The biggest problem you missed was the lack of a specific BACK BUTTON.
for each app you have to do different things to go back.
Another thing I like is the recent apps button because I can just press the button and get to all the apps that I had open. Another thing I don't like about Apple phones nowadays is the gesture navigation. It is slow 😞 the last thing I don't like about iPhones is changing the settings. You can't change settings from within an app. You have to go to the settings page to change settings in the settings app for specific apps.
@@AI-Creations-LLC there's also no search in the settings. You have to search all over for a specific settings. Very annoying.
@@BulletcoreThere is a search in settings.. 10:03
Its give or take, ios system controls are more consistent, but the back button is more fragmented. They would have to define exactly what the button will do, which will still vary a bit
@@tutacat I disagree when I press the back button on android it goes back. When I press home it goes home. When I press the app drawer it takes me to the app drawer. It's extremely consistent. Also android now has gesture navigation too.
Forgot to talk about Back swipe gesture which works only on left side in iOS. Google is much better OS for large screen devices.
yup this too!!
And not all apps have it
@@HigherQualityUploads yep that's frustrating...
It's annoying as hell
What!? Left is inconvenient for a right handed person. Lol why is Apple so poor in design?
I was on Android for over 10 years before I made the decision to switch it iPhone. I lasted 7 months till I couldn't stand it anymore and went back to Android. Gosh, I missed it so much. iOS is lacking in so many ways!
congrats want a cookie
@@arabicriflegaming8871 I'd love a cookie but I don't want to make you go to the trouble of sending me one 🙂
True
My wife wanted to try an iphone. We ended up with one, so I gave it to her. She'd heard so much about iphones she really excited to try it and expected to like it. But she said to me "I don't understand what all the fuss is about with iphone. Its harder to do everything."
@@arabicriflegaming8871we found the ISheep
Long time Apple user here who a month ago switched to Android, couldn’t be happier. Subscribed!
Ain't it great?
Hey? Is there anything you're missing out on an arid that you had in iPhone? I'm talking about the iPhone as a standalone device not the apple environment, is there anything?
OK 🙄
I have never seen a better comprehensive iOS vs Android video. Well done! 👏🏽
Facts!
It’s not really an iOS vs Android comparison is it? He’s picked out certain things that he’s used to on Android and shows how he thinks he harder to use on iOS
Using S23 Ultra by the way
@@Dylan_1263S23U doesn't have all the features he listed.
He is overcomplicated everything and did them completely wrong. There is easier and simpler ways for everything he shown.
A similar comparison between Pixel and Samsung OneUI would be interesting...
I would also love to see this. I've been using Pixel for years and years but to get to see OneUI demonstrated would be nice.
That would be great, I am also looking forward to see this video
Yes this comparison would be nice
Would be pretty much the same
You can do the same things on Samsung
I will never understand how come people don't realise that Android is so much more practical and time saving than iOS.
They like to cope hard
marketing my friend, you can like or disike iphone but apple has assembled the best marketing team on history
Apple is just a cult with delusional marketing campaign.....
People complaint about that product but still buying that.....
because you can't mind control people to use Android, it's their choice.
@djsnkz No you can't, but no Android user has ever argued that you can. We just get put down a lot by iphone users and get frustrated because we know that if they would just open their eyes, they'd see that they're getting a bad deal from Apple.
those 227 dislikes are from apple fanboys who cant handle the facts
Cuz he’s wrong
@lol-ge9bh you can't just say facts are wrong. Literally, the whole video is facts. It's clearly comparing using iOS 16 on the iPhone compared to using Android 13 on the Google Pixel, both being flagships.
@@lol-ge9bh apple fanboy spotted
@@lol-ge9bhsalty ahh iSheep 💀
@lol-ge9bh you are wrong little guy just go buy a 2000 dollar iphone I better stick with a 20 dollar redmi that can play roblox 120 fps
iPhone is just for people who don't do as much
Nop iPhone is just for showoff
Strongly agree 💯
if you are end user go for iOS
if you are advanced end user go for Android
Or for people who want a phone that just works.
I'm having a lot of bugs with my 7 Pro.
The most annoying is "Android system can't be loaded"
1) try restart over and over again, good luck it doesn't show after 10 times
2) reset device
What should I do if this happens and my digital train ticket is not available or I'm lost somewhere?
And do nothing at that.
Rare to find such a gem. It's relevant. Well researched. Not your typical comparison video. Well done!
@@AnonymityA but can they really though?? I have used multiple Iphones over the years and some of things he's mentioned still hindered my experience with IOS..the polish of IOS is great but functionality is questionable in some ways
Well researched? He has no idea how that iphone works. His approach to the iphone were like “oh, I know in android you can do it like this and that and that, But there is an easier way there what is not avaible on this iphone. Hmm. Its baad!”
No you dumb bastard. You failed to find ios’s easier solution for the same task.
@@AnonymityA bro just shut up
agreed, this guy is completely biased and he telling other reviewers that he is the most honest one, he clearly hates Apple, and in his other, he is telling other CZcamsrs with much more subscribe and reach than him, that they are not honest because they is no difference between 14 and 15 he is a biased youtuber @@AnonymityA
@@AfeefAzmi09 Before commenting make sure you read your comment twice to make sure that you can understand it because I really can't.
Completely agreed. I moved to Android from a decade of using iOS devices, and now feeling really comfortable in lot more ways.
Thank you for this video. Now I know more about the iPhone OS limitations and will stay with my beloved Android devices for much longer. I thought Apple had caught up with Android until I watched this video because that's the impression I get from most CZcams tech reviewers, especially the ones who make comparison videos and title it "25 things iOS does better than android" or vice versa. Suggesting both OS"s were on par for ease of use & feature sets. Wow, CZcams needs reviewers like you who can help users see clearly and spend wisely. The Apple brand has got these CZcamsrs in their pocket!!
Facts.
Real
My first smartphone was a Nokia Windows phone and when I found out I wouldn't be able to get another I started looking at Apple and Android and asked users what they didn't like about their phones. I've been an Android user since.
No, he basically isn’t used to using an iPhone so struggles with it. It’s the same for someone who uses and iPhone and finds it easy going to try an android. Both are reasonably the same for 99% of the things people use them for. It just depends what OS you’re used too.
@@Rambo9700so the clip board manager inside of any keyboard app is untrue?
What a great video have tried so many times to stick with iOS but I just keep coming back to my Pixel as I find Android just so much more flexible. It's a phone that allows me to do what I want not what the creator wants.
On iOS you are a USER, on Android you are and ADMIN.😎
It was the other way around for me. I tried go switch to android a lot of times, but I keep going back to iOS. Dunno y but it just feels way smoother.
@@dominik3482 I feel the same way. iOS is just extremely simple and intuitive. Very few bugs in my experience. I’m on iOS for 6 months now and there’s no going back yet.
@@spenarkleyios 16 is the buggiest piece of shit
@@dominik3482nah 👎 that's no excuse
In addition to everything you mentioned: the ability to assign specific ringtone/text alert tone to EVERY SINGLE notification type/chat on Android vs. being stuck with THE SAME ANNOYING text alert tone for most of the notifications on iOS. So that, for instance, you ALWAYS know who is texting before you even pick up your phone regardless of the app they are using on Android vs. you KEEP WONDERING was that a message from your DAD or some news alert from CNN app. SUCH A BASIC THING! I guess that's why we call them Android Smartphones and Apple Iphones.
Either you’ve never used iOS or you have not used it within the last year. I have separate notification sounds for all my contacts phone calls and text alerts. Some are songs, some are sitcom sound clips, or video game voice overs.
@@Danarchy3 I leave my iPhone on mute all day anyways
@@Danarchy3 Apple is kinda dumb because they want to wait and slowly add features while android give you as much more control and hardware as they can with slightly less optimised software for the hardware.
Its s dumb because apple is meant to be simple but it isn't and is quite harder to use for people who dont know or haven't see IOS.
@@killer_instinctz8696 I think you hit the nail on the head. It is harder to use if your not used to it. When I started my job they gave me an iPhone but I was an android user and I was so lost, I hated it. A few years later and I use both systems, I actually like iOS better now that I’m used to it. As for the “new feature” argument, there’s no question android comes out with features first. However they are not optimized at all, you could even say android releases the beta version then later Apple comes in and says “here’s the right way to do that” I’d rather wait for the full release instead of the buggy beta version a year early.
As with any other product or service, choose what fits your needs the best. Each has it's pro's and cons. I've used both but the limitations of file management on iOS and transferring files across devices is a deal breaker so I'm back to Android...
I've been an android user since switching over from the iPhone 6 and I had assumed that the features iOS has gotten from Android worked the same. Boy was I wrong! This is the only video I've ever seen that shows just how far behind iOS still is and I'm subscribed to almost all of the big tech CZcamsrs. I love your channel and definitely going to subscribe!
Straight to the point and very informative. I just got a pixel 6a for Christmas and this video made me feel proud of all the nifty features i now have access to.
You got the nail on the head with this video. I left IOS for the same reason. It's too Generic. It doesn't feel like a useful computing tool in my pocket. I also hate that you have to go into a separate app just to access setting for a particular app. It's limitations are painful. I can't believe it's been 16 yrs and it doesn't feel like anything major has changed.
Oh, yeah. There is nothing like having sixteen different copies of the same file, because you need to transition betweeen apps and each one makes its own copy inside its sandbox.
I heard iphone cannot multitask and don't have back button, is that true? Dang...if that's true, i will stick with android.
@watchHalaziabyAteez, if you want multitasking, dont buy an iPhone. If you research more you will find a test on this channel.
@@user-oh5fy8id2l Oh ok, thank you sm for your information. Yess i need multitask
Not every app bro and especially games dont have a back button if I’m playing a battle royals match but wanted to play another mode I simply can’t leave without finishing the game by losing winning or dying which is so so annoying iOS seriously needs a back button or gesture.
I didn't even know that IOS is so limited
Sad fact is not a lot of people do, yet they still act like they're some top of the food chain elitist for having an iPhone
@@hyattonwyattboys bless you for this comment.
@@hyattonwyattboys now you do Apple sucks and Samsung will always be way ahead of Apple
@@larry-of9khbc they have a higher megapixel camera? Lmao
@@userware yes and a clear 100x zoom Clear not apple's crap zoom
First of all. Thank you. This video need a part 2. There are so many things that make Android more useful in my opinion. Back gesture, menus on same app, smart home controls, tons of sharing options (try to share a contact info in messenger) etc.Nearby share Google beta is awesome between windows and Android. I was also an Apple user but I sold my 14 pro max becasue it is a pain to use it. I still have an iPad (will give) but also a Galaxy tablet. Thanks again for this un biased review.
For sure iOS is getting more and more disjointed while android (pixel) is getting increasingly organized and uniform.
I understand that iPhones may have a bit smoother edges overall, but iOS in general is just way too restricted for me to use it
How is it restricted? What does iOS restrict you from doing?
@@ArizonaGunsDave placing an app icon anywhere I like ON MY PHONE would be nice....
A lot of stuff lots of it and if you have been using iPhones you may not notice till you try android for a substantial amount of time
@@ray0010 I was Android for almost 15 years before switching to iPhone 3 years ago. I have no idea what people are talking about as it relates to restrictions. First of all apps on iPhone run better than on Android and there isn’t an app out there that I want that I can’t get on iOS
@@ArizonaGunsDaveI can use torrent client on Android. File management is far better than iOS. No T9 dialing on iPhone.
all the IOS frustrations you mentioned in your video are on point, and I would like to mention two more but important things which is a nightmare on IOS
You can't "Pause" a video while recording a video
The recent call history is limited to 100 entries only, as a business we receive 60 to 70 calls a day, and every after 2 days the call history resets to zero... Now if you want to check who called last week, you simply can't.... So frustrating
Anyways great video, keep up the good work 👍🏼
Recent calls being limited to 100 is a huge bummer..
Bro, you make me stay on Android, thanks a lot😁🙏
I can record calls on my Android phone, not on my iPhone.
@@zaandam0172 absolutely waste time😌
Your recent calls reset to zero? Sounds like you’ve been hacked, I’ve had ios for years and that never happens to me.
One thing I think you forgot to mention is the Calculator app. The Calculator app in iPhones is the worst I have ever seen. It is only meant for really simple calculations, because, although the options are there, it is extremely hard to do anything more complex, since it doesn’t even show you what you are doing.
You’re totally right. I was an apple enthusiast, however due to my work I need more tools that help me to be more productive, so I switched to the One Plus Open and a top of the line Lenovo laptop and I have no regrets at all, now I can push out work faster and effectively!
But how did you know you're gonna be more productive with Android and Windows?
@@NiceEyeballs all apps and customization are in android phones
One of my pain points with IOS was that there was no toggle in the Control centre to turn on and off the Location.
Oh yeah, it's really hard to say "Open Location Services". That's faster than pulling down the control center.
@@bruxi78230 lol, yeah try saying that outside or in a crowded place. Much "easier" than one swipe. 👍
@@NyPk92 ---- You're right it may not be appropriate 100% of the time, but in my case I use voice 80% of the time. Pretty sure it didn't occur to our boy Akash ever.
@@bruxi78230 Well all voice controls, searching and writting is much better on android.
@@NyPk92 ------ With regard to control and dictation Siri works extremely well. The much faster chips we have on iOS give a superior experience. Siri is by far the most used of all the assistants because the reality of Android is 90% of users are low-end budget folks who don't use voice.
One other key factor is both Google assistant and Siri this year will become substantially better with LLM tech used in the AI. There is also a very strong chance that Apple architects a powerful local Siri that resides in a person's phone and keeps secure the personal information in the Secure Enclave. We live in interesting times.
ios is more of eye candy than a functional operating system. Atleast more so in the past decade, Apple is now bringing more features each year and you can tell its taking a toll on the stability of ios with ios16 as a case study. Its definitely not an easy feat (android devs deserve some credit). In short, Apple paid more attention to how ios looks than how it worked for users until recently.
Android on the other hand, started as a super functional operating system and in the past few years, has been getting more attention to UI design.
And for some of us, it just makes more sense to use android because of how it fits our needs.
iOS 16 really has been a roller coaster so far. I feel like the developer betas were more stable than the actual release. Let's hope they don't screw up 17...
iPhone is now giving what Android had 10-15 years before
@Mr.Eminem especially now in ios 17
This is true, I switched from S10 plus to iPhone XS I regret the decision
But iPhones are polished to make my brain think they cool but I can see the performance on Samsung is top notch more especially when you are a heavy user
Apparently ios 17 is even worse, I tried Apple out for about a year and went back to Android, iphones are alright but you're just paying for the logo and status at the end of the day.
My wife have an iPhone 14 pro max, I got an S22 Ultra and every single time I have to do something simple in her phone like transfer photos it stress me out a lot, what I do with 3 taps on Android it takes me 5 to 10 taps on iphone. It's just absurd!!!
There's just sooooooooooooo much more.
Try comparing a Samsung with an iPhone.
You'll be blown away.
As I was, when I got the S22 Ultra after dropping and destroying my XS Max.
Link to Windows, Quick Share, Link Share, Swiping from both Left and Right, S-Pen, AOD [that was a big one lol], and just soo much more.
No wonder Samsung's Flagships are the Phone of the Year(s).
Hello Ahmed Ibrahim, First of all, thank you for the brilliant video! It is precisely for these reasons that I parted with my iPhone. I've been with Android for a long time and have always used an iPhone on the side, but the operation of the iPhone just annoyed me. The whole system is way too convoluted and the worst thing about it is the go back which I love so much on Android. This is a disaster for the iPhone. It's a pity that Apple hasn't changed its system in such a way that it is the same as Android in terms of operation. I will only buy an iPhone again when its software is finally on the same level as Android. Hello from Berlin
Me too, android is too much for me in long time ago sometimes. My friend of mine asked me to buy iPhone because of camera is better. I just thought hand phone camera shot is worse or bad. Oh well, I decided to buy iPhone 12 Pro.
Apple won't change anything because if they do and mimic Android, that will make apple admit Android is better, so if they do change their system to be like Android, then it will be an Android with an Apple case lol. And they definitely don't want that, so pretty much they are stuck to what they have. Android has them by the balls 😂😂
I bought an iPhone 14 Pro and I completely agree with you, ios is a much more stupid system, especially I don't like the keyboard and the fact that you can't take a long screenshot in any application. The only reason why I did not choose Pixel 7 pro is its rounded screen on the sides and the processor is weak for gaming, I'm waiting for Pixel 8 Pro on Tensor 3.
I switched from iPhone 13 to pixel 7 pro too but the pro was too big for me so i just took the pixel 7. Hope Google brings 8 pro the same size as pixel 7.
I feel sorry for u but billions are liking it. And who the F*ck is buying a Pixel haha, while Samsung and Iphone are wayyyy better phones..
@@Tha-King-Arthur I have a Samsung S23 base model. Works great for me. I bought a Pixel 3 back in the day and the USB port snapped. I would never buy a pixel.
@@Tha-King-Arthurlmao that's a first. Pixels are fine, except maybe for the overheating. iPhones can be too fidgety to do a simple task, while on Android, especially on my Galaxy S24 Ultra, I can do it without leaving the app.
What I don't understand is why apple expects us to do finger gymnastics just to restart or turn off your phone 🤔 I mean most people have to Google how to use their iPhones
I'm an Android user and I'm proud, i will NEVER JOIN iOS. My 3 favourite smartphone manufacturers are Nokia, Sony and Samsung.
Really informative video on the differences in UX between iOS and Android in 2023. The main reasons that I prefer Android and why I switched has been due to the UX. I agree it's not a discussion of what's better (to each their own) but what one's lived experience and preference is. I appreciate your telling about your preferred UX (in a very well-done and informative video) even if that is for the Android OS. For me the preferred UX also includes Google's ever evolving ambient computing with it's AI Assistant. I truly appreciate that the Pixel series (and Google) provides an AI-first mobile UX.
I just got an iPhone 13 mini just because of its compact size. My frustration with iOS is unmeasurable!
I already have a list of 50 plus iOS annoyances compared to Android. The biggest ones being Universal Back Gesture everywhere! And Volume Controls
In general, I don't recommend hard-core Android users to switch to iOS.
Few years back I am in same bucket as you are. I switched to iPhone SE 2 for its small size even knowing it has bad battery life(I can have that compromise).
The software experience is not that good(everything mentioned in this video and comments). Musixmatch does not work. In-build song recognition and lyrics (shazaam?) goes out of sync for unknown reasons. Expensive accessories, even basic ones. USB C being way ahead than Lightning - I use one PD charger for everything(phone, personal and office laptops, TWS ....), I could not use my expensive usb c DAC anymore.
Just an utter waste of money. Even my dad could not get a good value out of this.
Immeasurable*
Bye bye...And please don't come back to IOS..
He doesn't even know what a shortcut is.. Only blablablabla..@@AnonymityA
@@Tha-King-Arthur what a sore loser lmao
There's certainly a few things I miss about having an iPhone. The system apps definitely worked better in a lot of ways. I also miss the more cohesive UI that you get with iOS. Ever since Google introduced Android 12 though it has been a huge mixed bag with regards to other companies adopting their UI to match the dynamic wallpaper themes.
I wouldn't switch back though, there's enough things about Android that keep me coming back. The way that the haptic feedback is implemented right out of the box within the keyboard is a big deal to me. Also the freedom to switch default apps is great as well.
The freedom to switch default apps.
Ok, I've used both iOS and Android (samsung and the likes). I don't understand what you mean by cohesive UI , for me, the difference is minuscule albeit, i prefer the iPhone's icon pack over Samsung's 3rd grader looking ones but i can also change that in a jiff but i'm not a UX designer so , without trying to sound condescending, what do you mean exactly? with examples if you can. No need a full detailed analysis, just some ..Perhaps, for myself, I don't feel it's a big deal breaker as long as the functionality is on point but i do know good UX design is always a good thing.
Very fair notes. Thanks for spelling out these differences, some were new yo me. I recently bought an Iphone 14 Pro and selling it back already. iOS doesn't cut it for me, especially the gesture controls on Pixel are amazing and time-saving. You simply can forget "back" buttons, "done" buttons, "home" buttons, etc.
Fantastic video Emad! You nailed all of the reasons why I don't switch.
Notifications (6:26) is a BIG one for me. Android 13 on Pixel makes it so useful to manage my notifications in so many ways and you nailed it!
8:24 Quick settings is another good one! Control center doesn't feel intuitive and its a guessing game as to what each button does. Also, in order to add more itens on Control Center you have to go into Setting app and dive into the list. On Android you can add new items directly in the Quick Settings.
You really nailed everything perfectly.
It”s not critical for most users to do extra step on their device, But it”s more important that your device will work smoothly from the start, not after several updates….
For Android, I don't like the current toggle. It takes to much space for no reason. I wish we can get 6 icons in a single row like it's was on Android 11.
I agree with everything you mentioned and there is even more and more. The frustrating thing is that in the upcoming iOS 17 update only 1 or 2 of these things will be adopted.
And people will call it “innovation”
@@DelphoxNotFound I use an iPhone and I love it but I hate what Apple is doing
I hear you on the keyboard layout and functionality. I recently swapped out the stock iOS keyboard for Microsoft SwiftKey. Solves all the problems you talked about. I know what you mean about lacking split screen and other functions. A deciding factor for me is form factor. I prefer a small phone for various reason. The 2020 SE 2 handles that well for me. EDIT: and cost. The 2020 is only $150 with decent horsepower and the best camera in that price range. Also, I'm a pretty causal user.
Right you also agree that stock iOS is shit
If you have to install an app to gain basic functionality then that's a sign you've got a badly designed product in your hands.
@@GeeEee75 not really, its just a different keyboard app. In some samsung phones they ship with samsung keyboard instead of the googles gboard
That's exactly what I wanted to hear. IPhones are for casual users. Does anybody think that a highschool girl who makes short dancing videos would use split screen, or clipboard manager, or Google translator built in the keyboard. Android is for more productive, tech nerds, and maybe businesses.
I have both and for the most part, you're spot on.
From my brief experience with iOS it looks and feels medieval. It is very cluttered with duplicated functions all over as if 3-4 iOS versions somehow fused together in a very incoherent way. The app management is a monstrosity. There is not much to like about it beyond the smooth animations that become boring after half an hour.
medieval😂
It's like windows
Joke aside, "medieval" is actually a Very Accurate term to describe these Nonsences shown in this video... It is Insane when you realize that we are at the end of 2023 and not 2014, but iOS has notifications like they are from... medieval!
Smooth animations because the OS isn't doing much!
@@benblarneyno because windows is not for tiktokers
Emad, THANK YOU for this video! I have been pointing out the "inconveniences" of iOS for years, which is why I switched to Pixel phones a few years back. Android, particularly Google Pixel Android, is so much more intuitive, convenient, and customizable. After all the hype from CZcamsrs suggesting that iOS and Android are "so similar now," I was actually considering giving iOS another chance, but your video showed me exactly what I needed to know to convince myself to stick with my Pixel Android experience. I can't wait for the Pixel 8 Pro to go on sale! I'm doing a play on words here, but I can't wait for the [pixelate] to go on sale. lol
The Pixel 8 Pro has a lot of potential based on the leaks. I hope that Google adds a pro mode to the camera and allow us to take 50 MP photos in RAW format.
@@smartphonefan5226 Yes, Pixel 8 Pro does support Pro mode and RAW format. Google did it correctly! I ended up Pre-Ordering the Pixel 8 Pro and got the Pixel Watch 2 free.
Great video! Certainly an eye opener, thanks!
That's what u call an honest review rather than other tech review over hyping ios because of benchmarks
could have added one more thing about Gboard and Google Translate integration. I currently lived in a country where common folks don't use English so whenever I am texting to my food or parcel delivery, I can just type in English it will translate to local language
Nice video! I try to explain to my friends about how good notification handling is on Android, but find I am an outlier with volume of emails and other communication streams I am keeping track of throughout a workday. If you are someone who is a "phone go brrr" type user, much of this stuff doesn't seem important. But for someone like yourself and others who use it has a true communications tool, it does matter.
Also, the iOS alarm volume is buried in their Health App sleep schedule setup (which also appears at the top of the alarms section in the clock app), so you get just the one alarm w/ independent volume control. I don't know why Apple does it like that, it couldn't possibly be that they want to collect data on your sleeping habits lol (yes, Google does this too, if you let them, but at least they give separate alarm volume if you want it).
I flip between Pixel and iPhone. The only reason I tried iOS again is that I ended up buying a MacBook Pro which I really like, and since some of my younger clients text me rather than Slack, email or Google Chat, maybe I can see if it makes things easier. At least 2 people congratulated me on no longer having green text bubbles (and those same people said something again when I went back to Pixel). Honestly the iMessage thing is okay but it is nothing really special. Apple is a master at addicting users and creating a "no-questions-asked" user base. Apple also seems to try super hard to make the animations and haptics as sticky as possible, adding to this Candy Crush like experience on the device. It's weird how much I noticed it when I switched back to my Pixel after a just a few months.
You hit the nail on the head when you said that Apple addicts its users. Not only are they blinkered by the marketing, but they're also locked into the Apple ecosystem, quite deliberately by Apple. The iPhone hasn't been innovative, in my opinion, since 2007.
Thanks for the attention in real life scenarios. It goes a long way to know how these features measure side-by-side in real life situations
This review blew my mind! Amazing. Thank you.
File management is also very annoying on ios. As a student I often had to download pdfs, ebooks and images from the web. But because of how the files app on ios is partitioned and has so basic features, you need to share the same file to a third party file manager. Even though the file is present in your iphone storage its only accessible in files app and you need to manually share it from files app to another app to access it there. This overall makes file management and sharing very annoying and a tedious process. I switched to android 3 years back and its fine management system is so much better and advanced its like leagues apart.
WDYM by accessible only in files app , in android if u download a pdf where is it accessible ?

You started with text editing and you're so right! I use an iPhone for work and typing is a disaster in comparison to Android. Especially when you want to correct something you wrote. It's just not that accurate and for instance impossible to select a word right in middle and add a character for instance. Nice video👍
Click on the word you want to edit - hold the space bar on the keyboard - swipe around and the cursor will move accordingly, letter to letter
@@AshishPrinz I know that's also possible on Android. But on Android you just tap where you want to edit and you edit. On iOS the cursor always places before or after a word.
@@jeroendevries1 I agree and it becomes a task altogether, where on Android a single touch would do
It”s not a critical to do )))
@@user-qc6kq4bf2r 😂😂stop gatekeeping bro
I’ve watched quite a few android versus iOS videos and yours is by far the best. Nice work.
I switched from Google pixels to an iPhone last year because I am a CZcams content creator and airdropping between the phone and my Mac works so well.
I also wish I could take the SD card out of my Sony full frame mirror less camera and drop photos on my pixel. For some reason I could never do that.
Saying all that, I really miss android and I’m thinking about switching back this year. Speech to text on the iPhone is a joke compared to the Google pixel.
Twas a very well made video. Like all aspects of it!
Thanks for addressing these. These are all the must that one will use on their day to day routine. No one addressed these before. Yes there are flaws in Android but those are negligible. Thanks again 👍
Those are all very valid points. I think you just convinced me to get a pixel 8 pro when it comes out. I currently have the iPhone XS Max and I'm do for an upgrade.
2yrs ago i switched from android to ios after using android for 10yrs. i always found that despite the fluidity of ios, it always felt a bit slower somehow and involved extra steps to do simple tasks. i could never explain it to others. thanks to this video, now i can! even opening bluetooth or wifi setting takes 3taps on ios rather than 2 taps on android.
Every couple of years, I try an iPhone to see if iOS has caught up, and so far it has not. All the little efficiency and customization features add up to a big reason to stay on Android.
Amazing video.. keep going.. I believe this, for me, resolves the hesitation I have to fully shift to Android (as I have been a very long iOS user). Thank you ❤
I'm an android guy but I always liked how iOS's Control center looks but after android 13, things actually switched! 13 was there for a long time but today I finally noticed that Android 13's notification panel and control panel(quick settings) looks way better now!
If you like the iOS control center you should try Android with MiUi on a Xiaomi or Redmi phone (idk if Poco has the same MiUi) it has the control center separate from the notifications and looks very similar to the iOS one
Yes you are right Xiaomi have this type of notification panel but miui is slowing down your phone and gives you garbage looks and apps that you propably never use so google Pixel ui is better (i am redmi user)
Great walkthrough of the comparisons. 👍
What a great summary! I appreciate your work
What an amazing comparison ❤❤. Just to the point and very real comparison of two platforms. I am another one coming from iOS after being an iPhone user for last 7 years. Never going back to iPhone, thank you for your hard work. #TeamPixel
Subscribed 😊❤🎉
As someone who uses both, definitely keyboard functions and Split screen/Floating windows are features i wish to be in ios soon.
If you wish hard enough, you'll get those features...in about 7 years from now.
@@GeeEee75Lol, in another 20 years from now 🤣🤣🤣
An incredably honest and in depth review sir, many thanks.
Regards from South Africa
Awesome Review. I subscribed being very detailed and specific
The separation of settings from the applications is the absolute worst anti-pattern that iOS has adopted. I never understood why anyone thought that was a good idea.
It’s that so you won’t change those settings basically. They hide them really deep so you won’t find them unless you absolutely have to and even then it’s a butch
It has been like that since the beginning (IOS version 1) so Apple has become committed now and can't change.
@Bayonet1809 wth😂😂😂
I'm not a fanboy, but I believe I know why
So settings for casual users is a one time thing. I change phones or change their stock rom pretty frequently and when I change to daily drive a phone (or a rom) (mostly it's Android) I would have to change some settings like eye comfort (reading mode or blue light in some OS), sounds and notifications for apps, what should be shown in the lockscreen, camera settings and launchers. Basically I think these apple people thought to provide settings in one place. iPhones are for casual users.
Only issue stopping from switching to iOS is the lack of t9 like search in stock dialler app and back swipe depends on app level and not all apps use them and sometimes it's confusing
Trust me,you’ll find many other issues and annoyances if you switch completely.
I have been on Android since 2017 and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. So many great features that make things much more efficient. I even learnt some new ones here. The only thing I found with my devie specifically was that the delete, clear and undo etc with the voice typing rendered a similar outcome to that on IOS in this video, i.e. it didn't do them actions but wrote out those words.
Here in Africa/uganda.. people hold iPhones to look rich but in reality they know they miss a lot from Android 😅😊
Just recently changed to ios, have been using macbook for years. Now I realize the apple ecosystem is amazing. I don’t have to use 3rd party apps to transfer my photos, copy & paste accross devices, don’t have to think where I save my notes. Thinking to get an ipad to be 2nd monitor & help me in meetings.
So they locked you down then. We can do that and more with Android that support multiple os with near sharing that apple don't support
few correction, you can access many setting right from camera and you don't need to go to settings, I think 95% of settings are there in camera app, but they are hidden (not good ux I agree). secondly neither you have to type long addresses nor you have write it in your notes, you can create shortcuts in keyboard settings such that when you type adrs -> it becomes your full address.
That being say I think this is the first video i've seen that has convinced me to consider switching to android sometime soon if things continue on iOS like this for too long
Things have been like this for years now. How long are you prepared to wait for Apple to catch up? In my opinion they never will because they know they have a captive audience.
shortcuts are different from clipboard, you can even store images in the clipboard
Keyboard shortcuts are in Android too. But clipboard is different
lifelong user of Android, switched to Android 2 weeks ago and I do not regret making this decision! for what I use my phone for, I do not need to be as productive as I would've been with an Android. the app integration is far better on iOS, and to note, my girlfriend also has an iPhone, which just makes my life easier when it comes to using my phone.
The most basic reason for choosing Android is that you can just connect your phone to a Windows laptop or PC with a USB cable, see all the folders, and drag files across in both directions, download video you've taken, upload a movie to watch on a long train ride.
Whenever I ask about file transfer at my local Apple store they start blathering on about connecting to iTunes ... just to transfer a photo I've taken !
Uh it seems you are stuck in 2015, because Apple iPhones (newer iOS systems) do support file transfer even without iTunes.
They have a file management app. Look I'm all here for valid Apple critism, but straight up nonsense or misinformation from stupid people is always a pain in the a*s
for the longest time now, I've been looking for a video like this from a guy like you. I am not gonna lie, but i hoped that you would cover more stuff.. i own both iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Pixel 7 Pro, and i wanted to sell one of them and keep the better one
i hope you make part 2 of this series soon and cover the remaining aspects, thanks.
Just keep both bro
@theelevenpost5690 well it sounds nice but trust me it's a hassle and requires a lot of effort lol
So basically you want more influence to sell your phone :)
While I think the title is exaggerated, I agree with you and I've no idea how come a company, known for their software and fleecing their customers, while making billions, are behind Android, which is basically free in comparison.
Apple should light years ahead of Android (and it was in the early days of Android), but all of this is just living on the past glory.
Aside of the ease of file transfer between Apple devices and energy efficiency, I see no real upsides of having iOS over Android. I think those days are over and Android seems to be pulling ahead more and more as the time goes on.
I loved this video, I-m also a productivity freak and these are the kind of things that hold me up of trying out IOs
That clipboard manager save me so much time especially with parcel tracking code, some courier website reset your code each time you go back to church the status, so I pinned the code to the manager for ease of access.
As an exclusive iOS user for the past 8 years, you’ve been me a lot of food for thought 🎉 really considering to switch soon but too used to continuity features between my mac and iphone 😢
Ultimately it’s down to what you need as a user that matters. It’s not like this guy speaks for everyone in the world.
@@officialvisauralYes, which is why he used the words "in my opinion" quite deliberately. I'm an Android user who has never owned an iPhone. I don't believe that I can convert iPhone users to Android through persuasion. I just wish iPhone users would be more open minded about what iPhone can and cannot do, and actually try Android, not just swallow Apple marketing messages whole. (I have tried an Ipad, which was a very frustrating experience.)
And the fact most of the features are available on older android versions... The newer versions like 12 and above only got better UI and some extra features
Great analysis there. 👍 you've got me comment for the first time on CZcams. 👏
Yet another amazing video. I would love to see you do a follow up comparison with the newly released iOS 17 and Android 14. Thanks in advance.
The idea of the video is excellent 🌚❤️
+ And for myself, I will not use any Apple device for two reasons. The first is the Apple fanboys, and the second is Apple’s horrible imposition on the user. The simplest thing is that more than one name can not be specified in the contacts together to delete them, for example
+ I have a suggestion, which is to review the OnePlus 11 and Xiaomi 13 as well. They are excellent choices, too 😁
“Apple audience?” Can u elaborate? What is that?
@@hhhmmmmmmmm
I mean Apple Fan Boys*
@@AhmedIbrahim_ oh. Thanks.
@@AhmedIbrahim_ you speak out against Apple fanboys, yet you don’t realize your an android fanboy… so doesn’t that mean you have become the thing you hate? Or is it that you don’t hate the people but actually the product, in which case your opinion is biased and invalid.
@@Danarchy3
I am not an Android fanboy. If a more powerful system than the Android system is released, I will definitely switch to it and leave Android, but I am not a fan of any company. I hate Apple for the two reasons i mentioned 🌚
I like having the option to move back and forth between these operating systems. Currently I’m on iOS because I needed a compact phone and the 13 mini was literally the only option. So far I really like it really feels like that iOS is made for compact phones, it is so comfortable to use, while bigger android phones are much better for power users who do a lot of things on their phones. Planning to use the mini in the next couple of years as a daily driver.
Apple is also a better OEM compared to most Android OEMS. Most android OEMs sell the phone and then launch a new phone.
Try zenphne 9 or 10
Z flip are compact too
GREAT video!! Thanx sir!
Great video. I even learned a few things
I would add one more drawback I felt missing in iPhones is the T9 mode I can't search the people I want to dial right from the dial pad 🙂which work flawlessly in Android devices
These kind of videos are important to spread awareness among people who haven't entered Apple ecosystem yet.
I agree with all these reasons. Consequently, there are many more reasons. For instance, modded apps have kept me on Android.
Good comparison 👏 very detailed video
Yes, I do agree with you. Without going into detail I've used Android since 2012 and I've always found it much more functional and convenient than iOS in many ways. While the hardware is the best I find that iPhone software is pretty basic compared to Android software. Good video, thanks.
iPhone allows you to use their phone the way they want you to use it, whereas Android allows you to use your phone the way you want to.
I totally agree with you Bro!!!
The keyboard features is so amazing!
Hi Emad!
Great video as always! However, I wanted to know would you consider switching to a Mac instead of Windows if that increases your productivity?
MacOS doesn't have increased productivity lmfao. It is on the contrary a lot less practical. Window management on MacOS is basically inexistant.
@@mathisbuilder That's why I asked 'if' that increases your productivity. I never claimed that Macs had increased productivity. Please read instead of just scanning.
@@mathisbuilder one simple app not only fixes, but beats Windows in that regard. BetterTouchTool. That little piece of software not only gives you proper window management, but also introduces a bazillion different trackpad gestures, Touch Bar, mouse, Stream Deck and keyboard shortcuts that I yet have to see any OS being able to beat. Windows is really the worst when it comes to productivity. Linux being the best, since it has a lot of different helper tools that give you anything you need.
The most annoying thing about iOS is the absence of a consistent back button/gesture throughout the system, people who have used both will understand what I'm talking about.
I got my 14 pro now. What to do to overcome this annoying problem. I sometimes feel like throwing it off
yup and dont even let me start on how stupid correcting text while typing a message is, and how many times slid back for no reason and lost the text... so fucking stupid
Literally swipe right😂😂
It's frustrating
@@Pierrexwrld he didn't say it's nonexistent, he said it's inconsistent. It behaves differently in different apps and doesn't exist in others.
Very good arguments, I totally agree 👍💯
Good video that encapsulates my overall positive experience with Android. Another perk of Android is that all the features you described are inherent to the operating system so whether you have a $1000 Pixel Pro or a $300 Nokia/Motorola you will have all these features, and its these features more so than a slightly better camera or slightly larger screen that make using the phone more pleasant. I like most people am not a power user. I use my phone for calling, text, taking photos, the occasional video, using important apps like my government app and banking, and for browsing the web (scrolling new sites, forums, Wikipedia and watching CZcams). Android allows me to have a feature rich phone without needing to spend $1000+ even though price isn't really a concern.
Good video. Not to mention the almost non-existent background that exists in IOS, for example when you download something in telegram, you go to another window, come back and continue downloading. It only works if you stare at that screen. (And this with all background apps turned on, without battery saving.) There are many examples of this type in IOS, if you send a WhatsApp in a parking lot (without coverage) in android it will be sent when the coverage returns, in IOS this does not happen, the message does not "wait" until it can be sent. Many things and details... I like Mac Os, but unfortunately I can't have all apple ecosystem due to IOS, I can't stand it
Same thing happens in apple while uploading something on google drive in android it's in less apps than apple i think
@@Azx12345 yes, for example Google photos or Amazon photos…, many apps.
Generally, I agree. But the sharing of photos can be discussed more. Yes, what you showed is slower and harder on iOS but the fact that you can just tap and hold on some photo and drag it to the app you want is very convenient and on Android if you want to do that you have to copy the image and paste it manually. Otherwise, yes.
Yeah I like the drag and drop feature on iOS, as you can change apps with the other finger.
It works on Android, but only in splitscreen mode and is very limited. I think now with the Pixel Fold and Tablet, it will get more support.
He needs a point to prove ios slow
ACC to him we cannot search restaurants contact info in contacts but isn’t searching in spotlight faster than searching it from contacts in an android
You can do drag and drop in Android too
Just hold the picture or group of pictures and swipe up, choose an app to send on and drop there simple
Thanks bro for the information, love it
Very useful and informative, i find it enjoying watching your videos.
