As a Pixel fanboy, I truly appreciate your fairness here. Although I'm not an iPhone person, I definitely respect it for it is. I honestly wish I could have one as a secondary device, but i do have a 10th Gen iPad so i guess that makes up for it lol.
@@KoalaBeer. This personally never bothered me really. It seems to charge pretty quickly when I connect a USB-C to USB-C cable vs a USB- C to USB-A cable..
I've been feeling this way for a while now. I'm just really tired of iOS. It's been about ten years since I've been with it, and it's time for me to return to Android. I haven't had an Android since the Galaxy S4, and I'm ready to go back and experience something refreshing and new.
The back gesture, app library and being able to see the time till full charge are little features that I absolutely love about android. The back gesture is activated by swiping inward even from the right side meaning no stretching all the way to the left side to go back and its the same behavior everywhere On iOS going back is sometimes a swipe down, a swipe left, not available, different from screen to screen etc
Ya I always thought it's weird that people talk about iOS being easier to use, but it doesn't even have standardized navigation controls, so every app you use is different. Meanwhile, Android has the same swipe gestures system-wide, or you can even choose to use the digital navigation buttons.
THIS. The GF says never can go to Android because too hard to use. We swap phones sometimes and I feel like a 90 year-old trying to use a computer for the first time. Using an old Linux distro is more intuitive 🤣🤦♂️
After 2 years for Android I went back to iPhone. Android was a really really great experience, but with iPhone I feel like I am at home. Plus Apple Watch are just better watch and Apple health app and API is just better. It give me so many data. For example my smart scale from Xiaomi, on Android I need to write all the data to Google health, Samsung health, Huawei health manually, but on iPhone it uses Health Kit API and all the data are automatically transformed to Apple Health. BTW green bubble and blue bubble? It is not an issue outside US. We all just use WhatsApp.
@@Cooley93 it is not. So many feautures are missing. I can’t just write how much calories I had eaten. I can only add 100 new foods. And nothing more. And drinking just adding by glasses instead of just writting the ml 🤦♂️ also as I written, the Zepp life app for my Xiaomi Smart scale is conected via HealthKit, on Android I needed to write it down manuly and I was not able to wrote everything.
I use both iphone and pixel and i love the minimalistic ui in pixel but one thing i wanna add that pixel doesn’t have dolby atmos in apple music but Samsung devices have dolby in apple music. Which i really miss in my pixel
at such an impasse lol. I came fro years of Android and went iOS bc nothing on Android stood out anymore to me after LG threw in the towel so I went iPhone. Macs make for better laptops imo a the AirPods Pro 2 are really solid. I was considering switching back to Android this time around but lacking AirDrop (I work in entertainment so AirDrop is a must have) and iMessage for an Android where I still feel like I'm compromising doesn't feel like the move to me
You have to try the convenience of fast charging on devices from the likes of xiaomi, oppo, vivo and oneplus, plus they've got sick cameras and much faster processors and interface than pixels
I also have an Android, but love Apple for the hardware design and jelbrek tweaks. Being able to install apps from google play that aren’t available/possible on iOS (Tim’s restriction list lol) makes privacy a no brainer to use android (specific case uses) 👍
google is the biggest spy company in America, they collect literally every data point they possibly can about you. I know apple does this too but its less severe.
Refreshing objective insight into another tech option that you're not usually familiar with. Much respect. It seems a rare ability to objectively compare and point out abilities or limitations from so many Apple centric channels
This review was the very definition of subjective, it wasn’t really objective. You just liked the review cos you’re probably an android fan and he spoke highly of the OS.
@@DW-py4upit sounds a bit more like you're a fan that struggles to take on board insights from a RUclipsr that tried something different and had some points to make. 🤔 I do use both Android 14 Motorola 30 ultra (basically pixel android) and GFs 14pro who just got 15pro which seems near identical to me (maybe there's differences?). So do use both.
@@Spoonfed78 A fan of what exactly? There’s a question you can avoid like the quintessential RUclips commenter who can’t form a worthy rebuttal. Yes he had points and i don’t have a problem with any of them, but calling them objective is just disingenuous. To clarify, cos you seem kinda confused… my issue isn’t the review. My issue is YOU calling it objective when it clearly isn’t. Read my comment a few times so you can comprehend it. And to answer your frankly pointless question. Yes! I have an S23 ultra for work and an IPhone 15 plus as my personal phone. Not that that makes any difference to this exchange
Great video! I’m considering a switch because I’m bored of iOS. With blue bubbles, what happens when you transfer your phone number to the android phone? How do you set it up to retain the number on the Apple iMessage server?
It’s likely going to stay on 18; I’ve kept all of my other nice iPhones on older versions so I need at least one that I can use on the newest software. I plan on giving the 14 Pro to my mom as an upgrade when I’m done with it, so no point In keeping it on an older version as I know she’ll update it anyways.
@@AppleManiacYTI prefer running the older software on my main phone (right now I’m on an iPhone 14) it was running iOS 16.1.1 however it updated on me when I was in school even though automatic updates were off, 17.5.1 has given me a lot of over heating issues and I plan on getting an upgrade should I wait for the 17 or get the 16?
Which one in particular, the home screen or lock screen? They're both built-in android wallpapers, but if you want one of them on an iPhone I could probably find it for you
Android comes in lots of different “flavors”. Stock android/Pixel experience, One UI, MIUI, OxygenOS, etc. Samsung uses One UI; I’m considering trying one. Just like someone else in my comments warned me not to do, I’m falling down the rabbit hole of Android 💀
I LOVED my Pixel 7 Pro. The stockness/cleanness of Pixels UI and AOD. Sad i got rid of it before Android 14 though. Honestly I hate OneUI 6 on my S23U. Hopefully 7 is better. Hoping to get a Pixel 9 Pro Fold this year/next.
It's pretty clear and clean. Use a moto edge ultra which is close as to pixel spec android. Didn't mine oppo ui either, pretty good balance of changes but not over done
It's really refreshing seeing videos like that where people go on and play a bit with the "openness" of android. I saw you jailbreaked an old iPhone, maybe you'd like to root/install a custom rom on your pixel some day. Anyway, better than most mainstream videos
Bro has a full deck of iphones
🤣
@@SirLancelotTheGreat just was waiting on him to stay it's time to duel!!
Meanwhile me with my 90 phones: you know only a fraction of my power..

true. bubble problem only in US.
See that makes no sense why not use iMessage
Should've just use Samsung or Google for Android ecosystem. Samsung health is the android version of Apple health

What calendar and reminder app did u use?
tbh transitioning is way better anywhere outside US cause no ones uses iMessage and sms lol
never knew why this happened only on the US
because "downloading new app bad"
It's weird as, why anyone wants to be so locked into a single brand for their life association is 🤷♂️🤦♂️
@@Spoonfed78caz 'Murica.
@@Prince_Sidon 🤣 freedom only matters when it comes to guns maybe 🤷♂️
Cuz when SMS was new on phones it was cheaper in the US than the EU.
So there was no need to switch to an Internet chat app.
Can you do a follow up video please!
Can you share the Pixel’s wallpaper ?

Now do a video where you completely customise every aspect of the andriod phone to your liking and then compare it to your iPhone

I have both iPhone and Android phones, I prefer the way the notifications stack by app in iOS
wallpapers?
Just subscribed😊

Good video. You briefly mentioned the "Find My" app. Is there a equivalent on the Android side to track family members with iPhones?
Samsung has a good "spotlight" search. I like it.
I recently switched from iPhone to pixel and so far I prefer pixel now but I still use iPhone for my games lol

how did you make your iPhone clock rainbow ??
iOS 18 introduces a new Lock Screen clock color gradient option.
@@AppleManiacYT Alright, well I’m not going to have that since im stuck on ios 17 waiting for a jailbreak.

Like 1/10 of them.
There is like 10000+ android phone.
To be fair no one will trust you with that fanboy name of yours. Your opinion is biased and you clearly don't know anything about Android phones.
iOS 18 is an almost complete clone of android 4.4
The finger unlock is pretty slow in the Pixel 6 😂. Seeing this in my Pixel 7
Samsung phone with either Pixel experience or Lineage OS custom rom
An apple user mostly in india is already an android user
