Let me guess..the answer is that they are both good in their own way.
Yep 😂
I will let you know if you are right after watching the video
Edit : I watched the entire video and the real answer was the friends we made along the way
The real winner is Nokia 3310❤
You guessed right lmao
What I was thinking
I'm happy he reiterated the "in the US" part. Here in Spain nobody uses Facetime or iMessage as lots of people have Androids so it's the iPhone users the ones that have to adapt to communicate with everyone else.
I have iPhone and I have never used them 😂
No thanks
I'm from the Netherlands, and allot of people have i phones over here, but almost no one uses face time over here either lol.
Maybe only when everyone in a family has i phones. Most people here just use whatsapp or snap to facecall anyway. i phone or not.
I have lived in multiple countries including US and no one cares about iMessage, FaceTime, and AirDrop except when I'm in US lol
i have an iphone and all my friends and family do to but no one uses facetime of i message we just use whatsapp
I have some additonal categories for future version of this:
1. Repairability/Sustainability
2. Price
3. Freedom/Data ownership
That's 3 losses for Iphone right there, lul.
@@damonsbestfriend398 yeah fr
@@damonsbestfriend398 i seriously doubt you own your data on android, but yes on the other two
@@_devilfish303 Aah, didn't notice the data ownership but, only freedom. And yeah, that's a privilege we no longer have in this day and age.
privacy and security too!
Would've been nice to see "price" category as well, right after "ecosystem", cause it really adds up... Love the video man!
yeah lol, a samsung zfold 5 is cheaper than buying an iphone 15+ipad
Yeah I felt like that was kind of a weird thing to overlook. It feels like he threw in "Excitement" so that he could have the final scores be closer, why not give Android the freebee "Affordability" category instead?
It’s impossible to compare on price because there are hundreds of phones that run different/skinned/modded versions of Android, while there are about 4 iPhones every year that all run standard iOS.
@@Matt-dp7ze Which is a distinct advantage for Android, no? Having new options at every price range is a great plus. With the sheer number of Android phones you also have a much higher chance to find a great deal on a 1-2 year old flagship. I just bought a phone that released not even a year ago at $999 for $500.
You can also caveat off of this and acknowledge the potential advantage for Apple. People that are paralyzed by options can simply look at the couple new iPhones, buy the one that fits their budget and they can rest easy knowing they're going to get a phone that's at least good.
File management system is what has kept me on Android for over a decade. The ease of file organisation and file sharing with a PC is what I like on Android.
Underrated feature
File management was important back in my single days with slow internet.
Absolutely. Transfering files to and from an Iphone is a pure frustration. Even just saving something from the web and then trying to figure out where it is in the IOS limbo. I had to buy a Windows app for 50$ just to be able to transfer files from and to my wifes Iphone. That is why I will never buy an Iphone.
File management made me buy a Surface Pro to replace my iPad Pro. The only regret I have is out of sync bluetooth audio. Windows sh*t 🤷♂️ Android would have had sync.
@MilosevicOgnjan It’s in Downloads in Files. That’s where it goes every time.
The lighting split on both sides of the room for the blue bubble/green bubble is absolutely genius. That's a lovely detail amongst many
Had to go back, lol
He always includes a little Easter egg on the background based on what his video is about. Its awesome lol one of my favorite ones is when he made a video about AirPods and there was a giant AirPod speaker on the background lol
Not THAT genius. Cool I guess but 99% of the viewers will figure it out.
@@MannyphaantomThis was good example of 'genius'
Nah only applicable to the US, the rest of the world uses messaging apps, sms are a thing of the past
Always amazing to watch you do your thing. Second time watching this video till the end. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Beautifully done! My wife and I are on both sides. Me, being a bit more tech-savvy, am an Android user, and my wife, an iPhone user... I can now quantify the 'why', even more clearly.
In my opinion, I don't think that being more or less tech-savvy changes where one goes in the "phone wars." I have a tech job and love technology, but still have an iPhone! For me, it's the security and ecosystem :)
@@mutahir2002dude, privacy and security is myth, doesn't matter if you have an Android or an iPhone. Look up the recent iPhone security myth busted . It's just a marketing antic. 3rd party apps are still allowed to play with your data, it's like apple is acting as if it's trying to stop them ,but not actually stopping them.
My aunt switched from iOS to android and she loves the operating system so much that she doesn’t want to go back to iOS. To each their own.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages and i am certainly glad that we have the option.
@@mutahir2002 people nowadays just repeat what they read online. You're not more tech savvy when using either OS, my girlfriend's cousin thinks she knows a lot about tech because she owns an android (which her boyfriend recommended) and when asked what advantages the android offers her she could only say that "Apple is more expensive". That doesn't mean that you cant be more tech savvy as an Android user, it just means that your preference clearly doesnt play any role.
@@NamNguyen-jq1rr totally agree. Majority of people who own an android for reasons such as “customization” will be the same people that run stock settings without even folders on their Home Screen. At that point, it’s just the same as an iPhone, except it spies on you, lol.
Key factors to consider, for me personally are 1. Affordability 2. Ease of repair
And social media optimization.
If fair phone was in the us it would be number in ur list
lol why ease of repair? are you really breaking your phone that much that it becomes a factor in your preference
Yes but the new Samsung costs almost like the iPhone 14 pro max and there is affordable apple products too
every iphone i’ve owned has lasted me 5-6 great years with no major slowdowns or bogs. Never needed to repair them either. Never needed to upgrade either, i just get handed hand me downs and i’m a software engineer and huge tech guy
I’m surprised you didn’t mention APKs during the apps section. The ability to download basically any app you want, even if it has been removed from the play store has always been an advantage for android.
Exactly! You can side load any android app that's ever come out. I have a favorite game that came out years ago. It's no longer in the Play Store, but I can still side load it and play it to this day...perfectly too! Plus, the main reason why Android has double the number of apps is because Apple is a closed system. Apple must approve every single app before they will "allow" it into their store! They are CONTROL FREAKS! It's a super closed system. Android is Open Source....so accordingly, it's a super open system and we ourselves can mod the Android operating system if we had the skill and knowledge to do so.
Before the current speed of Android phones, like they are now, I used to Root my phone and side load in Custom Rom's - operating systems custom designed for my exact model of phone with all sorts of speed enhancements and co0ol custom features. Plus, they eliminated anything useless that made the stock phone run slower! So, to me, because of the Open Source system that is Android, that's an EASY VICTORY for Android in Apps.
This. And good luck emulating anything on the iPhone. The App category should've definitely been an Android win.
@@DjSleeb you can side load PPSSPP for older consoles and UTM with JIT to emulate desktop arm or x86 desktop systems, both without a jailbreak ;)
That must be relatively new then. When I did my research a few years ago, it seemed very limited compared to what your options are on Android. Heck, even connecting a controller to an iPhone is comparably a brand new feature.@@erikkunz
Oh, definitely not loading an app which is outdated or removed ever. Perhaps security should be a category?
Great comparison, very insightful.
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a multi-criteria decision-making method that can be effectively used to evaluate and compare different options based on multiple factors. Use AHP to assess the relative merits of Android and iOS smartphones, considering their key features, user preferences, and overall value proposition.
I noticed you didn't mention sideloading in your discussion about apps, and it's a pretty big deal for some folks. You know, the open source community often cooks up some fantastic apps that can sometimes outshine the originals. On Android, you've got the freedom to choose whether you want to install them or not, but on iOS, you're kind of stuck with what Apple gives you. For many Android users, third-party apps are a big deal, and I think it's worth mentioning because it can be a game-changer.
RUclips vanced!
For me, i use 20+ mod apps on Android. Like mod insta and YT. I choose OnePlus 11 over iPhone 13
I have been using ad free games, Ad free RUclips, Ad free editors for more than a decade now.
You can just spin these categories in your way based on your biases and its pretty clear where Marques' biases lie. Updates on Galaxy and OnePlus phones are now pretty much on-par with what Apple offers. What's the point in comparing 2018 stats? And Androids with even version 6 or above have all the apps support they need whereas you get basically zero app-support with older iOS versions.
Same for "ease-of-use". I could list dozens of simple things which are a pain in the rear to get done on iOS, compared to Android. Mobiscrub's video about this sums it up perfectly.
that community is so minor that doesn't really natter ....
For apps, I would have mentioned the ease of Android having the ability to download and install APK files right on the phone for "un-supported" apps without sideloading. It opens things up a lot, and definitely gives Android a leg up in my opinion.
Yeah, and exposed to information leak
Also in the developing countries, there are so many small businesses(e.g. education sector) who only have apps for androids, because iOS development if you do properly still needs a Mac and iPhone to test, which are relatively way more expensive.
I pick up an apple and have no idea how to even use it, no home/back/menu buttons on the bottom. I don't find it easy to use
@@muhammadafiq8912 No one is forcing you to sideload apps. Don't wanna sideload and risk your security? Great! Then don't. Easy.
@@CaseyHayesVocalsWe are talking about this same problem in other comment! Ease of use? Not an iphone!
Thanks for the video Marquez. I didn’t realize you’d actually do it.
It’s pretty cool how you put opinion for us out there in specs and use of what we like . Hell yeah 🔥
ANDROID
Something that was ignored for the APPS section is that android gives you the advantage to use older versions of apps (in case the newer versions are just bad or not for you), you can also patch or install custom versions of many apps like the now dead youtube vanced or versions of certain apps that give you more features or just adblockers, that is a huge huge factor, also the ease to emulate videogames SPECIALLY on foldable phones.
Edit: I'll add a list of things people have pointed out in the comments + what I already said
1.- old versions of apps and modded versions of apps (RUclips Vanced, adless instagram, yt music Vanced, etc)
2.- access to apps not available in certain counties or the store at all (Japanese games for example, we know your pain proseka players)
3.- Emulation in general is really good, specially if you have a tablet or folding phone
4.- torrent downloads
yeah the ability to "side-load" (install a 3rd party app) is huge, and should've been included in the "app" section IMO.
And different app stores (if you are going to go through the effort of couting apps why not count all the apo stores for android )
This is the biggest edge case. “I can choose to install outdated apps” is not a benefit which is why it was ignored.
@@DreOrozco The point is if you want an iPhone feature on android there is likely an app for that example dynamic island
@@DreOrozco I think the bigger thing is sideloading. I think for a lot of apple users of course they won't necessarily see the point in it, but for me it's a dealbreaker. Revanced to have ad free youtube is of course huge, but there are a bunch of other apps that I use that I just wouldn't be able to on IOS
I think one thing that is generally missed when talking about "ecosystem" is how the various ecosystems play with each other. Apple devices working with other Apple devices is genuinely seamless. However, for work, I'm locked into a PC environment. If I used iMessage for communication, I'd be SOL all day without pulling out my phone to respond to messages. I can use google messages, chat, google voice, whatsapp, etc seamlessly from any device that I use regularly (currently Android phone, iPad, and windows PC). Android and Google apps play nicer across all ecosystems than Apple does, and I have zero desire to get locked into one ecosystem.
I totally agree, Marquis loves Apple for the Apple ecosystem. I hate Apple for the Apple ecosystem.
So your desire is to be basically locked into one that doesn’t work as well and often locks you out of your devices and account. And then have the option to bring everything over once you’re tired of it? If your going to end up back on the more stable OS anyways that doesn’t make android more seamless. Just makes it’s a pit stop.
And this is more prevalent when you take into account that nobody outside of the US uses iMessage to communicate. So for example if you are in Europe there's no ecosystem outside from airdropping your photos to your MacBook if you have one and other very minor ecosystem advantages.
@@ronbrown1236As an Android user of over 10 years I have never gotten locked out of my devices or accounts, so I don‘t know what you‘re talking about.
Geez, Marques declared the wrong winner then 😅
For me, it’s all about ease of use, ecosystem, and updates. Even though I’m now using the iPhone 15 Pro, my iPhone 7 from 2016 is still working perfectly up to this point.
Ok, that was a clever way to present this debate. Kudos for you :)
Repairability is an important aspect that I think should have been included. Apple devices are ridiculous when it comes to repairs. We drop our phones every now and then and this bit is quite important.
"Apple stores are everywhere " there's at least 4 Android repair places closer than an Apple store. And it would be cheaper.
@@matt45540the repair jobs at those places are often subpar though, whether it be a parts issue or a workmanship issue
actually if you realise, more and more android phones are making it ridiculous when it comes to repair as well.
@@Viewerxvery true. I love androids, but I believe iPhones are easier to repair in most cases. LG phones were the best phones to repair for me personally.
no. difficult to replace parts in android phones too. unless you're willing to spend all those heating machines, heat gun, laser back screen remover, then it's easy for you to do both.
One of the things missed in the apps section is the ability to side load apps on Android phones. The iOS app store is notoriously limiting. You can put whatever you want on your Android
And that's the problem, U can loose all your data just installing an APK from anywhere
lose all data? what does that mean? Just for context I've never side loaded apps/APK before@@marcelooscarjose8515
@@marcelooscarjose8515thats an excuse for the weak
As somebody take works as a phone store, thats a terrible feature. Tired of people coming in with a Malware filled phone. Never see it with iPhone
@LuckyNumber7ven I actively sideload apps, no malware. It's not difficult, just don't be stupid about it
I think the ease of use thing is kind of overstated. I find actually finding things in IOS to be nightmarish. because of apples minimalist design many options and buttons just dont tell you how to interact with them or what they do. The example of you pulling down the bar from the top is perfect, in android most of those options are actually labelled. I think for someone who has never touched either they are probably equivalently easy to use.
In terms of support, I think its important to note that for power users an android phone will be usable for far longer. When apples planned obsolescence starts to kick in there isnt very much you can do about it, but with android you can switch over to a still supported lighter version of android which runs fine on your phone and doesnt intentionally throttle it.
100% agree it is not easy and intuitive to find stuff or settings in iOS. Just moved to iphone and it is a nightmare at times
My personal phone is an android but I have a work phone which is Apple that I have been using for a couple of yrs. I regularly find myself googling how to find and do certain things on the iPhone all the time. There's nothing easy nor intuitive about the iPhone interface aside from calling and texting.
I think this is the best video you have ever made...most insightful for sure!
The "Apps" category could also be split into two categories, like Apps Experience, (which is how the category was talked about in the video), but also Apps Utility, which leans more on the ability to install apks that do specialized things and give you a wide range of possibilities without having to root or jailbreak your phone
Yep the way he described it, seems like it should a part of updates. App utility is like my main reason for android and it wasn't really covered.
There are a few unofficial android-only apps that are very popular like Tachiyomi for manga reading.
And also 3rd party apps installer. Apple will never do that as of right now. But ios 17, let's see how Apple implements that. Like Marques said they will do their own way.
@@orvillewhittle9304Samsung do have their version of shortcuts which is Modes and routines, which is also quite powerful
Yes, some of the best Android apps aren't even in the Google Play store
Here in India, an important factor to consider is pricing. I have always been an iphone user who recently switched to Samsung, only because of the pricing factor. Prices of iphones have gone up to insane levels, even if one wants to stay with ios, one will have to think hard about whether it is really worth it.
True…I have used several phones over the years and Apple is the best for me ….but the prices are ridiculous coz for me it’s still a phone and that’s it
True Bro...On pro model custom duty is huge.
Most flagships cost thesame and the iPhone SE was introduced for the general market.
Secondary market of Iphone is crazy in India (I have seen people buying Iphone SE2 with so much excitement) but Models that are not assembled in India are costly by 30-40%.
I personally feel many people (especially Millenials and GenZ) are buying iPhone only because of status symbol it gives in our society.
One guy mocked me and said bhai iPhone le le ; he was having iPhone 12 while I was using S23 ultra, I just smiled to him.
The base models for the iPhone 14 and Galaxy S23 are the same price, the higher end Galaxy models cost more than the higher end iPhone models. Whenever the pricing factor gets brought up in comparison it's always the person comparing the highest end iPhone with the lowest end Android but that's just not the case.
besides the topic at hand. The subtle details in the background like the split of android/windows and Apple with the room lit green and blue. To the J Cole track: Nobody is Perfect. All of that are reasons Marques' videos are a great watch and highly appreciated
If you use Apple, you use Apple. If you use Android you use anything except for Apple.
i use both 😂 my everyday phone is apple but my tablet is an android lol
underrated comment
@@PEPPACHICKENme too lol, and I also switch between apple and android every time I upgrade
i like how you walked through how to make and use a decision matrix - a lot of people can benefit from using it on a lot of important choices that they normally struggle with
I came up with that as a teen, as I always had trouble making decisions, but it only made my paralysis analysis worse, as I would get stuck deciding how to rate which factor.
It’s the same problem of iPhone vs Android. Ease of use and less choices (Marques’ results without the matrix) vs more accurate & flexible but a more time consuming setup & learning (your personal results based on the decision matrix).
The split screen in S22 using one hand operation + is easily the best thing that a smart phone can have.
If u map the swipes, a simple swipe down splits your screen and it becomes super easy to use multi window.
They have it on the iPad so I’m sure it will come to the phone
Being able to simply do more with the same device outweighs everything else
Love this analysis. You covered areas that are really overlooked but are important regarding all what is around choosing and using a mobile and its ecosystem. Thanks!
Not really, he left out a bunch of things to make it look closer than it actually was
Hey Marques, that's a very smart system that you give us there.
I think it's really important that he pointed out that this is from America. Outside of the US and Europe Android has a much larger market share. And that comes down to the hardware and ecosystem. USB is huge. But also so many more hardware options. iPhones in general are more expensive. But there are some very cheap Android phones out there. It's going to be the only thing you can afford if you lack cash. Changing sims or having multiple sim cards is very important too. Expandable memory. And so on.
Facetime and other iCommunication is not a thing outside of the USA. Even in Europe it's only for hardcore Apple fans. It's not only phones, but I find it funny how the people from "the land of the free" want so much to tie themselves to a company and it's products
I live in the UK and the 'facetime and other icommunication' is super big over here@@MK-je7kz
Like whole Europe is on Android.
In France I feel like everybody that can afford it has an iPhone, we use FaceTime and iMessage a lot. I am always impressed by how whatsapp is more important in neighbouring countries.
I don’t live in the US but nearly everyone I know uses Apple’s FaceTime and iMessage. Also very few of my family/friends have Android phones 🤷🏻♂️
I love the "Call Screen" and "Hold For Me" features on the Pixel along with the Astrophotography mode. It cuts out so much noise.
Yooooo wtf ..I was like "what astrophotography mode"..sure enough it was in there. Holy shit that's 🔥🔥
Yeah, iphone has the call screen and hold for me, too. A little different but pretty cool.
@@makasete30incredibly inferior
some of the astro mode pics i’ve taken in less light polluted places travelling are incredible, really underrated feature
I'm VERY surprised that Camera wasn't in any of those categories...
You are near brilliant I think. So, so, so smart, intelligent. I enjoy so much your analyses of electronics and cars. Best wishes to you always.
Sideloading for Android continues to be amazing, since living in countries where certain apps are censored, like RUclips or Gmail in China. For me, customization means so much more than just the launcher and app behaviors, although that's definitely a perk! It's more about how Android democratizes their features with choice and variety.
Where tf do you live? Pretty sure Chinese people all use vpn
True but ease of use ought to fit into it as well, my mom whose awful with tech recently joined me going to iPhone after basically almost like 8/9 years of just android and for me it’s been amazing she’d sideload dodgy APK files from the web which turned her phone mental with popups all over the place (which I had to fix). So far on iphone she hasn’t had that issue and been content for the most part
@@valvevac-systemchecker3773🤡🤡🤡
@@valvevac-systemchecker3773 People mistook ease of use with Customization, and it kinda suck that mkbhd only touch on the UI for customization.
iphone is just clear winner on ease of use, i would honestly think it's the no.1 reason people choose iphone. Your iphone... just work. While Android sometime require you to go install additional app before it "feel right" for you.
For customization, the moment you bring in side loading app, especially modded app or app that is not in the playstore, you can almost do anything you want with your Android.
I think he should've included a specs category
The thing that I love about using an Android is that you are not locked in a single ecosystem, there are a lot of options with Android.
the apple ecosystem for me is just better and more convenient so i prefer it.
Well said
options customization and form factors favors android. apple is boring
And they all suck in at least one way. Thats the android way!
Illusion of choice is a great motivator
So amazing to see someone beeing so natural and not toxic. You are so right. Buying a phone is a very personal experience :D
Been saying this for YEARS. Depending on your preferences, wants and needs, you'll figure out which is best for you (if you haven't already). But we're super lucky to be able to choose between SO many great devices who differences, at the end of the day, only come down to you.
W Take
Exactly! I've found myself switching from Apple and Android products over the years and the devices I used reflected what was going on in my life, what I needed, and what I wanted. It's okay if someone has a preference for one OS over the other, but some people get so obnoxious about it. Certain phones, tablets, laptops, phones, etc. will have features that work best for certain people. Figuring out what works for you and what makes you excited about using them is what makes tech so fun.
3:44 Focus Mode has been in Android since Android 11 when Digital wellbeing was introduced Check in your Digital wellbeing section
i was thinking the same.
Exactly. I was wondering what he was on about about focus mode being new and on iphone alone. I've had it on my old 2019 cheap android phone for years.
I have been an apple user for decades so switching to android is never going to happen. I am impressed by his balanced approach to both platforms so I can clearly see both sides of the debate. Since I own an iMac, a MacBook, an iPhone, an iPad and an Apple Watch, I am totally happy being a locked in resident of Apple’s ecosystem. I am a retired senior citizen who has lived in the same house for 45 years. I have also been married to the same person for 52 years so I admit to being firmly set and comfortable in my ways.
Hey no one blames you there! You already have something that works for you.

Michael, thank you for sharing your opinion, it was a pleasure to read :)
That’s a very brave and unbiased review! 👍
A comment regarding the apps section (from an app developer in a team of both Android and iOS engineers): besides the efficiency that was mentioned in the video, there’s often a financial incentive to prioritize iOS: with paid features, developers often see a 85/15 split (or more) between iOS and Android. iOS users are just more ready to pay for apps and subscriptions.
Yes, this. I'm an app developer and I use an Android personally but, across the apps I've published, iOS users are way more likely to pay for stuff (the apps themselves, in-app purchases, etc.) so iOS gets the priority for financial reasons.
@@benweston9158 This should have been a category or at least a consideration in the apps category. I never switched to IOS because they were charging for apps I used in Android that were free. I recently bought an IPad mini because the size fit well in my vehicle. GOD... I hate trying to use it! I know, that's beside the point. But the back button on Android makes things so much easier. I mention that because you developers that prioritize IOS apps don't typically prioritize this AWSOME feature in Android. I know when I hit the back button and I get a notification asking if I want to exit the app that the developer was to lazy to code it in. Also when the back arrow is in the app it's in the upper left hand corner which on todays phones isn't reachable with one hand use. LAME
aka sheep
@@DrSpaceman69I bet you pirate all your paid apps and subscriptions
@DrSpaceman69
You drones need a new tune, that one was old a decade ago.
And it’s ok to say you don’t know how app development works financially. But if you think you’ll get the same apps for free, that ain’t it.
Regarding the ecosystem, we have to keep in mind that with android it's usually compatible across all android devices, meaning you don't have to specifically be bound to one company or product.
Guess it comes down to ease of use vs customization.
and android has compatibilities with PC and Mac. like i can text from my PC or Ipad, doesnt matter.
You know iphones works with windows also
yeah but iphone ecosystem is just better dont even lie its not even close
@@trixywixy2841 we all know that.. we also know that all of the Is features and Customization eats up the battery people never said that
What about prices for each system. For my wife and I, it is ease of use. Great video for sure. Thank you, Marques.
Man! Thanks for this excellent review! If there was one video that helped me to choose which phone I should buy it would be this one, and I’m shifting from iphone to samsung, thanks again keep up the great videos 👍🏻
I think more tech reviewers should take repairability into account when making these comparisons.
Ehhh most people don't replace their own batteries that's more of a super techy person so I see why they don't.. their trying to compare things that most people care about including the casual
@@AUPNEXT I'm not talking about self repair. Repairability in general. A lot of people if not most are going to have problems with their phones. Especially after a year or so. It's not reasonable to buy a new phone every year.
Would be cool to get a vid on the new Fairphone 5, such a repairability champ!
At the same time though Android phones are made by such a huge variety of manufacturers that compared to iPhones there's not much of a point of using that as a point in a review mainly about the OS
@@debleb166 you can at least choose a more repairable phone with Android. But that's not the point. Apple should be held accountable for the anti consumer practices. Maybe that way something changes in the industry.
The subtlety of the lighting/set decoration corresponding to the side of the pocket that you pull each phone out from is why you’re the best tech RUclipsr in the game.
He's black too which helps
Good eye.
I think the iPhone was in his undies, hear that elastic strap
@@talananiyiyaya8912 no way, you're lying (I'm blind and only listen to his video)
The thumbnail where the phone's look so similar in that color.
For pricing follow this: Cost of the phone / number of years of security updates. Then factor in build quality, repairability cost, etc.
I'm a little older than Gen Z so I haven't really had any issues with getting "green bubble shamed" but a lot of the features I use in Android that make my life easier really aren't available on iOS. Since I'm a PhD student I need to manage a lot of files and iOS' clunky approach to file management is pretty annoying when on my android I can basically just use it as a portable hard drive. I might not get air drop but that's really not that big of a deal for me personally.
Good luck with your phd
I have both the iPhone 13pro and the galaxy s22 and I prefer my galaxy mainly because the file management system between my computer and s22 are essentially the same. It's really just plug and go with Android and that ability is the nail in the coffin for me without mentioning other perks with Android specifically such as split screen, easy app management per home screen, more usable apps from the control panel, usb-c lol more freedom to use the device how I see fit❗
@@jaebee9805 Same here not the phones specifically but the basic plug n play file system is such a huge benefit I could never live without.
Samsung can do their own "Airdrop". Nearby share, quickshare, etc. I have a Samsung tab 9 ultra and an s22 ultra and they can pass files back and forth all day long wirelessy. I love it.
You manage a lot of files on your phone? What for?
In countries like here in India, another factor people would take in account (and probably prioritize over others) is affordability and features offered at that price by different companies.
Ironically, one of the strengths of iOS.
The long support time by Apple makes the iPhone SE one of the cheapest phones to buy… especially when you consider what you get for it.
I actually just moved here to india and need to pick up cables, outlet converters, some electronics, LED lights/strips, etc. Is Chroma a good place for that? What places would you recommend? Since I don't have local bank account yet payment here has been tricky.
Nah
@@GTORTnever bought from there but I think you can give them a try as they are a trusted brand and they have many outlets here in India
I personally like to purchase these things from small stores as they usually provide a great customer service and discounts
@@zeitgeist27 exactly, not to mention quality. I switched from Android to iPhone and my iPhone is the longest I've ever owned the same phone. I'm really rough with my devices, I go a lot of places phones should not go but the iPhone has survived falls, been soaked in water, and even stolen by a dog and still works (more or less) like new. This alone has made it cheaper for me than any phone I've previously bought.
For features I would have liked to see you mention that while all the features are on the one iPhone (Pro models at least) but lots of features on android are spread across lots of phones and companies. So you can have any one of them, you might have to choose.
This guy should be on TV. His explanations are very good.
No
About the focus mode. Android already had that, there is a built in app called Digital wellbeing that lets you do a tone of stuff, like set bed time where the phone will automatically go into grey scale and limit notifications, there is focus mode, you can manually set what app notification you want to see, you can set timer on any app, that will cause the app to close when the time is up and limit screen time and will only reset the next day. And a tone of other stuff. Just had to put it out there for anyone who didn't know.
Edit: The app is inside settings by default, you can enable it to be a standalone app if you want to. It also shows you your screen time and where you spend that time.
The way focus mode works is way different and you have a lot more options and can add unlimited focus modes, digital wellbeing is completely different.
@@nishantrajani7372I will say there's still do not disturb that can be enabled with a set time, sunset to sunrise, or manually. Then you can tweak each and every notification to interact differently with do not disturb enabled or disabled. Seems like the same thing to me.
@@catboy3471Go and use bixby routines. you will get to know what automation is.
Yea, but which android phone has that? Don't you have to have a specific model or OS?
@@Bwalston910 what I’m saying is you get multiple focus modes each with their customised settings like lock screen or app notifications for eg when I turn on the sleep mode it only gives me notifications from 3 people, on the work mode my ig, youtube and other notifications are off but say I want the driving mode where everything is off that’s another mode, I can create any number of those focus mode for gym for home for a particular trip and not touch the default ones which will still act the same when I need them. And I can chose any of those modes at anytime depending on my mood, its like having multiple dnds on android if that makes sense.
9:26 One thing that doesn't get mentioned enough regarding apps is sideloading... As someone who lived abroad and uses apps from all over the world, I cannot imagine being locked in to the app store
The App store is excruciating to use. Try to install an app....you will be tested and warned constantly and asked for your password and facial recognition and your pin just because you wanted to install RUclips.
@@SeveredLegsJust put in your password then use touch or Face ID What’s excruciating about clicking a side button twice and looking at your phone?
@@KorekFrostI mean it sounds like nothing but it is annoying when you're used to never having to do it.
@@KorekFrost The fact that some people have to try and install multiple apps of same kind to see which is more suitable to our needs.
keyboard is still pretty bad on iPhone !
The annoying little things like this on iPhone made me give up on my newly purchased 14 pro max, tried it only for a month and gave it to my mother and bought a cheap s21fe on sale for the time being.
With side loading comes risk of privacy, data tracking and obviously it affects the performance and battery life. I use android I know how exciting it is to download any app, download apps for free with side loading even if they are not free on Google play store but one thing for sure it really affects the performance and battery life of your phone as the apps are less optimized and there is no quality control, they can have some viruses or steal some data from you and you wouldn’t even know about it since there is no quality control. I am not saying Google play store or Apple App Store doesn’t have apps with viruses or privacy concerns but Apple usually resolves issues pretty quick. I had a Samsung S20 ultra and was always big part of having custom launchers, custom side loaded apps like but as some time passed my phone started lagging hard, overheating and battery life started draining faster than usual. There is a reason why iPhone’s battery life is good compared to android despite having smaller battery capacity, it’s all about optimization similarly how MacBook’s with M1 and M2 chips last longer compared to their window laptop counterparts, windows and android are open source platforms and you can mess up badly if you don’t really know what you doing or getting into with side loading and other stuff.
Ive been using iphone for 10 years, and when i used my first iphone it left me so impressed that words cant describe, so i stayed on that road for a very long time. Why did no one tell me that android has come this far? Just bought flip z 5 and it is blowing my mind.
Video is so spot on about everything. Very fair.
You should mention Android's ability to sideload apps and alternate app stores to circumvent georestrictions and payment gateways in the app section. That's a point for Android IMO. Another point on the support front, most android apps and features support versions of Android going back further than the last supported IOs version. IE you can run Google pay, Uber, Whatsapp and and all the others on 2017 or older Androids. Android 8+ covers everything. Anything older than the Iphone X cannot run modern IOS and many apps no longer support it.
That's definitely a point for Android. There are no ads in almost every app, RUclips, Instagram, or every big/widely used app. Almost every paid app can be downloaded for free. How is that bad for the end user? I have become so used to not having any ads on my phone that I, in no way, could switch to an Iphone.
@@fr0g1299you could even bypass in app ads by side loading moded apps. 🤭🤭🤭
@@fr0g1299that paid app part is kinda subjective. For users then sure, not having to pay anything is good. But let’s say if you’re a developer, then knowing your apps can be cracked easily, and you’ll also have to optimize for a lot more different devices would make Android much less favorable than iOS.
@@bva6921exactly
There will be sideloading on iPhones soon aswell :)
To me...the fact that one is a closed system and the other is more open is a big aspect and it has all sorts of repercussions
Are you saying you like or dislike Apple's closed system?
@@ziocrielo6148 I didn't mean it as a personal preference, more as an important aspect to run aside all the others. A differentiator. Personally I appreciate Apple products a lot but closed systems are not for me
@@sdeutscher okay, I was just confused cus your initial comment was super vague
I think as an ideological core, it explains a lot about what you can expect from each system, and a lot about who will prefer each system. There are obviously advantages to both, and a lot of them have been demonstrated in the video.
Google prolly spies more on it's users than Apple... Apple users are "basic", Android people usually have way more going on their phones than just iMessages and Camera so it leads to more apps / things to "analyse"
A very thoughtful review, which is really what your subscribers have come to expect. For those of us who don’t have any blind loyalty towards either system, it’s hard to disagree with anything you say.
One really important missing category: longevity of the devices
Most of us can't afford/don't have a real reason to change our devices every 2 years, so knowing which device is reliable in the long run is a deciding factor for many casual users
I love this subjective equation you set up at the end. I'm going to share this with everyone who ever asks or brings up this debate from now on.
Or just tell ‘em iphone clearly better
@@richfactualsavage6219using both at the same time, and that is simply not true.
I switched from using two Android phones for 4 years, to a Lumia (RIP) to an iPhone, and then back to an Android phone, and honestly all are great in their own way. I can't say one is the clear better choice but I mostly see myself using an Android in the future since A. I don't live in the US and B. iPhones are crazy expensive in my country. Plus, new Android flagships come with great pre-order bundles, like smartwatches, or wireless earbuds or even both.
you should also add the accessibility ans affordability aspect which is more important for developing countries.
Note to software updates: You can get at 8 years of promised Software updates from fairphone. So for example their newest Fairphone 5 will be supportet at least until 2031. And for example the fairphone 2 which launched 2015 got software support till 2023.
DeX is one heavily weighted category of its own for me. Not just connecting to a PC, but connecting to any screen or even a projector and using it as a proper full res landscape screen is a gamechanger
How many times this saved me the hassle to buy an extra tablet/laptop for this. I just put my slides, get a USB-C Hub and connect to the projector.
yeah.. My desk setup is a type c dongle setup with screen kb & mouse hooked up to it. I switch between my work and personal laptop all the time on it and once I just connected my samsung to it and it turned into a freaking desktop, hella impressive.
I carry very basic USB C to HDMI with me and i own s22+ i have lots of movies/drama etc downloaded, which basically means that i have my smart TV in my pocket aswell if i go anywhere and there is screen with HDMI than, i could just plug and enjoy. DEX is underrated nothing else to say
Lol dex is useless nobody uses that garbagw
if you dont have a "lite" version of anything...
I think Fairphone deserves a mention on software updates, the Fairphone 2 from 2015 got its last update this year, and the Fairphone 3 got to Android 13 even though the chipset only officially supported Android 12. Now, the Fairphone 5 is right around the corner and promises 5 years Android updates and 8 years security updates. But they're probably gonna push it even further than promised, as they've done with pretty much all of their previous phones. I only just found out myself, quite an overlooked brand.
I was about to comment this :D
Would love a Fairphone with a faster soc
The problem is that it is still only a mid range phone.
@@YourLocalCafe would probably get the nothing 2 for now. Hopefully Fairphone will drop a phone with a better soc in the future
I was thinking about this, the problem with comparing android to iOS is that if there is something specific you really really care about, you can probably find an Android phone that does that thing better. Usually it means they will be less great in other areas (like the cameras on a Fairphone). This is why you can't really compare the two as Android is really an OS and iOS is just Apple (so you're also comparing support, hardware, etc).
I don't why but value for money/pricing wasn't a category considered here, considering the fact that it would be an important factor for a lot of people...and we all know which side would have won that.
I literally cannot decide between the two. I keep switching back and forth. Maybe the solution is to have both haha.
One thing that’s important to me, usually Android apps support many more versions of Android compared to iOS apps. Most apps will still run on Android 7 today, but even iOS 14 isn’t supported by some popular apps now. Another thing is that it’s very easy to sideload apps on Android, so you can install apps that aren’t in the play store/have been removed from the play store. However, this obviously makes it easier for untechnical users to accidentally install malware, so exercising caution is always good while sideloading
Android gives you about 5 warnings if you want to install an APK. I feel like a non-techie should know when to click cancel. You would have to really be asking to get scammed to accidentally install malware.
Untechnical users will never sideload anything on their phones. They probably don't even know about the developer options.
Oh god, users who get malware this way are stupid. There's a big banner whenever you're trying to install an APK that warns you about the potential dangers.... Plus even if you install a malicious app, in modern android versions it runs in a sandbox with limited privileges anyways...
Yes, this! I got burned hard by Apple when my iPod Touch basically became unsupported soon after I got it (apps were no longer compatible). Or even when it was still getting OS updates, I couldn't install some apps I wanted.
On Android? There's never been an app that I wanted to install that I couldn't.
name the apps which ios 14 doesnt support i will wait
Hello fellow engineer here: that skill of making a ranking system like this is known as a Decision Analysis Report (DAR) and something a lot of engineers struggle with so if you can think of this scale, congratulations that’s part of an engineering job 🙂👍🏼 just here passing on information so someone can get inspired to be a part of this industry moving forward
Ok
But one leaves out a category like ehhh costs the decision making is based on.....
You forgot to give a comparison on security issues
Missing one category. Security/Privacy
For Apps, MKBHD left the fact about APKs and that you can download any app at any version off of the web (modified or not like youtube and spotify).. I feel like that's an important note. It would definitely conflict with the ease of use
most apps outside of the play store are bed. Really bad. That's not an advantage, and doesn't take away the fact that iOS just has a way better app ecosystem and developer attention.
@@prateekpanwar646cause it's downloaded from an untrusted website most likely
Exactly, sideloading, and also accessing a file explorer and downloading and storing any files i want anywhere
I was thinking the same thing. He just overlooked the fact that there are apps that are amazing.
@@angeltorres7048Three of my five most used apps are not on iOS. One is sideloaded. Even outside of those five, emulation is just so much better on Android.
For me personally the repairability is also a huge factor. And with an iPhone 15 you have to transfer the flash and wireless charging module when changing the back glass if you still want to be able to take pictures with flash. Only to name one thing. This is honestly what keeps me from switching to iOS
That's true. But what I realised travelling all over the world is that you can get an iPhone really repaired anywhere because it's so popular. You can easily get a screen repaired anywhere, whereas I had to seriously search for a repair shop that could replace my Pixels screen just because it's not sold worldwide.
The replacement parts for iPhones might not be original, but at least anyone can fix it (not talking about official apple stores which charge you way too much to replace single things).
But tbf that's not making me switch to iOS 😂
@@FechrisLP Yes that is true as well. Though I'm not really a traveller. But yes you can also get a lot more accessories for iPhones as well
@@FechrisLPi thought apple prevented people from repairing their phones unless it was from them
how often Android 'brakes'??... I had for several years Samsung's flagship,.... NEVER broken.. so.. guys... very theoretical debate desperately trying to find 'strong points' for Apple.. must be then really bad if you get to this level of 'reasoning'..lol. @@FechrisLP
@@chhoyla Yeah thats true, but I usually stick to my phones until they die. Which, granted, is usually a shorter lifespan with Android. That is actually the biggest reason for me to go iOS
Love your videos. Just wanted to add that iOS doesn’t have scheduled texting. I’m switching to android just for that option.
The Apple AirTags is a massive feature. Using all IPhones that are around to find an item is incredible useful. (Yes before switching from Android I tried Tile)😅
The main feature for me that keeps me on Android, you kinda touchedon it talking about an "actual file manager" at 4:45, would be the agility to connect a USB drive (and device) and it for the most part just works.
Same here. I have gotten so used to file manager on Android, i dont use iPhone much, even though i bought the 12 pro when it came out😅
iPhone doesn't have a fucking file manager????
@@xulqarnaen it has, since ios 15 or 16, i think. it just isnt as good
@@xulqarnaenNope. Simply nope. Not even when you jailbreak will you have a native file manager. Not even triggers of that file manager.
Maybe I'm underrating some aspect of the iPhone's Focus Modes, but Android does have it (or at least my Galaxy 21 Ultra & 23 Ultra do). Even before the feature was added, I was able to jury-rig some set routines for when I'm working, at home, driving, working out, and sleeping through Google Assistant.
I would also like to mention, bixby routines which have worked quite well for me since the past 2 years almost
I have this feature in my $150 phone 😄
I have Focus mode on my cheap android phone too.
Yes it's not the same guys.
@@zt9233 It is literally called focus mode
It's not which one is better than the other, it's about what is good for you.. both phones are amazing and that give so much.
How about one that folds out to a tablet?? My Z Fold 4 does that. And DeX allows screen mirroring to a Windows desktop or notebook. Also has stylus support with an S Pen, Fold Edition or Pro. The Pro has many more features than the Apple Pencil, thanks to Bluetooth and location ability. Also controls the camera remotely and media.
Ease of use should have talked about the three fixed buttons on Android. The back button, the Home screen button and the running apps button. Plus if you customize the phone the way you want it then it's easy to use. Back arrows in the app suck. They are in the wrong location for one handed use and they aren't always there.
I finally gave up the android buttons in favor of the gestures last year
To go back to a previous page (in apps and in the browser) you just have to swipe to the right from the left of the screen. All apps have that so you don’t have to reach out for an on-screen button(:
If you have to customize the phone to make it easy to use, it's not easy to use. It means the buttons were in the wrong place to start.
I agree with you on all the categories except ecosystem... because if I buy a song or movie from Google, I can listen to it/watch it on literally anything, but if I buy it from Apple, I've got to watch it on an Apple product. That's always been the deal breaker for me. Maybe we're just defining "ecosystem" differently.
Apple Music and Apple TV are also available on Android.
the idea of an ecosystem is the ease of use among products of the same company. if you have all apple products (i.e. you're fully in their ecosystem) then that isn't an issue for you
@@ricardo_neves Thanks for educating me! I see Apple Music in the app store - but it looks like the Apple TV app is maybe only available for Android TV devices? I can't install it on my Pixel 7...
@@luked8449 yeah, but if for example, I wanna transfer a single file or a couple of them to a Windows device, apple makes it hell in comparison to android. On android it's more like that things are gonna work better within the ecosystem but it doesn't make it hell to use in different ecosystems... Just not as good as it would be in its own ecosystem
It really still depends on the user, me for example, I like gaming a lot and I hate it when my hands gets fried from gaming on an iphone for even just like 5mins, I thought they fixed that on the iphone 15 to 15 pro max but some people say it still gets super hot, and when it gets hot the screen will automatically dims. Also I’m from Philippines and we are not familiar with imessage and facetime, we mainly use facebook’s messenger where you can message and videocall anyone who uses messenger.
2:19 that is INSANE for me
I did NOT know that
This felt like the perfect opportunity to make people blind vote for their favorite categories first and then see how it adds up at the end. There are a lot of people who fanboy apple or android and really don't know what they want. If they voted first it could help them see where their head was at before the results. I'm sure what was important to them at the end of the video was likely biased just because they now recognize what side won on certain attributes.

@@rushabhshah.2768I did but okayyy
For the apps category, there are so many apps I use that are not on iOS. Like, three of my five most used apps aren't on iOS, including one that has to be sideloaded. Being unable to sideload apps, have good emulation, etc... It makes Apps a clear win for Android, personally.
yeah, but as everybody knows it: thats personal. i LOVE emulation on PC, but i dont like to game on my phone. so i couldnt care less about it, for example. same as for using apks or alternative stores.
@SquirtleBaiano the fact that the sideloading option is available on Android and not iPhone should give the win for Android. Market has always been Apple bais
@@Bellinghieri of course not. as I said, its personal.
Curious- what are the 3 most used apps that aren't on iOS?
@@maryw459 probably emulators and modified version of social media apps like whatsapp or instagram
I love that this RUclips channel is the most unbiased opinion I’ve seen!
One more point regarding customization is not inside the phone but outside. The range of phone cases available for iphones is on next level. Thats one factor which excites me and hold me to move to Samsung Ultra where i find cases a bit boring !!
Key phrase here is « in the US ». Not just the ecosystem but also ease of use! I learned from my less savvy family and friends that ease of use is way more correlated with first use than the subtle Apple way; if someone’s first smartphone is an Android then it’s easier for them than iOS. Considering Android is dominating outside the US, it’s more likely to be the first smartphone a less savvy person would buy and would be their easier platform to use for the rest of their lives.
Spot on here. iPhones used to be sooooo simple to use. Literally the "take this one grandpa, it's easier" (back when android was all about 3rd party roms and shit). Now there's no buttons and it's "oh yeah, you didn't swipe on the correct part of the screen to do it right" wand if you haven't used an iphone for years, its honestly really not user friendly at all.
I was an android user for my whole life until I switched to an iphone last year. And I immediately noticed the disadvantages (for me) because I couldn't sideload apps, couldn't download mp3 music and the customization wasn't there. So I switched back to android and Life's been great. I might try an iphone again if they get a full screen display idk.

One of the biggest features I miss about android that I wish was on iOS is multitasking/multi window and pop out window support. There are so many times where I’m using two apps at the same time and keep flipping back and forth between them and it would be so much easier and more efficient if I could just have one app on the top screen and the other app on the bottom screen. APPLE PLEASE ADD THIS
Depending on your phone model and iOS, you can potentially Jailbreak your iPhone and get that.
Go back to samsung android bro
@@Mr_Gorskymost people actively pay for their phones so jailbreaking may not be viable if it voids warranty. Also jailbreaking isn’t all that simple like it used to be unless your talking about those temporary jailbreaks that revert back when the phone dies or restarts.
@@thomasnelson213 Jailbreak is not the easiest and has its limitation and does not exist for the newer phones yet (if it will). But it might be an option for some.
And by the way, it won't void any warranty as long as you revert the phone to regular iOS before you bring it to an Apple Store.
As far as I know, it's the easiest part to do, simply reboot the phone.
Or in some rarer case, on an old phone/iOS, it's simply to connect to a computer with iTunes and hit restore.
@@Mr_Gorsky Jailbreak also means having to take care yourself about all the updates. That's loosing one of the biggest cool things on iOS: The fire and forget.
For the ease of use section, some Android phones (which Windows Phones also came with) was some kind of easy mode, usually as an accessibility mode whereby all the icons are increased in size and the UI design, such as buttons also get enlarged. I don't know if this feature still comes included on many Android phones but I remember seeing it ~2014 on some Samsung Phones, while Windows Phone has the "Kids Corner" around the same time...
The "simple" mode is amazing for elderly people who will just use the phone itself or one or two apps at most
iOS17 also introduced a new simple mode accessibility feature. It doesn't simply turn icons larger: it turns the phone into a ridiculously simple interface with only the most basic features like calling, taking pictures etc. and if you open, let's say photos, the photos app is very simple photo app with a grid of photos and a huge "BACK" button
The real elderly hate iphones, the gesture navigation is absolutely not for elder or easy to use for them, then there are buried and very weirdly classified settings on iPhone. And some messed up stuff like every night at 12 the wifi always turns back on, reviewers don't mention these things.
It does come on androids still and it's very useful for the elderly

Android actually does have a similar feature to iPhone's focus and its just called modes (the feature exists at least on Samsung which is what I have) It lets you even have modes auto activate when you reach a certain area or connect to a certain Wi-Fi network or during certain times of the day. Lets you do the whole who can call or text you, what apps can be used etc.
Sad he forgot to mention modes and routines on samsungs
The feature is there on most Androids... He missed it
its available on xiaomi devices too
On Samsung watches you can turn on modes. I wish he talked about it but I'm putting it here so he or his team sees this.
I immediately thought of that when he mentioned focus. How come he not know about Samsung's modes?
