@@SergioLlamasTravel That's not called paying that's called spending your life savings xD
That was a fun video having both of you in there as I watch both your videos. The comparisons and the camaraderie was very enjoyable but the conversation itself was entertaining and informative. Itâs funny how I watch so many comparisons about phones Iâve never owned and probably never will and still find them informative and enjoyable. Itâs almost like watching a game between two sports teams and I really donât care who wins but I just enjoy the entertainment, between the two of you and a few others Iâve learned a lot and although Iâm certainly not a techhead, Iâm not ignorant anymore either lol. You guys keep making the wonderful videos and I will keep watching. You both have a friend in Columbus Ohio :-)!
In my opinion, it isn't a question of who is the best. It's about who is the best FOR YOU. For example, for companies which need everything to work seamlessly, IOS is better. But for people who want more customisation and features, Android is better. It is also a manner of preference.
indeed, it's just taste
U forgot the biggest factors... Money
@@aishik5127 if you have the money then you would buy it so yeah still Apple
Yes, i prefer Android
Customize a bad software = bad software.
I'm surprised by the environmental score going to Apple. Apple phones while made from recycled materials are made in such a way that makes repairs very difficult compared to most Android phones. One could argue that Apple's poor repairability contributes more to e-waste than Androids. Surprised that didn't get a mention.
I totally agree. Android should have won that one.
The lightning cable alone can get the androids a win
Did you check Arun's previous video. He visits the iPhone recycling factory. They want every iPhone to be recycled. I don't see that from Samsung and certainly not from Xiaomi. And nowadays most phones are full of glue. Apple sucks in repairability because of the vendor locked parts etc.
I'm Asian
@@SF-li9kh You can literally get any android repaired locally
This whole video seems like Arun is interviewing Marques. Instead you both should have kept separate scoreboards and avarage it out at the end.
What did you guys smoke before making this video? đ
This video sponsored by Apple. Thanks for Watching .
Ainât no way Iâm the first comment đđ
Same
This video sponsored by apple because they filmed this in the USA
You sure?
Oh so if android won it wouldnt be sponsored by samsung or any android company?
NO ITS NOT SPONSORED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT SAY IT. IF IT WAS ACTUALLY SPONSORED AND DID NOT SAY IT, IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL BY BRITISH AND AMERICAN LAW.
A negative point on the eco-friendliness of Apple is that they are strongly anti-repair. They make it near impossible to repair, even with the Apple care program. It's just to silence the Right to Repair movement.
Edit: By the Apple care I meant that Self repair service they launched. I'm talking about that. You don't need to remind me on every one of the 50 comments.

Still very cool though
Just mind blown by the fact that MKBHD shares his candid personal opinion, coming on top of his head and the precise details and facts in them make so much sense that everyone would nod and say " yeah, that's right"!
1.Vibration strength you can adjust on Ultra phone (iphone user won't know about it).
2. No fingerprint scanner under display on iPhone.
3. Four large icons only you cant add the 5th icon to the lower row on iPhone.
4. You can't rearrange icons, i.e. have one icon in the left and one in the right corner on iphone like wtf.
5. To close all open pages on iPhone you have to swipe with one or teo fingers totally stone age. On android there is an option to close all pages at once.
P.S. I just dont understand how come apple users can be so boring đ I always thought all CEOs or big company peoppe use iphone because they like to be different. Well, everyone knows you stand st the store and iphone ringtone makes everyone to check their phone because no one bother to change it. On android phone you can set video wallpaper on lock screen. You can have icons anywhere you like it and have many icons smaller size. Iphone 6.7 inch display with 4 icons per row is a grand parents choice. Tim Cook should buy new eye glasses đ
And that 240 gram brick cost soooo much money đ
I think calling it "Android" vs "iPhone" is inherently problematic as Android should be against "iOS" since Android is NOT a phone, but Android is an operating system applied to thousands of phones every year and an iPhone is the phone exclusively able to use iOS. The closest comparison would be iPhone to Pixel since Pixel is produced by google directly. The big thing that Android wins in is the variables of choice that iOS doesn't have. If I can only afford a low end android, I can get one and update later to a flagship one.
In my opinion, not Pixel but Samsung. Google seems to be slowly giving up on their Pixel, not releasing in some countries and a lot of their Google ads now promote their Samsung partnership and show off Google services on the Samsung device ecosystem.
@@seicgames4587 Samsung is integrating Google Messages on their phone better than Pixel phones are. Itâs crazy. Right now the only thing Pixels really have going for them is natively running GCam which is still the best software based solution in my opinion.
This is spotted on. iOS vs Android. Yeah! Not iPhone vs Android. Certainly gonna be chaotic.
@@seicgames4587 I would only say Pixel because Pixel is produced by the same company producing the operating system. So itâs not a matter of the best phone running android, it would be iOS on iPhone vs android on Pixel. That being said if we are just talking phones, then that should be more about features then operating systems. Itâs just a hard Feild to play in since android as a system is pretty much made for phone companies to adopt and tinker with while iOS is behind the gilded cage of iPhone.
Nope, theyâre comparing iPhone running on iOS VS hundreds of Android âphonesâ, not just comparing the operating systems
I switched from Apple to Android a few years ago. There's no way I'm going back to IOS ever again! I love the freedom I find in Android phones.
You said it
Thats true.
the only thing you love android is tons of free apps.
@@dexter23foxy how can u know tht
And I did vice Versa
I enjoyed this video but I think that the comparison had a couple problems. I am an android fanboy so take this with a grain of salt. I felt that they needed more parameters in picking android comparisons. Because there's such a broad spectrum of android phones comparing by average isn't totally fair, because it gives the user the opportunity to buy based on preferences. And get the best experience in the category they care about. The user doesn't experience the average of android experiences but the specific one delivered by their specific android. I think it would have been more fair to compare iPhone to the best of android in each scenario. For example android should have won the sustainability category because of the fairphone and nokia.
I still enjoyed the video and they did touch a lot of nuanced points but I think the final score should have been different.
Welcome to iSheep club marques and Arun đ
I appreciate Apple for their designs and functionality. We have are own preferences. And the reason Apple has more sheep is because their products are better than Android and more people find navigating Apple easier
â@@Juve_Fan2601Android is not better they're just the designer equivalent for tech.
If you use Android regularly then split screen is definitely a huge help. It made handling tasks easier.
yess lifesaver.
i use it like daily no joke.
I only use it if watching CZcams and want my wyze app open to look at my camera live stream. Very helpful for only so far for me.
Your bias
Honestly, I only used it in fringe cases was more of a gimmick then a feature and I would consider myself fairly tech savvy
I think Android should have got more than 2.5 points, but most of these categories are very close and subjective and depend on how you see it.
iOS is more reliable, Android is more customizable. But both are constantly improving and copying each other. At the end of the day, it's all about preference.
Nah, it was basically clear idiocy there, no offense.
iPhone isn;t the best at photos, but I'll choose iPhone.
iPhone literally uses the least recyclable materials and packaging, and is the most anti-repais, but because they market their Eco-Friendliness, it wins.
iPhone sucks at features and is basically a few generations behind, lets call it a draw.
iPhones have no options, and cost quite high, Android clearly has more options that can get better value, let's call it a draw... oh wait cut cut.
Only thing I hate about android it's to fragmented hence the camera app problem maybe If they worked more towards one universal system for all android phones would help?
@@nikhilpaleti3872 They also created a comparison environment where it's easy to default to iPhone by drawing in a garbage Android phone as comparison. Such a clickbait video.
@@nikhilpaleti3872 That's the truth I was searching about
Exactly...you'd simply know they were in favour of the iPhone. What a biased argument...
Just remember this..when you buy an iphone its not yours..
Itâs so funny that Aruns personal phone is an iPhone but heâs defending Android, and Marques personal phone is an S21 Ultra and heâs defending the iPhoneđ
The fun part is, apple was given a 3/10 for repairablity and the forces itâs users to pay 60% of the cost of the product to repair basic parts that could have been easily fixed for fraction of the cost. The only reason it won the that category was because of its insane ability to market itself out of all its problems
i dont see anything fun here
Bruh every company charges u more if you go and fix the phone on their stores, a lot of ppl complain about this, then just go to a 3rd party service its that simple, where i live we dont have apple stores and go to 3rd parties for repairs, i never have problems + half the price duh.
Apple marketing is literally insane
IPhone is crap. The only people who find iPhone better are the ones who don't know how to get the most of their hardware rigs. IPhone just restricts everything and for doing so, it's better for simple people. If you like not fully utake advantage of your money, buy an iPhone. If you want to take full advantage of the hardware, utility, customs, etc. Android phones are hands down the beast.
Where was Apple given 3/10?

pricing is worse more than 1 point because the majority of people can't buy a flagship, so android is an obvious choice if you are not rich
my favourite thing with gaming on android is that you can do emulation. emulation lets you run so many more games that are really high quality than iphone mobile apps. i also love shooting RAW on android with other camera apps like footej camera 2, because as a photographer it is just better to shoot RAW.
The issue I've always had with android vs apple is you can't compare them. One is a single phone, another is a wide selection of phones. Apple has a new phone released every year, and that's the one people talk about. Android has so many creators, let alone phone models released, it just isn't fair to either side. Comparing companies to Apple, though, that's way more fair.
Agreed, iPhone vs Samsung would be a more fair comparison. Android is too broad and includes a lot of niche players and a lot of cheap junk.
Apple sucks the prevent software downgrades. They don't allow newer backups to be restored to older ios. They also only allowed signed in IPSWS to be installed, if not signed in you are stuck on a slow phone.
Agreed, iPhone vs Pixel would be a more fair comparison.
karma to apple for not letting other companies use their system ?
yeah also another thing is that android is a universal software. Its used on every other phone. IOS is just used for iphones so its gonna be more optimized. Its gonna have more support. this should have been google pixel against iphone. Hoping google makes a top spec flagship this year as google is the only company that can beat iphone in software
My take to this is-
In US the best phone is iOS just because everyone uses it. So that's why MKBHD's opinion was more based on that.
However outside US markets, Android has the main market. So it's not a minority in many of the categories.
interesting take!
It coz not many people can afford iphones but that's doesn't mean they are holding s22 ultras and oneplues or even Samsung A series no they are mostly getting xaiomi phones which are best in price to performance compare to every other android brands but anyone who could afford to buy at iphones prices I bet you 95% of the time they pick Iphones over xaiomi or Samsung 1000$phone that gonna become obsolete in 2 year both support and performance lag
its because androids are cheaper
Android is trash, how come a cellphone can get viruses and pop alerts đ€źđ
Millions of people in Europe are using iPhone. It's very popular but you have other markets where Huawei is extremely well received. Samsung is also huge because both phones have great low end models.
The problem is they are comparing one phone to hundreds of thousands of phones

I feel like I'm probably in the minority on this one, but this collab feels more like an interview. Both of you are very talented creators, but this video is driven very heavily by opinion. That said, all the decisions seem to defer very heavily to Marques's opinion. Marques is making very valid observations, but those same observations are very heavily based in circumstance.
It IS an interview, because Arun didn't present his opinions completely mostly. Arun would have awarded more to Android
@@namishbaranwal3522 nah arun like apple too i think. but arun would probably give android more score than just 1.5.
I feel that too while watching the video because the disappointment on Arun 's face was obvious with the biased opinions of Marques
Totally agree with you on that one
i agree
MKBHD talking like an Apple rep for the whole video... "here's a positive point for Android, BUT here's how you can view it negatively, AND Apple can do XYZ so..."
He's been an Apple boi for a long time. He get a lot of heat for that on Twitter. So obviously it's very biased.
But apple IS better tho. I have never used an iphone in my life for the sheer reason that I can't afford it but I don't bark on an I phone user every time they tell me how their phone is better than mine.Infact I agree with them. I phone CREATED the smartphone industry, android is just figuring it out till today & while android may bring variety, experiment & customization in the industry the apple ecosystem being superior in every way is undeniable. They even make movies on the mac, not on windows. Says a lot.
@@apetogetherstrong4243 I disagree. I don't think one is better than the other. Depends on your use case. If you use your phone as just a phone, with some web browsing occasionaly, a $100 android phone is the best. If you're looking for a good allrounder for around $400, you can go for a iPhone se if you want good software support, a pixel 5a for a good camera or any Xiaomi phone if you want it to be ok at everything, but not exceptional at anything. So you can't really say one is better than the other.
@@dirksplithof3174 the thing is if you have 6 goldchains in your neck & you stand in the middle of the street & scream what phone should I get, you will not get the reply of "get a 1500$ android" It will be "get a 700$ iphone". Value for money is an excuse, the question was never was "which is the best phone for you" . It was "which is the best phone overall" .
The best phone for me is the 250$ xaomi android I'm using right now that is a year old. But if someone's gonna ask me what is the best phone in the world since the first phone was ever released I'd not say android or blackberry.
Android users & I phone users have formed cults in the tech community where the i phone users feel the urge to brag about their superior tech coz they can afford it & the android users have to come up with different categories, customizations to tear I phone down. The i phone as a piece of tech doesn't have any feelings. It won't feel validated if I say it's the best or the worst in the world.
But it's the objective/undeniable truth that it is superior since it's first release by steve jobs & as a 250$ android user I don't hesitate to say so. The reason that it's treated more as a status symbol than a world class tech is the reason it has become a tough pill to swallow for android users. So what if I can't afford it, it's still the best. What's next...are we gonna say that a toyota is better than a mclaren coz it is cheap & has better mileage
@@m4heshd Yeah heâs admitted several times that his daily driver is an iPhone đ. Nothing wrong with that . But this video was really one sided
I am an Android user, but I believe that both are great phones and everyone has their taste in what they have.
(but i do feel kind of offended when someone says iphone is better)
I've been using Androids my whole life I'm currently have a s9 and am moving to a iphone 14 (yes I agree)
I'm an Android user but i support apple, but I don't argue like 6yo except when they started it
I love how I got a apple advertisement before the video đ
You can tell Arun is a big fan of MKBHD but I think that's what made this video kinda biased because you could see how Arun had different opinions on a few things but that would result in a tie, so every time that he might've disagreed it would be a tie. I agree with other comments, that you guys should have each had your score and then come up with a final rating or just leave those out for people to decide.
I 100% agree
You peep that 2 bro

Arun is super biased and can turn discussions in iphone's favour.
That's why even his positive remarks about Samsung 22Ultra were more of sarcasm.
His argument never makes sense.
Unlike MKBHD... he is neutral and explains the background and experience well before taking a call.
This is apple sponsored spin
Arun trying to be unbiased:
Marques: "Android is actually really good, but I give that to iPhone because I like them"
Exactly, even his photography debate didn't talk about the actual photo quality but instead about some rare random bug where it didn't take a photo when he clicked suddenly. This doesn't happen to most people but because of that he gave apple more points? Instead of talking about the actual photo quality he's mentioning about some ui bug. That's beyond biased and went into stupidity right there.

I've had Androids most of my adult life, so a few months ago I decided to take the IPhone 13 Pro Max for a spin, and I have two good things to say about it - the battery life was phenomenal, and I loved the solid build, but that was all I liked. I lasted a week, but returned it in favor of my S22 Ultra. I just need to be able to customize my phone and I rely on its ease of use features like single gesture closing of multiple open apps. Apple does what they do very well, and their devices are well built, but if you want greater control of your device, IPhone isn't a good choice.
You said it.
My man
This is what makes android truly better
Funny how they made customisation a draw
Facts. Apple treats you like a customer. Android treats you like an administrator.
As someone who has owned iPhones only for the past 10+ years, including the 14 Pro this year, I don't think that was a very critical comparison. I obviously think iPhones fit MY needs better, but the gap between iOS and Android phones isn't that drastic. Just different strokes... The actual objective difference is marginal and definitely not a "7.5 : 2.5" gap.
Well said. The choice between iOS and Android depends on the user preferences. What's absolutely true is that neither iOS nor Android could have become this good if there was no competition.
Absolutely.. right
The numbers donât really mean anything because they arenât weighted to each persons interests/needs; everything is just one point. If people want to know what is better, they should watch the video and see what they actually say about each category, and weight each category depending on what they care about.
Fr man I feel like there were a lot of biases in that review
strokes
Funny how they were complaining about the big notch and now every youtube tech reviewer is crazy about the dynamic island which takes more space than the earlier notch and blocks more content.
Samsung clearly have the best display, MKBHD was too biased and let him have the display and photography even though he disagreed.
Arun: Hi what's up
MKBHD: iphone
đI know right
Great colab and I really liked the video! However there is one thing I gotta say. During the eco conscious category one thing you skipped over was repairability. That is arguably the most important part of an eco phone and android is a clear winner there with apple doing things like software locking parts etc.
My big thing with the eco conscious was that they compared companies as a whole. Like Samsung, Sony, etc do a lot more than just phones that will affect them getting to carbon neutral whereas Apple's biggest thing is the iPhone. Not sure exactly how to convey this, more so just that carbon neutral company wide isn't an apples to apples comparison when comparing android to ios
This needs to be pinned, I don't know how they could "forget" that from the most anti right to repair company
Funniest part is that many independent repairers report the the iphones are actually easier and less costly to repair
@@brochard44 Well, for apple there is now a self repair program which makes it easier to repair phones, even though if you rent the tools from apple it would be so costly but ya, now software locking is no longer a problem
@@FlyINGpigOOO their repair program is basically useless. It's a complete pr stunt and for basically all the parts they sell getting it done at apple costs like 10-20$ more. And independent shops can't use them because the cost of the part is so much if they want to make a profit they have to charge more then apple would be a lot.
I don't use multi windows much on my Samsung phone. But it does come in handy when I need it. Like those email confirmation codes, or on amazon and I wanna check a CZcams review on an item I wanna buy
14:03 still canât change your icons on ios without a dumb banner every time you open an app

But SOMEHOW, they got away with it and people pressured Samsung to do the same. not to mention Samsung was against this, and tweeted so, but after public response deleted those tweets

edit:(guy's im not saying android should win this one im just pointing out that they forgot to mention repairability which should be varying factor in eco consciousness )
Actually it does and repairability is not the one that can decide Eco consciousness company plans to which apple wins in that
They literally showed footage of the Fairphone then said lol Apple is going carbon neutral give them the win.
New Android flagships like S22 are the same.
You forgot newer androids being difficult to repair too
And the lightning cable, lack of ports on the macbook for years...apple makes HUGE profits from the adapters that they sell, and all those adapters, are extra e-waste

- a lot of Apple features that they said people can't live without are limited too US - outside of that, even iPhone users have/use a lot of other options
- usb-c charging, plethora of phone options, UI features, right to repair and repair costs, GOOGLE PHOTOS - so many options and factors that you could have made this video on!

Very true...why not bring the best of both worlds and not Apples best against any android that failed a category
Are things that Apple locks you in really worth calling "features"? I think Android should win this category, simply because it is much more flexible than Android and allows you to do a lot more things. For example:
* changing many parts of the OS, like the launcher, keyboard, browser, lock screen
* installing apps from outside the Play Store
* full access to the file system
* use it to do things you would traditionally do on a computer. You can do crazy things like coding, running all kinds of VMs and emulators. You can do all sorts of crazy automation with things like Tasker, like automatically opening the garage door when a message that contains a certain thing arrives.
Android is more like "here's a set of tools that you can use to do whatever you want". iOS is more like "these are the things you're allowed to do and how you can do them".
I totally agree
Shrinking minority
Great point, I'm an app developer for both ios & Android. I always prefer Android SDK features, which gives you more control as a developer.
I guess u missed their point
Android does have way more features but
It's (a lot of features ,small minority of enthusiaists) Vs (some special features, a large number of common users)
When u compare like that the slim to none features of iPhone have more weight
More like an ferrari and a caravan
User of both worlds here: One thing regarding the Eco part, in my view, is, that a plus for the iPhone is that it seems to keep its value and operability for quite some time. Most of my Android phones become unusable after ~3 years. But a big minus that counteracts all the positive things regarding the eco part is Apple's hostile behavior in actively sabotaging every attempt to repair devices, blocking 3rd party repair-services, and making the devices unmaintainable overall - or if possible, making the official, proprietary repairs more expensive than new devices (hint to the Louis Rossman YT Channel). Plus, I often get the feeling that you pay the most by far for their devices, but they act like you do not really own them. Which is especially mind-blowing given the price.

No one talked about social status. iPhone should get at least two points for that
It's interesting to hear that other people don't use the split screen feature on the Galaxy phones. I use it so often that when I tried to buy the iPhone 13 last year I had it for like a month and ended up returning it because I missed that so much. I didn't realize until then how important that was to me lol
Ikr. I was surprised that both of them hardly use this feature.. It's a lifesaver
Well your not an average user thenđ
Same here lmao also features like in Good Lock, Bixby Routines, Bluetooth Dual Audio etc really make a difference
How exactly do you use it? It would be nice to have some examples so i can use it as well
I only use it on my ipad.
MWTB was confused as hell about the end conclusions but since it was sponsored its okayđđđđ
After every update, Samsung lags, but still nobody will admit
I feel like even if Arun disagreed with MKBHD they would still give the category in MKBHD's favour Arun himself said he preferred Androids photography over the iPhones same as batter because of fast charging in my opinion such categories should have been a draw or should have been more debated upon
One more such category I found was the one where they talked about Android's tons of features vs apple's exclusive few, like the ecosystem, airdrop etc and still gave the point to Apple.
Whereas one thing they ignored is that it only works when both the devices you have are made by Apple. If you have a windows PC, things are going to suck bad with an iPhone, whereas Androids can be simply used exactly like flash drives with a USB cable which is ARGUABLY better than airdrop, because that way you can actually manage the data better on phone as well as on PC. Not to mention you do get features like Nearby Share which works fine.
@@HarshitRautela this video was great but was too concentrated on personal preference if it was more practical it should have been a draw or android should have won

Same thoughts
I was an avid iPhone user for years, and was very happy for the most part. I gave Android a chance when Samsung released a new phone a few years back, and never realized what I was missing out on. One topic that was not really discussed here, that is very important to me now, is the how much better Android plays with 3rd party hardware. Watches, Smart TV's, Speakers, etc... There is a world of great technology out there that Apple just doesn't want you to be able to take full advantage of. And, this is always a hot topic as well... But, Android Auto with Google assistant is just unmatched in my opinion. I'm not a fanboy of either platform by any means, and am actually making this comment from an Apple computer. However, these small things are very important to me, especially my smart watch. Great comparison otherwise though. Cheers.
Android is okish but for me only really Samsung would be an option and being in Europe, I won't let them scam me with their sub-par Exyshit processors.
So as long as this is a thing, I will buy Apple (where Europeans are not treated like 2nd class customers). Maybe if there is a day where we get the real processors for the same price (without import and stuff), I may consider giving Samsung another shot.
Marques mouth is filled with apples balls.

I think the reason that Android lost a fair few categories is that it is not about one single manufacturer. Some features are defining ones for some manufacturers like Motorola's Chop Chop for flashlight and Samsung's Dex and even Xiaomi's ridiculous community support. This is the beauty and weakness of Android. That fact that Android is little imperfect, it encourages you to make your own contribution towards it without caring about getting sued or anything. Android has a more playful aesthetic and is built for nerds like me but iOS has a few constraints. I love the fact that rooting is so easy on Android and you can use apps like GCam Port.
Having many manufacturers should be an advantage in this case. They should be able to take the best of android and beat iPhone but even with all these manufacturers they donât outright beat apple.
my boyfriends Motorola has this thing where he shakes it to turn on the flashlight. When I saw that I almost bought a new phone. That's the beauty of android, you can get the best phone that works for you as an individual.
@@obviousgreyman sadly having many manufacturers is also Android's biggest weakness. Every company has their direction, some just wants to push out value for money phones, with terrible software support or many corners cut, which makes people think Android is unpolished, some companies want to polish their hardware and software but charge a lot more, people think that they are overpriced and terrible value for money. That's why they don't outright beat Apple.
But I think the best thing about Android imo, is that you pick a phone that you like, but is imperfect, then add small touches here and there to make it yours
@@_zaverus The counter argument is that Apple doesn't innovate anymore, they just cherry pick the most popular features that other manufacturers were willing to take a risk on. Yes it's good to perfect existing technology but it's kind of garbage that they sit back and sell stale tech at a premium because they maintain a close source environment.
If they were comparing just to Samsung, Samsung would dominate
Felt pretty biased towards Marquez's niche preferences. I've realised over the years of watching tech channels that Marquez has certain preferences and specific things he thinks are non-negotiable (his photo preference for iPhone processing when it's very subjective, the need to use the camera right in the IG app when you can easily take one natively and post it in the app after, the software hiccups in android that honestly are nowhere near as big a deal as he makes them, etc etc) that really aren't as important to I'd say majority of the tech community. Love his content but I don't fully agree with how objective these subjective ideas are made to seem.
I think you're forgetting he used to prefer the pixel up to the pixel 4.
He is becoming more and more biased towards Apple every tech video he makes. Have u watched his waveform podcast. That show should be called the apple podcast at this point. 80% of it is dedicated to apple products. Then 10% is dedicated to EV vehicles and tesla. And only the remaining 10% is spent talking about all other non apple products. I get it. Maybe apple sponsor him. But its Super biased and getting boring
imagine being conditioned to take camera in native app and then post to ig instead of expecting them to just work properly. my standard is high and i want the software to works for ME, not i work around with the software. and still, you're admitting that it is inferior experience compare to iphone

@@abubakrakram6208 there's many android apps that enable FTP (file transfer protocol). basically, you can turn your android into a server. I bet apple can't do that

I would actually give the Eco Conscious category a draw because Apple use proprietary chargers, and since they don't come in the box, there's more cost to the consumer and more packaging.
But so do android flagships and even mid-range flagships now no?
you should be doing these type of videos with persons that are not fans of a brand like this guy is obviously his the hugest fan apple
Some other categories I would've liked to hear about are Durability (how long it lasts, and physical durability of the phone), Repairs (cost of repair/ ease of repair), assesories/3rd party items for phone( earbuds, cases, ease of use of 3rd party items like off brand speakers/earbuds), connections/signal ( what gets better signal, better wifi connects, bluetooth connections, call connections. Even though your provider may differ hardware in connections can drastically change your options as well) ect...
They didn't put these in their because their biased for Apple.
HAHAHAH facts

Yeah there is a lot they did not mention.
@@Ziadgamer3218 iPhone would win in durability no question though. That's not a bias.
Emulators are a huge thing for me, as well as the S pen. I love being able to play Wii, DS, N64, whatever all just on my phone. I also like custom APKs if i ever wanna grab something that isnt on the app store. Apple is more secure, but Android is way more open.
I don't think Apple is more secure either to be honest. Just the perception they want you to have. So many lockscreen bypasses and stuff over the years as well as other huge security concerns on iOS
I used to be an Android user, and I think the S-pen is pretty useless, and more of a gimmick (Iâm not an artist, so I never used it. But Iâm not speaking for everyone) I also never trust APKs, since I got a virus from the last one I downloaded. So Iâm personally fine with the fact that Apple is more closed and strict. But I will admit that I miss being able to play emulators and being able to download launchers to completely change the look of my phone. So overall, itâs more of personal preference on which phone is better.
I agree itâs a big factor, but you can get emulators on an iOS device (iPad or iPhone) without jailbreaking. The way you do this is via a computer program called altstore to sideload the emulators onto your phone. The dolphin iOS port also supports online (via wiimmfi) and I use it a lot. Still though for android users you donât need a computer which makes it a better experience.
@@gdspace5592 That's purely anecdotal. On the other hand I've never gotten a virus and even if I did antivirus can fix that issue. Why not have the option? Apple doesn't give you a choice whilst android does. You don't have to do it if you don't want to on Android but you have the option. Apple dictates to you how they want you to use "your" phone.

Without having to watch this video since this subject has been covered so many times. The simple answer is whichever works best for you and your personal needs.

No shitty walled garden thing, no weird charging port, a good file manager and the option to install any apk. Sounds like a clear win for android...

Come ooon guys, you really went a bit rough on Android there.. I've been using Android for almost the last 9 years until I eventually decided in last yearâs September to get the iconic iPhone 13, and am not regretting my decision to be honest ( well, maybe not much) but I still really miss lots of things that Android has such as missing what freedom really feels like. Dude, the ability of using any 3rd party device like watches, TV's etc.. so perfectly & full-features as well as the ability of charging anything using only one cable (usb-c) and the fact that apple lacks these stuff cannot be just ignored, like seriously you cannot act like naaaah itâs not a big deal. Also the split screen feature man.. I really miss this it was a huge thing for my daily use, the ability of multitasking was a game changer for me and mark my words, when apple does it people will go crazy about it!
And yeah one last thing, the fact that I cannot go past 5 days in the call log to search for calls in MY phone that uses MY account which holds My info still makes me sick till this day.. I know that apple did it on purpose due to privacy stuff and props to them for giving privacy an important role in their approach, but every time I go to my call log looking for a number then I remember that I canât do this on ios I go wondering what in the flarking hell they smoke in apple đ .
Still a great phone though, I am really pleased with my Iphone 13, itâs a great phone after all, but as I said you went a bit rough on Android guys though I really enjoyed this collab a lot! Keep up the good đ
Well said
watches and TVs.. ok maybe its not the case to buy Apple TV even though im pretty sure the iPhone connects to any smart TV, but watches?? if you have an iPhone you dont even have to think about any other smartwatches than Apple Watch. The moment you have 2 pieces in Apple's ecosystem you will see what is Apple really about: the perfect compatibility.
I watched my cousin who came to visit me on vacation when henocktrosh on lg recovered his lPhone, I was so surprised when he did
Very well said. The rating is so ridiculous
Call history gets deleted after 5 days? Are you serious? I was thinking about switching to an iphone but this is a deal breaker for me.
The problem with comparing Android to iPhone is that you are comparing one company to hundreds of companies and from that fact alone, through all of Android's collective time and knowledge, Android always wins. Because of variety, it's not a fair fight. Now say if you were to compare iPhone to Samsung that would be a whole different story.
exactly, they shouldve just compared to samsung
Lol, I think you should watch again, itâs clearly shown where they make google pixel, vivo and more android as an example, stop being bias and accept the fact. And remember, both phones has it own unique features, pick any at your own choice!
Same ending different character in the story
@@olusanyataiwo6681 They literally said vivo, samsung etc have better camera, yet they still give the point to iphone.

Customization? Android should've been the clear winner.
Eco-friendly? Android is the clear winner because of it's repairability.
Performance? For gamers, gaming phones are better. And if not for gaming both Android and iphone are equal because the system nowadays are so advanced.
Many points Arun was even confused about Marques choises, yet he still gave the points to iphone.
@@malsawmzela609 I love both camps, but they did a fair comparison. it's not only having things on paper, but it's how you experience them. please try experiencing an iPhone just for once, and you will see that as they said, it's definitely not as black and white as you think. you're just giving buzz words to every category, while they are talking more about the experience and value they get from every phone. they both daily drive both a Samsung and an iPhone, and still found the iPhone to be overall better. you either see the holistic point of view, or you will just keep throwing words around in a void of fanboyism.
I love that mkbhd is very objective about iOS even though he uses and loves an Android phone.
Why can't I see any Android screen when I'm out in the sun unless it's a high end android
While I agree with much of the assessment given here, I really do feel they avoided iPhone weaknesses when they were discussing hardware such as still using the lightening port, zero options for a headphone jack and general lack of innovation compared to android options (folding phones are already common with Android). I'm just surprised that they wouldn't even bring these topics up. I don't think either is a fanboy, just seemed to avoid areas that would work against apple.
I knew from the start android would have loss they donât ever show the full capability of android
i mean most flagships androids dont have headphone jacks either, and how do flip phones apply
@@syncroh2310 thank you because I donât know how is that innovation. Itâs going back to the past and making what was in the past better. I donât and will not buy a folded or flip phone.

This one felt weirdly biased for you guys. There were certain times when iPhone won despite being the same or worse. For example, MKBHD said that the ROG phone had a better battery at 4:00 and he noted that a lot of android phones have incredible charging compared to the iPhone's "decent" charging. Despite this, it wins the point. For another example, Mrwhosetheboss says that for him, Android wins for the camera section, yet iPhone got the point instead of it being a tie. One more weird example is how in the eco-consciousness section, it's noted that the fair phone blows the iPhone out of the water yet iPhone still gets the point. Mrwhostheboss says that this is because he wants to compare flagship to flagship and that can be a fair point. But if you use that logic, the display section shouldn't be a draw because both parties agreed that iPhone screens are behind Samsung.
Edit : reading the below comment taught me that some of you don't know where the bias is or what the problem i'm pointing out is.
The problem is not that Android lost or that it was a close fight. iPhones are absolutely amazing and they deserve credit for that.
Some of you have argued that it won so much because it was compared to all android phones and not just the best ones. If that was the case, that would be fair but The problem is that they don't stick to that perspective. There are MULTIPLE times where they shift to putting the iPhone against only a few Androids (like the eco consciousness section) in order to give it the win (and multiple times where it wins because its agreed to be generally better than most Androids despite being worse than the best in class androids).
Shifting the comparison around to make one side more favorable is clear bias regardless of what side it's done for.
because there are too many android phones
if we use your logic. then android wins in so many records. lol. basically, iPhone would be the most stable and yet... not the best when compared to the plethora of pillar or flagship strengths of each android phone.
I own both (android and apple), when it comes to freedom android is the winner. One don't have to be limited to apple's "we know what's best for you". Still,.. this video felt very biased to me as well. Apple is the winner even though Android has been doing it for years, really, come on now not by a landslide.
đŻ I felt the same way.. Team Android or as MKBHD says (In The World Of Android) lol sounds dope..
the first example was about battery life not charging and the iphone has better battery life?
