You can adjust flashlight intensity in the control center (top right) by holding flashlight icon, by default it's set on medium intensity.
Exactly
By default it should be on maximum intensity and should come up with a GiF that instructs the user about intensity tweaking
Yes, but I feel it should be set to maximum by default
Thanks for teaching this! New iphone user here since last October and this is something I didn't know
yeah i was thinking the same that he mightve had it on a lower setting
Literally got my iPhone 13 pro yesterday and I’m blown away with how smooth and fluid everything is. Even as I’m typing this, it’s crazy. I love it, well worth the purchase!!
@Brah im a pretty poweruser and i get like 7 hr SOT easily, sometimes even more..i can easily get through the day
@@iwald0 What phone did u had before u go the iPhone?
same! i went from s10+ to iphone 13 and i agree its soooo smooth!!!
same here, got the alpine green 13 pro last week and 7 days later, i’m still amazed at how smooth everything is. The cameras are FANTASTIC and the batttery lasts so long. Love the iPhone 13 pro.
@@Sabre912 that's probably the 120hz screen. Felt the same moving from s10 to s22.
So happy to see this as I'm in the same boat, just switched to iphone 13 Pro Max earlier this year. Overall happy but yeah that lightning port is infuriating. Literally every other device I use on a daily basis charges with type-C. Hoping this EU thing results in a type-C iphone
Mag Safe and wifi connecting to your PC/Mac. They're gonna dodge that usb-c
@@meesun2060 we'll see, no wired fast charging is a deal breaker. That'll make this my first and last iphone
USB 2.0 interface on a $1000+ phone in 2022 is BEYOND RIDICULOUS. Mind-fucking.. But Apple, right..?
they have usb C to charger but not to phone haha the most annoying thing is those cables break internally extremely fast, and i already have some problems with it any i never use it anywhere else than at my home in one and only place. funny enough the cable of my previous android smartphone from huawei is lasting longer 2-3years now without a scratch, since it is a bit thicker than apples lightning cable which is too thin for my likings
@@knightnxk2906 the cable lasted me 7 year tf you mean breaking extremely fast
I switched from Android to iPhone SE, and was impressed. I upgraded to the iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I am beyond impressed. The battery life is INSANE.
I made the switch in 2015 with the iPhone 6. I never looked back.
I have the 8 plus i want to save up for it haha
I bought an iphone for the first time in March but i’m not that impressed. I’m neither smarter nor stronger and i still don’t have super power😅. Alpine Green 13 Pro is fluid and have impressive battery life but i prefer Android. Not interested at all about Smartwatch or Tablet so all the hype about Apple Ecosystem means nothing for me. Iphone is one of the most impressive smartphone but it’s just a phone😉
The battery life of the iPhone 13 pro max is indeed phenomenal!
I get the same battery life, if not more, on my Pixel 7 than on my 12 PRO (even when new).
Hey man, great video. Just wanted to say thanks for mentioning the icon pack, I'm glad you like it. Been a fan for some time now, so seeing the mention really meant a lot. Thank you bro.
Just switched to a 13 Pro Max from an S10. The software experience is next level. There are some things that Android does better but honestly, you can’t go wrong with either operating system. The lack of USB-C is the only thing that has been bothering me. Haha.
The iPhone 13 pro was also my first iPhone. Its really good imo, I had high expectations for it and I was not let down. Transitioning from android to ios was not as bad as I thought. Idk if im going to keep using an iPhone past this but I might.
Same here. Watching this from my iPhone 13 Pro. I switched from OnePlus 7T to this. It’s a huge upgrade but it was definitely worth it.
@@Borderbeach I have the OP7 pro. And tried the iPhone 11. Just couldn't make the switch personally. What is making you go more toward the 13?
@@everadept he/she was able to make the switch as they never used the full potential of an Android phone. File management on iOS/iPad OS will screw you big big time. It's unbelievable.
@@DeepteshLovesTECH Well I’m a software developer who’s used android since version 1.5 (Sony Ericsson Xperia X10), so what are you on about? I used Android to its full extent… and then I got sick of fiddling with annoyances. I switched to iOS. File management on the device is fine, for the rare times I need to.
@@DeepteshLovesTECH I've definitely ran into issues with files. Especially si ce I keep over 1k music tracks on my phone and putting them on was annoying because of itunes
My 13 pro max is the first to phone I see holding onto for a few years. Stupid fast, amazing display, crazy battery life and a fantastic camera overall.
You mention the flashlight is weak on the 13 Pro, I haven't had that issue myself but perhaps it's because you have it on 1/3 brightness? If you long press the flashlight icon (in the control centre) you can change it's brightness
yup. thats it fer sure.
Shoot! You're right! Thanks for bringing this up! I'm still getting used to this phone lol
The flashlight is a bit too bright 😅
@@AtAndrew422 good id rather a subtler flash to conserve battery and reduce heat
@@AtAndrew422 I'd rather buy a phone to be built well instead of a nice camera, that really isnt what I buy a productivity and communication Tool for.
Also, I’m cool with the auto settings of the camera because if I need to go manual, that’s what my pro Sony camera is for. The majority of smartphone users wouldn’t use anything but point and shoot when taking pictures and that’s why Apple has it setup like that in my opinion.
I like that you answer your questions and don't just leave them rhetorical. I really appreciate that :)
Same with me. After having tried a lot of the other major manufacturers available to me I took the plunge and bought the 13 pro. I have my issues with it for sure but I can see what the fuss is about.
Awesome mic 🎙 quality! You got my SUB just within the first 10 seconds
The jump to iPhone is always daunting for hardcore Android users, speaking from experience. Honestly every since I switched I can't go back Android. With that said, Apple really needs to switch to C on the 14.
lmao lightning user
They'll be switching on the 15

For 13 years, I was exclusively an Android user. On 5/2, I got my first iPhone. The 13 Pro Max. So far, I love it. The only thing is the multitasking or lack thereof. Might I add I have to use a separate adapter to listen to my headphones.
I just love it how you can use iPhones for a long time and still be happy with it. I have a iPhone XR for years now and my battery health is still at 86% and works flawlessly. Everything just works. Nothing lags unlike my Galaxy S8+ and nothing bugs out. What is the best part. I bought it used for 150€ just because there is a small crack in the right corner of my phone.
Glad you’ve enjoyed it. I switched out to Android and stayed there for the Note 9, through to the s20u. Migrated back for the 12th gen mini and went nuts for the 13 PM. Both systems are great. Both have drawbacks. Everything is compromise. Time to add a watch :3
Something that I’d like to point out (from MY experience) is that my apps rarely ever crash when using an iPhone. This is something that never gets brought up when talking about apple but it seems to be a very common issue with other smartphones.
Nice video, but I'd just like to point out that losing Whatsapp chats when switching from iOS to Android and vice versa isn't an iOS problem or an Android problem, it is a Whatsapp problem and a lot of other competing apps do retain chats when switching platforms
However im doubtful if it wouldve been such a problem if you had better access to the file system in iOS..
@@Pindamann I wondered the same, but in that case even transferring chats from iOS to iOS would’ve been a problem I reckon
@@Pindamann Doubtful
@@Pindamann i have my android chats as a file in my iPhone, still can’t transfer it.
@yogiraj beknalkar i used the same program and it transferred all of my WhatsApp chats.
I got the 12 Pro then 13 Pro. Longtime android user here. Loved it. Got iPad Pro and new MacBook since.
you can access some of the camera controls you mentioned like exposure and f-stop by swiping up on the viewfinder
Really good video, I appreciated your candor. I was surprised at your thoughts on the camera. It's crazy what phones cost these days, I mean you could buy a really good camera for the price. Anyways, thanks for the info.
Wow, I found this video to be noticeably excellent I. Every way….content was relevant, script well written, presentation was superb, lighting and set design perfect, … this is professionalism at work
the quality of your video is insane. loved it.
I’ve been using iPhone before, but then i switched to google pixel 4. It was truly great experience and didn’t hurt me after XR(face unlock on 4th pixel series is definitely good lol) Couple of days ago i bough regular iPhone 13. Well…it was pretty difficult to get used to 60Hz and lack of customization, but i’m happy to get back.
honestly the best review in youtube for someone on the fence with this phone. thanks for making this!!!!
Nice review. I just got my first iphone last week which is also the 13 pro. I admit, I do miss the Android themes a lot. Customizing an iphone is really a pain. I hate the shortcuts notification that piles up each time I open an app. Once I thought my phone was broken because no badge notif appear on my apps, only to realize they are only shortcuts 🤦🏻♀️ Anyway, enough of the rant. I LOVE faceid. It just works! I'm amazed it works in the dark! It works so well that I don't even feel like my phone is locked. I did miss the fingerprint sensor on first few days but I've moved on.
The most honest review I've ever seen ..no biasm towards or against and acting involved
Great video, thoughtful answers and detailed review. Love your voice btw, stay blessed! ❤
About to get my 13 Pro and I find your honest opinions to be illuminating. Subbed!
Finally an unbiased review! Good job!
switchced from 13 years of Android to the Android 13 Pro, went all in with the watch and iPad Pro M1 12.9”. Have thoroughly enjoyed it and won’t be switching back any time soon unless there is a foldable that hits it out of the park
Really nice video mate, great job
Exactly the video I was looking for!!
The photos you’ve taken with your iPhone in this video are amazing.
Thank you for addressing the call quality, most reviews I see never mention it.
brother i think you were using the flashlight under it's lower setting cause this shit be illuminating my whole house at night
Fair, insightful discussion. Thanks for this. 👍
For WhatsApp, use backuptrans, it works very well in transferring from android to iOS
The photos you've taken are beautiful!
man, your voice is 10/10. I wish you could narrate my life (or maybe audiobooks)
I am switching to iPhone 13 pro in June, I can't wait to get it. LOVE THE GRAPHITE VERSION.
I’m currently using the iPhone 13 Pro Max and I couldn’t be happier. When they say it just works they mean it. I used to have an android and just got tired with all the bloat ware on it. I have never looked back.
It’s a great phone I have had the 13 pro for 7ish months now my battery is still at 100% battery life (idk how). The 120hz is amazing. I would say don’t upgrade if you have anything 11 and up that’s still useable and it gets the job done for you. I would say the only thing bad is if you don’t have a case the side is a finger print Magnet. No usb c (I personally don’t care but others do).
Less than a month ago I got the exact phone the iPhone 13pro my first iPhone, but in Gold, and I can say everything you experienced I have the exact same feeling word for word
You're the first person who's mentioned the issue with iCloud for Whatsapp. Thanks for this comprehensive review.
I really on the bridge on switching to an iPhone. Waiting for that USB-C. Up until now, I used an iPad. Never felt the need to have in a ecosystem with my Pixel 5. Google services are synced everywhere anyways, Which I loved. But I've been just super curious about the ecosystem since getting the new MacBook Pro from work. I swear I love this laptop. My poor custom build pc doesn't even get any playtime anymore
It'll also be my first iphone, after years using android. Can't wait to see it coming
Great review! Been looking forward to buying one. Now I'm rushing.
It’s funny you uploaded this today. Just this morning, I slid my 13 Pro Max 6 inches across a table at my university and got multiple deep gouges in the display. Other than that, it’s the best phone I’ve ever had
Great comprehensive review - thanks you.
Not my first iPhone but I’ve had the XS Max since it first launched. Long paid off and I haven’t found a reason to upgrade it works so well. I’ve also heard newer model screens are harder to crack but easier to scratch. So I’m really hesitant to move away from my current model. Can’t think of a good reason to even though I put a new one in my cart every year and then back out. 😅
going strong with xr
• Full-Cover Tempered Glasses from Spigen & dbrand • dbrand skin • Silicon Cases like those from Apple or Ultra Hybrid Cases from Spigen Though, using an iPhone X
iPhone 13 pro user here, previously user of an iPhone 8: The frame is a scratch magnet but nothing a case can solve and the display has not a single scratch after 7 months of use (at the time of this comment). The phone has great battery, usually last about 10 hours for me but I’m not a heavy user, some days the phone last all day long, has a great camera and it really feels good overall. It’s pricey but I can honestly recommend this phone 😊
Wait till September. Once the 14 is announced the 13 will be made $100-$200 cheaper for sure
I usually upgrade because the battery gets bad but this time I’ll upgrade to the max version so I can upgrade every 4-5 years, currently I have the iPhone 11
your videos high definition looking amazing .. please tell me which camera model you use
Amazing review as always.
This was such a refreshing and extremely thorough review for people like me who've never owned an iPhone but have been curious about switching. You touched on issues that I didn't even think of. Great job!
Would have to say about the scratches note with heavy use like being put in my pocket ect after 10months 0 scratches the Ceramic Shield really is a game changer coming from previous iphones
The low light camera or dark mode is set up for an automatic transmission you can manually adjust it by pressing the dark mode button in the camera app and use the slider. Took me a bit to figure it out too.
I'm switching to Apple as well getting this same phone in Alpine Green 🍏... I do appreciate how intuitive it is ... Like the video 🔥
First, my Samsung A8 was slowier. Second, i got my last Security Update. Third, i saw Alpine Green. End of March, i bought my first ever Iphone.
You can increase the brightness of the flashlight, you need to go into the control center, press and hold the flashlight button, then set it to the highest
About the pink tint display issue,It's a problem with amoled technology cause by uniformity problems it is a lottery sadly.Glad that you managed to fix it :)
Apple support is great, I got an entire new phone when I took mine in for a screen not working, I went in negative minded because I heard or actually read on social media how bad Apple support was and I was scared to like come out of pocket to fix my issue. Turned out 10 minutes in and I was walking out with a new device.
Sir, this was the only unbiased review for an iPhone that I've ever seen.
Please make a video about getting used to and how the apple ecosystem is. I'm planning to switch to apple as well for just the better quality of products and the technological leaps they've made.
Previously owned a Note 8, then an S9 and last year switched to the 12 mini, because of the form factor. I have to say ios really has the no frills, it just works phone that feels absolutely smooth regardless of the app you're using. I see myself keeping this for the next 3 years and hopefully they continue with the Mini design (fingers crossed on the SE adopting the mini lineup). I can never go back to Android. I love the customization and I did everything from editing widgets to using different roms.. I gotta say at one point it became a novelty rather than something you look forward to using. Apps bogged down in samsung and felt really slow after a year of use.
This is my first iPhone too ..I use cycling gloves and I really disappointed in screen touch sensitivity almost every time I need to take them off but on in all I really like it
It really is all about the ecosystem especially with the new macs that have came out and the features they released (last year?) for easier airpods switching. Between my iPad Pro, my M1 MBA, my iPhone 13 Pro and my Airpods Pro, I can be doing something on my laptop, then easily pick up my tablet and walk to the couch and continue what I was doing without even taking out my headphones. I can also leave those two things where they are and continue on my phone as I leave. I can be texting someone on my phone and pick up my mac and continue the conversation without an issue. Taking phone calls while my phone is across the room because my airpods are already in and i'm already working on my mac is also something that is pretty cool. Those kinds of integrations are the reason I stay with Apple. That is not to say they don't make me angry or I don't regret the lack of customization sometimes but it is worth it for the most part.
The iphone 13 pro is my first iphone since the iphone 6 and i can say im not dissapointed at all switching from a galaxy s10 ive had for the past 3 years.
I just love this video
I was using OnePlus phones for a long time. My last phone was a OnePlus 7 Pro (When OnePlus was at its peak) after 2 years I started noticing the OEM updates were messing up the phone and over Oxygen OS was starting to get buggy and intrusive with ads. Now I use the iPhone 13 Pro and it is a breath of fresh air. I was worried about the notch as I was going from an OP7 Pro which had nothing on the display but the notch seems to disappear when you start using the phone. The other thing I was worried about was charging speed as OP used a 30-watt charger but the battery life on the iPhone easily lasts 1.5-2 days and the 20-watt charger gives you a pretty quick charge.
I'm going from Oneplus 7t to the iphone 13 pro too. Any update on how the transition was for you? :)
i made the switch from oneplus 7t to Iphone 13 days ago.
I was considering getting an iPhone 13 mini just because of its size and I came across this video. After watching it, I can certainly say I won't be switching to an iPhone. This video just reiterated the reasons why I never wanted to switch to an iPhone in the first place. Even though I've always wanted to get a phone the size of an XZ1 Compact and the 13 mini is the only phone that size, I realized comfort and ease of use without hassles matter more than just the size of the phone.
New to this channel and I'm definitely here to stay
Good review. To support your comments the camera default output crushes shadows all the time. For some reason the HDR just isn't good. You can brighten up in post but you have to do this nearly all the time to get a pleasing photo. Details though, you can't get back, compared with pixel 6/pro it just doesn't compete. If the 14 pro's sensor improves these points then it would be a much more complete package.
This is exactly me 1 year back. Been a big Android/Microsoft fan my entire life but I couldn't take the subpar experience and keep supporting Google year after year. Last year made the switch and within 1 year, all my devices except Google Home is on Apple platform .
Another itroll posting a fake comment...
Problem with Apple is the closed nature. Harder for enthusiasts and people with specific needs. Apple silicon is amazing but wish they'd open the floodgates and be more consumer friendly. It's honestly quite selfish and shitty of Apple to not have usb-c yet on the iPhone. That will be a nice step in the right direction to get me to switch over.
Just two little comments. I had the same issue with WhatsApp when switching to my iPhone 12 Pro and (frustratingly) I found out that WhatsApp has a feature which allows you to switch between the two eco systems, it’s under the backup banner in the WhatsApp settings (you have to do it on your old phone I think). The other thing is that you really don’t need to shut any apps on iOS, it took me a while to get used to but the ram management is excellent and I haven’t seen a difference in battery life between when I cleared my apps and when I didn’t (though I do get why just as from a OCD kinda standpoint you would want your app tray cleared 😂)
Your shirt, your watch, and the phone..all blends beautifully 😂😂
I’ll be upgrading from the iPhone 7 to the 14 this year…only reason: after 6 years of use I won’t be getting the IOS16 update. Now that’s a life cycle I am so grateful for
In December was when I got my first IPhone as well, 13 pro is very beastly
I'm kinda frustrated with the current smartphone market. Still using my Oneplus 7T. Repaired it myself after dropping it. During the time I was waiting for the screen to arrive, I switched back to my HTC 10, which I was totally fine with, until Google decided to "ban" it. Idk what happened, but I can't log into any Google apps anymore. Google support told me to factory reset, but I rather switched to my OP. Would like to have a new phone at some point, the HTC taught me how nice it is to have a somewhat compact formfactor, a headphone jack, a micro-sd-card slot and whatever HTC does to the audio is also pretty cool. Only downsides were mediocre performance in games, having the screen brighter than minimum really puts a toll on the battery, so do games and KZhead. But as I'm on my phone too much anyways and kind of addicted tbh, it was very refreshing. Really wish that the smartphone market will return to it's former glory, some day. For now I'm probably using/repairing (also not updating) my OP as long as possible. When I'm forced to upgrade, I'm thinking about buying some old Android phone from eBay and rooting it or even using a custom rom. Maybe another HTC 10 or a phone with removable battery. I just wanna keep the data of my current phones though.
I have been using iPhone since the 4s and I would never been able to switch. Love the OS and jailbreaking is awesome.
Having experienced both OS, the iPhone is the comfortable choice. It may not have alle the Features some are wanting or even expecting but it’s the best for people that don’t want to worry about anything. That’s what I’m all about
I also just switched from android (never switched before) to IOS recently so… what a perfect timed upload :/ for me tho, I love both os, Iphone is built sooo well, that the reason I picked it up is that on the store where I held the demo, Iphone just built better than all the other Android device, I love airdrops, Imessage, the haptics like when you’re scrolling something it feels like you really scrolling something (lol), and ofc optimization is king (60hz was never been this smooth guys)… but Eber is true, where Android is just more customizable… truly the one thing that I miss from Android is that I can change my custom dns on chrome aand, just be able to download youtube videos and other apks easily
Another itroll posting a fake comment...
which iphone?
I think it's good that he mentioned the call quality, since most phone reviews don't mention it at all
Thanks For Being Honest We Appreciate ❤️ Your Hard Work 😓
Honest and Great review.! Specially as per the Android user perspective.
Love the video. Although for me the pixel phones aside from the fit and finish level, have been the smartphone experience I have ever had. I honestly just cannot get on with iOS, I find it frustrating and unintuitive by comparison to the pixel flavour of Android. I find that third party app integration into the OS is dreadful and how the notifications operate are handled to be shocking. The pixel experience is buttery smooth and I find the phone works around me and how I wish to use it with far less complexity. However this is just my opinion and others will choose to differ here. I have a MBP 14" but I can never see myself getting on with iOS.
Same, I mean it sounds like the latest iOS version is better than the one I used to use (10.3.4), but it still can't match Android's customization and file management. I still remember literally spending 3 hours trying to get a custom ringtone on my iPhone 5... I now use a Pixel 6 Pro and I'm not going back unless Apple changes some of iOS's quirks and gives me a good enough reason to. Btw how's the MacBook/MacOS compared to Windows? Does it work well with an Android phone? I use my (6 year old Windows) laptop for video editing, but the performance just isn't there and the M1 Max looks really good for the job.
@@jerrywu615 I agree, but you know what I love about the Pixel 6 that goes massively untold, is just how smart it is, the built-in AI services, combined with the Google services has got my by the claws, I just don't ever see myself leaving the Pixel platform, even if the phones just can't match the fit and finish of Samsung or Apple. It's so intuitive to my needs, that I would bet good money that no two Pixels operate in the same way aside from the basic operations. By comparison I find iOS rudimentary, although that is by design as their key focus is just simply integrating their iPhone to their network of devices and services, therefore Apple do not really have a huge incentive to reinvent their OS. Google on the otherhand is designing a portable platform as an extention to tightly integrate their AI and Google services, which uniquely positions themselves to reinvent the smartphone OS through ambient computing that tend to fade away into the background. Everything just seems to work without any form of resistance. Unfortunately there aren't any meaningful Android integrations to speak of, I just use Google's browser for Duo, Messages, Keep, Photos, Mail etc. I do miss Windows 11 (especially the Phone companion app) massively, I find it far more intuitive, however you just can't beat the 16" MBP M1 Pro hardware and the level of efficiency and performance you get from it. Just an amazing piece of kit. Not to mention the fit and finish (comparable to the MS Surface series).
Never had a problem with lightning on my 13 pro max as i've switched to wireless charging w magsafe. The battery is absolutely insane that i can just use it for 2 days and i just need to charge at night
Same here, i just bought my first iphone after using numerous android phones since htc one S. so far so good, loving the camera and still getting used to iOS. about the whatsapp, i bought a software that enables me to transfer the whatsapp messages from my android to my iphone. a bit of a hassle, but yea it got the job done
What software do you buy?
Neat n clean video, keep it up
Nice video! Where you get that wallpaper on pixel 6 in 4:20? 😂
Flashlight brightness can be controlled through Control Center. By default, it is set on the lowest.
After about 9 years on Android I picked up a 12 Pro Max last year... iOS had changed a lot in that time. I now have a M1 Pro MBP, Apple TV and a Watch to go along with the iPad and AirPods I already had... I've been tech guy since I took a programming class in elementary school back in the late 70s and while I miss being able to tweak certain things I've never been more productive nor happy with my setup.
Thank you for this video. I was getting this crazy idea of returning to the IOS system, but thanks to your video I got over it! It reminded me why I left it in the first time! 😉👍
hello, could you share or tell how you got that wallpaper you have on your iphone is that it looks very nice?. good video
Loved the video though!!!
That wallpaper in the pixel is sick bro 4:23
I have a OP 9 Pro and iPhone 13 mini and switch between the two depending on my mood, but I always find myself sticking to Android for longer periods of time. I love the performance, integration, and optimization that iOS has, but it's an absolute pain in the ass trying to transfer music and photos/vids between the iPhone and my PC. I still prefer having actual music files over streaming whenever possible just because of audio quality and the convenience of having the song ready to go, but iTunes keeps glitching out and disconnecting the iPhone 99% of the time. OxygenOS may be a joke after the Android 12 updates, but the customization, split-screen apps, picture-in-picture just makes any sort of multitasking more fluid and enjoyable. As someone who has eagle eyes and enjoy high pixel densities, I also found the 9 Pro display to be much better than the mini's in terms of colors and contrast. I thought the smaller display would help with the lower pixel density on the mini, but I could still pick out the pixels time to time. Ironically enough, even though the 9 Pro has 120hz, either the dropped frames or latency makes it feel less smooth than the iPhone. Battery could honestly be a toss-up depending on priorities and cameras are so good nowadays that it's just stylistic preference, but with quirks on both platforms, I honestly just go with whichever one pisses me off the least in that moment lol
>iTunes keeps glitching out and disconnecting the iPhone 99% of the time. Even on wifi?
Yup :(( I tried almost every solution in Google and just gave up. Maybe it's a sign telling me to get with the times and stream everything lol
@@Salteaa that's definitely weird. My XS never gets disconnected from my iTunes, be it cabled or wifi. I transfer a lot of songs, pictures, and movies and everything is slow but good. Even my iPod Classic never disconnects from iTunes when I sync songs.
the 9 pro gets destroyed by s21u, so you're not even getting the best android experience
Same here. Nothing like files on the device. The ShareIt app can only do so much.
I am so happy I found your video. I am a 4th gen Samsung user I was curious about why people buy iPhones, so I purchased a silver iPhone 13 Pro a couple of weeks ago. I also was very much impressed at the unboxing, the quality and design of the box and the phone itself, a truly eye catcher. The screen is gorgeous (not as good as my S21) and the face recognition is absolutely marvelous. The battery life is great, much better than my S21. The size is perfect, and yep, on the heavier side. Charging is kind of slow (lightening connector), even with my new Anker fast charger. And after 2 weeks, having both phones on my desk, I still grab my S21 to take with me. Its a connectivity/productivity beast, and there is NOTHING I cant do with it. I miss the S-Pen though, I hope Samsung will make smaller phones with the Pen. I need to spend more time on my iPhone to get familiar with the strengths of iOS. Health management is surely one of them (i also bought an Apple Watch, which is absolutely fantastic, and made me retire my Galaxy Watch 4 right away) I dont own a Mac or an iPad, which doesnt help to appreciate the iPhone advantages. Oh. And the camera, the photos are without discussion, great, and video is the BEST. Side by side with Samsung? Tough call. Still figuring it out. Thumbs up. Great video.
🤨 so you retire you Galaxy Watch just because you bought an Iphone and then an Apple Watch😒. Really good for planet.
@@iAfroTech maybe you should recycle your android and come over and join us more sensible grownups….. 🤔
@@mickyarronte320 exactly. If someone switches from Android to iOS, people lose their mind! It’s your money, spend where you see fit!🤦🏻
I've been a iPhone user since my first smartphone (iPhone 3GS) but made the switch to a Google Pixel after being very disappointed with the iPhone 6S. But ever since the iPhone 12 came out I'm thinking about going back.
You don’t need to clear all your apps in the background since IOS and the A series chips in iPhones are great at task management, so that the phone still runs smoothly without much battery drain or lag. But I understand you reviewing it from an Android POV it’s more of a habit thing too😂 most reviews I’ve seen so far is that the 13 Pro series is the most refined and best battery life/display/optimisation of iOS and the Apple experience and I totally agree.
First thing that caught my attention about this video, was the stellar video quality and editing. Good work man🙏
