As a lawyer, I just can't use an iPhone. Okay, I get it, it's better in several ways, makes some tasks a lot easier, and within the Apple ecosystem, it feels magical. But for my routine and line of work, it just doesn't work. I'm using a Fold 4 for about a year and a half. The first feature that alone made me a Samsung convert is the automatic call recorder. Having recordings of everything said on a call is a lifesaver in my legal practice. Using two apps at the same time is amazing, and I simply can't go back to a single-app view. At the end of the day, it's the same old story: there's no single best device. There's the one that fits our needs better. For me, at least for now, it will have to be a Samsung flagship. And I have to say, I've become addicted to your content! Please, continue this amazing work!
You must live outside the US. In the US call recording is not supported by any phone manufacturer due to the individual state laws on the practice. Some its ok, some its not.
"As a lawyer"...🤣🤣🤣 gotta be honest man, maybe because I work in tech, but the absolute dumbest people I've met when it comes to understanding anything new (let alone technology) were lawyers. I've seen people in your line of work stick to the oldest pieces of technology for the dumbest reasons. There was head of counsel few years ago that didn't know you could download Whatsapp in his phone and use it simultaneously with iMessage, and because of that reason he was using a 6 year old phone that "came with Whatsapp" LMAO. And we couldn't make him change, despite being a massive security risk.
yes even at my workplace , the auto login , phone swipe , email on phone are all available on iphones only . Android users are treated as second class citizens, you want to send an email from your corporate email, better find a laptop or workstation . You want to join a zoom call , sorry but we cant let you use Bluetooth earphones . you want to login with your phone, Nah use your id and pretend its 1999
I use both Apple products and Samsung/google products. Personally I never experienced any issues with app availability on Android other than some Apple specific apps. But I am no filmmaker or photographer. I think apps have improved drastically on Android during the last few years compared to how it used to be. And if you are into open source apps there is a huge library there as well which you will never be able to get on iOS. In terms of bad apps, I have seen a lot of pretty horrible apps, but that goes for both iOS and Android.
Agreed, I can't think of a single app on my iPhone that I use regularly that I can't get on my Pixel. At the same time, as someone who has a homelab who hosts a lot of their own services, there are A LOT of open-source apps only available for Android. So for me it's actually the reverse situation lol
@@nicmart Interesting, would you mind elaborating how it was clumsy? But the password thing, how is it any different compared to IOS? There are many options for auto saving accounts and passwords, so you don't have to type them in everytime. And if you don't use that, you just write the password like normally right?
Android ecosystem having so much fragmentation just pisses the devs off. For iPhone, create this and boom! For android, oh there are dozens of chipset, screensize, skins and shitload so devs can't help even if they try to.
I use Apple for work (Company issued phone) and Android for personal. The restrictions on Apple is the most frustrating part of using iPhone. iPhone doesn't have DEX or an easy accessible file system. iPhone and its accessories are expensive while my Samsung Galaxy S23FE does everything and more than the iPhone. I cant side load apps on my iPhone while I can on my Samsung. My Samsung allows for customizable icon packs along with different launchers. With the last update, Android offers live translation during phone calls.
In absolute fairness you can sideload apps onto an iPhone, it's just a pain in the arse to actually do. You need a free Apple Developer account and an app on your computer like Sideloadly. You can then sideload .ipa files but only three at a time and you need to refresh them every seven days.
@@voteDC I would probably get through the pain of doing that If I had an iPhone, but that's complete bullshit. You shouldn't need to leave the phone to install an app If I'm using my PC to install stuff on my phone, it's probably that I'm installing fucking windows 11 for arm on a Poco X3 Pro or reinstalling my whole operating system Also the generally more powerful iPhones don't even have any good emulators so that power is just sort of wasted
@@Jbrimbelibap I have an old iPhone SE (2016) that I messed around with sideloading on and it really wasn't worth the effort. Now that Apple are allowing emulators onto the App Store I'd actually consider an iPhone for my next device. I have a Poco X3 Pro and I've been looking into Project Renegade. It's a lot more daunting than sideloading a .ipa onto an iPhone.
That is why i always use both ios and android. Like some days i want all the tweaking and changing, but the other day all i want is a phone that just works. Even now iam not selling my iphone x, as it still take a lot of great pictures (not an overprocessing like the newer gen) while daily driving my galaxy
@@orangeyellow-me1pzas an android user since the start of smartphone era. Ever heard how long android phones fixes their bugs? That doesnt happen to Iphone. My note 10 plus had this bug where I cant update apps, spen not working properly, connectivity issues especially with data. I know you dont know yet what "it just works" means but it's true. Just switched to Iphone when the iphone 13 pro max launched. Reason why? My wife and I bought new phone in 2019z she is still using her iphone 11 pro max, on the latest IOS version still fluid and usable. While I only used my note 10 plus for more or less 2 years. So you might also say Iphone just works longer than androids.
@@ranju2873lol. Think of this. Note 10 plus and Iphone 11 pro max both released 2019. Which phone do you think is on its latest OS version? Then which phone do you think is compatible with newer app version? That's the reason why it just works. Android phones almost always not on its latest OS version. Even if Samsung promise 4 years support you can never expect it to get update on time. It's only good for the first year of its release then will become outdated in just a year unless the new OS version is out. The problem is the older the android the longer the wait time.
First video I have watched of you. Very interesting and real. I was shocked that you are not a 1+ million RUclips channel. I am glad RUclips decided to show you to me.
The thumbnail and start of the video reminded me of one of iOS’ biggest flaws. You can only copy one thing to a clipboard you can’t manage, and it self deletes after an hour. I’d give up copy paste between devices in favor of having a clipboard with memory that I can manage and copy multiple bits of information to. I’ve also found lots of the apps I use for work are drastically unoptimized on iOS as opposed to their Android version.
Living without clipboard is just way too difficult now especially after using it hundreds of times everyday on windows. Not having clipboard is still somewhat okayish on iPhone but it must be there on mac. I don't know how can people even live without that
@@abhishekkr4004on mac, as for almost any problem you have with it, there are free apps for it, and paid ones with better experience, but for this one i’ve found raycast to be the best, it’s a spotlight substitution that can do a WHOLE lot more than spotlight, and has a built in clipboard, also it has an extension store with thousands of free extensions
Apple made it harder for developers to offer same service both on Android and iOS. iOS limits those app so that you will be forced to use apps that are specifically made for iOS . That’s what I learned after switching from Android to IOS .
@@babor_I'd like if Android start to do the same thing, like that no more lazy développers. And they don't want to lose 3/4 of their users who use android phones...
So, a long time ago I was an iPod Touch user and generally I was very happy about the device. After that for 10 years I used the best Android phones available including HTC M8, Samung S7, Note 8, then Fold 3 and now... I'm writing this comment from iPhone 12 mini. Literally everything works better on iPhone. Starting from phone calls, which open immediately, Teams doesn't have bug which disables your speaker for other apps, Outlook which should be an Android optimised app is million times faster. If you click on notification from the lock screen apps open immediately compared to what I saw in my fold3. I miss the big foldable screen and specially the S-Pen in the Note8, but the reliability is so much better!
I remember trying an iPhone 7 and 13 mini. Holy hell, those phones were atrocious for my usage. There were so many things I couldn't do. I couldn't block ads in RUclips anymore, unless I started paying for it, I couldn't block ads and pop ups efficiently because the browsers are all just mobile safari and it is useless (the extensions on chrome and Firefox are just better), I couldn't run emulators which finally became a thing the other day for iPhones (let's see how long that lasts), I couldn't download apps that Apple doesn't approve of, no torrents, if I torrents an OS how do I get the file? If I downloaded an album in 24 bit I couldn't just listen to it immediately (maybe there was a way but I could not figure it out), no 24 bit flac support, Bluetooth sounded worse because no AptX HD, no LDAC either, storage was a huge problem because file management was worse because of how half butt Apple's implementation is, keyboards sucked and Apple would turn them off in certain instances, face ID during COVID 🤣🤦🏿♂️, Apple Maps was the bane of my existence. It also liked being default for many things though it sucked. SIRI IS DUMB. Her stupidity annoyed the hell out of me. That's why he kept talking about automation. Normally I'd just ask Google Assistant to take care of it and we've seen enough comparisons over the years to know that Siri is dumb. Now there's Gemini and Siri is even further behind. The problems this RUclipsr went over are definitely real and opened my eyes to how poorly supported Android is on cinematography/videography or whatever but I don't work with this stuff and neither does most people. His parking App needs to be addressed by whatever government officials they have. In South Florida we have maybe 3 and all work wonderfully on all my Android phones and if there is a problem you can use the browser (I had to do this once a couple years ago).
@@orangeyellow-me1pz Yeah. That depends on usage, iPhones were always targeted into creativity market like movie makeing. I personally don't use assistants. In Poland the only one that supports our language is Google Assistant. iPhones had always been in Poland and more and more people use them but Apple is annoyingly reluctant and doesn't support our language. Regarding the codec. Be aware that all Android phones resample audio on playback to 48khz to there's no point for downloading higher sample rate for them. I'm not sure about bit rate though.
@@bombapiotrdefinitely wrong on that part about resampling. Some Android phones definitely don't have to. LG notably and if you use third party apps such as Neutron, power amp, USB audio player and maybe tons more, you don't have to worry about it. You kinda have to use third party though because Android doesn't have a dedicated media player anymore just as Apple doesn't have a calculator, lol, this is ridiculous. Both these operating systems don't have such basic features. Also, iOS and iPad still don't multitask. What the heck is that about?
OMGOSH this was the BEST video I have ever seen. I just love how natural you were and honest with the iPhone. I have been trying to break free from the iPhone to android for years, but thanks to you I give up-- the iPhone app optimization is awesome and it's perfect for my life. I love the android as you mentioned-- it's just fun, fun fun fun! You gained a new subs.
The factors you have mentioned regarding iPhone lead only took advantage if you are in the field if content creations but as a causal user those does not worsen the experience of android
Define casual... Since I am using same phone for both works and personal. I am not living in USA (Apple nation), currently full Android (Galaxy A54 and Tab S9), I feel okay with what I have since no one is using iMessage unless they want to flex. And since majority are using Android, Android app is good.... until it is not. I had an iPad 9th a tablet before my Tab S9. Everything just works... especially Printing. How come tablet with half the price has better UX... e-commerce shows delivery status, widget acts immediately. It is something you realized since I thought, I buy more expensive tablet with better hardwares, it should run as good as or even better than my old iPad.
Agreed, affects me way more than most, but won’t get around general app quality. Notion, notion calendar, Tesla app, government apps. All are neglected on Android, these will affect the general users. But you’re right 99% of people watching this aren’t content creators, hence this is titled “why I can’t leave”. Can’t deny the fun and freedom android offers though.
@Juicemanee I don’t think they’re lackluster at all, I have both a Samsung and an iPhone. I do however get reminded how closed the iPhone is. Using non-Apple products is difficult, which I don’t find with my Samsung. My iPhone has to go through Apple’s software to transfer anything from a non-Apple device. I can’t usually get an App to do certain task that an iPhone can’t, I can get that on my Samsung and other Android devices. You really can’t claim it’s lackluster while the iPhones still have key issues for regular users who aren’t spending tons of money for more products to improve their experience.
Nope. Went on a trip the other day my plane ticket went straight to my Apple wallet my wife who used a pixel 6 had to save a pdf and keep it on her phone LOL I had to wait on her at every security gate 😂 There are loads of everyday use cases where Apple just works.
Bro I been watching 2 of ur vids now and they both are so high quality, i expected to see a million subs but was surprised seeing under 100k, keep it up you'll get there with consistency
I never owned any apple products. Until i got ipad for studying purposes, now i really understand whats software and sturdy hardware is worth the money.
Same. Can you believe that just a normal iPad brought me to the Apple ecosystem ? I has never used an Apple device for my whole life until 2018 when i first got their student iPad deal for taking notes. Earlier this year, i started to buy a Macbook as I need something to last me a whole day while still being powerful. And it just works flawlessly with the iPad for my works as a university teaching staff now. Then i started to realize how crazy the Apple ecosystem can get and now the only thing that I have not owned from Apple is an iPhone and I do plan to buy the iPhone 16 later this year. I also have a gaming laptop that I;ve used uptill i got the Macbook but now I barely touch it and would just opt for a PS5 or nintendo Switch instead for gaming.
I was the same my first Apple product was the 7th gen iPad and I was so blown away by the performace, build quality and reliability that I never looked back
@@tanbui7569 you had to buy two devices? You could have just bought a Surface. Lighter load on your back. It's the only computer I needed in College. It lasted me 9 years before I repurposed it.
I just sold my iPad 9th gen to Google and got a Pixel tablet. The iPad just didn't work for me at all. It was good for streaming with Hulu, Disney+ and Prime but that was it. I knew it was limited and browsing would suck so I only used it for streaming. It doesn't block pop-ups well enough for serious browsing even with goodish extensions from the app store of course but it can't compete with a full fledged Chromium browser like kiwi on Android or even Firefox on Android (the real Firefox not the joke you guys have). Go to love a real file system as well. I can do rar and 7zip stuff as well. I can torrent as well and I can just put the file on an external drive with no fuss. Not sure how document editing would go on an iPad but I think it should be good. I just never tried it because of the poor file system thing and the lightning port on that particular iPad. Also, it works well as an assistant thanks to Gemini. Siri was too dumb.
i am a hard core Android user and your video is even convincing me that iPhone has better app qualities. damn the efforts you put in to make videos, hats off. ❤
@sagars861 it's not a trap. Iam an s23 ultra user but let's be honest apple ecosystem is so addictive. And it's very useful in the day today life's work. But it ain't for all people. It's really good for people who can afford that
As an app developer, I can confirm that's how it actually happens in the office lol. What I hate about the iPhone is the camera always have that yellow tint slapped on your face. It's not great for taking pictures of people.
@@sunspam3463 Apple policies is more restricted than Google. Because of that devs have to put more effort to get their app to be available on the Appstore
@@sunspam3463 Actually if I code an app for android, it'll run on different devices with different companies, screens, processors, memory and the list goes on while Apple has limited no. of devices to work on for instance Iphone 7-15 if you add pro models it'll be 16-17 iphones in total.
I actually genuinely switched last year. I used the pixel 7 pro for a couple months then paid extra to switch to the galaxy s23 ultra since the pixel battery life became abysmal for some reason. I ended up switching back to iPhone and got the 15 pro max around Christmas time so I was on android for about 10 months. Using the phone itself was as you said fun. Being able to customize your phone themes and Home Screen, having a variety of apps for different uses to choose from. Feeling like my phone was more of a multitool type of device at times, its was pretty neat. Then what happened was I got a MacBook after not having one for several years. The difference in fluidity and ease of using apps and services on Macos compared to android made the "fun" part of using the android phone go away. After a while when the novelty of the customization options and extra features wained, then I really started to notice how much the apps stuttered, or how they were missing some standard features like dark mode. I noticed how video quality wasn't as good. Then my sister had my niece and trying to coordinate the family group chat and share photos and videos even got worse. On top of all of that the great battery life the S23 Ultra had for some reason diminished and I noticed it would start to hang and overheat while I was using it the same way as before. Android phones were my first smartphones and I had one up until the iPhone X came out. I think though now with my current job and lifestyle, I feel old savying this, but it's more important that my phone be consistently good than sometimes amazing. I'm okay not having a stylus or a 100x zoom , or a bigger screen either if it means my phone will take consistently good photos and videos and apps will do what they're supposed to every time.
honestly exactly what ive been thinking, ive been on ios since 2015 or so and switched to an s24 ultra as i was a bit bored but after spending a good few months on the device, the wow factor and extra features and customisation wears off and you start to miss something that simply just works well nearly all the time, like samsung pay has problems with the nfc on the card reader and i have to put it in weird positions let alone the fact that half my cards arent supported on samsung pay and i dont want to be using google pay. having a fully functional clipboard on ios as well as split screen and many of the other little android features would make ios perfection.
Meanwhile me as an iPhone guy I am getting fed up by how apple only wants us to download apps only from the App Store and not from any 3rd party like apks. It’s soo frustrating tbh and I really want an s24 honestly
I’ve tried changing to Samsung for the last 3 years. S22, S23 and S24. ALL THREE PHONES OF EACH LINEUP. I love the hardware more than the iPhones. But I’m sorry. There’s just too many little things I’m used to and expect from my phone that iPhones just make it easier for me to use.
@@walterdbrown iPhones are generally social media machines so yeah I get where ur coming from, but I on the other hand don’t even use Instagram and use my phone for office work and the lack of call recording in iPhone is a big turnoff for me
As an android + windows user I can confirm that the apple eco system is crazy well connected, but the thing is that most of the things you mentioned are also in the android and windows ecosystem. Universal copy-paste, shortcuts, etc... are all available on my phone and pc. My phone (a budget samsung), and my desktop windows are seamlessly connected, but the iPad that I own is the the only device that is disconnected from the rest. The android equivalent to what makes the apple ecosystem so good are just quite unknown. And yes, I totally agree with you; developers really like iPhone, and anything android gets forgotten, which is a shame
I just found your channel, I love the honesty and the vibe, plus the real word uses, thank you! Personally I am heavily considering a shift to android. 1. I am not in the apple ecosystem, like I don't like or use apple watch, my computer is needed to be a windows one, so I am free from this part 2. I tried a Samsung s24 Ultra for literally less than 30 minutes and had to force back myself to get used to the iPhone's slowness :DD 3. I require multitasking features, like split screen, pausing a video, number row on keyboard (I don't like external iPhone keyboard replacement apps)
Your video was great-thank you! Also, congratulations on your full transition to RUclips video creation! - Samsung has a dedicated automation app similar to iPhone's, and it performs well. - For other phones, several apps have been providing automation tasks since Android's inception-Apple actually borrowed this feature from Android. - Samsung laptops offer the same synchronization features. If you're using other phones with Windows, the synchronization is still quite good. - Challenges arise when using a mix of devices like a MacBook, iPad, AirPods, Android phone, and Android watch. It's a bit painful but still manageable through Google sync and file transfers via the ARC app (speaking from experience as a user). - With the new Windows on ARM featuring built-in ChatGPT, it's possible that Apple could lose its dominance. I hope Apple will introduce AI features at the upcoming WWDC.
I liked this comment for it’s first sentence, basically saying that this RUclipsr and this YT channel is very good, very funny, very creative, etc. Samuel, thank you for all your videos so far!
The problem with Android is that , the Name Android user system contains thousands of devices with different optimisations , specs , some are flip phones and some are not , some have different types screen ratios etc..... but for Apple there are few devices with similar specs and similar optimisations and may be it is easy for apps to optimise for iphones and iPads
The reason behind this more emotional than logical. I love Ipads and Macbooks but hate Iphones. BTW you could shoot same quality behind the scenes with any Android flagship :)
Cannot aggree more with you. I love Macs an ipads, but my phone got to be android for all the nonsense and experiments I do there. Apple is selective and is very good for tasks related to content capturing/ automation. That being said Windows is just a must have too . (IT Specialist here)
I guess it's what you are used to, i personally use an android for work and i tried an iphone once i just couldn't get through a week with it. So i switched back to Android till this day on I've never wanted an iphone. But i see some iphone users struggling with an android and I've seen android user's struggles with with an iphone. Then i realise it's what you've got used to in the past years when you get a new os it's like first grade to adapt it while now you've got work to do that becomes hard work, time consuming trying new apps while if it was your os you already know what apps work best, so i think just stick to what works for you the most.
That is the thing... Most RUclipsrs use Iphone for Media production and works awesome. That is where the youtube praise chorus came to apple devices... Just look at Macbook / iPad / iPhones reviews: In the "Real World Tasks" the list Video encoding /editing, color correction, 3d render and so on. Thngs i NEVER used nor plan to use as a senior developer, or as Home user. Things for me there? like window placement, multi screen, etc... NOT A SINGLE ONE. And people looking reviews online to buy (basically taking other's opinion without actually investigating) just go with the youtubers hype.
I’m slowly getting sucked back into apple’s ecosystem again too. I have a pixel 7 pro rn and an iPhone XR running dopamine jailbreak. And an m2 iPad with serotonin jailbreak, with some beats earbuds and beats headphones mostly. Android is good by itself always has been. Apple is crazy tho, it’s actually insane how all their form factors and how influential and stuff they are in the market. I feel like apple releases stuff at the right time for apple users, but with android you can just buy whatever anytime for a similar experience. But anyways I think jailbreak and jailbreak tweaks and TrollStore and ipas and stuff, is debatably better and higher quality than android customization, tweaks, custom roms, root. I wouldn’t say I’m biased at all cause androids also been good since the start too. I guess people just are unlucky with bad experiences with apple devices at the wrong time lol. When an apple device does basically the same thing as android but better looking, more minimal, more familiarity. And also with the current thinness of the M4 iPad. It’s gonna make all the thicker androids less relevant physical design wise once they release an iPhone with the thinness of m4 iPad, to where android just gonna copy that next. People say apple doesn’t change anything every year. But I disagree. The modern-cy is nice. And also if they put like a brushed aluminum/titanium finish out that can hide minor blemishes and stuff and make self repair feasible that’d be nice. Also going back to why apple is insane, I like how solid iPhones/iPads are getting nowadays. Contrary what others might say. Take the iPad Pro specifically with the keyboard case, the iPad with the keyboard case doesn’t need an actual case to rely on 24/7 . It seems like apples getting really confident with their construction quality that it makes me feel more comfortable to use my devices without a case most of the time. I also don’t like the fact they pushed Google Pixel 7 Pro out of the market so quick for $800 brand new, android 15 supposed to be last major android update for it, which is highly disappointing. If you want 6+ years of major software updates on an android it requires buying a 2024 android pretty much lol. And also ios feels like an actual “software” . Android feels like everything runs through a web browser which I don’t really like. Also when companies started going towards the “flat design “. That’s when android lost most of its personality, apple still does the flat design better than android does lol even without “skuemorphism” something like android 5 lollipop was actual unique UI-wise. Googles find my sucks compared to apples. Beats studio buds are nice tho cause they’re made with both apple and android in mind so it’s equally compatible, but ever since apple added the quick pairing and stuff that’s one feature I don’t want to give that up. I like iTunes too, compared to something like adb for android that’s more command line based. To me android is just a generic underlaying version of iOS, cause iOS can technically emulate things like “root (rootful/rootless) & superuser permissions" similar to android through jailbreak. Androids good on its own. But apples always had more of a natural less artificial feeling to it to me if that makes sense. Some of it might be bold claims. It’s definitely what I’m leaning to though based off personal preference and experience with both at the current moment, I still think iPhone/apple is better most of the time, I haven’t found anything else that exactly compares to apple to make me ditch them for good , so therefore I think ios is better to me for most part. I’ve had a complete opposite experience compared to stereotypical android user claims. Honestly tho I’m obsessed with both iOS and android still. ill easily use either one of them. Jailbreak definitely helps too. I just seem to definitely prefer apple tho, more solid to me overall
Could you tell more about your experience with jailbreak? Currently using samsung galaxy s23 ultra, but deciding what phone I should get after 2-3 years. I'm constantly leaning towards iPhone, but I keep pushing me back because lack of some small features that are only on android. I've heard a little bit about jailbreak, but could tell me your honest opinion about jailbreak, what you can do with it, what's the benefits, what's about the warranty and software support?
@@sundaranandadas I’ve been having a lot of fun with jailbreaking again recently. I’m mostly more of a standard user, but I like to still have the freedom of changing things on devices I own. I don’t upgrade too frequently, so I kinda like how jailbreak/custom roms for android and stuff can help keep older devices “alive” longer too. I don’t think most users typically have any intentions to root/jailbreak tho. I’ve always been a fan of it though since jailbreaking like iPod touch 4th gen and rooting Google Nexus 5 and stuff back in the day. Some people say root/jailbreak doesn’t offer any significant value nowadays, I’m still appealed to it though. To me, it seems like apple just doesn’t want people to really jailbreak on whatever their current version is at the time. Jailbreaks typically a year or so behind. While you still have the option to root/customize an android pretty much any time reliably. Usually for me , I just watch like RUclips, or browse social media, or listen to music most of the time on my phone so android and iPhone work fairly equally to me for most part. I have like a RUclips Music jailbreak tweak I use and RUclips Music Revanced for android. I’d say the jailbreak tweak for ios is a little bit better compared to Revanced, cause it natively integrates into the RUclips music app directly , where once you have the jailbreak applied, it just seems to work everytime for me. Revanced for android, sometimes that gets a little bit bugged out due to possibly Google Service integrity or maybe microg acting up sometimes, very rarely tho. It’s hard to rely on apple for a jailbreak tho, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over Android if you like the guarantee of more freedom on Android. And even with jailbreak it doesn’t seem like there’s any compatible tweaks nowadays that can let you simply just move icons anywhere , so that’s another point I’ll give to Android. iOS icons seem to be more stuck in a grid where there’s an Atria jailbreak tweak that just lets you resize the columns and rows pretty much. Outside of that though, there’s customization tweaks for Lock Screen, music player, status bar, notifications, control center, or where you can get simple things like a “kill all” apps button for the app switcher, or there’s tweaks that kind of go along with the overall color theme of the UI and stuff. Might sound a bit silly, but I also have like an “always on” display tweak for my old jailbroken XR, it works fairly okay even tho it’s an IPS panel and stuff. But I also have like a jailbreak tweak that changes like the background of my phone with whatever music is playing so that kinda gets bugged out sometimes with the “always on” display tweak. I started to become obsessed with apple again when dopamine jailbreak came out for iOS 15/16 cause my iPhone XR was on 15.2 to be able to jailbreak it. It’s basically just registering TrollStore to like “tips” app with persistence helper, to be able to sideload the ipa for dopamine jailbreak. There’s also something for jailbreak that helps keep the side loaded apps from expiring, so I don’t really have to refresh the sideloaded apps every 7 days, not too sure on this off the top of my head tho. Then there’s like terminal jailbreak tweak for command entry, filza to be able to browse system files, where you can transfer stuff between like filza and the regular files app, or modify system files, etc. i try not to try to change too much outside of the base software tho on any device . Android has like Magisk, custom roms, colorblndr, and stuff like that which is all pretty good. I think jailbreak tweaks are a little bit more satisfying for me tho. If you find an Android with a good skin and stuff though, then you might not need to feel the need to change it. Samsungs pretty appealing still, I wouldn’t give that up , unless you just want to find a jailbreakable apple device for similar functionality. If you’re quite happy and content with your Samsung then I wouldn’t say anything else is necessarily better then that. But if you are interested in jailbreaking right now, I’d maybe look at ios.cfw.guide website/Google, or possibly jailbreak subreddit on Reddit. The 13/14 is dopamine jailbreakable on iOS 16.5 or less . While the 12,11 support 16.5.1 or less. 8/X is permanently exposed to checkra1n/palera1n jailbreak for 16.7.8, but palera1n disables faceid/touch id & Apple Pay on the 8/X. But there’s also like the A10(X) Ex. iPad 6th gen , that’s also exposed to checkra1n that can be palera1n jailbroken on latest iOS 17.5.1 rn. Serotonin jailbreak for 16.6.1 or less is like dopamine jailbreak, just few extra steps/not as stable. If you want the latest version and a constant up to date phone and stuff and guarantee of reliable customization, etc. I’d still choose Android as a better deal still. That’s not saying jailbreak is bad tho. Just a lot harder to get for apple devices. You might be able to find one in a decent condition on a low enough version off eBay possibly. The 6s, and 7, and SE 1st gen also support dopamine jailbreak on 15.8.2 rn, tho those are getting severely outdated nowadays. Other than that ios 17 isn’t fully reliable for jailbreak right now at least. While they’re about to release 18. I will say tho. iOS 15 is slowly starting to become less reliable , just cause apps like ChatGPT is made for iOS 16 or newer cause it’s built off different apis or something, with everything heading towards ai direction more nowadays, so even if you can “install” it, it’s just gonna crash still. Cause iOS 15 framework doesn’t support the same framework that iOS 16 has. There’s a jailbreak tweak called SiriGPT though, it directly connects Siri to ChatGPT apis. Though it may not be as perfect as actual Gemini/Google Assistant or the actual app for ChatGPT , haven’t used it yet though so I’m not entirely sure. I haven’t really dived much into virtual AI/automation yet. The downside with a lot of jailbreak tweaks is their paid. You might be able to find like cracked repos and stuff, but some tweaks are linked up through like activation keys and stuff so some them are hard to pirate . Legacy jailbreak with older apple devices just as relevant still, tho the actual app support and website support and stuff is not actually there, older apple devices are better for offline use mostly. Back then it used to be tethered vs untethered, where you have to reapply the jailbreak each time you reboot with tethered. Untethered cool, but I don’t mind tethered nowadays cause there’s still preventative measures and like a safe mode and stuff if a tweak were to potentially act up, if you restore through iTunes to a newer version and lose jailbreak, that’s kind of like a last resort type of thing. Back then SHSH blobs used to be relevant where you can trick apples update servers into thinking you’re restoring to a “signed” version to be able to keep jailbreak still if you do have to restore, not sure how relevant shsh blobs are nowadays, might be a complete miss, I saved a couple tho just in case, that way I could maybe potentially upgrade to a newer version to keep jailbreak still once a jailbreak comes out for that version, but like I said those might be completely useless nowadays, so I’m not trying to rely on them. I’d say there’s a good amount of potential with jailbreak and a decent amount of potential work around a and stuff for certain things or where it can maybe introduce like “newer features” onto older phones , it’s just frustrating apple doesn’t naturally allow it like Android does. I still like the versatility/uniqueness of Android though, doesn’t hurt to have a different phone every now and then that’s not an apple device. There’s some aspects to Android I like, and then some other things on apple that I prefer. And then I was gonna say the iPad has better specs than iPhone rn. They make a UTM Virtual Machine app, where you can emulate windows/linux/Android possibly directly on an iOS device, but it’s a virtual machine so it’s definitely not going to run the best/not a lot of spare hardware allocation for something like that quite yet, and then TrollStore/altstore let’s you sideload like older game emulators and stuff to be able to run them with JIT for better compatibility. And then you still got apps like retroarch or delta on App Store. Some people say they run into issues with apps detecting jailbreak access. Haven’t really had any issues with that personally, except for maybe something like ChatGPT app, for the apps I use on a day to day basis at least. I like to think the base software/apps are secure enough, so I don’t think jailbreak/root necessarily corrupts all your device privacy/security . As far as warranty with jailbreak. It could avoid the warranty possibly, but if you were to say take into an Apple Store to get a repair, then you can probably tell them not to update your phone or anything like that if you wanted to keep jailbreak still. I like how semi tethered jailbreaks nowadays has jailbroken state and like where you can easily revert back to stock ios if you really wanted to. I will say tho “iPadOS” was a little disappointing at first. But since mine was compatible with serotonin jailbreak that made it a little more fun again to actually use. But the keyboard for it kinda annoys me. Cause a lot of mobile based games still don’t support the keyboard or anything, and there doesn’t seem to be any jailbreak tweaks that let you reprogram the keys or anything with the apps, since app developers aren’t including support for it. Sorry that I made these comments so long, just wanted to provide a quick little summary
Finally someone gets it! I've always felt that a jailbroken iPhone/iPad gives a much better hardware AND software experience than their android counterpart. I still use a jailbroken iPad mini from 2012 for school. That's a 12 year old device on its original battery! I have a bunch of android devices(Android TV, galaxy tab) but they are primarily entertainment machines and nothing else. Dex is okay for productivity but nothing groundbreaking since it literally feels like ChromeOS. File management is really the only thing I find better to me on android. Even customization with apps like Widgy are narrowing the gap between iOS and android customization. I'm currently on the 15 pro(unjailbroken) and have unlimited sideloading(revoked certificates) for apps like uYouEnhanced, Spotilife, YTMusicUltimate which I find more stable than android apps like revanced, Xmanager etc. I honestly prefer going through hoops to get sideloading as that means only those who know what they're doing will be rewarded. Yes, there are still permissions which Apple still prevent you from using such as JIT for emulation but it is a work in progress. As Apple provides more features that android have natively(whether copying android or jailbreak tweaks), the better it will be. Apple makes great products with some hefty restrictions but once you find a hole in their wall(aka jailbreak or abusing certificates with DNS servers) it becomes a much better experience.
I use both as well. I’ve been using iPhone since 2016 and I have always had a Samsung in my other pocket . I only use the iPhone for family but I’m so much more into Android.
Maaan, when you say this is the last Apple vs Android ecosystems video you are 100% lying... you are a tech nerd like all of us and when the new Pixel going live you will buy it and you will try to use it for all of your tasks (it will fail eventually, but you will still gonna try it!)
It's the last. I will try million other android phones over my RUclips career, but me experimenting which OS is better is over. It's settled. iOS for work, android for everything else.
I'm an Android fan ever since. Features are amazing and flexibility. But sadly, I can't deny the app support and ecosystem Apple products have. Just had an iPhone 15 pro Max and I'm at the crossroads of really jumping to the Apple Ecosystem. Great video man. I love it
On samsung you can seamlessly use windows, a tablet, and a phone with the same mouse, same spen. You can drag and drop files, universal copy paste like you said
@@OGTennyson Tbf, most companies have fairly well-fleshed-out ecosystems at this point, people are just less likely to fully commit to them in the same manner as Apple. The problem is people often compare 3-4 Apple products to say 3-4 products all from different companies (for example, Pixel Phone, Galaxy Tablet, HP laptop and Sony earbuds) and then complain it doesn't offer as a seamless experience as Apple's. If you go all Samsung or all Google, as examples, you will indeed have very similar, seamless experiences, it's not inherently unique to Apple by any means.
I’ve been an android user for 13 years and yesterday I just got my first iPhone 12 and I love it, and I agree with you when you say app developers treat android like shit, apps are poorly made. With iOS too much care it’s taken into consideration, the details in the UX it’s out of this world.
I think this demonstrates very well how important it is to know which ecosystem works best with your line of work. As a musician, it's undeniable how much more fun it is to use Apple products. My architect friends all use Windows because of their AutoCAD programs. As much as I think Apple is a completely unethical company that keeps making my stuff break after 6 years so I have to buy new stuff, so are the other companies, and I'd much rather suffer with the Apple products than the Windows/Android products. Also, Apple's products generally have a nicer build quality/feel, despite being behind on some features.
9:44 I think Samsung also has this if you own a Galaxy Book and tablet. The feature is called Samsung multi control. Other RUclipsrs also have found ways to use it on different Windows devices.
First honest reviewer I saw, no "Oooh look at the rapid benchmark, better!!1!" instead of real-life use or long benchmark to show throttling. I use iPhone too just because of the security, video and simplicity, can't imagine troubleshooting my phone.. But I main Windows and Linux, because phone is prebuilt and many expect prebuilt to work flawlessly, like TV's, but android... It's like Linux, constant troubleshooting, installed an app, doesn't work, why? No answer unlike in Linux, either way rebuild the app if there's the source or you don't have a choice but to wait.
I love running and I am trying to compete in a state level course. I love garmin watches as they are extremely accurate and professional atheletes use them. they are expensive but i own two garmin watches for my track running. But when i bought I phone last year it did not allow me to sync my data with the phone properly and I hated apple for that. I tried my sister's apple watch and it worked amazingly. But the watch itself was not that rugged or premium like garmin. Apple is intentionally making other superior devices not work just to promote their own products. The consumers should have the freedom to choose. But knowing that made me believe that I would rather choose freedom over submission to a multi billion dollar company who is so cheap in their consumer ethics.
@@IlBiggo Garmin has an app for IOS. Garmin connect. But I phone restricts a lot of the data that is transferred between my app and watch. In fact Apple is facing a lawsuit for intentionally stopping certain features from 3rd party apps and gears. The same app works like a charm on my pixel phone. Apple only wants their products to connect seamlessly. But, Apple Watch ultra does not fulfill my needs as an athlete. I have a Garmin HRM pro. It's a professional grade pedometer for triathletes which connects with my Garmin watch and then my phone app. And sad to say i can't use it with my iPhone. But only Android. So my point was I cannot use I phone with my professional gear. Apple forces my decision. And I don't like to be forced or manipulated.
@@IlBiggo G*rmin has an app for iOS. It's called G*rmin connect. But a*ple has stripped down certain features. That app works perfectly fine on my pix*l 8. A*ple does this intentionally. In fact there's a lawsuit against ap*le for restricting 3rd party apps from even basic features. A*ple only wants their customers to buy their products. Even if you find a superior product outside you're stuck with a*ple. Consumers should be free to choose what they want to buy according to their needs. I guess you replied without researching. I have a G*rmin HRM tri. It's a professional pedometer specially designed to work with the G*rmin watch and app. Professional Olympic runners and triathletes use it for accurate measuring. Sadly it does not work with I ph*ne properly. Please read about the latest lawsuits against a*ple.
The main reason i love this channel so much is because its more practical in daily life experience compare to the other youtubers which feels more like a pitch than a review. This feels like it talks the more important human aspects of usability and ignoring all the fluff that other youtubers talk.
I think when a company/corporation get involved in app development they prioritise creating it for ios over android and i think they don't even test it on Android before publishing it to the playstore. Apple having large userbase and limited number of phones makes it easier to optimise the app while 1000s of android phone just keep coming every year with such variety that makes you through the optimisation in garbage bin. Its really sad.
I have my app on both stores and I can’t comprehend how anyone sees it that way. It’s literally not that difficult to make a damn app that operates and is optimized for both platforms.
@@CCherriosful It's because you are a solo developer. Solo devs tend to pay more attention to their app. There is a lot of bureaucracy in large companies, nobody cares anymore. You probably know what I mean. I'm a corporate dev. You just just work what you get paid for. And most companies don't want to spend time on Android.
I love how like at least half of the reasons iPhone fans give for why iPhones are better are based on factors outside the experience itself like "developers love iOS" and "everybody else in my friend group uses an iPhone so it would be easier"
Actually, all of the ecosystem plus automation stuff are available on samsung devices , there is even more features than that , you can do an endless amount of automation things with bixby routines (litteraly every thing can be automated )
No open butthole button means you can't do more (for me). Siri shortcuts can do everything the Samsung automation app can do plus "open butthole button" not androids problem, more like app dev but that's the point.
Tasker can do more than shortcuts but bixby can't do more than ios automation and shortcuts. The app developers in ios leave the API open for ios shortcuts open to create custom automations which is not possible on bixby routines. iOS shortcuts and automations are next level as apple makes it easier for developers to integrate the app at operating system level. Bixby routines can't send a message on WhatsApp in the background with the screen off ios shortcuts can.
@@topsurgeon does it work like how it works on iphone? i mean like that screen off shortcut thingy , apple is rediculously expensive but i also think android edges out
Damn dude, that's an awesome video! Really showed me a lot. Now, in my daily life, being from India, I have sort of an opposite situation. Apps which are global, like Instagram, they are really well optimised even for my iPhone SE 2, although thoroughly annoyed they don't have an ipad app for it, but not my point. On my realme 6, it used to not be as fast, and that's that. Even banking apps open faster, don't have as many bugs, etc. But what is interesting is that a lot of government apps do not even have an app store app, and since sideloading is not possible, it is completely impossible to get them. There are no Teslas here, so most of the automation things do not bother me, but what sorta bothers me is the fact that wifi and bluetooth do not turn off, so I set two shortcuts to do them. But for android, I am impressed. First off, realme 6 was also launched in the same year as the SE, which is 2020, and at launch it was about a third of the cost of the SE [15000 INR vs 45000 INR], and I have installed custom ROMs (thoroughly voiding warranty, but idc coz its too old to have one), but what I get is still a fast and snappy phone with granular controls, unlimited google photos storage, a pixel camera port (known as a gcam mod apk, clicks stellar pictures compared to the stock app), and still a phone to use for Train location tracking, train ticket booking, metro card recharge, all things not available on the iphone. I am completely aware of the fact that I do not have the highest end of stuff, but I am quite partial to the android experience, especially the fact that I do not have to come across any single ad during use. I use a mod that doesn't even show ads on instagram, and little things like these make the tradeoff of not that optimised software fine by me. Just giving an account of my experience, YMMV, but I can totally see how that walled garden is an issue. Using an iPhone (my main) and iPad, studies flow like crazy, but for fun times, the android has me covered (: On a side note, I think a mentality aspect is also crucial here. I am a student who still has the curiosity to be granular about things, as in I prefer my stuff to be separated rather than locked in together, but as a father of two, I can completely see how you would value convenience and peace of mind over a hassle to solve some problem with your phone, or laptop, stuff like that.
Biggest concern is when there is a hardware issue, you pay a hefty price to repair it. So I don’t see any reason to buy apple products unless you are a professional and earns enough to justify that cost as well.
@@babor_ also true. Official apple repair for a phone that has the internals almost 6 years old, battery replacement officially costs 6800 INR, whereas official cost for battery repair for realme is 1200 INR, and most androids don't cross the 2000 INR barrier, whereas even the 14 battery replacement costs almost 9000 INR. I'm not even going into back glass and screen repair, which is a whole other level
I use a galaxy book everyday and samsung has universal copy paste, second screen for windows, and multi control lets you use your mouse and keyboard seamlessly from windows to android. Even locating my galaxy buds, watch or tags, and dragging and dropping files works between platforms.
Everything can work as smooth as "apple". Just know apple copies ALL ITS features androids already had, slap a fancy name like "airdrop" and everyone eats it up like they innovated it... File sharing through wifi is the most basic function ever. Yet iPhone users think only they have it.
I love Sam and been using it for 7 years... I'm considering switching to 15promax now, yet I'm too afraid I'll lose the beauty of oneui and it's customization.. I always split screen. Using clipboard... Shoot videos... Read pdfs What do you think?
Apple just works. I was an engineer in the golden days, and I know the difference between working on your tools and working with your tools. My apple devices work for me - seamlessly. The few months I worked with Android - I spent half my life making it work. It was a nightmare that I will never suffer again. But each to their own. Some people love customising their cars with bells and whistles - for me its a tool to get me from point A to point B.
I think that Apple users are lock into the Apple ecosystem and when (if) they switch to android they have a hard time learning to use the new system and letting go of the Apple restrictions that probably won't work so well on Android. The oposite would be true also, but Android users rarely switch to Apple. ^^
@@ddritterI was an iPhone user over ten years ago. I switched to Samsung easily as I didn't really use any of Apple's other devices. In fact, I found it jarring how I could easily transfer my files to my PSP from my PC, but with my iPhone, I needed to run it via iTunes and ONLY through MY PC. It's like the guy said. If you're an A to B person, apple. But at the cost of being locked into their ecosystem. But I won't lie, I appreciate Apple not being overcrowded with devices, making it easier for devs to implement programs on.
@@daraghmacgabhann1005 It happens more often than you think lol Half my friends are SW engineers and many of them switched from Android to Apple. Some even switched from Windows to MacO, because 'it just works' and at least some of them develop Android Apps for a living.
This is easily the best demonstration as to why i will be going team apple for the first time next year. I have been team android forever and it was a good run so far but now i am older, don't have time and don't even want to fiddle with crap. I use my phone as a tool, not as an entertainment device (though at times it fills that role too). If i didn't have access to an iphone 13 for the past couple of years now and i only remained with my android devices (S23U current) i too would have thought that nothing is wrong except some inconveniences here and there. The more i used the iphone the more annoyed i got with my android. Direct comparisons, especially for basic stuff, is just no contest in favour of the iphone. Now, after this long and with the iphones on team type-C i have decided to bite the bullet and get myself my very own iphone (next phone contract) but keep the S23U for general stuff but not as my main device. An experience that started very annoyingly inconvenient for me turned out to actually result in my decision to jump ship. You really can't explain it to somebody who is not involved and uses their device as a toy.
Why should we complain about using Apple products? We’re gonna have to use somebody’s product, should I use android products and say the same things about android? I switched from using android (and windows) products for years to using iOS (iPhone) and MacOS. I’ve also added a couple of iPads as well. Should I feel guilty or bad? I don’t get it, Apple products are more streamlined and straight to the point in my opinion. Apple products just proved to be a better, more easier way to operate to me.
on android, try turning off battery optimizations for the app that is malfunctioning. Android puts aapps to sleep when you don't open them for a while, and this sucks because some apps need to run in the background to work properly. Try turning this off and see it the issue stops
your videos are just so good!! you manage to make any video interesting and engaging and your humour is a big bonus. thank you so much for sharing your content with the world!
I must say one thing, though many may not agree. To me it feels like a game of preference and how used to is one to either one of the two. Like you said that there are those few things that you are too used to finding in iOS, similarly a person who uses Android in and out will find few things that are missing on iOS and that will be a dealbreaker as well. At the end of the day its mostly about preference and brand loyalty. Btw very nice presentation, and ofc your aesthetic setup is on point.
@@phunk8607Actually it is, it’s faster than the M3 and Qualcomm has far more experience in the telecommunications space than Apple. In fact Apple utilizes and make deals with them to be able to use their technology.
Just have to wait and see, at the moment, qc compare their chips with the m2 and apple just released the m4:v The thing is android brands do not have the control that apple has so that would be really hard to make them as seamless as aplle
got my Iphone 15 stolen, and I decided to switch to the S23 Ultra, while this phone looks gorgeous and fun, tons of features, but app stability isn't as reliable as Apple's. if you want a phone that just work, with no hassle, just go with an Iphone.
@mindlessftw hey dumb dumb, I've been an android user before I switched to ios. I've done all the customization android egg-heads like you boast about. I only got the note due to its s-pen features. Android is great for what it is, but it doesn't compare to Apple's app optimization.
that's also the reason I won't switch. I love the folding phone. I honestly do. I came from those times but the iOS and the ecosystem and the fact how smooth everything works is just...as a content creator mental stabilization.
I remember wanting to combine PalmPilots and my flip phone and then the iPhone was a dream come true. But as a programmer, I craved customization and jailbroke my iPhone. Tried Android early on - laughed at the 3 button layout (pinch-to-zoom ftw on Apple). I became an Apple fan for a while, but switched to Android when it offered more capable refinements and freedom. Now, I value open ecosystems for the amount of things I can do and see Apple just copying even if it is a sometimes more polished. I find a wider world of possibilities with tools outside Apple, but the choice depends on your community and need. For example I was scripting to automate tasks previously on expensive Macs even for video workflows and XServes. I wouldn't completely switch back now that I have so much power in designing what I want a system to do for me. The only temptation being that I loved my old Final Cut Pro life and work.
Apple has over 125 million active iPhone users in the USA so you can't blame the app developers for prioritizing the iPhone compared to 25 million Samsung users. And btw smartphones are just tools to get stuff done, so if the the iPhone works for you then go for it!
While Apple does have a strong domination in the US, do keep in mind that Android is not exclusively Samsung. Depending where you source the information from, 39-45% of smartphones in the US run Android, so the figure isn't 5-to-1 as you implied, but a much closer 3-to-2. P.S. I'm not sure where you got 25 million Samsung users from but most reports put Samsung at 24% of the US mobile phone market, which would be closer to 65-70 million.
Literally every iPhone my family and I have owned (iPhone 5 SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 13 Pro), has developed some speaker issues after like 12 to 18 months. The earpiece almost becomes inaudible and the bottom firing speaker becomes distorted and lacks that loudness. I'm just curious, does it happen with you people as well? Possible cause and solution(s)?
First of all very good videos! I have just started watching you! Second, a bit of context for me: I am 37 old, I work in software development and I had a PC since I was 8. I always used Windows, Linux and Android. I respect Apple products for their quality and performance, last year I bought SH a 2015 retina Mac and I love it. But the rest of the devices are Windows(DELL), Linux(DELL) and Android (Samsung S21FE). But I must ask... why is this copy-paste stuff such a deal-braker? How many times to you need to copy from iPhone to Mac or Tablet so fast? You either work on the computer or on a mobile device. And if you really need this stuff.. there are notes in the cloud that sync almost instantaneous. Keep notes for example. Yes is not that fast, but it takes a couple of seconds. Then there is the copy-paste text from the image, I can do this on my Samsung with no problems. Regarding the developer support, in your case it makes sense, I can not argue, but I tried 2 years ago an iPhone 12 and I gave it back after 1 month because of this. I used a finance app that did not have the features that there were on Android. Also I missed the clever routines from Samsung. Apple automation/focus is crap. The files app on Samsung is so good, I can connect to any kind of server remotely, comparing to IOS that lacks support. But.. if someone needs the best video camera , the iPhone has the best, no doubt. If you need custom apps that don't work on Android, sure, get the iPhone. If you want the most fluid experience in UI, I think iPhone is the best here, but not sure any more... Samsung S models are very close. SO I still feel that for the price you pay, you get more phone from a Samsung. My most concern is about Apple philosophy. They charge a LOT of money for the devices and accessories, they give you less freedom (security as an argument) and they know what is better for you. And they make a big deal out of small stuff on their launch events. Oh and their crazy expensive watches look like child watches... I can not switch from my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic..
Samsung pay is honestly the dealbreaker for me, it’s the only one of the 3 big pay apps that still doesn’t accept my credit union, also the fact that it’s basically bloatware on every device that is extremely difficult to remove by design is incredibly obnoxious. As it stands I still prefer my Apple Watch SE to the galaxy watches because double press to open wallet works, with a Samsung gear It requires setting up Google pay and then navigating to it to pay which is much more of a pain. Throw in the random nonsensical crashes you experience in Android vs the stability you get with Apple and it becomes very difficult to justify switching back. Not for nothing but Samsung/Android have their own issues they need to get sorted. Also the flip 6 left a bad taste in my mouth with its wack aspect ratio, as someone who uses my phone for gaming and media consumption having the main game I play on my phone be locked into portrait mode only because Samsung couldn’t be bothered to make the flip wide enough to support traditional aspect ratios was a dealbreaker, a more narrow portrait mode with no landscape makes for some really shit gaming

As a lawyer, I just can't use an iPhone. Okay, I get it, it's better in several ways, makes some tasks a lot easier, and within the Apple ecosystem, it feels magical. But for my routine and line of work, it just doesn't work.
I'm using a Fold 4 for about a year and a half. The first feature that alone made me a Samsung convert is the automatic call recorder. Having recordings of everything said on a call is a lifesaver in my legal practice.
Using two apps at the same time is amazing, and I simply can't go back to a single-app view.
At the end of the day, it's the same old story: there's no single best device. There's the one that fits our needs better.
For me, at least for now, it will have to be a Samsung flagship.
And I have to say, I've become addicted to your content! Please, continue this amazing work!
You must live outside the US. In the US call recording is not supported by any phone manufacturer due to the individual state laws on the practice. Some its ok, some its not.

Bro I tried man. I really did.
I am a Microsoft developer, and I don't use a windows laptop 🤫
I remember someone saying that they used to work with top execs from Google and they all had iPhones. I think you’re all good, guys 😅
im a macos app dev but I use windows at home lol.
I have a friend that works at Google and she does have an IPhone.
I use both Apple products and Samsung/google products. Personally I never experienced any issues with app availability on Android other than some Apple specific apps. But I am no filmmaker or photographer. I think apps have improved drastically on Android during the last few years compared to how it used to be. And if you are into open source apps there is a huge library there as well which you will never be able to get on iOS. In terms of bad apps, I have seen a lot of pretty horrible apps, but that goes for both iOS and Android.
Agreed, I can't think of a single app on my iPhone that I use regularly that I can't get on my Pixel. At the same time, as someone who has a homelab who hosts a lot of their own services, there are A LOT of open-source apps only available for Android. So for me it's actually the reverse situation lol
A few weeks I bought my first Android in 7 years. It was still clumsy in important ways, such as filling in passwords. I gave it away after a week.
@@nicmart Interesting, would you mind elaborating how it was clumsy? But the password thing, how is it any different compared to IOS? There are many options for auto saving accounts and passwords, so you don't have to type them in everytime. And if you don't use that, you just write the password like normally right?
@@amirtorhan2762
The password fill option was simply unavailable for some apps. I tried both Samsung and Google fill.
@@nicmartwhat?
Man, your kids are just too cute! Melts my heart everytime! Oh and great video!
LOVE THE HONESTY AND BEING OPEN ON THIS TOPIC WHERE SO MANY YT’s lie. Thanks G
Android version coded out of their butts part made me LOL so hard.
sadly kinda accurate too lmao
Android ecosystem having so much fragmentation just pisses the devs off. For iPhone, create this and boom! For android, oh there are dozens of chipset, screensize, skins and shitload so devs can't help even if they try to.
Cycloon de z
@@forhadrhdevs can automated this process. Not a big deal.
I am an Android developer i try to put as much effort into Android as in ios.
And i use windows
And android.
I use Apple for work (Company issued phone) and Android for personal.
The restrictions on Apple is the most frustrating part of using iPhone.
iPhone doesn't have DEX or an easy accessible file system.
iPhone and its accessories are expensive while my Samsung Galaxy S23FE does everything and more than the iPhone.
I cant side load apps on my iPhone while I can on my Samsung.
My Samsung allows for customizable icon packs along with different launchers.
With the last update, Android offers live translation during phone calls.
In absolute fairness you can sideload apps onto an iPhone, it's just a pain in the arse to actually do. You need a free Apple Developer account and an app on your computer like Sideloadly. You can then sideload .ipa files but only three at a time and you need to refresh them every seven days.
@@voteDC I would probably get through the pain of doing that If I had an iPhone, but that's complete bullshit. You shouldn't need to leave the phone to install an app
If I'm using my PC to install stuff on my phone, it's probably that I'm installing fucking windows 11 for arm on a Poco X3 Pro or reinstalling my whole operating system
Also the generally more powerful iPhones don't even have any good emulators so that power is just sort of wasted
@@Jbrimbelibap I have an old iPhone SE (2016) that I messed around with sideloading on and it really wasn't worth the effort. Now that Apple are allowing emulators onto the App Store I'd actually consider an iPhone for my next device.
I have a Poco X3 Pro and I've been looking into Project Renegade. It's a lot more daunting than sideloading a .ipa onto an iPhone.
exactly. all it takes for all the points he is trying to make is an update, but you can never change apple walled garden and huge tax.
@@voteDCyeah, I looked at that. It is super expensive. Yeah, Apple can keep that.
Thanks!
His videos are honest and wholesome
@@Luke-lilyme too
That is why i always use both ios and android. Like some days i want all the tweaking and changing, but the other day all i want is a phone that just works. Even now iam not selling my iphone x, as it still take a lot of great pictures (not an overprocessing like the newer gen) while daily driving my galaxy
Your Android phone doesn't just work? Mine does. What kind of busted Android phone are you using that doesn't just work?
@@orangeyellow-me1pzseriously I just don't understand what does they mean by just works lol
@@ranju2873 yep, it just fought me every day
@@orangeyellow-me1pzas an android user since the start of smartphone era. Ever heard how long android phones fixes their bugs? That doesnt happen to Iphone. My note 10 plus had this bug where I cant update apps, spen not working properly, connectivity issues especially with data. I know you dont know yet what "it just works" means but it's true. Just switched to Iphone when the iphone 13 pro max launched. Reason why? My wife and I bought new phone in 2019z she is still using her iphone 11 pro max, on the latest IOS version still fluid and usable. While I only used my note 10 plus for more or less 2 years. So you might also say Iphone just works longer than androids.
@@ranju2873lol. Think of this. Note 10 plus and Iphone 11 pro max both released 2019. Which phone do you think is on its latest OS version? Then which phone do you think is compatible with newer app version? That's the reason why it just works. Android phones almost always not on its latest OS version. Even if Samsung promise 4 years support you can never expect it to get update on time. It's only good for the first year of its release then will become outdated in just a year unless the new OS version is out. The problem is the older the android the longer the wait time.
First video I have watched of you. Very interesting and real. I was shocked that you are not a 1+ million RUclips channel. I am glad RUclips decided to show you to me.
Checkout his video about the xreal glasses videos. It was hilarious yet informative.
The thumbnail and start of the video reminded me of one of iOS’ biggest flaws. You can only copy one thing to a clipboard you can’t manage, and it self deletes after an hour. I’d give up copy paste between devices in favor of having a clipboard with memory that I can manage and copy multiple bits of information to.
I’ve also found lots of the apps I use for work are drastically unoptimized on iOS as opposed to their Android version.
Living without clipboard is just way too difficult now especially after using it hundreds of times everyday on windows. Not having clipboard is still somewhat okayish on iPhone but it must be there on mac. I don't know how can people even live without that
@@abhishekkr4004on mac, as for almost any problem you have with it, there are free apps for it, and paid ones with better experience, but for this one i’ve found raycast to be the best, it’s a spotlight substitution that can do a WHOLE lot more than spotlight, and has a built in clipboard, also it has an extension store with thousands of free extensions
I find that other keyboards are shite unoptimized on apple
Apple made it harder for developers to offer same service both on Android and iOS. iOS limits those app so that you will be forced to use apps that are specifically made for iOS . That’s what I learned after switching from Android to IOS .
@@babor_I'd like if Android start to do the same thing, like that no more lazy développers. And they don't want to lose 3/4 of their users who use android phones...
Finally someone who loves the clipboard as much as I do!
You are blessed to have such a wonderful family and friends! The group selfie at 6:09 was priceless. Best wishes to you all.
So, a long time ago I was an iPod Touch user and generally I was very happy about the device. After that for 10 years I used the best Android phones available including HTC M8, Samung S7, Note 8, then Fold 3 and now... I'm writing this comment from iPhone 12 mini. Literally everything works better on iPhone. Starting from phone calls, which open immediately, Teams doesn't have bug which disables your speaker for other apps, Outlook which should be an Android optimised app is million times faster. If you click on notification from the lock screen apps open immediately compared to what I saw in my fold3. I miss the big foldable screen and specially the S-Pen in the Note8, but the reliability is so much better!
I feel the same way. But I have a regular iPhone 15 in jet black 😊
I remember trying an iPhone 7 and 13 mini. Holy hell, those phones were atrocious for my usage. There were so many things I couldn't do. I couldn't block ads in RUclips anymore, unless I started paying for it, I couldn't block ads and pop ups efficiently because the browsers are all just mobile safari and it is useless (the extensions on chrome and Firefox are just better), I couldn't run emulators which finally became a thing the other day for iPhones (let's see how long that lasts), I couldn't download apps that Apple doesn't approve of, no torrents, if I torrents an OS how do I get the file? If I downloaded an album in 24 bit I couldn't just listen to it immediately (maybe there was a way but I could not figure it out), no 24 bit flac support, Bluetooth sounded worse because no AptX HD, no LDAC either, storage was a huge problem because file management was worse because of how half butt Apple's implementation is, keyboards sucked and Apple would turn them off in certain instances, face ID during COVID 🤣🤦🏿♂️, Apple Maps was the bane of my existence. It also liked being default for many things though it sucked. SIRI IS DUMB. Her stupidity annoyed the hell out of me. That's why he kept talking about automation. Normally I'd just ask Google Assistant to take care of it and we've seen enough comparisons over the years to know that Siri is dumb. Now there's Gemini and Siri is even further behind. The problems this RUclipsr went over are definitely real and opened my eyes to how poorly supported Android is on cinematography/videography or whatever but I don't work with this stuff and neither does most people. His parking App needs to be addressed by whatever government officials they have. In South Florida we have maybe 3 and all work wonderfully on all my Android phones and if there is a problem you can use the browser (I had to do this once a couple years ago).
@@orangeyellow-me1pz Yeah. That depends on usage, iPhones were always targeted into creativity market like movie makeing.
I personally don't use assistants. In Poland the only one that supports our language is Google Assistant. iPhones had always been in Poland and more and more people use them but Apple is annoyingly reluctant and doesn't support our language.
Regarding the codec. Be aware that all Android phones resample audio on playback to 48khz to there's no point for downloading higher sample rate for them. I'm not sure about bit rate though.
@@bombapiotrdefinitely wrong on that part about resampling. Some Android phones definitely don't have to. LG notably and if you use third party apps such as Neutron, power amp, USB audio player and maybe tons more, you don't have to worry about it. You kinda have to use third party though because Android doesn't have a dedicated media player anymore just as Apple doesn't have a calculator, lol, this is ridiculous. Both these operating systems don't have such basic features. Also, iOS and iPad still don't multitask. What the heck is that about?
I'm sure that beautiful keyboard on iOS works better lmfao
That smells like a proper cow 😂😂
I laughed so hard on this one
How wouldn’t this apply to any other brand
@@vincentopperman1420 it was sponsored by that brand, but it would apply to any quality leather
OMGOSH this was the BEST video I have ever seen. I just love how natural you were and honest with the iPhone. I have been trying to break free from the iPhone to android for years, but thanks to you I give up-- the iPhone app optimization is awesome and it's perfect for my life. I love the android as you mentioned-- it's just fun, fun fun fun! You gained a new subs.
The factors you have mentioned regarding iPhone lead only took advantage if you are in the field if content creations but as a causal user those does not worsen the experience of android
Define casual...
Since I am using same phone for both works and personal.
I am not living in USA (Apple nation), currently full Android (Galaxy A54 and Tab S9), I feel okay with what I have since no one is using iMessage unless they want to flex.
And since majority are using Android, Android app is good.... until it is not.
I had an iPad 9th a tablet before my Tab S9. Everything just works... especially Printing.
How come tablet with half the price has better UX...
e-commerce shows delivery status, widget acts immediately.
It is something you realized since I thought, I buy more expensive tablet with better hardwares, it should run as good as or even better than my old iPad.
Agreed, affects me way more than most, but won’t get around general app quality. Notion, notion calendar, Tesla app, government apps. All are neglected on Android, these will affect the general users. But you’re right 99% of people watching this aren’t content creators, hence this is titled “why I can’t leave”.
Can’t deny the fun and freedom android offers though.
@Juicemanee I don’t think they’re lackluster at all, I have both a Samsung and an iPhone. I do however get reminded how closed the iPhone is.
Using non-Apple products is difficult, which I don’t find with my Samsung. My iPhone has to go through Apple’s software to transfer anything from a non-Apple device. I can’t usually get an App to do certain task that an iPhone can’t, I can get that on my Samsung and other Android devices.
You really can’t claim it’s lackluster while the iPhones still have key issues for regular users who aren’t spending tons of money for more products to improve their experience.
Nope. Went on a trip the other day my plane ticket went straight to my Apple wallet my wife who used a pixel 6 had to save a pdf and keep it on her phone LOL I had to wait on her at every security gate 😂 There are loads of everyday use cases where Apple just works.
Also features of my my galaxy watch (ecg and BP) won’t work with any other android phone let alone an iPhone so who has the real walled garden?
Bro I been watching 2 of ur vids now and they both are so high quality, i expected to see a million subs but was surprised seeing under 100k, keep it up you'll get there with consistency
I never owned any apple products. Until i got ipad for studying purposes, now i really understand whats software and sturdy hardware is worth the money.
Same. Can you believe that just a normal iPad brought me to the Apple ecosystem ? I has never used an Apple device for my whole life until 2018 when i first got their student iPad deal for taking notes. Earlier this year, i started to buy a Macbook as I need something to last me a whole day while still being powerful. And it just works flawlessly with the iPad for my works as a university teaching staff now. Then i started to realize how crazy the Apple ecosystem can get and now the only thing that I have not owned from Apple is an iPhone and I do plan to buy the iPhone 16 later this year. I also have a gaming laptop that I;ve used uptill i got the Macbook but now I barely touch it and would just opt for a PS5 or nintendo Switch instead for gaming.
I was the same my first Apple product was the 7th gen iPad and I was so blown away by the performace, build quality and reliability that I never looked back
@@tanbui7569 you had to buy two devices? You could have just bought a Surface. Lighter load on your back. It's the only computer I needed in College. It lasted me 9 years before I repurposed it.
I just sold my iPad 9th gen to Google and got a Pixel tablet. The iPad just didn't work for me at all. It was good for streaming with Hulu, Disney+ and Prime but that was it. I knew it was limited and browsing would suck so I only used it for streaming. It doesn't block pop-ups well enough for serious browsing even with goodish extensions from the app store of course but it can't compete with a full fledged Chromium browser like kiwi on Android or even Firefox on Android (the real Firefox not the joke you guys have). Go to love a real file system as well. I can do rar and 7zip stuff as well. I can torrent as well and I can just put the file on an external drive with no fuss. Not sure how document editing would go on an iPad but I think it should be good. I just never tried it because of the poor file system thing and the lightning port on that particular iPad. Also, it works well as an assistant thanks to Gemini. Siri was too dumb.
Explain how an iPad would be better than a s9 ultra for studying
i am a hard core Android user and your video is even convincing me that iPhone has better app qualities. damn the efforts you put in to make videos, hats off. ❤
its trap android any day better
@sagars861 it's not a trap. Iam an s23 ultra user but let's be honest apple ecosystem is so addictive. And it's very useful in the day today life's work. But it ain't for all people. It's really good for people who can afford that
As an app developer, I can confirm that's how it actually happens in the office lol.
What I hate about the iPhone is the camera always have that yellow tint slapped on your face. It's not great for taking pictures of people.
Yellow tint? Nah mate that’s just Asian face
Which iPhone do you use? I feel like after 14 taking pictures for ppl is worsened darker image and processing not reflecting the reality
But why? what is the developers do not take android app coding seriously?
@@sunspam3463 Apple policies is more restricted than Google. Because of that devs have to put more effort to get their app to be available on the Appstore
@@sunspam3463 Actually if I code an app for android, it'll run on different devices with different companies, screens, processors, memory and the list goes on while Apple has limited no. of devices to work on for instance Iphone 7-15 if you add pro models it'll be 16-17 iphones in total.
I actually genuinely switched last year. I used the pixel 7 pro for a couple months then paid extra to switch to the galaxy s23 ultra since the pixel battery life became abysmal for some reason. I ended up switching back to iPhone and got the 15 pro max around Christmas time so I was on android for about 10 months. Using the phone itself was as you said fun. Being able to customize your phone themes and Home Screen, having a variety of apps for different uses to choose from. Feeling like my phone was more of a multitool type of device at times, its was pretty neat. Then what happened was I got a MacBook after not having one for several years. The difference in fluidity and ease of using apps and services on Macos compared to android made the "fun" part of using the android phone go away. After a while when the novelty of the customization options and extra features wained, then I really started to notice how much the apps stuttered, or how they were missing some standard features like dark mode. I noticed how video quality wasn't as good. Then my sister had my niece and trying to coordinate the family group chat and share photos and videos even got worse. On top of all of that the great battery life the S23 Ultra had for some reason diminished and I noticed it would start to hang and overheat while I was using it the same way as before. Android phones were my first smartphones and I had one up until the iPhone X came out. I think though now with my current job and lifestyle, I feel old savying this, but it's more important that my phone be consistently good than sometimes amazing. I'm okay not having a stylus or a 100x zoom , or a bigger screen either if it means my phone will take consistently good photos and videos and apps will do what they're supposed to every time.
Lol dark mode is NOT MISSING ON S23 ULTRA lol that's straight up false.
I got the S23+ and it's on.
I think u just didn't know how to use your phone
@@cyberlexl3136true (suffering with iPhone 14 shifted from Samsung S20FE)
I like how these comments just completely overlooked everything else you said.
@@cyberlexl3136 android just sucks lmao
honestly exactly what ive been thinking, ive been on ios since 2015 or so and switched to an s24 ultra as i was a bit bored but after spending a good few months on the device, the wow factor and extra features and customisation wears off and you start to miss something that simply just works well nearly all the time, like samsung pay has problems with the nfc on the card reader and i have to put it in weird positions let alone the fact that half my cards arent supported on samsung pay and i dont want to be using google pay. having a fully functional clipboard on ios as well as split screen and many of the other little android features would make ios perfection.
Meanwhile me as an iPhone guy I am getting fed up by how apple only wants us to download apps only from the App Store and not from any 3rd party like apks. It’s soo frustrating tbh and I really want an s24 honestly
You can do it on iOS 18 but android still better
I’ve tried changing to Samsung for the last 3 years. S22, S23 and S24. ALL THREE PHONES OF EACH LINEUP.
I love the hardware more than the iPhones. But I’m sorry. There’s just too many little things I’m used to and expect from my phone that iPhones just make it easier for me to use.
@@walterdbrown iPhones are generally social media machines so yeah I get where ur coming from, but I on the other hand don’t even use Instagram and use my phone for office work and the lack of call recording in iPhone is a big turnoff for me
I switched from iPhone a few years ago and it's the best decision I've made
That's for security. Side loaded apps might come with spyware to steal your cc info. You never know.
As an android + windows user I can confirm that the apple eco system is crazy well connected, but the thing is that most of the things you mentioned are also in the android and windows ecosystem.
Universal copy-paste, shortcuts, etc... are all available on my phone and pc. My phone (a budget samsung), and my desktop windows are seamlessly connected, but the iPad that I own is the the only device that is disconnected from the rest. The android equivalent to what makes the apple ecosystem so good are just quite unknown. And yes, I totally agree with you; developers really like iPhone, and anything android gets forgotten, which is a shame

can you tell us the apps you use for your work/shootings on the iphone? i'm interested to know more
I just found your channel, I love the honesty and the vibe, plus the real word uses, thank you!
Personally I am heavily considering a shift to android.
1. I am not in the apple ecosystem, like I don't like or use apple watch, my computer is needed to be a windows one, so I am free from this part
2. I tried a Samsung s24 Ultra for literally less than 30 minutes and had to force back myself to get used to the iPhone's slowness :DD
3. I require multitasking features, like split screen, pausing a video, number row on keyboard (I don't like external iPhone keyboard replacement apps)
Your video was great-thank you! Also, congratulations on your full transition to RUclips video creation!
- Samsung has a dedicated automation app similar to iPhone's, and it performs well.
- For other phones, several apps have been providing automation tasks since Android's inception-Apple actually borrowed this feature from Android.
- Samsung laptops offer the same synchronization features. If you're using other phones with Windows, the synchronization is still quite good.
- Challenges arise when using a mix of devices like a MacBook, iPad, AirPods, Android phone, and Android watch. It's a bit painful but still manageable through Google sync and file transfers via the ARC app (speaking from experience as a user).
- With the new Windows on ARM featuring built-in ChatGPT, it's possible that Apple could lose its dominance. I hope Apple will introduce AI features at the upcoming WWDC.
always feel android is much better than iphone any time
I liked this comment for it’s first sentence, basically saying that this RUclipsr and this YT channel is very good, very funny, very creative, etc.
Samuel, thank you for all your videos so far!
I don't normally comment on tech videos I watch. But, this one right here. This got me smiling broadly.
That spinning thing is called a Lazy Susan.
Poor Susan…
The problem with Android is that , the Name Android user system contains thousands of devices with different optimisations , specs , some are flip phones and some are not , some have different types screen ratios etc..... but for Apple there are few devices with similar specs and similar optimisations and may be it is easy for apps to optimise for iphones and iPads
No, it’s lack of effort.
@@Hornet135 I can also add greed
@@Hornet135android takes more effort and is viewed as less profitable, which is the actual issue, no point in putting in effort
The reason behind this more emotional than logical. I love Ipads and Macbooks but hate Iphones.
BTW you could shoot same quality behind the scenes with any Android flagship :)
Cannot aggree more with you. I love Macs an ipads, but my phone got to be android for all the nonsense and experiments I do there. Apple is selective and is very good for tasks related to content capturing/ automation. That being said Windows is just a must have too . (IT Specialist here)
I'm exactly in the same boat as you. No probs with Macs or iPad, but iPhones drive me nuts!

Thank you for being one of the few RUclipsrs who are actually honest about this. Subscribed.
im using a note 9 widget for my tesla, official app, buttons work fine. not sure what's wrong with yours
I guess it's what you are used to, i personally use an android for work and i tried an iphone once i just couldn't get through a week with it. So i switched back to Android till this day on I've never wanted an iphone. But i see some iphone users struggling with an android and I've seen android user's struggles with with an iphone. Then i realise it's what you've got used to in the past years when you get a new os it's like first grade to adapt it while now you've got work to do that becomes hard work, time consuming trying new apps while if it was your os you already know what apps work best, so i think just stick to what works for you the most.
Bruh I don't struggle with Android 😆 my screentime on Android is like 2x my iPhone. iPhone comes out during work.
That is the thing... Most RUclipsrs use Iphone for Media production and works awesome. That is where the youtube praise chorus came to apple devices... Just look at Macbook / iPad / iPhones reviews: In the "Real World Tasks" the list Video encoding /editing, color correction, 3d render and so on. Thngs i NEVER used nor plan to use as a senior developer, or as Home user. Things for me there? like window placement, multi screen, etc... NOT A SINGLE ONE. And people looking reviews online to buy (basically taking other's opinion without actually investigating) just go with the youtubers hype.
Right? It's literally the exact opposite for me. As in: whenever I try iOS I am back to Android in no time.
This is so true. I use the clipboard in my android to copy multiple things and iOS doesn't even have it.
This is one of the most fun channels. So refreshing!
Dude your videos are so good. Even better that you’re based in AU. Keep it up
The video to laptop screen to zooming out onto yourself transition was sick!!!!
I’m slowly getting sucked back into apple’s ecosystem again too. I have a pixel 7 pro rn and an iPhone XR running dopamine jailbreak. And an m2 iPad with serotonin jailbreak, with some beats earbuds and beats headphones mostly. Android is good by itself always has been. Apple is crazy tho, it’s actually insane how all their form factors and how influential and stuff they are in the market. I feel like apple releases stuff at the right time for apple users, but with android you can just buy whatever anytime for a similar experience. But anyways I think jailbreak and jailbreak tweaks and TrollStore and ipas and stuff, is debatably better and higher quality than android customization, tweaks, custom roms, root. I wouldn’t say I’m biased at all cause androids also been good since the start too. I guess people just are unlucky with bad experiences with apple devices at the wrong time lol. When an apple device does basically the same thing as android but better looking, more minimal, more familiarity. And also with the current thinness of the M4 iPad. It’s gonna make all the thicker androids less relevant physical design wise once they release an iPhone with the thinness of m4 iPad, to where android just gonna copy that next. People say apple doesn’t change anything every year. But I disagree. The modern-cy is nice. And also if they put like a brushed aluminum/titanium finish out that can hide minor blemishes and stuff and make self repair feasible that’d be nice. Also going back to why apple is insane, I like how solid iPhones/iPads are getting nowadays. Contrary what others might say. Take the iPad Pro specifically with the keyboard case, the iPad with the keyboard case doesn’t need an actual case to rely on 24/7 . It seems like apples getting really confident with their construction quality that it makes me feel more comfortable to use my devices without a case most of the time. I also don’t like the fact they pushed Google Pixel 7 Pro out of the market so quick for $800 brand new, android 15 supposed to be last major android update for it, which is highly disappointing. If you want 6+ years of major software updates on an android it requires buying a 2024 android pretty much lol. And also ios feels like an actual “software” . Android feels like everything runs through a web browser which I don’t really like. Also when companies started going towards the “flat design “. That’s when android lost most of its personality, apple still does the flat design better than android does lol even without “skuemorphism” something like android 5 lollipop was actual unique UI-wise. Googles find my sucks compared to apples. Beats studio buds are nice tho cause they’re made with both apple and android in mind so it’s equally compatible, but ever since apple added the quick pairing and stuff that’s one feature I don’t want to give that up. I like iTunes too, compared to something like adb for android that’s more command line based. To me android is just a generic underlaying version of iOS, cause iOS can technically emulate things like “root (rootful/rootless) & superuser permissions" similar to android through jailbreak. Androids good on its own. But apples always had more of a natural less artificial feeling to it to me if that makes sense. Some of it might be bold claims. It’s definitely what I’m leaning to though based off personal preference and experience with both at the current moment, I still think iPhone/apple is better most of the time, I haven’t found anything else that exactly compares to apple to make me ditch them for good , so therefore I think ios is better to me for most part. I’ve had a complete opposite experience compared to stereotypical android user claims. Honestly tho I’m obsessed with both iOS and android still. ill easily use either one of them. Jailbreak definitely helps too. I just seem to definitely prefer apple tho, more solid to me overall
Could you tell more about your experience with jailbreak? Currently using samsung galaxy s23 ultra, but deciding what phone I should get after 2-3 years. I'm constantly leaning towards iPhone, but I keep pushing me back because lack of some small features that are only on android. I've heard a little bit about jailbreak, but could tell me your honest opinion about jailbreak, what you can do with it, what's the benefits, what's about the warranty and software support?
nah the flat design goes to samsung imho.
@@sundaranandadas I’ve been having a lot of fun with jailbreaking again recently. I’m mostly more of a standard user, but I like to still have the freedom of changing things on devices I own. I don’t upgrade too frequently, so I kinda like how jailbreak/custom roms for android and stuff can help keep older devices “alive” longer too. I don’t think most users typically have any intentions to root/jailbreak tho. I’ve always been a fan of it though since jailbreaking like iPod touch 4th gen and rooting Google Nexus 5 and stuff back in the day. Some people say root/jailbreak doesn’t offer any significant value nowadays, I’m still appealed to it though. To me, it seems like apple just doesn’t want people to really jailbreak on whatever their current version is at the time. Jailbreaks typically a year or so behind. While you still have the option to root/customize an android pretty much any time reliably. Usually for me , I just watch like RUclips, or browse social media, or listen to music most of the time on my phone so android and iPhone work fairly equally to me for most part. I have like a RUclips Music jailbreak tweak I use and RUclips Music Revanced for android. I’d say the jailbreak tweak for ios is a little bit better compared to Revanced, cause it natively integrates into the RUclips music app directly , where once you have the jailbreak applied, it just seems to work everytime for me. Revanced for android, sometimes that gets a little bit bugged out due to possibly Google Service integrity or maybe microg acting up sometimes, very rarely tho. It’s hard to rely on apple for a jailbreak tho, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over Android if you like the guarantee of more freedom on Android. And even with jailbreak it doesn’t seem like there’s any compatible tweaks nowadays that can let you simply just move icons anywhere , so that’s another point I’ll give to Android. iOS icons seem to be more stuck in a grid where there’s an Atria jailbreak tweak that just lets you resize the columns and rows pretty much. Outside of that though, there’s customization tweaks for Lock Screen, music player, status bar, notifications, control center, or where you can get simple things like a “kill all” apps button for the app switcher, or there’s tweaks that kind of go along with the overall color theme of the UI and stuff. Might sound a bit silly, but I also have like an “always on” display tweak for my old jailbroken XR, it works fairly okay even tho it’s an IPS panel and stuff. But I also have like a jailbreak tweak that changes like the background of my phone with whatever music is playing so that kinda gets bugged out sometimes with the “always on” display tweak. I started to become obsessed with apple again when dopamine jailbreak came out for iOS 15/16 cause my iPhone XR was on 15.2 to be able to jailbreak it. It’s basically just registering TrollStore to like “tips” app with persistence helper, to be able to sideload the ipa for dopamine jailbreak. There’s also something for jailbreak that helps keep the side loaded apps from expiring, so I don’t really have to refresh the sideloaded apps every 7 days, not too sure on this off the top of my head tho. Then there’s like terminal jailbreak tweak for command entry, filza to be able to browse system files, where you can transfer stuff between like filza and the regular files app, or modify system files, etc. i try not to try to change too much outside of the base software tho on any device . Android has like Magisk, custom roms, colorblndr, and stuff like that which is all pretty good. I think jailbreak tweaks are a little bit more satisfying for me tho. If you find an Android with a good skin and stuff though, then you might not need to feel the need to change it. Samsungs pretty appealing still, I wouldn’t give that up , unless you just want to find a jailbreakable apple device for similar functionality. If you’re quite happy and content with your Samsung then I wouldn’t say anything else is necessarily better then that. But if you are interested in jailbreaking right now, I’d maybe look at ios.cfw.guide website/Google, or possibly jailbreak subreddit on Reddit. The 13/14 is dopamine jailbreakable on iOS 16.5 or less . While the 12,11 support 16.5.1 or less. 8/X is permanently exposed to checkra1n/palera1n jailbreak for 16.7.8, but palera1n disables faceid/touch id & Apple Pay on the 8/X. But there’s also like the A10(X) Ex. iPad 6th gen , that’s also exposed to checkra1n that can be palera1n jailbroken on latest iOS 17.5.1 rn. Serotonin jailbreak for 16.6.1 or less is like dopamine jailbreak, just few extra steps/not as stable. If you want the latest version and a constant up to date phone and stuff and guarantee of reliable customization, etc. I’d still choose Android as a better deal still. That’s not saying jailbreak is bad tho. Just a lot harder to get for apple devices. You might be able to find one in a decent condition on a low enough version off eBay possibly. The 6s, and 7, and SE 1st gen also support dopamine jailbreak on 15.8.2 rn, tho those are getting severely outdated nowadays. Other than that ios 17 isn’t fully reliable for jailbreak right now at least. While they’re about to release 18. I will say tho. iOS 15 is slowly starting to become less reliable , just cause apps like ChatGPT is made for iOS 16 or newer cause it’s built off different apis or something, with everything heading towards ai direction more nowadays, so even if you can “install” it, it’s just gonna crash still. Cause iOS 15 framework doesn’t support the same framework that iOS 16 has. There’s a jailbreak tweak called SiriGPT though, it directly connects Siri to ChatGPT apis. Though it may not be as perfect as actual Gemini/Google Assistant or the actual app for ChatGPT , haven’t used it yet though so I’m not entirely sure. I haven’t really dived much into virtual AI/automation yet. The downside with a lot of jailbreak tweaks is their paid. You might be able to find like cracked repos and stuff, but some tweaks are linked up through like activation keys and stuff so some them are hard to pirate . Legacy jailbreak with older apple devices just as relevant still, tho the actual app support and website support and stuff is not actually there, older apple devices are better for offline use mostly. Back then it used to be tethered vs untethered, where you have to reapply the jailbreak each time you reboot with tethered. Untethered cool, but I don’t mind tethered nowadays cause there’s still preventative measures and like a safe mode and stuff if a tweak were to potentially act up, if you restore through iTunes to a newer version and lose jailbreak, that’s kind of like a last resort type of thing. Back then SHSH blobs used to be relevant where you can trick apples update servers into thinking you’re restoring to a “signed” version to be able to keep jailbreak still if you do have to restore, not sure how relevant shsh blobs are nowadays, might be a complete miss, I saved a couple tho just in case, that way I could maybe potentially upgrade to a newer version to keep jailbreak still once a jailbreak comes out for that version, but like I said those might be completely useless nowadays, so I’m not trying to rely on them. I’d say there’s a good amount of potential with jailbreak and a decent amount of potential work around a and stuff for certain things or where it can maybe introduce like “newer features” onto older phones , it’s just frustrating apple doesn’t naturally allow it like Android does. I still like the versatility/uniqueness of Android though, doesn’t hurt to have a different phone every now and then that’s not an apple device. There’s some aspects to Android I like, and then some other things on apple that I prefer. And then I was gonna say the iPad has better specs than iPhone rn. They make a UTM Virtual Machine app, where you can emulate windows/linux/Android possibly directly on an iOS device, but it’s a virtual machine so it’s definitely not going to run the best/not a lot of spare hardware allocation for something like that quite yet, and then TrollStore/altstore let’s you sideload like older game emulators and stuff to be able to run them with JIT for better compatibility. And then you still got apps like retroarch or delta on App Store. Some people say they run into issues with apps detecting jailbreak access. Haven’t really had any issues with that personally, except for maybe something like ChatGPT app, for the apps I use on a day to day basis at least. I like to think the base software/apps are secure enough, so I don’t think jailbreak/root necessarily corrupts all your device privacy/security . As far as warranty with jailbreak. It could avoid the warranty possibly, but if you were to say take into an Apple Store to get a repair, then you can probably tell them not to update your phone or anything like that if you wanted to keep jailbreak still. I like how semi tethered jailbreaks nowadays has jailbroken state and like where you can easily revert back to stock ios if you really wanted to. I will say tho “iPadOS” was a little disappointing at first. But since mine was compatible with serotonin jailbreak that made it a little more fun again to actually use. But the keyboard for it kinda annoys me. Cause a lot of mobile based games still don’t support the keyboard or anything, and there doesn’t seem to be any jailbreak tweaks that let you reprogram the keys or anything with the apps, since app developers aren’t including support for it. Sorry that I made these comments so long, just wanted to provide a quick little summary
@@TheRareLoot amazing! Thank you for describing every aspect. Now I have much wider knowledge on it. Thanks captain 😄
Finally someone gets it! I've always felt that a jailbroken iPhone/iPad gives a much better hardware AND software experience than their android counterpart. I still use a jailbroken iPad mini from 2012 for school. That's a 12 year old device on its original battery! I have a bunch of android devices(Android TV, galaxy tab) but they are primarily entertainment machines and nothing else. Dex is okay for productivity but nothing groundbreaking since it literally feels like ChromeOS.
File management is really the only thing I find better to me on android. Even customization with apps like Widgy are narrowing the gap between iOS and android customization. I'm currently on the 15 pro(unjailbroken) and have unlimited sideloading(revoked certificates) for apps like uYouEnhanced, Spotilife, YTMusicUltimate which I find more stable than android apps like revanced, Xmanager etc. I honestly prefer going through hoops to get sideloading as that means only those who know what they're doing will be rewarded. Yes, there are still permissions which Apple still prevent you from using such as JIT for emulation but it is a work in progress.
As Apple provides more features that android have natively(whether copying android or jailbreak tweaks), the better it will be. Apple makes great products with some hefty restrictions but once you find a hole in their wall(aka jailbreak or abusing certificates with DNS servers) it becomes a much better experience.
I use both as well. I’ve been using iPhone since 2016 and I have always had a Samsung in my other pocket . I only use the iPhone for family but I’m so much more into Android.
Maaan, when you say this is the last Apple vs Android ecosystems video you are 100% lying... you are a tech nerd like all of us and when the new Pixel going live you will buy it and you will try to use it for all of your tasks (it will fail eventually, but you will still gonna try it!)
It's the last. I will try million other android phones over my RUclips career, but me experimenting which OS is better is over. It's settled. iOS for work, android for everything else.
I'm an Android fan ever since. Features are amazing and flexibility. But sadly, I can't deny the app support and ecosystem Apple products have.
Just had an iPhone 15 pro Max and I'm at the crossroads of really jumping to the Apple Ecosystem.
Great video man. I love it
On samsung you can seamlessly use windows, a tablet, and a phone with the same mouse, same spen. You can drag and drop files, universal copy paste like you said
It doesn't work most of the time bro. I dunno what it is, but apple has figured out this ecosystem thing to the core
@@OGTennyson says who. Mine works Everytime
@@conradbreitfeller3841 well good for you
@@conradbreitfeller3841mine doesn’t all the time
@@OGTennyson Tbf, most companies have fairly well-fleshed-out ecosystems at this point, people are just less likely to fully commit to them in the same manner as Apple. The problem is people often compare 3-4 Apple products to say 3-4 products all from different companies (for example, Pixel Phone, Galaxy Tablet, HP laptop and Sony earbuds) and then complain it doesn't offer as a seamless experience as Apple's. If you go all Samsung or all Google, as examples, you will indeed have very similar, seamless experiences, it's not inherently unique to Apple by any means.
I’ve been an android user for 13 years and yesterday I just got my first iPhone 12 and I love it, and I agree with you when you say app developers treat android like shit, apps are poorly made. With iOS too much care it’s taken into consideration, the details in the UX it’s out of this world.
Yep.. less fun, but it works 😆
Love your channel. Can't help but subscribed. Keep doing these good stuffs.
one of the nicest tech videos i 've watched in months, honestly
Another awesome sketch! Love it :D
I think this demonstrates very well how important it is to know which ecosystem works best with your line of work. As a musician, it's undeniable how much more fun it is to use Apple products. My architect friends all use Windows because of their AutoCAD programs. As much as I think Apple is a completely unethical company that keeps making my stuff break after 6 years so I have to buy new stuff, so are the other companies, and I'd much rather suffer with the Apple products than the Windows/Android products. Also, Apple's products generally have a nicer build quality/feel, despite being behind on some features.
9:44 I think Samsung also has this if you own a Galaxy Book and tablet. The feature is called Samsung multi control. Other RUclipsrs also have found ways to use it on different Windows devices.
First honest reviewer I saw, no "Oooh look at the rapid benchmark, better!!1!" instead of real-life use or long benchmark to show throttling. I use iPhone too just because of the security, video and simplicity, can't imagine troubleshooting my phone.. But I main Windows and Linux, because phone is prebuilt and many expect prebuilt to work flawlessly, like TV's, but android... It's like Linux, constant troubleshooting, installed an app, doesn't work, why? No answer unlike in Linux, either way rebuild the app if there's the source or you don't have a choice but to wait.
I love running and I am trying to compete in a state level course. I love garmin watches as they are extremely accurate and professional atheletes use them. they are expensive but i own two garmin watches for my track running. But when i bought I phone last year it did not allow me to sync my data with the phone properly and I hated apple for that. I tried my sister's apple watch and it worked amazingly. But the watch itself was not that rugged or premium like garmin. Apple is intentionally making other superior devices not work just to promote their own products. The consumers should have the freedom to choose. But knowing that made me believe that I would rather choose freedom over submission to a multi billion dollar company who is so cheap in their consumer ethics.
So it's Apple fault for Garmin not making an app for the iPhone. Classic.
@@IlBiggo Garmin has an app for IOS. Garmin connect. But I phone restricts a lot of the data that is transferred between my app and watch. In fact Apple is facing a lawsuit for intentionally stopping certain features from 3rd party apps and gears. The same app works like a charm on my pixel phone. Apple only wants their products to connect seamlessly. But, Apple Watch ultra does not fulfill my needs as an athlete. I have a Garmin HRM pro. It's a professional grade pedometer for triathletes which connects with my Garmin watch and then my phone app. And sad to say i can't use it with my iPhone. But only Android. So my point was I cannot use I phone with my professional gear. Apple forces my decision. And I don't like to be forced or manipulated.
@@IlBiggo G*rmin has an app for iOS. It's called G*rmin connect. But a*ple has stripped down certain features. That app works perfectly fine on my pix*l 8. A*ple does this intentionally. In fact there's a lawsuit against ap*le for restricting 3rd party apps from even basic features. A*ple only wants their customers to buy their products. Even if you find a superior product outside you're stuck with a*ple. Consumers should be free to choose what they want to buy according to their needs. I guess you replied without researching. I have a G*rmin HRM tri. It's a professional pedometer specially designed to work with the G*rmin watch and app. Professional Olympic runners and triathletes use it for accurate measuring. Sadly it does not work with I ph*ne properly. Please read about the latest lawsuits against a*ple.
@@jagpreetsingh3221 I guess all those other companies out there just want their customers to buy other companies' products :D
@@IlBiggo 🤦🏻 I guess you're a fan boy.
The main reason i love this channel so much is because its more practical in daily life experience compare to the other youtubers which feels more like a pitch than a review. This feels like it talks the more important human aspects of usability and ignoring all the fluff that other youtubers talk.
I think when a company/corporation get involved in app development they prioritise creating it for ios over android and i think they don't even test it on Android before publishing it to the playstore. Apple having large userbase and limited number of phones makes it easier to optimise the app while 1000s of android phone just keep coming every year with such variety that makes you through the optimisation in garbage bin. Its really sad.
I have my app on both stores and I can’t comprehend how anyone sees it that way. It’s literally not that difficult to make a damn app that operates and is optimized for both platforms.
@@CCherriosfulthat’s what users see it ‘cos they are not developers. 😊
@@CCherriosful It's because you are a solo developer. Solo devs tend to pay more attention to their app. There is a lot of bureaucracy in large companies, nobody cares anymore. You probably know what I mean. I'm a corporate dev. You just just work what you get paid for. And most companies don't want to spend time on Android.
Man is blessed and I wish the best for him. Having a beautiful wife with cute kids and doing something that he loves. What else do we need

I love how like at least half of the reasons iPhone fans give for why iPhones are better are based on factors outside the experience itself like "developers love iOS" and "everybody else in my friend group uses an iPhone so it would be easier"
Actually, all of the ecosystem plus automation stuff are available on samsung devices , there is even more features than that , you can do an endless amount of automation things with bixby routines (litteraly every thing can be automated )
No open butthole button means you can't do more (for me). Siri shortcuts can do everything the Samsung automation app can do plus "open butthole button" not androids problem, more like app dev but that's the point.
Tasker can do more than shortcuts but bixby can't do more than ios automation and shortcuts. The app developers in ios leave the API open for ios shortcuts open to create custom automations which is not possible on bixby routines. iOS shortcuts and automations are next level as apple makes it easier for developers to integrate the app at operating system level. Bixby routines can't send a message on WhatsApp in the background with the screen off ios shortcuts can.
@@singhrajul tasker is also on android
@@topsurgeon does it work like how it works on iphone? i mean like that screen off shortcut thingy , apple is rediculously expensive but i also think android edges out
one of the most genuine youtubers left. much love brother, fell in love at first sight
Damn dude, that's an awesome video! Really showed me a lot. Now, in my daily life, being from India, I have sort of an opposite situation.
Apps which are global, like Instagram, they are really well optimised even for my iPhone SE 2, although thoroughly annoyed they don't have an ipad app for it, but not my point. On my realme 6, it used to not be as fast, and that's that. Even banking apps open faster, don't have as many bugs, etc. But what is interesting is that a lot of government apps do not even have an app store app, and since sideloading is not possible, it is completely impossible to get them. There are no Teslas here, so most of the automation things do not bother me, but what sorta bothers me is the fact that wifi and bluetooth do not turn off, so I set two shortcuts to do them.
But for android, I am impressed. First off, realme 6 was also launched in the same year as the SE, which is 2020, and at launch it was about a third of the cost of the SE [15000 INR vs 45000 INR], and I have installed custom ROMs (thoroughly voiding warranty, but idc coz its too old to have one), but what I get is still a fast and snappy phone with granular controls, unlimited google photos storage, a pixel camera port (known as a gcam mod apk, clicks stellar pictures compared to the stock app), and still a phone to use for Train location tracking, train ticket booking, metro card recharge, all things not available on the iphone.
I am completely aware of the fact that I do not have the highest end of stuff, but I am quite partial to the android experience, especially the fact that I do not have to come across any single ad during use. I use a mod that doesn't even show ads on instagram, and little things like these make the tradeoff of not that optimised software fine by me. Just giving an account of my experience, YMMV, but I can totally see how that walled garden is an issue. Using an iPhone (my main) and iPad, studies flow like crazy, but for fun times, the android has me covered (:
On a side note, I think a mentality aspect is also crucial here. I am a student who still has the curiosity to be granular about things, as in I prefer my stuff to be separated rather than locked in together, but as a father of two, I can completely see how you would value convenience and peace of mind over a hassle to solve some problem with your phone, or laptop, stuff like that.
Biggest concern is when there is a hardware issue, you pay a hefty price to repair it. So I don’t see any reason to buy apple products unless you are a professional and earns enough to justify that cost as well.
@@babor_ also true. Official apple repair for a phone that has the internals almost 6 years old, battery replacement officially costs 6800 INR, whereas official cost for battery repair for realme is 1200 INR, and most androids don't cross the 2000 INR barrier, whereas even the 14 battery replacement costs almost 9000 INR. I'm not even going into back glass and screen repair, which is a whole other level
7:12 That edit was so clean!
I use a galaxy book everyday and samsung has universal copy paste, second screen for windows, and multi control lets you use your mouse and keyboard seamlessly from windows to android. Even locating my galaxy buds, watch or tags, and dragging and dropping files works between platforms.
do they work? as in work smoth without lag and stuff like on apple
Everything can work as smooth as "apple". Just know apple copies ALL ITS features androids already had, slap a fancy name like "airdrop" and everyone eats it up like they innovated it... File sharing through wifi is the most basic function ever. Yet iPhone users think only they have it.
Loving your videos, very entertaining and informative at the same time.

Most of the things he mentions can be done on Android. That light thing for instance, I just tell Alexa to turn it off or on at specific times.

What do you think?
Apple just works. I was an engineer in the golden days, and I know the difference between working on your tools and working with your tools. My apple devices work for me - seamlessly. The few months I worked with Android - I spent half my life making it work. It was a nightmare that I will never suffer again. But each to their own. Some people love customising their cars with bells and whistles - for me its a tool to get me from point A to point B.
I think that Apple users are lock into the Apple ecosystem and when (if) they switch to android they have a hard time learning to use the new system and letting go of the Apple restrictions that probably won't work so well on Android. The oposite would be true also, but Android users rarely switch to Apple. ^^
@@ddritterI was an iPhone user over ten years ago. I switched to Samsung easily as I didn't really use any of Apple's other devices. In fact, I found it jarring how I could easily transfer my files to my PSP from my PC, but with my iPhone, I needed to run it via iTunes and ONLY through MY PC. It's like the guy said. If you're an A to B person, apple. But at the cost of being locked into their ecosystem.
But I won't lie, I appreciate Apple not being overcrowded with devices, making it easier for devs to implement programs on.
Not buying you were an Engineer!

Your videos are sooo entertaining, super happy it showed up in my RUclips feed!
3:31 "that smells like a proper cow" is wildd 😭
This is easily the best demonstration as to why i will be going team apple for the first time next year. I have been team android forever and it was a good run so far but now i am older, don't have time and don't even want to fiddle with crap. I use my phone as a tool, not as an entertainment device (though at times it fills that role too).
If i didn't have access to an iphone 13 for the past couple of years now and i only remained with my android devices (S23U current) i too would have thought that nothing is wrong except some inconveniences here and there. The more i used the iphone the more annoyed i got with my android. Direct comparisons, especially for basic stuff, is just no contest in favour of the iphone.
Now, after this long and with the iphones on team type-C i have decided to bite the bullet and get myself my very own iphone (next phone contract) but keep the S23U for general stuff but not as my main device. An experience that started very annoyingly inconvenient for me turned out to actually result in my decision to jump ship. You really can't explain it to somebody who is not involved and uses their device as a toy.

Yeah they work sometimes, glitchy and all…

Why should we complain about using Apple products? We’re gonna have to use somebody’s product, should I use android products and say the same things about android? I switched from using android (and windows) products for years to using iOS (iPhone) and MacOS. I’ve also added a couple of iPads as well. Should I feel guilty or bad? I don’t get it, Apple products are more streamlined and straight to the point in my opinion. Apple products just proved to be a better, more easier way to operate to me.
Daddy, why are you always working?
It could be worse girlie, your dad could be in a soulless cubicle away from home.
on android, try turning off battery optimizations for the app that is malfunctioning. Android puts aapps to sleep when you don't open them for a while, and this sucks because some apps need to run in the background to work properly. Try turning this off and see it the issue stops
your videos are just so good!! you manage to make any video interesting and engaging and your humour is a big bonus. thank you so much for sharing your content with the world!
Honestly saying, this video doesn’t look like it’s coming from 71k sub channel. It feels like 7m sub channel. Amazing editing 😮😮
Tldw you cant leave because everyone, including american app devs, use iPhones aswell.
I must say one thing, though many may not agree. To me it feels like a game of preference and how used to is one to either one of the two. Like you said that there are those few things that you are too used to finding in iOS, similarly a person who uses Android in and out will find few things that are missing on iOS and that will be a dealbreaker as well. At the end of the day its mostly about preference and brand loyalty.
Btw very nice presentation, and ofc your aesthetic setup is on point.

"that smells like a proper cow" LMAO
I truly didn’t expect to enjoy watching this video as much as I did, so subbed.
got my Iphone 15 stolen, and I decided to switch to the S23 Ultra, while this phone looks gorgeous and fun, tons of features, but app stability isn't as reliable as Apple's. if you want a phone that just work, with no hassle, just go with an Iphone.
Okay Grandpa. Can't learn new tech so you trash it? Yeah. iPhone was ment for you.
@mindlessftw hey dumb dumb, I've been an android user before I switched to ios. I've done all the customization android egg-heads like you boast about. I only got the note due to its s-pen features. Android is great for what it is, but it doesn't compare to Apple's app optimization.
apple apple apple apple! Hahahahahaahahahahahah😂
that's also the reason I won't switch. I love the folding phone. I honestly do. I came from those times but the iOS and the ecosystem and the fact how smooth everything works is just...as a content creator mental stabilization.
So the issue is, how one uses his or her phone.
I remember wanting to combine PalmPilots and my flip phone and then the iPhone was a dream come true. But as a programmer, I craved customization and jailbroke my iPhone. Tried Android early on - laughed at the 3 button layout (pinch-to-zoom ftw on Apple).
I became an Apple fan for a while, but switched to Android when it offered more capable refinements and freedom. Now, I value open ecosystems for the amount of things I can do and see Apple just copying even if it is a sometimes more polished.
I find a wider world of possibilities with tools outside Apple, but the choice depends on your community and need. For example I was scripting to automate tasks previously on expensive Macs even for video workflows and XServes. I wouldn't completely switch back now that I have so much power in designing what I want a system to do for me. The only temptation being that I loved my old Final Cut Pro life and work.
Apple has over 125 million active iPhone users in the USA so you can't blame the app developers for prioritizing the iPhone compared to 25 million Samsung users.
And btw smartphones are just tools to get stuff done, so if the the iPhone works for you then go for it!
While Apple does have a strong domination in the US, do keep in mind that Android is not exclusively Samsung. Depending where you source the information from, 39-45% of smartphones in the US run Android, so the figure isn't 5-to-1 as you implied, but a much closer 3-to-2.
P.S. I'm not sure where you got 25 million Samsung users from but most reports put Samsung at 24% of the US mobile phone market, which would be closer to 65-70 million.
Literally every iPhone my family and I have owned (iPhone 5 SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 13 Pro), has developed some speaker issues after like 12 to 18 months. The earpiece almost becomes inaudible and the bottom firing speaker becomes distorted and lacks that loudness. I'm just curious, does it happen with you people as well? Possible cause and solution(s)?
Not the first i’ve heard of such issue. But the first of such consistency
First of all very good videos! I have just started watching you!
Second, a bit of context for me: I am 37 old, I work in software development and I had a PC since I was 8. I always used Windows, Linux and Android. I respect Apple products for their quality and performance, last year I bought SH a 2015 retina Mac and I love it. But the rest of the devices are Windows(DELL), Linux(DELL) and Android (Samsung S21FE).
But I must ask... why is this copy-paste stuff such a deal-braker? How many times to you need to copy from iPhone to Mac or Tablet so fast? You either work on the computer or on a mobile device. And if you really need this stuff.. there are notes in the cloud that sync almost instantaneous. Keep notes for example. Yes is not that fast, but it takes a couple of seconds.
Then there is the copy-paste text from the image, I can do this on my Samsung with no problems.
Regarding the developer support, in your case it makes sense, I can not argue, but I tried 2 years ago an iPhone 12 and I gave it back after 1 month because of this. I used a finance app that did not have the features that there were on Android. Also I missed the clever routines from Samsung. Apple automation/focus is crap. The files app on Samsung is so good, I can connect to any kind of server remotely, comparing to IOS that lacks support.
But.. if someone needs the best video camera , the iPhone has the best, no doubt. If you need custom apps that don't work on Android, sure, get the iPhone. If you want the most fluid experience in UI, I think iPhone is the best here, but not sure any more... Samsung S models are very close. SO I still feel that for the price you pay, you get more phone from a Samsung.
My most concern is about Apple philosophy. They charge a LOT of money for the devices and accessories, they give you less freedom (security as an argument) and they know what is better for you. And they make a big deal out of small stuff on their launch events.
Oh and their crazy expensive watches look like child watches... I can not switch from my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic..
by far the best and most transparent review i've seen. Liked and subbed.
Samsung pay is honestly the dealbreaker for me, it’s the only one of the 3 big pay apps that still doesn’t accept my credit union, also the fact that it’s basically bloatware on every device that is extremely difficult to remove by design is incredibly obnoxious. As it stands I still prefer my Apple Watch SE to the galaxy watches because double press to open wallet works, with a Samsung gear It requires setting up Google pay and then navigating to it to pay which is much more of a pain. Throw in the random nonsensical crashes you experience in Android vs the stability you get with Apple and it becomes very difficult to justify switching back.
Not for nothing but Samsung/Android have their own issues they need to get sorted. Also the flip 6 left a bad taste in my mouth with its wack aspect ratio, as someone who uses my phone for gaming and media consumption having the main game I play on my phone be locked into portrait mode only because Samsung couldn’t be bothered to make the flip wide enough to support traditional aspect ratios was a dealbreaker, a more narrow portrait mode with no landscape makes for some really shit gaming
Nailed it on the business profile. Exactly why I went 11” Pro (M4). Power with the maximum portability.
