i can deliver it in 4k to any other iphone user.
Apple's big advantage is that they produce as well hardware and software. Android does not have that, its a "one fits all" - solution since the software has to be able to handle a huge variety of hardware. Thats why iOS UI feels so smooth and android often does not. Therefore I have high expectations of Google's Pixel-phones. iMessage seems to be an US-only problem. Over here in Europe we use Whatsapp or RCS and it works perfectly fine. In fact iMessage is one of Apple's tricks to keep ppl within the ecosystem, while refusing to go with the trend. To me Apple has become uninnovative. They did not want to use USB-C, they sell old hardware for high prices, they dont pick up "new" technology like RCS (Google introduced RCS in 2015 i believe...) and so on. Sure with iOS you get decent battery life, good camera and an overall smooth system. But you got that with the last 10 versions of iPhone too. There is a ton of features android offers for years that never made it into apples ecosystem. There is nothing really new, nothing really exciting. iPhones are boring and for the most part outdated.
Reliability and speed is number 1 for me on a phone. I don't care for "exciting" features that I'll never use. No phone will impress me like booting up my windows pc and having hundreds of apps open will.
@@portman8909iPhone literally restricts 'back' swipe only to one side lol(To make it ridiculous, left side lol) and still uses their ridiculous notch!
@@portman8909 iOS, like android, is based on GNU Linux. Dont bring up windows in this. But of course, if you don't have high expectations of a phone and are happy to pay twice as much for half the performance - go for it.
@@Austria002 IOS uses unix and Android is googlefied Linux. It doesn’t really matter what they are. My desktop machine is far more capable than any flagship phone today. For both productivity and gaming. It’s not even close. Show me a phone that plays division 2 1440p at 165 fps?
@@portman8909 What in the world are you talking about? You are comparing a windows desktop PC to mobile devices running an entirely different system with an entirely different purpose. This topic here is about phones, not PCs Feel free to carry a PC with you, id rather stick to a phone for being on the go and leave the PC in my office.
I wish Apple used their UX research to make iOS as intuitive to navigate around as Android. If they fixed this and also added features that should've been common sense by now that are present on Androids, then WAAAAY more people would use them. Apple's hardware and build quality is already peak, all they need to do is implement this stuff and a lot more Android users would be converted.
I've been enjoying Samsung and choosing it over iPhone for the past decade but in the past year, media sharing on Android has begun affecting my professional work. I've also moved home and all of my family and friends are on iPhone. I used to sneer at the peer pressure but for the first time I'm actually feeling inferior on my android... I also went from a flagship Samsung to the FE and a lot of apps I use on a daily basis are buggy and I'm tired of it. I recently switched back to Mac, and I've been enjoying my iPad pro since 2018. Though it feels like I'm joining a cult, I'm ready to embrace the ecosystem (never thought I'd say it kinda makes me feel queasy 😂) I've been patiently waiting for type c and other features to finally come through on the iPhone and the time is here. Haven't had a iPhone since 5th gen, now I'll be switching back for iPhone 15.
@@lucaswild i’ve been very happy with the iPhone 15 Pro Max! It is very heavy compared to even my largest Samsung, but it’s a compromise for the beautiful quality and performance. I do feel that the 5X zoom is a bit of a gimmick. I’m a photographer and I love using my phone on the fly, but I find that in many real world applications where I would rather use my phone over my camera, the 5X zoom is a little too close, and I find myself, wishing that I could use the 2X without it being a digital crop. Besides that, the quality has been great for my work in social media. What’s most important is the video quality since that is the preferred format and that has been leaps and bounds beyond any, android that I have previously owned. There have been some software glitches, but nothing as bad as what I experienced on android. As for the ecosystem, I’m really loving the functionality between my devices. It’s made me much more productive. I do feel the capitalist scheme working on me though lol. I was perfectly happy to stay with my Samsung watch. I prefer the look of them quite a bit to the Apple Watch, however, since I’ve gotten into using things like Apple health and having watched the release trailer for the new Apple Watch I feel, a sudden desire. The only thing I won’t break on is the AirPods. After looking into them for my boyfriend‘s birthday and going through all the specs, I realized that even a Samsung buds model from years ago, outperforms the standard AirPods, and I simply refuse to pay all that money for the AirPods Pro, when people say that the quality is mediocre and I can get the same benefits out of my Samsung buds that I already own. There are some minor things that I miss about the android experience, but I expected this, and it’s nowhere near as bad as I feared it would be. I find that iOS and One UI have become quit similar experiences these days, with the only major differentiation being the ecosystem.
Wow, I just noticed this video was a year ago. The iPhone has changed so much with the new iOS 18. I’m running the beta right now and is there’s a lot of change.
I am locked in Android ecosystem because of I need to install Linux software on my rooted android. So my system is hard to re build on Iphone. Iphone build quality is crappy, Iphone iMessage sucks, Iphone camera is okay from Sony . But the gold of Iphone is the SoC, so much efficient no need big battery. If they make Iphone that run android I would buy it. I really like Apple they make few products but their profit is gold I have AAPL shares since 2016 the growth is more than gold
I honestly dont blame you, ive been thinking about switching back to iphone as of late. Ive been with android user for a soild 8 years now. But yeah Android is becoming super dull... Also ive notice quite a bit of crashing,bugs, battery just isnt that good, stand by as well. Getting videos in messages on Android from iphone is horrid, I'm glad you pointed that out!! Definitely such an annoyance considering that my family uses iPhones. It's gotten so bad I just ignore the videos now. But its the same thing vice versa sending a video to a iPhone user its just as bad 😂 The refinements on Apple has gotten so much better then the 11,12,13 iterations!! Now Samsung is literally taking the same page out of Apple's book Since Galaxy s22ultra and now with the s24 ultra coming out it's literally the same phone as s22 ultra. So 3 years now with the exact same body refinements what a joke😅 android is only better then iphone in The aspect of it's not locked or limited within its OS and customization, charging speeds, multitasking! That's honestly it though, iphone is WAY MORE POLISHED on the OS, better battery life,BETTER STAND BY TIME, better ecosystem,better apps, magsafe is super dope,iMessage is way better then RCS gimmick! 😂 Currently on a fold 5 and at first i loved it but now just bored, along with my annoyances from andriod. Really thinking about getting the iphone 15 pro max.
I switched recently to apple from android and I can say that the only thing that bothers me is the fact that every app that on android is free on iOS it is not!
What I love most about IPhone is how easy it is to connect with other IPhone users when your in a group chat or FaceTime it’s amazing how great and high quality the videos and pictures are Android users don’t get to experience that but at least android phones have great battery life and they can download music and emulators
Started on an Evo 4G with Sprint, and ended on a Galaxy Note 8. Switched to iPhone 13 mini, and never looked back. I have been looking at the Pixel 8 Pro and Zen 10 Pro…really interesting devices! Will be upgrading to a 15 Pro Max next month.
@@EstiloInAction pretty happy with the standard 15, screen is brighter, rounded edges feel better, mate back looks premium and the battery is pretty good. I skipped the pro since I don't really care too much about the cameras. Natural Titanium looks beautiful I have to admit tho.
Switched to 15 pro max after 12 blatant years of android. The only android phone I am considering is the pixel. Other than, spending a single dollar on android brands are just a waste. Keeping fine with the iPhone for atleast 6 years
Back to Android. I only left because I had heard the rave reviews of the iphone camera, and Android, circa Pixel 3, was pretty horrible. Pixel Fold for me now. I still think the Pixel camera is better. I'm in the Google drive system, and photo uploads from iphone to drive, is a pain.
How did you get those 4 apps on your iPhone home screen to stay towards the bottom right? That's one of the main reasons i didn't like my iPhone. The apps always go to the top.
Everything you said about why you like iPhone over android is spot on .im an android fan myself that’s why I’m really hoping google takes a page out of apple book
The EU will require Apple to allow sideloading due to anti-monopoly policies, if it gets to the point Android is, the little robot may be in danger. To those who don't remember apple had a competitor before android debuted (besides WinMobile and blackberryOS) Symbian was a monster ahead of its time android brought app permissions in 2013, Symbian had it in freaking 2007! The Nokia 5800 was the only time iPhone was outnumbered in sales. I grew up using android, but if iOS will allow sideloading just like android does, sign me up for it, hell I would pay the premium! I always have been an apple fan because the iPod has been a gadget that was around my entire life, even to this very day, no device sounds better
Isheep spotted. I have the 13 PM and 15PM yet i use my other android flagships phones more. The last i used my 15PM was 3 months ago and it's inside the box😂
I love the granularity and control that Android provides. It's also very intuitive, nimble and street smart while being cheap and cheerful. The Google ecosystem is so flexible and open too. iPhone is robust, tightly integrated and just works while being a bit outdated and dumb. Hardware and OS stability, performance and security despite it being walled garden is another factor. That's why even old people use iPhones. Lastly, the tangible benefit of iPhone is app data backup which Android lacks. All being said, I will stick with and swear by Stock Android for as long as they are available and affordable. iPhone is really for happy and rich people having all the time and bliss in this world. Hey Google!
@@wojtek_sanitarnik The backup should be ecosystem based, something that Apple does best. In Android some devices may have complete native "transfer stuff from old phone to new phone" but they would only be useful if you have the phone in hand (what if phone is lost, destroyed..?). I have not tried this. On the Pixel phones, I do own one (Pixel 3), I have not seen any native backup to/restore from the cloud capability that backs up Pixel entirely including Pixel's App data (like Apple does from iCloud), nor have I seen any native phone to phone transfer utility as quoted in my first paragraph. What then remains is the generic Android options of 1) transferring from old device to new device (either wirelessly or via cable) or 2) pull from Google Account, either from a) Google cloud account, or from b) Google account device backups. Either way these Android backup restore options do not restore App data to new phone. The only App data restored if Google account device backup option is chosen (2 b above) is SMS and Call history but no other app data is restored besides sync of native Google apps data (Contacts, Calenders, Gmail..). So bottom line is that Android needs to work on App data backup and restore feature. Currently it requires extensive technical ability such as rooting your phone and use of third party apps in order to do App backup. These fragmented way of performing backups keeps Android to second place to Apple in this backup/restore capabilities.
old people that use iPhones for simplicity, use it because all they do on it what they did on Nokia 3310 :) Security on iPhone? :)))) don't make me laugh... did you see the new hackaton this year? There were multiple vulnerabilities found on iPhone 14's There were also hacks and malware on all Apple devices throughout the years. Not sure what you're smoking but for over 6-7 years, there are just as many malware and security issues as on android or windows etc. In the past there were less security issues, because there were less people using apple devices so hackers didn't really care.
Do you know why android doesn't have data backups, it's not that it can't do it, but it's actually a privacy issue, unlike apple, we don't brag about privacy we offer it by example. In order to have your data restored across devices that means that it sits somewhere, you can trust it's encrypted, but unless you use your own gpg key, it's most likely still readable from the person that encrypted it for it, so yeah...a tit for tat the next time you decide to take a photo of your child, or save some important document, big brother is watching. While us pleb poor android users, we just buy from the store, flash it just in case, and live a happy life. (not saying some android phones don't do it as well) It's just that we have the option to fix it, while you don't, and you pay for it.
I said it in 2009, and I’ll say it in 2024…fragmentation has always and will forever always be it’s Achilles heel. Open source is good if your a tech nerd and developer. Most users, regardless of country and region simply aren’t. For those of you who aren’t, iOS is by FACT a better OS for the daily average user who does NOT build apps, or is a developer, and again even if I’m being generous and say 10% of the total population, that leaves 90% of you out there who aren’t. The reason anyone outside of the US uses Android has nothing to do with anything related to iOS, but due to pricing, market costs, and carrier subsidies here in the states vs not having that in most European countries. When your buying a phone outright, an Android will ALWAYS be cheaper than an Apple device. That is why android is more popular outside the states. Here, you can get an iPhone 15 pro max for $30/ month. That’s mostly a US marketing thing because here, we finance literally everything these days. Has less to do with preference and more of what the average user can afford.
I've used both over the years. I use one for a few years then switch back to the other. For a long time iPhone was stagnant but then with the X they suddenly started moving forward again and now both the hardware and software are very compelling. I'm currently on Android but plan to move to iPhone towards the end of the year, God willing. I've been using either old flagships or budget phones for the past 4 years and I'm tired of mediocre cameras. There's nothing in the current mid range android segment that's any good. They all have weak CPU, very bad cameras, awful video and plastic build. And are not cheap anymore. Most don't even have headphone jacks or SD card slots either. So I'm going to buy the best iPhone I can afford, whether that's the latest iPhone 16 or the 13 or 14. I want to do the same for my wife so we're on the same platform. She prefers iPhones anyway. One important note: I will still be using Google Photos for my storage and backup. The reason for this is because if I switch back to Android at a few years it's VERY DIFFICULT to get your photos out of icloud. And Notes too You cannot get them out without a Mac, it's crazy. Whereas Google makes it very easy to export all your stuff on any pc and gives it to you in zips you download. Super easy. No lock in. I'll just use iCloud for sync and phone backup on the free tier. As far as the OS goes I do think iOS tends to implement features which are more wanted and used by consumers: facetime and iMessage, using your iPhone as a camera on your Mac or apple TV, memoji, setting your own unique contact card, easy sharing of contact details, lock screen customisation, bedtime clock, SOS assist, fall detection, crash detection, sharing location with a loved one, UWB to find your pods or keys or wife in a shopping centre, fast awesome cameras that always get a great shot boo matter what, top tier video quality, appealing curved phone design , fluid animations, on device Siri, airdrop These are quality of life details that matter more than being able to do OTG, or being able to fold the phone, or change an icon. iOS now seems to focus on your interaction with people and also with your health. Android focuses on tech specs and how this device can fold. At the end of the day the focus on people and interacting with them easily, with high quality photos and documents, with ease of use are what matters more. And Google in future is making the same mistake. It's going all in on Ai but that won't help human interaction in any meaningful way. It won't detect if I've had an accident or make it easy to video call someone or send them a video, picture or memoji. Google Fit is a joke next to Apple Health and so is android TV next to Apple TV. Apple enables lifestyle whereas Android is more about giving you the basic tech so they can advertise to you and use you as Ai guinea pigs to make them more money. Only Samsung really focuses on users and quality of life but it still came measure Apple's offerings and services, and only the premium Samsung devices get this. The A55 costs €550 here in Cyprus and had a weak CPU and shit cameras. For €549 I can get a new 128gb iPhone and for €619 an iPhone 13. Both of which kill the Samsung. Plus in a few years I can trade in the iPhone for a new one, but Samsung doesn't have that here. If Apple would bring back the iPhone SE with the 6.1 screen, A15, a great single camera with wireless charging and magsafe, and price it at €450 for 128Gb they would decimate the budget Android market in the EU, US and many other markets, including India. So many people want iPhone but can't afford it, so a modern SE with that price would wipe out all Android sales from €350 and up. Only the very cheap €300 and below android phones would be left....
For me it’s Continuity between the OS and Hardware Apple makes both and that’s important to me as they can get the most out of their hardware… its always been like that for me
Same for me. Continuity and AirDrop - copy text on iOS and paste it into Mac, Scan Document and save it directly into Mac-Folder, Send pdf from WhatsApp to iPad without Internet Connection is regularly very useful to me. That keeps me from switching to Android for good.
I had an iPhone 11 Pro Max for about 5 months and the only reason was my business partner at the time he had used an iPhone and I was like well if you buy me one that's fine but I really don't want one. And the craziest part about it is thankfully I never owned an iPhone so I wasn't in that stupid phase that most of iPhone users are. Where they think the phone is the best no matter what and they don't even bother looking at other phones lol. I can't believe the amount of people who are iPhone users don't realize they're getting charged for apps that are totally free like it's the same exact app but you're getting charged five bucks a month who the hell does that money go to.
I can so relate to this - I am not even from the US but have so many friends & relatives that iMessage has become an integral part of how we communicate. To add to it my entire family uses iPhone here in India which means iCloud, Photos, every other accessory & device is Apple. I want to switch to Android and try to keep doing it, actually wasting more money simply because I love the customization and freedom it offers. But ultimately, I have to switch back, every single time.
I am watching this in 2024 and it's safe to say with new updates on the s23 ultra some of things you said based on your feelings as being better has been really much improved on the s23. But iPhone is also really good with their work no doubt.
Multitasking is still poop in iphones and some banking apps I use are still not available on apple store. Scrolling and animations may feel fluid but they're too slow for me who prefers faster animations and there's no universal back button on iOS
The iOS is neither Simple nor a great experience, I have seen new iPhone lag so many times I can't believe it. Also the lack of a F**KING BACK GESTURE is annoying as hell R.I.P one handed use. Google photos is good enough to back up things and Customisation is a nightmare on iOS. Many basic features are missing from the phones which is too annoying for me.
Problem with switching to iPhone is locking down yourself into an echo system. You can't easily get out. My biggest deal breaker with iPhone is lightning port. Thats most annoying thing for consumers. Plus buying it for 1000$ without a charger in the box ? Too much...no thanks i will stick with Android.
I've been an Apple user since the 1980s. Trust me when I say this. Do NOT under any circumstances store your media on Apple iCloud. Store YOUR media on a third-party cloud storage. If you don't this, it will make it nearly impossible to leave the walled garden without much pain or leaving YOUR media.
Android has the same feature as Apple iMessage. It's called the RCS message protocol. With the RCS message protocol, you can get the same features as Apple's iMessage, including typing indicators and the ability to send photos and videos over Wi-Fi and mobile data. With the upcoming iOS 18, Apple is going to adopt the RCS message protocol.
@@John24Russell why don't you just comment normally
I'm not trying to defend iCloud or anything, but it's not hard to download your stuff from any cloud, and transfer it back out to another storage device of your choice.
The real problem is if you use Apple's proprietary software and apps. For example, I had a harder time copy and pasting out stuff from Notes and Keynote.
Real talk. Exactly what I go through everytime I want to leave !
Why you spreading lies?
The only Reason i agree with is the UI Design and Fluidity. The Build quality of Flagship Androids is on par with new iPhones. iMessage is an US only problem. Images get sent over Wifi via Whatsapp to Androids too.
Currently whatsapp is compressing the images/videos drastically. But in the near future whatsapp shoudl get uncompressed photo and video share
@@johan-wh5qt yeah but its fine for a quick share of videos etc
I agree with what you're saying. Build quality was my last point for a reason because there are some really good flagship androids out there. Also I did point out in my video that iMessage is a problem only here in the US because of the huge market share here. Nobody really uses other messaging apps 😕
I didn’t know Whatsapp compresses pics/videos. I guess my point still stands :) if I didn’t share a lot of pictures with family then it wouldn’t be a big deal.
Only boomers care about iMessage. Messaging is free now but Mobile data is limited. Also if you want privacy you would use SMS or iMessage anyhow.
That's cute. I have 45 reasons why iOS is 10 years behind Android in features, usability and utility:
1. Notifications. There isn't even a comparison. iOS notifications are horrendous, even Android notifications from 2012 are better than today's iOS notifications.
2. Apps. This is one of the biggest iOS flaws. App Store don't have variety of Apps, therefore, lots of relevant and quality apps are missing. When I switched to iOS, I missed about 20 essential apps that I used every week, and I couldn't find any alternative for them on the Apple Store, even in paid apps. For example, something so trivial like a MUSIC PLAYER APP, there's not ONE in iOS that is at least comparable with PowerAmp on Android, even in paid apps.
4. No real file manager. Unbelievable. This totally spoils the usage of the OS in so many ways.
3. No always-On Screen. iOS don't have this in 2023 while Android had it for so many years.
5. The iOS keyboard sucks, while Android's Gboard is actually pretty good. You can install third party keyboards on iOS, but the keyboad will still be almost equally bad because Apple forces third party keyboards to use the Apple's API.
6. Siri sucks so much. Google Assistant is extremely good, I'd say it's 10 years ahead of Siri.
7. Selecting text is really dumb and slow on iOS compared to Android.
8. No Sideloading apps.
9. Extremely poor customization and no third party launchers.
10. No system-wide adblocker.
11. No real browser like Kiwi on Android, that let's you install any desktop browser extensions. Safari is a joke, and again, Apple don't let you install a third party browser to surpass this issue, because all iOS browsers on App Store use Safari's API, so in reality no matter which browser you use, you are always running Safari. The exact same problem happens with third party keyboard, as I explained.
12. No possibility to set default apps.
13. No real and interactive widgets. It's true that iOS finally implemented widgets after 13 years that Android had it (lol) but it still doesn't come close to Android's widget, as iOS widgets aren't really interactive.
14. No universal back gesture.
15. No split screen/multitasking.
16. Can't change volume independently for alarm, media, notifications, etc.
17. No fingerprint scanner.
18. No call recording.
19. No usb stick/hard disk support through OTG.
20. No direct face unlock without swiping.
21. No file transfer to PC. I can't stand that iTunes bullshit.
22. No Picture in Picture feature/floating apps like Google Maps does on Android.
23. No console emulators.
24. No possibility to installing custom roms.
25. No possibility to download torrents.
26. No possibility to change size of all the text on the system.
27. No native OGG and FLAC support.
28. Still uses lightning port. Edit: they finally implemented USB-C in 2023 because they were forced to (europe regulations), but the speed is the same as the old lightning port (lol), so not on par with the average Android USB-C.
29. No MHL (mirror phone to monitor/TV).
30. No desktop mode like some Androids have, for example Samsung DeX and Motorola Ready.
31. No quick disable auto brightness
32. Correcting words is a nightmare because the cursor only goes to beginning or end of words, not where you touch it like on Android.
33. Phone dialer app is a joke. No cursor, if you accidently press a wrong number, you have to backspace the whole thing and redo again, and the same goes for the calculator app. And no T9 dialing.
34. No pause in video recording.
35. No battery saver (low power mode on iOS is a gimmick). On Android the power saver would drastically extend the battery life.
36. if an app is malfunctioning, you will have to uninstall and reinstall, while on Android you could just clear cache/data
37. No option to use navigation buttons
38. if an app crashes, it will just close or freeze abruptly with no notification whatsoever, while on Android it will give you a notification that the app has stopped working and give you options to force close or to wait.
39. No Clipboard feature
40. Totally unintuitive way to change app settings. Most apps settings can't be accessed directly from the app, you have to leave the app, open phone settings, look for the app, then locate the app settings. The same goes for the camera app, no menu inside the camera app. Also no pro mode for the camera.
41. No pin to screen feature
42. Photo management is terrible, for example, Whatsapp photos get saved in the camera roll. Wtf?
43. Still no easy native way to add custom ringtones. Laughable.
44. No scrolling screeshots
45. No option to change animation speed, which decreases speed, or at the very least, decreases the perceptibility of speed.
Of course there are a lot of other small things and details that I don't recall right now or don't know, but I won't extend further. It's over for applefags.
Damn mate I can totally agree.
You've just totally put me off moving to an iPhone from my Fold 5 😂
I was about to switch to the iPhone 15 pro max, from an S22 Ultra, just for a change. Not gonna do it anymore.
The biggest advantage with Android is that you can buy devices according to your financial condition and all devices will have a value for money advantage..
Many of your points are simply not true, while others are completely dumb. You are saying that there is no files app, even though there is one. You are saying that iPhones don't have always on displays, which is also not true. You are saying picture in picture is not a thing, even though it is. "but the speed is the same as the old lightning" my iPhone 15 pros transfer speed of 10 Gbps is faster than most androids, including samsungs flagships. You are also saying you can't clear the cache when an app stops working..... Firstly apps crash extremely rarely unlike on android where it happens every single day, secondly you can easily clear the cache of an app in the apps settings.
Most of your points are also non issues. For most of your points there is a counter point to android.
Also, what does a feature of a third party app have to do with the iPhones photo management?
What a braindead list
I paused the video at exactly 1 minute, because i just had to say this: This was the cleanest b-roll/intro I’ve ever seen, good job man!

I have always been an Android user. Just a month ago I bought my first iPhone to try out. The 15 pro.
This video perfectly sums up my experience. There's lots that feels a little clunky with apple. The keyboard is the worst part of the iphone.
I do however, like the amount of work apple puts in to make a seamless experience. It does seem to flow more, and apps just integrate with each other.
I'm still unsure if i'll stick with it, or get myself a 2024 android.
I just miss the back button so much and i miss the hole punch. And I don’t like that if you owe subscriptions money Apple won’t let you download any free apps. And if they don’t accept your card you’ll also have issues. On Android they could care less lol.
What's your verdict? How's your experience so far? Have you switched?
@@kevaughngolding9156I went back to the Android, and sold the 15 Pro.
Apple makes a fine product, no doubt, but the Android is just something I feel a lot better using.
@kevaughngolding9156 Metro by t-mobile has a deal on the Samsung S23 fe that if you switch over your number, it's only $49.99!!! So I'm gonna go with my partner, and we're gonna upgrade.
But yeah, after dealing with Apple's lies,greed,and bs, I'm absolutely done with them and will be selling all Apple items. It's hard to sell my tablet that I begged my mom for it was the iPad 6th Gen that I got on my birthday, so it holds sentimental value to me.

I used to be passionately team android. I made a deal with one my best friends who happened to like iPhones just as much I did Androids. The next phone I'd buy would be an iPhone and then I'd tell him why I didn't like it when I switched back to Android.
This was in 2017 and I am now still using an iPhone, so technically I still haven't had to tell him he was right.

@@delroyopondowhy is the s22 ultra selling for almost the same as an 11 pro max if it has great resell value? S22 ultra sells for slightly more used despite it being a newer phone and also a more expensive msrp.
Long time Android use here who has been using the iPhone 13 for 6 months. The ui is inconsistent. Navigation within the system and apps is easier with Android navigation gestures. Cameras are about the same. Battery life is similar with the s23 series. One thing I can tell you is that my s23 gets better reception than any of our iPhones. That alone will keep me on Android.
I also noticed this. I have a S22 ultra and also an iPhone both me and my wife and the reception on the S22 ultra is always better. We travel a lot in places with low signal and most of the time where the iPhone doesn't have signal, the S22 ultra does.

S23 owner here. Glad I came across your comment. Other comments stated the same thing with reception on Samsung being better vs Iphone.
I’ve seen your video pop up on my recommendations for a while now. I’ve been on iOS for three years about to be four years in March consistently, I will be getting the iPhone 15 Pro Max very soon, but I also will be picking up a Google Pixel 8 Pro as well in the near future. I can’t find a phone or operating system that makes me want to commit wholeheartedly, so I just go back-and-forth between Android and iOS but now I’m just gonna use Android and iOS simultaneously.
As long as you use Google messages on Android, it does the exact same thing as I message for the most part including high detail video and photos
There's only one major flaw to your comparison and that's regarding the software support. Apple is still years ahead of any android brand when it comes to delivering regular updates that actually solves minor issues, unlike its android counterparts. Even though, for example purposes only, Samsung delivers 4 android updates + 5 year security patches, with their flagship lineups, most often than not, those patches don't solve a single thing. Starting from galaxy s3, I've had almost every single Samsung S series and Note series phone, and let me tell you, camera focus issue on Samsung phones was always there, even back in the day. They still haven't find a way to fix it or, they choose not to do so. S21ultra had it, s22ultra as well and even s23ultra. Every single one of those phones could not provide you with a constantly decent photos/ videos of a moving subject. Sure, they can get the job done, but you will have to work for it, more often than you would want. Every year, after a few months after launching their new flagship series, Samsung issues a patch which was, supposedly, going to fix the camera issues. But, it never does. Than you spend time waiting for another patch and the cycle goes on. Soon enough, new flagship phones are set to launch and the older gen gets forgotten. They still keep pushing updates, patches, but no one cares now, there's a new kid on the block.
Iphone, on the other hand, gets the job done almost every single time. Sure, some hickups occure when you rush a new product, but they don't ignore it. They promptly issue a patch that fixes the problem. Not having to delete tons of blurry photos (or unusable videos) every time I wanna capture my toddler running around the house, goofing around is a huge difference and a headache remover, at least in my book.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 is getting 7 years of updates
The S24 and Google Pixels are getting 7 years of updates. Also there are unlocked bootloaders and custom ROMs that effectively give your Android phone unlimited support
You must not know how to use Samsung's camera settings very well. The past several years of flagships have taken wonderful photos and videos.
Totally true i have a Tab S9 ultra im still on the July security update
Since Apple released the update 1 week later they released another update with the same iOS version 17.6.1 but with different build number
The iPhone feels extremely fast and smoother than the first iOS 17.6.1
September 16 when my iPhone 14 Pro Max arrived by ups
Buy the time I received the iPhone at home
I received a notification in my old iPhone saying that Apple just released iOS 16.0.1 emergency update to fix issues for users that was unable to restore from backup
True love & respect for Apple
I’ve used both… I started using Android when the original Note debuted. Apple was the 1st smart phone tho, so up until that point I was using an iPhone and was into Jailbreaking and all that jazz once that all started to be popular. Once I started using Android’s I got into rooting and swapping ROMs and all that too!! Im wanting to use Android because I really would like to use a Z Fold 5… my last Android phone was the Note 20 Ultra… I LOVED that phone ! Even got a Tab S7+ to go along with it!! But… ended up selling it all and going back to Apple. Everything just works better and flows more fluently IMO!! There’s always a honeymoon phase when I’ve tried switching back to Android. I’m in a lot group txt threads and the experience was HORRIBLE with that! Along with limited media files that you were allowed to send through txt 😢 I don’t understand why Android users get so upset with Apple users 😅 I’ve literally used BOTH to their FULLEST and have concluded that Apple suits me the most… to each their own 🤷♂️
After 12 years with android i switched to apple last week. Everything works fine and smooth. Happy customer so far. Switched from a OnePlus 8t to a 15 pro max
I have been an ultra / note user for years. My whole life basically. I too switched to iPhone 15 and I’m in love with it ! I find my self staring at my phone for no reason. It’s stunning. I never felt this for my ultra

@@meshofesha7789 how old is your android ? I had an s23 ultra and when I switched I was able to transfer all my photos, videos, contacts, messages, in like 10 minutes using the “move to IOS app” . And I had no problem at all moving my stuff over. What did take me a bit was setting up an Apple ID and all those steps because I was a true new user to iPhone . I have a friend who had a Samsung A50 and he was also able to transfer everything in minutes. As long as your android doesn’t crash it’ll be fast and easy. If you buy your iPhone at your carrier store however , they will transfer everything for you even faster . Making it even easier on you. I only did it my self because I purchase straight from Apple/samsung . But if you go in person it’ll be easier

@@Gerardo96-f6c hey can i ask you about how you're dealing with back gestures?
Switched to iphone this week from my samsung galaxy s10 plus and i hate it...
1. To transfer files and whatsapp was a heavy work. Took me hours and intensive research
2. No option to pause video recording
3. No call recording
4. Very hard to download pdf files. Instead of just getting downloaded, it opens in a new tab and then u have to share it, save it etc
5. Even the calculator is very basic,. In android, u can see the calculatioms u done just in the screen itself, but in ios the app is like an old one we used 20 yra ago
6. No numbers on the keypad
7. Even if we switch to numerical keyboard from alphabets, the most frequent symbols like *, +, #, etc are on the second page of symbols..
These are the things that got to my nerves just in 3 days.

@@jackdundas1741 saw the video?
Buying an iPhone is like moving into a fully furnished house - just bring your towels and toothbrush, and you’re all set. I appreciate this video detailing how Apple’s interfaces are meticulously designed, sparing users from the hassle of customization. Personally, I don’t require much from my phone and lack the time to tweak every setting for each app. I agree that the iMessage and app optimization are selling points. The iPhone’s popularity in America stems from its plug-and-play simplicity - it’s ready to use without a manual. As a college student, my iPhone serves more than just communication; it’s a multi tool for saving notes, managing tasks, recording lectures, and scanning documents . Plus, iCloud storage ensures seamless access to my media across all devices. After over 10 years of using the iPhone, I am satisfied with the phone’s performance.
I tried so so hard to love ios, 2 years. I cant anymore. Maybe once I'm older and i don't enjoy tinkering and having what i want, and not what someone tells me im going to have, but im def going back to samsung later this month.
Same feelings dear friend.
At these days Android just works
Same with me I still have my 13 pro max but I just bought a z fold 5 and I’m in love with it, I missed having the amount of freedom androids have to offer also I customized my screen and apps in such a way I was happy to do and it looks cool now

I was thinking going to Android as I see some cool developments and cost, but had the same reasons as you gave for not doing that. I am afraid ultimately Android has too many services continuity limitations and you require too much tinkering to find alternatives. As I get older, I value service functionality, ease of use, and overall integration, which Apple simply does best. Only if the cost could be cheaper that would be ideal, because one thing I really hate is that the cheaper devices from Apple lack just 1-2 features that I always find important and they put them in Pro models...
13 year android user year...I'm switching to iPhone..Android is too glitchy...have the pixel and I'm over it...90% of my friends and family have iPhone...so imessage and FaceTime is a big reason too. iPhone build and OS is just rock solid
@anon2414
You are right! But on the IPhone went through some bugs and glitches like the camera app just black out on me when I opened. IIOS design language is something questionable.
and android isnt? I can think of 20 glitches per day on android (granted had it 2 years ago so not latest experience). Overall, Android as OS is way more questionable than IOS @@miko-ee
I really wish Apple just went all the way with iOS. It's great overall and looks and feels nice, but navigating it can be super counter-intuitive. Why do I have to go to the settings app for almost every little thing, while on Android settings are always accessible from within the apps themselves? For an OS that claims to be intuitive, that sure as hell isn't. Same goes for the back gesture on iOS, or the lack thereof. In some apps it's a swipe from the left, in some it's a button on the top left, and in some instances you have to swipe down...often it's different even within the same app depending on which menu you're in. That's just not a good thing to do
I agree on the gesture control, sometimes its weird but in 90% of the time its not an issue.
As for the settings, I actually prefer that. I think it brings order to the chaos of settings as most apps follow unified approach to the settings. You always know what you can do to an app in the settings menu vs in-app settings. Also, most apps still allow for in-app tweaking, its just for major bits that relate to data tracking and some phone hardware control that you must go to the settings menu on IOS. This actually does make sense as it allows for easier privacy control and overview of your settings per app. Of course, if you do not use IOS often it can be hella frustrating for a few months till you get used to it :D @@leDespicable
I just love cellphone tech, period. I switch back and forth, too. It's more interesting that way 😎

I’m in the same predicament!! Finally someone on the same page!
Canadian here and Windows Phone fanboy who switched to Andriod; I use iOS at work. I have friends and family on iOS however rarely use iMessage, but use WhatsApp and WeChat regularly instead. The iOS smooth animations of opening and closing apps etc. was a copy from Windows Phone since iOS 7 back in 2013. Only on Windows Phone and Android can you plug your phone into a computer and drag and drop MP3s, JPGs, etc. hassle free.

With Android you feel freedom but can't fully rely on your device. You can do more, but need more efforts and attention to set up, adjust, customize, fix, check etc. )
With iPhone you feel cramped but can rely on your device. You can do less, but, with this, need less efforts and attention. It's really just work.
After some time I catch Apple's philosophy: Begin with simplicity. Do less to achieve more. First things first.
For example: I shoveled tons of productivity apps (Todoist, TickTick, Any Do, Craft, Notion etc.etc.) but returned to where I've started Apple Notes and Reminders: simple, less functional, has some inconvenient, but in real life situations - when you need to do things done it's just works from scratch, without any adjustments, learning curves etc. I achieved more with this simple apps, than with tens hours of Notion tutorials ))
Wish the bets for everyone )Show less

I feel you and that's why they call it walled garden
A long term android user.
I am going to upgrade to the iPhone 16 pro max. My s24u ultra developed a SIM card issue and heating at times.
Not to mention the battery drain.
I then decided to order the pixel XL 9.
Big mistake this phone gets hot when downloading apps. If you in the sun it gets heated up quickly. Not to mention it has low cellphones coverage and wireless very little customisations options. The pixel just ended up exhausting me which lead me to get back to my apple iPhone 13 pro max.
It just works and I don't need picture as me feature gimmicks I need basic stuff to just work. That is cellphone and wireless coverage, good battery life, no heating issues.
These switching smartphone videos are now just a way of getting people's attention otherwise they're based on biased opinions and doesn't help much in regards to helping people decide which brand is better as such i think its better for people to try these products on their own and make their own assessment
However this was a fair presentation of personal preference
@@TwinKing- Not fair as it's being influenced by eCosYsTem US mentality which most of the country don't care
Living outside of the US I can't understand many of those iPhone advantages. Nobody uses iMessage and the default way of communication and video sharing is through Watts App. The only weakness of Android usage of Watts App is if I use the in-app camera functionality instead of the device camera app and then attaching the video. Downloading and uploading files to the PC is better with Android device because the phone just looks like external USB drive when connected. Finally, the elephant in the room is the price. Buying iPhones outside the US is even more expensive then in the US and buying the basest Apple ecosystem (iPhone+MacBook air) is twice the cost of comparable ecosystem (I use Asus ZenFone+TUF laptop) and I get a laptop that's good enough for gaming as a bonus. I also require a Windows PC for work so the MacBook would be in addition to the TUF.
The more and more I use Android and iPhone side by side while travelling I am drawn to iPhone because of camera shutter and video smoothness. Everything else is caught by Android I guess. Oh yeah. the face ID which works in dark, with cap, glasses, Apple Pay, Hide my email, Login with Apple ID. These are some of the best features. No match on Android side as per me.

Rejoice, RCS is almost here that removes your primary draw to iOS.
Whatever said here only applies in the US, I have been using Iphones for a long time but only 1 year ago I used iMessage quite briefly, plus allot of apps are more optimized to Android than Apple, it's easier and more fluid in an Android than Apple
Im sticking with Android. I switched over from iPhone. And honestly i'm never going back. I love my Pixel. I definitely don't care about the blue and green bubble debate. Its stupid i don't care about what others have to say

How does iPhone has good build quality? The back is glass. You drop it. It will break. I had an iPhone and the battery expanded causing the screen to come off.
Which iPhone did you have?
Your first point about videos and images being low res in Android and needing some special data channel just shows you're ignorant.
The only thing I can agree to is App Optimization.
I've owned a lot of tech for decades now.
Have almost every single Apple product.
The S22 Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro were my first Androids that I've used seriously [used Samsung's Note 7 before going back to my iPhone].
I just feel that a lot of apps works far, far better on iPhones.
My sister bought the iPhone 15 [just because of the Pink Colour lol].
RUclips, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, Google Drive, Pinterest, Spark Mail etc, worked far better than on my S22 Ultra.
And I'm not gonna lie, I couldn't believe I was using a Phone with 60Hz Display, because everything felt really smooth and fluid.
The only time you even notice the iPhone 15 has a 60Hz Refresh Rate is when you scroll up or down real fast.
Imagine all the android customization+SPen+iOS Privacy and Stability on one device ❤
Nah, I just switch from iPhone to Android, boy how much a relief. Not falsely lied to with sense of security which is not secure.
As not in the US, apps in some countries come in Android first then iPhone.
This was a really good video. I currently use an Android phone and (despite having worked for Apple in two of their stores as a post-retirement job) have never owned an iPhone. I'm considering a switch, and you make some really good points in this video as to why that might not be a bad idea. Good stuff!
Trust me when i tell you, if you switch to iphones you will like them they're good phones but they are very boring and limited. If you're ok with that you might use it for a couple of years but you will go back to android because of their innovation and the fact that they are so open and you can do whatever you want with your phone. (coming from an iphone 14 pro max user) soon switching to the s24 ultra :)
@@largon2008 That's the thing man. I'm primarily an Android user. And sometimes little quality of life issues stack up over here and remind my why the seamless functionality of the iPhone is so nice. So I switch back. Then I wanna play Ocarina of Time on an emulator on my phone. Ooof can't do that. lol If you're willing to put up with the occasional OS kinks on Android, it's honestly worth it. You have more options for platform integration (Google, Microsoft, etc.) instead of being shoe-horned into ONLY using the Apple platform. That being said, you're also able to use those things on iPhone and STILL have access to iCloud and things. It's a very complicated debate lol.
@davidlindsey5363 Yeah, Apple is only so "nice" and smooth cause of the safe 60 hz screen, basic functionality, and the limitation of customization.
@largon2008 did you make the switch? And I agree iPhones are very boring and money hungry things. What made me shift away from apple is the serialization of the devices, the fact that you gotta pay for iCloud Storage for photos and files, and limited customization. Might I add that you can't even freaking get at least 90 hz for the new base model iPhone 15
that's the reason why I switch over to iOS too, the little things that some folks may not care. how the animations work, fluidity, coherence, overall feel. although I sacrificed battery but it helped me be mindful with how I consumed tech be more present in real life, make my device just a tool. plus the 2nd hand market and tech support is great here.
My thoughts exactly 🙌🙌
Thought about switching to android, but I have like 6k pics and videos that if I transfer using Google photos, I can no longer send them to iOS via texts
I feel like a lot of your concerns will be addressed if you use a Pixel?
I’ve tried the Pixel. I would much prefer the S22 Ultra though if I had to switch.
@@TheTechMillennial the s23 will solve 90 percent of what u said the 8 gen 1 chip is trash
The part for iMessage is complete BS. Comparing iMessage with MMS is complete nonsence. Nobody, Nobody sends media via MMS!!! You mentioned yourself - WhatsUp, Telegram, Viber, etc. etc. this is what Android users are using and they do the job perfectly. Not saying that iMessage is bad, it is very good, but comparing it to MMS is silly.
As someone who only uses discord and messenger to keep in touch with friends I don't think I'll ever switch from Android
Been an Android user from the beginning and love it (team Samsung) . However, I have also been a Mac user (exclusively) since the early 90s and I would like to experience the full ecosystem. Waiting for the release of the iPhone 15, to take the plunge.
I'm in exactly the same boat (though I have a Pixel, not a Samsung)
I’ve been in the opposite boat. Apple eco system for over 10 years and I’m tired of thinking it’s the best. I genuinely think anything other than apple sucks. So I’m planning to quit apple and go all in on Android/windows. I’ll make a video on it soon.
@@thesamuelnamBoth Chromebooks and Windows laptops are well-compatible with Any Android device. You can Use your Android device with any iMac/MacBook, but I don't think it's worth it.
Excuse my ignorance but the mac has been out since the 90s? 😮😮😮
Woow!
@@thesamuelnamooh, please do. 😊😊
Always very nice edits on your vids.
After >10 years of Android phones (mostly Samsung) I switched to a 13PM in 2021 and I still enjoy the IOS experience. Not missing anything - no regrets.
I am thinking of switching for a variety of reasons but mostly for things like app optimization, camera, iMessage, and facetime. My frustrations stem from how divided both operating systems are but ultimately if I had to switch I want to become an iOS user.
Is the switch easy?
I am sort of nervous because I feel like the transition would be really difficult
that is surprising after how garbage the ios experience has become over the years, loved loved loved iOS for years up until the past cpl major updates. That and the design language starts to look incredibly outdated after seeing the same icons for the past 10 years.
I just brought iphone 15 pro max from s20 ultra had enough of it and my last iPhone was iphone 6
Couldn't disagree more. Switched to iPhone after 12 years and just realised how delusional I was with those fancy gimmick features of android. I'd rather have consistent, reliability and speed then a full loaded gimmick android which becomes trash after 1 year
You see I love apple but, for example, I also miss being able to download apps to get free ringtones. And more freedom of customization, but it has been along time since I owned an android phone in the first, which was from a pretty crappy, android phone to an iPhone 6s and I can tell you it was an astronomical difference and upgrade. I’ve been looking at new phones like the Samsung galaxy S 23 and comparing them to my new iPhone 14 promax and iPhone such as xiaomi and oppo or whatever they are. And I can tell you that I’m happy with my purchase of the iPhone 14 promax it is just a great all-around phone to carry in my pocket every day, and although there are small places where android beats Apple, nothing beats Apple software and the seamless design and optimization of it they put so many hours of work in to. So Apple versus android I think it really depends on you like you said, I like this channel and I have subscribed I hope to see you go farther. Thank you. Have a great day.
You do realize that application developers that create the apps that you use don't actually work at apple, nor apple does any part in optimizing the apps, it's just that we know you guys are morons that pay for the apps so we make sure that they are more stable there so you can keep paying for most of the stuff that we release for free on android.
Android has the same feature as Apple iMessage. It's called the RCS message protocol. With the RCS message protocol, you can get the same features as Apple's iMessage, including typing indicators and the ability to send photos and videos over Wi-Fi and mobile data. With the upcoming iOS 18, Apple is going to adopt the RCS message protocol.
That is borderline unsub material if you basicly say "you stay on iOS/iMessage, because that is using the internet, while a android using MMS for mediashare"...
I literally explained in the video WHY that’s important (to me). Being able to send full resolution pictures and videos to family members is important to me. Doesn’t have anything to do with internet, etc. but MMS does have limitations which is what I was explaining.
@@TheTechMillennial are people really using MMS in the US? I think I've sent the last one 10 years ago here in Germany 😅 Regarding the full resolution sharing: it'd still be possible to share the pics and videos via Google Photos (i.e. by sharing the link via any kind of messaging app). That's more or less as "built-in" into android devices as iCloud is in iOS.
Same story for passwords by the way when you're logged into your Google Account on a PC or alike.
Yeah, majority of population just uses the built in messaging app so SMS, MMS or iMessage. Nobody really uses whatsapp or anything here. And I don’t think a Google link drive is the same as just sending a picture in the message thread lol. Especially for older people like if I’m sending a video to my parents, they’re not about to mess with Google drive links, etc lol
@@TheTechMillennial I'm not talking about a drive link, but a photos link. It'll open up right in the photos app just like your local photos. We share pictures that way with our 75+ year old grand parents on a regular basis. It'll even allow them to add their own pictures to the shared albums of holiday trips or alike. That's also working on iOS btw. You may want to at least try it before claiming MMS as the android standard. Nobody in their right mind will send a 1 minute video via MMS.
@@TheTechMillennial "Doesn’t have anything to do with internet" vs your own made and edited video at 04:04.
Let me ask:
-if you buy an iPhone, and do not put into it any SIM or eSIM, and do not connect to wifi/internet, would you be able to send that 195 MB/s 4k video of yours to anywhere? NO! Android is the same? Yes
-Would you be able to recive/send bad quality images through an iPone as well as on an android if you only have cell connection with MMS enabled, but without an internet plan? Yes
- Are there multiple solutions on both platforms where you can send, share non-copressed media over mobile data-plans, or wifi, other than iMessage? Yes
-Was your point fair in the video, about the capabilities of both systems in this regards? No
-If everyone who matters to you is on one platform, easier to stay on that, meaning if family stays, easier for you to stay? SURE! But please, keep the technologies, and the personal preferences in a different room, and do not state "iMessage is better over the internet, because android, with MMS only, sucks..."
I don't think Android is on the decline. It appears to me this video is just another Apple Fanboy promoting the iPhone.
You can choose where you place any shortcut widget on the top down menu on iPhone. Just go to settings. That’s the only mistake I could see in this video. Subscribed.
No hate but this video just screams "im basic, now let me validate it" almost all of these things are pretty subjective. The objective truth is that iphones is that they are solid, basic phones. You are never going to get anything special from iphone. Its always going to be catching up to insanely useful features that other phones have had for years already. Cant sideload apps. Face unlock is the only biometric option. File browsing is awful. Insanely limited customization. No expandable storage. And i actually dont agree on intuitive featues. Apple is something you have to get use to. My parents never got use to ios and they had it for 4 years, when we switched phones, got them android and they adapted within a few days. Sure they could use basic apps but any kind of features were lost on them. I dont think apple is hard to use, but its not like riding a bike, takes some time to adapt. Im saying all of this and i dont hate apple. I actually have an M1 macbook and its one of my favorite pieces of tech. I just dont like apple's approach to phones
Okay. You prefer a back button rather to quickly slide from the side. Like dude...
Just preference. I like how the iPhone you can slide back the layer, it feels more natural.
I live in Canada (nova Scotia) and it’s incredibly popular here and Canada in general as well, same with Apple Pay etc
Yesterday was my birthday and I got my first iPhone which was an iPhone 14 and I love it and I am never switching back.
happy birthday :)
you will ggggg
@@basementcattiger6231 thanks bro stay bless
iPhone cannot even download in the background no mp3 ringtone, and cannot even move apps anywhere. Android is way easier to use
I need to a modern Android to get the best of both worlds. Keep exploring. Make sure Android and Apple are serving you, and not the other way around.
Apple fans defend iPhone with their arguments... Can't do anything... All I say is, just use some budget 200$ Android for a month and you'll realise the amount of functionalities you get and how easy your life is gonna become
Honestly, there is no right answer & I think it depends on what you value and what's important to you on whether Apple or Android is better. I used the original iPhone to the 4S, and I just felt like they weren't doing any type of innovation/significant change. But recently my dad got an iPhone 15 Pro Max, so I got to takeover his iPhone 12 Pro Max. The time with it has just reinforced what I think the pros/cons of each:
The pros for Android is the customization, being able to have 5-6 icons in a row, clicking/dragging music/movies from my external hard drive and putting it onto my phone. It is just a lot EASIER on Android, then it is on an iPhone. Also as a guy who has multiple Line, FB, etc accounts its easier on Android bc I can do dual apps etc. Charging is another area where Android is becsause you can supercharge your phone a lot faster. Android also comes in more variety of sizes and now with foldables, there is just more out there.
For iPhones, I myself like the haptic feedback when typing as well as the sounds that you hear when sending/receiving messages/notifications etc. I would also say that iPhones look/feel premium and thr resale value is CRAZY when compared to Android which decreases in price from day 1. Other people would bring up Facetime, iMessage, Air Drop and the Apple Ecosystem, but I don't have a Mac, iPad etc so this doesn't apply to me.
Anyways, at the end of the day, it just depends on what makes you happy❤
If you are switching BACK to iPhone, how could you have been an Android user?
I am 6 years iphone users and switch to android last week…. Damn what a wasted 6 years 😢😢
This is my experience. First iOS device was a 12 - which I still have because
1. my kid's schools force them into iPads from Grade 4 all the way to Year 9.
2. because we use the apple family safety features - my wife and I both gave up our S series Galaxy's for an 11 for my wife and a 12 for me
3. My prev Gen 1 series only has apple car play - no android auto unless I spend a lot of cash on an adaptor that will force iDrive to work with Android Auto - or I get a new car
4. I have a crappy Motorola g31 that I got for free running Android 12 and just for a laugh - I put my SIM card into it and daily drove it for a week. The entire Android experience is so much better than Apple (I don't do social media like FB, TikTok etc so I don't care about the lower quality camera photos when using the Whatsapp camera vs the native camera) - just having notifications that make sense, or not having to navigate that stupid setting screen to change something instead of just changing it in the app then and there makes Android superior in usability.
I've been watching more and more videos of iOS vs Android - I think I might trade in the 12 for a Pixel 8 now that they've said they will be supporting it for 7 years of Android updates.
No man, I was every time switching between iphone and android and I would say that it today is much more personal choice….i prefer iOS because the UI/UX…for me is incomparable, the only android that would give a good experience as iOS is google pixel, but they have a poor chipset nowadays.
@@SamoelFilho yeah - the Tensor 3 is disappointing and I've heard the battery life on the 8 is not great.
Why?
Got an S24 and a Samsung Watch 6 Classic a few weeks ago - traded in my 12 , my iWatch and my wifes 11 at the apple store.
I miss the iWatch -I think the sensors on the iWatch are more accurate than the Samsung watch (but I prefer a circular watch shape than the square iWatch - and would have kept the iWatch if it worked fully with an Android phone - but it doesn't so I figured I'd use it to get some money back for it) and of course I have broken all the iMessage group chats - but other than that - am very happy with the S24 - even though in Australia we get the shit Exynos processor not the Snapdragon. I couldn't stretch the budget to a S24 Ultra - and to be honest - I prefer the smaller form factor - and I don't see myself ever using the pen and simply don't want to have to fit such a large device into my pocket.
I buy Apple phone 2 days later i learned everything and phone start getting bored. I buy Android phone 1 year late i still learning some available options. Just customizations i can talk for days what phone can do.
Exactly .. If you noticed . Some apple users don't even know how to navigate their own phone settings .
Also I like to tinker a lot with my home screen setups mostly every week . Can't stay stuck with the same setup . If I'm gonna pay all that money for a phone I should be able to change settings my way
S-Beam be like, it's only been 21 years, give them some time to figure it out.
Also, it's all about privacy when you realize that apple keeps a copy online of every single file that you have on the device so i can deliver it in 4k to any other iphone user.
Annoying thing I have experienced with iPhones are
1. Doesn't have torrent app
2. Offline music or video player
Apple's big advantage is that they produce as well hardware and software. Android does not have that, its a "one fits all" - solution since the software has to be able to handle a huge variety of hardware. Thats why iOS UI feels so smooth and android often does not.
Therefore I have high expectations of Google's Pixel-phones.
iMessage seems to be an US-only problem. Over here in Europe we use Whatsapp or RCS and it works perfectly fine.
In fact iMessage is one of Apple's tricks to keep ppl within the ecosystem, while refusing to go with the trend.
To me Apple has become uninnovative.
They did not want to use USB-C, they sell old hardware for high prices, they dont pick up "new" technology like RCS (Google introduced RCS in 2015 i believe...) and so on.
Sure with iOS you get decent battery life, good camera and an overall smooth system. But you got that with the last 10 versions of iPhone too.
There is a ton of features android offers for years that never made it into apples ecosystem.
There is nothing really new, nothing really exciting. iPhones are boring and for the most part outdated.
Reliability and speed is number 1 for me on a phone. I don't care for "exciting" features that I'll never use. No phone will impress me like booting up my windows pc and having hundreds of apps open will.
@@portman8909iPhone literally restricts 'back' swipe only to one side lol(To make it ridiculous, left side lol) and still uses their ridiculous notch!
@@portman8909 iOS, like android, is based on GNU Linux. Dont bring up windows in this.
But of course, if you don't have high expectations of a phone and are happy to pay twice as much for half the performance - go for it.
@@Austria002 IOS uses unix and Android is googlefied Linux. It doesn’t really matter what they are. My desktop machine is far more capable than any flagship phone today. For both productivity and gaming. It’s not even close. Show me a phone that plays division 2 1440p at 165 fps?
@@portman8909 What in the world are you talking about? You are comparing a windows desktop PC to mobile devices running an entirely different system with an entirely different purpose. This topic here is about phones, not PCs
Feel free to carry a PC with you, id rather stick to a phone for being on the go and leave the PC in my office.
I wish Apple used their UX research to make iOS as intuitive to navigate around as Android. If they fixed this and also added features that should've been common sense by now that are present on Androids, then WAAAAY more people would use them. Apple's hardware and build quality is already peak, all they need to do is implement this stuff and a lot more Android users would be converted.
iPhones last me 6-7 years. Longest I’ve had a android was 2

Great video quality and editing
Joe will be happy for an iphone
But chad need something that have a full control on it.
I've been enjoying Samsung and choosing it over iPhone for the past decade but in the past year, media sharing on Android has begun affecting my professional work. I've also moved home and all of my family and friends are on iPhone. I used to sneer at the peer pressure but for the first time I'm actually feeling inferior on my android... I also went from a flagship Samsung to the FE and a lot of apps I use on a daily basis are buggy and I'm tired of it. I recently switched back to Mac, and I've been enjoying my iPad pro since 2018. Though it feels like I'm joining a cult, I'm ready to embrace the ecosystem (never thought I'd say it kinda makes me feel queasy 😂)
I've been patiently waiting for type c and other features to finally come through on the iPhone and the time is here. Haven't had a iPhone since 5th gen, now I'll be switching back for iPhone 15.
Tell your experience here!
@@lucaswild i’ve been very happy with the iPhone 15 Pro Max! It is very heavy compared to even my largest Samsung, but it’s a compromise for the beautiful quality and performance. I do feel that the 5X zoom is a bit of a gimmick. I’m a photographer and I love using my phone on the fly, but I find that in many real world applications where I would rather use my phone over my camera, the 5X zoom is a little too close, and I find myself, wishing that I could use the 2X without it being a digital crop. Besides that, the quality has been great for my work in social media. What’s most important is the video quality since that is the preferred format and that has been leaps and bounds beyond any, android that I have previously owned. There have been some software glitches, but nothing as bad as what I experienced on android.
As for the ecosystem, I’m really loving the functionality between my devices. It’s made me much more productive. I do feel the capitalist scheme working on me though lol. I was perfectly happy to stay with my Samsung watch. I prefer the look of them quite a bit to the Apple Watch, however, since I’ve gotten into using things like Apple health and having watched the release trailer for the new Apple Watch I feel, a sudden desire.
The only thing I won’t break on is the AirPods. After looking into them for my boyfriend‘s birthday and going through all the specs, I realized that even a Samsung buds model from years ago, outperforms the standard AirPods, and I simply refuse to pay all that money for the AirPods Pro, when people say that the quality is mediocre and I can get the same benefits out of my Samsung buds that I already own.
There are some minor things that I miss about the android experience, but I expected this, and it’s nowhere near as bad as I feared it would be. I find that iOS and One UI have become quit similar experiences these days, with the only major differentiation being the ecosystem.
Wow, I just noticed this video was a year ago. The iPhone has changed so much with the new iOS 18. I’m running the beta right now and is there’s a lot of change.
Sorry for your loss 😢
I am locked in Android ecosystem because of I need to install Linux software on my rooted android. So my system is hard to re build on Iphone. Iphone build quality is crappy, Iphone iMessage sucks, Iphone camera is okay from Sony . But the gold of Iphone is the SoC, so much efficient no need big battery. If they make Iphone that run android I would buy it. I really like Apple they make few products but their profit is gold I have AAPL shares since 2016 the growth is more than gold
I honestly dont blame you, ive been thinking about switching back to iphone as of late. Ive been with android user for a soild 8 years now. But yeah Android is becoming super dull... Also ive notice quite a bit of crashing,bugs, battery just isnt that good, stand by as well. Getting videos in messages on Android from iphone is horrid, I'm glad you pointed that out!! Definitely such an annoyance considering that my family uses iPhones. It's gotten so bad I just ignore the videos now. But its the same thing vice versa sending a video to a iPhone user its just as bad 😂 The refinements on Apple has gotten so much better then the 11,12,13 iterations!! Now Samsung is literally taking the same page out of Apple's book Since Galaxy s22ultra and now with the s24 ultra coming out it's literally the same phone as s22 ultra. So 3 years now with the exact same body refinements what a joke😅 android is only better then iphone in The aspect of it's not locked or limited within its OS and customization, charging speeds, multitasking! That's honestly it though, iphone is WAY MORE POLISHED on the OS, better battery life,BETTER STAND BY TIME, better ecosystem,better apps, magsafe is super dope,iMessage is way better then RCS gimmick! 😂 Currently on a fold 5 and at first i loved it but now just bored, along with my annoyances from andriod. Really thinking about getting the iphone 15 pro max.
I just got the 24 ultra, amazing phone, but the ergonomics suck! I can't even hold this thing in 1 hand...
I switched recently to apple from android and I can say that the only thing that bothers me is the fact that every app that on android is free on iOS it is not!
Which app is not free can u please mention them
@@mohitbajaj6532you got a point here but i do not care about this!
What I love most about IPhone is how easy it is to connect with other IPhone users when your in a group chat or FaceTime it’s amazing how great and high quality the videos and pictures are
Android users don’t get to experience that but at least android phones have great battery life and they can download music and emulators
Started on an Evo 4G with Sprint, and ended on a Galaxy Note 8. Switched to iPhone 13 mini, and never looked back.

Keeping fine with the iPhone for atleast 6 years
When you wake up one day as a Android man then switching to the iPhone then you ask yourself I'm an apple sucker😅😅
Back to Android. I only left because I had heard the rave reviews of the iphone camera, and Android, circa Pixel 3, was pretty horrible. Pixel Fold for me now. I still think the Pixel camera is better. I'm in the Google drive system, and photo uploads from iphone to drive, is a pain.
How did you get those 4 apps on your iPhone home screen to stay towards the bottom right? That's one of the main reasons i didn't like my iPhone. The apps always go to the top.
same question. new iphone user here. less than 24 hours but i am totally loving it!
Same. Can somebody answer that? That's one of the things that drives me insane about iOS.
It could be empty widget
@@brewski13I think he said it was an app called widgy
Everything you said about why you like iPhone over android is spot on .im an android fan myself that’s why I’m really hoping google takes a page out of apple book
The EU will require Apple to allow sideloading due to anti-monopoly policies, if it gets to the point Android is, the little robot may be in danger. To those who don't remember apple had a competitor before android debuted (besides WinMobile and blackberryOS) Symbian was a monster ahead of its time android brought app permissions in 2013, Symbian had it in freaking 2007! The Nokia 5800 was the only time iPhone was outnumbered in sales. I grew up using android, but if iOS will allow sideloading just like android does, sign me up for it, hell I would pay the premium! I always have been an apple fan because the iPod has been a gadget that was around my entire life, even to this very day, no device sounds better
Isheep spotted. I have the 13 PM and 15PM yet i use my other android flagships phones more. The last i used my 15PM was 3 months ago and it's inside the box😂
I love the granularity and control that Android provides. It's also very intuitive, nimble and street smart while being cheap and cheerful. The Google ecosystem is so flexible and open too. iPhone is robust, tightly integrated and just works while being a bit outdated and dumb. Hardware and OS stability, performance and security despite it being walled garden is another factor. That's why even old people use iPhones. Lastly, the tangible benefit of iPhone is app data backup which Android lacks. All being said, I will stick with and swear by Stock Android for as long as they are available and affordable. iPhone is really for happy and rich people having all the time and bliss in this world. Hey Google!
Google Pixel has a full phone backups
@@wojtek_sanitarnik The backup should be ecosystem based, something that Apple does best. In Android some devices may have complete native "transfer stuff from old phone to new phone" but they would only be useful if you have the phone in hand (what if phone is lost, destroyed..?). I have not tried this.
On the Pixel phones, I do own one (Pixel 3), I have not seen any native backup to/restore from the cloud capability that backs up Pixel entirely including Pixel's App data (like Apple does from iCloud), nor have I seen any native phone to phone transfer utility as quoted in my first paragraph.
What then remains is the generic Android options of 1) transferring from old device to new device (either wirelessly or via cable) or 2) pull from Google Account, either from a) Google cloud account, or from b) Google account device backups.
Either way these Android backup restore options do not restore App data to new phone. The only App data restored if Google account device backup option is chosen (2 b above) is SMS and Call history but no other app data is restored besides sync of native Google apps data (Contacts, Calenders, Gmail..).
So bottom line is that Android needs to work on App data backup and restore feature. Currently it requires extensive technical ability such as rooting your phone and use of third party apps in order to do App backup. These fragmented way of performing backups keeps Android to second place to Apple in this backup/restore capabilities.
old people that use iPhones for simplicity, use it because all they do on it what they did on Nokia 3310 :)
Security on iPhone? :)))) don't make me laugh... did you see the new hackaton this year? There were multiple vulnerabilities found on iPhone 14's
There were also hacks and malware on all Apple devices throughout the years. Not sure what you're smoking but for over 6-7 years, there are just as many malware and security issues as on android or windows etc.
In the past there were less security issues, because there were less people using apple devices so hackers didn't really care.
Do you know why android doesn't have data backups, it's not that it can't do it, but it's actually a privacy issue, unlike apple, we don't brag about privacy we offer it by example.
In order to have your data restored across devices that means that it sits somewhere, you can trust it's encrypted, but unless you use your own gpg key, it's most likely still readable from the person that encrypted it for it, so yeah...a tit for tat the next time you decide to take a photo of your child, or save some important document, big brother is watching.
While us pleb poor android users, we just buy from the store, flash it just in case, and live a happy life. (not saying some android phones don't do it as well) It's just that we have the option to fix it, while you don't, and you pay for it.
I said it in 2009, and I’ll say it in 2024…fragmentation has always and will forever always be it’s Achilles heel. Open source is good if your a tech nerd and developer. Most users, regardless of country and region simply aren’t. For those of you who aren’t, iOS is by FACT a better OS for the daily average user who does NOT build apps, or is a developer, and again even if I’m being generous and say 10% of the total population, that leaves 90% of you out there who aren’t. The reason anyone outside of the US uses Android has nothing to do with anything related to iOS, but due to pricing, market costs, and carrier subsidies here in the states vs not having that in most European countries. When your buying a phone outright, an Android will ALWAYS be cheaper than an Apple device. That is why android is more popular outside the states. Here, you can get an iPhone 15 pro max for $30/ month. That’s mostly a US marketing thing because here, we finance literally everything these days. Has less to do with preference and more of what the average user can afford.
I've used both over the years. I use one for a few years then switch back to the other. For a long time iPhone was stagnant but then with the X they suddenly started moving forward again and now both the hardware and software are very compelling.
I'm currently on Android but plan to move to iPhone towards the end of the year, God willing.
I've been using either old flagships or budget phones for the past 4 years and I'm tired of mediocre cameras. There's nothing in the current mid range android segment that's any good.
They all have weak CPU, very bad cameras, awful video and plastic build. And are not cheap anymore. Most don't even have headphone jacks or SD card slots either.
So I'm going to buy the best iPhone I can afford, whether that's the latest iPhone 16 or the 13 or 14. I want to do the same for my wife so we're on the same platform. She prefers iPhones anyway.
One important note: I will still be using Google Photos for my storage and backup.
The reason for this is because if I switch back to Android at a few years it's VERY DIFFICULT to get your photos out of icloud. And Notes too
You cannot get them out without a Mac, it's crazy. Whereas Google makes it very easy to export all your stuff on any pc and gives it to you in zips you download. Super easy. No lock in.
I'll just use iCloud for sync and phone backup on the free tier.
As far as the OS goes I do think iOS tends to implement features which are more wanted and used by consumers: facetime and iMessage, using your iPhone as a camera on your Mac or apple TV, memoji, setting your own unique contact card, easy sharing of contact details, lock screen customisation, bedtime clock, SOS assist, fall detection, crash detection, sharing location with a loved one, UWB to find your pods or keys or wife in a shopping centre, fast awesome cameras that always get a great shot boo matter what, top tier video quality, appealing curved phone design , fluid animations, on device Siri, airdrop
These are quality of life details that matter more than being able to do OTG, or being able to fold the phone, or change an icon.
iOS now seems to focus on your interaction with people and also with your health. Android focuses on tech specs and how this device can fold.
At the end of the day the focus on people and interacting with them easily, with high quality photos and documents, with ease of use are what matters more.
And Google in future is making the same mistake. It's going all in on Ai but that won't help human interaction in any meaningful way. It won't detect if I've had an accident or make it easy to video call someone or send them a video, picture or memoji.
Google Fit is a joke next to Apple Health and so is android TV next to Apple TV.
Apple enables lifestyle whereas Android is more about giving you the basic tech so they can advertise to you and use you as Ai guinea pigs to make them more money.
Only Samsung really focuses on users and quality of life but it still came measure Apple's offerings and services, and only the premium Samsung devices get this.
The A55 costs €550 here in Cyprus and had a weak CPU and shit cameras. For €549 I can get a new 128gb iPhone and for €619 an iPhone 13.
Both of which kill the Samsung. Plus in a few years I can trade in the iPhone for a new one, but Samsung doesn't have that here.
If Apple would bring back the iPhone SE with the 6.1 screen, A15, a great single camera with wireless charging and magsafe, and price it at €450 for 128Gb they would decimate the budget Android market in the EU, US and many other markets, including India.
So many people want iPhone but can't afford it, so a modern SE with that price would wipe out all Android sales from €350 and up.
Only the very cheap €300 and below android phones would be left....
For me it’s Continuity between the OS and Hardware Apple makes both and that’s important to me as they can get the most out of their hardware… its always been like that for me
Apart from The Worst Keyboard In The World And Lack Of Customization Options for Ringtone And alarms
Same for me. Continuity and AirDrop - copy text on iOS and paste it into Mac, Scan Document and save it directly into Mac-Folder, Send pdf from WhatsApp to iPad without Internet Connection is regularly very useful to me. That keeps me from switching to Android for good.
I had an iPhone 11 Pro Max for about 5 months and the only reason was my business partner at the time he had used an iPhone and I was like well if you buy me one that's fine but I really don't want one. And the craziest part about it is thankfully I never owned an iPhone so I wasn't in that stupid phase that most of iPhone users are. Where they think the phone is the best no matter what and they don't even bother looking at other phones lol. I can't believe the amount of people who are iPhone users don't realize they're getting charged for apps that are totally free like it's the same exact app but you're getting charged five bucks a month who the hell does that money go to.
as much as i love apple, android systems are better suited for AI technology
Yep yep..I kept giving IOS chance..but keep coming back to android
I can so relate to this - I am not even from the US but have so many friends & relatives that iMessage has become an integral part of how we communicate. To add to it my entire family uses iPhone here in India which means iCloud, Photos, every other accessory & device is Apple. I want to switch to Android and try to keep doing it, actually wasting more money simply because I love the customization and freedom it offers. But ultimately, I have to switch back, every single time.
I am watching this in 2024 and it's safe to say with new updates on the s23 ultra some of things you said based on your feelings as being better has been really much improved on the s23. But iPhone is also really good with their work no doubt.
Longevity. Been using an iPhone 11 and still works better than most top of the line android phones
Multitasking is still poop in iphones and some banking apps I use are still not available on apple store. Scrolling and animations may feel fluid but they're too slow for me who prefers faster animations and there's no universal back button on iOS
The iOS is neither Simple nor a great experience, I have seen new iPhone lag so many times I can't believe it. Also the lack of a F**KING BACK GESTURE is annoying as hell R.I.P one handed use. Google photos is good enough to back up things and Customisation is a nightmare on iOS. Many basic features are missing from the phones which is too annoying for me.
That was the best intro ever….
I used to use an ipad from apple the only apple product i owned
Problem with switching to iPhone is locking down yourself into an echo system. You can't easily get out. My biggest deal breaker with iPhone is lightning port. Thats most annoying thing for consumers. Plus buying it for 1000$ without a charger in the box ? Too much...no thanks i will stick with Android.
RCS comes to iPhone in a couple months, so then you can send full resolution pictures and videos
