I got one on pre order but I returned it.
I usually love Android phones, but I can't give up my iPhone because the notification systems are terrible. For example, when I click on notifications from Instagram or any third-party app, it doesn't take me to the relevant image or topic, and sometimes it doesn't open the link at all. Also, in Instagram DMs, when I click on one notification, all the others disappear as if they've been seen, even if I haven't viewed them. The Android notification panel is messy and unhelpful, not guiding me properly and failing to take me to the relevant content when I click on a link or image. Sometimes, it just opens the app and stays there, instead of taking me to the specific notification. The same issue applies to Gmail notifications, which are often delayed. These are based on my experiences, and they need to be fixed.
I'm usually a Android user and i experienced iOS on iphone 15 pro max, I noticed a huge lack of features and user experience compared to Android, result Leave iOS and back to Android❤❤
Good I Appreciate It ❤❤
Ye facts I've seen vids where people show that Android has a way better use experience. But I've never really used a good Iphone so Idk if there better.
All the benefits that he mentioned of using the iPhone include spending $5000 on multiple devices. Most people do not buy a package of devices. Each device should work well on its own *and* with other devices.
I think it's the amount of UI features that I am offered with Samsung that keeps me on team Android.
Yeah iPhones have got a bit better in that aspect but androids like Samsung are great at features. Also being able to download almost anything (iPhones can download music off the mobile browser now but that wasn’t always the case) and emulation being a lot easier although possible on iPhone. I’m big on emulation can care less about genshin impact lol although cod mobile sometimes has me coming back.
@@robmalcolm8042Dude, there are literally other smartphone brands that use Android (Not just Samsung, but Google Pixel Motorola, etc use Android too). There are a total number of 1,300 Android OEMs (OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer) from different countries.
Its not about the features, its about the design, usage and reliability
@@SantiagoAragortyeah but let’s be real Samsung own 98% of the android market so Samsung rules android. The is why google teamed up with them
@@anthonyhernandez6230 Yeah, that's why that Samsung is the 'king of Android'.
iPhone is literally a dumb phone of the modern era.
lmao typical android fanatic
@@theobserver3753he’s not wrong
Brother,,,He is right.@@theobserver3753
I don't wanna sound DUMB, but please elaborate.
I love both Android and Apple because of their own specs but it's becoming hard to choose which one I want as a main phone and seeing all my friends with an iPhone kinda gives me unintentional peer pressure. I guess it's about what phone pleases u the most
It's not hard to choose if you know what you want . Community, ecosystem- go for apple. Freedom, functionality, productivity and personalized look no further than Android and for now Samsung is at top followed by Google and other Chinese brand. Bad luck Huawei is struggling at the moment due to us ban lack of Google service.
If you're using a phone because of peer pressure it's basically a fashion accessory to you at that point
So you only get things based on what your friends get wow that's crazy
@@rickydeleon6987 No I never fell into the peer pressure
Correct. If you want a phone that just "kinda" works, then yeah. You get the iPhone. If you want to be able to Actually do everything with your "phone" you buy a flagship Android device.
What kinds of things would I not be able to do if I switched to Apple?
@@jsac3939 clipboard manager, sideload easily, customise your phone with launchers, use rcs, schedule texts, change your icons without making a shortcut for every app, install custom roms, read more than one sentence in your notifications and quick responses. There are a lot more things that I missed. Android is better for if you like customising/tinkering with your phone.
@@jsac3939 multiple instances of applications. Multitasking apps (on screen at the same time), older iphones will only screen cast to "Apple" enabled tv, custom ROMs, side loading apps (can't load anything NOT in the "app store", among other things. iPhones are great for the technologically inferior or inept. Problem is, when something doesn't work with Android, you can MAKE it work. With apple "you need to buy X accessory or hardware" and even with that, it's not guaranteed.
@@jsac3939 tap to pay, most places. First and foremost. Apple pay is notoriously awful.
Yep. I’m using both everyday, no issue with my iPhone but using my Android is easier.
So curiousity got to me and I decided to finally give the iPhone 15 Pro Max a try after being stricty a Samsung Note user since the Note 3 (most recently had a Note 20 Ultra). I have yet to find ONE benefit about this phone as a stand alone device after 2 weeks. In fact, it feels like I've time warped back 5 years with so many missing basic features. At this point I am going to give this phone another week, and unless theres a big revelation, I'll pay the extra $200 and get the S24 Ultra.
What basic features is it missing?
@@andrewhodgeson8006split screen , spen , navigation back gesture is more consistent , more icons widgets wherever u want, customization, reverse wireless charging, able to find contacts by just typing the number on the dialer
@@andrewhodgeson8006 1. No universal back button (annoying AF) 2. No call recording 3. No pause button while video/screen recording. (WTF?) 4. Poor call management (only save up to 100 call history and mix up calls from all apps into 1 call log) 5. Poor storage management(can't transfer data easily to the non-apple device) 6. Poor keyboard typing experience(actually worst I have ever seen) 7. Can't change the device hotspot name (weird) 8. Can't share wifi as a hotspot(only mobile data can be shared) 9. No T9 dialing 10. Headache process to send photo as a file through whatsapp. 11. No clipboard (it's 2024 damn it) 12. No split screen (which is counter productive AF) These are iust basic things that the iPhone lacks.
Other than that every single social media app actually delivers quality photos and videos, they are not janky and randomly buggy? Hmm
@@raz0rh Any android flagship will give you a buttery smooth experience on any social media app The main problem is the developers actually using the camera API to make the photos actually look how they're supposed to The S24 series actually did it and some people are even asking if the contents not fake and it's just an iPhone LMAO
Only advantage of iphone from this video I got was the ecosystem. If you dont have it, there is no point of owning an iphone. You just waste a 1000$ on a glass brick. I am happy with the freedom I have with android
Man shut yo goofy ah ah pair your galaxy with a goofy ah ah android tablet, that’s what I thought

That is true. If you have apply devices its best to pick iphone for ecosystem. Otherwise just pici android. coming from a apple user although looking to samsung rn
Android is just more fun to use. Especially Google's. #TeamPixel
Imagine paying $1200 for an iPhone just to scroll on tiktok and take a pictures here and there lol ok
Ever heard of a contract? Oh and the Samsung flagships are the same price🤦♂️
@@cozygoat1273 with Samsung at least you are getting what you pay for, as you can do whatever you want with your phone, all the way from customizing every single thing about your phone, to running Nintendo switch emulation
@@cozygoat1273 more expensive, look at the price of s24 ultra
what if Samsung and iPhone have the same price
samsung you actually can game on it compared to iphone@@mohammedalgamdi4324
Most of the things you mentioned as benefits for iPhone are available on Samsung S24. Even hardware is reliable and solid. Plus, Android will have AI built in the next pixel phone. Without AI apps built-in, the iPhone will lag soon.
the AI chat features is only available on Samsung until 2025 then its a paid feature thereafter
@@aamirh3567not all AI features!
@@aamirh3567Sauce?
@@aamirh3567We don't know what's going to happen.
Growing up I was a diehard android fanboy, but as you get older you realise the more simple and effective things are the better life in general becomes, that’s where I think iPhone and iOS come in, unlike android which in pursuit of providing a plethora of customisations overcomplicates stuff, the iPhone keeps it way simpler, I honestly find it less irritable to use an iPhone. ❤
That’s where I’m at in life
Same. It sucks to realize I'm getting older, but hey that also means we're getting wiser. It's not really worth the time to mess with all the settings and deal with things not working as expected. I just switched my laptop from Windows to Mac for the same reason. Windows is much more troubled than Android though IMO
iOS os lack of many basic features which make life easier
This is why I switched from Android to an iPhone, seven years ago. And then got very bored and went Pixel 7. I have managed the transition but honestly, iOS is just slicker and simpler. I gave a soft sales pitch to try and convince my wife to switch from 11 PM to P8 Pro but she just wasn't up for it and I honestly think it's not worth the hassle, yes even though there is £100s in price difference. Many 100s. Just ordered her the 512GB 15 Pro Max. Is what it is.
I dunno if it's different with the iPad, but I've wanted to throw my iPad across the room when it does something unexpected (some window gets maximized and even swiping from the left or right doesn't get rid of it). The one saving grace is the physical home button to get me out of that. But the iPhone doesn't have that, so I've been hesitant to drop that amount of money on a device whose OS I've struggled with. Also this whole "way simpler" is ridiculous. I've never had difficulty using Android. I don't know who these people are that struggle to use it.
Honestly google is killing it rn with the pixel.
I just wish they had a better processor
BestBuy making a killing on Pixel 8/8 Pro restocking fees.😂
I have the Pixel 8 and it can't keep 120fps in basic interactions. Its a mediocre phone with top notch camera and display.
@@xdarshan use force max refresh rate in the settings. I have a pixel 8 and it's always at 120hz for me
Pixel 8 can’t even do HDMI out or screen mirroring via Miracast, something that even the iPhone 5 could do.
I could not care less about apple updates because the only update they ever stuck with me is slowing down the phone. They also disabled 3D Touch, which is a feature that I paid for, and the iPhone contained hardware for 3D Touch. I'm just glad my iPhone days are behind me.
3D Touch still works on devices with the hardware. Not happy they removed it from future phones
Sir, Is the Iphone SE 4 Coming in 2024 ?
Great video. I'm considering changing to Android since the updates on Apple's iOS are taking too long to release, not to mention, I heard that the Battery on Android phones are better than on iphone. Recently, my iphone's battery has been draining fast and there are lots of bugs happening on my iphone and ipad. The update release? Probably next month. I don´t get why apple takes SO long to release an update. Thanks for the video, I'll think about the odds before actually taking my decision. I gave you a subscribe.
What are you talking about, iPhone gets timely updates for iOS
I’m in the same boat and am trading in my 13 pro max in 2 days, been an iPhone user since the iPhone 4. Wish me luck I’m liking what I’m seeing from the s24 ultra
Updates to iOS come every September….
Good luck switching to an Android phone man, My dad tried using an Android Once after being an iPhone user for a decade, But he ended up switching back to iPhones because of iPhone's Simplicity
LOL you're talking about updates and that's one of the signature features of iPhone, the only way you have the same thing in android is if you buy a pixel phone, or a Samsung one unlock... buy something of any other brand or a lock android phone and forget about updates if any at all, Apple is the one with more consistent updates across devices and most iPhones are always with the latest version of IOS, how many android phones have the latest update? The number is ridiculous small, in android if you get a buggy update, praise the gods the android company bothers to give you another update at all
I think tech Ecosystem are great but I think the Google Suite (drive and gmail) and Microsoft Suite are important and can truly help with gluing together a mixed ecosystem.
I feel that what he says about iphones being more reliable and having better hardware was true a few years ago but is very misleading today!
The real advantage for Apple's hardware is that it has no competition. iPhones are in the same market as android phones. But since the OS is different, Apple can optimize iOS around one SOC. This is why they hold value better. As last yrs flagship for android is this yrs mid-tier phone for the most part. So they reduce to compete with that market
apple is still selling phones with 60hz as a max refresh rate. name one other "luxury" product that fills their products up with 10 year old tech. What is y'alls silicone chip good for? scrolling tik tok and talking with a chat gpt app? lol. yalls phones are so throttled you can hardly have 2 apps open at once without one of them refreshing when you go back to it. is that the raw power of the silicone chip in action?
Absolutely, current Samsungs for example are incredibly solid, equal or better then iPhones
@@Dave-wh5cdyeah that’s also cause iPhones just have decent power for one task at once. When you go beyond that the “smoothness” is only cause it closes and refreshes apps all the time while android properly caches/rams them.
@@RagingBadI got access to a iPhone 13 and s23 ultra as well as an old google pixel xl and the androids to me are way better. The 13 only has done better in longevity for the battery over the old pixel. Which isn’t a fair comparison since it’s much older but Samsungs seem to hold battery life in terms of years for as long or longer than iPhone.
I have to use an iPhone for work and iOS just sucks as a user experience. It's just not intuitive to me. The hardware may be good, although the phones always seem top heavy and unbalanced, but the usability is so archaic. Google Pixel has some awesome quality of life features that I just can't live without anymore.
Can you name a few quality of life features?
@@prapra15777 Spam Calling - you miss it when you don't have it On Hold for me Clear Calling Voice dictation Call Screening Direct My Call Assistant Voice typing Voice dictation is years ahead of anything else currently. Live Caption Now Playing Heck every A.l feature
@@Jo5ue1 interesting. I'm pretty satisfied with my Samsung, but was looking at going to iPhone or Google.
You don't have full control of your apples storage. When the phone runs out of space, you cannot individually target application folder to be deleted or the equivalent of 'gallery' i.e. 'photos' wont sync with your local storage and have to manually add them to the 'photos' app which also takes up double space for keeping it in both sectors. Iphone usually provides low storage even for a high price, while android flagship usually starts with 256gb, at the same time higher storage dont cost far beyond from the base variant and sometimes with additional slot for sd card which can be directly refered by the camera app to use it as recording storage. Iphone have lower battery life while recording videos while android flagship seems to last longer, without the stress of using up the storage. And as for the camera quality, flagship android more or less has the same capability as Iphone image sensors are also provided by Sony, who also provides it to Android manufacturers.
@6MonthsLater - Please tell me where you got your orange cat. Also thanks for the video.
It's not mine! :D It's a family cat, but they got it from a rescue out near Oxford, NC, though I'm not sure of the name. Glad you like the video!
I'm really on the fence for choosing. I'm team Samsung But the only thing I really live on that Apple doesn't have is a side panel and the pen. But with Samsung I have to disable everything in the settings (tracking, search history, and so on) But no matter what I search for I will see ads popping up on social medias, emails, and so many other ads. And even if I say something like, " I wanna buy the peekaboo baby elephant" to someone it starts showing up on my phone. The privacy is becoming a concern with Samsung products. I've been searching videos for a few months , I'm so confused help me choose lol!
On my 2nd iphone here ready to go back to Android. Doing simple tasks in the iPhone is an exercise in futility. iOS 18 better be nonfrustratingly seamless and intuitive or I'm done.
Multi-tasking is what has me going back to s24 Ultra every time.
Though the volume rocker does change by steps in android u can freely adjust the volume bar to any level you want plus apple still on macbooks have steps which cant be changed... u need to use the control center to hve the continuous slider if u use the button it switches to the steps So that aint a valid point
On a Android when you press the volume button you can turn it up or turn it down you can control it with your finger so you do not have to go to the next volume step
You can also add more volume steps, its pretty easy to do at least with Samsung
Where are all the non-binary, mobile OS agnostic/'fluid' smart phone users at?
12:14 iOS may be private when it comes to third party intruders, but Apple has all the access to your data just as Google does on Pixel devices. The only private phone is some kind of a creepy linux phone, like Pinephone, but the closest to being private is Pixel phone with GrapheneOS, Calyx or LineageOS for microG etc flashed on it
Creepy Linux phone? Lol
How do you get / make a creepy Linux phone? (FYI, an iPhone user here with zero idea on OS other than iOS). And I agree that really nothing is private anymore. I’m 100% sure Apple has access to iPhone users’ data the same way that Google does with Android users’ data (or whatever the operating system they’re using). The only private phones in the existence of all cell phones … were the old flip phones or Nokia type phones.
@@snowfox7739 but they really are - low performance, lack of software, like maps and banking, that are really needed today and tge best of them, Pinephone Pro is just bad as a phone with an ips screen and not enough battery life
The volume on samsung has the same control press up or down then hold find on the slider that appears and you have full control over your volume instead of steps
Good video, but it went up 2 weeks ago and the Samsung S 24 just came out before that. Seems like this needs a quick update. The S24 seems to smoke the Iphone in many parts (note I love both and have the Iphone 15 Pro Max) but it seems this video needs a real update to be current.
Bro hoping this year you will review also Xiaomi 14 ultra 🙂
Maybe it’s early days but the one major distinction going Android rather than iPhone is the AI abilities on Android (specifically the Pixel and Samsung devices which substantially upgraded their AI abilities recently) are far more superior than on IPhone. Hopefully this time next year, Apple will have a better solution than Siri. Great video overall !
AI is a trendy fad that won't last long. Once AI is thoroughly integrated into our everyday smartphone experience AI will be old news.
@jevonsims900 but still Apple doesn't have it in their phones so..m
The lack of AI on iphone might be a plus.
@@Iesous27I agree. I don’t want AI. The world is fake enough already.
I am only willing to use Ai features if my date doesn't leave my device. iPhone has a load of AI assisted features that are ran locally on the device, data and information don't get send to a server. I'll gladly take a Ai experience worse if it means not using my voice, texts or information to feed an database.
I did not watch this to the end but did he conclude to go with iPhones if u are in the ecosystem?
Yep😂
@@hanvetypical
The iOS consistency in apps for widgets is NOT there for apps... Particularly in terms of the simple "back" button. On Android, a swipe from the edge can be set to "back" for any app - or gou can even set up the old three-button Switcher/Home/Back layout. Conversely, in iOS, the back button in Safari is down at the bottom left, while in many apps is still top left. That is, if there isn't an "X" in the top right for some pop-up screens.
If I was going to JUST have a phone I may be tempted to go with the s24u. But when it comes to having an ecosystem of devices it really doesn’t get better than Apple. ( this is coming from a galaxy fanboy ever since the s4 active and upgraded yearly ).
What are the eco system features which Samsung doesn't have Apple has? Except continuity camera
Nice! I'm trying to determine if I'm going to get the 24 Ultra, wait for iphone 16 to come out or get Iphone 15 pro max. Currently have a Samsung galaxy note10 plus. I got a Apple watch 9 for Christmas so I have hard decisions to make here 🤔
I think the iPhone 15 line up is a good point in iPhone history where you can’t go wrong, even if the 16 comes with all sorts of crazy stuff like hidden behind the screen front facing camera. Remember iOS is not like Android so even if the iPhone 16 turns out to be a beasts, the experience on that 16 will be the same as any other iPhone thus I recommend you check out IOS and IOS features before deciding on a 15 pro max or waiting on the 16. Also I recommend you put down on a list what you need from that phone, for example I would like to upgrade to either the 14 or the 15 because of the satellite feature which could come in handy where I live, if it wasn’t for that I would have gladly stayed with my 12 mini.
@kendregab7328 why would they give you an apple watch if you use an Android? Not the brightest gift
I’m starting to feel like the Apple ecosystem isn’t worth the amount of restrictions placed on you. If you’re looking for a simple experience sure, but the moment you need or want to do something that Apple hasn’t preordained then you're going to be kicking yourself.
I've been using samsung for a long time and only used an Iphone 5 when I was younger. And do you guys think the Iphone 13 is good?

Thank you this. I used to love android but lack of wifi only connection made me lean to iphone more and now am almost going all in. Example my child had an iphone with no service and she was able to call me and ask for help when financial pockets were leaking.
You can't call from android using wifi? What are you talking about?
@@awetravelsOG Let's say you have Samsung phone without any sim card. You can not call another Samsung phone ever the Wi-Fi alone you will need cell provider network data to do so. In short face time, audio, or video whichever is easy. At first I never used to care about all these but now I believe it is the best because it can save your life if things are hard ( Survival Mode)
@@slambert9102 just have WhatsApp, telegram any other app installed. And you can call anyone who has the same app. Almost everyone in other countries in the world except the US(due to iphone and imessage dominance) has a WhatsApp account, you don't need an iPhone for that.
@@slambert9102all this is solved by using WhatsApp like the rest of the world (outside of the US) does
Ok wait about the samsung volume you can also contro with your finger so its the same its not a disadvantage for Samsung its adjustable
WAIITTT there is also when you said lighting ujustment my samsung phone also dose that (i dont like it) like its night time i turn off the light it adjust my phone so i dont realy like it to me its anoying but another that is not disadvantage to samsung
I use a fold 5 and 13 pro. The 13 line is amazing even in 24. Would recommend that to anyone who cant afford the latest. Fold is great for any tech nerd like me lol
But iPhones don’t get the latest features from the new model ( auto portrait mode on the 15 is not available on the 14 pro even tho it has the same chip, but on the other hand Samsung always brings their new features to the older model like the ai on the s24 is available on the s23. I really fell bad knowing that my iPhone 14 is capable of shooting auto portraits like on the 15 but apple just won’t add it
Nice video, but i hat the comparison of a Iphone to and operating system. For some mfg like samsung android is only the based platform, similar to how all linux os are not the same. And when you have a mfg eco like Samsung phone, tablet, buds watch etc you will find the stuff work just as well as the apple ecosystem.
Privacy on Apple? Wasn't the company going implement a policy enabling to to search through your entire photo album? It shouldr be quoted "the company sells you the ILLUSION of privacy."
Yeah, they treat privacy as just a marketing tactic and nothing more. I think android wins in this category because you can get way better privacy than iphones with custom roms.
Exactly. Apple was literally about to turn your device into a police snitch device and only privacy advocate protests stopped them Apple also gave in to the Chinese government and gives them customer data access. Apple doesn’t give a shit about your privacy and can change their mind at any time
The privacy is worth an Android because Apple got it and Google got it right. Stay with Google Pixel because he's just only Google kind of and all the partners. But now I'm serious Apple is b*******
Same thing has been on android if you have Google photos installed. And Google makes money selling your data to advertisers. To my knowledge Apple doesn't, but what concerns me is who they might give access to the data upon request. They're probably not much better than Google. Custom android rom or a simple flip phone is the most secure
Great job with this video. Very interesting comparisons here. You made a lot of great points for each. IMO, this comes down to personal preference and loyalty to one or the other. None are absolutely perfect but both are close enough. For customers like us we should be thankful for each and the competition. Keep up the great work 🍏
I got an idea for the google pixel 9 line up, on top of the standard and pro, there couldnbe a pixel 9 max, which has an 8 gen 3, 2500nits 144hz 1440p screen ltpo 3.0, 5500mah battery, a 3x and 5x telephoto lets with 45mp resolution, a 108 mp main and an ultra wide, fast 60 w charging. That would be the best flagship by a mile, it could cost around 1400-1600 dollars.
Ecosystem is only an advantage because everyone in NA relies heavily on iMessage. The same Apple products which are fantastic, are matched by Samsung I believe in most if not all categories. Both are great products of course. RCS will be an interesting change of things for people on the fence looking to try something different or people looking for a deal perhaps.
Rcs coming to iPhone is the main reason I felt liberated from the Apple curse enough to get an s24 ultra. So excited to be back on android Apple can suck my dick with their anti consumer practices They had the ability to let me text with my family with rich format for ages and instead let me, their paying customer, suffer? Ya fuck off apple
Literally discord bro
@@thedinosaurzbro come on. Good luck getting all iPhone users to use discord. Ain’t no way my parents are using discord just to message me. People don’t want to download an app just to talk to one or two people. We have enough messaging apps as it is already.
Im probably gonna jump ship to Android once RCS is supported. Unless iOS 18 comes with some major changes.
@@IvanBustosis RCS messaging THAT good?
I was native android until I got my 14PM and iPad Pro I’m not looking to go back to android anytime soon!!
I don't know why, but this sync stuff never worked for me... Back when I was all apple, things worked really bad, and when I lose a file, I lost on everything! So I stop using iCloud, iTunes sync, mac plus iPhone, coz when I lost a file, I lose it only in one machine, then I can get it back. F! Don't know why it never worked, but this "just works" was a nightmare to me. Well I've switched to android back in 2018 anyway
At the end an Apple sheep stating a 60hz display on the standard iPhone the best display you can get.
No it isn't, I'm still sticking to iphone though.
you do realize iphones have 120hz
@@maybelivxie Maybe you don't realise that's only on the Pro model. I mention clearly "on the standard iPhone". Do your research or read better.
@@frankwalders yeah but ur saying it like the iphone display is bad when it isnt, its very hard to notice pixels even when you look closely
@@maybelivxie Jee... no that is not what I'm saying. This guy is stating that iPhones always come with 'the best' screens and that is just not true. Especially a 60hz screen on a premium phone in 2023/2024 is just really weird/bad and yeah you do notice that. Not the pixels but lag, do some Google.
Good and honest review. Most reviewers out there are confusing users with their personal preferences. But according to your video the advantage of iphone is not limited to specific android phone like top brands like google and Samsung , you get same level of support, app, ecosystem etc
On android you can put ur volume to any as well not js steps
You know what the funny thing is about all these videos about which OS is better between the two, android and iOS is the people who review the two OS's never say which one they really like better, they kinda leave everybody out in the open to decide which one they like better, which is alright I guess to let people make a choice, but they themselves never get straight out to the point and say hey, I like this one better. I knoticed that, it is like most we got to guess which one is better, or which one is better for us individually, and I get that, I have only used android so far, but I would really like to know which one is really better, like legitimately, so I could stick with the OS that is actually better. I just want these reviewers to actually say which one is really the better out of the two OS,s, that all, let me know if I am wrong or right
Its not for the reviewers to decide lol. Both OS are good. YOU make the choice on which is better for YOU
They do that to not piss anyone, they are whores that want to make everyone happy and get more likes and views
@@jamestribie3387that's not what he meant
As someone who recently experienced both, I'd say If your priorities are emojis, social media, and you're not tech savvy , go with IOS If you want cutting edge tech, useful (and sometime useless) innovative features, and a true productivity tool, go with a flagship android.
@@djhitmanchicago and even for social media and emojis Android have everything you need
Was a lifelong iphone user. Currently use the fold 5. I am shocked at how far samsung has progress in terms of display quality (It actually looks like reading text on a paper), encryption and security (secure folder), innovation (the folding concept is really a work of engineering art), ergonomics (it feels natural to hold a book-like device),creating a reliable phone and a consistent UI- whereas it seems to me the iphone has remained mostly stagnant since the iphone 12. Even in terms of pricing, the fold 5 being the most expensive android is not far from the price of an iphone 15 pro max. I have come to a conclusion that apple is just basically really really good at marketing and creating a loyal fanbase.
Android has more features and lets you do whatever you want with the device. But in the end it's all subjective. They are both great phones, besides most people use their phone to browse the web, social media and take pics and videos.
You forgot about ui design which is huge imo. Personally never used an android but am pleased with how things are laid out like in photos or Apple Music for example. Things just seem easy to understand on iPhone.
Ux is better in android because it has universal back gestures everywhere.
@@frankreynolds9930that doesnt make the whole ui better cuz of back gestures, ios is more simple and organized
@livxieshorts3609 Hardly organized. No app settings in the app itself. So less customization to make it more easy to use. People just say ios is simple because they have been the same for 15 years while android has lot of iteration and different brands os. Android is more simple and easy to use.
I use both (S24U / 15PM) and find myself frequently wishing my 15PM could do things my S24U can. Next, frustratingly I find myself having to reboot / hard reboot my iPhone far too often.
Lie. Even my X barely freezes/crashes unless I play games, making it too hot.
I have both and just interchange whenever I get bored, Love them both but currently on my Android phase lol
I been an android user for 7 years now and I still am today, Sony, Nokia and Samsung are my 3 favourite smartphone manufacturers
I had a Note 9 for years, recently upgraded to the S24 ultra, I love the S Pen and cannot get a phone without it
Andriod is killing it right now. Samsung and pixel are king.
Im an android user if i ever switch it will be social media , ecosystem but im happy on the android side
I’m considering switching to android because although a big bonus I have with my iPhone is compatibility with other devices, the only other devices I have are a windows laptop and the family tv
Interesting video. I do the opposite though: iPhone is my work phone (better security story), and Android (S23U) is my personal phone due to the better camera and video options.
I use and have both same goes with windows and mac i have and use both . in my opinion and experience windows/android are by far the better OS and Mac and iOS are by far the most reliable OS .
Thats a real good take
I hate windows, Mac OS is way superior, that's why my computer is Apple and my phone Samsung
@@RagingBadbro did u try programming?
@@tomaszelenak9548 programming what?
I do not understand how everybody brags about iOS ecosystem. It isn’t that impressive. Have you never seen Samsungs ecosystem? Completely better than iOS.
@SoMuchGroove True, Apple is not cool & not impressive anyways. Apple is a piece of Crap and so is Tim Cook, Steve Jobs & Crapple fans. Android is actually better than iOS overall because Android is not as restrictive as crappy iOS (Android has more customisation, utility & Android has features that unlock it's" true power").
@SoMuchGroove In fact, all Android OEMS are better than Apple (Except for Xiaomi, POCO, Redmi & Huawei). Microsoft Windows is better than Mac, too.
Well done excellent job I'm stuck with a 20 right now an a20 Samsung right now. And when I say stuck I don't mean so bad phone. When I got it it was the best phone I've ever had. Although I've never had an iPhone. But I have paid attention as many people that you know have an iPhone. What I liked about the Samsung it was the first Android I ever had that was brand new at the time as opposed to buying a used phone and then going through straight talk. Which actually isn't that bad if the phone was designed for Verizon because you're going to get Verizon towers. But I get this that the hardware for iPhones generally tends to be better. I'm way older than all you guys and I remember my first computer lab in college and it was all those monochrome Apple computers. I hesitate to use the word PC because they weren't. But they were fantastic for things like word processing and doing your papers in even the first few years I taught just printing out my lesson plans and printing out anything I wanted to laminate so it would look good on the old school overhead. But when Steve Jobs left them by 98 I was a Windows guy. And had no idea that we would have computers in our pockets. And that's another story but I think that like the author here says if you're willing to put the time in Android can be a really good device although I would certainly stay away from something coming out of China or some other country. Also Android is a little LAX with who they let into the play store. Funny I didn't know that in Europe the same problem exists for both systems.. and there's always been ways to side load apps. It's just seems like apple is suddenly made it easier. Although I never could afford war was willing to pay the price for an iPhone I always pretty much assumed they were the safest phones. Now I'm not so sure although I suspect they are highest performing if everything else comes from apple. I think that's where Android if you're smart, if you find the right android, that plays well with other apps and other Hardware you come out on Winning Side but it's a crapshoot.
In a perfect world the developers in Android would never have sold out to Google. At the time is its conception the Nexus was the best damn phone. No bloatware. Lots of freedom and early consistent updates but we don't live in that world anymore. If somebody gave me a pixel as long as it's not based on AT&T I would take it in a heartbeat. But it's not a Nexus. And we know any third party like Linksys or whatever is not going to be viable in the next decade. Again I think the author did a really good job on playing it straight down the line. If I was wealthy and loaded I would get all Apple products except maybe for my PC or my laptop. But I don't live in that world and I'm not going to pay for something that's going to be outdated much sooner than the other guys. But the point on collection of data definitely is a negative for Google I don't care how much they claims have improved and how many BS notifications I get when I log on at another site. I don't know if Apple users go through that or not? But it seems like a bunch of horse manure. And I made the decision out of saving time to allow Google / Chrome to collect my passwords. 10 years ago I had basically a Rolodex of passwords. I will say this in regards to passwords for anybody when you come up with words that are disconnected from each other, unless you required by the site, make your own password up use words that have no connection to each other. I would give an example but it might put me or you at risk. I actually from the research I've read believe that what we used to think we're really strong passwords actually aren't. And then there's the big lie, whichever company you're with, you're at risk to be hacked. So it might be a good idea to actually talk to people on the phone or to meet with them face-to-face as old school as that may seem. Sadly in the last 10 years you also need to be aware of Visual and audio recordings weather at Starbucks or Sheetz or some other crabby place but this was surprisingly a well-done and seemingly non-partisan review thank you exclamation point cheers exclamation point
Just watching this cause I like ur videos
Glad you like them!
Sorry, but iPhones get SIX years of OS support, not five.
Can anyone help me make a decision? I am apple user for over 11 years now, I want to switch to Samsung and I am really scared to switch because I never tried it before so do you think it’s easy to switch? Or keep the iPhone? Thank you
I tried to switch from 12PM to a S23U, it was a nightmare. Apps don’t transfer over or if they do the data in the app doesn’t. The Samsung camera was hopeless at capturing moving objects and android auto was not compatible with my car. In the end I switched back to iPhone. I will say the Samsung screen quality was miles ahead of iPhone and the S pen is actually useful.
@@Throttle.Monkey Thank you for your honest answer
@Throttle.Monkey bro that doesn't answer his question ur switching to a android to another android he's switching from iPhone to and android and I honestly if you like want to do work on your phone and have a wide display of settings I would switch
@@HeartLessVr. I switched from an iPhone 12 pro max to a Samsung S23 ultra. The iPhone is a better phone, for me.
It seems all the advantages you listed for apple is ignoring you can get the same experience on dedicated ecosystems and flagship android phones.
Enough of discussion Purchase whatever you like
Exactly... Purchase whatever makes you happy. It's 2024 ffs
Windows compatibility is all that matters. That alone makes android the winner
iPhones are just Phones while androids are like PC lite
Android ✖️ Samsung, everyday for me. Android smartphones work perfectly with my Windows 💻. iOS don't have any features i miss when i'm using my Android. Android gives me features i need, basics and advanced and more flexibility. iOS can't match this.
If you have no life and you are cheap , buy Android
You are not very smart. Look at the prices of new android phones 🤡@@callmeNeno
You did a great job with this comparison. I was using a tiny iPhone 4s and was so envious of Android phones and their much larger screens. When Apple released the iPhone 5 and 5s with its tiny 4 inch screen. I bit the bullet and got myself a Sony Xperia with its much larger 5.2 inch screen and I never looked back! I've since owned multiple Android phones and today preordered a Samsung Galaxy S24+ that should last me a long time thanks to the 7 years of support now being offered. I really wanted to go back to using an iPhone because I have a Mac Mini and imac, but simply couldn't justify the exorbitant cost. Perhaps one day I'll go back to iPhone when Apple finally decide to ditch that annoying notch, but I'm now more than happy to be part of the Android ecosystem.
how about battery performance?
This video is comparing Android Os to iOS. What has the battery performance to do with this? You do realize with Android there are thousands of different models, all with different battery sizes and capacities?
Android phone vs. iphone (not just the OS) generally battery performance is a deal breaker. You may compare battery performance of iphone against it's Android phone equivalent (price range).
@@siryus18 Let me explain it to you so you understand. Android is software (the OS) it's not hardware!!!
I know. An Android phone is a handset running an Android OS. Iphone is a handset running an IOS operating system.
It's basically an Android phone vs an iphone
If cameras were out of the question, without a doubt, i'd go for the s24 ultra, BUT for someone like me who values image quality, i must say i have to pick the 15PM. But if say I also possess an actual camera like a ricoh gr iii, then the s24 ultra is a no brainer.
most the things he said he liked about Iphone, the android already does. When I push Do Not Disturbe on my watch, my S23 mutes as well. The Face unlock works just fine. Perhaps he needs to try the S23 or 24 before making this video.
I have both an iPhone and an android. iPhone 12 Pro Max and Pixel 7 Pro. I like the best of both platforms.
Want a phone you can call your own, Android. Want a phone that you think is yours, Iphone.
Nah its more want a phone where you have to think more Android or want a phone that makes life easier for you Iphone.
@thedevilsTV I want something that's not so restricting and I don't have to pay an arm or leg just to stay in the ecosystem. It comes down to preferences and there's nothing the iPhone has that I feel like I will ever want to get one. Also, if you want variety and not just one boring style, then android is the best because iPhone is just a rectangle with not too rounded edges/corners. I also don't want to get into the ecosystem of theirs with a Mac laptop where windows is so much better and with my samsung, I can use the features for a laptop with easily without needing a specific branded one like Mac.
I just got an S24 Ultra today after using iphone religiously since the iphone 5 and being locked to the apple ecosystem. And let me tell you, where the F was I??!?🤣 This phone is amazing, the one UI OS is as smooth as IOS but with many many more features. I do love apple for its simplicity and ecosystem, but Samsung knocked it out of the park with the S24 ultra. My experience will be different from others, but so far, I do not regret my purchase. I did keep my iphone just in case to help control or manage subscriptions. But my main phone will for sure be the s24 ultra, not having imessage was my biggest downside, but with the Beeper app, I have imessage and all the goodies from android! Samsung really caught up and in my opinion, maybe even surpassed apple.
Always on display Notification set in better way Are two more advantageof android
1. Samsung Ecosystem is 90 percent of apple ecosystem (till now except continuity camera and secondary screen iPad I didn't see any other feature apple has which Samsung doesn't) 2. Consistency is equal to apple (that volume ticks is just dumb to complain) (apple doesn't have back button btw which is consistent among all androids) 3. Software updates on time agree 4. Hardware, if you plan to take an android with iPhone price it has same or even better hardware than Apple 5. Just use an android and talk about those software features (Android has way more features than iPhone we all know that, iPhones are still trying to keep up) 6. Privacy maybe not sure I get same level of personalised adds as my previous Android (Btw I'm using an iPhone 14, I like my previous Samsung s20 FE better)
Exactly , Android is more fun to use than an iphone in my opinion. The only thing I like about the iPhone is their video and camera output..
Damn, I cant agree more. Just bought Iphone 15 on a recent sale and I'm already missing my s20 fe
the open fiel system, high refresh rate screens and Dex caused me to switch to Samsung the last few Years. I really like Android, I can connect it with anything. I don't send a lot of videos and photos to iphone users so that doesn't bother me. I want an iphone too don't get me wrong. I don't hate apple products and I feel like you need at least one for apple tv plus and apple pay eventually. But Android definitely isn't a cheap imposter it's it's own thing now with it's own benefits.
I had several phones over the years including iphone XS Max & iphone 13 pro. Currently have Pixel 7 pro. IMO, the 7 pro is the best phone I have had. IMO I think Pixel is a hybrid of iPhone and Android. Like other Android phones you can customise Pixel. But like iPhone it is basic and made by Google like how iPhone is Apple and like iPhone gets updates and patches on day one.
I use both Iphone as my main phone and Android for entertainment, the vast number of open source apps, modded version or even a third party version of the apps that are subscription free like newpipe or revanced app for youtube and youtube music or Xtra app for twitch, movie hd for movies and series etc.., easy installation of it's apks after downloading outside the playstore, large number of emulator supports, can even patch/mod or edit your own apps using patcher and apk editors, it saved me a lot of money for paying subscriptions and the freedom of use was the best features of it, we can do everything we want on it especially on customizations and the use of FOSS apps,, never had a problem on performance also since i was using a flagship phone it is powerful enough to run this apps without a problem,
Only thing is i have an android but i have a Motorola, all that "i can do whatever I i want with my android and customize the layout like an iphone" i cant and that's why I want an iphone bc of the quality
I just want a headphone jack in android because i hate Bluetooth earbuds I also want SD card, removable battery, edge panels, variety of hardware and 3rd party apps and chargers and replacement parts, continuous updates like the iphone does, better quality of watches and Bluetooth headphones, etc Also google assistant is MILES ahead than Siri and also its so much eaiser to travel eith an Android internationally (in terms of replacing screens, headphones, chargers, getting sim cards etc) I also wosh android improved their native text messaging system so i don't have miss out on iphone features such as FaceTime, Airdrop and emoji reactions, swndjng images, voice messages, gifs and videos I also hope Android makes better air tags
9:10 how did you make your phone look like that.
That's Nothing OS in dark mode with Nothing's icon pack installed. Background is one of the ones that comes with that OS. You can learn more about that phone in the video we did of it: kzhead.info/sun/dtKahbaFhWujgJs/bejne.html
@@6MonthsLater awesome sauce. Tysm
With iphones you know what you're getting and what you're not, plus I can't trust phones that have a reputation of lying on Geekbench test, like why?
Best choice, both! I was Android only for SO long, but tech is tech and I love it all, I've carried both for 5 years now.
Iphone 15pro Max in India is $1900 vs $1200 in USA... most people in India buy it just as a status symbol...i have seen many iphone users mostly use google services like Gmail, Drive, Google photos, YT music, Gpay, Google maps, Chrome, and 3rd party messaging apps like whatsapp... there is no incentive to use apple services and products in India as they are more expensive, and products such as apple Pay, Facetime, i-message, and apple maps are not widely used and doesnt work well in India.
If android have similar feature like airdrop 🥺
If you’re going to say a iPhone kinda works then let’s say that they both kinda work
Latest Android SoCs are blazing fast and Samsung has a great ecosystem too with devices like televisions as well so not all the arguments in favour of Apple stick.
Android. I absolutely hate how limiting iOS is. Android is a proper operating system while iOS is a toy OS
then dont use it, nobody is forcing you to
There’s been an analogue of the true tone on Android for a long time, it’s just called differently)))
In 10 years I never see updates for the Apple apps if your Apple fan hotel which one almost all of them only apps the updates are podcast sometimes and Safari
Me personally I like both but I don't see myself going back to iPhone any time soon.
Idk if someone knows that but has android more user worldwide than ios? 🤷♂️
Obviously
Maybe because way more phones run on android?
