100% agree with you. I just came from using an Android and really thought I would try out the iOS world since there is such a huge hype with it....turns out I was right all along. Android is living in 2021 while Apple is just entering 2010.
Heres a tip! You can duplicate the initial shortcut action (Open app) and make the amount you need, then all you have to do is configure each one to the designated app. Cuts the time in about half!
At least it's a step forward... I'd love for android to copy ios level of app optimizations. It's 2020 yet the latest androids still can't use the cameras directly from apps because when they do, it looks like a footage taken from a cheap $200 phone when uploaded online. Sure they got great screens, and the photos and vids taken from the native camera app looks amazing. But you're not gonna shove your phone into people's faces. You actually have to upload it online, but when you do, it gets compressed so much. Still the same problem ever since I've got my first note in 2012. Lol. Ps: I know why it's like that. The problem is, they're not making a solution.
@@unboxingsbym1885 well thee isn't really a solution, is there. As long as different manufacturers keep making vastly different phones with vastly different hardware, it's not possible to fully optimise software to suit every device.
@@madaxe apple released Iphone 12, 12 mini, 12 pro, 12 pro max Samsung released S21, s21 plus, s21 ultra Apple = 4 phones all optimized and best versions of the apps Samsung = 3 phones with greatest specs yet terrible app optimizations. Great cameras yet uploads 480p reso vids in instagram It's also the manufacturers fault if they don't wanna invest on app developers on their specific units.
@@unboxingsbym1885 you grasp that the developers have to make optimised versions for not just Samsung, right? Hundreds of android phones are released every year and just 4 iPhones. It will never be equal.
Two things: 1. Coming from a 6-year android user and knowing how easy customization can be, I definitely would not put all that effort into changing up my home screens - especially since I know that I’ll eventually get bored of it and look for a new appearance later on. 2. Which brings me to my second point of paying for all these widget and “icon packs”. Eventually............one day.................Apple will likely add more user control on customization and when that day comes those widgets and icon packs could very possibly become obsolete depending on how Apple integrates that customization. In either case (free or paid) I just don’t see all that effort worth the final appearance, especially if you’re like me and will one day like to try some other appearance. That’s just how I feel about it anyways. Definitely was a nice tutorial and I do like the way that particular Home Screen looks it’s just too much of a hassle. p.s. I didn’t switch from android to iOS because of the new widget feature. (there are just many reasons that I’m not going to get into on here)
@@mxyznk I meant the potential lack of need for “invisible widgets” not regular data widgets. (That’s just speculation) Yea obviously regular data widgets aren’t going anywhere. The point was is I’m always hesitant to pay for apps that add random features to your phone. I did that quite a bit on android and android eventually added those features later on - so especially in the case of icon packs and even some widget apps depending on their function. But I guess value is in the eye of the beholder so if the user feels like they’ve gotten their money’s worth out of it then why not. But what with all the steps it takes to change the looks I feel it’s not worth it. But again, that’s just me.
OMG what a process!! Why do they have to make it so complicated? Having said that, this is great because I've always been turned off by the generic Apple look. Thanks for the video ... if I ever go back to Apple I'll be following your instructions.
I just switched from Android and am shocked this is so difficult. I'm just dealing with the customization penalty, most everything else is quite nice. Thx for the video!
I HOPE YOU DO THESE VIDEOS FOR IPHONE MONTHLY. been following you ever since i got my S8+. Loved the theming of my android. When the 11 pro max came out decided to jump ship for the first time in my android life, i have liked it since.
Loved your setup. Loved your video. Loved your explanation. Loved background music. Loved cinematography.😍 Loved everything. Huge fan from this day onwards.
Tbh iOS users still aren’t customising their setups to this extent. This is just a ‘what’s possible’ scenario, similar to heavy setups on ‘roids which majority don’t use.
I just spent a half an hour on the phone with a close friend who was trying to find an app icon. His wife had bought him a new iPhone 12; but she was out of town working. I kept asking him to go to his home screen, but he had no idea how to do it, and since my phone is an 8, i couldn't tell him how to do it. I finally had him ask Siri to do it form him. Lacking in your video is "how to get to your home screen".
I don’t know if you’re going to see this but I was wondering how you were able to change your custom wallpaper using only the dark mode/light mode toggle I have been really confused with this and would really appreciate an answer. I also want to know how both wallpapers didn’t turn on perspective zoom even though you didn’t set them up that way
The app icon change process , will take so much time , if you use ton of apps , that new iPhone will launch by then lol . Never the less it is good apple has given such feature . Hope direct icon change feature like android comes in future .
Curious, what's your current daily driver or go to phone for the next 4-6 months? Are you moving from the Pixel 5 to the iPhone 12? Toying with the idea myself, which is a big deal since I've been with the Nexus-Pixel line all this time.
@@ibrahimsafwat Couldn't find the OG post but I hope this link works: www.icloud.com/shortcuts/75de71cca8394d8fbf0a87977efa2ad7 Either way, iOS 14.3 fixes the problem, so no need for this
after all this time they weren't able to make the gallery organize pictures AUTOMATICALLY in 'per app albums' (like android) instead of jamming them all in one place. I recently switched and spend like 3 mins every time i want to send a photo cause i have to look for it... It's such a simple feature
This is very funny problem in 2021, I have never used an iphone. I was thinking of switching from android to iphone up to now. A14 chip and aluminium frame designs is very impressive but ugly notch, bad customization options, lightning cable!, no fingerprint (touch ID) security options and so on... I should wait the iphone 13, for switch to iphone.
Bloody hell isheep! Spending money on icons packs and clear widgets😂😂😂 y'all something else. Hit me up in 10 years when you guys add something android had in 2010.
I'm sorry but this is stupid. Not the video itself, but the hoops that Apple makes you jump through just for this.I don't know what Apple has against customization but they need to really start listening to their customers. Seriously.
Agree. I used to own an iPhone but I like having a good looking setup on my home screen and not too mention the cost for what you get with iPhones is just stupid now
@@spydR You don't seem too understand that a lot of people who have used nothing but Iphones in their life are seeing some of the advantages android has and going "woah, I want that!" Personally I live in a pretty small town and last year around 80% of the kids I knew had Iphones now it's probably closer to a 50/50 split just due too how many people are done waiting for apple to do something
@@sylfix2680 They may see things they like about Android, but they're not exactly switching over in droves. Nothing's wrong with acknowledging the differences in platforms - we all can't like the same thing. But getting angry because one is more cautious than the other is useless. iPhone users aren't asking for this stuff. We've got reliability in our phones and an ecosystem that destroys everyone else's, second to no one.
IOS is still light-years behind Android as far as customization. If they even have custom launchers or ability to download torrents then I might reconsider
Anyone who cares - iOS 14.3 beta 2 redirects to the app directly instead of first going to shortcuts. Also, if you enable reduce motion, the animation is much more tolerable.
Shortcuts is a very advanced automation platform. Imo jumping from home screen to an app is very basic functionality. It shouldn’t affect your phone at all.
Never thought I would use the word "customization" for iPhones
I know
@Zaid Al Rasheed not u again!!
@Zaid Al Rasheed nah. Both are correct.
Iphones already had it just get 3rd party apps
Im doing iphone customization for 10+ years now on
I love how some of yall are calling this "customization" this is more of a headache.
100% agree with you. I just came from using an Android and really thought I would try out the iOS world since there is such a huge hype with it....turns out I was right all along. Android is living in 2021 while Apple is just entering 2010.
So to change icons on IOS its basically comes down to 6697 small steps and your'e done!

Currently iOS user, I'm your fan!
for those who don't know This,
this actually pump up phone's RAM more in the long run.
more RAM is using more Battery it Drains Faster
you get a banner now way better than the whole page opening to shortcuts.

Loved your video.
Loved your explanation.

Please, i need you 😩🥺
Remember when iOS users used to say customisation wasn't needed??😂
Haha so true however like most things if you don’t have it or experienced it people say “oh it’s not necessary”
🤣🤣🤣🤣 smh #isheep
For some it's not. They're not wrong and neither are those who want to. I barely change my Android home screen other than a wallpaper.
Good for you, but that´s not the point of the main comment.
Tbh iOS users still aren’t customising their setups to this extent. This is just a ‘what’s possible’ scenario, similar to heavy setups on ‘roids which majority don’t use.

Perfect iOS 14 minimal home screen set up, amazing vid Sam 🤩
me: watches all these customization videos, so cool!!!
also me: never ever customized my phone even when I had android
U should bruh.. its very interesting and cool
It's a lot of fun.

Thanks for the vid!! Much needed change for my phone. Done it in ~half an hour with 16 icons, including buying the icon pack and the weather widget.
I really appreciate the customization ability of iOS 14 but it's not so easy like Android
