@@jevonsims900 what???? 1. They don't run slightly different ui, how good it will be if that were the case 😅 And no, I am not talking about the normal miui theme.. That looks okay, and it is actually maybe a cheap second copy of iOS in the first place. What I am talking about are about some ugly themes and icon packs with strong colors, 0 contrast etc that made a rappers body filled with tattoo a tastefully art piece.

And latest IOS customization makes it look like the worst of design made 8 years ago by some teen....
Android has the customization colors pre determined mainly because of contrast. The whole point of Material You is to give the users freedom to choose themes and colors, but keeping the entire system UI coherent and accessible, so that every text/icon is readable. That's why Android doesn't have a color and saturation slider. Apple decided to add this feature by giving the user the slider, which is a very lazy way of implementing customization.
Material you theming in Android isn't superficial, just the icons. You can see wallpaper colour changing in the entire system and within an app. For example gboard.
The default pastel colors are the main design flaw most people complain about concerning Material You. Having a red and black theme ends up as black and pastel pink.
Highly disagree. I think the color sliders are great and perhaps google should include them too on top of what they have. Customization and controls are always a nice thing to have. Maybe they don't speak much to you, but for me, it's a great thing to have.

iOS has always been better for apps than Android, because it’s one company with one phone and one eco system which allows for easier programming, but for Android is harder because theres literally hundreds and hundreds of 3rd party phones that uses Android OS thus making it hard for devs to ensure their software works well on any phone that uses Android OS.

A lot of those exclusive features you mentioned are already on my android 14. The screen recording for example, the vibration too and the volume 🧐🤨. Google pixel 6 pro
As someone who used iOS up till the iPhone X and only recently switched back a couple weeks ago. This is exactly it. iOS is just a pleasure to use. The UI just looks and feels nice. And for most people iOS has already had the important features for a while now.
@@left4deadR You don’t have to be a sheep to appreciate and know the reason so many people still buy iPhones. In most cases that people I sold iPhones to it was largely cause they had poor experiences on android either recently or at some point. And iOS is known for largely just working without too much fuss. On top of that the way Apple designs its UI and animations is very appealing. It makes the phone feel smooth even on 60hz models. Android needs 120hz to feel smooth in my experience. And to add to that just because someone doesn’t agree with you on a subjective preference doesn’t mean they’re a sheep. I could call a lot of Android (Especially Samsung and Google phones) and Apple users sheep by your logic. There are obviously the hyper fans in all groups that will never accept a fault in their favorite brand’s products, but Apple users aren’t want worse than Samsung or Pixel users in this regard. They’re all annoying idiots. lol
I use the same. My major issue with iOS is the basic stuff. Notifications are so much better on Android, keyboard still has no numbers row, gesture navigation is great on Android. I also don't like that you need to buy a pro version to get 120hz and always on display and the pro-chip. It just seems like Samsung gives you so much more for less money.
@@hhhmmmmmmmm you're absolutely right, there are so many things that still making me use my Galaxy as my daily phone but at the same time apple does their stuff in "apple way" which makes everything work quite refined and i also enjoy that. But yes as i said my Android is the one i always carry around
@@alibaimani1341 for me, reminders in calendar is great. For some reason Siri loves the words "remind me" n always works for that. The voice recorder transcription is also needed. That's what's so baffling about Apple, they create math notes which is amazing, but no numbers row or a pop-up calculator.
Fair detailed "new" update comparison. That's what people should take away from these comparisons and remember they aren't generally about general abilities and features.
IOS 18 beta is looking sooo good. Apple is more visually appealing to me in IOS 18. Animations look good too! Also widgets look SO MUCH BETTER on IOS. Apps in general too.
As a long term ios user I have to disagree. Ios is a mess even ios 18. Not as user friendly as your think it's a mess which is why I'm leaving it for android with the new pixel phones. I don't think I'll ever get another iPhone again.
@@illbet4589 i just think android is easier to navigate and when they release updates it's genuenly to make someone's life that bit easier. Ios do regular weekly updates but they're very minute changes. It doesn't even have a split screen which is annoying. It went downhill for me after ios 16. Also their stock apps are appalling. Mail I don't even get notifications I've even changed it on the settings and their maps is unusable for navigation since it's not synced to the device properly and at times takes you to the wrong location. I don't think they listen to their customers as much as android does.
I like your comparison, but, a better option would be to compare it against one ui instead of pixel os, as pixel os is the least feature rich os in all of android
The UI on iOS is very well-polished and organized, unlike Android, which can feel a bit cluttered and inconsistent. I really like the Meca Blur effect on iOS, while Material U on Android comes across as overly complex and somewhat incomplete Android’s UI offers a fast and streamlined experience, with a smart navigation system that’s very easy to use with one hand, which is the opposite of iOS. Moreover, Android provides several helpful features that make tasks easier, like the clipboard function on the keyboard...
When Pixel 9 series come out on the 13th of August, the Google AI features would make iOS look like child's play. Plus, most of the Apple AI features used in this video won't debut this year. When this comparison is done again, it will be an easy win for Android.
@@derrick_ofori I highly doubt that. The AI features that have been rumoured so far for android have not been anything spectacular. The iOS features while not released yet feel a lot promising and are actually helpful features not just gimmicks
@@aarchiiee Well, ATM, we know very little of what "Pixie" is going to be on the new Pixels. Also, even if we supposed that your assertion were true, we'd at least have those features of the Pixel in August as opposed to having very few or none of the AI features Apple mentioned that were used in this comparison. My point is, the comparison should have been based on what is available now, not on not-to-be-delivered-soon future promises. Moreover, ChatGPT isn't a part of "Apple Intelligence" (It's only an admission on Apple's part that their AI isn't as powerful as Gemini) why count that as a feature for Apple iOS when it's not even exclusive to it?
Apple cunningly announces that their Apple Intelligence isn't powerful enough, so they'd be outsourcing all the heavy liftings to ChatGPT- which although easily accessible on, but not exclusive to iOS nor Apple Intelligence - suddenly everyone is bumped about it pinning it ChatGPT as an Apple feature against Gemini. Really? In that case, Google Search has been the default search on Apple for the longest time, is that a feature of iOS as well? As we speak, ChatGPT is a tile in "control centre" on my Android phone, making it easier to use to some extent.
@@brunosco Well, thankyou for asking, allow me to explain. With any Apple device, you are dependant on their servers to form a connection be it IOS, IpadOS or MacOS. This means that once ur device is no longer supported by their servers, it basically bricks your machine. Android doesnt have this issue because you can jst download a alternate 3rd party launcher for ur device once its no longer getting updates, so aslong as you can still use wifi, you can use the device for most things. Hence the android being Your phone for as long as you want, and the iPhone being Apples for as long as they want.
@@watchout5508 Thanks for taking the time to explain, I had never really thought about that. Now I remember that for each newly acquired apple device (iPhone, at least), you need to register it to activate it. Is that it? But in practice, it’s been many years since myself and people around me have been using Apple devices, and it never happened that any device was bricked. On the other hand, they are all using the Find My feature, which can help find them back, or remotely erase the content and brick the device if it has been stolen, which not only protects our data, but also is a deterrent for thieves (at least in theory).
@@watchout5508 You don't sound like you've ever used any iOS devices. None of that is true. Also, even after the 5-7 years of feature updates, iPhones continue to get security updates for years. You also have an easy to use scripting language in the Shortcuts app. You can write programs on the iPhone to do all kinds of things. I have a script that turns off all my lights and makes sure the doors are locked when no one's home. Another to turn the lights on when I get home but only after the sun has set. A script to scan a document and OCR it then save the text as an editable document. One to split PDFs into individual pages and another to combine documents into a large PDF. My morning routine script plays after I turn off my alarm and tells me the current local weather, the weather forecast for the day, my calendar events for today and tomorrow then plays the local news' podcast of current events. The list of scripts goes on and on. iPhones are great for power users and can easily be customized for MY use. There's more to customizing a phone than just changing wallpapers and icons and silliness like that. I also have an Android phone and it's not as good at this stuff as the iPhone is. You can use Tasker to do some of what I listed above but it's not built into the OS and it's much harder to use.
As an ios and google user. I have to say ios 18 brings so much to ios that is a lil overwhelming. Now android 15 is more like android 14.1-14.5 nothing. In this update you hace to look for the new things. Nothing new to wow me. My big hope is the feature drops or galaxy with one ui 7.0
Because android already have all those. In 18th Gen apple mostly added a lot of basic stuffs. Now users are feeling that they got a lot of things. In android google changed it in 12. You cannot expect major changes every year. In iOS lat major overhaul was done in iOS 7 if I'm not wrong.
@@Gelembfi it's hurting apple only. They can't code ai, search engines, map There's not a single feature of iphone that's not in android. Android is miles ahead in terms of features. Apple brought widgets this year which Android had since a decade. We are levels ahead my dear kiddo
2:10 You can select and move apps on other androids. He's also doing as it you would on iOS, which doesn't work on android. iOS's version is also far inferior because you can only select apps from a single page, cannot deselect apps, cannot see the apps which you've selected as they're all under your finger, and you must keep your finger on the screen at all times. In general, the Google Pixel is a huge leg up from the iPhone but Samsung Galaxy is a huge leg up from the Pixel.
16:59 I wouldn't say it's the same, iOS allows to change the limit value which is much more handy. I prefer a limit of 85/90% instead of the 80% with no possibility of change.
I would say that it would be better if android and iOS focus on actually improving RCS chat conversation for at least a year until it is flawless between the two and maybe one or two other updates on their software but they should focus more on the RCS matter.
Please do a video on google messages vs whatsapp vs imessage, if possible, highlighting their unique features.. And also how a chromebook fits in a google ecosystem. Wonderful videos btw 🙂
@@abdullahbinshahid3199 yeah but when he says "android" doesn't have certain feature it just goes out as Android as a whole doesn't have it but that's not the case.
@@craz7644I honestly don't think Samsung wants Android as their brand. One UI is what they push, Pixel is the only phone that tags their software Android X, instead of One UI X with Android X. So when he says Android he's referring to the default Pixel software, if he said it wasn't available on One UI that would have been another topic.
As a long term Samsung user who just ordered his 1st ever Pixel. Some of the features you knocked Google for not having are available on Samsung. This is why it's difficult compare IOS to Android. It must be IOS to, what ever specific Android phone you're comparing, not Android as a whole because there's so many options.
The only thing I don't like is that you are saying "vs Android" but in reality it's vs Stock Android because Samsung One UI have more feature rich compared to stock OS.
It’s really Annoying that u guys say android is better and this and that and that these company’s did it first but iOS has been the industry for years and people need to accept that went iOS does features better than android. It’s the truth.
But still not copying the back gesture implementation. It's underratedly the best android feature And all the places where iOS was better than stock android, oneUI had that years prior and also did it better than both. I truly wished iOS 18 was compared to oneUI 😂
@@ifrankenstein7455 technically everything. Like the control panel, all the app icons and glyphs icons across the system, the weather app, the system widgets, and the whole app designs of almost all the system apps
I absolutely love Google pixel software but their hardware loss me as a customer. I returned to Apple iPhone simply for reliability. iOS is so restricting but I can make a phone call. I’m looking forward to iOS 18.
While iOS control centre might offer more I still find Android's version less cluttered and I can make more sense of it. I think Apple have gone a bit wild with the choices but it's not as orderly as Android...
This is why app developers focuses on ios because they don't want android to mess their apps with such customizations. I am no fan of both I only use what is available on my budget but I have both iphone and android. As long as it is a phone that can run social media apps, games and messaging apps I don't care what to use
For me ios is a big mess. Even ios 18. It's all over the place. As a long 5 year ios user, I'll be switching to the pixel 9 pro xl and retiring my 15 pro max. Regular updates weekly but no real changes to make your life easier. Ill never get an iPhone again.
@@Conannnnn Lucky (or not), I live in the UK and have only a few hot days, so heat isn't an issue. I heard the iPhone 16 Pros will get a new cooling system--I wonder if that will help
Its just annoying to me that android has much better features, but the design is way too clumsy, no attention to detail, way to playfull design and animations and its wierd colours and unserious icons. I have a samsung and one ui is a bit different but i could never switch to an pixel phone because its just a bit too much, rather i would take an iphone where it is at least all taken care and smooth animations with nice colours and attention to the detail
Although an Android fan, for widgets i would go with IOS because it's clean and although there are size limitations but who wants in various sizes widgets when the widget data is unreadable. ios widgets are more beautiful, professional and goes well with overall ui whereas Android i feel unpolished. and
iOS now features more Android features, which is appealing to Android users. I'm super upset of laggy Samsung's One UI on my flagship S23 Ultra phone, so I lose my fate on Samsung devs LOL, yes you will get a laggy Android only on Samsung phone, while my previous Xiaomi Mi 10S never lag with lower specs!
I appreciate ur work, Emad but I'm disappointed this time. It clearly shows how you haven't really dug deep into iOS. Also you are comparing early builds. Things are continuously changing in iOS 18 as the builds are progressing too. Hoping to see better researched videos from u in the future. (I'm not a hater. Just a guy who dailys both android and iPhone) Also, you should really check the dfull potential of shortcuts app which is a big plus of apple software
Android looks like a rookie developer was given the keys to do what they want. iOS looks like a professional developer took the OS serious and took his Time to make something look and act beautifully. Get an ugly ui that has more features that not everyone is going to use or get a beautifully designed OS with less features that actually all work as it should and will be used across your massive ecosystem? Hmmmmm i wonder which one i will choose.
Maybe this is subjective, you might prefer IOS but I don't think any feature is that bad at least in my samsung phone as you are saying. Again like I said it's subjective but I prefer function over form
I try to think of a good reasons people make these videos but i can never come up with one accept for the fact they always preach to android users about customization and that’s about it.

A lot of those exclusive features you mentioned are already on my android 14. The screen recording for example, the vibration too and the volume 🧐🤨. Google pixel 6 pro
where did u get the wallpaper u used on the pixel 8 pro
The cleanness of iOS is just mind blowing
No wonder even when iOS didn’t have any features at all, people still choose iOS
As someone who used iOS up till the iPhone X and only recently switched back a couple weeks ago. This is exactly it. iOS is just a pleasure to use. The UI just looks and feels nice. And for most people iOS has already had the important features for a while now.
isheep spotted
@@left4deadR You don’t have to be a sheep to appreciate and know the reason so many people still buy iPhones. In most cases that people I sold iPhones to it was largely cause they had poor experiences on android either recently or at some point. And iOS is known for largely just working without too much fuss. On top of that the way Apple designs its UI and animations is very appealing. It makes the phone feel smooth even on 60hz models. Android needs 120hz to feel smooth in my experience.
And to add to that just because someone doesn’t agree with you on a subjective preference doesn’t mean they’re a sheep. I could call a lot of Android (Especially Samsung and Google phones) and Apple users sheep by your logic.
There are obviously the hyper fans in all groups that will never accept a fault in their favorite brand’s products, but Apple users aren’t want worse than Samsung or Pixel users in this regard. They’re all annoying idiots. lol
@@-ThatGuy-No. Androids are just better. Literally the pixel 8 is better than the 15
Because it's a trap. It's tricky. It looks clean but in actuality it's a nightmare
Seeing this from my iPhone 15 pro and I must say, android is looking so beautiful lately ❤
As an ios and one ui user the recent ios updates excite me much more than the recent Androids
I use the same. My major issue with iOS is the basic stuff. Notifications are so much better on Android, keyboard still has no numbers row, gesture navigation is great on Android. I also don't like that you need to buy a pro version to get 120hz and always on display and the pro-chip. It just seems like Samsung gives you so much more for less money.
@@hhhmmmmmmmm you're absolutely right, there are so many things that still making me use my Galaxy as my daily phone but at the same time apple does their stuff in "apple way" which makes everything work quite refined and i also enjoy that. But yes as i said my Android is the one i always carry around
@@alibaimani1341 for me, reminders in calendar is great. For some reason Siri loves the words "remind me" n always works for that. The voice recorder transcription is also needed. That's what's so baffling about Apple, they create math notes which is amazing, but no numbers row or a pop-up calculator.
iPhone is a joke 🤣
iOS is about 10-15 years behind, so logically it will have more features to add, as it's extremely poor in features.
Quality content man love ot
Fair detailed "new" update comparison. That's what people should take away from these comparisons and remember they aren't generally about general abilities and features.
IOS 18 beta is looking sooo good. Apple is more visually appealing to me in IOS 18. Animations look good too!
Also widgets look SO MUCH BETTER on IOS. Apps in general too.
Avg iOS dr
As a long term ios user I have to disagree. Ios is a mess even ios 18. Not as user friendly as your think it's a mess which is why I'm leaving it for android with the new pixel phones. I don't think I'll ever get another iPhone again.
Tinted IOS icons look like over the top cyanogen mod themes that iOS 8 users liked to mock 10 years ago😅
@@Conannnnnreally? Interesting perspective. I own a 15 pro Max & A Pixel 8 Pro. To me Android looks so dull and lifeless.
@@illbet4589 i just think android is easier to navigate and when they release updates it's genuenly to make someone's life that bit easier. Ios do regular weekly updates but they're very minute changes. It doesn't even have a split screen which is annoying. It went downhill for me after ios 16. Also their stock apps are appalling. Mail I don't even get notifications I've even changed it on the settings and their maps is unusable for navigation since it's not synced to the device properly and at times takes you to the wrong location. I don't think they listen to their customers as much as android does.
I like your comparison, but, a better option would be to compare it against one ui instead of pixel os, as pixel os is the least feature rich os in all of android
The UI on iOS is very well-polished and organized, unlike Android, which can feel a bit cluttered and inconsistent. I really like the Meca Blur effect on iOS, while Material U on Android comes across as overly complex and somewhat incomplete
Android’s UI offers a fast and streamlined experience, with a smart navigation system that’s very easy to use with one hand, which is the opposite of iOS. Moreover, Android provides several helpful features that make tasks easier, like the clipboard function on the keyboard...
When Pixel 9 series come out on the 13th of August, the Google AI features would make iOS look like child's play. Plus, most of the Apple AI features used in this video won't debut this year. When this comparison is done again, it will be an easy win for Android.
@@derrick_ofori is that when the devices will be in our hands?
@@derrick_ofori I highly doubt that. The AI features that have been rumoured so far for android have not been anything spectacular. The iOS features while not released yet feel a lot promising and are actually helpful features not just gimmicks
@@aarchiiee Well, ATM, we know very little of what "Pixie" is going to be on the new Pixels. Also, even if we supposed that your assertion were true, we'd at least have those features of the Pixel in August as opposed to having very few or none of the AI features Apple mentioned that were used in this comparison. My point is, the comparison should have been based on what is available now, not on not-to-be-delivered-soon future promises. Moreover, ChatGPT isn't a part of "Apple Intelligence" (It's only an admission on Apple's part that their AI isn't as powerful as Gemini) why count that as a feature for Apple iOS when it's not even exclusive to it?
@@Conannnnn That will be when the devices launch and can be pre-ordered, and soon thereafter be in buyers' hands.
Apple cunningly announces that their Apple Intelligence isn't powerful enough, so they'd be outsourcing all the heavy liftings to ChatGPT- which although easily accessible on, but not exclusive to iOS nor Apple Intelligence - suddenly everyone is bumped about it pinning it ChatGPT as an Apple feature against Gemini. Really?
In that case, Google Search has been the default search on Apple for the longest time, is that a feature of iOS as well? As we speak, ChatGPT is a tile in "control centre" on my Android phone, making it easier to use to some extent.
At this point both are pretty great, whichever one you choose, you should be happy 🤗 Good times
Apple: You can do 3 things, they work perfectly
Android: You can do 3k things, maybe not all of them work perfectly
You choose
About 2.5k would be perfect. But people would be complaining of the rest. 5k wrong features
@@nikitasharma7805 i love this comment
@@nikitasharma7805🤝🏽
Great video
Honestly, all this can be summed up by saying:
The Android is YOUR phone.
The iPhone is APPLES phone.
How so? And how would that impact your everyday experience?
@@brunosco Well, thankyou for asking, allow me to explain.
With any Apple device, you are dependant on their servers to form a connection be it IOS, IpadOS or MacOS. This means that once ur device is no longer supported by their servers, it basically bricks your machine.
Android doesnt have this issue because you can jst download a alternate 3rd party launcher for ur device once its no longer getting updates, so aslong as you can still use wifi, you can use the device for most things.
Hence the android being Your phone for as long as you want, and the iPhone being Apples for as long as they want.
@@watchout5508 Thanks for taking the time to explain, I had never really thought about that. Now I remember that for each newly acquired apple device (iPhone, at least), you need to register it to activate it. Is that it? But in practice, it’s been many years since myself and people around me have been using Apple devices, and it never happened that any device was bricked. On the other hand, they are all using the Find My feature, which can help find them back, or remotely erase the content and brick the device if it has been stolen, which not only protects our data, but also is a deterrent for thieves (at least in theory).
@@watchout5508 You don't sound like you've ever used any iOS devices. None of that is true. Also, even after the 5-7 years of feature updates, iPhones continue to get security updates for years.
You also have an easy to use scripting language in the Shortcuts app. You can write programs on the iPhone to do all kinds of things. I have a script that turns off all my lights and makes sure the doors are locked when no one's home. Another to turn the lights on when I get home but only after the sun has set. A script to scan a document and OCR it then save the text as an editable document. One to split PDFs into individual pages and another to combine documents into a large PDF. My morning routine script plays after I turn off my alarm and tells me the current local weather, the weather forecast for the day, my calendar events for today and tomorrow then plays the local news' podcast of current events. The list of scripts goes on and on. iPhones are great for power users and can easily be customized for MY use. There's more to customizing a phone than just changing wallpapers and icons and silliness like that.
I also have an Android phone and it's not as good at this stuff as the iPhone is. You can use Tasker to do some of what I listed above but it's not built into the OS and it's much harder to use.
Android ❤️
As an ios and google user. I have to say ios 18 brings so much to ios that is a lil overwhelming. Now android 15 is more like android 14.1-14.5 nothing. In this update you hace to look for the new things. Nothing new to wow me. My big hope is the feature drops or galaxy with one ui 7.0
Because android already have all those. In 18th Gen apple mostly added a lot of basic stuffs. Now users are feeling that they got a lot of things. In android google changed it in 12. You cannot expect major changes every year. In iOS lat major overhaul was done in iOS 7 if I'm not wrong.
@@TechTalk0069 ios had new features that are still not available on android
@@Gelembfiisheep keep frustrated
@@left4deadR truth hurts?
@@Gelembfi it's hurting apple only. They can't code ai, search engines, map
There's not a single feature of iphone that's not in android.
Android is miles ahead in terms of features.
Apple brought widgets this year which Android had since a decade.
We are levels ahead my dear kiddo
2:10 You can select and move apps on other androids. He's also doing as it you would on iOS, which doesn't work on android.
iOS's version is also far inferior because you can only select apps from a single page, cannot deselect apps, cannot see the apps which you've selected as they're all under your finger, and you must keep your finger on the screen at all times.
In general, the Google Pixel is a huge leg up from the iPhone but Samsung Galaxy is a huge leg up from the Pixel.
16:59 I wouldn't say it's the same, iOS allows to change the limit value which is much more handy. I prefer a limit of 85/90% instead of the 80% with no possibility of change.
I agree the iOS version is superior, and I understand that Samsung will copy it in OneUI 7 as they did when copying 80% (previously had 85%).
I think a better representation of Android would be with a Samsung phone.
I would say that it would be better if android and iOS focus on actually improving RCS chat conversation for at least a year until it is flawless between the two and maybe one or two other updates on their software but they should focus more on the RCS matter.

17:36 Samsung has music share. You can share music from your phone or audio from your tv with unlimited amount of peoples earbuds or headphones
I don't understand how Google hasn't built in a "Photo Shuffle" feature for the lock screen yet.
Isn’t there a 3rs party app that does that?
Please do a video on google messages vs whatsapp vs imessage, if possible, highlighting their unique features..
And also how a chromebook fits in a google ecosystem.
Wonderful videos btw 🙂
shouldn't it be just "pixel ui" ?
It's the default "android", how Google intended it to be.
@@abdullahbinshahid3199 yeah but when he says "android" doesn't have certain feature it just goes out as Android as a whole doesn't have it but that's not the case.
@@craz7644 yes, he sometimes misses it but it's fine, whatever android it is it's still better than apple
@@craz7644I honestly don't think Samsung wants Android as their brand. One UI is what they push, Pixel is the only phone that tags their software Android X, instead of One UI X with Android X. So when he says Android he's referring to the default Pixel software, if he said it wasn't available on One UI that would have been another topic.
Insane to see that Android has now the clean elegant cohesive UI and iOS has the chaotic messy and buggy UI
Pixel isnfrom Google
But Samsung UI is a better Google Presentation
Nevertheless
I need a device mixed of both Systems 😆
Nothing new on iOS interests me.
I will always be an android user, as I just prefer how they do things.
Top notch details videos always 😊
Switched from iPhone to Pixel and i ❤ it 😊
What is it that you love?
@@joell927 Vanilla Android, AI, for me the Camera is better
Please Do comparison between iPhone 15 and pixel 8. Not everyone has the higher variant. Most of us use the base variant ☹️
As a long term Samsung user who just ordered his 1st ever Pixel. Some of the features you knocked Google for not having are available on Samsung. This is why it's difficult compare IOS to Android. It must be IOS to, what ever specific Android phone you're comparing, not Android as a whole because there's so many options.
The only thing I don't like is that you are saying "vs Android" but in reality it's vs Stock Android because Samsung One UI have more feature rich compared to stock OS.
But what OS (both Android, but Samsung customize it), consume more ram?
@@feegies That doesn't matter, what you want is for them to use it, the more the better because it means that it is constantly being useful.
It's not stock Android 😂
RAM doesn’t matter, I’ve compared an s23 to a pixel 8 and the pixel 8 had more dropped frames and stutters.
This is not even stock Android, it's Pixel UI + Pixel Launcher
As a s23 ultra user Samsung's ONE UI have almost all of these features.
It’s really Annoying that u guys say android is better and this and that and that these company’s did it first but iOS has been the industry for years and people need to accept that went iOS does features better than android. It’s the truth.
Team Pixel 💯💯
Pixel
But still not copying the back gesture implementation. It's underratedly the best android feature
And all the places where iOS was better than stock android, oneUI had that years prior and also did it better than both. I truly wished iOS 18 was compared to oneUI 😂
my only problem with one ui is the fact that for me its ugly as hell. idk if you can change that tho
@@Gelembfi What exactly makes oneUI look ugly im genuinely curious
@@ifrankenstein7455 technically everything. Like the control panel, all the app icons and glyphs icons across the system, the weather app, the system widgets, and the whole app designs of almost all the system apps
@@ifrankenstein7455 he's a typical isheep. You don't need to argue with him.
@@Gelembfi miserable person spotted lol
can't lie, most of the things you said were annoying in android are done better on Samsung
I absolutely love Google pixel software but their hardware loss me as a customer. I returned to Apple iPhone simply for reliability. iOS is so restricting but I can make a phone call. I’m looking forward to iOS 18.
While iOS control centre might offer more I still find Android's version less cluttered and I can make more sense of it. I think Apple have gone a bit wild with the choices but it's not as orderly as Android...
23:22 App pair has Been on Samsung for a while even on older Android versions
Wheres the theme/wallpaper on the pixel from?
cant wait comparation for Apple Intelligent (siri 2.0) and gemini
Goodlock ❤
This is why app developers focuses on ios because they don't want android to mess their apps with such customizations. I am no fan of both I only use what is available on my budget but I have both iphone and android. As long as it is a phone that can run social media apps, games and messaging apps I don't care what to use
17:55 you can manually off load apps on iOS.
Compare to pixel Samsung has a lots of customisation option
is there a way to get a volume slider in the control center on the pixel like on ios?
Samsung's OneUI has pretty much every feature that Pixel launcher lacks.
Apple Intelligence overtakes Android.
For me ios is a big mess. Even ios 18. It's all over the place. As a long 5 year ios user, I'll be switching to the pixel 9 pro xl and retiring my 15 pro max. Regular updates weekly but no real changes to make your life easier. Ill never get an iPhone again.
**Tim Cook enters the chat** 😂
Good luck with your Pixel. You will soon realise that the differences are minimal.
@@andyH_England thanks. I think it went downhill after ios 16 imo. Also my 15 pro max overheats so I need to get rid of it.
@@Conannnnn Lucky (or not), I live in the UK and have only a few hot days, so heat isn't an issue. I heard the iPhone 16 Pros will get a new cooling system--I wonder if that will help

You can manually offload apps on iOS. You so it in storage settings.
"Android only offer", no, "Pixel-Experience only offer", it's hard for you to admit it, but Android is Samsung / Huawei / Xiaomi.

So what do we have more on these brands?
Shortcuts in IOS
so how android has better photos but you have to wait to see huh android has a better photo app so android should've won this is bs
Compare it to Samsung's ONE UI .
Not yet. Wait for OneUI 7. Then compare.
@@sajeerc6826samsung(one ui 7) is basically copying everything it can from ios
Even One-Ui 1.0 will win the comparison 🤷🏽♂️
But that’s not stock Android.
@@rolins3279How so? What will be better?
Google apps new features review video next?
Can you share the Pixel wallpaper?
Keep in mind, iOS 18 RCS doesn’t support E2E because it’s not part of the UP.
Its just annoying to me that android has much better features, but the design is way too clumsy, no attention to detail, way to playfull design and animations and its wierd colours and unserious icons. I have a samsung and one ui is a bit different but i could never switch to an pixel phone because its just a bit too much, rather i would take an iphone where it is at least all taken care and smooth animations with nice colours and attention to the detail
Apple : lemme share my hardware in exchange of your software and AI
Although an Android fan, for widgets i would go with IOS because it's clean and although there are size limitations but who wants in various sizes widgets when the widget data is unreadable. ios widgets are more beautiful, professional and goes well with overall ui whereas Android i feel unpolished. and
iOS now features more Android features, which is appealing to Android users. I'm super upset of laggy Samsung's One UI on my flagship S23 Ultra phone, so I lose my fate on Samsung devs LOL, yes you will get a laggy Android only on Samsung phone, while my previous Xiaomi Mi 10S never lag with lower specs!
so you saying android has less special features then apple stop it thats why this is bs
Android has lost its edge over ios
Correction "pixel os"
Who wants Samsung phone to be added next to Pixel. Pixel don't have as much feature as Samsung to be exclusively used as a representation of Android.
If Apple adds sideloading similar how Android users can download apks from third-party sources, I'll switch
I believe that are doing that sometime this year, or maybe early next year. It had something to do with the European Union ruling.
and then there is samsung with good lock 😁😁 love that
Android's colour options are so dull. Google needs to make more colours available to choose from.
Hey, I'm leaving in the UAE. I need your help on where I can get an authentic replacement screen for my broken Pixel 7 pro 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I appreciate ur work, Emad but I'm disappointed this time. It clearly shows how you haven't really dug deep into iOS. Also you are comparing early builds. Things are continuously changing in iOS 18 as the builds are progressing too. Hoping to see better researched videos from u in the future. (I'm not a hater. Just a guy who dailys both android and iPhone) Also, you should really check the dfull potential of shortcuts app which is a big plus of apple software
Android looks like a rookie developer was given the keys to do what they want. iOS looks like a professional developer took the OS serious and took his Time to make something look and act beautifully. Get an ugly ui that has more features that not everyone is going to use or get a beautifully designed OS with less features that actually all work as it should and will be used across your massive ecosystem? Hmmmmm i wonder which one i will choose.
Maybe this is subjective, you might prefer IOS but I don't think any feature is that bad at least in my samsung phone as you are saying. Again like I said it's subjective but I prefer function over form
Ios 15 wins by a long margin
Android 15 should have been called 14.1 not even 14.5
FUCK NO
ios 18 you applemonkey
I try to think of a good reasons people make these videos but i can never come up with one accept for the fact they always preach to android users about customization and that’s about it.
