    I paused the video at exactly 1 minute, because i just had to say this: This was the cleanest b-roll/intro I’ve ever seen, good job man!

    I've been an Apple user since the 1980s. Trust me when I say this. Do NOT under any circumstances store your media on Apple iCloud. Store YOUR media on a third-party cloud storage. If you don't this, it will make it nearly impossible to leave the walled garden without much pain or leaving YOUR media.
  • The only Reason i agree with is the UI Design and Fluidity. The Build quality of Flagship Androids is on par with new iPhones. iMessage is an US only problem. Images get sent over Wifi via Whatsapp to Androids too.

    That's cute. I have 45 reasons why iOS is 10 years behind Android in features, usability and utility: 1. Notifications. There isn't even a comparison. iOS notifications are horrendous, even Android notifications from 2012 are better than today's iOS notifications. 2. Apps. This is one of the biggest iOS flaws. App Store don't have variety of Apps, therefore, lots of relevant and quality apps are missing. When I switched to iOS, I missed about 20 essential apps that I used every week, and I couldn't find any alternative for them on the Apple Store, even in paid apps. For example, something so trivial like a MUSIC PLAYER APP, there's not ONE in iOS that is at least comparable with PowerAmp on Android, even in paid apps. 4. No real file manager. Unbelievable. This totally spoils the usage of the OS in so many ways. 3. No always-On Screen. iOS don't have this in 2023 while Android had it for so many years. 5. The iOS keyboard sucks, while Android's Gboard is actually pretty good. You can install third party keyboards on iOS, but the keyboad will still be almost equally bad because Apple forces third party keyboards to use the Apple's API. 6. Siri sucks so much. Google Assistant is extremely good, I'd say it's 10 years ahead of Siri. 7. Selecting text is really dumb and slow on iOS compared to Android. 8. No Sideloading apps. 9. Extremely poor customization and no third party launchers. 10. No system-wide adblocker. 11. No real browser like Kiwi on Android, that let's you install any desktop browser extensions. Safari is a joke, and again, Apple don't let you install a third party browser to surpass this issue, because all iOS browsers on App Store use Safari's API, so in reality no matter which browser you use, you are always running Safari. The exact same problem happens with third party keyboard, as I explained. 12. No possibility to set default apps. 13. No real and interactive widgets. It's true that iOS finally implemented widgets after 13 years that Android had it (lol) but it still doesn't come close to Android's widget, as iOS widgets aren't really interactive. 14. No universal back gesture. 15. No split screen/multitasking. 16. Can't change volume independently for alarm, media, notifications, etc. 17. No fingerprint scanner. 18. No call recording. 19. No usb stick/hard disk support through OTG. 20. No direct face unlock without swiping. 21. No file transfer to PC. I can't stand that iTunes bullshit. 22. No Picture in Picture feature/floating apps like Google Maps does on Android. 23. No console emulators. 24. No possibility to installing custom roms. 25. No possibility to download torrents. 26. No possibility to change size of all the text on the system. 27. No native OGG and FLAC support. 28. Still uses lightning port. Edit: they finally implemented USB-C in 2023 because they were forced to (europe regulations), but the speed is the same as the old lightning port (lol), so not on par with the average Android USB-C. 29. No MHL (mirror phone to monitor/TV). 30. No desktop mode like some Androids have, for example Samsung DeX and Motorola Ready. 31. No quick disable auto brightness 32. Correcting words is a nightmare because the cursor only goes to beginning or end of words, not where you touch it like on Android. 33. Phone dialer app is a joke. No cursor, if you accidently press a wrong number, you have to backspace the whole thing and redo again, and the same goes for the calculator app. And no T9 dialing. 34. No pause in video recording. 35. No battery saver (low power mode on iOS is a gimmick). On Android the power saver would drastically extend the battery life. 36. if an app is malfunctioning, you will have to uninstall and reinstall, while on Android you could just clear cache/data 37. No option to use navigation buttons 38. if an app crashes, it will just close or freeze abruptly with no notification whatsoever, while on Android it will give you a notification that the app has stopped working and give you options to force close or to wait. 39. No Clipboard feature 40. Totally unintuitive way to change app settings. Most apps settings can't be accessed directly from the app, you have to leave the app, open phone settings, look for the app, then locate the app settings. The same goes for the camera app, no menu inside the camera app. Also no pro mode for the camera. 41. No pin to screen feature 42. Photo management is terrible, for example, Whatsapp photos get saved in the camera roll. Wtf? 43. Still no easy native way to add custom ringtones. Laughable. 44. No scrolling screeshots 45. No option to change animation speed, which decreases speed, or at the very least, decreases the perceptibility of speed. Of course there are a lot of other small things and details that I don't recall right now or don't know, but I won't extend further. It's over for applefags.

    After 12 years with android i switched to apple last week. Everything works fine and smooth. Happy customer so far. Switched from a OnePlus 8t to a 15 pro max

    As long as you use Google messages on Android, it does the exact same thing as I message for the most part including high detail video and photos
  • @disco4553
    I have always been an Android user. Just a month ago I bought my first iPhone to try out. The 15 pro. This video perfectly sums up my experience. There's lots that feels a little clunky with apple. The keyboard is the worst part of the iphone. I do however, like the amount of work apple puts in to make a seamless experience. It does seem to flow more, and apps just integrate with each other. I'm still unsure if i'll stick with it, or get myself a 2024 android.

    I used to be passionately team android. I made a deal with one my best friends who happened to like iPhones just as much I did Androids. The next phone I'd buy would be an iPhone and then I'd tell him why I didn't like it when I switched back to Android. This was in 2017 and I am now still using an iPhone, so technically I still haven't had to tell him he was right.
  • Long time Android use here who has been using the iPhone 13 for 6 months. The ui is inconsistent. Navigation within the system and apps is easier with Android navigation gestures. Cameras are about the same. Battery life is similar with the s23 series. One thing I can tell you is that my s23 gets better reception than any of our iPhones. That alone will keep me on Android.

    Switched to iphone this week from my samsung galaxy s10 plus and i hate it... 1. To transfer files and whatsapp was a heavy work. Took me hours and intensive research 2. No option to pause video recording 3. No call recording 4. Very hard to download pdf files. Instead of just getting downloaded, it opens in a new tab and then u have to share it, save it etc 5. Even the calculator is very basic,. In android, u can see the calculatioms u done just in the screen itself, but in ios the app is like an old one we used 20 yra ago 6. No numbers on the keypad 7. Even if we switch to numerical keyboard from alphabets, the most frequent symbols like *, +, #, etc are on the second page of symbols.. These are the things that got to my nerves just in 3 days.

    There's only one major flaw to your comparison and that's regarding the software support. Apple is still years ahead of any android brand when it comes to delivering regular updates that actually solves minor issues, unlike its android counterparts. Even though, for example purposes only, Samsung delivers 4 android updates + 5 year security patches, with their flagship lineups, most often than not, those patches don't solve a single thing. Starting from galaxy s3, I've had almost every single Samsung S series and Note series phone, and let me tell you, camera focus issue on Samsung phones was always there, even back in the day. They still haven't find a way to fix it or, they choose not to do so. S21ultra had it, s22ultra as well and even s23ultra. Every single one of those phones could not provide you with a constantly decent photos/ videos of a moving subject. Sure, they can get the job done, but you will have to work for it, more often than you would want. Every year, after a few months after launching their new flagship series, Samsung issues a patch which was, supposedly, going to fix the camera issues. But, it never does. Than you spend time waiting for another patch and the cycle goes on. Soon enough, new flagship phones are set to launch and the older gen gets forgotten. They still keep pushing updates, patches, but no one cares now, there's a new kid on the block. Iphone, on the other hand, gets the job done almost every single time. Sure, some hickups occure when you rush a new product, but they don't ignore it. They promptly issue a patch that fixes the problem. Not having to delete tons of blurry photos (or unusable videos) every time I wanna capture my toddler running around the house, goofing around is a huge difference and a headache remover, at least in my book.

    I’ve seen your video pop up on my recommendations for a while now. I’ve been on iOS for three years about to be four years in March consistently, I will be getting the iPhone 15 Pro Max very soon, but I also will be picking up a Google Pixel 8 Pro as well in the near future. I can’t find a phone or operating system that makes me want to commit wholeheartedly, so I just go back-and-forth between Android and iOS but now I’m just gonna use Android and iOS simultaneously.
  • I’ve used both… I started using Android when the original Note debuted. Apple was the 1st smart phone tho, so up until that point I was using an iPhone and was into Jailbreaking and all that jazz once that all started to be popular. Once I started using Android’s I got into rooting and swapping ROMs and all that too!! Im wanting to use Android because I really would like to use a Z Fold 5… my last Android phone was the Note 20 Ultra… I LOVED that phone ! Even got a Tab S7+ to go along with it!! But… ended up selling it all and going back to Apple. Everything just works better and flows more fluently IMO!! There’s always a honeymoon phase when I’ve tried switching back to Android. I’m in a lot group txt threads and the experience was HORRIBLE with that! Along with limited media files that you were allowed to send through txt 😢 I don’t understand why Android users get so upset with Apple users 😅 I’ve literally used BOTH to their FULLEST and have concluded that Apple suits me the most… to each their own 🤷‍♂️
  • Your first point about videos and images being low res in Android and needing some special data channel just shows you're ignorant.
  • Every daily use takes 2-3 extra steps. Even typing this message I don't need to change the screen. Apple is frustrating to try to use or learn to use 🤷🏼‍♂️

    How does iPhone has good build quality? The back is glass. You drop it. It will break. I had an iPhone and the battery expanded causing the screen to come off.
  • I was thinking going to Android as I see some cool developments and cost, but had the same reasons as you gave for not doing that. I am afraid ultimately Android has too many services continuity limitations and you require too much tinkering to find alternatives. As I get older, I value service functionality, ease of use, and overall integration, which Apple simply does best. Only if the cost could be cheaper that would be ideal, because one thing I really hate is that the cheaper devices from Apple lack just 1-2 features that I always find important and they put them in Pro models...
  • @wht-rabt-obj
    I just love cellphone tech, period. I switch back and forth, too. It's more interesting that way 😎
