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
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.
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.
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'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.
@@OzanG31 lol I do what ever I want to do with my android. sideload apps, install moded apks, use lucky patcher for in app purchases. trust me, I'm the admin. you cant even do what I just did if you own an iPhone lol.
@@OzanG31 Android's don't necessarily require Rooting (Jailbreaking) for enhanced freedom and customization, on the other hand, an IOS is like a prison
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
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.
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
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
@@ryanzhang4897he means you have the choice of a whole host of different devices if you choose android, but if you choose apple, there’s not many to choose from
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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
As a long term android user, I have never understood the "ios is simple to understand and use" argument. Any iphone that has ever been handed to me has been like trying to read ancient greek. It does not feel intuitive at all
I'd say it's more of limiting what you can adjust to keep the experience similar for everyone just so some people who lack knowledge don't accidentally change some settings and regret it. Either way I'll always stick to android. Even if I ever get an iphone I'd put an android sticker over the apple logo
Literally, i was actually shocked just how insane it is to use. No universal back key? The way the control panel and notifications drop down and work is insane and nonsensical. Doing anything especially in default apps requires you to find the settings in the main phone settings menu, just an utterly baffling software experience. Im not like a super anti apple guy, i think that their phones are good and reliable for the most part, but iOS specifically is unbearable to me. I cannot stand it. It lacks basic navigation and accessibility features that android users literally take for granted. Oh and nevermind that you cant do shit on iOS without jailbreaking it, no APKs no launchers no mods, nothing. They barely allowed basic homescreen customization and only recently.
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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).
I didn't care much for iPhone, but I only started really hating it when I was asked one time to move some photos off an iPhone onto a laptop. If it were an Android, I'd simply connect via USB, navigate to DCIM, drag and drop the photos, and done. Not with the iPhone. You MUST use iTunes. You MUST use the sync function. And since the person didn't have an account of any kind with Apple, there was a serious threat that creating an account and having the iPhone sync would wipe the photos away. If I can't simply drag and drop some photos from a phone then the ease of use kinda goes into the toilet. The Apple ecosystem, its philosophy of end-to-end servicing, is all fine and dandy right up to the point you want to just step slightly in another direction. I still remember reading about an argument between Jobs and Wozniak; Jobs wanted all their Apple computers use a special Apple designed printer connector, Wozniak argued that people just wanted to connect the printers they already had with the standard that everybody was already familiar with. Jobs wouldn't have it.
And then they say "ease of use" :) anyone who says an iPhone is easy to use have never seen a computer or doesn't undersand what a computer is. For me, Apple's products are terrible when it comes to user friendlinies and ease of use, they just make me feel stupid. And this tech guy making the video is just promoting that myth instead of just boycotting the company that has boycotted the world and is holding technology back while abusing its power over the masses.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Yeah I was surprised to hear that because I've been using focus mode on my Samsung for long before this video was out (and again, I can customize it any way I want)
"Do not disturb" features was there since Samsung galaxy s4 or 5 lolz. I just think his team fucked this up because they don't use android crazy! How can he use the two phones and can't notice the "do not disturb" feature is insane.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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❗
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
@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.
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.
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.
@@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.
I’ve recently bought an iPhone for the first time. I gotta say the Android back gesture with the thumb is the thing I miss the most about Android. Notifications icons on the top bar is also something I miss a lot. I was expecting more from iOS
Same thing. Bought 15 pro max as a first iPhone. Now will wait for new Samsung. iPhone users don’t even understand how many not needed gestures they make in order just to go back.
I just switched to iPhone from exclusively android and specifically pixel. The biggest thing that I miss so far is the lack of universal back gesture swipe from either side of the phone like on my pixel. Other than that, everything else has been pretty minor.
@@Rationalreviewer iPhone and Windows will never get along the way you want them to. Apple wants you to switch to mac and that's really the only option you have.
@@willo1345 I can not switch to a Mac. I sometimes have to code…So what do I do. I want to keep an iPhone and the windows. Please give me some advice that will work
^^ exactly what i was thinking. "ecosystem" is just as important of a factory as "multitasking" a pretty big lack in the video imo, since iPhones are truly horrendous at multitasking, literally unable to do more than 1 thing at times, Just software locked to do exclusively the basic things, average user might not be annoyed much by that but it is a deal breaker for me lol
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.
@@CallMeCharlie_ I think it would easily got to Samsung. On iPhone you don't even have Secure Folder and Knox. Security/Privacy wins Android, especially Galaxy, at least if you are basing that on actual tech and not on ads.
@@MyUsername09AZSo why is Cellebrite able to unlock any Android phone in BFU or DFU mode apart from Pixels in BFU mode (but still can in DFU mode), but no iPhones running iOS 17.4 or later can be unlocked by vulnerability? Please explain
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.
I very recently moved from ios to android (google pixel) amd am a huge fan of the file management systems on android, makes transferring files across go PC so much easier. I also really appreciate how there are great android devices for a very low price if you know what you are looking for, very much in contrast to the iPhone ecosystem. Nice video though !
Does that mean that on an iPhone that you can't plug it into the computer and drag files into the phone's file system? If that's true then I'm guessing it's due to a security risk reason. Although for myself personally that is not a good enough reason to cripple my usage of a phone.
@@jamesfstokes No I don't mean it in that way the files are much better organized on android and also most android phones have better than usb 2.0 speeds unlike lightning.
So we’re back to the ecosystem category, and once that comes into play and you have a max Apple wins hands down. There’s no one ‘best fit’ for everyone
Marques added the perfect element to diffuse any possible declaration of war at the end of the video lol! Well done brotha, well done! I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max, things I wish I could get rid off on screen, the widget screen ... I'm forced to populate it because I can't get rid of it yet there is an option in iOS to remove "Search" from the home screen, what?!!? lmao Also, I wish I could see my time in AM/PM but no, apple doesn't let you do this! So what I did was switch my phone to military 24 hour time and on the widget screen I have an analog clock, so I can compare the two and get a sense of what time it is ... instead of waking up at 8 pm when it is actually 20:00 hours thinking it was 8 AM ugh! There are also other things that you cannot customize like the color/image of the debit cards you have added to your wallet, inability to remove inactive apps from the history, requiring a payment to be on file even when you want to download an app that is FREE! I'll say this again and again, the iPhone itself is a magnificent piece of hardware and iOS is sometimes the breaking point, it looks elegant in some places and in other places, it seems to have a cancer that can only be treated but not cured.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
@@MC-oi2pb because it basically is. People are desperately trapped in the "us vs them" mentality on everything from their political party to their favorite sports team, the list never ends. If there's one thing I could erase from the human psyche, it'd be this "You either agree with me or you're literally a villain" mentality.
No matter how many pros about an android u mention; an iphone user never chose iphone for its quirks and features😅😂. The power of logo can never be shaken.
iPhone OS still cannot separate RINGTONE vs NOTIFICATIONS vs MEDIA... etc... why? It's such a simple yet useful setting available in Andriod for a long time now.
mrwhosethebooss and many other creators recently uploaded a same video yesterday trying to show ios superior something is sus also bare in mind its time for iphone 15 series to launch never expected this from marcues and arun this video is definitely sponsered by apple trying to defame android and samsung as their 15 series launch date is comming soon trying to shift android users to apple soo trash false misleading marketing by apple and these creators
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
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 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).
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.
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 😂
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
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.
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.
For updates/support, all iPhones have access to the latest iOS at the same time. I used to have Android and maybe it’s not the case anymore. But updates would roll out in batches back when I had Android (flagships got the earliest access).
I subjectively believe that the open source development within the Android App Ecosystem is a plus that iPhone doesn’t have. You have to use their own language to develop and you can’t just build an app for them as freely. I think the ability to find more apps that are personal to you is a winner for Android. And I’m saying this as an iPhone user that has not used an android since the 6plus iPhone
For me as a photographer the ability to use apps outside android store is super important. I use dwo different gcam ports which allows me to take much better pictures.
@@paweswierczek6265this is also an argument for me why Android should have won the App category. I hate ads, so blocking them everywhere I can is a main goal. Want to block Ads on RUclips, Shure just use vanced, NewPipe or whatever you like...
@@dutyrover946 I agree that the major apps do for sure. But that’s due to barrier of entry and system efficiency. It’s built on swift for an integrated hardware. But I was referring to the breadth of apps and lower barrier of entry for Android.
As always, pristine content. One thing you did miss though (under features of Android) is the ability to multitask using Split-Screen or even multiple popups. Also, In Samsung - you can do App-Level volume control and run multiple media apps at once. Eg: playing an instructional video for cooking on RUclips, putting its volume to zero, AND playing YT music in the background. Some android features are untouchable.
iPhones can multitask and do that now too. I can run RUclips whilst using other apps. Maybe it may not run as smoothly as Samsung yet but it’s possible
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.
I completely disagree with the ease of use. I have both - work iPhone, personal android. I dread using my work phone. Typing on an iPhone is the most counterintuitive experience. Every time I use my iPhone I want to smash it. Android you just place the cursor where you want it. iPhone only places it at the front and back of words, easily. (If you swipe to type you get me) It's a hassle to correct spelling. This alone would prevent me from ever buying an apple. Coming from Android, using Apple's UI is akin to writing with the opposite hand. I say this having used my work iPhones for a decade now. For a techie, Apple does not make sense. It challenges the way everything is done, and when it's the individual device in an ocean of tech, it's nuances are more frustrating than inventive.
I'm in the same situation. 3 years now using iOS + 2 back in the day that I had an iPhone 7 and still feel like the OS is kind of rigid? Like not intuitive. When they say it's easier to use maybe they refer to 4 year olds but any regular adult can use both so screw that argument
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.
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.
That's a pretty deep topic on its own. Android has infinitely more options in each price range with some rather loud and attractive devices on the low end but on the flip side, the iPhone experience across all price ranges is much more consistent as well as it generally being better value to buy an older/used iPhone vs an older/used Android phone for the same money.
Perfectly summarized! I was planning to finally move to iPhone 15 but deep within I know I can't. Android feels more personal to me, I love customizations!
Dude , I did move to iPhone last year and really I couldn't keep up with this shitty af OS named iOS, Honestly there are tons of little annoying things that iOS does that really effects the usability for one who used android for whole of his life, like 1. The absence of a universal back button, and 2. Not being able to download or run stuffs in background, seriously dude it's a shame a flagship phone in 2023 can't even send like 100 WhatsApp photos in background; the moment you go back to home it stops sending photos , 3. lack of customization 4.The lack of a proper file system, 5. The notifications are a mess in iOS, In a android you basically can choose which type of notifications you wish to get from a specific app, e.g you can opt to receive only important notifications from Amazon and choose to block all their promotional and spam notifications but in iOS you will either get all the notifications or none. 6.Also you can't call record in iOS 7. And for some weird reason iOS only stores record of last 100 calls only, like really ? What's the need of this stupid limitation. I can list many more but enough of rant for today 😂, because of these reasons, last month I sold my iPhone 13Pro max and got a S23 Ultra only after 11 month of using it. And honestly can't stop myself but to adore how good of a phone S23U is . I would never get a iPhone again atleast not for next 4-5 years.
* upcoming Realme GT 5 - 240w charger. * iphone - What is Watt ? We earn more than Chinese. We sell 20w charger seperately for Rs 2,000. 😀😀 * iphone : Same old notch ( now modified as "Dynamic island" ) , no charger in box, no 3.5 mm audio jack, no FM radio, no expandable memory card slot, usb type 'C' charging port only in latest 15 series from September 2023. 🤔🤔 But, iphone is the best. 😀😀
I switched from Android to iPhone when iPhone 12 came out. Samsung Galaxy S9+ RIP headphone jack. Once Android deleted the headphone jack I figured I didn't really care anymore. I miss the customization of Android, but honestly I doubt I'll go back.
Great and very reasoned analysis. I am an android devotee and have been since I put aside my Sony Ericsson phone for an HTC Hero 100 (now I'm devoted to Samsung). I appreciate the Apple ecosystem and totally get the appeal of the accessibility they have with all their products. My wife uses an iPad over her laptop for teaching and note taking. Both operating systems are more than we could've hoped for just a few years ago and I think it is all dependant on what flavour you prefer nowadays.
I could never get over the useless Samsung apps on android. And the prices on Samsung are just as bad as iPhones with absymal update support Bare bone android is just superior.
@@pvc8749 Samsung has better update support than even google at the moment. Plus at least their S and S+ devices have 120hz screens unlike the iphones.
@@RequiemRhythmXIII only the pro models at $1000+, if you want to buy a 13 pro today with battery degradation go ahead but even used it may still cost more than the newest Samsung non-ultra phones

Android like Xiaomi has the best ecosystem, practically everything you need in your life can be integrated into Xiaomi, your home , your office, appliances, furniture, electronics, kitchenware , clothing, everything
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
@@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.
One caveat about updates is that many Android phones have the ability to install custom ROMs. So, while the original Pixel released in 2016 will not get Android 14 from Google, you can get it via LineageOS. This kind of thing is not possible on unsupported iPhones.
A thing to mention regarding Apps/Ease of Use on Android is the ability to change the home app (launcher). A concept that is completely foreign to someone who has only used an iPhone. My mom struggles with technology. So for me to have the ability to put on a home app for her that minimizes the UI to something even simpler than an iPhone's UI is really great. Plus, for her she's only ever used Androids. So in her case, ease of use is probably at the top of her list, but having to learn to do things the Apple way will feel impossible to her compared to sticking with a home app I've installed on every Android she's owned over the years.
Oh definitely. It's just that it took someone (i.e you) to do that for her, whereas I have relatives who live far enough away that I couldnt even walk through that process of changing the launcher, and have since worked with an iphone just fine.
@@tahaqazi5595 but they more than likely are getting their help from friends, coworkers, or an Apple store / support. Just because you aren't present doesn't mean they don't need help.
That would actually be perfect for my grandma. She has had an iphone for as long as I can remember and she still cant figure out things like, turning on cellular data and connecting to a Bluetooth speaker in the settings
also ease of use is subjective, through time we build habits and behaviours so switching them would lead to a steep learning curve. I found more people not wanting to move back from an iphone to an android for the straight forward experience vs friend who would move back to an android from an iphone. Ease of use is more personal i feel.
I love how chill Marques is as at 17 million subs. I’m pretty sure if he had 117 million he’d still act the same way… same tone of voice, same Content, same outro. Love it.
@@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
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"
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...
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.
The most basic feature I miss the most from Android on my iPhone is being able to change the volume for media vs phone ringing vs text, etc. It being all one volume bar on the iphone is bonkers to me. You're listening to music that was mixed low at a comfortable volume and then a text comes in that deafens you. The runner up feature I miss is having letters, numbers and symbols on one keyboard face (iPhone keyboard is STILL trash after over a year of having this thing. Thought I'd forget how it used to be...). I hope Apple changes these things, but more likely I'm going to stop caring about imessage group texts/facetime and go back to Android (for these reasons and the rest in the video).
The keyboard is probably the main factor stopping me switching. Google do a keyboard for iOS, but when I looked into it, they track keystrokes(or used to).
Really?! I've just ordered an iPhone as I broke my pixel and thought I'd try it out, why wouldn't they separate volume controls?? That's like having to have my TV set to the same volume as my doorbell!!!
I'd argue that sideloading should've been mentioned in the apps section. Generally agree with the observations made, but there's so much that's not available on vanilla non-jailbroken non-circumvented iOS, like: emulators, youtube (re)vanced, de-listed apps/games, etc
Well, I think this comparison was made from a general consumer's perspective and not a power user. Because if we go that route then, almost all categories (except ecosystem and ease of use) will go to android as stuff like custom roms and sideloading exist.
@@codex2621 Don't some people in the general consumer use apps from different countries? How would you go about installing banking apps from different countries if you have accounts overseas? Signing out of iCloud entirely and deleting data, switching to another iCloud, all just to install a secure app is dumb imo. Why are apps all region locked? It doesn't make sense. I just switched to an iPhone and it is pretty annoying in some ways.
Every year we have this kind of videos, but this year, the last section was GOLD. gold in terms of visualization and the commentary from Marques. Quality content, as usual. On another note. I always look your videos on a 4k panel, but the crispness and the lighting of this video was superb. Thanks
Even when Marques does a video that others have done thousands of times, he gives an unique twist that makes his content unique and much above average. Marques and his team deserve all the compliments they receive.
Agreed. No one can say "iOS is the BEST for YOU!" "Android is the BEST for YOU!" Even if someone did say that, everyone will be in an uproar talking about "How is he going to say what's best for ME". As was said, and why I agreed with your assessment, is it's up to the end user and what each one prioritizes. 👌
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.
Nice review :) Just one point as to why companies prefer to develop mainly for ios: I worked as an app developer for quite some years and it was always because of the revenue. Even with the same amount of people on both platforms, the revenue on ios is usually higher, since people owning iphones tend to spend more money on good quality apps. And one of the most annoying thing to develop around was always the apple notch, not only the android aspect ratio.
Is it easier to build apps for an ecosystem that's closed(Apple) compared to one that's open system like Android? Maybe that's the reason ios is the go-to first for developers 🤔
No, both platforms are really developer friendly, what decides the developer experience is if you build native apps or use cross platform frameworks.@@sambell3103
The notch is also one of the main features in iPhones, not because of the notch itself, but because of what lies behind. Which, along with the available computing power, brings seamless 3D face ID even in the dark.
The discussion by itself already moves a lot of people, but the level of production in this video it's mesmerizing. Loved the way of scoring on its own!
Excellent breakdown. I like the idea of weighing options based on personal needs, I suggest adding price as a category ( Maybe that's a feature ) For example for about $300 on sale, I can get an Android phone with good speed, 8 GB Ram and the ability for up to 256 GB internal & 512GB of SD space Not close to an option on iPhones Android is also much more inter-operable
Apple phones tend to retain value better than android because the demand is higher, so if you upgrade every once and a while, you can trade in the phone for $600+
Whilst that seems good on paper, there’s more to using a phone then just simple specs. I’ve found a lot of those cheaper android phones a pretty crappy experience in comparison to higher android phones and iPhones. There are also areas where they cut back such as the camera, screen, build quality, standby battery etc. But if money is a problem then you can get some pretty good deals, that’s true.
@@makasete30I hear you but with android, you can actually buy flag ship phones with little compromises for cheap. As long as you aren't buying the very latest version.
@@jesseruks That's kindof just a repeat of the support/update category, and also misses the point that you wouldn't need to sell the phone for such a high cost if you never spent half that in the first place.
Thank you for having an honest discussion. I just came from a jerryrig video where he spent 100 days with an iPhone and it seemed like he was biased from the start.
My one gripe is you sold short the concept of ecosystem in Android. It's an open ecosystem that allows you to jump from brand to brand and to combine brands between products (like phone, watch, tablet, PC etc) and even services/websites. I have a gmail account that follows me everywhere and simplifies my life so much. The idea of being locked in to IOS/MacOS will always be the biggest deal-breaker for me.
This fact also makes it super easy to use multiple phones. When I upgrade to a new phone, I'll usually keep my last one and still use it every now and then for a year or so. It's super easy to do, even if they are different manufacturers, since they basically work the same and the accounts/services are the same. There's be no reason to keep using your last iPhone since they really aren't any different.
Yeah, ecosystem is a great thing, but not when a company uses their ecosystem to try to force you to use their products. I'll take freedom every time over an ecosystem that does everything else better.
I wouldn't necessarily mind being in a closed eco-system, but Apple is just ridiculously overpriced. I've bought my Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite for 240 € three years ago and still like it, especially regarding performance, battery-life, OLED-display and camera-quality. This thing has a 5260 mAh battery while the iPhone 15 Pro has almost 2k less, but would cost me 1200 €. And a three year old iPhone 12 Pro is still 3x the price today, but lost more value than I've paid for the phone.
@@Redridge07 An ecosystem should not make someone feel forced to only use products by one company. Apple creates that entrapment by making almost everything they make so that it only gets along with other Apple products. For example, want an Apple watch? You have to have an iPhone to use it. Want to use iMessages or talk to others that use iMessages and use the latest texting technology? You have to use an iPhone, because Apple won't allow things to work nicely without the iPhone. It's a way to control people and not play fairly. If you don't mind companies controlling you, that's up to you. I buy devices so that I can control them, not so that they can control me.
So well done. I watch these vids to keep myself in the know so I don’t slip back to the stone age. Latest and greatest tech isn’t my thing but dang these vids are so well done!
The big thing you are missing with apps is the ease of side loading apps on android. That on its own puts it miles ahead of the locked down apple environment.
bought samsung note 9 new from samsung. never updated from 2019. work perfectly to the date. not planning to update ever. use of antivirus and a blocker that block any apps that I not using currently makes me and my phone happy.
It's amazing how much this tech has evolved. My first "smartphone" was a Palm Treo...and then a BlackBerry...and then a number of Android devices (OG Moto Droid, Nexus and Pixel devices). Ive also had a couple of iPhones. While a lot of the hardware and software features have become pretty even, in comparison, i like my home screen set up a certain way..that can't be done on an iPhone.
I miss the BlackBerry days just for that awesome keyboard. Besides being faster it's just so satisfying. A Google Pixel with a BB keyboard I would throw $2,000 at it
Dude, you guys are awesome. I mean, y'all simplified this topic so well that fan boys might even dislike you guys for this 😂😂😂. Definitely sharing this on my social media platforms.
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
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 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.

What I was thinking
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.
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’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?
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
If you use Apple, you use Apple. If you use Android you use anything except for Apple.

I recently learned that this may be the best route as most public has ios@@PEPPACHICKEN
@@ryanzhang4897he means you have the choice of a whole host of different devices if you choose android, but if you choose apple, there’s not many to choose from
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!
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
As a long term android user, I have never understood the "ios is simple to understand and use" argument. Any iphone that has ever been handed to me has been like trying to read ancient greek. It does not feel intuitive at all
I'd say it's more of limiting what you can adjust to keep the experience similar for everyone just so some people who lack knowledge don't accidentally change some settings and regret it. Either way I'll always stick to android. Even if I ever get an iphone I'd put an android sticker over the apple logo
Don’t talk about my Country.
@@michaelhatzigeorgiou470 Chill man, it’s not that serious
I recently switched to iPhone and I understand your point better than anyone. It took me a few days to understand the in and outs of iPhones
Literally, i was actually shocked just how insane it is to use. No universal back key? The way the control panel and notifications drop down and work is insane and nonsensical. Doing anything especially in default apps requires you to find the settings in the main phone settings menu, just an utterly baffling software experience. Im not like a super anti apple guy, i think that their phones are good and reliable for the most part, but iOS specifically is unbearable to me. I cannot stand it. It lacks basic navigation and accessibility features that android users literally take for granted. Oh and nevermind that you cant do shit on iOS without jailbreaking it, no APKs no launchers no mods, nothing. They barely allowed basic homescreen customization and only recently.
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.

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

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.

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.
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 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
I didn't care much for iPhone, but I only started really hating it when I was asked one time to move some photos off an iPhone onto a laptop.
If it were an Android, I'd simply connect via USB, navigate to DCIM, drag and drop the photos, and done.
Not with the iPhone. You MUST use iTunes. You MUST use the sync function. And since the person didn't have an account of any kind with Apple, there was a serious threat that creating an account and having the iPhone sync would wipe the photos away.
If I can't simply drag and drop some photos from a phone then the ease of use kinda goes into the toilet.
The Apple ecosystem, its philosophy of end-to-end servicing, is all fine and dandy right up to the point you want to just step slightly in another direction. I still remember reading about an argument between Jobs and Wozniak; Jobs wanted all their Apple computers use a special Apple designed printer connector, Wozniak argued that people just wanted to connect the printers they already had with the standard that everybody was already familiar with. Jobs wouldn't have it.
And then they say "ease of use" :) anyone who says an iPhone is easy to use have never seen a computer or doesn't undersand what a computer is. For me, Apple's products are terrible when it comes to user friendlinies and ease of use, they just make me feel stupid. And this tech guy making the video is just promoting that myth instead of just boycotting the company that has boycotted the world and is holding technology back while abusing its power over the masses.

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.
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
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).

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
@@Matt-dp7ze that's kinda the point, isn't it?
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.

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

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.
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.

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.
I’ve recently bought an iPhone for the first time. I gotta say the Android back gesture with the thumb is the thing I miss the most about Android. Notifications icons on the top bar is also something I miss a lot. I was expecting more from iOS
same - i switched back to android
Same thing.
Bought 15 pro max as a first iPhone. Now will wait for new Samsung.
iPhone users don’t even understand how many not needed gestures they make in order just to go back.
There is a back gesture you can do on iPhones
@@stamatisloukas8544cuál?
The keyboard.
Android keyboard is just more convenient.
I just switched to iPhone from exclusively android and specifically pixel. The biggest thing that I miss so far is the lack of universal back gesture swipe from either side of the phone like on my pixel. Other than that, everything else has been pretty minor.
Do you use windows? How do u cope with windows and iPhone. I just switched from s22 ultra to the iPhone without doing any research
i have a pixel and dont even use the gestures lol
@@squidwardo7074 Use the gestures and you will never go back. Its amazing and works with pretty much every app.

I like the fact that you're using the word "ecosystem" for a phone. What a trip through a house that a phone can bring! Happy tidings!❤❤❤❤❤
The biggest feature iOS is missing is multitasking. This is the reason I use Android as my daily driver and the iPhone as my secondary device.
Isn't it a "new" features only on the iPhone 14 onwards?
Question is why do you have an iPhone as a secondary device? Why bother? Only asking out of curiosity.
and well organized notifications.
^^ exactly what i was thinking.
"ecosystem" is just as important of a factory as "multitasking"
a pretty big lack in the video imo, since iPhones are truly horrendous at multitasking, literally unable to do more than 1 thing at times, Just software locked to do exclusively the basic things, average user might not be annoyed much by that but it is a deal breaker for me lol
@@SToXC_.very curious... what types of things do you use multitasking for?
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.
Missing one category. Security/Privacy
that category in 2024, is a bullshit... ;)
I mean why because it would easily go to Apple so it just makes their lead bigger.
@@CallMeCharlie_it’s still a valid point to be bought up. As a apple user, I think both have its ups and downs.
@@CallMeCharlie_ I think it would easily got to Samsung. On iPhone you don't even have Secure Folder and Knox. Security/Privacy wins Android, especially Galaxy, at least if you are basing that on actual tech and not on ads.
@@MyUsername09AZSo why is Cellebrite able to unlock any Android phone in BFU or DFU mode apart from Pixels in BFU mode (but still can in DFU mode), but no iPhones running iOS 17.4 or later can be unlocked by vulnerability? Please explain
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
I have some additonal categories for future version of this:
1. Repairability/Sustainability
2. Price
3. Freedom/Data ownership

I very recently moved from ios to android (google pixel) amd am a huge fan of the file management systems on android, makes transferring files across go PC so much easier. I also really appreciate how there are great android devices for a very low price if you know what you are looking for, very much in contrast to the iPhone ecosystem. Nice video though !
Does that mean that on an iPhone that you can't plug it into the computer and drag files into the phone's file system?
If that's true then I'm guessing it's due to a security risk reason. Although for myself personally that is not a good enough reason to cripple my usage of a phone.
@@jamesfstokes No I don't mean it in that way the files are much better organized on android and also most android phones have better than usb 2.0 speeds unlike lightning.

Marques added the perfect element to diffuse any possible declaration of war at the end of the video lol! Well done brotha, well done! I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max, things I wish I could get rid off on screen, the widget screen ... I'm forced to populate it because I can't get rid of it yet there is an option in iOS to remove "Search" from the home screen, what?!!? lmao Also, I wish I could see my time in AM/PM but no, apple doesn't let you do this! So what I did was switch my phone to military 24 hour time and on the widget screen I have an analog clock, so I can compare the two and get a sense of what time it is ... instead of waking up at 8 pm when it is actually 20:00 hours thinking it was 8 AM ugh! There are also other things that you cannot customize like the color/image of the debit cards you have added to your wallet, inability to remove inactive apps from the history, requiring a payment to be on file even when you want to download an app that is FREE! I'll say this again and again, the iPhone itself is a magnificent piece of hardware and iOS is sometimes the breaking point, it looks elegant in some places and in other places, it seems to have a cancer that can only be treated but not cured.
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 :)
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

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.

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.....
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).
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos until 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.
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

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
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
For updates/support, all iPhones have access to the latest iOS at the same time. I used to have Android and maybe it’s not the case anymore. But updates would roll out in batches back when I had Android (flagships got the earliest access).
I subjectively believe that the open source development within the Android App Ecosystem is a plus that iPhone doesn’t have. You have to use their own language to develop and you can’t just build an app for them as freely. I think the ability to find more apps that are personal to you is a winner for Android. And I’m saying this as an iPhone user that has not used an android since the 6plus iPhone
For me as a photographer the ability to use apps outside android store is super important. I use dwo different gcam ports which allows me to take much better pictures.
@@paweswierczek6265this is also an argument for me why Android should have won the App category. I hate ads, so blocking them everywhere I can is a main goal. Want to block Ads on RUclips, Shure just use vanced, NewPipe or whatever you like...
As a former android user. Apps simply run better on iOS.
@@dutyrover946 I agree that the major apps do for sure. But that’s due to barrier of entry and system efficiency. It’s built on swift for an integrated hardware. But I was referring to the breadth of apps and lower barrier of entry for Android.
@@dutyrover946 As long as you don't need better camera on Instagram/snapchat i don't think jt is that significant (at least for majority of people).
As always, pristine content.
One thing you did miss though (under features of Android) is the ability to multitask using Split-Screen or even multiple popups.
Also, In Samsung - you can do App-Level volume control and run multiple media apps at once.
Eg: playing an instructional video for cooking on RUclips, putting its volume to zero, AND playing YT music in the background.
Some android features are untouchable.
Is this app level volume control possible in all Android smartphones?
@@shashankethane No.
@@shashankethanemost name brands
But what about better performance and better camera quality on iphone?
iPhones can multitask and do that now too. I can run RUclips whilst using other apps. Maybe it may not run as smoothly as Samsung yet but it’s possible
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.
I completely disagree with the ease of use. I have both - work iPhone, personal android. I dread using my work phone. Typing on an iPhone is the most counterintuitive experience. Every time I use my iPhone I want to smash it. Android you just place the cursor where you want it. iPhone only places it at the front and back of words, easily. (If you swipe to type you get me) It's a hassle to correct spelling. This alone would prevent me from ever buying an apple.
Coming from Android, using Apple's UI is akin to writing with the opposite hand. I say this having used my work iPhones for a decade now. For a techie, Apple does not make sense. It challenges the way everything is done, and when it's the individual device in an ocean of tech, it's nuances are more frustrating than inventive.
Ik exactly what ur talking about and it’s gotta change cuz I went from android to iPhone and the cursor thing is an issue
I completely disagree with you. 😅 Judging from the way u say it I think u only used iphone less than a month
Iphone has the best security/privacy and it's easier to use than Samsung (this is not only mine opinion. U can check in ANYWHERE)
I'm in the same situation. 3 years now using iOS + 2 back in the day that I had an iPhone 7 and still feel like the OS is kind of rigid? Like not intuitive. When they say it's easier to use maybe they refer to 4 year olds but any regular adult can use both so screw that argument
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.
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?
Amazing video as always. But I think one key thing is missing is the variety of price range
That's a pretty deep topic on its own. Android has infinitely more options in each price range with some rather loud and attractive devices on the low end but on the flip side, the iPhone experience across all price ranges is much more consistent as well as it generally being better value to buy an older/used iPhone vs an older/used Android phone for the same money.
This, a lot of people who live outside rich countries don't realize that iPhones are way too expensive.
You don't want those cheap versions anyway, and they're probably why Androids get a bad wrap vs. Apple.
Marques and his tech buds doesn't care about the price since they don't pay for their devices or maybe have money enough to not care
@erskinhansen1715 Not true at all, enjoy paying more though.

Perfectly summarized! I was planning to finally move to iPhone 15 but deep within I know I can't. Android feels more personal to me, I love customizations!
I'm in the spot but I love the freedom
Dude , I did move to iPhone last year and really I couldn't keep up with this shitty af OS named iOS, Honestly there are tons of little annoying things that iOS does that really effects the usability for one who used android for whole of his life, like
1. The absence of a universal back button, and
2. Not being able to download or run stuffs in background, seriously dude it's a shame a flagship phone in 2023 can't even send like 100 WhatsApp photos in background; the moment you go back to home it stops sending photos ,
3. lack of customization
4.The lack of a proper file system,
5. The notifications are a mess in iOS, In a android you basically can choose which type of notifications you wish to get from a specific app, e.g you can opt to receive only important notifications from Amazon and choose to block all their promotional and spam notifications but in iOS you will either get all the notifications or none.
6.Also you can't call record in iOS
7. And for some weird reason iOS only stores record of last 100 calls only, like really ? What's the need of this stupid limitation.
I can list many more but enough of rant for today 😂, because of these reasons, last month I sold my iPhone 13Pro max and got a S23 Ultra only after 11 month of using it.
And honestly can't stop myself but to adore how good of a phone S23U is . I would never get a iPhone again atleast not for next 4-5 years.

I switched from Android to iPhone when iPhone 12 came out. Samsung Galaxy S9+ RIP headphone jack. Once Android deleted the headphone jack I figured I didn't really care anymore. I miss the customization of Android, but honestly I doubt I'll go back.
Great and very reasoned analysis. I am an android devotee and have been since I put aside my Sony Ericsson phone for an HTC Hero 100 (now I'm devoted to Samsung). I appreciate the Apple ecosystem and totally get the appeal of the accessibility they have with all their products. My wife uses an iPad over her laptop for teaching and note taking. Both operating systems are more than we could've hoped for just a few years ago and I think it is all dependant on what flavour you prefer nowadays.

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.

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.
One caveat about updates is that many Android phones have the ability to install custom ROMs. So, while the original Pixel released in 2016 will not get Android 14 from Google, you can get it via LineageOS. This kind of thing is not possible on unsupported iPhones.
A thing to mention regarding Apps/Ease of Use on Android is the ability to change the home app (launcher). A concept that is completely foreign to someone who has only used an iPhone. My mom struggles with technology. So for me to have the ability to put on a home app for her that minimizes the UI to something even simpler than an iPhone's UI is really great. Plus, for her she's only ever used Androids. So in her case, ease of use is probably at the top of her list, but having to learn to do things the Apple way will feel impossible to her compared to sticking with a home app I've installed on every Android she's owned over the years.
Oh definitely. It's just that it took someone (i.e you) to do that for her, whereas I have relatives who live far enough away that I couldnt even walk through that process of changing the launcher, and have since worked with an iphone just fine.
@@tahaqazi5595 but they more than likely are getting their help from friends, coworkers, or an Apple store / support.
Just because you aren't present doesn't mean they don't need help.
Yeah but your mum wouldn’t be able to do that.
That would actually be perfect for my grandma. She has had an iphone for as long as I can remember and she still cant figure out things like, turning on cellular data and connecting to a Bluetooth speaker in the settings
also ease of use is subjective, through time we build habits and behaviours so switching them would lead to a steep learning curve. I found more people not wanting to move back from an iphone to an android for the straight forward experience vs friend who would move back to an android from an iphone. Ease of use is more personal i feel.

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"
Thanks for the vid bro. Was really helpful
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
@@rexincognito6090facts! I bought my mom an iPhone and at that time she didn’t even like the home button. 😅
The most basic feature I miss the most from Android on my iPhone is being able to change the volume for media vs phone ringing vs text, etc. It being all one volume bar on the iphone is bonkers to me. You're listening to music that was mixed low at a comfortable volume and then a text comes in that deafens you. The runner up feature I miss is having letters, numbers and symbols on one keyboard face (iPhone keyboard is STILL trash after over a year of having this thing. Thought I'd forget how it used to be...). I hope Apple changes these things, but more likely I'm going to stop caring about imessage group texts/facetime and go back to Android (for these reasons and the rest in the video).
The keyboard is probably the main factor stopping me switching.
Google do a keyboard for iOS, but when I looked into it, they track keystrokes(or used to).
And they don't do the same thing on Android? Yeah, right. That entire OS exists for that purpose.
Really?! I've just ordered an iPhone as I broke my pixel and thought I'd try it out, why wouldn't they separate volume controls?? That's like having to have my TV set to the same volume as my doorbell!!!
@@nakkaduthey are separated, idk what that guy is smoking but ring volume and media have been separated since forever lmao.
@@nakkadu Yeah it's trash. It's forced me to mostly leave my phone on vibrate so the volume control is 'just for media'
I'd argue that sideloading should've been mentioned in the apps section. Generally agree with the observations made, but there's so much that's not available on vanilla non-jailbroken non-circumvented iOS, like: emulators, youtube (re)vanced, de-listed apps/games, etc
Well, I think this comparison was made from a general consumer's perspective and not a power user. Because if we go that route then, almost all categories (except ecosystem and ease of use) will go to android as stuff like custom roms and sideloading exist.
Apple paid reviewer😂😂😂
@@codex2621 Don't some people in the general consumer use apps from different countries? How would you go about installing banking apps from different countries if you have accounts overseas? Signing out of iCloud entirely and deleting data, switching to another iCloud, all just to install a secure app is dumb imo. Why are apps all region locked? It doesn't make sense. I just switched to an iPhone and it is pretty annoying in some ways.
@@codex2621 you don't need to root your android to use emulators and 3rd party apps 🤣
they just scraped chat gpt for this review, no depth
will never get enough of your consistent three phrase sign-off Marques🔥🔥
Every year we have this kind of videos, but this year, the last section was GOLD. gold in terms of visualization and the commentary from Marques. Quality content, as usual.
On another note. I always look your videos on a 4k panel, but the crispness and the lighting of this video was superb. Thanks
Even when Marques does a video that others have done thousands of times, he gives an unique twist that makes his content unique and much above average. Marques and his team deserve all the compliments they receive.
Agreed. No one can say "iOS is the BEST for YOU!" "Android is the BEST for YOU!" Even if someone did say that, everyone will be in an uproar talking about "How is he going to say what's best for ME". As was said, and why I agreed with your assessment, is it's up to the end user and what each one prioritizes. 👌
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.
11:40 I can't believe you've given the app crown to iPhone. 😮
*THE INTERNET HAS SO MANY MORE APPS FOR ANDROID USERS!*
Fr iphone doesn't have the legendary game bombsquad
I love the ending - everyone is a winner when the competition fight for us.
Nice review :) Just one point as to why companies prefer to develop mainly for ios: I worked as an app developer for quite some years and it was always because of the revenue. Even with the same amount of people on both platforms, the revenue on ios is usually higher, since people owning iphones tend to spend more money on good quality apps. And one of the most annoying thing to develop around was always the apple notch, not only the android aspect ratio.
Is it easier to build apps for an ecosystem that's closed(Apple) compared to one that's open system like Android? Maybe that's the reason ios is the go-to first for developers 🤔
Are there more Apple users compared to Android users?🤔
No, both platforms are really developer friendly, what decides the developer experience is if you build native apps or use cross platform frameworks.@@sambell3103
much more android users but apple users are richer on the avg or spend more on apps.@@sambell3103
The notch is also one of the main features in iPhones, not because of the notch itself, but because of what lies behind. Which, along with the available computing power, brings seamless 3D face ID even in the dark.
The discussion by itself already moves a lot of people, but the level of production in this video it's mesmerizing. Loved the way of scoring on its own!
Excellent breakdown. I like the idea of weighing options based on personal needs,
I suggest adding price as a category ( Maybe that's a feature )
For example for about $300 on sale, I can get an Android phone with good speed, 8 GB Ram and the ability for up to 256 GB internal & 512GB of SD space
Not close to an option on iPhones
Android is also much more inter-operable
New category: Having an Iphone 😂 ppl think u rich having an iphone XR/11 in 2023
Apple phones tend to retain value better than android because the demand is higher, so if you upgrade every once and a while, you can trade in the phone for $600+
Whilst that seems good on paper, there’s more to using a phone then just simple specs. I’ve found a lot of those cheaper android phones a pretty crappy experience in comparison to higher android phones and iPhones. There are also areas where they cut back such as the camera, screen, build quality, standby battery etc.
But if money is a problem then you can get some pretty good deals, that’s true.
@@makasete30I hear you but with android, you can actually buy flag ship phones with little compromises for cheap. As long as you aren't buying the very latest version.
@@jesseruks That's kindof just a repeat of the support/update category, and also misses the point that you wouldn't need to sell the phone for such a high cost if you never spent half that in the first place.
Thank you for having an honest discussion. I just came from a jerryrig video where he spent 100 days with an iPhone and it seemed like he was biased from the start.
My one gripe is you sold short the concept of ecosystem in Android. It's an open ecosystem that allows you to jump from brand to brand and to combine brands between products (like phone, watch, tablet, PC etc) and even services/websites. I have a gmail account that follows me everywhere and simplifies my life so much. The idea of being locked in to IOS/MacOS will always be the biggest deal-breaker for me.
This fact also makes it super easy to use multiple phones. When I upgrade to a new phone, I'll usually keep my last one and still use it every now and then for a year or so. It's super easy to do, even if they are different manufacturers, since they basically work the same and the accounts/services are the same. There's be no reason to keep using your last iPhone since they really aren't any different.
Yeah, ecosystem is a great thing, but not when a company uses their ecosystem to try to force you to use their products. I'll take freedom every time over an ecosystem that does everything else better.
I wouldn't necessarily mind being in a closed eco-system, but Apple is just ridiculously overpriced. I've bought my Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite for 240 € three years ago and still like it, especially regarding performance, battery-life, OLED-display and camera-quality. This thing has a 5260 mAh battery while the iPhone 15 Pro has almost 2k less, but would cost me 1200 €. And a three year old iPhone 12 Pro is still 3x the price today, but lost more value than I've paid for the phone.
@@Pulseczar1 The is want the ecosystem is supposed to do. Draw you into using their products.
@@Redridge07 An ecosystem should not make someone feel forced to only use products by one company. Apple creates that entrapment by making almost everything they make so that it only gets along with other Apple products. For example, want an Apple watch? You have to have an iPhone to use it. Want to use iMessages or talk to others that use iMessages and use the latest texting technology? You have to use an iPhone, because Apple won't allow things to work nicely without the iPhone. It's a way to control people and not play fairly. If you don't mind companies controlling you, that's up to you. I buy devices so that I can control them, not so that they can control me.
So well done. I watch these vids to keep myself in the know so I don’t slip back to the stone age. Latest and greatest tech isn’t my thing but dang these vids are so well done!
The big thing you are missing with apps is the ease of side loading apps on android. That on its own puts it miles ahead of the locked down apple environment.
bought samsung note 9 new from samsung. never updated from 2019. work perfectly to the date. not planning to update ever.
use of antivirus and a blocker that block any apps that I not using currently makes me and my phone happy.
It's amazing how much this tech has evolved. My first "smartphone" was a Palm Treo...and then a BlackBerry...and then a number of Android devices (OG Moto Droid, Nexus and Pixel devices). Ive also had a couple of iPhones. While a lot of the hardware and software features have become pretty even, in comparison, i like my home screen set up a certain way..that can't be done on an iPhone.
I miss the BlackBerry days just for that awesome keyboard. Besides being faster it's just so satisfying. A Google Pixel with a BB keyboard I would throw $2,000 at it
Dude, you guys are awesome. I mean, y'all simplified this topic so well that fan boys might even dislike you guys for this 😂😂😂. Definitely sharing this on my social media platforms.
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
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 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.
