Omg. This man sucking off android too much wow
I've been sick and tired of explaining all these things to my iphone buddys why I can't switch to their ecosystem. I hate their UX and next time I have to explain my problems I'll just throw this video at them. Thank you for explaining all these differences.
Always amazes me that nobody ever mentions that when you take a photo, your pictures don't get there own separate gallery. Instead they get put together with every other picture you have on your phone and you have to sift through them all to locate them. This is incredible obtuse.
Apple ego system
I use both systems. The things that were not mentioned are: Split screen; Proper backround App refresh, goes together with multitasking(not just pausing an App); Dual Apps(Clone Apps); Clearing cache from App settings; Installing files from anywhere; Viewing your clipboard and etc...
Outside the USA, the iMessage and Facetime problem is not even a thing, because we usually go for third-party messaging apps regardless of the phone people have anyways…
I think the main thing about the settings or special options being more hidden is on the principle that Apple wants you to use the way THEY want it, while Android allows the USER full control.
You forgot the clipboard feature where you can copy multiple words from different sources and paste them at the same time without losing single word,heck even a picture.
Im so used to Android that i never knew iphone app settings were not accessible from the app. I didnt know iphone didnt have a back gesture from everywhere or that the keyboard didnt have a numbers bar at the top. I knew about the volume controls on iphone being weird. Its crazy how different they still are.
Spot on! I was a huge Apple user and loved it (3Gs until 6S). Then switched to Android and fell in love with it. This year, I tried to give Apple another chance. I lasted less than a month. Everything you have said were serious pain points for me. I'd add a few smaller things: voice dictation on iOS was absolutely horrendous; Siri isn't that helpful ("here's what I found on the web" Bruh, just TELL me!); and one thing that even my wife who decided to go back to Apple seriously misses and I use all the time is scheduling text messages. Apple has done a great job at marketing and I get annoyed with people who blindly say "Apple is just so much easier to use, more intuitive, etc." while never having used a flagship Android device... Well done!
What I hate about iPhone is that on the AlarmClock when you enable the Alarm, it doesn't show you how much time is left for you to sleep. Simple thing, and they failed to add this.
I learned something today! As an android user my numbers are missing from my keyboard, but I thought this was normal/standard, yet YOU have them. So I opened my phone, used the convenient ‘settings’ button on the screen, and simply activated the ‘numbers’ feature. NOW I have numbers above my letters like a normal person! Thanks!🙏
Similar thing. After years of using Android (Samsung and Huawei mostly), I gave iPhone a chance and been using 15 Pro for a month now and it's really hard to explain, but all these things that you mentioned really were a mind changer. Not to say, iPhone 15 Pro is a great phone overall, but I just find myself taking more time dealing with multiple notifications and alerts from different apps and spend more time on the phone that I am used to. With S24 line underway, I am planning on switching back to Android soon.
I've been a long time iPhone user. The exact opposite of you. I switched to the S23+ and I absolutely love it. Once I got past the Apple ecosystem issues, I don't plan to go back.
I agree with basically all of this. A lot of my friends keep asking me why I do not use iPhones since I am a tech savvy guy and it is because of all of this. I do get that "it just works" and it is not a bad system by any means, but it just works after you need to dig into specific settings/apps to change simple settings. Do not even get me started on the keyboard...
I use both and see the pros and cons of both. Gave an iphone to my wife who never used one before, and she heard so much about iphones she was excited. After a couple of weeks she told me she didn't understand what all the fuss was about. iphone took more steps to do anything, than it did in android, she said.
We’ve had as our primary phones , tablets and laptop for years however very recently I acquired a Samsung A13 which we are using as a spare phone and before this my only experiences with Android was via our Samsung and Sony TV’s.
I switched from Galaxy Phone to iPhone about six or seven years ago. And iPhone people told me I would get used to not having any back button. That is incorrect. I miss the back button all day, every day !!!!
I tried using IOS. But it had too many limitations. And it just became so aggravating to use. And that's exactly it. Unless you own Apple, everything for your devices, your experience is basically going to suck with an iPhone. I have never liked the Apple experience. It's just way too controlling and limiting for my tastes. The Apple ecosystem just isn't my vibe.
From my experience from switching from android to iphone I also have the same pain points with the gestures and number keyboard. Still after using an iphone for 1.5 yrs I still miss those android features .
