- Why I left Android is an interesting story that involves the Galaxy Note 10 plus, the iPhone XS and the iPhone 11 Pro Max. I want to explain why someone like me who has used Android since the beginning would switch to an iPhone.

You've echoed my thoughts on brand loyalty! Spot on!
Many people come out for or against my reviews / comments on these devices. I figure that since I own a Note 10 and many others before and also an Iphone 11 pro and many iPhones before that; I am qualified in my own little way to review these devices in the way I deem fit. I am not loyal to any brand. As much as possible I will even stay away from brand exposing shirts. I don't see why I have to pay to advertise for these companies.
A certain German car marque advertises that you have arrived when you own their cars. I say, "when I have arrived, I may choose their car. Therefore, they have to feel honored that I have chosen them".
I think it is good that you are bringing the idea of brand loyalty to a correct viewpoint.
Hope to expand more of this with you.

Am totally with you but I guess our kind is so rare..!? 😉
I did the exact opposite loyal apple customer since the 1st iPhone just got bored with Apple refusing to change their phones but a bigger price every year... galaxy s20 fan now
I agree👍
Did the same thing. Switched to the S20 Ultra and not looking back. Still have an iPhone but it is collecting dust right now. Samsung provides security updates for 4 years. That is what matters. The s8 still works the same with more features than the iPhone 11. It's a matter of personal preference
I did the exact same thing. I just got bored with IOS which I've used since the 3GS. I have the Note 10+ now and I'm really enjoying this phone. I do miss faceid and imessage every know and then but not enough for me to go back full time to an iphone.
@@ngartola definitely a personal preference I'll never say never that I will get an iPhone again they just have to step up and make it worth my money again
@@pr1me_78 imessage I definitely miss but apple has to step it up for me to come back to the eco system
While I can appreciate the support and simplicity of ios, I could never see myself switching due to the amount of limitations and smaller touches that android(Samsung specifically) nails down. Things like Samsung pay, getting a call that doesn't take up your entire screen and disrupts what you're doing, PIP for RUclips, Twitch, etc., notification icons, an actual universal "back" command, customizability and so much more!
I could never leave all that and to me, it's worth the trade off because I upgrade every 2-3 years anyway so OS updates aren't a big deal for me.
Yes.
WAYYY TOO MANY limitations
& way overpriced apps
(as compared to Android).
>>>
Exactly!!!! Everything you said is SPOT on as to why I choose Android(Note 10 plus). Yeah I honestly do also like the IPad and wish Samsung Note Flex would step to that level so the integration would lead me from an IPad! Apple just has a lot of quirks to the iPhone I don't like and many sales sucker ploys that make them the actual pimp!
Flash363 I think the same works in both ways. Leaving Airdrop, iMessages, iCloud Match, Apple Watch, using a remote on your phone or your watch for the Apple TV, integration with Macs and iPads, FaceTime, etc is not worth the good things that Android offers in my case. Also, iOS is more stable, consistent and you don’t have to be wondering every day which of all your widgets is draining the battery.
@@Real_American_DAD ahhh, that's one thing I wouldn't know of, I had a 6S that I bought for review purposes but never really used it as my main device. Interesting, I can definitely see how they'd be more than able to charge more for certain apps
@@Flash363 I'd have no problem buying an iPhone but "honestly"
> just about EVERY i-phone app
is more expensive
than its android counterpart
(& also, some
"free" android apps
are "pay" apps on IOS.)
...
But, dont take my word for it.
You can compare apps & you'll see the difference.
...
NOTE:
I'm not ANTI-i-phone.
I'm just used to customizing SOO MANY THINGS on Android
... which isn't possible on IOS.
People who are deep in brand loyalty are tech simps.
Hersey Berry and Samsung users
@Hersey Berry and Samsung users
@@diegoryna eh samsung users can easily switch to other Android devices
Pig God that’s not true, Samsung fanboys love Samsung.
Your loyalty speech was spot on. I can't believe how people fight over android v apple all the time, and get but hurt by the slightest criticism.
Wise words! Two different philosophies. Customisation Vs reliability(just works). Go Travis!! Right after this!! 💪🏼
I’m glad when you said that android fans should not get annoyed / offended, if you disagree with some things about android.
I always believed it’s perfectly okay to have different opinions, even if you disagree with someone. As long as you don’t hurt the other person, or force them to agree with you etc. Then all is fine.
And I reckon that’s why it may trigger some people: the bad experiences with the loud mouths, the trolls, the “shut up, I’m always right” folks. Well....that’s some people. But some can talk, even disagree, but still be civilized. And you are one of them.
Heck even as an iphone user since the iPhone 4, I won’t lie we have some faults within Apple. They almost an inside joke with apple fans too 😂 but again it’s civilized if with someone like you, never any fight or argument or debate. I’m glad we can talk so calmly whether in the comments, or live chat in the podcast shows :)
This is the best video I've heard on the update issue with Android. They need some kind of industry consortium that controls the updates. But that will require Google to give up some control. I noticed that Google worked with Samsung on Android 12. Maybe something is in the works.
The update issue is the primary reason I don't/won't jump to Android.
Travis, you sure do change your mind quickly. I just finished watching two of your videos. The first one was from 2019 in which you gave reasons to switch from iPhone to Samsung s10.
In it you gushed about the ability to customize and about how unbeatable Samsung pay is. You said it was great because you could use it anywhere there's a card reader. Said you had been using it for four years and loved it.
Immediately after watching that video I hear you saying in this one that customizing is overrated and that you're more interested in having a fixed system that works well. Then you said there wasn't much use in Samsung pay because you rarely used it and didn't want to go through the hassle of convincing cashiers that it would work. Thanks a lot for the advice.
You got valid points there. I use androids for a decade now and I'm seriously thinking about switching.
I agree with Travis, I hated when my Samsung would update. the updates would usually mess everything up, it took such a long time, and it made me mad when it changed my whole lay out on my phone. Great video, explained very well.
I mostly agree with you Travis, but I have one correction. Samsung gives 4 years of security updates. My Samsung Galaxy S8 has got monthly security updates for 3 years and will get a further year of quarterly security updates #RIPOneplus
actually samsung stopped monthly updates for the s8 last week! only security updates every 3-6 months from now on and no further android updates!
T3CHGY007 that’s what they just said...
I completely understand your statements and actually agree with most. However... The ONE thing that I cannot stand about the iPhone is Siri. I use the Google Assistant multiple times everyday. In the car to listen to and respond to messages, get directions, find a place to eat and who delivers food in today's pandemic world. I tried Siri once. ONCE. Nope...never switching to an iPhone unless Siri matures into something less aggravating. Loved the iMessage and FaceTime also, but hardly used it over, "Hey Google...Duo call Dan and message Mary that I'll be late." Yeah...Google and RCS messaging has finally arrived. Good video Travis. Always food for thought. I will stay with your channel to see which phone or feature brings you back. Stay healthy.
I been finding myself using Samsung pay everywhere lately but I like ios also.
apple pay supports more cards than samsung pay where i'm from.
@@eagleeyez1 I'm not debating which is better. I have a note 10+, and an iPhone 11 pro max. They both support the cards i use. They're both awesome.
I’m more on the side of celebrating that we can use our phones as credit/debit cards
@@Randomgirlkae I'm in the same boat. I enjoy them both.
@@eagleeyez1 it's the other way around for me. Samsung pay it's accepted in more places as well because of the MST technology.
I am following the same path you are. I have been on Android since the HTC EVO. I have had Samsung phones from the Notes 4, 5,, 8, 9, with the S7 Edge in the middle, Pixel 3A and LG G8. I am simply bored with Android. I am moving to an iPhone for a while. But every point you made is the exact same reasons I am switching.
Here in Manila, Samsung stores outnumber Apple stores by at least 3 is to one. But you are 100% right about how lousy the updates are on Android.
one of the major reasons why i switched from android to iOS - Updates. and yea unless you have a pixel, you wait months and months for the latest update and even that gets outdated by the time you get it because a new one is already out and yet waited so long for the previous one. ive been with iOS for 3 years now and i do agree with the points you have made. it would take the right change to jump back to android but alot of my friends and collegues are with iOS so it would be tough to do so
Couldn't agree more. Android oems need to take more control of updates. The May update for the S20 with camera fixes has been out for a week and only the unlocked versions in the states have received it. The longterm software support is a nice gesture, but they aren't guaranteed. They can change how long to support them whenever they choose. After that 1 year warranty expires, it's a roll of the dice.
RUclips should pin this as the quintessential instructional video on phone purchases.
I agree with update issue. Sure, I have a pixel. But when I had other phones, it took forever to get the update coming.
Also totally agree with the updates, Apple updates are exciting, even when you get the Android update it doesn't tell you what it does.
I know you said that finding Samsung afterservice in the states is truly like finding Bigfoot, however here in Soith Korea it is completely opposite 😅. Apple stores are few and far between.
Well done. I shelved my Android for an iPhone because my devices all work together. Don’t have time to play anymore and I like that my iPhone just works. Love the Samsung and the Dex, but I am good with iOS for now.
4:10 is such an important point in this discussion. As an app developer who builds multi platform mobile apps, app development for IOS is far easier than app development for Android. The key reason for this is the pool of devices and screen sizes for Android is much much larger than for IOS. At any given time, your only accounting for a handful of screen sizes for IOS as well as only a handful of OS versions since iPhones get supported for at least 5 years whereas Android is at least 2 years. The OS adoption rate is also much higher for IOS than for Android. Not only that, every Android manufacturer has their own fork of Android which makes the pool of OS versions even more complicated. This results in much more well tested and optimized apps for IOS than there Android counterparts. I know a lot of people love their customization freedom with Android but that ecosystem naturally breeds incomplete and often buggy software.
Another BAnger- Nice one travis.. loving your commentary.
I think these days, you can go with any flagship phone.. I used to a bit more strongly feeling about my iphones, especially in the iPhone 5 and 6 days, but ever since they’re all bezel-less it’s all down to preference
Agree 100% ... I switched to iPhone 11 due to the exact same reasons. I'm astonished by battery life and my mind is now at ease knowing that I don't have to worry about waiting for updates to get cool stuff.
Note: The apps on iOS are miles better than Android and the overall experience is way better IMHO.
Well, I never used IOS on Instagram 😂 and I bet, you didn't too 😉 Just a mixup that made me laugh.
Nice Video on common sense. As usual, Travis 😊
Oh, and yes, the Android Update System is a tragedy
Totally get what you're saying. I was an apple guy for a while but to me it was more of... I hate giving money to a company that LITERALLY gives you the bare minimum in terms of perks AND technology and charge thru the roof. IE fast Charging, wireless charging, customization , memory expansion etc. I know a few of those things they've implemented as of late but it took them FOREVER!!!! I want more bang for my buck but definitely get your point. To each their own
Travis, the Android software update issues are of a business nature not of a technical one.
Samsung is a separate company from Google, it has its own separate business and production schedules with its own software department that has its own schedules tied to Samsung not to Google.
It also takes time to integrate and implement the newly released android version into the Samsung UI, these things take weeks at the very least.
That's just the nature of the beast, and it won't change any time soon.
Also apple has a very limited selection of devices it has total control over.
The most similar experience on android is of course the Google pixel.
Where is the video about you side loading gcamera on the TCL? I know TCL is hitting the budget market but im skeptical about the os and processors they chose. I'd like to see reviews on it but not much to be found yet
I feel you when you said brand loyalty. I have that with Samsung. Been buying since galaxy s1 and switching every year. But with this s20 ultra was enough for me to start thinking of ios. The camera on the ultra is worst then on s10 and note 10+
I also prefer inferior phones
Great profile name 😆
I agree with you on the updates, Especially LG they take forever, my G7 is scheduled to get android 10, just before the release of version 11 and that's just terrible. Samsung, Sony and Oneplus are the the only companies that update faster aside from the pixel of course.
This video literally sums up EVERY SINGLE REASON and thought i had when i jumped from 8 years of Android to iOS, especially about just the basic level functionality, reliability and updates. Dudes ive owned most galaxy and note phones, great phones. BUT getting shafted with a exynos soc, and NO updates whatsoever really. I had enough, the fact i couldn't ever get my Samsung phones and accessories repaired at a Samsung store, HELL NO ! Apple is so well rounded, the customer support, superior hardware and build quality, FAR superior accessories, 5 years of os updates. Im sold and i aint ever coming back. Got airpod pros, watch,macbook air and ipad pro since! Why ? BECAUSE IT JUST WORKS and its work so FREAKING well !! Every problem i had was instantly resolved over the phone or within a few days in store. You cant beat that and what it brings to the table for the consumer. You should also have mentioned travis that Qualcomm is a huge part of the reason android devices barely see os updates, they refuse to support it on their chips. Ask Brandon hell clarify better.
At this point I feel like I need both for different situations.
Super phone!
I like both Apple and Android ( Samsung Specifically) but Samsung is my weapon of choice. Just so much packed into the device. I couldn't give up Samsung Pay ( You can use it anywhere you can swipe a card ) Dex.....Split screen multitasking......outside source app downloading....and the beautiful screen. The Apple side has its Proz and Conz. Quick Share is just like Airdrop.......I transferred numerous videos from my S10+ to my Tab S6 yesterday with ease. Good video!
I've not owned a OnePlus but they seem to be pretty good about prompt updates. But I don't know for how long.
I feel the same way. I'm a long time samsung fan and I've kind of gotten bored with my s21 ultra even though I think it's a great phone so I'm really wanting to take advantage of early upgrade and get an iPhone 13 pro max. I'm just extremely cautious.
Must apps on my 11 pro open with Face ID, but apps on my S9 only opens with Touch ID.
There's a huge slider in life that has First To Update at one end and Not A Pixel at the other
Nice video. I also know both systems, Android and iOS, and there's one thing that always brings me back to Apple and that's the amazing ecosystem. There's nothing better on the market and I also tried Samsung and google's ecosystem, too. Especially now in times of home office, I enjoy Apple's ecosystem a lot. It just works. You needn't think about it or fight with it. That's a huge easement when you just have to do your job and you needn't think about tech that doesn't work. :)
So later this week he's going to post a video saying, I was wrong. I'm back to Android.
I think the phone support is a big thing. I feel that anyone that says "UpDaTeS dOn'T mAtTeR" don't understand how important they are to the phone operating longer.
Totally agree about the iphone doing the 80% that you need just better. Ive been using oneplus for the last 4 or 5 years, and while google assistant is better, and the customization is great on android, i dont really use the “extra” features that android has long term. I just want a good battery, good screen, good software support, and i want it to just work when i need it to work without needing to restart or clear caches. Especially since i use an iPad Pro/magic keyboard combo as my main computer these days, airdrop and iMessage are just too good to go without now.
For me I’m a long time iOS user and decided to give android a try. I found it very slow and laggy and I hated google play store for apps. The one thing I loved was the actual hardware. The ability to add in extra memory etc. That’s nowhere near enough for me to switch so I went back to an iPhone. They aren’t perfect god knows and do have limitations but I’ve worked around that over my time. Regular updates, Apple Pay, Imessage, airdrop etc are only a few of the reasons. It suits my needs as I have other Apple devices and integration with those is virtually seamless.
Hi Travis awesome video thanks 👍👏everything you said makes total sense 👏 👍❣
You put you finger directly on the problem, I have a s9+ that cost me 1000 € to get only two years of support. This is ridiculous and unacceptable. I think it's time to move to the other side after 10 years with Android (Samsung Spica😄). This is really sad to me to say goodbye Samsung
I understand completely that you wanted a different environment, nothing wrong with that.
You said most of what I also felt.... although it never seemed important enough to me to explain it to anyone. It is a little ironic that Apple customers are accused of being “fan boys”.... android users seem perpetually upset about something having to do with Apple....when it seems that Apple users are content to let android go where it will.
Btw, the difference in support is probably one reason that there is a vibrant market for old iPhones but not androids. I bought my wife an iPhone 7plus last year and despite its age, it works fine, and I cannot imagine the time or reality where it will be insufficient for her needs... or that it will stop functions because of failing Apple support. And, if I may say so, there is absolutely zero android customization capability that she envies
Brand loyalty is pointless to me. I've used the iPhone 5s and it was kinda boring & very restricted as far as ecosystem at the time. And I've been with Samsung since the Galaxy sidekick slide up phone to my current Galaxy S20 FE 5G phone. Both have their pros and cons, but at the end of the day, their just phones to text, call & use social media on. That's all.
My biggest issue with Android is SMS and app optimization. SMS is AWFUL and RCS is a step in the right direction but iMessage is king for sure. And then app optimization, I am a big social media user and all the big social media apps, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat for me, are just so miles better on my iPhone than they are on my android devices that it keeps me stuck with iOS (that and I’m pretty heavily invested in Apple’s ecosystem and it works so well that I feel spoiled)
Love ya, Travis even if One Plus doesn't!! #RIPOnePlus 🤗✌🏻💜😁 Tish
I have a LG G6 and was told it would get upgraded OS. Still waiting.
Great video Travis! I agree with everything you said!
Hi Travis, I haven't written anything in your comments to videos for some time, but here is my clear opinion. I like android because 70% of my friends use the google operating system. In relation to the updates, it is a fact that you say, they are late and of short duration, but there is already a solution, there are some programmers who still create updated operating systems for a specific device with some years. I still use the OP 5T with the official Rom, but if it doesn't arrive, I already have an alternative and with updated Android 10. In system updates and maintenance, apple is still the champion. A hug from the city of Porto, Portugal, stay safe. Cheers.
Be safe!
Apple’s eco system is second to none. I’m a long time Windows/Android user but I can’t deny that when it comes to having your devices seamlessly work with each other (desktop/laptop/tablet/phone, etc) no one does it better than Apple. Windows doesn’t work with Android as well as MacOS works with iOS and probably never will. It’s not even close
There are things I like about my S9 better than my 11 pro, like the 1440p AMOLED display, but overall, the camera and battery life on the pr, tips the balance every time.
I've seen where everyone is saying the i phone 11 pro max has the best battery. But thats not actually true. I've been seeing a lot of real day use battery test. One was using the iPhone pro max, oneplus 8 pro, galaxy ultra, and they all were litterly seconds apart. The oneplus was first, the Apple and galaxy were second and 3rd with 1 second separating the 2.
👋🏽😃Hey Travis...I hope all is well and keep safe.😉
I remember there were Samsung stores within Best Buy...near the smartphone section of the store...but...they were short lived...and...in my experience...the person working the Samsung store stand...wasn’t all that proficient or very knowledgeable on Samsung smartphones and wearables... ...I discovered this with the first generation of Samsung Ear Buds...the IConX...I enjoyed the buds...however...I used them on a iPhone...6s at the time...so with that said...when the buds would fail...I thought it was some compatibility issue...and would go to the Samsung Store stand looking for guidance in the matter...and they never knew what the problem was...so then...the second generation of Galaxy Buds came out...and I gave them a chance...and they too failed...but...by then the Samsung Store stand was gone...I even communicated with Samsung directly...and they couldn’t even point me in the right direction...but a-last...I did try led again with the third generation...and have enjoyed them with no problems... ...but...Samsung dumbed them down in order to get them to work right...no on board activity coach...no heart rate monitor...and no on board memory for music downloads... ...then what really burned my buns with Samsung...is...not even a year later...Samsung come out with the Galaxy Buds+...that is compatible with iOS in every way... ...so I communicated with Samsung to see if there was a firmware update for the Galaxy Buds...be it that they weren’t even a year old...NOPE!...one would have to kick out another $150.°° dollars for a new pare of buds...to get the iOS compatibility... ...mind you...there was no heads up...that Buds+ was even in the pipeline...if so...I would have waited... ...so yeah...Samsung can kick 🦵🏽 rocks.🤨😠🤨
P.S.
The Samsung techs at the Samsung Store stands in Best Buy...all had iPhones...😂🤣😂
#RIPOnePlus from a 3T, saving for the 7T. For a power user, knowing that GCam and rooting may enhance your device is key. I still get monthly updates for my 3T from 2016 thanks to a custom ROM. 400$ (barely used) for 4 years is not bad. I might have to change the battery though
That's why I only buy Pixel. Yes they are behind on tech but the updates & patches come ASAP when they are announced. As I always say...Samsung would kill the game if they had the same support like apple phones & stopped making so damn many phones. I'm not paying 1200 for a phone then after 2 years I can't have the latest and greatest software. SD is more than able to handle 4+ years of software as pixel phones can
Samsung repair stores do exist. I had repaired my note 9 broken screen. No complains, and i live in a island in midlle of the atlantic ocean... still ip 68 with a document signed from the repair shop.
Pedro Silveira 🍪
I had the G1 from T-Mobile also. And been with Samsung since galaxy s2 all the way up to galaxy s9 and note 9 and my friend gave me a iPhone XS Max brand new and I’m loving it. I miss andriod but I love iPhone for social media its amazing
While I totally agree with you on 90% of what you said and most importantly we need to hold these OEMS to a higher standard (I don't blame Google, they seem to update their Pixels just fine) Android's open source is the blessing and curse.
That said, I've been on Nexus, Pixel and OnePlus phones only since 2014 so I disagree about the updates.
By the way I've owned 5 Samsung phones, so amen to what you said, that's why I haven't bought a Samsung phone in YEARS
Literally the worst thing about android is fragmentation. Unless you have a pixel, updates take forever. And then you just never know how long your phone will be supported for. I've been holding my breathe for android for the past few years but I'm getting tired of my dreams getting smashed every year lol.
Brand loyalty is ridiculous, choose whatever you want. Your life is a way more than just a phone
Samsung/Android for phone
iPad for tablet
I want the best of both worlds ❤
The best thing about iPhones is that you can get a decent screen protector easily for them.
Travis have you thought about trying out a Pixel 2 or 3 from amazon renewed? Thanks!
people have asked, maybe so!
Until Apple does split screen android will always be a contender
It's was actually your video on brand loyalty that actually made me switch to apple and its ecosystem. I'd been a samsung/android fan and an apple hater for like ever.. and now I really don't care. Both OS'S are great in their own way. But now I'm on the Apple bandwagon and I'm not going back. 👊🏼
It's the business model. Samsung only makes money while selling a device. So they have to frequently sell devices. Apple gets money through the AppStore, iCloud, AppleMusic, iTunes, Books, ApplePay and so on from the existing customer base. So Apple is able to afford customers using their devices far longer. That's only possible with the integrated ecosystem.
Can someone tell me what makes iMessage better/different from Android messaging apps? know they don't work well together in standard group chats but my friends and family all just use the GroupMe app anyway
We'll I'm not living in the states and i get my updates everytime it's out and this is the 8th time I'm updating my phone since when i bought it on October 2019....and it's a budget Samsung phone 👍
I have the Galaxy Tab S5e, Android 11 is out and I still have android 9. This is embarrassing and is part of the reason I'm moving to iOS.
I finally realized Android was Crap after 6 years with two devices Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, it takes a long time to receive updates and apps would either Crush or stop working for unexpected reason on both Samsung devices it’s completely insane how Mobile Companies uses features to court they’re user base.
The Pixel is equivalent the the iPhone, but consumers just don't want them. The thing is, they're spoilt for choice and looks. Maybe if Google offers up to 3 or 4 years of updates, it would be enticing. Google also need to build a great ecosystem and integration that works just as great as Apple's, cause that's one thing Apple has on lock.
But, now this isn't an excuse, but the average consumer don't care about updates. I know people, that updates are available for their phone, and they don't even bother to install them. They don't care. Apple forces updates on consumers, so much so that their device wouldn't move past the update screen. I've seen it personally, there's only so many times you can delay an update.
I could never go to IOS. I just camt stand it . I will give you the updates thing, but they also update your phone to slow down the processor to save battery. I just started using WiFi direct. It's amazing fast. I just hope you're happy on whatever device. I am just happier on android.
The batter life is amazing on the IPHONE 11 pro max !
The ONE! thing that I DON'T! like about android is the video messaging! I have a Note 9 that is my main phone and I have a IPhone 5s which is still getting IOS updates! that is my side phone. If I send a video message to someone with another android phone that video may or may not go to there phone nice & clear when they receive it, and if its over 30 seconds or over a minute long I either wont be able to send it or I will have to reduce the size of the video file to send it. My IPhone 5s that STILL GETS UPDATES! I can send a video message that is over a minute long to someone else who has a IPhone & they receive my video the exact same way that I sent it... crystal clear. So I might just try that midnight IPhone 12 Pro Max later on this year as my main phone.
Google works for me, specifically Pixels. I don't wait on updates, and I love stock, so it works for me. IOS never interested me, but that's just me
Their support in apple store where you would better go buy new phone than repair and updates that will slow down your device so you will upgrade sooner. You are stuck with what they will give you and have nothing to say what you actually want. Apps are optimized cause so many ppl just not care and pick iphone cause "it just works" so devs have to adapt to get more profits. For me it is just paying for not caring, if you have money and literally not want to think about your device just use it it is ok choice but in any other way it is just too overpriced for what you get.
The Only thing I find on my iPhone is Facebook to be buggy at times than it is on Android. I will say since going back to iOS it is a functional straight to the point phone which I like, and in fact missed as the last time I used an iPhone was in 2010 with the iPhone 3GS. The thing is Android is no better than iOS but its the skin on Android plus extras that make it different with some features I will never use this is why I got the Note 10 Lite. When I swapped sims I already missed my iPhone. iMessage...what can I say is the best. Android needs it. My friend who I occasionally chat with was like "you're on your galaxy today huh?"...like yeah I know. This is why with Android I decided not to ever buy a flagship or $1000+ android phone. However ,when the iPhone 12 Pro Max XL Super edition comes out that will be the phone I buy.
What about Moto g8 power that gets 10 hours. I get 9 hrs sot on my pixel 3a xl and I get updates all the time.
Facts on the Android updates.
The people that get upset by this video missed the whole point. He said at the moment IOS and iPhone is right for HIM. That doesn't mean it is right for you. We all have our own opinion and are entitled to it without ramming it down other's throats. Just one point, Android may give security updates beyond the two years but that in not the same as a totally new OS update for at least 5 years. My wife has a 2015 iPhone 6s Plus and it got IOS 13 and the guys that leak that sort of thing say it will get IOS 14. That's 6 years. Maybe it won't, we will see but 5 years is great and that phone runs as fast as the day it was bought.
Yes! The only thing I sometimes use is split screen
Travis, you should use that intro song as an actual intro song instead of talking a little first. I think it would brainwash people in the right way, kind of a funky tune, my brother
Why commit to one if you can have both? I like both experiences, I'm not going to say Android because it's too extensive, I'll say Samsung is great! I love One UI, displays are beautiful and packs way more awesome tech than an iPhone, on the other side iPhone are great and I love how the apps are optimized for iOS. An example, WhatsApp ... I use it a lot but when I want to make a call on Android, I have to open the app, going to whoever I want to call, open the chat, and then hit the call button; on iOS you can call people through WhatsApp in the contacts app directly and it will use the regular phone app to make the call and the calls are shown in the recent call log and that's pretty amazing to me because I use WhatsApp a lot. When it's my time to do my yearly switch I have the choice to choose whoever I want, switching it's way easier now, you can switch everything between iOS and Android super easy, even calendar and accounts. At the end of the day you choose what fits you and your lifestyle. If someone wants to criticize the phone I'm using they can buy me a new phone and I will gladly use it, but if I buy my phone and it's the one I want with my own money then shut up and store your thongue in a case and shove it up far away 😅.
On software updates - you're making it sound way worse than it is. Android is open source and so it's never gonna be as smooth a process as with a walled garden operating system.
Most Android phones from reputable companies get 2 Android OS updates meaning you will have an up to date phone for at least 3 years.
After that your phone doesn't suddenly stop working. It does everything it's always done and your apps are still updated through Google Play services. Under a manufacturer skin I bet most people couldn't even tell the difference between Android versions. It's really not a big deal!
Also I've seen iPhones and iPads slow down considerably when updated to the latest version of their OS and so their phone performs noticeably worse.
As for apps being better on iOS - that is very rare and some apps are better on Android especially Google one's.
American tech reviewers are so biased to iOS maybe because it's an American company but most of the points you made here I think are totally exaggerated. And how about all the restrictions you face on an iPhone from limited storage space to a total lack of customisation - imagine having to look at the same boring row of app icons with very limited widget support and messey notifications and let's not forget the hideous iTunes.
You can keep your iPhone thank you
It's preference for him I guess. In my opinion I can't stand iOS and it's limitations. It has it's benefits. But the whole updates spiel is hit and miss in the sense that iOS updates tend to ruin the experience of the phone later in its life cycle and most people usually upgrade their phones every 2-3 years.
Also iOS updates don't really bring mind blowing changes that you haven't already seen on Android, that's why I can never see myself switching because I have owned one before and I couldn't live with the few inconveniences iOS brought on me. Maybe iPads are the exception but apple's phones are just waaaaaay to basic and boring for me. But I guess it's an American thing
@@JayTechZM Agreed 👍
Tried iPhone 7 on 2019 (just want to use IOS). It turns out IOS is not just for me
Annoyed with navigation system. In FB alone have few different way to navigate 'back'
Can't download video freely from internet browser and manage them locally in the phone (no system file manager)
I can't multiple copy text and do multiple paste simultaneously for my work report message
The apps I used (especially apk Wallet) turned out to be rip off in IOS, need to pay more.... but free full freature in android.
I can't download what ever song file I want and set whatever song file as my ringtone or notification sound
My work environment are 100% windows PC. Just so much easy when use Android to connect with windows
The most annoying part is that you already spend too much money on the phone, and yet you'll find yourself in a situation where you need to pay more for the service you using in the phone. Which is annoying. Such as iCloud and other apple service.
And can someone tell me why I need to use wifi to download large apps when I have unlimited internet Telco plan 🤷
Just bought the s20. Never owned an iPhone. But was really considering it. And they have made android so hard to customize. I can't even put different sound on different things. And I have had android since the first HTC. Menus buried so deep in the operating system you can't find them. You might laugh. I might be getting to old. But how about a little simplistiy. Updates, I get it.
But I really don't care about the latest Android update. They just keep making it harder to use.
Can you put a link to the g cam APK ?
Yeah you are right about android apple does beat it at almost every level except for customization I love my Samsung but this summer I”m going to give apple a try with their iPhone 12 or rather this fall it will be my very first iphone
What the point of update if cant improve or give you new features? If you mean improve performance samsung give you 3years improve performance my s8+ now work like my s10 and still s8 will get 5 years of security update
I mean i dont make fun of ios update but pls if you talk about that can you tell us what the advantages?
If you mean smooth or somthing s7 and iphone 7 still work smoothly !
I'll be making the switch this fall to the 12 Pro Max.
Yo homie, welcome to the i side, we have cake 🎂 😁😉
If my phone or tablet break I'll take it to CPR (Cell Phone Repair) they have done right me, I had a S8 Plus that had the sim tray break off inside it when I was getting my new phone the S9 Plus. I decided to take it to CPR and have them fix it I ordered a new sim tray for it and got it back from them and gave it to my brother to upgrade his S6 Edge. Even if I had an iPhone or iPad I'd go to CPR for repairs as Apple has bad business practices check out Louis Rossman on RUclips and you will see the issues with Apple and their repair service.
Battery life for me and what I've experienced my Samsung devices have been getting better battery life than Apple's devices.
About updates I'd rather wait for them as they work out the bugs and we all know what day 1 updates can get you bugs major bugs, we all know what Apple's updates can bring word's that can brick your Apple device so yeah I'd rather wait for updates thanks. Number one don't say I'm wrong about my views on updates I can say that you're wrong about Apple but I'm not as it's your own decision on what you like and prefer so don't dare tell me my opinion for myself is wrong. What you said was close to if not on the very edge of being like a dictator which I dislike very much so don't tell I'm wrong on my views because you like day 1 updates.
Too many updates on a device is bad why well the hardware can't keep up with the newer software so I don't mind less major updates on my devices, nope I'm not part of any problem that's just your opinion not a fact. If you like the day 1 updates then fine you should aslo enjoy your groundbreaking bugs that can possibly come with them.
I looveee IOS. Everytime it’s the update time I get so excited to see new changes it’s like am getting a new iphone. You really need to know iOS very well to get something out of it, otherwise you’ll be bored
