  • Hey friends 🥳 IOS vs Android, iPhone vs. Samsung, the question is as old as the smartphone. I receive countless messages from people who would like to switch from an iPhone to an Android smartphone and are wondering whether this decision is the right or not. Personally, I haven't used an iPhone as my daily driver for 1.5 years and in this video you'll find out my very personal reasons why I don't use an iPhone anymore and why you probably shouldn't either. Review of the iPhone from an Android user's perspective.

      I have the same experience with my Ubuntu Linux PCs vs the spouse's MacOS computer. I think the MacOS desktop is awkward to use.
      As to phones, is best to get an unlockable Pixel phone and install the security/privacy focused (and de-googled) GrapheneOS.
      The phone is THE primary device for spying via data collection and location tracking - neither Apple or Google can be trusted.
      The Graphene web installer works pretty well, but stick with a Windows or Mac computer to install from, alas there are isdues with trying to install from a Linux PC - and the command line installer is just as problematic. Sad that that's the case, but Graphene folks probably stretched thin so they concentrate on where the majority of users will install from. It was flawless from the spouse's MacOS computer usung Brave browser with ad blocker temporarily disabled - best to use a browser based on Chromium.

      Notifications are objectively worse on iOS. It's not even debatable. I'd take Android notifications from version 4.2 (2012-2013) over iOS's current notifications.

I used an Apple Newton 120 extensively. The portable desktop experience with Samsung DeX and AR glasses is quite amazing. I love having a fully capable desktop computer with keyboard, mouse, and huge screen no matter where I am. I can use FLIR cameras, web cameras, large storage devices, wired ethernet, Microsoft Word, and printers easily in my car or with a power bank. I can VPN to my private cloud at home and stream games or desktops over 5G. The stuff available nowadays is really impressive. I keep my Newton 120 around for laughs!

      The only thing that it has that I liked was spotlight search. On Android you have to be in the settings app to search settings, you have to be in the contacts app to search contacts, you have to be in the app drawer to search for apps. I loved the iPhone search feature it searches everything in one spot. It’s easier to navigate in that way. My Android phone is 5 years old so not sure if Android fixed that. But really liking the iPhone in that regard. Besides that I noticed to most things on iPhone either took more clicks then any did on Android or the simple features like how much time tell the phone is charged are completely missing all together. Not only that I noticed a lot of things being backwards. Instead of swiping left in internet, you have to swipe right. Instead of swipping up you swipe down for search. Heck the address bar is on the bottom instead of the top on iPhone. So many things are opposite is insane. It threw me off.
      So after going through all that the hype didn’t deliver at all. I don’t understand how iPhone users say it’s so much easier to use or that it’s faster, or that it’s a better experience. The differences are very settle and not deal breakers either way. And overall the iPhone didn’t deliver at all with all the claims. I have to think these people that think Android is way worse then iPhone are comparing it to the Android of 10 years ago and have no clue what modern Android is like.

      No you don't... Did you even searched on Android if you could do that? I don't think you realize how you can do literally anything on Android, precisely because it's open (source).
      On any Android, you can install launchers (another concept that blows any iPhone users considering how much they can't customize their OS appearance) and install modules (for those which don't natively integrate one but allows you to from a third party) that will be able to do and look for pretty much anything on your phone, whether it's apps, contacts, messages, files on your phone, calculation or conversions, internet searches and even do specific actions in apps that do support it, like Maps to look for a place (and I probably missed some functionalities).
      There is nothing an iPhone can do that any Android phone can't do or can't replicate with a third party app, absolutely nothing.

      Also if you want Android you can get the S24 ultra but every time you hold it it will dig into your Palm let's hope round the corners of the S24 ultra with the new S25 ultra next year Nothing says Android is so much better than an iPhone than digging into the Palm of your hand because the corners are so sharp lol yeah the S24 ultra is So much better lol

      ​@@rileybusse9351 the reality is 90% of people will use cases on their phone when shelling out $1300+ on it. The only time you'll feel those "sharp edges" is if it's off. I AM very happy Samsung finally went w a flat screen on the S24 Ultra though. The curved screens were pretty, but they cracked way too easily on the bend.

And funny thing I recently got an S23fe, moved up from the A53 and set up face unlock and it works faster then the iPhone 13. Android wins again .

    Im the only one that left the apple ecosystem at a younger age. I already had the common sense when i was in high school. I was born in a time where if u had an iphone u were popular in school, but as years went by, it all changed to competition and ppl arguing android vs apple.
    I love android personally bc of the ecosystem, it represents inclusiveness bc it has different brands but made on the same operating system, and it just feels like a pc in the palm in your hands since developer mode takes your experience to a whole new level, also the EASTER EGG of checking your update version is so fun to mess with, and finally every app is so much easier to log in to since you can login with a google account and you can choose which one if you have more than one.
    I believe that android users represent the future gen of flip phones back in the day since we use the same brands that made all the flip phones.
    I have used an lg lotus flip phone, motorola droid razr m, iphone 4, lg stylo 2, lg v10, iphone 7, iphone se, oneplus 6t, and finally google pixel 7. I bough a samsung galaxy fold 4 and am getting it delivered today which im excited about.
    I will always love android bc android is the most innovative and gets me more excited about technology as a whole than apple ever will.
    I just hate how strict apple services and or the experience is, and overpriced 😔

    I had the S24 ultra and returned it due to fingerprint sensor issues. I replaced it with an iPhone 15 pro max and honestly I'm thinking really serious about switching back. The camera on the 24 Ultra was just far superior to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The camera on the 24 Ultra also reduced a function for me by allowing me to watermark the date and my name on the photos natively. I can do this on the iPhone, but it requires a 3rd party app. I did have a screen protector on the 24 Ultra and I'm wondering how much that affected the functionality of the fingerprint sensor.

      Depending on which screen protector, another 2 things you should do if you go back is to register the same fingerprint twice, and increase the touch sensitivity on the screen in settings, also the negative of using a screen protector on the S24U is that it will lose the anti reflection properties of the display

    • @DoritosResidue

    iOS also lacks a copy and paste clipboard like Android! Google Pixel 8 pro clipboard is so awesome and I love it!
    iPhone keyboard is TRASH! So I even use Google keyboard on my iPhone lol. Yes, that is possible and I was so surprised when I saw that in a CZcams video so I switched to that asap!
    In the end, I love both iPhone and my Google Pixel 8 pro. Last night before going to bed I realized that my iPhone 13 pro max feels like it's a physically better quality than my Google Pixel 8 pro. The pixel 8 feels cheaper than my iPhone 13 pro max. Hmm..

    Started with Android and got lost in it with all the stuff you can do with that phone, as I got older & wiser, I left Samsung because all my friends were leaving Android. I have been with Apple for over 8 years and very haPpy 🎊 🎉

    Just found your channel through this video and I really like the way you convey your thoughts. I agree with what you said about Magsafe, it's probably the only good thing Apple has done in a long time. Okay, maybe I'm being harsh but on the bright side we will get a Magsafe-like experience with Qi 2, which the S25 will most likely have. Awesome video!

    So well said. I own an iPhone for work and easily notice the difference in experience.

    I find it shocking that iphones don't have separate volume control. I can't remember having a phone with a single volume control, including inexpensive Moto phones from the 2010s. I use Samsung S24 now, but I'd honestly go back to Moto in a second if they upgraded their cameras (and offered more updates). I miss Moto gestures every day.

      I have a Samsung s23fe and as you I miss moto gestures. Found the flashlight gesture on play store downloaded and installed and now I can turn on the flashlight just like I did on my Motorola phone.
