Why everyone is buying iPhones now: *for aesthetic mirror selfies*
Shhh! Android users (like me) will hear it.
Why is it so true
I agree
nothing can be more truthful
Just for showoff
Social aspect is also heavily underrated especially in western countries I feel like younger generations tend to buy iPhones because of social pressure. There are literally people bullying you if you have an android it’s so weird
I absolutely agree
100% agreed
the green bubble debate especially is so immature and pointless
This, so much this. I turn the group chat green cos I love my Samsungs and hate iPhones. I have people trying to get me to go iPhone but I'll never do it despite literally all my tech being apple aside from my phone.
@@WeSleepForever91 I'm the same way 😂
I literally just switched from my iphone 12 pro max to a galaxy z flip 4 today. I really really love my new phone. Its been really interesting seeing everyone's reaction to me moving from iphone to android. Personall, I enjoy my tech most when its exciting and innovative. I giggle every time I open and close my phone. There's a joy and childlike wonder to this phone that just wasn't there the last time I upgrade. It feels like a new toy that I want to play with, rather than a chore to keep up with whats new. As long as it brings genuine joy into my life, and does the job it needs to do, I don't care about specs, and as long as android keeps making new, fun stuff, I'm gonna stick with it.
Grats on your new phone! Just ordered a Sony Xperia 1 V to replace my Xiaomi 12 phone myself. My first smartphone was an iPhone, swapped that for a Samsung as my 2nd device, and sticked with Android ever since.
But your phone will last half as long as an iphone 😏
same! well I had a samsung phone before the flip 4 but I love it and I wouldn't trade it for anything

In a nutshell, Apple controls the psychology of their customers instead of investing in innovation.
Apple cares about the experience user
They have perfected marketing to 10000%. That being said, people need to start choosing competitors or else the market will get stale. I hope there is a big breakthrough so this stagnation can be done. I'm tired of Apple slowing down innovation. There is definitely an untapped market of people waiting for the next big thing but I feel like it has to be like a new company with the marketing of Apple while having crazy good innovation and that is unfortunately the hardest thing to do. Not to mention building a whole ecosystem like Apple does around that phone.
Thus making their customer more productive, which is the purpose of smartphone to begin with

i live in iran, a 1000$ iPhone is equivalent of an annual salary of someone with average payment here, but still the amount of effort people put in buying an iPhone just to take a selfie in front of a mirror with their iPhone is frankly disturbing, it has become a very luxury status symbol here and its disgusting edit: also more than 80% of apple services like face time and etc... dont even work here so they dont even get the few benefits of the iphone but they still sell their kidney just to be an iphone owner

it’s crazy but it works for the company
@@johnsalamii exactly. if they actually were tech enthusiast and loved the iphone or something that would be totally fine, you should spend money on the things that you actually enjoy, but it really hurts me when someone who dont use their phone at all go to such length just for flexing and taking a selfie

Same in Brazil...
It's extremely baffling how much of a grip Apple has on its user base. I have a top end 2022 flagship Android phone with an awesome camera. At a work event last year a group of colleagues wanted to take a photo and I was keen to offer up my phone for it, and was immediately shunned because it was an android over someone else's base level 3-year-old iPhone, which absolutely did not take better pictures than my phone. I think you're spot on with the aspirational POV, as Android caters to the budget shopper.
How would you send the photo to them while retaining the high quality image? Androids take great pictures but the images get compressed once shared to iPhones. Unless there is an easy method to send it without losing quality?
@@srikarvundavalli5934 That's a generous proposal, except how tedious it is for apple users who can just airdrop photos without the lost of quality.
@@Fojo. I'm an iPhone user, and it baffles me ignorant my colleagues now, none of them know how to airdrop lol, I always end up sharing google links
@@srikarvundavalli5934 it’s such a long process lol. Just airdrop it bro.
The way some apple users are so extreme about the brand can be ridiculous
Not everyone. I switched to Android a few years back and love it. They don't degrade the phones with each "update". And they don't think they still own your phone. Oh, and the notch. I really prefer the tiny holepunch camera.
Switched a couple days to apple from android. Massive step down in phone from my Galaxy 21 ultra to Iphone 14. Day and night in speed, refresh rate, paying for apps... but i needed Anki. That said, I love the feel of the Iphone. Beautiful design, solid features and everything syncs from your phone to tablet, to watch so so easily. Really theyre both great in their own ways, and like many ppl have already said, they both make phone calls 😂
Well ultra is the best samsung and iphone 14 is one of the less valuable iphones unlike the pro and pro max
@@hulda4everthe max won't become as good as the ultra regardless. Especially customizaton

Google needs more top-down experience design. Android has always been derived from Google’s “mined data guides iterative design through Key Performance Indicators” philosophy. This results in too many cooks in the kitchen and jello vision on details that matter.
I rarely see you comment
Google has really messed up their spot in terms of the mobile phone market. Apple is diving in cash right now because of their popularity.

Very well said and I 100% agree.
Really great content - logically rolled out in a concise but impactful way.. Much appreciated
When I switched to iPhone, I mainly did it because it wouldn't deterriorate quickly, it would update for a long time, and quality. My old phone, the S10, overheated constantly, had horrible battery, had severe screen burn in, and had low storage. Maybe it's because it was just a bad phone, and certainly androids are better, but compared to the S10, the iPhone 13 was a godsend. I bought the iPhone 13 with my own money, in midnight, and later on I got a good deal on the budget ipad gen 9 bundled with the 1st gen apple pencil, and bought according screen portectors and cases. It is nice how seamlessly my iPad and iPhone interact with each other.
I think you just got a bad model. Had the S10E, and just upgraded to S24U this week after having the S10 for years. Also, soon, everything else will just work on apple now. Apples being forced to stop blocking everything else now, and stop their walled garden. So win for consumers.
Google pixel 3,4,5 were all better choices for a cheaper phone with better features and a wide compatibility.
@@user-wb2cd9ve6zGoogle Pixels are some of the most unreliable smartphones you could buy. My friend bought a Pixel 8 Pro on launch and it was buggy and overheating, he returned and got another one which also was buggy and overheating. So he returned that and got a 15 Pro Max 😅
Lol ur probably 13
@@eegernadesif they’re outside the US chances are they got the exynos chip which is known for overheating, also the S10 is a few generations behind so there’s that too
I didn't choose Android because of 'excitement.' I chose it for customizability. As a hobbyist composer, I can't set my own music as a ringtone on an iPhone nearly as easily as an Android. Apple is so restrictive and controlling on every aspect of their phones, it just makes sense to use the more flexible Android.
apple sucks and iphone is overrated
YES
plus google pixel phones often have better hardware
That's why I even switched to Samsung UI from Android Stock: too limited even if i had the possibility to install any app... I still find iPhones good Pixels but with the fact that they're not Open to install any APK, they are more espensive and they're also considered "for élite people". I can't understand that... IPhones are made to be locked down to fancy sh*tty HWs and people still justify that... The entire iPhone 14 lineup is a joke except the 14 pro/pro max... Their SW update is still on par with the SW update on Samsung (some features and animations are limited on new lineups)... And the UI is... Horrendous... Still Samsung is no better in some things like for example the decision to remove APTX HD but it is just a single issue... Not tons of issues...
lots of things are limited on iphone but lots of things are also very convenient too as mentioned in this video. do i wish i could easily change ringtone? yes. does it affect my purchase? no.
I was a hardcore android loyalist and even preferred windows mobile over iOS. I finally switched to iPhone a year ago as I couldn’t find any compelling android alternatives. Samsung s22 ultra was costlier than the 13pro and that was the only android phone I would have considered. iPhone has its own limitations but yet very satisfying to use if you can push aside your geeky self
I always used Windows Mobile and then Android. I had an iPad which was very annoying as someone with 30+ years of experience with Windows and further put me off their products. Although some aspects of Apple are good, i.e. the long support cycle, I have an instinctive dislike of their products and their never ending stream of anti-competitive business decisions. Plus having the same phone as everyone else and a status symbol device is a very strong negative for me, I would rather have a Xiaomi or other device which implies some tech knowledge in selecting something non-obvious.

I bought an iPhone back in the day (2019) because I wanted to try it, in previous years I barked and scolded the whole Apple. No one suggested an iPhone to me, but I decided to try to see if it is as good as it is claimed to be, and it happened that when I got it in my hand. I fell in love with this, now I've been using different iPhones for years and I couldn't switch back to Android. From my own experience, everything just works, no lag or freezes. This phone does not offer the same features as Androids, but this one offers a smooth OS and a super fast chip and safe data security

I switched from an iPhone 13 Pro to a Samsung Galaxy a few days ago. I've had iPhones for the last 10 years, and I switched away because I was ready for something new, not because I was upset with Apple. I really love my Galaxy, and I don't foresee myself going back anytime soon. However, I have had multiple people ask me why their texts to me are now green and why the fonts on my SnapChats is weird. Whenever I tell them I got a Samsung, they seem disappointed. That is really odd to me, as it's my phone, not theirs. Edit: for everyone asking, I just got an S22. I know it’s technically a downgrade and the phone was only 4 or so months newer than my iPhone, but I don’t care. I still love my galaxy, and it feels more premium than my 13 Pro.
Its a weird but yeah apple might have created the worlds most influenced consumer base. Which Galaxy do you have?
they seem disappointed because texting an android is a way worse user experience, but apple does that intentionally
Anytime I see a comment like this. I usually say. This person need some mature friends who are not immature.
I ALSO MOVED TO SAMSUNG ANDROID, AM QUITE HAPPY. INTIALLY TOOK TIME TO GET ADJUSTED.
That’s weird with Snapchat, but yo my knowledge the reason other non apple Snapchat’s suck is because they don’t access the full app from the developer kit and apple does. You see androids are open to all manufacturers who have screen sizes of all resolution and sizes so instead of a dedicated app they use a universal android app, but I thought Samsung and Google started to clean this up, I guess not. To sun it up the only 3 things saving apple is : security, stability of apps and blue button as cool factor, but truth is the blue messages is the only thing really saving apple and still the wheels are falling off
Really loved this video. The content here is just great! I really enjoyed all the effort you took to make this informative yet super interesting take. I really appreciate it! Thank you for that for what it worth i felt like it should be mentioned ❤
This feels ai-generated.
I honestly dont understand people still buying Apple phones. They're so tedious. I gave up with them about 3 years ago.
The same reason you like bbc. People have preferences.
I think the only reason Apple is doing well is due to Option Fatigue and Ecosystem advantages. At times people just need less options. If someone wants a new phone, they have many options to choose from and that brings a lot of fear of misjudgement. But with Apple they just need to get the new one or something in their budget because except for number of cameras, not much will be different and once they buy an iPhone they invariably go for other apple accessories without looking at the price.
No, that's not what happens. We all know that they just buy apple products just because they are of fashion these days for some reason. It wouldn't make sense too because it is actually better having more options to get a phone that's fitting you and iphones are overpriced phones with poor performance. U can get an Android phone with 250$ that is better than an iphone with 700$.
@@alexyps2155 no you cant stop lying to yourself 💀
@@alexyps2155 when u look at the specs for the 250$ android ,it’s better but using it irl for everyday things it’s not comparable
@@christopherventura4975 are you serious? With 400$ on apple, you can get a phone with 4h of battery life poor performance and a 5 inch screen not even a good one.

And just to make it clear, iphones might have better software and stuff because I've never tried one but even then specs are literally 90% of the phone. Not good specs=not good phone.
@@alexyps2155 wait, you talk shit about iphone but you've never tried one? how can you know then?
After five years with an iPhone, I decided this year to switch from a 12 Pro Max to a Galaxy S23 Ultra. iPhones are way too restrictive and feel too corporate even with the added options to customize. Most people only get them because its a status symbol.
I love my s23Ultra. I hope you do too
I want to get Android in the future, get off the bin
most people i know use iphones because its easier to use and have proven itself reliable and works well
@@GreatName707for me its actually harder to use. And i have used one for a year. Also Samsung phones are also reliable. So that still doesn't explain shit.
It's just a status symbol nothing special this phone suffocated me went back to android
One major point in the area of stability is software support. Android manufacturers are starting to promise 5 years. Apple has provided 7+ years for ages. This means the price retains much more (because the device remains usable) or, if you don‘t want to swap every other year, an iPhone can cost almost 30% more and still be price neutral.
7+ seems like a stretch, it was a record set by the iPhone 5S It's typically 6 years (security updates included) which is wild
And on top of that, the phone will still degrade over those 2-6 years, so even if you get the latest software, will your phone still run okay?
@@AyeeSecretif you replace the battery once a year of course it will
@@Fllangees Yeah, that's right
@@erich4334 Google is doing 7 years now and Samsung is doing 4 (with 1 extra year of security patches)
My family has iPhones each but I've never been an iPhone user ever since.. Maybe because I'm more on gaming phones. Idk why but using a non-iPhone mobile device has never bothered me at all.

I have used both over the years. Right now I use an iphone for work and it's fine and all. But the level of customization and function I get with my s23 ultra is unmatched and I would never trade it out as my daily driver for an iphone.
same i love having a near blank home screen. i had no idea iphones could not put their apps icons into a folder or hide them. so it always hides their wallpaper.
Yep, both have their pros and cons. While Samsung provides more features, Apple provides longevity.
I'm more productive with my iPhone. Don't want to spend time on customization and troubleshooting like on Android. Most developers make their apps on iPhone first due to stability. Everything just works great!
How often do you actually customise your phone tho everyday? Or once a year?😂
@@Civilian95 personally surprisingly often actually
It's actually quite impressive from a business POV, all this lead Apple to becoming the highest valued company in the world.

🤘👴🤘 Absolutely enjoyed this video, makes allot of sense. I like how he doesn't take sides too.. Good job dude.
I like my iphone well enough, but the fact that i don't have the choice to switch to Android without also migrating a ton of data and account credentials over... makes it feel like a very tough decision to switch, no matter how tempting the hardware is.
yeah... that's probably a big reason why there's not as much switching from ios to android. the wall is too high for some people to climb now.
I've never got an iphone 😂
stop putting your life onto your cellphone. Problem solved
I can't speak to other manufacturers, but when I switched from an iPhone to my current phone fairly recently, Samsung's switching software managed to clean basically all the data off of my iPhone. It even went so far to let you automatically download the Android versions of the apps you had on your iPhone. (If it doesn't exist, it will recommend similar apps) It worked really well, and I highly recommend it if you ever do choose to make the jump.
Another reason I hated the iPhone for. When I switched from my old android to iPhone it was a pain to transfer all my files. Had to go through even more pain to switch back to android . The lack of a proper file manager and pc support just make it even more difficult.
I have owned an Android and used an iPhone for work for the last 10 years, swapping/getting new ones every 2 years, and I would never give up my Android phones to own an iPhone. I love that I can do whatever I want with my phone and not limited to whatever Apple allows me to do. Also having to use all Apple products just to have better compatibility is annoying. I enjoy owning the brand that works for me best from any provider, rather than going with Apple just because it would work best with my other techs.
Cool
To your first point, what would you NEED to do that Apple can’t do? And second point, I have had windows everywhere all my life except my phone, and there really is no quality of life problems. My iPhone wouldn’t gain much by coupling with another Apple product.
I own a moto g stylus phone (Android) and I actually like that better than my iPhone. I can list several problems with iPhones: The grouping for apps is way too small, changing the wallpaper is troublesome, "what does this function do again???", it forces you to put the apps in a certain order (you could change it but it's a hassle to try to get it to your desired spot), and your phone always looks disorganized. However, I really like the airdrop function and the cameras. Those are the 2 things that I like about iPhones that has kept me from yeeting the iPhone out of the window
@@ianvanessen9356 dude , dig a little deeper than that. There is a ton of things Apple locks up. How you would like it if you weren’t an admin on your PC ? Seems like you don’t actually own it right ? Same with iPhone

Apples devices are expensive but they’re all perfect and flawless with each other. Everyone’s right when they say the ecosystem is so deep once you’re in there you can’t get out 😅

@@tohhhype2043 just be honest and say that youre not an enthusiast. the 14 pro is not even in the same realm as the 11. If youre talking about software, of course theyre very similar, apple actually gives their old phones the newest ios updates for years, unlike any android brand.
@@Nao-pj7mc everything my 14 pro does my 11 did im confused as to what you are talking about, what can my 14 pro do that my 11 couldnt?

@@tohhhype2043 I can apply that logic to what can your S23 ultra do that your note 9 couldn’t? Phones nowadays are so tiny in their changes. But to answer your question, iPhone 14 pro (not plus) has a better camera than the 11 and the dynamic island is an amazing idea to keep the bigger hole punch but make it into a solid piece of technology. Do you see the iPhone 11 or any android phone doing that? No. I wouldn’t go from 14 to 15 as the changes are so small, but 11 to 14 pro especially is a massive step up
I came here after another video about Apple products. It blows my mind how Apple uses all sorts of ways and methods to essentially brainwash people into buying and switching over to their products. I used to own Apple products but likely never will again after years of experience. I honestly feel a lot more free and unrestrained no longer using Apple products. I don't care if people bully me for not having an iPhone.
I still get the "you can't afford an iPhone" on occasion....I hit them back with "actually my Samsung (S23U) is more expensive than the Pro Max". Then I get a weird look like the person doesn't believe there's more expensive phones out there.

For me it’s also I prefer updates and knowing my money is still good. I use to always say about why Android is better, but tbh now I want stability. And honestly I like the design of Apple more, and Android phones cost more than the most expensive iPhone. Also it’s pretty nice knowing I can have this phone for the next 5 years if I wanted to and not worry about updates. Or how it has great value, so when I trade it in. The new iPhone gets half off.
I am one of those people with A LOT of disposable income, and yet I never purchased an iPhone in my whole life (I'm still using a Galaxy Note 9 since 2018 and I am only considering upgrading it now because it no longer receives security updates). I also have a first generation iPad Pro that I bought 6 years ago, in January 2017, which, again, I'm considering upgrading now because of the limited amount of RAM which is starting to affect even basic things like email usage. Most people in my place would probably buy the latest and greatest phone/tablet each year. And, don't get me wrong, I've been an IT professional for the past 20+ years, I am in the 'power user' category! So, I still don't understand WHY some people think they 'need' the latest and greatest device each year (even though, statistically, most people only use their devices for social media).
In 1,90,000₹ expensive premium iphone misses these necessary day to day life features... - Call recording (most important for us practically) - IR blaster (remote control for TV, AC, set top box) - File Manager - Fingerprint Scanner security - Scroll button in Gallary App for directly go to downside - Simple "back" button (5000₹ android phone also provides this 😂) - 2k Quad HD display (for this price point 1080p is not justified) - No charger in box for 2 lakh Rs phone.... what a joke! 😂 - No type C charging port - No 3.5mm earphone jack - No MicroSD card slot for extra storage - forget about Customization, themes and Freedom like Android - No split screen Apps feature like Android for multitasking -No pip (picture in picture mode) - No punch hole display.... old notch will renamed to dynamic island This fraud company must be banned who fooling and looting people only by their marketing and advertising tactics. 😠

Yeah, smartphones need longer software support. My iPhone 6 Plus from 2014 is still getting security updates in 2023, and the 2015 generation got iOS 9 through 15. It’s not my main phone anymore(I use the 13 mini), but I still use it around the house. My friend gifted me a flagship Galaxy S8 that got like 2.5 years of updates, and my friend’s “flagship killer” One Plus 6(2018) was bricked by the sunsetting of 3G less than 4 years later. That iPhone 6 is still fully capable of calls on cellular networks, something most would say is an integral function of a smartphone. Not every iOS use upgrades like a rabid animal, though some certainly do. I just like my stuff to last. The 2018 iPad Pro is worth a look, as it is almost as capable as the new ones with how iPadOS stands currently. I got one(256 and cellular!) for $350/400 a year or so ago to replace my ancient iPad 2, lol. Needless to say, I use my iPad a lot more than I ever did. All storage options other than the terabyte get 4GBs, which is double the amount of the model I’m sure you have(9.7”). I won’t lie, I am tempted by that iPad mini 6th gen. I’ll get one when the iPad Pro gets old.
Am an Android user, but I can't get over the fact that if I had iphone I could do this and that with my friends, the apple ecosystem is so tight - once your in there's no way out 😂. One of the reasons I haven't switch yet

I have a windows pc, an s23 ultra, and a galaxy watch 5. the only apple product i use is my air pods, and that's only because i hate the headphones with the silicone tips to fit into your ear. my ear isn't shaped for those so i can't use them. the old school air pods 2 fit perfectly though, so use those. beyond that i'm free of apple and it's nice. until apple breaks out a folding phone or something, i'm done with all that.
I was long time Android user. I bought my first iPhone recently. This was money well wasted. At least for me, the Android user experience was much better. This is my last iPhone for sure.
Super and thoughtful presentation; thank you. One other thing you didn’t mention is the consistently high level of security maintained by Apple. The company is clearly at a great advantage in this area by virtue of the tight control it maintains over the Apple ecosystem. I would guess that security is something which many users consider very important these days - particularly those buying at the higher end of the market.
Was a die hard android purist but bought an iPhone for iMessage. The lack of all the customization options and fun modding capabilities sucks but I’ve come to love the iPhone for its simplicity. It’s a very good product all around. It’s hard to understand unless you’ve owned one.
@@blehhh74 Exactly. Both options are good just depends on what you want out of your phone.
I do miss the times when Android phone manufacturers took bigger risks with their designs/features. I wonder if this rather-recent unwillingness to take risks is partially linked to Covid-related slowdown of the economy and quarantines. As for iPhone's networking effect. Being from a country where the default messaging/video chatting tools are the messaging apps (WA/TG) but still with a fairly large share of iPhone users, I've never seen anyone actually use iMessage and FaceTime (I'd never even heard about the iMessage Android incompatibility thing before the MKBHD's video on the blue and green bubbles). So I'd say the networking pressure is generally more of an American iPhone user thing.
LG took risk and no bought them. R&D vs marketing.
true same here in the philippines
I think he's spot on in saying risk doesn't sell. There are no new "wow" features that people want - people want better camera, better battery life, and their apps that they were using before, that's all. So manufacturers make just that. I am one of these people because the phone is now a fixed part of my life. I have no interest playing around with the tech - I want it to change as little as possible, because I spend my time on other things. Even apps - I don't like when they keep updating, every time they break stuff - I just want to keep using the same UI... or they release a new version of iOS and there's a ton of needless changes - I'd rather it stays the same. I just need it to work, and get out of my way.
я бы сказал, на своём опыте, используют FaceTime и iMessage, но не супер много
Im not sure if you watched the video or not but Android phone makers dont take big risks anymore because the nature flow of the market limits it to a small userbase and not to people who are already comfortable with what they have

I switched from my Samsung S8 to the iPhone SE 2022 two years ago but it wasn't even because I got it at a price after rebate of $279. I only had my $850 Samsung S8 for about 19mos before it became obsolete. They quit supporting it with even Urgent updates 2yrs after it first came out and since I bought mine late it turned into a doorstop early. It wasn't even paid for yet! My SE3 gets support for about 6yrs. Apple usually has a Security Patch in days when new malware is identified. It took Samsung about 3 months for the same process because not only did they have to wait for Google's patch, but then they had to program it to work on Samsung's proprietary overlay of the user interface. I will never go back just for these security reasons even though I loved my S8. I'm very happy with the iPhone SE. Another bonus, try calling Samsung Customer Service (if it even exits). I can get an English speaking human iPhone Tech on the phone just about anytime I choose to call or I can stop at an Apple Store to speak to someone in person.
I bought an iPhone 11 pro in July 2020 and it's still competitive to November 2023 mobiles even though it's not having 5G and it's so smooth to hold in my hand 😍
Yeah at this point its kinda disturbing how even young kids in my country rather buy an iphone xs that is 4 years old and not buy a new phone like a pixel 5A, pixel 6A or a poco f4 which are all better than that old iphone but as you argued its for the name and status, props to Apple for making it that way it's not easy it requires courage and taking huge risk in an unforgiving market.
I think Arun broke it down quite well. What seems like anti-consumer at first assures good user experience in the long term. Unsatisfied users tend to change things but satisfied users stick to their brand. And actually same happened to me. I was unsatisfied with androids glitches and bugs. Switched from Huawei to Samsung still had glitches and bugs. Then switched to apple and they never gave me a reason to switch back. I heard the glitches and bugs are fixed now, but I’m happy with the iphone. This creates the loyalty and therefore status I think.
XS is 4 years old?!?!
Are they better tho? They just all embellish with android crap. Iphone is way more user friendly and thats why people get it
@@GameOver-nm2us yes. Atleast
@@asant90 do you compare pixel 6a for example to iphone xs ? i mean sure iphone is user friendly but android 13 on 6A is also incredibly smooth and bug free, you could compare 6A or 5A to iphone SE 2022 but not to xs , thats an insult.
it's really scary how much control some brands have on their consumers if you think about it , imagine being looked down upon just for not having an iphone... iphones especially have become a status symbol and it's unhealthy imo Edit: it's not only for iphones, but any brand in general just to clarify

@@charliehvit1583 some boomer who not familiar with tech you mean
Great video. Another reason is that updates are available for years and years, not 2 or 3 and Apple supports the older models generally and responsibly for far longer, leading to reductions in waste. Also, the darned things work- all the time. They don't break down or have lots of bugs. Also, there are fewer malware attacks, you know that if your mum/ girl/friend has one and wants to know how to fix something, you can talk them through it over the phone, literally, it is the commonness of experience. Lots of reasons really.
Hi! Great vid! Looks like you were using the pro max and lately newer videos show what looks like the smaller 14 pro. Curious why you went to the smaller. I did the same as well.
More reasons: As the sales volumes of new iPhones models started plateauing a few years ago, Apple started introducing more iPhone models at much more price points as compared to earlier, and especially at the lower end of the spectrum. Think iPhone XR, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone SE and reduced starting prices of iPhone 13.. This has helped bring in more people into the ecosystem and make them spend more money on the recently introduced 'Apple services' vertical
I can agree. I bought the iPhone 13 Pro Max for $832 in excellent condition verses it being 1200 when it first came out . To me that was a good deal I couldn’t refuse it🤷🏾♀️
Very true! I had an iPhone, left the ecosystem and then came back with the iPhone XR and been here ever since. Want to leave though because I feel like they can do way more with their devices but chooses not to.
Agree. Apple gets more people into its ecosystem by selling lower spectrum iPhones to attract Android users. Once they have switched to using iPhones, that’s when Apple makes the big bucks through its “Apple Services” like Apple Music, iCloud+, Apple TV+, Apple Pay, etc… That’s how Apple has been playing the long game.
Especially because you can always buy an old model for cheap and it will still work and get updates for a few years
The BIGGEST problem I have with ios is the lack of 3rd party support. I want to install mods, use termux to build my apps on my phone, install anything from anywhere I like.
I feel the same, I will never switch to apple until they fix this
There's a thing called jailbreak, exactly what the name suggests, it unlocks the full capacity of the phone
I also did the switch to apple 2 months ago after using android for 13 years now and I’m not missing it. It has its benefits but you get around everything somehow :)
@@Unkn0wnz_anon there's a thing called root for Android too and it unlocks even more. Jailbreaking is not a solution to compete with what android supports natively.
People that want to do this are a small minority. Most people just want a phone that does what phones do very well. Apple has mastered how to cater to the latter very well, and it's clearly a winning formula.
I love how not all of his videos have to have a sponsor. This was a cool one 👌
iPhone catching up is the reason I finally switched with the 14 pro max. And dude i freaking love it. Especially after always having glitchy experiences with android. Everything just WORKS with iPhone.
Which android phone did you have previously?
Im an iphone user, and my wife has a galaxy s23. it does annoy the heck out of me when people are comparing 300$ android phones to a 700$ ish iphone. Dude you paid double, had you bought a 700$ ish samsung, it works just as well

The comment of " Apple allows" is really telling, that is why I choose to stick with Android, Apple just seems to have too much control over the devices they make, and I get really irritated that if I buy a very expensive phone from Apple, they are then going to tell me how I can or cannot use it.

Apple barely control anything, they limit you but never control. They actually give you a lot of freedom within that limited area. I prefer this then the anything goes approach of Android because I'd rather not beta test a feature that Apple will get in a few years done better. Also Apple Music is one of the best things Apple has done in the recent years. They instantly matched Spotify on quality and features whilst seamlessly integrating iTunes into it.
Yeah, they make sure, you can't install shady apps, and apps what can make the OS itself unstable. Terrible choice, really.
@@burns0100 they literally banned some apps from their only store on their phones because they didn't like the developers of that app... Is that freedom?
@@merlinwarage that's their propaganda BS to argue against allowing sideloading The average person who wants to sideload already knows what they're doing Their actual reason is to cash out on almost EVERY purchase made on an iphone with their in app purchase tax.
I think two other hand in hand factors Apple has are their physical retail stores, which I think only Google has a couple Pixel stores and their in house trade in program, which is really good. Being able going to a store with a phone in hand and walk out with a new phone in just a few minutes without having to deal with the carrier salesmen is actually a huge benefit to Apple
True that. That's why we be normal again as pre-pandemic without being techno dependent.
Xiaomi has a lot of them in europe
Well, in a regular electronic store one can test the most popular devices
I can't agree, i see your point, but as an android user who is too poor to get an iphone, what? there are plenty of places where i can walk in and get an idk xiaomi 12t pro or something, and EVEN THEN i would NEVER do that because it costs like 200$ more if i were to get it from a real life store instead of ordering it online.
This is true when it comes to the U.S. Google and Samsung need to build more stores here.
Always love your posts. Combination of technology knowledge, market intel, economic sense and return of investment suggestions. Something other reviewers should have. Keep it up mate and thanks for yet another great post!.
the another important fact is Apple lets developer create their apps on iPhone with huge optimisation and integration through several APIs. This makes User Experience on iOS far better than Android even if you're using the same apps. Try to shoot the same photo with Instagram or Snapchat apps from both iOS and Android and you will see iOS Apps will capture better photos even though iPhones have worse hardware specs. Even scrolling Facebook is not the same. The UX on iPhone is insane.

My first iPhone was iPhone 3G and I’m still iPhone owner and my latest is IPhone 12. What I love about iPhone is that you don’t have to upgrade every time they release a new phone but it’s still receiving updates and it work perfectly but I noticed recently the quality of Apple dropped a bit compared with the old ones.
Hey Arun!!! Would like to know when the phone of the year awards video is gonna drop in? Hope it's the S23U which I'm a proud owner and fan of 😄

@@Slain01 Yup. Average brain of Apple user is "I have a good camera". What about Samsung Galaxy S series? What about Google Pixel? People are bandwagoners, or at least most of them are. I owned variety of phones including Iphone, but every two years I change it for different brand to make my experience revitalized. People buy Iphone for the sake of having Iphone, not because they have thoroughly investigated their preferences and what they really want. This message doesn't mean that Iphone is bad, far from that, it's the smoothest phone with a very good camera and software, but not leaving space open for other options is something I could never understand.
I feel like with Gen Z, it's more of a fashion statement/status symbol type thing. I'm at uni right now and I'm 30 but most people around me are 20. They don't care about the best features or the best camera or customisability or any of that stuff. I notice the older students are fine buying Android or iPhone but the younger ones are often insistent that they have an iPhone and nothing else will do even if a specific Android would be better for their own needs
I'm part of Gen z but I prefer Android. I'm the different one. Everyone in my class wants an iPhone because of status etc... I don't... I like to be free and do whatever I want with my phone. If I'm going to spend 600+$ on a phone, I need to do whatever I want with it, because I spent a lot of money. By paying the same price you get more with android phones.

The problem with android phones is that there are sooooo many phones with different stuff so it's hard to choose and keep up, so apple has les choices and in those choices it packs every thing a general user needs
i can't see myself using an iPhone. it just doesn't suit me. i use Android because it's fun and there are a lot to mess with. iOS is just way too restricted for me, which also makes me use Windows & Linux (i use both, dualboot) macs are the same.
I see that based on teenagers: they just really care about how people will see them (put an Apple logo on their mirror selfie), and how social media will work on their phones. It’s basically: Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, etc just work better on iOS than any other Android phone. They don’t really care if the native camera of an Android could shoot a 200mpx photo of the moon. Plus, I know in the US they do use a lot of iMessage, so…
You've hit the nail on its head! For some reason apps like Snapchat and Instagram have very poor quality when using the camera, I envy my friends who have a iphone because their cameras are actually good! Dont know why Android cant just make good quality cameras

yet there are brands such as Sony that have smartphones directly competing with Apple. Imho I'd rather take a Sony Xperia 5 III which is superior.
The ecosystem stuff is good. I don't like iphone, but the MacBooks are amazing and they definitely give a feeling of "oh if I had ipad and iphone and apple watch, this experience would just be so much nicer"
I recently decided that I needed to replace my S6+ as the phone no longer suits my needs and I've been contemplating between Samsung's flagships and the Apple Minis. As much as I love the video quality and overall aesthetic of apple, I'm not interested in paying for ringtones and other services (plus my friends who own the iphone are always complaining about the state their phone is in, poor battery life, constantly replacing charging cables, the lack of features on their phone when compared to Androids), I'm definitely staying with Samsung and getting the S23 maybe one day i'll switch as I do have 2 phones but not at this time.
The two biggest reasons why I use iPhone is battery and support time. Even though the battery in iPhones are smaller, they realistically last longer than other smartphones because of how efficient the chip is. And you can buy an iPhone and have it last for around 6-8 years with update support.

I love the point about Huawei at the end because at the time of their quick rise they were clearly gunning for iPhone users with the way they marketed their products. Specifically I think they had a focus on Android fans who had considered/wanted to switch but didn’t quite like iOS. In that time that Huawei was taking over the world, Apple had time to mature its product and when Huawei collapsed, iOS all of a sudden wasn’t so unattractive to those users
Indeed, very "reliable" marketing, nothing like Huawei faked their camera quality or anything right? Clown.

The core advantage of iPhone is fundamental. They took the hard and risky route at the very beginning, creating a mobile OS from scratch that learned from the mistakes of decades of earlier OSs and was natively built for responsiveness and efficiency. This includes treating user input at the highest priority in its processing loop as opposed to just another task among many like Android. The latency of certain core functions will always be better in iOS. Google decided to get the boost in development support, time, and software and tool environment that making a Linux-based OS would provide at the expense of a custom redesign from the ground up, forgetting that the real target base are the end consumers and not the development community (who would gladly adapt to a new platform if it could prove itself popular/profitable).
But sadly..here..in indonesia we dont have apple official store yet..we only bought it from authorized reseller,,so its kind of hard for us to claim our warranty…coz the reseller have to ship it to singapore or somehere else (sometimes tho but it is still COMPLICATED)….so pls apple open one of your store here plsssss
So you won't mention about the celebs and so-called influencers who elevated this status of Apple? They created this status that everyone desires to join, hence their next product is an Apple device. I think that is the number one reason behind Apple's growth despite anti-consumer practices.
If people want to follow famous people it’s in them. No one forced anyone to use any kind of device.
The same way as Beats headphones enev if their headphones where the worst of the worst of the worst... They even added weight to make it feel "premium"...
This only applies in non-developed nations where it’s out of reach of common folk. An iPhone is the most common phone in many developed countries. That’s like saying having a Toyota Corolla is a “status symbol” - no it’s not it’s literally the most common middle class device. No that’s not the number one reason behind growth, love how you think you have a better reasoning than Arun who actually does some research before he speaks - it’s software and ecosystem lock in. Believe it or not, not all of us enjoys using Windows or Android and want an alternative to that.

What makes Apple so compelling is that they make solid products across several categories (e.g. smartphones, tablets, watches, laptops, etc.). On their own they may not be head and shoulders above the competition, but having multiple Apple devices that work so well together is something no one else has been able to replicate as well as Apple.

I definitely loved it at first, but as I got an android tablet and saw videos about all the cool things you can do (as well as getting into tinkering and technical computer stuff more), I shifted away to android again when I started paying my own phone bill and buying my own phones. I just love being able to root it for full access, downloading APKs to get almost any app for free, and installing system wide adblockers. To everyone who has teased me for using an android in the past. _At least I don't have to see youtube ads nor did I have to pay for any of my apps._
I like Android more, because I hate, that Apple tells me what I am allowed to do with my phone and what not. I want a phone which allows me to do what ever I want with it and that has also to include, that I can install any operating system I want. Also, I want a phone, which I can repair myself without loosing features, like how Apple is doing it. Because of that, I stick to buying Google Pixel phones ^^
Exactly
The most undesirable thing I've experienced in Apple ecosystem (including iOS and MacOS) is that it is limiting me in so many ways. Sometimes, when you really got your hands-on to one platform, there's no going back. There you feel the real opportunity cost between the two products. You're gonna loose some benefits over the other if pick one over another. Someone may argue that "then let's buy the both". But that is not the practical way in terms of daily priorities. However, what I appreciate is that, the one I'm going to buy should offer me a decent job for the price I paid for it. In that sense, Android is still flexible to me. Anyway... love the both phones.
one more reason you didn't add was the fact that in places like Africa.. people prefer to use iPhones because they're a store of value. its super easy to sell an iphone in Ghana and the market value is quite easy to determine. a buyer can easily be found within a day or two so people can easily sell their phones for cash in hard times (we don't have pawn shops here) and easily replace them when their economic situation is better.
Interesting!
So essentially electronic gold
I don’t use Facebook but Ik the market on there for iPhones is insane, everyone and their cat is selling an iPhone
I live in Africa, and this is wrong. If people wanted a store of value, they wont buy something with a value that depreciates over time. People buy iphones here for the same reason its bought in other places. To be part of the trend. But also, it's now easier to look cool and rich at first impression. Just get the trending iphones.
@@adiongano8416 Don't really know what part of Africa you are living but the value of XR & above increases.... It actually has more value now...
I recently bought a MacBook M1 because no other windows laptop was coming even close to it. Loved the apple experience. Decided to buy an iphone because it would integrate with the MacBook well plus like this video states everyone else was using iphone so i bought it to try it.
have you tried windows laptop at the SAME PRICE point with macbook?
I love my iPhone mostly for simplicity and less issues. I’ve had both over the years and my iPhone has never given me any major issues. I’ve always had an issue with every galaxy phone I’ve had.
In my opinion, you can't go wrong with a flagship phone nowadays which is where the talk all is. The thing is, iPhone is just a status. Everyone follows the crowd. The vast majority of the people I know have an iPhone and its just boring. When I see someone with an Android, it instantly makes me smile because it shows they don't just follow the crowd. As a young person in the UK, everyone just has an iPhone. That's why I use Android, I like to be unique!
We need more android users like you Am also in the UK
Everyone uses an iPhone and so do I, but nobody I know uses Apple accessories extensively except me, does that mean I’m unique as well?
Good for you. In the states i have heard of several instances of kids in school being bullied because they don't have an iPhone
@TPR 1808 Thank you!
Its how “unique” I am that makes me choose a fone. Its about the performance, the battery, the optimization
I've had both platforms, currently have an iPhone. Honestly, most of the people I know and want/need to communicate with have iPhones so it's just easier. At the end of the day I don't really see why it's so important, both platforms work great.
This sometimes makes me want to have a iPhone. Lots of iPhone users act like they can only communicate with an iPhone user, and anything else is just bad.
Itll be easier to communicate between both platforms soon. Apple is being sued to stop suppressing competitors now by US and EU governments.
I have been considering apple simply because I want good battery and camera and apple no longer is that much more expensive than samsung and other flagships. Hearing people are buying them for status has to be lamest explanation ever...
as someone who recently switched to iphone it's actually somewhat relieving to know that there isn't another option that was better, when i bought my phone, and i know that it's going to keep working for years, and continue getting basically every feature for the next several years.
Actually samsung is also growing very well their s23 series did better han the previous generations . The main thing apple has is the feature restriction which create the walls in the walled garden and the status symbol which arun mentioned .
But noone will talk it about all is planned, apple has a big budget to give to youtubers.
Thai people look down on android phones just because the quality of videos and pictures in story IG is not great compared to Iphone… 🥹
@@RudrapratapSingh647 he lies in this video a lot. Apple is complaining about not selling the last phone and he says they are growing...
This guy has to promote Apple.. they pay him well.
@@percy7068 How is a 12 minute long video explaining how Apple exploits their consumers considered promoting apple?
