I can totally agree, I have had android devices for over ten years. I used to root my phones and add custom roms. However the 12 pro max is my first iphone. I just wanted to give it a try (Plus my wife , kids and a lot of my family are iPhone users ). I was surprised how well it works and how much I like it . I’m now I mid 40s and I don’t care as much about customizing. Just want it to work. You were spot on.
Your right man. The older I get the more I lean to Apple because of less customization. I like both Android and Apple but I went back to Apple with the 12 Pro Max and couldn’t be more satisfied. It just works. Also the little tweaks that Android doesn’t have like on Google Mail you can create a folder from your iPhone. You can’t do that on Androids GMail. For yahoo fantasy sports on iPhone it’s in Dark Mode on Android it’s not. Just those little tweaks!
@@hectordtorres3 my smart phones over the years HTC thunderbolt, note 2, note 4, note 7(only a few weeks😂), s7 edge, note 9, note 10, iPhone 13 pro max(I hope I like it)
Oof. This hits hard and true. I was a die hard android user. Customized everything from the launcher, unofficial rooted shortcuts, anything you could imagine I was in it. Then I started getting lazy on Samsung Galaxy devices and only changed things once every few months. Got to the point I felt like if I wasn’t going full tilt in customization I was wasting the potential. Flash to the Note9 launch. It was too much like my Note8 so there wasn’t anything there for me. Then the Note10 lost the headphone jack along with every other android manufacturer. Then Samsung announced the 8-series galaxy devices would be stuck on Android 9. Decision time. I could have gotten a OnePlus McClaren edition but that would only get MAYBE 3 years of support. Then I noticed my work sponsored iPhone 6s+ was 4 years old at that point and still being updated to the latest iOS. Well, hell, if I’m over the whole maximum customization thing and the lack of extended support across the board, I may as well try out an iPhone. Figured if I get the least expensive newest model I wouldn’t be subject to the sunken cost fallacy and evaluate the device accordingly. If I liked it, I’d have at minimum 4 years of support compared to the 3 I got out of a more expensive Android phone. Then the ecosystem grabbed me and dragged me in. 2008-2019 - Android user, screw Apple products September 2019 - bought base model iPhone 11 at launch out of curiosity December 2019 - bought stainless steel Apple Watch series 4 from Swappa since my Galaxy watch wasn’t really doing me much good January 2020 - bought AirPod Pros February 2020 - bought iPad Air WWDC 2020 - thinking maybe I want one of those M1 MacBooks 🤔 September 2020 - screw it, I’m an Apple fan now. I’ll give the 11 to one of the kids since they’re due for a new phone and I’ll get that sweet blue 12 Pro Max
@@khakiswag that support means a lot and android devices trend to being nearly disposable. Without security updates using an older device opens the wrong kind of door. Technically if we break down the price of an iPhone versus any Android flagship over the course of "guaranteed support" the iPhone comes out cheaper per year. Granted, that's operating under the assumption someone keeps their phone that long.
@@Otterplus That's what I keep trying to tell people, proprietary software support that well integrates with custom built hardware is more expensive than open-source software with hardware that gets shared across dozens of brands. Add update fragmentation because of manufacturers and carriers, fast depreciation...how much do you value those extra features? I mean if you want freedom, to use it more like a computer or workhorse and upgrade before the software feels too outdated then Android is the only option. iPhones aren't the most exciting products, but their focus on consistency and ease of use is really good; even if sometimes to their detriment (no high speed USB, no secondary authentication method, no sideloading [limited use], no expandable storage, etc etc). But you have to weigh the good vs the bad...and right now my applewatch and ipad 12.9 M1 along with icloud integration are very compelling...even my beats pro wireless and studio 3 are seamless.
100% agree man ! I keep my phone in silent mode, I don't care if someone call me either, I get notification something like that. Even my wife I don't care, see these things are meant to distract you & your goals. So, devices don't matter really in LIFE !
I couldn’t care less about bubble color…but the integration between devices is INCREDIBLE! When I press play on my iPhone while watching a video on my iPad and it switches audio quickly to my iPhone…that’s awesome. When I open a website on my iPhone and can easily sling it to my iPad…thats fantastic. When I set my phone to DND and my iPad follows without me doing anything…I’m on board. I’ve been all android for 8 years and Apple is finally mature enough for me to get all in. Like you…I use what works. And right now…Apple works best.
Exactly! This is the actual reason for me switch to an iPhone. I am tired of using a cheap Samsung tablet, a Pixel 2 XL smartphone and an old Windows PC. After getting a MacBook Air M1 I made the decision to slowly but surely switch to IOS, since their ecosystem with its continuity is unrivaled.
The battery life is the number one reason to buy the IPhone 13. It’s a piece of mind to know the phone will last until bed time regardless of heavy use.
I’ve figured it out. For battery you have to get the larger phones either with apple or android or go with and android manufacturer that values battery life on their smaller device’s.
@@marvoinfo The battery on iPhone 13 and 12 base models is also pretty decent and will last you all day with medium to heavy use. Apple does very well with software optimizations that even a 2815mah or 3000mah battery will last you all day with heavy use. With Android phones, you would need around 4000mah batteries for similar use. The mini models are a bit yikes when it comes to battery but that's a compromise made for something so tiny.
@@PurushNahiMahaPurush It may be a while before I upgrade seeing I have the 12pro. That battery is ok but I know I’m going to be charging before the day is out. In some ways I miss my note because I know I could leave home without any other device and not have to feel like I was not going to be able to do laptop or tablet like stuff. I was also more confident in the battery lasting me at least until 10-11 at night. I know I’m going to have to charge up the pro before leaving work if I use it too much. It’s ok though seeing I can’t use it in the way I was using the android. I like the device integration more now on the iPhone as my memory is just not where it was. 😃 It’s easier to just put the phone down and use a the iPad to pick up where I left off seeing I’m watching more content when I get home.
The transformation part or evolution was hysterical ! “Well, you see what had happened” I’m done. Totally relate to you though man. I enjoy technology to the max. I have an android phone for “scumbag activities” like free Spotify etc etc and my iPhone for my daily stuff. Keep up the great work my guy
You've chosen convenience over enthusiasm. When a person is young they are more likely to take risks. As that person grows older they are less likely to take risks because the mind tells them of the consequences. Which is great because as a dad I'm always worried that when my kids jump off of tables, I feel they will get hurt. But when I was young I jumped off of higher places and my parents yelling at me. My point is it's not bad to ask for convenience but those who choose to be more riskier with their tech are also great. You can buy a cup of cut pineapple for $3.99 a pound. You can also buy a whole pineapple for $3.99. Once you get used to eating cut fruit, going back to buying a fruit that you need to prep is very hard even though the cost of already cut fruit is higher.
You are right. I am now going through that. I have the Flip 3 and iPhone 12. And now I am having so many miss steps doing things on android. That you have no idea. And I am not talking about not knowing how to do things. It is just that they don’t work as seamlessly as they do on iOS. Apps are not compatible with each other. Inside of the same OS. I have to do many more steps to perform one task. Or move back and forth from app to app in order to get things done. I love enthusiasm but also it is becoming a big hazel. I bought my phone because it is fun and different. Hello it bends. Form factor. But I am afraid that is the only thing keeping me from not letting go.
@@brosnet2005 I agree with your last statements. I love Android but iOS is very appealing too. I want timely updates. I am going with a Pixel 6 this year to see how that goes. I dunno if I'll ever let go of Android. I have never had Samsung phone... I might try that if I don't end up liking the pixel.
Well said I use to be young and didn’t want anything but a android then one day it just happened as I realize I don’t even use this stuff so I tried iPhone and omg it was way better
Convenience? Dude most of my friends use android phones and most android phones these days are convenient. This isn't 2012. Most phones are pretty advanced these days
@@wahm7872 His statement has nothing to do with who has what. It is all about the why. Apple ecosystem is convenient. The integration between iOS, MacOS, iPad OS and all their products has no par. This is not about who is better. It is all about why people keep one over the other. Even Travis said it. And what Kamaran is trying to explain on his response to the video is that it is convenience vs enthusiasm. Androids are fun. Bringing to the game what is new. But apple is striving for perfection over innovation.
You hit the nail on the head. I’m 33. Had android my whole life. I switched to Apple when the 12’s came out. Holy smokes! It is so nice to have something that’s just so easy to use. And like you said, works seamlessly with other Apple devices. I now have the 13 mini, and was blown away at how simple and seamless the transfer from the 12 Pro Max was. Definitely sticking with apple for a while.
This reminds me a lot of me I was DEEP into Android now I’m a full on Apple user and I don’t regret it at all. Android is still cool I just love the ecosystem of Apple it’s undefeated 💯❤️🔥
' Android manufacturers are in a race to be the first, not the best ' very well stated! I've always had both Android ( since galaxy S2 ) and iOS ( iPhone OG ) and felt the same! Today, the Note 20 ultra is my backup device with the 13 Pro Max ( or 13 PM as some call it ) being the primary! Adding to the stated benefits of iOS in this video, I also absolutely appreciate the dual sim functionality, customer support ( especially having a B&M store with, generally, same day resolution including needing a replacement ) and the general low depreciation of Apple devices when it comes to selling or trading in!
Lol this is way off. Not all Android manufacturers are equal. Samsung and Google pixel craft to be the best in their own strengths. For example, Google has amazing software features such as live translate. It's live transcribe is 100 percent accurate. You're not gonna find that on the apple.
I feel where you’re coming from. I’ve never been fully satisfied “tech wise” when I was on android and I also felt a bit overwhelmed with all the different things and options…I dealt with the lagging, updates taking forever, phone just stopped working, boot looping etc. but when I switched to iPhone I didn’t miss the themes( and I LOVED THE THEMES) but I didn’t miss them. I even tried out some awesome flagship android phones to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. Apple ain’t perfect but I done took a bite of the apple and I’m satisfied. I doubt I’ll switch back.
I'm 100% with you. I used windows and android in the beginning, but I got older and I got tired of the constant issues. I tried apple... first the iPhone, then the iPad. The experience was smooth and oh so sweet!! Everything works and they all work well together. Are they perfect? No. But I like the apple experience far more than what I used to go through. 👍
I’m with you man! As I got older and my kids got older I found that I really needed a phone with great video. Once I got into the iPhone 12 series (I was waiting for iOS 14 for Home Screen widgets) and after I got over a few hiccups I was used to with Android my experience has been pretty amazing. When it comes to Apple it’s truly a lifestyle company because my lifestyle of capturing moments with video and pictures with my kids has so far been way better than when using my Android phones.
As someone who has been rooting phones since 2012, I can respect your decision. I can't see myself using anything apple just because I enjoy tinkering with admin settings too much 😂
100% agree. After finally making the switch after being on Android for years I just appreciate all the little quality of life things that Apple offers. While I’d like a more customizable Home Screen, I can’t say I really miss it. I also got tired of Android software from the update schedule to the actual software itself. I don’t see myself going back to Android unless the pixel line has somewhat of a similar ecosystem and a decent foldable. Otherwise I’m probably here to stay.
Do folks just not update apps in the background? Mine does that automatically. I get to choose when to do system updates as well so I never have had issues there really. I find quality of life better on android since it just has built in options already there. Apple may have options from 10 years ago you don't like and you're stuck with it. It's like they own your phone instead of you. I can seamlessly use my other devices too that aren't just apple no problem. My apple devices tend to go out of their way to not work well with other devices that aren't apple which decreases quality of life :(
Long time Android user since the 'Kick' lol.. BUT I've wanted to AW since it's debut for the health tracking and style. I tried the GW4 and for me, it just didn't work. I love my Galaxy S20 so I'm sad to let it go.. for now.. but I want that apple watch so I have no choice. Been testing a friends old iPhone 8 before I buy anything to see if I like the iOs and I sure do.. I don't care about the bells and whistles anymore. I actually appreciate that fact the watch will help me stay OFF my phone more and take care of my health as well as spend more time with my family. God Bless.
I have used a Galaxy phone for the last 8 years and just switched to the iPhone 13 mini. I wanted the small size again and my wife has iPhone and my son has an iPad. A lot of friends have iPhones too. They kept saying how great iMessage was. I just don’t get the hype. You can’t schedule texts. Pinning conversations don’t look as nice on iPhone - you can’t see the text preview. It’s not easy searching for keywords through your texts. Everything requires extra clicks on the iPhone. The notifications aren’t as nice on iPhone either. Galaxy allows you to mark texts as read from the notification or even reply from the notification. I don’t have a laptop but thought I would get a MacBook Air down the line. I have to see if I stick with this iPhone first. Approaching the 30 day return window. I love the physically smaller size though, the screen is big enough too.
I feel the same. iMessage is overrated, airdrop is overrated and the overall navigation and layout is unbearable. This may seem elementary but the idea that I still can't put the icons where I want is a deal breaker for me. Siri is still Siri. This idea that Apple knows what's best for us, coming from a tech guy, is very disappointing. Apple is notorious for screwing over the consumer...
Being an android user is part of my identity and if I was to make an iPhone my main phone, I feel as if that would make me just “like everybody else”. I know how weird that sounds because 99% of the people close to me use iPhones so I’m not alien to the OS. But it’s that mental shift and how closely tied my identity is to the device I use.
Like you I edit all of my videos for my RUclips channel using an iPad pro and LumaFusion. But I'm still with a Pixel for the main reason that I use a PC at work and I love how Google apps are much more web-based. For example, and most importantly, I love texting from my PC in meetings! I also am pretty heavy Google app user and find them to work a little bit better or my Pixel 5. Also, all of my devices use USB-C (phone, jaybird earbuds, cameras, iPad...). I have USB-C chargers all over my house, in my car and at my office. If I ever switch to an iPhone I would have to purchase a lot of new chargers which doesn't make sense. But the one thing would make me switch is if Apple went to USBC on the iPhone and would allow you to iMessage from a web browser.
It’s the opposite here in the US. When I go to peoples houses, they have nothing but Apple chargers all over the place. Are chargers really expensive nowadays?
@@bmakel I'm in the US but I'm mainly referring to my house. For two or three car chargers and four or five wall chargers it would be over a hundred bucks. Then there's the issue of all of my other devices charging with USB-C so it's remembering both styles of chargers when I travel as well. I know there's differences of opinion but I really wish Apple would just move the iPhone to USB-C
Why chose one over the other? I use an iPad mini and a Fold 3, best of both worlds. They both work flawlessly, I've been extremely happy with both devices. One thing I don't get locked into though are Apple's "suggested" apps, such as FaceTime and iMessage. I try to use apps that are compatible with all devices, such a duo and whatsapp, and the likes of that. I honestly don't think one's better than the other, especially in this day in age. I like the iPad mini (latest version, just got it last week) screen a little better, but the Fold 3 outshines it by quite a bit in game performance. So I just switch between the 2 at the will, and welcome what each device offers.
This is a concise, detailed and phenomenal explanation of the video title. I try to explain that to people all the time. Android is very customizable. But I don’t care about that even 1/20th as much as I do the convenience and features of an iPhone
I'm not customizing anything, the Android platform is just better for everyday use in all cases except camera and apps that integrate into camera like social media apps. The solution is to have a flagship from each platform and compliment the weaknesses across both.
ABSOLUTELY! I have been a die hard Android fan since the MyTouch 3G came out until my last phone which was the Samsung Galaxy S10+. I loved how I could customize absolutely everything of my phone and always hated the look of the old iPhones and said I would never switch. However, I would find myself getting frustrated with every android update and having to wait months to receive the same updates on my phone. Like you're showcasing all these cool features and getting me really excited for it but now I'm being forced to wait damn near a year for said update to get to my phone? I ended up switching to the iPhone 11 (through amazon renewed of course) and I honestly don't see myself going back to android for the foreseeable future. You always hear about people praising the Apple ecosystem and think they're just overreacting to something that's so mediocre...but now that I'm all in on that ecosystem.....I get it.
I walked that path since iPhone 5s. Happy with an iPhone and others iDevices. I know it’s expensive but in the end of the day the “just works” experience like you said is more worth to me.
I agree that Apple products work seamlessly and are very well built, however, I enjoy the customisation of Android products as well as the variety offered by different manufacturers. I am not a ‘young person’ either, I’m nearly 55. Android is just my preference. I agree with what you say regarding brand loyalty. It’s not about which is best, just which works better for the individual concerned. Great video.
Switched to Apple about 5 years ago and haven't looked back. Everything works seamlessly between my iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Mac Powerbook and iMac. No matter what device I'm on the Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Email, Photos, Files and more are there AND the interface is similar so it's very intuitive. I ditched Microsoft Office for Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. Yes, it does take some getting used to but it's FREE, included on all Apple devices and you can save as PDF or Microsoft format if you are sharing your files with a non-Apple user.
integration is unmatched between devices; perfect example is recently I needed my wife to sign on a pdf as a witness. I was surprised that one of the options I had and used was to read the contract on my Mac, selected to create a signature using my iPhone which it connected and my wife used my iPhone screen with her finger to sign. There was no pre-configuration or set up required; it just worked.
I went from the iPhone 5, to the Galaxy S5, then the S7, & then I switched back to the iPhone with the X S Max & then the 11 Pro Max. I had gotten an iPad Pro from my college in 2016, which I just upgraded last year for the 2020 11" iPad Pro. In between I got the second gen AirPods with the wireless charging case for my iPhone, & then I got the AirPods Pro with a college student deal when I got my iPad Pro. I didn't upgrade my iPhone last year but I'm now getting the 13 Pro Max. I don't have a MacBook yet atm. I have an HP Spectre x360 touchscreen convertible laptop with pen support since I got before the M1 MacBooks came out last year. I might consider getting a 14" MacBook in the future. Since I've got 4 Apple products that work well together that would make the most sense. But then part of me misses Android & makes me want to get a used flagship Android like the S10, S10+, or Note10+ to revisit Android since I haven't had one since 2018. Android phones work better with Microsoft especially Samsung Galaxy phones bc of their partnership with Microsoft. Samsung has actually managed to make their own ecosystem between their phones, smartwatches, wireless earbuds, tablets, laptops, & you could even include TVs in that ecosystem as well since they make so many TVs. If they could just match Apple's software rollout speed & longevity that would make them more compelling to more people. And they need more physical retail stores. I like both Apple & Android as you can tell lol. But investing in both ecosystems can be costly so it takes time to invest in both as a techie. I've grown up with Apple since my iPod Nano & iPod Touch which is what made me want to get an iPhone, but then the limitations of iOS then & some of the limitations that still exist make me want to get a used Android flagship from 1-2 years ago that still has really impressive specs that hold up well into 2021 & 2022. I'm glad that Samsung gives their devices 3-4 years of software updates now. That's a big improvement from before. Google as a whole needs to improve the software update rollout for all of the different Android brands & stop having carriers get in the way of that process
You’ve nailed it and I switched to my 1st iPhone 13 Pro Max this year. The last straw for me was Finding out that the note 9 will not receive Android 12. Right now in my life I prioritize battery life, polished software and apps on iOS, and five years worth of Software support.
I stumbled across your channel doing my research to move up from a Samsung S9 Plus to an iPhone 13. I work with a Mac at home and the conductivity argument is very strong. Yes this is a deep rabbit hole to go down. I have really enjoyed your clear and well thought out reasons for your Apple choice. Like you I just want it all to work without needed to fuss to get it to do so. I will be happy to see what else you have on offer. I am a manufacturing engineer and like tools that do exactly what they are supposed to do without a fuss.
For over 30 years I was a PC guy. Just finished my latest DIY gaming PC a few months before the pandemic. But then I needed to do work online and got a Mac Mini. Absolutely loved it. Then I got the new iPad Mini. Absolutely loved it. Ive been an Android guy since Gingerbread. But yesterday, I ordered my iPhone 13 Pro. They have me now. Get off the grid while you can or you'll be next!
Same thing happened to me... I was an Android user until a few weeks ago... I ordered an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I already familiar with iOS because I have an iPad mini and a Mac pro.
I agree. I’ve been an Android user for such a loooong time after Blackberry. I just switched to iPhone a week ago and I am loving it. I know it sounds impossible, but since I got the iPhone, I never experienced a hiccup or lag or jitters when scrolling and browsing from one app to another… ❤️
I was also an android user. I had the G1 just like you and did marvel at the iPhone 1 which i also had. Used to root my android phone for better sound and updates but realised over the years Apple honed their product line and now i went back to the galaxy fold but now daily drive a iphone 13. There is no denying Apple are slick at the eco system and even my car uses Android auto in a weird way to Apple CarPlay. So for me its iphone from now on and don’t think ill go back to android even though i used to be a XDA developer and rooted my phones all the time. Yes your right on the customisation and i do miss it sometimes but not worth the sacrifice for the fragmentation and bugginess of android.spot on with your video!
Glad to see this video. You are 100% correct. It works. It's expensive but think about devices that are years old and today are running the latest software. The Samsung Renewed that we purchased based on your review will be the last Android we will have. Thank you Travis. We see the light and we are happy.
Galaxy S3 - S8 here. Got an iPad for university. Worked great. Liked the OS and look and decided to try out the IPhone 12Pro. Also works great. Had a Galaxy Watch before and wanted one for the IPhone too since Samsung didn't fully support their Products on IOS. Now I'm stuck with the Watch SE. I feel you.
I laughed so hard at the first part of the video. Especially at the “ You see, what had happened was…” part. That is exactly how I migrated into a complete Apple ecosystem of devices. The Apple ecosystem is what makes Apple so good. Everything just syncs and communicates with each other efficiently. In the end THAT is worth so much more to 99.9% of consumers than any bells and whistles.
I've had this dicussion with my friend who is a hardcore Samsung enthusiast (and another friend who works for Samsung), I just want convenience. I want my things to work and Apple's apps that sync across devices is just perfect. They're basic, I know there are better things but it's just the ease of use. I don't care for adding custom launchers, installing themes, sideloading, complete custom control. They're cool and useful features but I wasn't using them on my Samsung or my OnePlus phones. A cool and useful feature that I use every day with my MacBook and iPhone is Airdrop. My friend enjoys playing a Nintendo DS emulator on his Z Fold 3, and that's so frigging cool. I just have a different use. Idk some people seem to think that picking an iPhone over a Samsung or Pixel is dumb and uninformed. I prioritise convenience when it comes to my tools.
Hi! First time viewer on the channel. I’ve been plowing through a lot of apple videos recently and stumbled onto yours. I am an apple user. For context i work in IT and here in Sweden we are i believe the worlds 1st os 2nd iPhone users per capita in the world. 85% of businesses use iPhones. Of my friends only a fraction use android devices. I have used iPhone since its international introduction in 2008 with the iPhone 3G. I used to use a PC but switched to Mac and used a Mac exclusively between 20010-2017 when i switched back to PC again for work purposes. I work a lot with Microsoft cloud services and device management on the daily and wanted the tightest of integration into Microsoft’s services for work. I also switched my private devices to PC and the Surface line. For educational purposes I’ve used androids too but not as my main device. BUT i switched sides for about a year having the Samsung S10e as my daily. Did NOT like it. So i ditched it for an iPhone 8 Plus and then grew my apple ecosystem with an Apple Watch, an iPad Pro a HomePod mini and most recently an M1 MBA. Of course I’ve had the Apple TV throughout and upgraded to the latest and greatest just 2 months ago. Compared to 2010 the Apple ecosystem is more useful and integrated than ever. I have a hard time seeing myself ever switching. I like it here. Everything, taken with a grain of salt, just works, most of the time. I do combine my apple home with SONOS speakers but i miss CarPlay in my Tesla… It’s NOT the devices themselves that make me want to stay, but the combination of them, the REAL product Apple sells. The ecosystem
I totally agree. I started on Andoids and loved the phones, but after a year and a half it could easily take 5 - 10 minutes to make a phone call. It doesn't matter if an IPhone is brand new or 4 years old - it works.
I started with iPhone 3, 3GS, 4. Then Samsung released the Note 2…and it compelled me to switch to Samsung. Note 3, Note 4, S9 plus… then, the iPhone 11 captured my attention…mainly for the camera and video recording quality. Bought the S21 Ultra, bought the iPhone 13 pro max. There are things I love and hate about both, honestly. Android has a much better file system and default music player. iPhone has some killer apps like LumaFusion and amazing video shooting quality. It’s a frustrating choice. Love the m1 macs though, since I tend to game on console not PC.
My 6S Plus worked stellar for years. Never changed the battery as well. Just kept it in the charger when the battery eventually dropped below spec. The charging port went south as well I guess to more than 3,000 ingress and egress of the lightning plug. Finally stepped up to an iPhone 13 PM 512gb. Yes it’s a high spec device but to me just a nice evolution of technology I was already used too. It synced to my 2018 iPad Pro and my 2014 MBP. Seamless integration. Finally looked at my automatic watch collection and said “hey let’s try something new”, then pre ordered a Apple Watch 7. The Apple ecosystem plain outright works without fail. And at 54 y.o. that to me is the only thing that matters.
Well said! This is exactly what I’ve found bouncing from Apple to Android over the years. I just need a device to work. The freezing issue on S21 Ultra is quite annoying.
I had 3 iPhones in a row, and now I'm two years into my 2nd Android. I had some issues with the iphones like one of them turning off in the middle of calls. Perhaps surprisingly, I've had zero issues on my Androids (Samsung Galaxy S7 & Huawei P30 Pro). I'm mourning the fact that the new Huawei's have been blocked from Google Services (political rivalry and all) because I'd buy a new Huawei P50 Pro in a heartbeat if it still had them.
I do like the seamless integration between iOS/Apple devices. I used to have the same bricking issues with my previous Samsung Galaxy Notes. It’s extremely hard to get an awesome picture as well with my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. But, until Apple makes taking notes 📝 easier, I’ll have to stick with my Note 20 Ultra 👍🏾.
Thank you sir. 🤣🤣🤣 I went from Android user since the G1 to Apple and it happened to me in the same way. From iPod to iPhone to MacBook. Great channel. Keep up the Great work.
Travis YOU are the reason I switched to the Iphone after 10 years on Android. And its so easy to communicate in all different ways with family and friends. If I ever see you in the Renton, I'll introduce myself to you and thank you for the nudge back to Iphone! Thanks my Brotha!
Fantastic insight and hits the nail on the head with my thoughts also. I've always had an iPhone and switched to Android almost 3 years ago and got the Galaxy S10+. No doubt a great phone but the reality is I'm 48yo and the novelty of customisation and all the features Android have to offer have worn off. I don't use the phone to anywhere near its capacity. But what really hit home was that my kids, family and work colleagues all use the iPhone. It's just makes more sense as the experience connecting with everyone on the iPhone will just be simpler and more enjoyable. Which is why I am now waiting (impatiently ☺) for my new IPhone 13 Pro to arrive!
I'm thinking of switching to the iPhone 15 pro max from Galaxy Note 10 plus. I've been in Android world for over 10 plus years and want something new, tired of android bugs/ glitches and want something much simpler that works! Also there's so many features that I don't use and get overwhelmed with all the customization. I'm waiting for the buzz and kinks to be ironed out for the iphone 15 and the Galaxy S24 line to come out before I commit to switching over. Thanks for making this video 😄
Went to iPhone for safety and health focus. iPhone, Google Pixel's SOS/emergency will call local three digit emergency services. Samsung, nope! Won't even let you program the three digit number as an emergency contact. So frustrating. And yes, the battery life on the 13 Pro MAX is amazing!
Started in a similar fashion Travis! I was an Android user for over 10 years. Even (still) have a 2013 Google Chromebook (made of aluminum and originally $1500 bucks new…basically as close to a MacBook your gonna get this side of Android) Started getting bored of rooting androids and custom roms, and always having SOME sort of issue. Something wouldn’t work right. Or at all. Wanted something different. Went from a OnePlus 7 pro to a XS Max. Liked it, so next came the Apple Watch. Then an upgrade to an 11 pro max. Then air pods. Then the iPad Pro 12.9 inch. Now I’m about to upgrade to the 14 pro max, and looking for a cheap and inexpensive MacBook for basic use. Yes I still have a soft spot in my heart for google, but I can’t ever really see myself switching sides again. The UI experience to me is on another level compared to Android, and when you have multiple devices, everything seamlessly integrates LIGHT YEARS better than it does with Android devices. Once your in an ecosystem, regardless of which side, it’s hard to get out, walled garden or not.
at the end of the day boils down to what you want out of a phone. I use andriod but not any kind of andriod device, Galaxy Notes exclusively. The S-pen is very useful to me, plus the boxy design.
I couldn’t agree more. I used to be a big time Apple hater and used to always lament the perceived lack of features in iPhones. Eventually I became tempted to give the iPhone 4S a try but eventually switched back to Android. Around 2012 a colleague let me used his MacBook Pro (to run Windows) and I was hooked. I realized through using the iPhone that I stopped caring about niche features that I didn’t use in my day to day routine. I spent most of time using iTunes, iMessage, social media apps, and the camera. All things that apple has mastered. Years later, I am sometimes tempted to try something new but am usually reminded immediately as to why it wouldn’t be a good choice for me to switch (too much segmentation, inferior battery life, lack of updates, no iMessage or FaceTime, etc).
I went from my iPhone 5 to the Galaxy S5 & then the S7. After having mixed to bad experiences with both of those phones, I decided to switch back to the iPhone. I don't think I would have such a mixed to bad experience anymore bc I know not to get the base storage size & the specs have improved drastically from the S7 to the S10/10+ & Note10+
5:50 Even as a die-hard Android user (my first Samsung watch was once yours), I will admit that the way Apple handles updates is nice. I was nearly forced into Apple in a way, because of the lagging Android security updates. I've since moved to Pixel phones and no longer have that issue. Also, for me, I'm heavily into the google system for storage purposes.
I just became an IPhone user like a month ago. I was with android since the bugging and I felt it was time to try something different. I have a bunch of Apple products at home and love how they all work so well with each other. I'm here to stay not switching back. I don't blame you for leaving also.
I feel ya. I have had every note phone 📱 by Samsung and when I switched to Apple it was just a very solid tool that I just couldn’t deny any longer. I was tired of customizing everything I just needed a tool that worked and worked well and worked all the TIME ⚡️👊❤️
As frustrating as it is learning the Apple Ecosystem after buying an iPhone 12 and my now 8 year old daughter teaching me the basics, I'm learning. I bought my daughter an iPad for her birthday and as I was doing the initial upstart and playing with it, she almost didn't get it because I wanted it. Now I want an iPad pro or the mac Air laptop and the Mac mini to integrate with my humble desktop. Geez, I think I'm hooked!!!
Still an android user here but seriously thinking about switching. My main reason is the os updates. Android sketchy updates and different times for different manufacturers is annoying
Travis, Thank you for that thoughtful video. I too, was a longtime user of Android, starting with the Samsung Galaxy S. I so looked on Apple with disdain due to their lack of customisation. After going through a Pixel 3 (loved vanilla Andorid and regular updates). Then a Galaxy S8+ came next. Hated Samsung's duplication of apps already available in Android, I mean, WTF? It's like reinventing the wheel or something. If someone is using Gmail and Google Calendar already, why would they switch to Samsung's version? But I digress. The last and final straw that broke my Android smartphone using back was my LG V-60. Do have it orphaned after only a year's ownership really hurt. And then, it started rebooting itself down for no particular reason. And then it started shutting itself down after ten minutes on standby (not overheating or anything like that). Needless to say, I looked to other possibilities. Never an Apple fan, I'd bought a Mac Mini last year (and loved it), after my finicky PC kept crashing on me. Love the new Mac--so reliable. I should mention I also have a Chromebook (wish I had bought a MacBook instead but couldn't afford it at the time). I hate my Chromebook. It is a top of the line convertible model (two years old) with the ability to draw and sketch on it as well (one of the reasons I bought it). However, it is so slow to boot, and the rotation so slow to change its orientation when I change the angle I am drawing at, it's just sad. I should mention I also had a Samsung Gear S3 watch with my S8+ which was a lot of fun. But now, I can't wait until I can afford my first iPad Air, MacBook Air, and of course, an Apple Watch. So thanks so much once again, Travis, for your inciteful video and no-hold-barred honesty. It is greatly appreciated. And yes, I liked and subscribed already. :-)
I always come back to this video. My first iPhone was the iPhone 5. I started off with the G1,side kicks etc etc. Switched back to android back in 2015. Now I’m back to iPhone 7 years later with 13 PM,Series 7 and iPad Air. Love it here. Have had thoughts about going back because I miss something’s. But overall feel I made the best decision
My switch to apple was the very same way. I’ve been a lifelong android user and it all started when my wife wanted a device to use with her cricut vinyl machine so we got the M1 air. Now I’ve fully switched I’ve got a 13 pro max and an Apple Watch and AirPods as well.
Had the G1 and many Androids since 2022. I started w/a iPad mini for streaming. My mid-range Samsung tablet couldnt do it & my note 12 would overheat. Got Airpods Pro (great headphones). A friend sold me his 12 Pro Max for $200. Then I bought the Watch (w/ dozens of bands). Bought our first Mac on Prime Day 2023. May get the Vision Pro
Agree totally man! As a user of both platforms there's just a smoothness with the whole ecosystem and the timely updates are absolutely a very important feature
You’re basically telling my story for work I got upgraded on my employee provider line from a iPhone 6 to an iPhone 11 and that sparked the curiosity and eventually I got me an iPhone 11 for myself then decided to go Pro Max and eventually got me a watch on iPad AirPods and now AirPods Max which are lovely by the way the high price and basically I am locked into the ecosystem I love how the updates come quick Good video my man keep it up
Welcome. I was an android Nexus guy. Loved me some pure, unadulterated android love! Then, everything I could mod, root rom, tweet adjust, etc. Then, it changed into you have to always tweet, mod, adjust, etc. It just got old. I had an iPhone for work, then got an iPad to replace my Nexus 10… then became a convert with the iPhone 6s. Android does more, but apple just works. Waiting for my free (ATT promotion) 13 pro max. Android is still cooler, and it’s tempting to go beck, but…nah. I’m old and apple is so easy. Great video.
As someone who has used both, I HATED that you wouldn’t get a new software update for the longest time. At the time of me having an Android phone, it also wasn’t as easy to find the level of accessories that you could for iPhones. I know things have changed a lot now, but Apple does a lot right and that’s a good selling point to go back and stay there.
Same...I started with the iPhone 6 plus (switched from my new Galaxy Note 4 which was complete rubbish) back in late 2014. Then I slowly moved to a macbook pro 13 inch (late 2015) in early 2016. Then I upgraded to a Macbook Pro 15 inch (with the i9 processor) in late 2018. Then I got an iPad pro in 2020 and the iPhone 13 pro max a couple of weels ago (right after its release). It took years but I found myself to be completely cut off from windows and android (and I am not really sad that that happened).
Damn, Travis described me 2 years ago in the first 1 minute 47 seconds. And I was a Samsung Knight back then. I used to root my android phones with the custom OS’s. Now at my age, I have no interest in that stuff. Just want a phone that works, and will be supported for years. Now I have a IPad Pro 2021, MacBook Pro, Watch, and IPhone 13 Max Pro
Way to go Trav. I first started watching when you were picking up that 11 pm and saying you were gonna make it your main for awhile. Glad to see you're still with us at Apple. It just works!
I will say this. I had the Note 5 & now I have the Note 10+ and my phone never froze up. And yeah, Apple was ahead of everybody in the beginning, but now Samsung eco system is almost perfect. When I got my tablets, all I had to do was login and everything transferred to my tablets even all my passwords. With the samsung eco system, I would never switch to Apple at all!!
Had the MacBook but was always an android user. Then a few months ago my note 9 stopped holding charge and decided to get the iPhone 13. Now I have the iPhone MacBook AirPods and the iPad. This year I kinda hit that slope you were talking about
At least you and I can agree about using what works best for each. I hate how people on both sides can be condescending towards each another over individual choices. I'm an Android user. I work at a tech company. When customers ask for recommendations on phones or tablet, I never just try to point to Android because that's what I use. I connect them to what I think will work best for their needs.
All my friends have Samsung and I did till I got this iPhone 12.. love both but seems iPhone is easier to use! I love CarPlay but android auto is a pain. One reason why I went back to iPhone ! Keep up the good work Travis! I love watching your videos
Similar situation, from a long time android / Microsoft user. My laptop crapped out 2 yrs ago so I finally decided to try a MacBook. Damn! I hate that I liked it much better. Then a year later, I decided to try a tablet again & after a not-so-gr8 experience with Samsung android, I tried an ipad. Shit! I'm hooked. They work so well together. Everything Travis describes. And now my wife & I are ready to get rid of these Samsung Note 9 phones. We decided to go with the iPhone 13 Pro Max (wife with the 13 Pro *smaller hands*), so they are expected to arrive this coming week. I'm a bit nervous, but I'm very optimistic. In 3-4 years, our iphones will be worth much more on a trade-in than the latest Samsung phones would be.
10/10 on this video Travis, you hit everything that was my reason to switch initially too. and I switched when Android still had amazing, mind blowing features.
I don't get it why most of youtubers talking about customization like major difference between iPhone and android phone??? Today with little bit more effort you can customize decently your iPhone too. The difference is freedom, all what you can do with android and you can't with iPhone and features. Not icon shapes or colors
Thank you sir. This video sold me on using my next upgrade to change from Android to Apple. I used to do all the fancy stuff with Galaxy/Note phones. Like you said, cell phones are tools. I just need for to work.
Totally agree! Apple just makes thing so much easier. I fell on the same path of owning a IPhone, then IPad, AirPods, and now an older version of the laptop pro version. It just works! Had android but I don’t see myself going back to that ever! Great video!👍👍
Ever since I bought a MacBook Air M1, I knew this was the better ecosystem for my current needs (video/photo/office). I used to build PC rigs from scratch and overclock my cpus for gaming, but those days are long gone. I have been using a Pixel 2 XL for over four years, but now I ordered the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I want to work in an ecosystem that is well built, just works and most importantly is deeply interconnected. I don't want to hassle around with different plattforms and clunky synchronization anymore. I hope I did the right thing. :)

I can totally agree, I have had android devices for over ten years. I used to root my phones and add custom roms. However the 12 pro max is my first iphone. I just wanted to give it a try (Plus my wife , kids and a lot of my family are iPhone users ). I was surprised how well it works and how much I like it . I’m now I mid 40s and I don’t care as much about customizing. Just want it to work. You were spot on.
Your right man. The older I get the more I lean to Apple because of less customization. I like both Android and Apple but I went back to Apple with the 12 Pro Max and couldn’t be more satisfied. It just works. Also the little tweaks that Android doesn’t have like on Google Mail you can create a folder from your iPhone. You can’t do that on Androids GMail. For yahoo fantasy sports on iPhone it’s in Dark Mode on Android it’s not. Just those little tweaks!
Same here. Just order my first iPhone after using android all my life. Can't wait to receive my iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Agreed. Remember the time we would waste rooting and configuring. Only to wipe it out a few days later.
Exactly the same here
@@hectordtorres3 my smart phones over the years HTC thunderbolt, note 2, note 4, note 7(only a few weeks😂), s7 edge, note 9, note 10, iPhone 13 pro max(I hope I like it)
Oof. This hits hard and true. I was a die hard android user. Customized everything from the launcher, unofficial rooted shortcuts, anything you could imagine I was in it. Then I started getting lazy on Samsung Galaxy devices and only changed things once every few months. Got to the point I felt like if I wasn’t going full tilt in customization I was wasting the potential.
Flash to the Note9 launch. It was too much like my Note8 so there wasn’t anything there for me. Then the Note10 lost the headphone jack along with every other android manufacturer. Then Samsung announced the 8-series galaxy devices would be stuck on Android 9.
Decision time. I could have gotten a OnePlus McClaren edition but that would only get MAYBE 3 years of support. Then I noticed my work sponsored iPhone 6s+ was 4 years old at that point and still being updated to the latest iOS.
Well, hell, if I’m over the whole maximum customization thing and the lack of extended support across the board, I may as well try out an iPhone. Figured if I get the least expensive newest model I wouldn’t be subject to the sunken cost fallacy and evaluate the device accordingly. If I liked it, I’d have at minimum 4 years of support compared to the 3 I got out of a more expensive Android phone. Then the ecosystem grabbed me and dragged me in.
2008-2019 - Android user, screw Apple products
September 2019 - bought base model iPhone 11 at launch out of curiosity
December 2019 - bought stainless steel Apple Watch series 4 from Swappa since my Galaxy watch wasn’t really doing me much good
January 2020 - bought AirPod Pros
February 2020 - bought iPad Air
WWDC 2020 - thinking maybe I want one of those M1 MacBooks 🤔
September 2020 - screw it, I’m an Apple fan now. I’ll give the 11 to one of the kids since they’re due for a new phone and I’ll get that sweet blue 12 Pro Max
Same story as me! Good decision mate!
lol. It had to be the work phone that started it all. 😃
Similar story here. Bad battery and no support after 3 years sent me to Apple
@@khakiswag that support means a lot and android devices trend to being nearly disposable. Without security updates using an older device opens the wrong kind of door. Technically if we break down the price of an iPhone versus any Android flagship over the course of "guaranteed support" the iPhone comes out cheaper per year. Granted, that's operating under the assumption someone keeps their phone that long.
@@Otterplus That's what I keep trying to tell people, proprietary software support that well integrates with custom built hardware is more expensive than open-source software with hardware that gets shared across dozens of brands. Add update fragmentation because of manufacturers and carriers, fast depreciation...how much do you value those extra features? I mean if you want freedom, to use it more like a computer or workhorse and upgrade before the software feels too outdated then Android is the only option. iPhones aren't the most exciting products, but their focus on consistency and ease of use is really good; even if sometimes to their detriment (no high speed USB, no secondary authentication method, no sideloading [limited use], no expandable storage, etc etc). But you have to weigh the good vs the bad...and right now my applewatch and ipad 12.9 M1 along with icloud integration are very compelling...even my beats pro wireless and studio 3 are seamless.
My story is just the opposite I went from a lifetime iPhone user to using the fold series and now I'm hooked
What customization? As I get older, I don’t even use ringtones 😂.
100% agree man ! I keep my phone in silent mode, I don't care if someone call me either, I get notification something like that. Even my wife I don't care, see these things are meant to distract you & your goals. So, devices don't matter really in LIFE !
Same here lol
I still use both iOS and Android and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. I like having the best of both worlds.
❤️🎯
Same
Me to.. LoL
Iphone get boring after a while to me
I couldn’t care less about bubble color…but the integration between devices is INCREDIBLE! When I press play on my iPhone while watching a video on my iPad and it switches audio quickly to my iPhone…that’s awesome. When I open a website on my iPhone and can easily sling it to my iPad…thats fantastic. When I set my phone to DND and my iPad follows without me doing anything…I’m on board. I’ve been all android for 8 years and Apple is finally mature enough for me to get all in. Like you…I use what works. And right now…Apple works best.
and while on the couch with your iPad, you can pick up an incoming call right there, on your iPad - I love that! Things just work, almost always.
Exactly! This is the actual reason for me switch to an iPhone. I am tired of using a cheap Samsung tablet, a Pixel 2 XL smartphone and an old Windows PC. After getting a MacBook Air M1 I made the decision to slowly but surely switch to IOS, since their ecosystem with its continuity is unrivaled.
The battery life is the number one reason to buy the IPhone 13. It’s a piece of mind to know the phone will last until bed time regardless of heavy use.
I’ve figured it out. For battery you have to get the larger phones either with apple or android or go with and android manufacturer that values battery life on their smaller device’s.
*peace of mind
@@marvoinfo The battery on iPhone 13 and 12 base models is also pretty decent and will last you all day with medium to heavy use. Apple does very well with software optimizations that even a 2815mah or 3000mah battery will last you all day with heavy use. With Android phones, you would need around 4000mah batteries for similar use.
The mini models are a bit yikes when it comes to battery but that's a compromise made for something so tiny.
@@PurushNahiMahaPurush
It may be a while before I upgrade seeing I have the 12pro. That battery is ok but I know I’m going to be charging before the day is out. In some ways I miss my note because I know I could leave home without any other device and not have to feel like I was not going to be able to do laptop or tablet like stuff. I was also more confident in the battery lasting me at least until 10-11 at night. I know I’m going to have to charge up the pro before leaving work if I use it too much. It’s ok though seeing I can’t use it in the way I was using the android. I like the device integration more now on the iPhone as my memory is just not where it was. 😃 It’s easier to just put the phone down and use a the iPad to pick up where I left off seeing I’m watching more content when I get home.
How's the battery life on the iPhone 13 series in minus 20 celcius? Previous iPhones either froze or their batteries just died
The transformation part or evolution was hysterical ! “Well, you see what had happened” I’m done. Totally relate to you though man. I enjoy technology to the max. I have an android phone for “scumbag activities” like free Spotify etc etc and my iPhone for my daily stuff. Keep up the great work my guy
You've chosen convenience over enthusiasm.
When a person is young they are more likely to take risks. As that person grows older they are less likely to take risks because the mind tells them of the consequences. Which is great because as a dad I'm always worried that when my kids jump off of tables, I feel they will get hurt. But when I was young I jumped off of higher places and my parents yelling at me.
My point is it's not bad to ask for convenience but those who choose to be more riskier with their tech are also great.
You can buy a cup of cut pineapple for $3.99 a pound. You can also buy a whole pineapple for $3.99. Once you get used to eating cut fruit, going back to buying a fruit that you need to prep is very hard even though the cost of already cut fruit is higher.
You are right. I am now going through that. I have the Flip 3 and iPhone 12. And now I am having so many miss steps doing things on android. That you have no idea. And I am not talking about not knowing how to do things. It is just that they don’t work as seamlessly as they do on iOS.
Apps are not compatible with each other. Inside of the same OS. I have to do many more steps to perform one task. Or move back and forth from app to app in order to get things done.
I love enthusiasm but also it is becoming a big hazel.
I bought my phone because it is fun and different. Hello it bends. Form factor. But I am afraid that is the only thing keeping me from not letting go.
@@brosnet2005 I agree with your last statements. I love Android but iOS is very appealing too. I want timely updates. I am going with a Pixel 6 this year to see how that goes. I dunno if I'll ever let go of Android. I have never had Samsung phone... I might try that if I don't end up liking the pixel.
Well said I use to be young and didn’t want anything but a android then one day it just happened as I realize I don’t even use this stuff so I tried iPhone and omg it was way better
Convenience? Dude most of my friends use android phones and most android phones these days are convenient. This isn't 2012. Most phones are pretty advanced these days
@@wahm7872 His statement has nothing to do with who has what. It is all about the why. Apple ecosystem is convenient. The integration between iOS, MacOS, iPad OS and all their products has no par. This is not about who is better. It is all about why people keep one over the other. Even Travis said it. And what Kamaran is trying to explain on his response to the video is that it is convenience vs enthusiasm. Androids are fun. Bringing to the game what is new. But apple is striving for perfection over innovation.
You hit the nail on the head. I’m 33. Had android my whole life. I switched to Apple when the 12’s came out. Holy smokes! It is so nice to have something that’s just so easy to use. And like you said, works seamlessly with other Apple devices. I now have the 13 mini, and was blown away at how simple and seamless the transfer from the 12 Pro Max was. Definitely sticking with apple for a while.
This reminds me a lot of me I was DEEP into Android now I’m a full on Apple user and I don’t regret it at all. Android is still cool I just love the ecosystem of Apple it’s undefeated 💯❤️🔥
Hey Travis I hope all is ok. Your eyes don't seem to have as much of a blast making these tech vids anymore. Take care buddy
I think it's because deep down he loves Android? Momma always said watch the eyes, they tell it all! Thank you Travis for the content.
You switched to the light side, young padawan.
lol!
Dude your awesome

' Android manufacturers are in a race to be the first, not the best ' very well stated! I've always had both Android ( since galaxy S2 ) and iOS ( iPhone OG ) and felt the same! Today, the Note 20 ultra is my backup device with the 13 Pro Max ( or 13 PM as some call it ) being the primary! Adding to the stated benefits of iOS in this video, I also absolutely appreciate the dual sim functionality, customer support ( especially having a B&M store with, generally, same day resolution including needing a replacement ) and the general low depreciation of Apple devices when it comes to selling or trading in!
Lol this is way off. Not all Android manufacturers are equal. Samsung and Google pixel craft to be the best in their own strengths. For example, Google has amazing software features such as live translate. It's live transcribe is 100 percent accurate. You're not gonna find that on the apple.
I feel where you’re coming from. I’ve never been fully satisfied “tech wise” when I was on android and I also felt a bit overwhelmed with all the different things and options…I dealt with the lagging, updates taking forever, phone just stopped working, boot looping etc. but when I switched to iPhone I didn’t miss the themes( and I LOVED THE THEMES) but I didn’t miss them. I even tried out some awesome flagship android phones to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. Apple ain’t perfect but I done took a bite of the apple and I’m satisfied. I doubt I’ll switch back.
I love the flashback video and how you said you weren't going to get an Apple product and end up getting it.
Travis, you hit the nail on the head!! This is exact the reason’s why I left Android. Delayed upgrades, and too many gimmicky features.
I'm 100% with you. I used windows and android in the beginning, but I got older and I got tired of the constant issues. I tried apple... first the iPhone, then the iPad. The experience was smooth and oh so sweet!! Everything works and they all work well together. Are they perfect? No. But I like the apple experience far more than what I used to go through. 👍
I’m with you man! As I got older and my kids got older I found that I really needed a phone with great video. Once I got into the iPhone 12 series (I was waiting for iOS 14 for Home Screen widgets) and after I got over a few hiccups I was used to with Android my experience has been pretty amazing. When it comes to Apple it’s truly a lifestyle company because my lifestyle of capturing moments with video and pictures with my kids has so far been way better than when using my Android phones.
As someone who has been rooting phones since 2012, I can respect your decision. I can't see myself using anything apple just because I enjoy tinkering with admin settings too much 😂
100% agree. After finally making the switch after being on Android for years I just appreciate all the little quality of life things that Apple offers. While I’d like a more customizable Home Screen, I can’t say I really miss it. I also got tired of Android software from the update schedule to the actual software itself. I don’t see myself going back to Android unless the pixel line has somewhat of a similar ecosystem and a decent foldable. Otherwise I’m probably here to stay.
Do folks just not update apps in the background? Mine does that automatically. I get to choose when to do system updates as well so I never have had issues there really.
I find quality of life better on android since it just has built in options already there. Apple may have options from 10 years ago you don't like and you're stuck with it. It's like they own your phone instead of you.
I can seamlessly use my other devices too that aren't just apple no problem. My apple devices tend to go out of their way to not work well with other devices that aren't apple which decreases quality of life :(
Long time Android user since the 'Kick' lol.. BUT I've wanted to AW since it's debut for the health tracking and style. I tried the GW4 and for me, it just didn't work. I love my Galaxy S20 so I'm sad to let it go.. for now.. but I want that apple watch so I have no choice. Been testing a friends old iPhone 8 before I buy anything to see if I like the iOs and I sure do.. I don't care about the bells and whistles anymore. I actually appreciate that fact the watch will help me stay OFF my phone more and take care of my health as well as spend more time with my family. God Bless.
Same. I love how all my devices work so well together.
I have used a Galaxy phone for the last 8 years and just switched to the iPhone 13 mini. I wanted the small size again and my wife has iPhone and my son has an iPad. A lot of friends have iPhones too. They kept saying how great iMessage was.
I just don’t get the hype. You can’t schedule texts. Pinning conversations don’t look as nice on iPhone - you can’t see the text preview. It’s not easy searching for keywords through your texts.
Everything requires extra clicks on the iPhone. The notifications aren’t as nice on iPhone either. Galaxy allows you to mark texts as read from the notification or even reply from the notification.
I don’t have a laptop but thought I would get a MacBook Air down the line. I have to see if I stick with this iPhone first. Approaching the 30 day return window.
I love the physically smaller size though, the screen is big enough too.
I feel the same. iMessage is overrated, airdrop is overrated and the overall navigation and layout is unbearable. This may seem elementary but the idea that I still can't put the icons where I want is a deal breaker for me. Siri is still Siri. This idea that Apple knows what's best for us, coming from a tech guy, is very disappointing. Apple is notorious for screwing over the consumer...
U sure it’s 30 days? I thought it was 2 week return policy.
@@hhhmmmmmmmm through VZW, it’s 30 with a restock fee. I think it’s $50.
@@jclif77 no back button for consistent navigation across all screens and apps is horrible.
Good. Maybe enough time to check out pixel 6?
The G1 was amazing I remember when I 1st got it. I was a android user until the iPhone 5 came out & never looked back & I never been happier.
I had the iPhone in my late 30's and 40's, I'm 50 now and have a Fold 3, and it's better in nearly every way.
Yeah, that's how I got pulled in - then, eventually, slowly started to pull myself out. :D
It goes both ways for sure. :)
You're a smart man.
Being an android user is part of my identity and if I was to make an iPhone my main phone, I feel as if that would make me just “like everybody else”. I know how weird that sounds because 99% of the people close to me use iPhones so I’m not alien to the OS. But it’s that mental shift and how closely tied my identity is to the device I use.
Like you I edit all of my videos for my RUclips channel using an iPad pro and LumaFusion. But I'm still with a Pixel for the main reason that I use a PC at work and I love how Google apps are much more web-based. For example, and most importantly, I love texting from my PC in meetings! I also am pretty heavy Google app user and find them to work a little bit better or my Pixel 5. Also, all of my devices use USB-C (phone, jaybird earbuds, cameras, iPad...). I have USB-C chargers all over my house, in my car and at my office. If I ever switch to an iPhone I would have to purchase a lot of new chargers which doesn't make sense. But the one thing would make me switch is if Apple went to USBC on the iPhone and would allow you to iMessage from a web browser.
It’s the opposite here in the US. When I go to peoples houses, they have nothing but Apple chargers all over the place. Are chargers really expensive nowadays?
@@bmakel I'm in the US but I'm mainly referring to my house. For two or three car chargers and four or five wall chargers it would be over a hundred bucks. Then there's the issue of all of my other devices charging with USB-C so it's remembering both styles of chargers when I travel as well. I know there's differences of opinion but I really wish Apple would just move the iPhone to USB-C
You can text on your PC with Apple. If you get an Apple PC or Laptop then you can text with iMessage also.
@@joeytribbiani6083 by PC I mean a windows-based machine which is what I use it work.
@@ClintGibbs Ik… windows installed a feature for Apple in their system.
Why chose one over the other? I use an iPad mini and a Fold 3, best of both worlds. They both work flawlessly, I've been extremely happy with both devices.
One thing I don't get locked into though are Apple's "suggested" apps, such as FaceTime and iMessage. I try to use apps that are compatible with all devices, such a duo and whatsapp, and the likes of that.
I honestly don't think one's better than the other, especially in this day in age. I like the iPad mini (latest version, just got it last week) screen a little better, but the Fold 3 outshines it by quite a bit in game performance. So I just switch between the 2 at the will, and welcome what each device offers.
This is a concise, detailed and phenomenal explanation of the video title. I try to explain that to people all the time. Android is very customizable. But I don’t care about that even 1/20th as much as I do the convenience and features of an iPhone
I'm not customizing anything, the Android platform is just better for everyday use in all cases except camera and apps that integrate into camera like social media apps.
The solution is to have a flagship from each platform and compliment the weaknesses across both.
ABSOLUTELY! I have been a die hard Android fan since the MyTouch 3G came out until my last phone which was the Samsung Galaxy S10+. I loved how I could customize absolutely everything of my phone and always hated the look of the old iPhones and said I would never switch. However, I would find myself getting frustrated with every android update and having to wait months to receive the same updates on my phone. Like you're showcasing all these cool features and getting me really excited for it but now I'm being forced to wait damn near a year for said update to get to my phone? I ended up switching to the iPhone 11 (through amazon renewed of course) and I honestly don't see myself going back to android for the foreseeable future.
You always hear about people praising the Apple ecosystem and think they're just overreacting to something that's so mediocre...but now that I'm all in on that ecosystem.....I get it.
I walked that path since iPhone 5s. Happy with an iPhone and others iDevices. I know it’s expensive but in the end of the day the “just works” experience like you said is more worth to me.
I agree that Apple products work seamlessly and are very well built, however, I enjoy the customisation of Android products as well as the variety offered by different manufacturers. I am not a ‘young person’ either, I’m nearly 55. Android is just my preference. I agree with what you say regarding brand loyalty. It’s not about which is best, just which works better for the individual concerned. Great video.
Switched to Apple about 5 years ago and haven't looked back. Everything works seamlessly between my iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Mac Powerbook and iMac. No matter what device I'm on the Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Email, Photos, Files and more are there AND the interface is similar so it's very intuitive. I ditched Microsoft Office for Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. Yes, it does take some getting used to but it's FREE, included on all Apple devices and you can save as PDF or Microsoft format if you are sharing your files with a non-Apple user.
integration is unmatched between devices; perfect example is recently I needed my wife to sign on a pdf as a witness. I was surprised that one of the options I had and used was to read the contract on my Mac, selected to create a signature using my iPhone which it connected and my wife used my iPhone screen with her finger to sign. There was no pre-configuration or set up required; it just worked.
I went from the iPhone 5, to the Galaxy S5, then the S7, & then I switched back to the iPhone with the X S Max & then the 11 Pro Max. I had gotten an iPad Pro from my college in 2016, which I just upgraded last year for the 2020 11" iPad Pro. In between I got the second gen AirPods with the wireless charging case for my iPhone, & then I got the AirPods Pro with a college student deal when I got my iPad Pro. I didn't upgrade my iPhone last year but I'm now getting the 13 Pro Max. I don't have a MacBook yet atm. I have an HP Spectre x360 touchscreen convertible laptop with pen support since I got before the M1 MacBooks came out last year. I might consider getting a 14" MacBook in the future. Since I've got 4 Apple products that work well together that would make the most sense. But then part of me misses Android & makes me want to get a used flagship Android like the S10, S10+, or Note10+ to revisit Android since I haven't had one since 2018. Android phones work better with Microsoft especially Samsung Galaxy phones bc of their partnership with Microsoft. Samsung has actually managed to make their own ecosystem between their phones, smartwatches, wireless earbuds, tablets, laptops, & you could even include TVs in that ecosystem as well since they make so many TVs. If they could just match Apple's software rollout speed & longevity that would make them more compelling to more people. And they need more physical retail stores. I like both Apple & Android as you can tell lol. But investing in both ecosystems can be costly so it takes time to invest in both as a techie. I've grown up with Apple since my iPod Nano & iPod Touch which is what made me want to get an iPhone, but then the limitations of iOS then & some of the limitations that still exist make me want to get a used Android flagship from 1-2 years ago that still has really impressive specs that hold up well into 2021 & 2022. I'm glad that Samsung gives their devices 3-4 years of software updates now. That's a big improvement from before. Google as a whole needs to improve the software update rollout for all of the different Android brands & stop having carriers get in the way of that process
Google phones have 6 years of updating now
@@MrYoungfox23 will the battery life be good until then . I really doubt on that
You’ve nailed it and I switched to my 1st iPhone 13 Pro Max this year. The last straw for me was Finding out that the note 9 will not receive Android 12. Right now in my life I prioritize battery life, polished software and apps on iOS, and five years worth of Software support.
I stumbled across your channel doing my research to move up from a Samsung S9 Plus to an iPhone 13. I work with a Mac at home and the conductivity argument is very strong. Yes this is a deep rabbit hole to go down. I have really enjoyed your clear and well thought out reasons for your Apple choice. Like you I just want it all to work without needed to fuss to get it to do so. I will be happy to see what else you have on offer. I am a manufacturing engineer and like tools that do exactly what they are supposed to do without a fuss.
My path was iPhone 6, iPad, Apple TV, AirPods, Apple Watch…I was not excited about the watch but it really shines at work for me.
For over 30 years I was a PC guy. Just finished my latest DIY gaming PC a few months before the pandemic. But then I needed to do work online and got a Mac Mini. Absolutely loved it. Then I got the new iPad Mini. Absolutely loved it. Ive been an Android guy since Gingerbread. But yesterday, I ordered my iPhone 13 Pro.
They have me now. Get off the grid while you can or you'll be next!
Same thing happened to me... I was an Android user until a few weeks ago... I ordered an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I already familiar with iOS because I have an iPad mini and a Mac pro.
You can always sell your apple stuff and get most of your money then go back to Android. That’s what I say if I ever go back as main devices.
I agree. I’ve been an Android user for such a loooong time after Blackberry. I just switched to iPhone a week ago and I am loving it. I know it sounds impossible, but since I got the iPhone, I never experienced a hiccup or lag or jitters when scrolling and browsing from one app to another… ❤️
I was also an android user. I had the G1 just like you and did marvel at the iPhone 1 which i also had. Used to root my android phone for better sound and updates but realised over the years Apple honed their product line and now i went back to the galaxy fold but now daily drive a iphone 13. There is no denying Apple are slick at the eco system and even my car uses Android auto in a weird way to Apple CarPlay. So for me its iphone from now on and don’t think ill go back to android even though i used to be a XDA developer and rooted my phones all the time. Yes your right on the customisation and i do miss it sometimes but not worth the sacrifice for the fragmentation and bugginess of android.spot on with your video!
Glad to see this video. You are 100% correct. It works. It's expensive but think about devices that are years old and today are running the latest software. The Samsung Renewed that we purchased based on your review will be the last Android we will have. Thank you Travis. We see the light and we are happy.
Galaxy S3 - S8 here. Got an iPad for university. Worked great. Liked the OS and look and decided to try out the IPhone 12Pro. Also works great. Had a Galaxy Watch before and wanted one for the IPhone too since Samsung didn't fully support their Products on IOS. Now I'm stuck with the Watch SE. I feel you.
I laughed so hard at the first part of the video. Especially at the “ You see, what had happened was…” part. That is exactly how I migrated into a complete Apple ecosystem of devices. The Apple ecosystem is what makes Apple so good. Everything just syncs and communicates with each other efficiently. In the end THAT is worth so much more to 99.9% of consumers than any bells and whistles.
I've had this dicussion with my friend who is a hardcore Samsung enthusiast (and another friend who works for Samsung), I just want convenience. I want my things to work and Apple's apps that sync across devices is just perfect. They're basic, I know there are better things but it's just the ease of use. I don't care for adding custom launchers, installing themes, sideloading, complete custom control. They're cool and useful features but I wasn't using them on my Samsung or my OnePlus phones. A cool and useful feature that I use every day with my MacBook and iPhone is Airdrop. My friend enjoys playing a Nintendo DS emulator on his Z Fold 3, and that's so frigging cool. I just have a different use. Idk some people seem to think that picking an iPhone over a Samsung or Pixel is dumb and uninformed. I prioritise convenience when it comes to my tools.
I still haven't chose a side. I just buy both. My sim goes back and forth. I'll probably never choose just one.
Yup. Prob get pixel 6, just bc. iPhone user.
I sorta still do that but my android phone is offline. When I want to carry one phone I leave it at home.
Same here! I'm going to be a dual user forever!😂
The best breakdown on this topic I've seen on youtube!! Great video!
Wow you definitely opened my eyes about a few key points. Very good video man definitely subbing. Going to switch from Android to iPhone tomorrow 😊
Hi! First time viewer on the channel. I’ve been plowing through a lot of apple videos recently and stumbled onto yours. I am an apple user. For context i work in IT and here in Sweden we are i believe the worlds 1st os 2nd iPhone users per capita in the world. 85% of businesses use iPhones. Of my friends only a fraction use android devices. I have used iPhone since its international introduction in 2008 with the iPhone 3G. I used to use a PC but switched to Mac and used a Mac exclusively between 20010-2017 when i switched back to PC again for work purposes. I work a lot with Microsoft cloud services and device management on the daily and wanted the tightest of integration into Microsoft’s services for work. I also switched my private devices to PC and the Surface line. For educational purposes I’ve used androids too but not as my main device. BUT i switched sides for about a year having the Samsung S10e as my daily. Did NOT like it. So i ditched it for an iPhone 8 Plus and then grew my apple ecosystem with an Apple Watch, an iPad Pro a HomePod mini and most recently an M1 MBA. Of course I’ve had the Apple TV throughout and upgraded to the latest and greatest just 2 months ago. Compared to 2010 the Apple ecosystem is more useful and integrated than ever. I have a hard time seeing myself ever switching. I like it here. Everything, taken with a grain of salt, just works, most of the time. I do combine my apple home with SONOS speakers but i miss CarPlay in my Tesla… It’s NOT the devices themselves that make me want to stay, but the combination of them, the REAL product Apple sells. The ecosystem
I totally agree. I started on Andoids and loved the phones, but after a year and a half it could easily take 5 - 10 minutes to make a phone call. It doesn't matter if an IPhone is brand new or 4 years old - it works.
I started with iPhone 3, 3GS, 4. Then Samsung released the Note 2…and it compelled me to switch to Samsung. Note 3, Note 4, S9 plus… then, the iPhone 11 captured my attention…mainly for the camera and video recording quality. Bought the S21 Ultra, bought the iPhone 13 pro max. There are things I love and hate about both, honestly. Android has a much better file system and default music player. iPhone has some killer apps like LumaFusion and amazing video shooting quality. It’s a frustrating choice. Love the m1 macs though, since I tend to game on console not PC.
My 6S Plus worked stellar for years. Never changed the battery as well. Just kept it in the charger when the battery eventually dropped below spec. The charging port went south as well I guess to more than 3,000 ingress and egress of the lightning plug. Finally stepped up to an iPhone 13 PM 512gb. Yes it’s a high spec device but to me just a nice evolution of technology I was already used too. It synced to my 2018 iPad Pro and my 2014 MBP. Seamless integration. Finally looked at my automatic watch collection and said “hey let’s try something new”, then pre ordered a Apple Watch 7. The Apple ecosystem plain outright works without fail. And at 54 y.o. that to me is the only thing that matters.
Well said! This is exactly what I’ve found bouncing from Apple to Android over the years. I just need a device to work. The freezing issue on S21 Ultra is quite annoying.
I had 3 iPhones in a row, and now I'm two years into my 2nd Android. I had some issues with the iphones like one of them turning off in the middle of calls.
Perhaps surprisingly, I've had zero issues on my Androids (Samsung Galaxy S7 & Huawei P30 Pro).
I'm mourning the fact that the new Huawei's have been blocked from Google Services (political rivalry and all) because I'd buy a new Huawei P50 Pro in a heartbeat if it still had them.
I do like the seamless integration between iOS/Apple devices. I used to have the same bricking issues with my previous Samsung Galaxy Notes. It’s extremely hard to get an awesome picture as well with my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. But, until Apple makes taking notes 📝 easier, I’ll have to stick with my Note 20 Ultra 👍🏾.
Samsung pictures are better then ios they are very grainy
Thank you sir. 🤣🤣🤣 I went from Android user since the G1 to Apple and it happened to me in the same way. From iPod to iPhone to MacBook. Great channel. Keep up the Great work.
Travis YOU are the reason I switched to the Iphone after 10 years on Android. And its so easy to communicate in all different ways with family and friends. If I ever see you in the Renton, I'll introduce myself to you and thank you for the nudge back to Iphone! Thanks my Brotha!
Fantastic insight and hits the nail on the head with my thoughts also. I've always had an iPhone and switched to Android almost 3 years ago and got the Galaxy S10+. No doubt a great phone but the reality is I'm 48yo and the novelty of customisation and all the features Android have to offer have worn off. I don't use the phone to anywhere near its capacity. But what really hit home was that my kids, family and work colleagues all use the iPhone. It's just makes more sense as the experience connecting with everyone on the iPhone will just be simpler and more enjoyable. Which is why I am now waiting (impatiently ☺) for my new IPhone 13 Pro to arrive!
I'm thinking of switching to the iPhone 15 pro max from Galaxy Note 10 plus. I've been in Android world for over 10 plus years and want something new, tired of android bugs/ glitches and want something much simpler that works! Also there's so many features that I don't use and get overwhelmed with all the customization. I'm waiting for the buzz and kinks to be ironed out for the iphone 15 and the Galaxy S24 line to come out before I commit to switching over. Thanks for making this video 😄
Went to iPhone for safety and health focus. iPhone, Google Pixel's SOS/emergency will call local three digit emergency services. Samsung, nope! Won't even let you program the three digit number as an emergency contact. So frustrating.
And yes, the battery life on the 13 Pro MAX is amazing!
Started in a similar fashion Travis! I was an Android user for over 10 years. Even (still) have a 2013 Google Chromebook (made of aluminum and originally $1500 bucks new…basically as close to a MacBook your gonna get this side of Android)
Started getting bored of rooting androids and custom roms, and always having SOME sort of issue. Something wouldn’t work right. Or at all. Wanted something different. Went from a OnePlus 7 pro to a XS Max. Liked it, so next came the Apple Watch. Then an upgrade to an 11 pro max. Then air pods. Then the iPad Pro 12.9 inch. Now I’m about to upgrade to the 14 pro max, and looking for a cheap and inexpensive MacBook for basic use. Yes I still have a soft spot in my heart for google, but I can’t ever really see myself switching sides again. The UI experience to me is on another level compared to Android, and when you have multiple devices, everything seamlessly integrates LIGHT YEARS better than it does with Android devices. Once your in an ecosystem, regardless of which side, it’s hard to get out, walled garden or not.
at the end of the day boils down to what you want out of a phone. I use andriod but not any kind of andriod device, Galaxy Notes exclusively.
The S-pen is very useful to me, plus the boxy design.
I couldn’t agree more. I used to be a big time Apple hater and used to always lament the perceived lack of features in iPhones. Eventually I became tempted to give the iPhone 4S a try but eventually switched back to Android. Around 2012 a colleague let me used his MacBook Pro (to run Windows) and I was hooked. I realized through using the iPhone that I stopped caring about niche features that I didn’t use in my day to day routine. I spent most of time using iTunes, iMessage, social media apps, and the camera. All things that apple has mastered. Years later, I am sometimes tempted to try something new but am usually reminded immediately as to why it wouldn’t be a good choice for me to switch (too much segmentation, inferior battery life, lack of updates, no iMessage or FaceTime, etc).
I’ve had the same journey. From the G1 to the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
I went from my iPhone 5 to the Galaxy S5 & then the S7. After having mixed to bad experiences with both of those phones, I decided to switch back to the iPhone. I don't think I would have such a mixed to bad experience anymore bc I know not to get the base storage size & the specs have improved drastically from the S7 to the S10/10+ & Note10+
5:50 Even as a die-hard Android user (my first Samsung watch was once yours), I will admit that the way Apple handles updates is nice. I was nearly forced into Apple in a way, because of the lagging Android security updates. I've since moved to Pixel phones and no longer have that issue. Also, for me, I'm heavily into the google system for storage purposes.
I just became an IPhone user like a month ago. I was with android since the bugging and I felt it was time to try something different. I have a bunch of Apple products at home and love how they all work so well with each other. I'm here to stay not switching back. I don't blame you for leaving also.
I feel ya. I have had every note phone 📱 by Samsung and when I switched to Apple it was just a very solid tool that I just couldn’t deny any longer. I was tired of customizing everything I just needed a tool that worked and worked well and worked all the TIME ⚡️👊❤️
You completely brought me back to high school with the G1 and the Sidekick them phones was awesome back then
As frustrating as it is learning the Apple Ecosystem after buying an iPhone 12 and my now 8 year old daughter teaching me the basics, I'm learning. I bought my daughter an iPad for her birthday and as I was doing the initial upstart and playing with it, she almost didn't get it because I wanted it. Now I want an iPad pro or the mac Air laptop and the Mac mini to integrate with my humble desktop. Geez, I think I'm hooked!!!
Still an android user here but seriously thinking about switching. My main reason is the os updates. Android sketchy updates and different times for different manufacturers is annoying
Travis,
Thank you for that thoughtful video. I too, was a longtime user of Android, starting with the Samsung Galaxy S. I so looked on Apple with disdain due to their lack of customisation. After going through a Pixel 3 (loved vanilla Andorid and regular updates). Then a Galaxy S8+ came next. Hated Samsung's duplication of apps already available in Android, I mean, WTF? It's like reinventing the wheel or something. If someone is using Gmail and Google Calendar already, why would they switch to Samsung's version?
But I digress. The last and final straw that broke my Android smartphone using back was my LG V-60. Do have it orphaned after only a year's ownership really hurt. And then, it started rebooting itself down for no particular reason. And then it started shutting itself down after ten minutes on standby (not overheating or anything like that). Needless to say, I looked to other possibilities.
Never an Apple fan, I'd bought a Mac Mini last year (and loved it), after my finicky PC kept crashing on me. Love the new Mac--so reliable. I should mention I also have a Chromebook (wish I had bought a MacBook instead but couldn't afford it at the time). I hate my Chromebook. It is a top of the line convertible model (two years old) with the ability to draw and sketch on it as well (one of the reasons I bought it). However, it is so slow to boot, and the rotation so slow to change its orientation when I change the angle I am drawing at, it's just sad. I should mention I also had a Samsung Gear S3 watch with my S8+ which was a lot of fun. But now, I can't wait until I can afford my first iPad Air, MacBook Air, and of course, an Apple Watch.
So thanks so much once again, Travis, for your inciteful video and no-hold-barred honesty. It is greatly appreciated. And yes, I liked and subscribed already. :-)
I always come back to this video. My first iPhone was the iPhone 5. I started off with the G1,side kicks etc etc. Switched back to android back in 2015. Now I’m back to iPhone 7 years later with 13 PM,Series 7 and iPad Air. Love it here. Have had thoughts about going back because I miss something’s. But overall feel I made the best decision
My switch to apple was the very same way. I’ve been a lifelong android user and it all started when my wife wanted a device to use with her cricut vinyl machine so we got the M1 air. Now I’ve fully switched I’ve got a 13 pro max and an Apple Watch and AirPods as well.
Used both, prefer Android. Better home screen management, called ID, better widgets, etc
Had the G1 and many Androids since 2022. I started w/a iPad mini for streaming. My mid-range Samsung tablet couldnt do it & my note 12 would overheat. Got Airpods Pro (great headphones). A friend sold me his 12 Pro Max for $200. Then I bought the Watch (w/ dozens of bands). Bought our first Mac on Prime Day 2023. May get the Vision Pro
Agree totally man! As a user of both platforms there's just a smoothness with the whole ecosystem and the timely updates are absolutely a very important feature
You’re basically telling my story for work I got upgraded on my employee provider line from a iPhone 6 to an iPhone 11 and that sparked the curiosity and eventually I got me an iPhone 11 for myself then decided to go Pro Max and eventually got me a watch on iPad AirPods and now AirPods Max which are lovely by the way the high price and basically I am locked into the ecosystem I love how the updates come quick
Good video my man keep it up
Android and IOS is like two family members fighting, when you know it's pointless.
I'm stuck in-between both, so I purchased both.
Welcome. I was an android Nexus guy. Loved me some pure, unadulterated android love! Then, everything I could mod, root rom, tweet adjust, etc. Then, it changed into you have to always tweet, mod, adjust, etc. It just got old. I had an iPhone for work, then got an iPad to replace my Nexus 10… then became a convert with the iPhone 6s. Android does more, but apple just works. Waiting for my free (ATT promotion) 13 pro max. Android is still cooler, and it’s tempting to go beck, but…nah. I’m old and apple is so easy. Great video.
As someone who has used both, I HATED that you wouldn’t get a new software update for the longest time. At the time of me having an Android phone, it also wasn’t as easy to find the level of accessories that you could for iPhones. I know things have changed a lot now, but Apple does a lot right and that’s a good selling point to go back and stay there.
Yes. Definitely the lack of software support.
You don’t get updates as often. So if it’s got bugs, you’re stuck with it for god knows how long.
Same...I started with the iPhone 6 plus (switched from my new Galaxy Note 4 which was complete rubbish) back in late 2014. Then I slowly moved to a macbook pro 13 inch (late 2015) in early 2016. Then I upgraded to a Macbook Pro 15 inch (with the i9 processor) in late 2018. Then I got an iPad pro in 2020 and the iPhone 13 pro max a couple of weels ago (right after its release). It took years but I found myself to be completely cut off from windows and android (and I am not really sad that that happened).
Damn, Travis described me 2 years ago in the first 1 minute 47 seconds. And I was a Samsung Knight back then. I used to root my android phones with the custom OS’s. Now at my age, I have no interest in that stuff. Just want a phone that works, and will be supported for years. Now I have a IPad Pro 2021, MacBook Pro, Watch, and IPhone 13 Max Pro
Way to go Trav. I first started watching when you were picking up that 11 pm and saying you were gonna make it your main for awhile. Glad to see you're still with us at Apple. It just works!
I will say this. I had the Note 5 & now I have the Note 10+ and my phone never froze up. And yeah, Apple was ahead of everybody in the beginning, but now Samsung eco system is almost perfect. When I got my tablets, all I had to do was login and everything transferred to my tablets even all my passwords. With the samsung eco system, I would never switch to Apple at all!!
Had the MacBook but was always an android user. Then a few months ago my note 9 stopped holding charge and decided to get the iPhone 13. Now I have the iPhone MacBook AirPods and the iPad. This year I kinda hit that slope you were talking about
At least you and I can agree about using what works best for each. I hate how people on both sides can be condescending towards each another over individual choices. I'm an Android user. I work at a tech company. When customers ask for recommendations on phones or tablet, I never just try to point to Android because that's what I use. I connect them to what I think will work best for their needs.
I remember that G1..we had a test unit to play around with back when I worked in the cell phone department for Walmart in 09’
All my friends have Samsung and I did till I got this iPhone 12.. love both but seems iPhone is easier to use! I love CarPlay but android auto is a pain. One reason why I went back to iPhone ! Keep up the good work Travis! I love watching your videos
Similar situation, from a long time android / Microsoft user. My laptop crapped out 2 yrs ago so I finally decided to try a MacBook. Damn! I hate that I liked it much better. Then a year later, I decided to try a tablet again & after a not-so-gr8 experience with Samsung android, I tried an ipad. Shit! I'm hooked. They work so well together. Everything Travis describes. And now my wife & I are ready to get rid of these Samsung Note 9 phones. We decided to go with the iPhone 13 Pro Max (wife with the 13 Pro *smaller hands*), so they are expected to arrive this coming week. I'm a bit nervous, but I'm very optimistic. In 3-4 years, our iphones will be worth much more on a trade-in than the latest Samsung phones would be.
10/10 on this video Travis, you hit everything that was my reason to switch initially too. and I switched when Android still had amazing, mind blowing features.
I’m in the same boat my man. I’ve had a iPhone XR for nearly 3 years now. iPad and air pods as gifts. It’s just damn good
Ive the iphone 12 pro, i also have the ipad pro 2017 10.5. Both work well together and do what i need well.
I don't get it why most of youtubers talking about customization like major difference between iPhone and android phone??? Today with little bit more effort you can customize decently your iPhone too. The difference is freedom, all what you can do with android and you can't with iPhone and features. Not icon shapes or colors
Thank you sir. This video sold me on using my next upgrade to change from Android to Apple. I used to do all the fancy stuff with Galaxy/Note phones. Like you said, cell phones are tools. I just need for to work.
I can relate to how you got pulled in. I went from a G3 slide to iPhone 6. Now I’m apart of the Dark Side 100 percent with literally everything Apple…
Totally agree! Apple just makes thing so much easier. I fell on the same path of owning a IPhone, then IPad, AirPods, and now an older version of the laptop pro version. It just works! Had android but I don’t see myself going back to that ever! Great video!👍👍
Ever since I bought a MacBook Air M1, I knew this was the better ecosystem for my current needs (video/photo/office). I used to build PC rigs from scratch and overclock my cpus for gaming, but those days are long gone. I have been using a Pixel 2 XL for over four years, but now I ordered the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I want to work in an ecosystem that is well built, just works and most importantly is deeply interconnected. I don't want to hassle around with different plattforms and clunky synchronization anymore. I hope I did the right thing. :)
