I just got my first IPhone which is the 15 Pro Max and this video helped.. what really got me over the edge was the switch to USB-C.
I’m soooo happy to have USB-C finally!
I got a iPhone 15 Pro and that was the thing that tipped me over too was USB-C I’m really loving it so far
Same here!
Me too. I left Apple because of the cable. No matter where you bought one from, they would always fail - unless it was an Apple cable. They lost my custom to Samsung for 13 years because of that decision. Now I have the 15 pro max with USB-C so I don't need to buy an extortionately priced Apple cable ever again.
Apple is going to support RCS by this fall... took them long enough. Now Android users will be able to see typing notifications, react to messages, video txt quality being good, etc. It makes the switch from Android to Apple less tempting for me now
I had an S9 and loved it. Now I got a 12. I only got it to track my mother with dementia. She’s not driving anymore. I’ll be getting an S24 or Pixel 8 soon. By by boring iPhone.
I really very appreciate that you are making your videos without background music 🫡🫡
The music is really annoying on others.
Many thanks for the useful "real" videos you are making 🌹❤️
I have only seen a few of your videos, but I have appreciated your content so far. And I enjoy that they haven’t had any music in the background for the videos I’ve seen. Very much appreciated!! Thank you!! ❤
What do you think about how the notifications are presented? I feel like when I switched to iPhone the notifications were a jumbled mess compared to Android. When I switched back to Android it was like a breath of fresh air. 😂
Notifications on iPhones are still a mess compared to Android.
Awwww you sound hurt that she’s enjoying the iPhone so much
Yes and no. I would love a hybrid between how android and iOS does notifications. I like the Notification Center iOS has but they aren’t as well organized as android.
Hate notifications on iPhone. I use CZcams 75% of the time and miss my notifications
I wonder if its a setting? Maybe try going back to certain channel's you really want notifications from and unsubscribe and resubscribe? I use iPhone XS Max, an older iPhone and always get my youtube notifications whether its a live or a comment. Good luck, hope you get it working.@@kirshens
I went from a iPhone 12 Mini to a 14 Pro and I was almost shocked by the increase in weight between the two devices. I didn’t care a lot about additional battery life because I’m almost always near a power source, I keep a MagSafe 10,000 battery pack in my carry bag. I do love having a 3X camera though, that has come in handy for me a few times and sometimes the weight comes in handy when you’re wearing heavy winter clothes. Sometimes it was hard to find my 12 Mini in my winter clothes
I do think Apple design is better and with the restrictive hardware/software controls they have, they can make improvements that is not as easy on Android. The entire eco system is interesting, but two major drawbacks for me are 1) application limitations on laptops and desktops and 2) the cost of the devices are higher for equivalent specs with almost no upgradability. To each their own. What works for one may not work for another.
I was so tempted to go with a Samsung this year and then I watched videos with several content creators where every Samsung they had started having their batteries blow up even though the phones were powered down and in temperature-controlled space and none of the other brands in that space had the same problem. One content creator said that it was literally every phone over a few years old. One had it happen with a two-year-old barely used phone. Unless you are someone who changes phones yearly, that knocks Samsung off my list.
Yes, totally agree. For the same budget I would definitely choose iPhone. However, for lower budget I would not choose used iPhone 11 over a cheaper new Samsung A54.
For some reasons happened to three phones that weren't used for a long time and the batteries weren't charged for a while. For the last 4 years I've been using Samsung and you picking an iPhone is a mistake... i have an iPhone 6stho.. it does the same job as the 15.. same os feel, same restrictive usability nothing different at all. So yea that's that :d
@@denislavdimov2347 That isn't true. There is a huge difference between the IPhone 6 and the 15. Particularly if you go Pro Max which most people do nowadays.
cost is higher bcuz they're supported longer
AirDrop was my biggest reason to switch. And, I still have the iPhone X because I’ve been waiting for USB-C. I’m finally excited about upgrading my iPhone to the 15. Yay!!! 😂😂😂
Androids version of airdrop is nearby share and if you have a samsung quickshare is samsungs version of airdrop
Dude same. Usb c all day, baby. That's what I've been waiting for to switch from android. Love Samsung but it's boring and I have an m1 macbook air now.
Welcome to Apple Jail
Quick share is better than airdrop
Keep up the good work - always enjoy your presentations and even get educated...
As an android user, who has a MacBook, I want to get an iPhone to save time sending myself files. This video is amazing with the fact that you covered everything that I had been wanting answers for, so thank you. :)
Also android (S22+) and Macbook user. There is an android app called File Manager + that is amazing and powerful. I can easily connect my Android S22+ to my MBP, my NAS and even any Windows computer on my home network. I can easily navigate the file structures locally or on the other device in either direction and its very fast. If you are still on android, give it a try. It works great as a free app but I paid the fee as I wanted to support the developer.
Iphone is so frustrating for me
I got an iPhone 13 Pro 5 months ago and the switch has been hard. no back button and on my Samsung I could screenshot whole pages, can't do that now on the iPhone but overall it gets easier to navigate daily@@maaz2505
OpemMTP has been a game changer for this, definite improvement over android transfer
Telegram
I agree with the notification system. I was so used to just swiping down anywhere on android to see a list of notifications. I had to train my brain to recognize that notifications are an entirely different Notification Center on the phone.
HI Gemine, thank you for the vídeo. It's Just amazing! I've been searching about moving from Android tô Apple for about 3 months and your vídeo is just what I needed!!!!
Hi Gemini, did you manage to transfer Whatsapp data to iPhone too with Move to IOS app?
I'm happy with my S10, but it doesn't work with my DJI Mic, so I'm thinking of upgrading. I prefer Android for specific apps, but I'm torn. Is the S23 worth it? I saw some camera comparisons and often liked the S10's photos better.
Hello I have a question how to you erase objects on photos? My. Samsung S22+ have that option in the edit. I’m confused looks like I have to download apps to do this. Another down fall on this IPhone. Plus the albums are not in order they are all randomly put in.
Me too.. Getting to notifications is such a pain. My "really old" iphone I never had this issue. I do love the camera.. It's my primary camera now for most of my videos.
I just switched from android I had a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and now I have a iPhone 14 max pro and I’m happy I did the switch. iPhone just works.
Same here. IOS just works so well.
I have a IPhone 12 Pro, but I am thinking about the Galaxy S24 ultra.
Why did you switch?
Apple has been good to me for 10 Years, congratulations on the IPhone , enjoy,but I just want to know, why. Did you have a hard time with the Phone,or were you using Android to long and wanted to try something new?
It is so stupid iPhone just works I have both and they both just work so smooth so using that thinking is a dumb excuse cause you can’t think of anything else me I prefer android for flexibility now that’s a answer lol not it just works lol it just works
Glad you're happy aith your new phone! I feel this video is just a comparison of old android vsnew ios
I am pleased to have encountered this video. I have been a long-time user of Android devices; however, I am now earnestly considering transitioning from my Samsung S10+ to an iPhone 15 Pro Max. While a high-quality camera is of great importance to me, one of the compelling factors for my interest lies in Apple's fitness ecosystem and (hopefully) USB-C. Additionally, I intend to acquire the latest Apple Watch to complement my new phone. Presently, the only Apple products I possess are an older iPad Mini 4 and the recently released iPad Mini 6.
I'm a current Samsung user, and I'm switching to an iPhone 15 Pro Model, and the watch. The USB-C is a nice change.
Same. I have a Samsung galaxy s9 plus for six yrs now. And lately the iPhone and their airpods and watch has been catching my eyes lately. My birthday is on September right when the new iPhone 15 comes out. So I too will switch to pro max
I did the switch one year ago and I had always the best Samsung possible. The only thing I regret now is that I did the switch not earlier. As soon you swap to iPhone and iWatch you will understand how nice Apples Eco-System is. Everything works perfectly! And once you have Airdrop, iMessage and Co. you won’t go back 😊
I recently made the switch it's not worth it. At least for me customization is really important and iPhones are so limited but SO limited when it comes to that. I find it funny when you look up how to personalize iPhone home screen is basically add widgets and change the wallpaper. Another aspect I don't like about iPhone is that there is no back button or easy gesture. The system goes more smoothly than my older phone but also my android phone costed me $300. I also miss the quick charge, even though I have more problems with the battery life for now, I have seen that many Iphone 14s eventually get battery life problems. So in my opinion is not worth to switch but if you going to be a slave of their ecosystem, then you should probably get it.
@@MemoryOfDeath001 Thanks for your input. I hear you on buying into there "walled garden". I use to customize my android a lot, but not so much any more. I'm willing to give it a try (iPhone) and if I don't like it, I'll sell it and go back to android. No phone is perfect and this seems like the best time to finally try an iPhone out. I'm only looking at the iPhone 15 pro models.
After being Android dev with Android devices for my whole life, I finally got fed up and switched to iPhone.
There are a minor few very annoying things about iPhone and those are the typing experience on iPhone is bad, there notifications are difficult, selecting things are bit manual.
That’s interesting that ur a android dev. It just drive u nuts, how stubborn Apple is with their os. Why make navigation n notifications more difficult? It just be an easy fix? That alone is why many android user won’t switch. Keyboard also. My main gripe, especially on a big phone is that android makes it much more user friendly. But I always go back to iOS.
@@hhhmmmmmmmm it’s a worthy sacrifice if you’re getting the best app experiences. Quick updates, fast high quality media transfer etc.
@@UnknownUser-qq1odIn what way is the typing experience bad on iPhone? Thanks.
The thing I hate the most with apple is lack of options and the stupid eSIM in the USA I use my SIM card much easier to switch phones I have 3 android phones I switch on and eSIM is a pain
How about a lightning to USBC adaptor which should be easier to carry around than a complete cable?
Re: carplay split screen, just press the bottom left 'apps' button, then press it again for split screen. It'll switch to your map on one side, then media and next direction on the other.
Great video! I'm in the same boat as you. My whole family except my mom has an iPhone. I love my Samsung, but it's not as easy to communicate and do certain things. I also miss Apple wallet. It's much better than Google.
The main reason is I went to IOS was the watch. That alone is enough to switch. Not to mention all the social aspects (workout challenges, iMessage, tablet etc…) that IOS brings.
Was it worth it?
I love my series 8, it tells me when my heart is beating too fast.
Workout challenges?
Yeah, and the watches are going to get better. They are working on glucose monitoring and other things that cause me to pause. I also love that my phone will call for emergency services if I fall or am in a crash and the satellite SOS gives me such comfort.
@@MickeyGlover My $100 Huawei does it too
Notifications on Android are like the iMessage of the iPhone. They really need to just completely overhaul the notification center on iOS and more importantly make custom gestures a thing. On Android, swiping down anywhere on my home screen opens my notification drawer, and I can swipe notifications left or right to dismiss them or easily clear all. The best part is the notifications don't disappear. On iOS if you don't pay attention to app badges you'll miss notifications all the time.
Good point. iOS baffles me. Navigation, notifications, keyboard, notifications center, seem like easy things to change to make a better user experience. Especially on a big phone. Why make users reach to top of screen unnecessarily?
That's a feature not a bug. They want you to always be looking at your black mirror.
@@hhhmmmmmmmm iphone has a dedicated gesture to one handed mode, if you don't like big phones then pro max just isn't the option, i mean i'm about to switch to the iphone 13 pro because the pro max is just overkill, unnecessary, uncomfortable to use one handed, so i just don't buy it, but if you do happen to buy one just swipe down near the bottom bar and it will just turn on one handed mode
@@NFYT thanks. I know about one-handed mode. It is convenient Android is just more user friendly for a big phone. Swiping down from mid screen brings the full control center. Other things as well. I wasn’t really clear.
@@hhhmmmmmmmm yea ig what you mean tho dw just pointing that if someone doesn’t know and struggles using iphone one handed, imo despite the fact that it doesn’t really have those universal back gestures tbh iphone has been really comfortable to use so far! People often says that is “hard” to get adapted to the gestures or how the app works but tbh even when i’m using it one handed is just that responsive and just muscle memory most of the time once you get the feel of it most ppl love it and thats why most ppl that gets an iphone refuses to go back to android, but when you change straight away then it CAN be difficult to get used to it just not that much 🙏
Thinking of switching to iPhone 15 mainly for the watch ultra
How long did it take to get used to daily use of the IPhone? I have been on android 20 years
I’m was an Android user since 2010, starting with an HTC Magic, and ending with a Galaxy S23. I have used practically all Android Flavors from all major manufacturers.
Three weeks ago I changed my Galaxy S23 to an iPhone 15, just by boredom, and my expert is pretty good overall.
But I will tell you the most disrupting things I had encountered:
- The lack of a Universal Back Button (All apps open new windows with a Back virtual button on the top left corner, but it’s not consistent, some windows has this button on the top right corner, you can close others by swiping down, and almost all apps let you swipe from the left edge to the right).
- The Keyboard. It doesn’t have a Number row, and all the special characters are hidden under a “123” button on the bottom left corner, including the dot and the comma. This was the most painful change, It took me almost three weeks to get to the same typing speed I had on any android phone, but you get used to it.
- There’s no advanced clipboard with history or something similar.
- Selecting text and moving the cursor to edit works differently.
- In general, iOS is slower than Android, and im not talking about performance, but productivity. All animations are pretty slow, and some apps only register inputs when the animation has ended. If you are a power user, sometimes you could feel like you’re outrunning the phone.
- There’s no real multitasking, like dividing the screen or floating windows.
Aside from that, all the experience is pretty enjoyable.
I have encountered little to no bugs in any app on the iPhone. Comparing it to Android, there was never one day that I didn’t encountered one bug at least: From Chrome refusing to search or redirect to a Webpage until I closed the tab, to Facebook and other Social media apps playing audio of videos from other post in the background, UI elements broken because I use bigger fonts, among others.
iOS feels more stable, it’s always ready to do any task without any kind of stutter, it just works, and all apps have a quality baseline that exceeds almost any app on Android. All apps feels, looks and works almost the same.
Photos, Videos and Audios taken from any app has better quality overall, including Calls and Videocalls (WhatsApp and Messenger).
I hope that when you need to switch back to Android, the experience is the same.
Many years ago, when i switched from iOS to Andriod, iOS made it such a pain!
I’m kind of in the opposite boat right now, I’ve been using iOS for about 13 years and I’m considering a Samsung but there a lot of things about iOS I’m not sure I’m willing to walk away from, even though I know the Galaxy phones are considered top notch. Would you go back to Android from iPhone?
How do people live without split screen? Im switching from Samsung Ultra to a Pixel this go round im excited and dreading it. I know its gonna be a little bit of a downgrade.
CarPlay does have split screen and if I am not mistaken had it before Android Auto. Matter of fact the latest Android Auto looks more like CarPlay than ever before. One feature I really love that is not available on Android Auto is the way my Garage Door opener automatically appears on the CarPlay screen when you get close to home so you do not have to search for an app like Android Auto.
This is no big deal in this day and age. I jump every other week between my Galaxy S23, Pixel 7 Pro and my beloved iPhone 13 mini (love this little phone) without skipping a beat on everything I use. I'll only buy another new iPhone if they bring back a new mini. If they don't then I'll keep my 13 mini forever and have a Pixel as a daily use main device.
I'm exactly the same! I have just switched from a Samsung S10 to an iPhone 15. I did go for the regular iPhone 15 though ... not the pro... so I really hope it doesn't disapoint me 🙈
Nice video. Butt I have a question. When you talked about carplay/Android auto are you sure you didn't mean the reverse? I was an Android user for 13 years. I now have the 14pro max. And one of the things that bugged me about Android was Android auto. No matter which phone I had it was always hit or miss. Very glitchy. And as far as I know split screen had been available on carplay fort years now. My wife switched to an iphone from Android when the 13 came out and she was easily able to split screen carplay.
Now Android auto also has it
that split screen android auto, i think depends on the car manufacturer. I bought an atoto headunit and it split screens for carplay and not for android auto. that pinch and spread to zoom, it works on carplay and android auto with the atoto headunit also. you'll probably need an update for the car's software.
Filmic Pro transitioned to subscription on all platforms. Doesn't matter for iphone users though as the free blackmagic camera app rules and can pretty much replace it
Finally someone else talking about the same issues i saw with apple carplay. I really hope their new update to it coming in late 2023 makes it act more like android auto because then I might make the switch. AA is just so much more user friendly where apple carplay is so dated. It blew my mind when i couldnt pinch to zoom in on the map when my friends phone was plugged in.
I know it's kinda weird but i have both android and iphone and I really need to choose one because it's hard to use 2 phones but i cannot let go of either one 😅
So then if you only have 128 Gb on the phone then how can you shoot 4K video? 20 minutes of 4K takes up 200 Gb which is more than your phone has. The only thing I can think of is it goes directly in the Smug Mug service but I would imagine it has to be on the phone's hard drive first before uploading. If you have any information you can share that would be appreciated.
Your info is compressed and there is different formats to compress media so you can fit more
Is it an american thing or you guys dont know the apps called whatsapp?? Its is very straight forward to setup and its cross platform between android, ios and even a mac/windows browser (yes... it sync with the fon apps and yes you can chat while using your mac/pc browser). Making a video call is also very easy. Click a contact and click video icon. Group video call was also available.
Whatsapp is an American app 😂
It’s owned by Facebook no 👎 no thank you!!
I've been contemplating going over to apple again to try it out again and since most of my family uses iPhone it makes contacting much easier but, I use Windows PC and won't change from there to Mac or anything like it. I'm also intrigued by the vision pro. But I am afraid to lose so many ease of use features that Android phones have like a clipboard for my keyboard and my keyboard just remembering email addresses, and code addresses that I've typed in before. Also things like google key board and its ability to translate what ever i type in English to Spanish.
You will be able to view more than one app on apple car play. I normally have Waze open along with my music and calendar
wish me luck on my 3rd attempt on trying iphone. 1st was iphone se 2 back when it released, then i switch to 12 mini but lasted only 2 months. This time around, waiting for my 15 pro max delivery lol
Good luck I wish kept iOS 16 don’t like 17
I'm like you, i always had an iPhone then i switched a couple years ago and my main thing for switching back and I know this sounds dumb but the current phone I have doesn't support gmail notifications on starred emails that I need to get and respond to immediately so I've had to turn the notifications on for EVERY email has driven me crazy. I also agree with the FaceTime feature and I missed AirDrop so much especially because everyone in my family has iPhones.
Same here-I recently switched from my Note 10+ to iPhone 15 Pro Max. So far, I like the experience. ❤
Still enjoying it? I just recently bought a base 2020 m1 macbook air. It is the best laptop I've ever used. If I still was hardcore gaming lot, I wouldn't say that, but it's amazing. It has fully convinced me that iphone will be a quality experience. Plus there's the appeal of it interacting seamlessly with my laptop. I'm so used to android but I think it's starting to appeal to me.
Currently I have the regular S23. Should I go with the 15 pro, or should I stick with my S23?
Totally depends on your preference, but I would go iPhone 15 Pro.
@Gemini_Connect I saw some reviews and the only bad aspect about it, is the battery. It seems it could have been wayyyy better :/
The DOJ should use this video for evidence in their case against Apple.
Im considering switching for the iphone15 since itll have a usbc so i can still use all my existing chargers. Thenonly down side is i noticed the samsung wireless chargers, charge iphones more slowly /: and i have 3 of them around my house!
If you care about 120hz get the 15 Pro and not the 15
The iphone software knows if you are using an Apple charger or a non apple charger, that is why your iPhone charges slowly on a non apple charger.
Apple dose this on purpose to try to get you to buy an apple charger.....FACT.
@@robertvogt1527 Stop spreading false information, this is simply not true. You can use a 20 -25 watt charger brick that isn't an Apple brick and it will still charge at 20 - 25 watts, in fact, most people do this rather than buying an Apple brick. Like me, my phone fast charges on a SAMSUNG charger ( I have an iPhone 15 Pro )
@@RealMrMizter it’s not the brick it’s the charging cord if it’s not a Apple certified Apple cord it will charge slower it’s in articles everywhere Apple is just trying to make money
@@techierg1862 Articles spit bs all the time, and my phone charges at full speed with an amazon basics USB C cord, so I’m pretty sure the slower charging was only with non Apple lightning cables. And charging speed has mostly to do with the brick now, most cables can hold a lot of watts. But yeah, my phone charges the same speed with a amazon basics USB C cable as it does with the Apple one that came with the phone
I have also Garmin watch, and I love it. I had to test that Garmin Connect works in my old iPhone 7, so isnt't it really work on iPhone 14? I have now android phone, but I'm going to switch back to iPhone on the future.
Garmin Connect works just fine with iPhone. You just can’t make a widget on the home screen that shows your stats in a recap like you can on an Android.
I upgraded the iPhone 7 to 14 about 2 months now and I like it 😄✌🏽
🤯🤯🤯
Great video. Long time Android user here. When Apple gives the iPhone a back button and gets rid of that (IMO) intrusive dynamic island I may consider switching over.
I have never had an iPhone and started with Blackberry moving to Samsung Galaxy. I currently have a Galaxy Fold 5 with a Latercase, Magsafe ring and Oh-Snap instead of a Pop Socket. Android phones feature more cutting edge tech that takes years before they surface on iPhone. The only advantage to using Apple is if you use proprietary apps in their ecosystem like iMessage or FaceTime.
You do know that Samsung has "magsafe" ? Atleast my galaxy s10e has... Its just the same functionality, except less marketed. AND mine works with burga case.
I am going to be getting a iPhone 15 Pro Max, coming from a Samsung s20 Note Ultra. I noticed that a few of the cons that you listed are now fixed! Such as the weight, and the charging cable! I am hoping to have a great experience when I switch, as I have an iPad and Airpods aswell.
I'm totally in the android ecosystem, ..maybe, possibly, ..considering the switch. Any regrets?
@@theblindsharpshooterI'm looking to get an iPhone because I've been so impressed by this macboom air m1 base model that my brother handed down to me. It is serious quality in power efficiency, build quality, and usability. I'm hoping iPhone feels just as premium. My s22 ultra has given me so many problems. Just poor battery life, Bluetooth connectivity issues and all this other stuff that I've never had with a Samsung phone before. So now I'm thinking iPhone??? Maybe....??
@@hobosnake1 I had a Note 20U with no issues. I made the jump to iPhone and have started selling my google accessories and converting them to apple products. There are some things iPhone doesn’t do as good as android and vice verse but overall I’m enjoying apple just fine
I enjoy the 14pro chunk and lighting is nice tbh
@@theblindsharpshooter There are some things to get use to, but overall I am enjoying the iPhone experience a lot better, it seems to be smoother, apps work better, and the cameras are pretty nice and have cool features as well. Also the battery on my 15 Pro Max is actually insane to me, I can get two days out of it without having to charge it. (compared to my s20 Note Ultra would last maybe one day with light use)
Your S10 also had all those cameras modes, and more, but it's doesn't look like you explored them much
I think it's because of the design: the iPhone camera app is quite easy to find modes etc whereas on Android you often need to go into the settings menu and it changes depending on what camera mode you are using. And so many people are unaware of all the modes and features on their Android phone
Actually CarPlay does have split screen, always had it.
Was an android person for years but when I had an iPad everything just followed and now I just can't go back. It's like what they say once you're accustomed to the apple ecosystem that everything is just seamless it's hard to make a decision to switch to android.
Om about to do a temporary swich to a iPhone to see if I like it. I have a ipad, macbook, and my family uses iphone.
I like to switch between both, magsafe and crash detection on both the series 8 and the iPhone 14 is a reason to switch.
Android has MagSafe cases so not really a big deal anymore
I've been thinking a lot on switching to Iphone. I currently have a Samsung S21+ and I have been an android user for 15 years. I got disappointed with my s21+ becuase of the freaded green line issue on the screen and I habe always been curious what having an Iphone feels like.
In case I'll jump in and buy an Iphone 15 pro I still won't be able to let go of android since I'm knee deep in the android ecosystem 😅
Question: If you have PCs and you want to get pics or video off of the phone, or iPad, how do you do that????
Also is there a way to copy your Android stuff (apps, contacts, etc) onto an iPhone. I'm going to buy a used iPHone 12 as a backup camera and video device.
I use an app called Local Send. I think it’s open source and cross platform. In my experience, its very stable and typically transfers at 35-70MB/s depending on your device. The transfer rate doesn’t fluctuate at all. It will be constant, whatever it is depending on how old your device is. Its also free, has no ads and looks nice.
I'm thinking of upgrading my Note10 plus to an iphone 15PM. I've been nervous about transition from Android to Iphone so thank you for making this video 😊
don't do it. just don't
Like you, my family is all on Apple. Facetime, messaging, and airdrop are the only three things I like about apple. I strongly dislike the interface, the weight, wouldn't use any iCloud or anything, and would miss my Google integrations as I'm a heavy user. This video was informative and I appreciate it but I'm not convinced.
Everything Google works on iPhone. It is Android (by Google) that gives the problems. But the Google services work normal, full integration, they just look nicer. No need for iCloud, iTunes or any of that if you do not like it but it helps A LOT.
@@chrisspainPretty sure there's no avoiding the app store. Also no split screen in 2023 is insane.
What's app and nearby share does the samething
There is usually something in android that does the same thing Apple does but more flexible they will play well with others unlike apple if you don’t have apple everything? Apple is like a spoiled child that say you will only play with me no one else but that’s big corporation thinking all money
@techierg1862 really? I use an android phone and Sony true wireless earbuds. My MacBook works fine with my earbuds. Would they work better with airpods? Maybe. The only thing that sucks with apple is the iphone uses aac and doesn't support the best audio from a lot of earbuds.
I was an Android user I switched for the same reason, my family. But now that I’m a iPhone user I don’t THINK I’ll go back to Android yes. I do miss the customization of Android but I just feels like IPhone is more secured.
100%
meh. It isn't , though :)
I just switched from s21 to iphone 15 same reason family chats. They said I can try it of 15 days. Do you think I'll like it? I want to give it a chance but I always swore I'd never switch
@@tylerh1930 I know you will bro! It’s going to take some getting used to but you can’t go wrong I have the iPhone 14 I bought it last year and I love it!🙂
The secure is a lie but if it makes you feel warm and cozy at nite then great stupid people that don’t know how to use tech is what makes things less secure
Came from galaxy phones , last phones was S9 . I tried iPhone 13 for a year . I used iPads for years still do. Hated the iPhone . Customization sucks . Too many restrictions with ui . I guess face Id. Rocks. Finally went back to Android. S23 + is now my new daily . No more complains . I do miss face Id .
My next phone small S23 😊..that one ui 6 better be good
@@KoalaBeer. I have a s23 a s23ultra a pixel 7 pro a pixel 8 pro a iPhone mini 13 a s22 a s22plus had a s22ultra I really like both the s23 ultra and the pixel phones they are great iPhones are good but the restricted nature of iOS is not for me I do use a iPad but don’t use much for except watching videos
Very good video. I did the change over also after many years with Android. Have 15 Pro. And got watch 9. Highly recommend this watch. Even tells me when I am hearing more than 90 decibels of sound. Important for your hearing health. Love the form factor of phone. Android insists on having a big brick.
i currently own and use a samsung galaxy s8 which is not working that well anymore because its old. Im thinking of buying a new phone and i did my research because i dont know if i should buy a samsung galaxy s23 or an iphone 13. I think its gonna be really hard to switch to ios after 8 years on android, but i really think imma go with the iphone 13. For the ios users, i got a question. I got 64gb full of photos and videos which i wanna transfer to the new iphone i will get. Do you think i will be able to fit the 64gb of photos and the apps i need on an 128gb iphone? Please let me know.
Yes, it should fit in 128GB of storage.
Great video! Other things not to like: lack of flexibility in home screen icon placement, lack of a system-wide back button, and a truly inflexible standard keyboard. Of course, there are other compensating advantages, as you suggest. YMMV!
Yeah but these are subjective things. The system wide back button complaint is disingenuous as iOS does use swipe to go back on nearly everything it does. And the default keyboard is leagues above Gboard and all third party android keyboards. I understand the rigid icon placement complaint but I think it’s still subjective for most people.
@@ILoveGrilledCheese The default Apple keyboard is nowhere near as good as Gboard on Android. And the iOS 'back swipe' is hit or miss, nowhere as consistent as Android's gesture.
@@djross95 I'd have to say the best keyboard around is using Gboard on Pixel, but Apple has made improvements in the default keyboard over the years. I just wish 3rd party keyboards on iOS were viable alternatives to the default.
@@justinbprice Agree 100%!!
I watched your first video on this subject and sure. Dictation seem to be the thing you overlooked on android. To me switching makes sense for you as a Mac user. Airdrop and continuity with Universal Clipboard will draw you in deeper into the ecosystem and bring more value to both your Mac and your new iPhone together. Saying that there even is an android ecosystem is just wrong. It’s a puzzle of services. Being able to start a message or email on your phone and just continue on your Mac or copy/paste anything over is almost magic. A tip for the odd android friend or colleague. FaceTime links are a thing now. So you can send a FaceTime link in an appointment or sms that work on both android and windows!
iphone sucks for us pc users android works seamless with pc
Well that is just plain wrong. Have you tried the later versions of the my phone app on windows? Cut paste messages copy text and pictures move files easy with Edge platform independent. Is it good? Yes. Is it better than the Android integration? No. Does it suck? Also no. But it still doesn’t constitute an ecosystem
@@driver288 android has airdrop to call nearby share. Samsung and google have seamless abilities between their tablets watches and pc as well.
Samsung has a big ecosystem they make more products than apple and your devices work all well together
@@techierg1862 well not really. They make devices and yes they try to integrate them well. But it’s not a true ecosystem. They don’t control software and hardware since phones and tablets run Android and their PC s run Windows. Sure there is the phone companion windows app and Microsoft and Samsung are in partnership making devices working together easier. But it will never be as seamless or effortless for the user to actually use and never as efficient in terms of software or power.
The last part about Apple CarPlay must be vehicle dependent. Because on my friend’s car she can do all the things she claims she can’t.
May indeed be vehicle independent. But a friend pointed out that my CarPlay app was stuck in Maps mode. Once I fixed that it showed the multiple widgets.
Go Samsung! 😎 Looking forward to the S24 Ultra in February.
I am using the iPhone 14 Pro, and I agree that it is quite heavy. I also dislike the lightning cable that comes with it.
I gotta say, iPhone 15 is a huge improvement. It’s way lighter and now has USB-C!
@@Gemini_Connect Regrettably, I'm unable to afford the 15pro currently, having bought the 14pro just three months ago. In hindsight, I should have waited until October. I believe it's wiser to stay with the 14pro until the release of the 16pro next October, which I anticipate will be similar to the 15pro but with additional features.
Regarding the camera's still photo quality, I'm dissatisfied as it doesn't justify its cost. What is your opinion about this?
However, I appreciate the video quality.
good luck imma switch from iphone xr to 13 pro very excited 🙏🙏
maybe you are not a power user just yet. Android is a better productivity platform.. Just look at Android split screen feature where you can take a photo of your receipts, open it through google lens, splitscreen it with calculator app and take the readings out from the receipts to the calculator without switching to the app back and fort
-hurt android user.. there’s a reason why iPhones always sell more, there are simple better
@@dadillonful apple is not always simpler like if you need to change settings is it easier to leave a app go to phone settings then go back of say in a app change settings there I’ve had both might have even had more iPhones than you have I’ve had a Apple Watch computer iPad phone air pods just in case you decide to tell me I know nothing about Apple lol
I used Samsung Galaxy for almost 6 years. 1 month ago i switched to iPhone 15 Pro Max and im really really happy. I already was used to IOS because of my iPad. The Apple Eco System is a dream from now on Team Apple 👑👑👑
The only reason I'm on this video is I'm considering the switch mainly due to Siri.. The VA doesn't miss a beat. It somehow it understands jibberish
Interesting. Most prefer Google assistant over Siri. However, Siri has gotten better lately. Suppose to be even better in iOS 17
Congratulations! I am happy if it fits you. Personally, I love the iPhone design, the curve is beautiful, and the video camera is also stunning. But what annoys me is the OS itself. call history is awful as the dialer phone, the typing experience also painful, same as the navigation through the phone, and the most crucial to me is no fingerprint unlock. Because I ride my motorbike very often and stop to check messages and phone calls, and the face id doesn't work with the helmet on. Again this is my preference.
Damn! We should get together and celebrate .Last i iPhone i had i phone 3G also
I've been on Android from Samsung S1 up until Samsung S10 - and I love the S10. But I wanted to get an Apple Watch Ultra. So a month ago I got the Watch with an IPhone 15 max pro. The Watch is great, but the Iphone is so different and not userfriendly to me. 🙄 I too really miss the 3 buttons on the buttom on the S10.
I just switched from pixel to iPhone and I’m liking it so far
Thanks for balanced comment. I have been life long android user and have used iPhone 6, 6s and 8 in past for short times.
Currently I have the money and want to buy 15 pro max or s24 ultra.
The only thing is pushes me towards iPhone pro max is photos and video quality that is unmatched.
But I can not compromise on so many features that android and especially Samsung OneUI provices. Here are several that are completely missing on iOS. So iOS is the pain point for me.
- call recording (in my local property related work it is so much important)
- notification management is so well on Android
- changing ringtones; iOS might not allow me to put on my Godfather/GameOfThrones/HarryPotter theme music
- switching files easily to Windows OS machines. Here in India apart from my software engineering world hardly anyone uses Macbooks and hence we need easy access to file transfer
- multiple apps on split screen or in their windowed manner (this is a huge thing and I have lot of such utility in daily life)
But I also want great video capturing and photo capturing that I craved since I was 12 Years old. So I'm super confused need someone's help haha
You stated many valid reasons why you should stick with Android. I'm in the same boat and as much as I'd love to try an iPhone there will be several limitations like transfering files between my phone and Windows PC. Compressing files into a zip file especially when needing to send an email with large files for work. Just a lot of window based programs there will be limitations with apple and apparently car play is a lot worse than android auto. And no notification bar. List goes on. If you already have a MacBook, iPad, etc it would be different but not being part of that ecosystem will be a hard transition I feel and a lot of sacrifices to accomodate it.
@@alb.4089 yes this is what irks me the most!!!
@@alb.4089 agreed! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I did buy a s24 ultra and yes in near future might go for a MIRORLESS DSLR camera
@@pbdivyesh Nice! Enjoy your new phone. I bought the S24 plus after trade in but I returned it and got the base S24 for it's compact size. The promo and trade in value was pretty awesome for customers who took advantage of it. I plan to by a DSLR camera also for when I travel. If you have any top camera recommends that would be great.
great video, i just switch from Android to Iphone today . I always bee nan Android user for many years, like you said everyone has an Iphone so i made the switch. YEs the new iphone 15 has the type c lol . I have the Iphone 15 pro max. thank you for the great video.
Nice video. Thanks! One thing I don't like about iPhones (I already tried 2 times to like the iPhone) - the way how some of the apps look. For example iMessage. The UI is... dated? UX is nothing close to Samsung Messages. In Samsung Messages I have minor improvements which do not bloat the UI, but help a lot for example I can scroll my big SMS list having the date preview. It's a very convenient feature. And it's especially annoying that I can't change the default text application on iPhone (on Android I was using Signal as default, but then Signal dropped SMS support so I switched to Samsung Messages). PS. You can't migrate Signal database from Android to iPhone too - yet another issue. Grr....
I always thought andoid auto was complete crap compared to carplay.. I do have an android work phone though and interested in giving it another shot out of curiosity (my primary phone is 15 pro)
I am very luck to have both because of what I do. For a quick check of email, gaming, Facebook etc I default to iPhone but for a lengthy phone use or productivity I prefer Android. The Android experience is less frustrating (same with Carplay vs Android Auto) and I like the camera settings being in the camera. Also the whole navigating back experience is better on Android. But for a quick, slick pick and and check experience I prefer iPhone.
Ohhhh haven't regret a minute buying S23 Ultra!
Both are great options. There is a social pressure that iPhone has, but it depends on your friends and family if that matters.
S23 is a second rate phone.
@internationalplayboy8685 that's just a laughably stupid statement, and I'm an iPhone fanboy
I need to redo the transfer of my WhatsApp messages once I fully transfer over to my iPhone 12. It is my nice backup/travel phone! My Samsung S20 FE is on its last legs so I need to hop on to my backup soon (iPhone).
First!
I’ve been lightly considering switching to android for one reason. Game emulation. Right now I carry my iPhone and a separate android based retro gaming handheld right now. I was thinking it may be easier to just get an s23 ultra with a controller and just use the Samsung for everything. I’m pretty invested in the Apple ecosystem so it’s unlikely that I’ll do that. It would be nice though.
Still have 90 percent on my iphone 12 mini. How you ask. Don't use mag safe. Use a regular charger mag safe destroys batteries.
I always enjoy your videos. You make technical things less threatening.
After all these years, the iPHone keyboard STILL does not have a number row. Really????
Those gestures drive me bat-poop crazy!! Where is the dang bck button? Clsoing all apps? Arrrggh!!
It would be great if you teach us that aspect.
Question: if you have MagSafe, how would that work with a gimbal that has a magnetic clamp, like an Insta360?
I have an ancient iPhone 8 and 2 iPad but getting stuff OFF of them is so difficult. I edit on PC. I sue an app (music collab) called Acapella and getting your videos off my iOS device is hard!! Even getting stuff off iCloud is a pain. SmugMug may be the way to go!
I don't think I would go iPhone as my primary phone. It's more for filming because so many devices like gimbals are so geared towards iOS unless you have a top of the of the line Samsung.
I haven’t seen a MagSafe dedicated gimbal come out yet, but that would be amazing. Currently, any magnetic attachments like the Insta360 Flow and DJI OM6 come with universal phone grips that provide the magnet attachment, so they don’t attach via MagSafe.
@@Gemini_Connect OK, excellent. I was wondering about that as I just got an DJI SE and an Insta-Flow. I was thinking about getting a MagSafe for my old Andoird phone which works on the DJI but was wondering if that magnet would interfere with the clamps for both gimbals.
speaking of: do you have a video about gimbals for dummies. I'm struggling!
I'm a Samsung user, and I'm switching to the iPhone 15 Pro model. USB-C is a nice change. As for a watch I'm looking at the Garmin 7S Pro Solar Sapphire model.
Uodate
I just switched to iPhone 15 pro max I love it
I'd be tempted to go back to iPhone if they weren't so unrepairable and anti right to repair. Plus I want my next phone to have a headphone jack and expandable storage again.
iPhones are really repairable wdym
@@dan-_-S no they aren't. The parts are firmware locked to the phone. Also need a fancy laser if you want to replace the back glass.
@@computersales or you can literally just grab something and break chunks of them also android screen replacements are noticeably more expensive than iPhone screen replacements. iPhone are generally easier to repair
@@dan-_-S lol sure. 🤡 Android is easier to repair because I can easily buy replacement parts and don't have to rent fancy tools to fix them.
Im in my first week on the S9 Ultra after comming from the M1 iPad. Its painful so far. Noting is easy and i feel like im on the first gen iphone. 😢
I occasionally have to use my husband’s Samsung and I have completely forgotten how Android works 😅
Strange issues, I’m a longtime user. I’ve not had some of these issues. My older 2020 Chevy is always a day late with cellular service. But my only real issue on my 14 pro max is no USB-c connection. The world has accepted “C” but Apple!? I live in a rural part of Illinois, and the SOS 🆘 system is very well accepted by those of us who are government elected officials. No party preferences please! I don’t work that way!!!! 🤷🏼💭🙏🏻
I'm making the switch right now due to frustration with Samsung bringing Exynos back to Europe. I sold my s22 ultra because the battery was horrendous, no way I'll pay premium price for a not so great chip ever again.
I do love my galaxy watch 5 though and I still have a Xiaomi 12 as a back up phone so I might leave the watch connected there for a while and see how much I'll miss having notifications etc.
Nobody I know uses facetime or iMessage cause here in the UK Whatsapp is quite strong so my decision to switch was pretty much out of curiosity (my last iPhone was the iPhone 5, 8 years ago) and buying time until Pixel sorts their chips 😂 Pretty sure I'll be back to Android in a couple of years as I love the extra features and excitement 😊
For now, iPhone 15 pro max in blue titanium it is, hopefully arriving on the 27th 👏🏻
I will switch to the iPhone 15 for the exact same reason, my s21 ultra and s22 ultra batteries are atrocious. I have been it scenarios which my phone would be on 15% and suddenly they just die
@@alexyazji same!!! A few weeks ago I was using navigation + whatsapp on 4g, the thing would heat up, dropped from 40 to 10% in about 30 minutes and it just died. I was so angry. Exynos is so unreliable with the battery.
I have both in my pocket for work. I much prefer my Galaxy Ultra. But they each have benefits.
Google has a long exposure straight in the camera come out with beautiful pics right out the phone
Have you tried adding loyalty cards to apple wallet? What a nightmare that is hey? Why can't you just take a pic of it or enter the number? Also how is airdrop easier than plugging your android device into your MacBook and drag and dropping your files? You get higher transfer speeds and it's not wifi dependant.
my mac won't recognize my galaxy s20+. i cannot transfer any files from my phone to my computer. I am thinking of switching over to iphone.
if you said you are using android for years and yet you didnt know how to do point-to-point wifi connection (some people give it unusual name: "airdrop") then i dont think you are capable android user
I never claimed to be a capable Android user. Just a long term one 😅 😂
I have iPhone 3G in 2007 😂 12 pro max almost 3 years awaiting 16 nest year 😅
