I finally tried an iPhone. Does Apple beat android for me personally? Get a Teardown skin for your own phone HERE: www.dbrand.com/teardown I've been an Android user for 13 years. But the new Titanium Apple iPhone tempted me enough to try it out. For over 100 days I gave the iPhone a solid shot at becoming my new daily driver. But... well... I don't thing the iPhone is built for me. There are a few features on Android that I just cannot live without.
Its ok though Apple... we can still be friends.
The note 10+ flashlight can do the intensity trick too, all you have to do is long press on the flashlight icon in the notification bar
WHAT
I was just gonna say that 😂😂
Yep
@@JerryRigEverythingcome on, Zack 😂
Was gonna say that actually I have galaxy s10 and just checked to make sure 😅
Mad respect for the boss that thought carefully about their employee's working hours. It's really stressful when your boss is taking your time when it shouldn't
I simply ignore everything work related outside of work times, set off notifications and if anyone says why no reply, depending on who "I wasn't working at that time/I didn't see"
I never thought I was going to be THAT convinced about an iphone diss
Ikr, I've always loved Zach and what he's stood for throughout the years, but I gained so much respect for him on that sentiment
Yeah might be because they are using iphone and dont have that feature
Loved that part. Great respect for employees is a must. Already a subscriber and liking even more the person.
Him using a Note 10+, a phone that was released nearly 5 years ago says a lot about his priorities as a person. Hat’s off to you sir…
put that hat back on big boy 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@bimg1915lmao 💀
I'm on one rn and it's been great for the most part
phones these days are very useful in long term and usually the flasgships last a lot longer and stay a lot faster before becoming annoying. I was using my one plus 6 for 6 years before switching to s23 and an iphone se (got it for 80$) for a secondary phone... I intend to use s23 for atleast 4-5 years till I save enough to splurge on a good phone.
I was gonna reply "what do you mean nearly 5 years ago" because I swear it was like 2-3 years ago. time flies
Long time iOS user here and I honestly did not know of all the downsides you mentioned until this video. This has been the most useful iOS vs Android comparison videos I have ever seen.
That's the thing I've dealt with since smart phones came about. Each OS has it's ups and downs, for me personally iOS has more cons than pros for me to keep an iphone, but I have used many iphones over the years so I'm not biased, just I much prefer more simplicity of android features over all the extra stuff I have to do to do one simple task on an iphone.
@@hobbitpsiI respect that
this goes the same with mac os too. mac is very very very inconvenient.
Best line of the entire video: “Don’t let your boss text you after hours” Shows that Zach is a solid guy to work for.
My boss text me inappropriately after hours.
Yes, in an ideal world, where during working hours an employee devotes himself exclusively to work without distractions or breaks.
@@nikita137274 Regardless of the fact that no employee not under the burden of forced labour will do that, an employee occasionally taking time out of the day to take a break (which will usually increase productivity, not hinder it) is not grounds for a manager or owner to harass them outside of their working hours.
Corporations everywhere like 👁👄👁
Having an understanding of the severity of your buildout/project or other situation is the key to using direct texting or scheduling something for a later time. If materials can be ordered and ready for an early morning pick up vs calling in the morning and waiting 3-4 hours is a leadership decision and ALL members of the project need to agree to be available under the right circumstances.
Not having clipboard history turned out to be my biggest deal breaker. Being able to open your clipboard and seeing all the 10 - 15 items you last saved is so convenient.
Wow! Can't believe you don't get this on iPhones. That's crazy.
Very underrated feature that I use on daily basis
@@higozie that seems like such a basic option... iphone always not having things u dont think about cause it seems so natural to have
I am an iphone user, but I don’t think i can work efficiently without using clipboard in windows as I have to work with lots of data, i really miss this feature on iphone
I regret buying iPhone 15 pro😢 I was a hardcore android user and thought to try the iOS system. Definitely not for me. The clipboard, texting back via the widget on home screen and all what Zack mentioned in the video.
Learning and using 24 hour time is an underrated life hack
Wow You want him to put an effort to learn a new thing in order to use the iphone 😂😂
@@hosamdiab883i think you missed the point buddy😅
Bruh, I straight up don’t understand people that don’t use 24h time. Just makes life 10 times easier

I switched to an iPhone from a Samsung about 3 years ago. It has been a mostly positive experience, but some of these issues resonated with me. The biggest one is the lack of information in the alarm. I desperately miss the alarm telling me how long it will be until it goes off. Great video.
Use the sleep schedule in health, it was strange for me to do that first, but it is mindblowing, how convenient it works, especially, if you add it as a widget to your homescreen. One click adjustments per day are possible and you become so much more mindful with your actual sleep. At least it was the case for me. Hope this helps 😊
I'm returning to android because of other things i didn't like/get used to, but if you want a trick you can ask Siri how many time until an specific horu. For an example you can ask her "hey Siri, how much long until 7:30am". Still extra steps, not good, but it's something
You can't count...come on Man ...LMAO
I’m pretty sure the countdown is in the island at the top in orange.
well then switch back!! i just started to use the s24 ultra, man what a phone
Love that you only text your employees while they're in the clock. I wish more bosses were like you.
His employee is Dwayne Johnson 😮 and his friends with Taylor Swift 😅
And Jason Momoa
I wish my employees wouldn't txt me while I'm off either!
@@MiladAhmed3 'he's' friends with, not 'his' friend with.
I really don’t care if my customers text me after working hours. Just reply when i can. And after 10pm my iphone is in sleepingmode.
‘Don’t let your boss text you after hours’ such good advice for the both…
reminds me of the fact that we just passed a law in australia making it illegal to punish someone for ignoring after hours calls
@@hvrbros8730 In the U.S., a large majority of work related calls or texts I get are after 9pm. Sure, you technically won't be punished for ignoring them, but they'll also happily move on to someone more responsive.
@@hvrbros8730 meanwhile in the U.S. it’s basically an unwritten law that you’ll be punished for ignoring work calls/texts after hours.
Lol, "grow up" he says. Let me tell you something, kiddo: If you have a really stressful and mentally demanding job, it is imperative to set boundaries for both yourself and your colleagues. If you start responding to work related texts after hours, it's a slippery slope, nay, a highway to burnout. It's not about reading one text message after work, as you so deceptively put. It's about sustainability. But you will figure this out eventually (not that I think you actually had a job)
@@Kuhlio1313 Alright old man, I can tell your skin dusts off you like sand every morning. Absolutely no boss on Earth gets to set employee boundaries like that, let alone during personal time. I give him/her my hours, they compensate with salary. End of story. Provided what you said is true, I do respect joining the military young and growing up fast, but this bootlicking attitude is spineless. I'd 100% work for someone like Zack for 10 bucks an hour over you for 100 bucks an hour. Money can't buy self respect
This guy is probably the most unbiased, level-headed KZheadr I've come across and he has chosen to continue using Android over iOS - that says a lot right there.
I think he might be a little biased because you can mark things as unread in the gmail app and you can schedule messages as well using shortcuts app
@@DarveshSD but as what he said earlier in the video it takes that extra step to use iphone. I use iphone as my daily driver if it wasn't jailbroken i would prolly go back to android.
It’s just a matter of what he is used to using. And blue vs green- now you know who you can FaceTime and who can see some animations!
It did feel biased, the things he didnt like were pretty petty and most were due to him not setting the phone up to do the things he wanted
@@thomasheaney6477Setting up a feature compared to what the opposition does out of the box would be an unfair comparison.
Moving music or movie files to an android phone is as simple as drag and drop. And it works immediately. Different story with itunes etc
Transfering all of your pretty photos and video with a huge numbers, like "10-15k" to PC - a serious headache... Never will suggest an iPhone to any person
Yep. For the majority of people it's a real problem. But there's a small segment of users like me who will go the extra mile to do exactly what we want. For example, I use Neutron Player for music. So I just drag and drop music directly to that folder in itunes. I have both Android and iOS. Android I like for its extensive features. iOS I like for its simplicity in certain cases. This comes from a guy who has used iOS and Android since 2009.
not anymore, I mean I assume you’re downloading these movies and music files online illegally, either way, I can easily drag and drop both files from my macbook into my iphone without iTunes (it’s outdated now) and no problems
They changed this almost three years ago now, People still lying about iOS in 2024 🤦♂️
@@Michael-yl6sg So one would have to by a Macbook to do it, easy! Just tried on Windows 10 - Storage shows up, can't copy anything into it.

is it safe to say you still have an old school flip phone?😅
Well, technically you just learned about 10 things iPhone doesn't do. 😂
@@tjhoward3167the iPhone actually does everything that he said he just didn’t know how to use his iPhone
😆me too!😆😆😆
I find the "time until full" when charging so useful as well to know what sort of charger im plugged into.
For that intro... You being an Android person through and through..., A+ 👍🏽👍🏽 I connect to you deeply... I always have from day one. I've always appreciated you from the early years, and it makes makes more sense niw why so. You Saying those first few Lines, seals it.. 👍🏽👍🏽. You are a real one, Truely one of us.
been an android user for 15yrs or so, and I just learned text scheduling today. thank you
Me too. Also learned of the flash light dimming setting after long pressing the icon.
Me too 😅
same here :D
Me too😂
Haha... Really..😳😆😆 I guess we learn new things everyday.. It's been helping me a lot with Birthday wishes via text.. I worry no more... Cuz the text is definitely gibs be delivered.. if course unless phone is off 😄
wait a minute ... someone shared actually useful differences pros& cons included instead of saying it's just personal opinion for everything? This was better than most "tech" youtuber reviews honestly. Such practical approach is so much more helpful for people like me who wanna switch or explore what we are missing out, saving us all the trouble of trying it personally.
Those reviewers don't even know what they don't like
I mean these are all mostly opinions still. Like for example, some hate the fact you can't place your app icons anywhere you want on the home screen on IOS. Me personally I love that I can't. I want some preset organization. And it's not a knock on android, I was primarily an android user my entire life, but made the switch to iPhone at the iPhone 12 and haven't regretted it.
@@erice3525 his wasn't mostly opinion it's actually true for most of users who have used both, iphone is just not that user friendly, i know i own both.
True, other than him only LTT will talk about it, reason being other youtubers like MKBHD etc can't badmouth Apple or they won't get phones anymore at launch. Not getting the phone at launch means they won't get the views and hence a lower payday for them.
@@erice3525 yeah, his main reason for going back to Samsung was that his phone is a tool and he just wants to get stuff done with it. Ironically that is the same reason I got my first iPhone in 2020 and never went back. I loved Android when I was younger and had time to fiddle with everything, even using custom ROMs. But now that I am busy with life, I have found the stability and "it just works" nature of Apple to be way more efficient. He was right about the ecosystem statement. A few months after I got an iPhone, I got my first MacBook, then my first Apple Watch. Every piece I added, further organized and made things efficient for me. Now I have the complete ecosystem, and for better or worse, I am locked in. I have thought about checking out new Android phones, but then I remember how much there is to lose going that route and how much time I wasted fumbling around between Android and Windows trying to get stuff done. Before I made the switch, I had tried going all in on Google's ecosystem to make things simpler, but ChromeOS just wasn't able to handle my needs and at the time there were lots of other holes in their ecosystem where they really didn't have a reliable hardware or software solutions. So then I went all in on Samsung, but found that Samsung Android devices and Samsung Windows devices hardly play together at all, and it's more a test of your patients than anything, as well as the fact that Samsung's Android is super bloated, and every time I tried doing something new on the phone, I found myself singing my life away on user agreements to not only Google, but also Samsung, as well as having a bunch of duplicate apps preinstalled (one from Samsung and one from Google), even duplicate app markets. So basically I was a life long Windows user, starting from Windows 95 and used Android since 2009, and I had to be dragged kicking and screaming into Apple world. When I got up and walked around for a while though, I actually think the grass is greener on the other side. But thats not true for everyone, so it really is a personal opinion on just about everything.
Jerry is the person I never though would use an Android
Interesting point about Gmail. One of the biggest reasons I switched to iPhone was because no android phone receives gmail notifications on time. It can take anything from 30 seconds to 40-60 minutes if you're not manually waking up your phone because of Android's deep idle functions.
why not just use a different client? samsung mail is decent. also you can disable doze through ADB although i know you shouldnt have to
That depends from phone to phone. In android you have to go in the settings of the app and unrestrict the app from background use. Android does that to save battery. Not android actually. Different OS' that are built on top of that.
Hmm, were you on a Samsung? I've never had to do that. But maybe I've enabled a setting a while ago that I forgot about.
No Gmail experience but fastmail pings are instant on at least my Pixel (without them no $$$)
You can just turn off the "battery saver restriction" from your mail app, example: Apps > Gmail > Permissions > Battery Saver, or just turn on the background autostart option It works on my Poco F4 GT, I get my emails notifications almost instantly, only depending on my internet.
As a long time iPhone user, it's refreshing to see someone call out all the stupid things I've just learned to deal with over the years.
That's one big problem I've had with iPhone users is that they are so used to putting up with the BS that they don't even realize that it's BS most of the time. When I asked my co-worker why I couldn't just select the middle of a word I had typed on the screen, their response was " Why would you even want to do that??" Then they told me to just select the space in between The word I wanted to change and the word in front of it, completely backspace away the word I want to change one letter of and retype it. The craziest part has been asking people who have used iPhones their entire lives how to do simple things like this, save themselves don't even know that apple has made a way to do it, but has just made it very inaccessible and counterintuitive. I guess that when people first get their iPhones, just as I did, they try to do things and are told over and over that that's just not even an option on an iPhone and to just suck it up and do it how Apple wants them too, So when they run into problems that do actually have an Apple work around, they assume they don't and just make do the best that they possibly can. Shout out to my boyfriend who's never had anything but iPhone and told me there was no way to go back except for a few apps. He told me He's just been closing out of anything without a back button at the top and reopening the app to get back to the apps home screen. I think people think iPhones are simpler and more efficient because when you run into a issue, they're just is no solution, whereas with Android when you run into a problem, there are usually 18 different solutions with their own different pros and cons and customizations. I can understand how a lot of people, especially older people, might get overwhelmed with having the options to customize their phones to best suit them instead of the other way around, but that's why there are default settings to begin with.
@@TheAwesomes2104ye
@@TheAwesomes2104a lot of the “problems” aren’t even there with the iPhone, but a lot of people just don’t properly know their iPhone 😃 I for one have tried Samsung and didn’t like for example the bottom buttons iPhone is using gestures and pressure to navigate and I find that working just great! Also there’re other ways to move cursor in your texts, you can change and look for new wifi and Bluetooth connections without going to settings, you can mark emails unread in the proper iPhone email app and I’m also pretty sure there’s a back button for every app your boyfriend is using you just kind of learn to navigate each of the apps as they are which shouldn’t be a problem if you spend a lot of time on it 😃
Man on iPhone, it is much easier to navigate just long press, spacebar and Walla @@TheAwesomes2104
Craziest Part is actually, that none IPhone users don’t use iPhones and therefore don’t get how it works. Almost every problem, except scheduled massages and the green blue thing, isn’t really a problem, he just uses it wrong. For example, the example everyone seems to be obsessed with the most, selecting in the middle of a word actually works pretty easy. Pressing space long, and then using it like a curser. That’s even faster than hitting the word with the finger while typing. Problem is just, nobody learns these things, because after a few weeks the thought “oh my android” was better gets so strong, that they switch back.
As an android user, I never knew we can schedule text messages. Realizing it has this feature, it makes me love my s23 ultra more.
iPhone has scheduled messages in shortcuts. He just couldn’t have used Google to figure that out apparently. There’s a few things that he just got flat out wrong as an iPhone user (used to be an Android guy, but it was so bad I had to switch)
@@navalsealsnipersports1199like the flash light brightness 😂
@@navalsealsnipersports1199naw, it’s not the same ease of use. I have an iPhone and shortcuts are also a hit or miss, sometimes they work sometimes they don’t. My previous android device (note 10) could do it by long pressing the send and that was years ago.
Oh yeah, lol. Remember when I discovered it. And now the best phone ever is out, and I'm getting the 24 ultra. Most people have an iPhone due to hype. Most. However, very few people bother actually investing in the ecosystem, which in truth is amazing, but not a selling point for me because, like Jerry, I don't want to invest in that much.
To be honest it's very scummy of apple to gate you from features you paid for unless you pay more. Never was an iPhone user. Last one I used was an iPhone 6 plus which was amazing. Since then I have loved andriod
Thank you!! I've been waiting for a well regarded tech review of the two. I have been with iPhone for YEARS. I love the customizability of android, but not the frequent glitches when I've tested. It's been a few years since I tested, though. Might be time to try again.
Didn't know about the text scheduling, wow, what a cool feature 🤝 And I really love how you uniquely talk👏 like an advanced AI voice😁Its so catchy 👍 Much appreciation of your works (watching you from Zambia)
As another employer, thanks for explaining appropriate boss etiquette. It's really important for us to respect our employees' ability to be off the clock when they're not getting paid. It's not cool to text people when they are off the clock. It's essentially stealing their time. It is sad how profoundly moving it was for me to hear you mentioned this very basic courtesy. It sounds like your team is well treated. Strong work
Let me guess you're one of those people who days, "I don't get paid enough to do that" you can't answer a text message when you're off the clock😂😂
@one-to-one-ratio no one gets paid enough to answer text/email when they are off the clock. That's what off the clock means. Unless it means a change of schedule, I am not responding.
Yeah same. But us salary people are technically always on the clock but yeah. Unless its something important or ground breaking then i better not get a text from my gm telling me something stupid and minute that i need to attend to. I had my last boss message me at 11pm (i got off at 5pm) that i need to call my crew mates roght now and let thwm know about the new material we are going to use. Its like come on man. Hold a meeting tomorrow morning and let everyone know. Im not gonna call 40 people and bug them on their off time to tell them "hey we are gonna be using new material and we will have a meeting tomorrow at work about it) @paulwyand6204
@@one-to-one-ratioit’s important to allow people to be off the clock it’s not “I don’t get paid enough to respond” it’s more “I’m not getting paid at all to respond” furthermore would you text your boss after hours? No. Because everyone does actually have a family we work to make money so we can support those that we love some do also make money to have nice things for themselves whether you use your money to buy yourself a new car or to take your kids to lunch you deserve to enjoy the nice things in life without worrying about who’s gonna fill in for someone tomorrow or something you need to talk to your boss because the thing you’re building is about to fall over and kill a load of people then that’s okay any reason that’s not life death or bankruptcy is not an okay reason to talk to your employees or boss after hours
@@one-to-one-ratio You missed the point. It's not about not being paid enough to answer a message during personal time. It's about not actually working during that time, which is the basis of every modern work contract anywhere on the planet. Unless you're still brainwashed into being slave on a plantation, MY life comes first, and only then others', period.
Here's a few tips for people having the same complaints: 3:00 You can flick it down so it opens fully without draggin it the whole length of the iphone. It still opens the whole thing but atleast its faster. 4:45 You can hold the wifi icon to expand it and press "open wifi settings" or "open bluetooth settings". Still takes a lot of clicks but atleast you dont have to search for the app. 6:16 You can press the spacebar and the keyboard will turn itu a trackpad, its actually much more convenient and accurate imo because i have fat fingers 8:48 You can hold the notification to show the full message or email or whatever it is without reading it. This works with other messaging apps and its pretty useful. You can even open chats without reading them by long pressing. You can quickly open websites, enlarge images, read something quickly, etc. Holding something on the iphone does a lot. Overall, this is a great video explaining the good stuff that apple got right, their stupid quirks, and amazing android features that us iphone users probably have to wait a decade to get implemented lmao. The scheduled messages is probably a feature that made me want to switch the most because i keep forgetting to reply to someone.
It looks like Jerry uses his phone like he's in 2008, so modern UX confuses him 🙃
There’s also a button for marking emails as unread even though Jerry pointed out there isn’t
Glad someone explained it to him cause I was kinda annoyed with how all his issues were just him being unaware. Although I agree ios needs a better calculator and a fixed back button.
Thanks I didn't know about the space bar
Yep the spacebar tip also works on Android, it's kind of a hidden feature so I'm not surprised people don't know about it
Fellow Android lover. I agree with the extra clicks being annoying for iOS. Can't believe I didnt use the scheduled text feature before. Thank you for sharing! Also learnt this recently. You can long press and drag your keyboard in both Android and iOS to move the cursor around.
I love that you're one of those people who still uses the Samsung icons💯 I never hide them too coz they're awesome
Thank you for calling out UI issues. It’s not only Apple. Microsoft is also notorious at increasing the number of steps to perform the same task, removing function or burying actions. It’s like the designers lost their common sense.
windows 11 🙃
@@inugaki6942 Back in Win 98 or even as late as XP, you could find so many settings conveniently *together* in the same settings area. Display settings used to have resolution and refresh rate together, and themes was a tab over. Now they're spread over multiple settings 'apps' in different subcategories. It's infuriating.
Microsofts issue isnt that designers lost their common sense, its that designers who made the OS great retired. All your left with are people who want to do things differently or adopt the apple style over substance design.
Totally. I have been watching some reviews on the various editions of windows (Which I use a lot) and more and more functions are just being buried or plain removed! As someone with an IT background it really gets to me that when I go to do something relatively simple like networking settings I now have to jump through many hoops to find what I want.
this is why i refuse to install Windows 11, it's horrible UI wise.
Something else to note, on both iPhone and Android, you can long press on the button for bluetooth, network, etc. to get to the settings for that button. You can do that instead of navigating to a settings app on both phones.
Except on iphone that only works if you have bluetooth turned on. If not you first need to turn it on. then long press it to enlarge it, and then another tap to open the settings. It is possible, but again it takes extra taps.
For me this works reliably on Android but with iPhone I usually just end up accidentally turning it off entirely... I don't know how they messed up such trivial functionality, but they did.
In every case I've found the long press to be incredibly inconsistent at times on the iphone. Either it doesn't open the menu, or it just turns it off/on at random. Sometimes it opens it... but it's honestly easier to just go to the settings menu.
You can also just ask Siri to open WiFi or Bluetooth settings and she’ll do it instantly.
@@setha298try that in a language different to English ;) Siri is almost useless outside of the US, so it's often disabled completely.
I like what you said about scheduled text messages and how you like to send people text messages in the morning when they’re getting paid. It’s says a lot about your character professionalism. Respect 🙏
On the iphone, You can actually fix a typo by just swiping around on the spacebar.

It’s a text, just ignore it like an email which is also on most people’s phone but somehow it’s acceptable 🤷♂️
Apple user here. Glad you gave the iphone a shot. One thing regarding dealbreaker no.2. if you long press on the notification, it brings up the entire email while still keeping it "unread".
And "no way to mark unread" is an issue with the Gmail app on iOS, not related to anything Apple does.
@JakeShirley You can swipe to the right on a gmail message to make it unread. That is in the settings menu.
@@trajanfpvmore steps 😬
@@JakeShirley but dont forget, apple want things their way, including apps on their phone. if its not up to their standard & done their way, apple will block that app from being on ios. if you look at certain apps that are on ios & android, that differences between them, because of apple.

Perfect review. No Iphone for me either. As a busy professional who owns a construction company and works for someone else at the same time and also juggles life...I don't like having to think about how to do something. I like things to be intuitive so I can get it done without breaking my trail of thought. I'm an Android Galaxy Note guy for the last 10 years and not planning to change that now.
Just started the video. Just a side note, the note 10 plus very much CAN change the brightness of the flashlight. Even the original S8 can do that. I am not sure why you weren't able to. Perhaps you didn't know where to look to do it, but you can hold your finger on the flashlight icon to do it. I have had a Note 9, and S22 ultra, and both can do it, and my family has had note 9's, 10's, a note 20, S22 ultra's, S23 FE, and more, and they can *all* do the flashlight dimming trick haha
Even the tablets can do it. I have a Tab S8 which has this feature.
Yeah this was really weird to me as well. Also that he didnt seem to know green bubbles mean SMS and blue bubbles mean iMessage?
To think he has always been an android user and didn’t know that! There are a lot he has said here with the iPhone that he has missed also perhaps a bit more time needed 😂
I commented the same thing but I'm gonna like this so he sees it! I'd wish Samsung made it easier to know this because it took me forever to figure this out.
This. This right here is why I read the comments. Learned a couple new things today.
For number 7 iffy, you can just hold the space bar on the iPhone and swipe left to right / up or down to fix any typos or mistakes. It basically turns into a mouse. Much easier than the magnifying glass method which I agree is quite difficult.
Not that you said it didnt but GBoard, Samsung Keyboard and AOSP Keyboard have that feature aswell (and at least GBoard hadit before)
You can use the space bar to move left/right on Android also. Probably why it wasn't mentioned.
thank you!!!
Which was first introduced by Android 🥱
You are a hero. Had no idea about this
I’m sticking to Apple so I don’t get bullied😂
Ok
I'm the whole opposite. I bully my friends for having Apple products.
That is a detailed and nice review and also a comparison video. Thanks bro. ❤️
Scheduled text messages is something I didn’t know existed. I need that in my life. 😂
Same for me😂
I remember using it on my ooooold crap trend 2 lite samsung on 2013/2014 and when I learnt it still wasn't on IOS is was so suprised kldsqkldsq
iPhone user here. I didn’t know this was possible either. I write my after hours texts and don’t send them until the morning. That is if I remember. It stays in that person’s text chain until sent.
First use it on iphone 4 with jailbreak and 3rd sms app, i just remember it was red or pink icon, but the app didnt exits anymore when i jailbreak my ip7 (last iphone i used). And cause apple dont like anyone jb there phone to get those things, i dont have reason to use it anymore.
my galaxy note 8 does that😂
As an iPhone user that used to have an android, I’m fine with most of these but the most bothering thing is not having clipboard history
This
ahh yesss!! i even try to download Google keyboard on iphone but it's still not available, actually the biggest deal breaker for me as a Dyslexia
@@itstakenby yeah, only the Microsoft keyboard has clipboard history but I don’t use it because it’s ugly lol
if you sideload the app clip you can get this.
there lot of things i miss from an iPhone but I still use an iPhone because there is no going back
As a diehard Iphone user, I have to say that 97% of the things you don't like about the Iphone are quite easy to solve, but I suscribed anyway because your voice is soothing, your prssentation, diction and speech are top notch, and also because you don't disturb your employees when they are not on the clock. Cheers.
Regarding some of your iPhone shortcomings (coming from an Android user who also has an iPhone on the side): - You can pin the Settings app to your dock (like I do) or any of your home screens. - A widget that shows the date (like the Calendar widget) pinned to the home screen will keep the date a home screen swipe away at all times. This is honestly the better way of doing it on Android as well (I use Samsung Weather but Weawow is also good) - Setting the alarm via the Sleep settings helps you visualize exactly for how long you will sleep every time you set an alarm, as it shows both the wakeup time and the sleep duration - Regarding the "unread" thing with Gmail, I don't use gmail (I use Outlook) but I'm pretty sure you can use swipe gestures on your inbox to quickly mark items as unread. There should be an option in the Gmail settings to customize the swipe actions.
You just proved his point. Things are easier on android and they just work without having to change things
To me it seems more like android has more strightfirward ux, iphone is more complex, but if you get used to it and tweak it, then it might be more efficient.
@@dirtytamatoyeah probably cause he’s been an android user for ten years and is expecting android UX? What exactly do you think would happen if a ten year apple user did an android review? They’d also complain about how it isn’t as easy to do things on android as it was for them on iOS where they have tens years of experience. This video was kind of garbage, especially the part where he complained about third party apps having different back buttons compared to others? Wtf? Apple has no control over that.
@@vojta98this opinion is objectively wrong.
All these "workaround" seems silly for > $1000 phone
The Note 10+ does have flashlight adjustment! Just go into your quick panel and tap the "Flashlight" text under the icon, and there should be a slider to adjust it.
I came down here to say the same thing!!
me too @@bigbe3tsdrumming
Right lol
i found it weird when he mentioned that the note 10+ didn't have this option, even my galaxy a22 5g has that option, and its a low-mid tier phone.
Long press the icon on the drop down or have your torch in the side tab. I have quite a bright colourful home screen, which usually does the job.
I switched to the iPhone as well first time in my life. The main miss I had was that one sound bar for the entire system. No way to have loud calls and quiet notifications. Crazy
You can actually do that using focus modes. Create a custom focus mode where all notifications are silenced but phone calls from anyone are all allowed. You can set it up to be activated automatically at certain times, locations or using smart activation or set it manually using control center shortcuts as you need it.
Again, more steps to get simple things done😔
@@bananal-tayeb3416 Can we do, lets say, 50% volume for calls, 20% for texts and notifications and 80% for media playback and 100% for alarm at the same time?

Yeah sound managing on iPhone is pretty annoying. Especially if your sound switch is damaged. Then ur toasted lol
Never knew scheduling messages was a thing. Been using Oneplus for over 4 years and it turns out this feature doesn't work on my handset. Very informative video. Glad I came across your content :)
I use Microsoft SMS organiser in my OnePlus and this feature is there. Never used the default messaging app.
I CANNOT look at the remaining time I have to sleep after setting my alarm on my phone. If I do, my internal clock counts down, I toss and turn, ect. I have to literally look away right when I set the alarm 😂
I’m surprised that for so many years none of the reviewers mention about the fact that iPhone don't have a Pause function while taking a Video. And if you want to turn the flash on when taking a photo you have to press about 3-4 different places.
Why would you want to pause a video? Also the second thing isn’t even true. There’s a flash button prominently featured in the top left and you just tap it once to toggle flash.
@@g33xzi11a There are many occasions when I watch something and instead of stopping the video I would prefer to press a pause, wait until it’s worth videoing and continue the recording. Instead of having 10 short videos, I would have one continuous with all interesting bits in one. Instead I have to use an app to stitch all together. Also for the flash, please try to press the button you suggest and you’ll see that when you take a photo it will still not flash every time, instead you have to press the arrow from the top middle to choose the detailed option where you have to choose flash on, and only then the flash will be switching on every time.
iPhone user here. Agree with you. I do miss the pause button of android. I record lots of video and it’s very useful when you do want to have just one video file to edit
No pause button record. This is a deal breaker
@@Dex_NeutralMinded I don’t care. Not a deal breaker, just another function which even the cameras from 80s had.
Apple should definitely think about scheduled texts. I didn't even know android had that. it sounds goated asf
it is!
you can scredula a text lol with shortcuts
I've had scheduled text since I had a Galaxy Intercept lmao
Android has many things ios doesn't, for example creating a qr code from a contact if you want to share your number with someone is possible only on android (not sure if Apple finally implemented this)
And iPhone has that lmao, and has had it for years. WTF are you people on? It feels like people crapping on iphones here never used one.
One tip for users of both worlds: You can hold down your spacebar and swipe right or left to move the cursor
“Maybe I’m just not familiar enough with the iPhone yet…” “Maybe there’s a better way to do it, it’s just not the way I do it” Ran right into the solution without realizing it. Most of his “issues” have settings that are changeable, or ways to do exactly what he wants…he just doesn’t want to take the time to learn it.
ALSO!! the CALCULATOR!! Idk if it’s because i don’t know how, but on iPhone i can’t see even the history. While on android, i can see the whole mathematical sentence with running subtotal and the history!

Also clipboard is missing in apple
@@iggynubok 🤓
LUCKY GUY HAHAHA :D
@@ZelenskyyUa_ no clipboard was one of the biggest grievances for me, along with scheduled texts
Jerry, you hit the nail on the head with this one. Also being a lifetime Android user, I finally caved when the 14 was released to give it a try and see what the hype was all about. Needless to say, it won't happen again. It is a very "restricted" experience that has many missing features that I just can't jive with.
I prefer green and blue because it lets me know what featureset I have access to for that contact.
And that's why Apple is being taken to court. Shouldn't have to worry about "featurset", it's just a text message. The whole inclusiveness that Apple has built up is frankly just ridiculous now and more just showing Apple's greed which, as any of us who were alive to see the first Apple products, has been Apple's M.O. since the beginning. Might not have been Job's ideal, but he didn't have a choice in how much it sold for.
For point 7, if you hold down on the space bar your entire keyboard essentially turns into a trackpad which allows you to go up, down, left and right in your text. I understand the rest of the points though
Thats true and I even used that feature while writing this comment. It would still be comfortable for it to be an option to change it to the way android works.
@@sokotroko5488 oh absolutely it did kill me the first couple of weeks, editing text on my phone felt like a chore 💀 but I’ve become accustomed to it and I kinda wish Android had it too instead of showing the language selector like most keyboards do
@@morganlabs you can also hold the space bar on an android phone to move the cursor.
@@TinasheChidyausiku ah cool! I didn't know that!
Also really cool is the same but with the backspace key, you can click and slide to the left to delete word by word. Probably the most useful keyboard feature. (On Android with GBoard)
The alarm app is such a powerhouse of convenience on Android that it feels like it can read your mind. The brief notification when you set a time is just touching the surface
I agree. What happened to Zach happened to me as well, but this time with Siri. I asked to schedule an alarm at 8:30 in the morning and it scheduled it to 8:30 PM and I slept in. Until very recently you couldn't even schedule multiple timers on the clock app. And don't even get me started on the calculator, which is so far behind some of the most features you expect from a calculator its mind boggling.
has saved me a lot of time TBH.
I never knew! thank you.
It even gives you a heads up when a bank holiday is coming, proposing to suspend the alarm on that day. And you can suspend a recurring alarm for a custom duration as well and have it auto resume once it's over, very handy during holidays
@@yeshwanthreddy9007have you tried tilting the iPhone horizontally when using the calculator app?
The iPhone blue text bubble is to indicate iMessage and that is handy if you’re on something like pre-paid data usage, then those iMessage texts are free without charge between iPhone users. Green is to show me that the other user is either android or their iMessage is turned off and I am Paying to send those messages. This feature has been really valid for me in the past.
Quick tip: Hard press on the WiFi Bluetooth etc buttons brings up and easy way to get to settings for said button function. I recently switched back to iPhone as well, I absolutely loved my Note 10+ just a phenomenal phone
The reminder of how many hours til my next alarm is such a clutch feature. It has saved me so many times over the years. That and the inconsistency of the back button are my two bigger sticking points. Really nice to see a fair attempt and assessment of your experience.
I just want to piggyback on this comment to let everyone know that you change the brightness level of the flashlight on a Galaxy, just click the text "flashlight" on the pulldown menu
@@MrDimitrija I was going to mention that also but it falls into the annoying clicks category. I with there was a slider that automatically pops up when you turn on the flashlight I normally use the screen brightness instead bc it's easier to control the brightness
If the clock app used 24 hours, that would be an easy solution. There would be no need for setting the am/pm.
How easy these things are to fix shows the issue with Apple's attitude. They either don't care or very deliberately try to be different, to the detriment of consumers. Either way it's not a good attitude. The iPhone has great hardware and I would be happy to buy it to complement my MacBook and AirPods. Unfortunately they seem to be so used to people just buying their phone by default that they have missed the point where it stopped being the best choice.
When I see time remaining is when I'm 100% sure that I've set correct alarm.
You actually missed quite a few Android conveniences that are in favor of your less clicks. You can push and hold the send button in messages to bring up the scheduled messages. Same goes for Flashlight, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.. Just long press them and your instantly in the menu.
Also long press on an email notification for preview
The flashlight one doesn't put me anywhere into a menu, nor does it allow changing brightness. Might be a Samsung thing. I have a Microsoft Surface Duo 2 and it only offers on or off through the drop down. It does give me an option to double-click the power button even with the phone off and closed to turn on the flashlight though. Everything else though such as holding on the quick settings to go into that menu is certainly a feature of Android that I will never get tired of. ESPECIALLY holding down the Bluetooth icon to jump into Bluetooth settings. That will never get old!
@@kingzach74 Yeah, probably Samsung feature. But I can do it for like 10 years now, since the Galaxy Alpha.
@@grahameida7163wow.. I didn't know that. Thanks. That actually is useful
Not true about the long pressing to get instantly in the menu... first you slide down then long press wifi or any of those then you have to long press wifi again and then you can go into its settings with another tap
Very valid point on scheduling the text messages. I often find myself in the same situation, where it's late at night and want to send a message to someone, but it's way too late and it could wake them up, or it's simply something that can wait until the morning. What I have to do is copy the link or type the message to them, and then leave it there so I can send it in the morning (if I remember). That's not ideal, I agree. It would be awesome if the message could be scheduled, and I didn't have to remember to go back to message to finish sending. Good point 👍🏻
Great video! Also, some of the points brought up there’s other ways to get your cursor where you need it at. Just hold your finger on the spacebar and you could put the cursor anywhere. It becomes like a mouse pad on iPhone. Also, with the emails, you can hold your finger over the email, and you can mark it as flagged, archive, read, unread, or move it. Just FYI
What bugged me the most when I transitioned from android to iPhone (for work) was the lack of a split-screen multitasking feature - that was quite the underrated feature for all the efficiency chasers out there!
You can load two apps to share screen - just hold down on the second app icon you want displayed and steer the icon to the screen with your finger. Hope that helps ( probably easier to see how to do it with a video tbh).
@@somethinginteresting2202I think you completely misunderstood what the guy was referring to. Using two apps at the same exact time, not moving apps onto the same home page… come on dude
I remember back in the day prior to me using KZhead Music when I wanted to listen from YT while doing some online browsing and chatting I used to rock those split screens like there is no tommorow. I especially loved to option to make my own scale by just sliding the split bar up and down..
PIXELS too such at that. Although they have the options. I think Samsung just do it so greatly
You can press and hold the WiFi and Bluetooth icon for more options
Was just about to say that Although if you want to turn them off you need to enter the settings, if you disable them through that menu they’ll only be deactivated for a day
Seriously, some of this was just not knowing the UI, and some of it was just flat out false information. What a weird video. “5 grand for a laptop” and other things that were just lies lmao
@@wholesomeduckyif you want to configure it with a reasonable amount of memory and storage, it can easily cost 5 grand.
@@wholesomeduckynah fam, Apple user For a minute here: it’s annoying lmao the UI can use a lot of attention to detail in terms of actions not just aesthetics. Android always been consistent in that. Gotta give it props.
He can also hold down the spacebar to move his cursor when writing. He doesn’t really understand a lot of the ease of life features Apple put in
Moving to Mac os from windows was a similar experience. Everything seems counter productive and requires unnecessary extra clicks. Not a huge deal but it adds up over time!
This is a superb video and best for those who uses their phone at it's maximum potential. FYI: Flash light brightness can be adjusted in Samsung phones, and it was their for quite some time now.
I’m an iPhone user, seeing the differences with your iffy and dealbreaker list, you’re absolutely right. You CAN get that stuff fixed with shortcuts, but that’s extra steps that you shouldn’t have to deal with. Good on you for giving it an honest shot!
yea at first I was going to get mad but the more I listen, he is making good points. editing text, just hold the space bar. Or Like the mention of the alarm, you'd notice if you specifically use the sleep alarm. A lot of things that only make sense by using it more or reading manuals.
To me, every iPhone looks more or less the same. Nothing much can be customised to your preference. No funky looking widgets, just stack upon stacks of applications.
as both android and ios user, i can see how he is absolutely right about his iffy list, but to be fair the ios has some good tricks too, or at least some apps works better on ios, like fb messener where you can read the conversation without actually reading it, and the convient ios video player that works in different apps, and i have to disagree about the wifi settings change, you can just tap and hold the wifi icon or bluetooth icon and change what you need, but still.. android is waaaay better experience with much less steps to do the same job.
@@aminekhetir4291 has the settings changed to open the full wifi settings, or is it still limited to changing which network you wanna use, turn on/off etc? One of these Android versions recently (13?) changed it to be more like what I remember Apple's quick settings to be, even if you long press it would only take you to the wifi network settings to turn it on/off switch networks etc and I hated it.
You can see full email from notification by long pressing and it doesn’t mark as read for the built in mail client. Google didn’t bother to implement peek for the gmail app though. The iPhone can only show what the app developer sends in the notification, so if they wanted to, Google could make the experience much better for iPhone users, but I assume they would much rather that people switch to Android if they’re heavy Google services user
You just made everyone better at whatever device they are using. There probably isn’t a single person that watched this that didn’t immediately start investigating the capabilities of their current device. I’ve been using iPhones for 10 years, and just learned in the comments that if I hold spacebar, I can much more accurately/easily place my cursor.
The longpress space to move the cursor works on android too btw.
It is an iPhone and Android thing. I really like using it.
I was an iPhone user for 5 - I started noticing these things immediately when I switch to Android.
Bro that's not already on every keyboard?
I hate the iPhone keyboard
Hey Zach! Just a tip. For the e-mail deal breaker on iPhone. You can actually tap and hold on the notification and the whole email will show up.
The Alarm thing has really helped me on Android so much honestly, I can't imagine not having that since I use timers and alarms alot to help with my time management as a chronic procrastinator.
The alarm on Android is a good extra information when you set an alarm. Since it is not on IOS, i just use Siri to set an alarm. The annoying thing about iphone is when you charge your phone, it doesn't tell how long till its fully charge. If it's available, i'm just gonna use Siri to set a timer to notify me when the time's up.
Totally agree the alarms lack of warning is dangerous… I’ve overslept a few times
@@QQxoxoQQYou can get shortcut for charge time. I always use that to check how much time is needed to fully charge.
It's properly more helpful In US and Canada, as we who are living in the EU, don't face this issue by simply using a 24-hour clock instead.
What's even better solution is using 24 hour clock instead of nonsense am/pm. Much more accurate and can't do mistakes like that as easily.
for me the biggest thing is "floating windows" in android. it makes the current app float over as a mini app and lets me use the phone or open another application and perform more advanced operations between them
Its funny how it works with twitch, netflix, amazon prime but not with youtube 😂

Worth noting that for your texting issue, holding spacebar on the iPhone turns it into a track bar. Much more precise and easy.
There’s shortcuts/gestures for most of your gripes but yes that text scheduling thing is so useful - jealous!
Hold and drag the space bar to move through text, i think you can long press to read a full notification, and you can use shortcuts to schedule messages, although I admit shortcuts are worse, I think to some extent it is the newness, although there are some dealbreakers.
OMG that spacebar trick will save me soooo much annoyance! How are users supposed to learn about that feature???
just wanted to say that
Another small tip: when you want to type a number quickly just hold the 123 button with one thumb and type the number that you want with another and then when you stop holding it it goes back to letters.
Hold and drag spacebar, isnt easy one handed, and when you cant adjust your hand placement. long press to read notifications, again if your in a situation you might not be able to long press anything. You might need or want to just one press to get a result ( also why Android still offers on screen actions and doesn't enforce gestures ) .
It just complicates it.
I don’t know if anyone else said this yet but you can use a hard press on the space key on the keyboard to then act as a mouse cursor and move it where you want in the word to fix it. Allows you to see where you are placing the cursor.
Yeah a couple points he makes actually do have absolution. You can add settings to the control panel so you do have a quick button to hit if you pull down the screen.
I know of this feature and I use it sometimes but it is so annoying and time consuming compared to just clicking exactly where I need to edit on an Android. /first time iphone user since 3 months ago.
Which is not better
To use a cursor, better use a laptop :D
@@Joel00000Similar experience. I find that selecting the cursor on iPhone is much "slippery" and annoying compare to Android which is I find more precise when it comes to cursor placement and text selection.
I respect your opinion, and it was nice to see a more level headed evaluation rather than bashing. I’ll point out that iPhone can do most of the things you want if you know how - even the text scheduling, though it requires setting up a shortcut so not as built in or intuitive. You can mark emails as unread in a couple ways including quickly swiping right and you can long press on any email to get a full preview like you want. My swipe down shows the date at top so maybe I have a setting I didn’t realize I turned on. Also, if you had the calendar app or a widget you wouldn’t even need to swipe down at all. The green bubbles are nice to know when I’ve lost internet connection or my friends phone must be off or not connected to the internet. It’s a quick visual indicator I’ve come to rely on. Getting to a point in text when holding can be done on the spacebar as well and when that’s your plan it’s very fast and more reliable than tapping where you want. I suppose it’s more about what we’re all used to. If I tried to use android for 100 days I’d have a similar if not longer list than yours. Glad we have choices and no one is forced to take one over the other. Plus the competition feeds further development. Nice video 😊
The hold and click for moving your cursor i accually like more than android cause its more reliable accurate
Agreed. I have recently changed from galaxy S10 to 15 pro and already experienced what this guy is talking about. Huge respect for revealing these to the audience
I'm at the situation where I so love my S10 because it have everything I need and want. the only problem is the battery.
@@davidboltbear147 yup. Battery issue was there for me as well ☹️
Jerry doesn't know how to do the things fast in iOS. That's normal if he is not used to, don't be fooled by this video. The things that he complains can be done very fast if you know how to do it. For example, with spotlight u search and call a contact in less than 1 second.
@@alexa9771Exactly, the things he listed isn’t a big deal for me with my iPhone. I know how to get to everything quickly, he did have one point though. The settings, I should be able to find it easier. I hope they do change that, unless you know a secret way I haven’t figured out yet.
same here. switched from s20 to iphone 15 pro and regretting every minute of it. I used to love apple before
For the cursor, a quick way to move it to where you want is to hold space then move it to exactly where you want it. I find this easier to get the cursor where I want it accurately compared with the android method. Bonus: this hold space feature works on android too.
On older iPhones with 3D Touch you can also hard press anywhere on the keyboard to move the text cursor which was even better. Spacebar limits how far down you can move. I wish it would still let you start the movement from any position
You can do it also on Android phones just tap and hold moving to left or right wherever you wanna go 😁
Actually in Android, you can map what holding space should do. Whether to change language or to move cursor.
@@amalshadin It can do the two things at the same time you don't need to map it 🤷♂️
came here to say this. and you can access setting shortcuts by pressing and holding wifi or bluetooth icons in the control centre
Yes u absolutely nailed it sir Jerry thank i really enjoyed this one
Fair review. I’ve experienced these irritations but never really analysed them.
I did a similar test with an iPhone last year... My last iPhone was a 3GS so I thought I would try Apple again. I came to many of the same conclusions and the notifications was the biggest thing that drove me crazy about iPhone. You explained it so well. Great video!
It should be a crime the way iOS (mis)manages notifications... and it's even better now!
tap and hold it views the full notification
lol same for me, my last phone was the same one, was jailbreak or how ever it was called, i remember hat thind made and a nswered calls, read texts, even emails. garbage, me hole family even my gf has iphone, i see them struggling every day with small things they dont like, and still say iphones are better than android, my moms phone even has a "panic atack" once
IME Notifications on iPhone come through much more reliably and faster on iPhone (I’ve missed time-sensitive notifs on Android because they came in hours late) but Android organizes those notifs much much better
same with me, deciding whenever I want iPhone mini or stay with big android phone, for me it was back button, what crazy is when I decide to google good work around for no back button everyone blaming app dev and not apple, some even crazy enough to say that apple forcing app developer to do better, are they are living in fantasy land or something, apple never give a rule on how to design good flow state so how it is app developer job to know what is the standard everyone should follow, they fully acknowledge apple stupid design but too stubborn to get out of apple @**
For number 7, you can hold your finger on the space bar and it will let you move the cursor left,right, up and down to put it in which ever area you want. Works faster than tapping in the word as you can miss.
Samsung Keyboard also has that.
EVERY keyboard has this...
I didn't know this was a thing. Interesting
I don't think that this will change his opinion tho 🤷🏻♂️
its still a pain for longer texts. even in android you have scroll all the way up and down to correct spelling
On the newer Androids, like my S21, the flash light can be dimmed. There are hundreds of reasons for me to be a Samsung/Android user, you touched some of them.
I had my Note + but the screen broke. I used it for around 4 years and would have continued using it for next 4 years. It was such a gem. And that flashlight trick was there in that
Wow. I've been using my android since forever, but just learned about the text message scheduling right now. Thanks man. We truly learn everyday.

@@silkyfox7603But it takes iPhone 10 steps to schedule the task. Android is one-click.
@Steve-qy6sz: I want to visit my family for Christmas, so I decided to send every one of my close friends a Merry Christmas text 4-day before Christmas and forgot. Christmas day I got text messages all day because I sent them when I thought it would be a good time for them, and the 2-hour time difference made for a fun day of my phone going crazy all day.
06:14 holding down the space bar key changes the keyboard into a cursor and you can very quickly and accurately move wherever you want or select words (by tapping with a second finger and dragging with the first one). i find this easier because you don′t have to move your fingers where the text is at which might be at the top of the screen but you get to keep them at the keyboard where they are anyways
But Android can do that too, so comparing things that one can do and the other doesn't, Android works better.
That is not gonna be good enough if you've typed a whole paragraph in say a notes app and want to correct a letter in a word at the beginning of your paragraph. It is much faster to just tap near the letter and have your cursor appear there on Android vs doing the whole hold and drag business up the whole paragraph you just mentioned or the tap near the word and then drag that Zach mentioned. More time spent doing the same thing was Zach's whole point here.
I also do it that way on iPhone, but I miss the way Zach does it on Android too
@@JerryO1995 i think we was saying on samsung
@@JerryO1995That wasn’t the point… also, the iphone UI feels way more responsive coming from an ex samsung user.

Wow. Subscribed your channel for this video. You slapped a genuine facts . Hats off
For me, the thing that annoys me about all Apple products is that they seem to expect you to conform to Apple's ideas about how they should be used, rather than enabling you to come up with ways of having them conform to how you want to use them.
I love that it just is how it is. I would consider myself a tech-savvy person, and I’ve had multiple Apple and android products, but holy shit I hate that there is so much configuration and shit I need to choose or think about with the android. The iPhone just works how it is, and that is nice for me.
@@v8william okay... my grandparents just use android without a need to tinker with it. But if i want to do it, at least i can.
Apple is simple, over Customization feels Cheap, also contrary to popular Apple products are customizable they just have limited options, adding to the simplicity of owning an Apple product.
This is paradoxically only true for iPhone. Macs are incredibly customizable. There is an entire ecosystem of homebrew for macos to make it into an essentially very custom os. You have access to all sorts of parameters through the command line like on windows but Mac almost embraces it where windows is much less happy and fiddly with installing apps that alter how the os is used.
@@v8william You don't have to change anything if you don't want it... it's not like you are forced through a setup process for how you use the phone or each app. I have heard people make the same point you've made a couple of times and it doesn't make any sense at all.. If you don't want to change the settings and you want to use the phone how it came - just don't change the settings.
That notification telling you when your alarm is about to go off is legit the most useful thing for me. I've never missed an alarm with that feature. Also being able to turn off your alarm 30m before it goes off is useful too. I really like Apple products. Apple silicon Macbooks, the apple watches and airpods are all amazing but I just can't get into iOS.
On IOS, i just tell Siri to set my alarm or timer but the extra piece of information on Android is super useful. For me the charging time is the most useful. If IOS has it, i'm just gonna charge my phone and see the timer and tell Siri to set a timer so i don't overcharge my phone.
If you use set up a sleep timer it shows you how much sleep you will get. So I that would solve Zack’s issue. Just doesn’t show on normal timers
Yeah iOS or rather gui and whole layout is Very very bad. It feels like this machine could more but its held back by infantile os
Never had an issue to set alarm cuz we in EU use 24h format
Just use the bedtime feature in the Alarm
Now this is a great video. Well said / well put. I have both phones and I phone I find you have to go around the block just to get across the street. You should try the s24 ultra. You will love it
Been an android user ever since android exists. And one of the biggest show stopper for me is the lack of system wide gestures. My Pixel doesn't have a physical back button but, ever since they've integrated back gesture on android, this has been a game changer for me. My wife has an iPhone and yes, you can go back by swiping from most of Apple's apps but not all of them. Being in 2024 and still having to reach at the top left hand corner to hit a button seems ridiculous.
First video I've seen that addresses the little details we all enjoy. Not everything is camera specs. Also I can totally relate that the phone is a work tool and not just something to have fun with. Congratulations Jerry!
This is not a good video. Too badly researched, and very missing on REAL iPhone features that actually work better than the Android in many of his points.
@@scottwilkins I think you missed the point. Using a phone for 100 days is a good grip on how well it is, compared to most reviews that are 1 week. He also didn't claim its a review, just his opinion. a lot of these reason I can agree with are annoying. I personally want swiftness and concistantcy and don't care as much about what color my messages are since android allows you to choose any color. things like this doesn't matter day to day. The only 2 features I would possibly want from phones are imessage, and facetime. What features do Iphones do better then android? 1.Cameras are subjective and per user opinion, as many android phones have been more voted on in a blind test. 2.Most people who say they want imessage on android is only because apple wont allow their custom rcs to be public, and overall imessage does nothing better compared to android messaging apps like textra. 3.All phones seem over all fast, and realistically with newer phones we are talking about 1 second differences in speed, not to mention people don't need a ps5 power level in their pocket. 4.Plenty of android phones focus on insain battery life. Apple doesn't make bad phones by any means, but I see no real reason for them to be popular outside of social static. They don't value cutting end tech as all new features they have added have been focus on other android phone features.
@@scottwilkins research? it's a PERSONAL opinion on how he's using it and what he personally wants from a smartphone
Yeah it's an opinion, but he was complaining about features that DO exist, he just didn't do thorough enough research. It feels like he WANTED to hate the iPhone so he sabotaged his usage@@alexandruradu1119
I like iPhone for the os though
Another tip for people who care about schedule text, you can click and hold the send button to automatically bring up the schedule menu (fewer clicks) rather than clicking the plus and etc. etc. like what Jerry did in the video.
I just tried the long press and it's pretty cool, I also just Googled the Shortcuts app on iPhone and that's a mess, so you need to use a whole other app to schedule a text? That's not a shortcut! There are steps! To the "shortcut" that's wild....
I was going to say this as well. So much more efficient than the multi-step process that Zach went through.
apple want total control. android does not (yet)
I didn't even know this was a function till I saw this in the video! Guess now I can spam people all night long as long as I do the schedule send for the morning when they're awake!
Also for imsg atleast, it will tell you that the user wont receive notification until morning because of the night time feature apple has implemented, so in a way its even better then scheduling message because if user for whatever reason wakes up and checks phone, he will see the message, but it wont disturb him otherwise.
The schedule a text message is my biggest miss from android. I don't have to worry about emails, etc however the timed texting was amazing for when you didn't want to forget
As an iPhone user for 13 years, I switched to the iPhone 15 Pro just like you. I agree 100% with the video. In addition, notifications are grouped differently on iPhone, and they are persistent: for example, if you receive a message on Instagram, and you read that message from the Instagram app, the notification will remain there forever even if you have already read the message from within the app.
Something people might not consider is switching all your devices to the 24 hour clock. Takes a month to adjust maybe, but afterwards you never ever ever set anything to the wrong time again
Hey fellow 24Hr guy!
Nah. What's next? Accepting metric system maybe? It isn't going to happen :> It would be to convenient.
I was in the military. Most people still used 12 hour system unless talking to higher ups
@@Diykstrapro Depends what you do. In health care field we go by 24 hour clock. So it's very convenient.
we did full circle
