I saw everyones comments about audio problems from the last video. I reworked the entire capturing method so please let me know if this setup works better!
The quality of video and audio is fantastic! As soon as the video started I was like “wow” 😲and I’m not a video/audio guy! Cheers, great content, surprised to hear good things about Android
It's a massive disappointment
Huh
This was a great absolutely great channel about apple ecosystem. Not it’s starting to look like any other ordinary channel. Good bye.
Just saying, alltrails came to WearOS (what android watches run on) in October :)
As an Apple guy (now), I love hearing about positive experiences with the Windows/Android ecosystem. I keep one foot in Windows land (mostly because of gaming); I'm enjoying my (overpriced) 2023 Dell XPS 9530. It works ok with my iPhone, thanks to Phone Link, but nothing at the moment compares to my 16" M1 Pro, which is why I went back to iPhone (14PM). I loved my Galaxy Watch but prefer my Apple Watch 8, even if the battery on the Galaxy Watch absolutely crushes Apple's. All in all, consumers should want competitors to succeed since we win in the end.
What's the point of competition if at the end of the day people still end up buying apple devices even when competitors have equivalent or at times better products, depending on the person that it. The truth is a lot of our purchase decisions and opinions are still based on fashion
@@lvseka ... and habit. Competition is at the level of the manufacturer, which do take into consideration what competitors make. They don't want to eventually lose their customers, especially the sheep. Consumers habituated to choose one product over the other still win, albeit it indirectly. They get better products, even if maybe not the best.
Well that's because he's an apple fanboy and he has to return the phone before being fully charged, he's never going to leave Apple
@@lvseka I won’t buy a product from a different company just because they nailed it this time. I have a whole Apple ecosystem at home. Makes no sense to throw a „foreign“ device in there that can’t communicate with all the other stuff.
They have to come up with good arguments to convince me. „You will save a couple of hundred money!“ is not a good argument btw. I don’t care about it that much. I like the ecosystem that I‘m used to, it works for me. I will not change anything because Samsony or whoever offers 5 more megapixels on a phone camera.
@@Dornavver Makes sense if you are just out there looking for an eco system. It depends on your needs.
I've seen people who will insist on owning a MacBook even though the software they need to use to earn a living aren't on Mac. Not many are even aware of the ecosystem. We might be but for many out there, it's just the cool devices to have.
Quick point on the iMessage thing. Apple users do the same thing in Android groups. If you have a group entirely dedicated to Android users, messages will automatically switch to RCS which is basically our version of iMessage.
Having one Apple user will break this though, so many Android users don't even know about this.
Left Apple a few years ago and have been using a Fold4 as my daily as well as a Galaxy watch 4 with the Tab S8 Plus. Love love love it!
Such a dope combo 💯
I can't agree more with all what did you mention. And because I am from Europe, so no stupid green / blue bubbles are around, I can do whatever I want. That's why I have an Apple laptop, Samsung phone and tablet and the buds from Nothing. And the freedom to change anything anytime.
So opting out of ecosystem advantages. It's frustrating there is no universal ecosystem. But it's not my fault. If you're not ecosystemed you're second class in productivity. You have to pick and go all the way. Once again not my fault but it is what it is.
As the Windows mobile OS was dying, I switched to Android and entered the wild west rooting scene for about eight years. As OEM skins improved (after incorporating many of the features developed by the custom ROM community), I found the need to root phones diminish. At age 71, I decided to switch to iOS and ditched my OnePlus McLaren phone and Samsung Tab S4 for the 2020 SE and iPad Air Gen 3 in April 2020; I lasted four months before switching back to Android (Note 20 and Tab S). I found the iPhone UI to be too restrictive - even after jailbreaking (who thought mandatory upper left justification of apps and widgets was a good idea?) Because of how I use tablets, I didn't mind the software as much on the iPad, but thought the display and especially the sound were subpar.
At anyrate, while I might occasionally engage in gentle joshing about the ovine nature of the walled garden inhabitants, I really do appreciate the integration of chip, software, and hardware in the Apple ecosystem (Google is trying to replicate this, but has a long way to go) and understand why most Apple users (including my wife - I'm in a mixed marriage) are happy with iOS. However, if one is looking for liberty, variety, and innovation (how long until Apple invents the flip/fold phone?), then Android is the choice I would recommend.
I think your issue was the devices you bought. Personally I wouldn’t recommend the iPhone SE to anybody, i’d instead recommend a past flagship.
@@ghost_gamer8921 yup the battery on SEs are terrible. better off just spend xtra $200 and getting base model iphone (less perhaps for a refurb one).
@@ghost_gamer8921 Naw I've been using the 15 pro max and I also agree the software is too restrictive. I really miss android and plan to return it.
wtf are you trying to do? 😭
My grandpa is the same age as you are, I tried to explain to him what internet was 2 weeks ago, he answered " can you send fax to people??"
I doubt Apple would ever willingly open their Messages apps to other platforms, it would cause iPhone sells to drop.
Sure would!!!
They technically don't have to. They just need to implement RCS like the rest of the world and stop using old SMS/MMS protocol. This will at least allow people to share higher quality videos and pictures between platforms and keep it secure. Android would still be a green bubble but at least it won't suck. Lol
There is an app called beeper and does the same thing as imessage. Chrome unboxed talks about the beeper app on his youtube channel and it even shows the blue bubble on a chromebook whenever messaging someone with an apple device.
Just wait until EU forces them to
@@sailormakaw it’s going to be tough because in the EU Apple iMessage is not as widely used so they fall under the number of subscribers to be held accountable as having a monopoly on messaging. Here in the states Apple is king. 😆
I'm with you on the running thing - I got an AWU and cellular plan so no longer need my phone on me for runs. I was a Windows PC / Android user for years, and switched to iPhone in 2018. The "system" isn't perfect, but it's great and I would say my excellent MBP Max, AWU, and entire family on iPhones keeps me in this ecosystem. Glad to hear Samsung/Android has upped their game because competition is good for everyone.
Couldn't have phrased this better myself. I'm a dual wielder. I'm actually drifting into the Apple ecosystem due to the hardware integration. But both Samsung (and, to a lesser extent, Google) have come miles in their own hardware integration. It's not quite as tight if you've got - as an example - a Pixel phone, and Galaxy watch, but it's getting there with their partnerships. The one area I think Android excels at over Apple is the notification paradigm. I don't know that I'll EVER get used to having to manually swipe down to see what notifications have popped up during my work day. And the logic Apple uses for grouping is slightly annoying. But, the small things, like copying a link on my iPhone and pasting it on my Mac, with no thought, is clutch.
Alright my fellow dual weirder, I believe the Android notification shade is blatantly superior. However, have you noticed that your always get the notifications first on your Apple devices? Sometimes I don’t even get them on my Android phone.
Yeah. That comes down to the flavor of android, and how aggressively they cache apps. The Chinese oems were BAD about this for a while . They've gotten a bit better about it, but the variance is still a drawback
The shared clipboard can also be activated if you have a Samsung S Series Phone and a Windows PC through the phone link app.
I left Apple years ago and never looked back.
So you mean switching from Apple gives you a stiff neck? Not being able to look back is just irritating.
@@mr.j5112the way Americans talk is amazing 😂😂😂😂😂
Good for you. Nobody cares
@@mr.j5112HAHAHAHAHAHA You made my night with this joke rofl thanks 😂
Why u be watching this video ?
Great video as always. I love tech in general. I have been using Samsung phones since the galaxy s2 with its back the OLED display and it really just sucked me in. I have also been using the iphone since the 6. I have also used several other Android devices (HTC evo, palm pre, google pixel and lg V series). I think that Samsung is the Apple of Android personally. I dont have to switch as I have a S23U and Iphone 14PM. The only other apple device I have is the SS graphite 47mm apple watch to use when i use my iphone. I think that both ecosystems are great with their respective companies however the Samsung eco system works seamlessly with my gaming desktop and work station. I use mainly google drive and photos so I can access photos and files anywhere from any device. I will say the stock samsung gallery app is leagues better than the ios photo app. I will be getting (i know terrible reason and i dont suggest) the iphone 15pm solely for the titanuim body, upgraded cameras,thinner bezels and first and foremost USB C. I can finally rid my home of all the lightnening cables and have a universal cable now. All new products that I purchase have USB C. I recently sold my 12.9 inch ipad pro because the Tab S9 Ultra is suchh a beast and much easier to work with, multitask and my microsoft and office apps work much better on it. Luckily for me my friends and family is like a 55-45 split between the phones so group messaing on stock apps hasnt really been an issue at all.
As for your statement about family sharing and stuff, both my kids have different phones and any time they request sharing or money or whatever the case may be, I am able to access it from any of my devices. It may just be app dependant on whatever you are using. But hats off to both companies. They can co exist lol they are just phones and tablets after all, just pick what suits you best. I will say that through all the years samsung has had much better offerings and sales than apple but on the other hand apple resale value is higher.
Be interesting to set a budget and see what you get in each ecosystem and what that performance is
Great Video and loved your honesty in connection with using both systems, I too see pro's and con's with both systems but I am now totally into the Samsung- Android system. I check my APPLE account every now and then but my products are all Samsung.
The S8 Ultra is fantastic, like you I hardly use my monitor now and use the S8 Ultra as my " To Go" tablet/ laptop, was given the Samsung 4 watch and love it, will upgrade in the future.
Not struggling with the Buds Pro either, everything you have told the viewers I can only reiterate, love that keyboard you have in the background, what make is it? Thanks again for a quality video.
Well that's because he's an apple fanboy and he has to return the phone before being fully charged, he's never going to leave Apple
I use both and mostly due to the family ecosystem with the kids. But I love my zfold. It's the best form factor. Plus I still think apple watch ultra is an anchor for me to stay with Apple as the daily driver. Awesome video and love the highlights of how you weaved in the different products in a day to day.
I used the Fold 3,4 and 5, but after I used the One Plus Open, I gave my fold 5 away Better battery, Macro lens, zoom and a much better front screen...
Ive been running android (particularly samsung) since 2014 and I never really dug deep into the ecosystem. The most I did was use DeX and texting from my windows PC. But really looking at it, the s9 tablet and the watch look really really useful!
I just made switch after being iPhone user since my first one in 2007. Galaxy Flip 5 and Watch 6 Classic. Regarding Messages I'm on waiting list for Beeper which promises ability to send Messages through Android. All reviews I've seen says it works. Only unknown is if Apple puts a cease and desist on the app. But I'm loving the change.
finally!! someone recognises how GOOD the samsung)/Android ecosystem for more than just 2 days😌 awesome video Gary
You were much more objective to android and Samsung than i expected. From a die hard Android fanboy well done!
As someone who doesn't use Apple's products but use Windows and Android
I find this challenge really hilarious
Both windows and android are hot garbage
Well that's because he's an apple fanboy and he has to return the phone before being fully charged, he's never going to leave Apple
@@chris7077 No, they're not.
@@chris7077Fanboy detected
Well, I was an Android user all my life until I switched for the iPhone 13pro + Apple watch.
I still have a Windows pc but I have my eyes on the Mac mini.
I had an iPad pro that I changed for a Samsung Tab S9. I am relatively pleased with it, but I'm still getting the hang of it.
I am pretty happy with my products, I do miss one or two features I had on my previous phone but stability and reliability is more important for me.
How's file transfers using an iphone on a windows pc?
Really good points! Also first time I've seen someone do that with their Flip while running 😆
I am android user for 8 year's and one day I switch to iPhone 12 mini, while that is very very good phone and I like the form factor because how small in your hand I still can't comprehend how much I miss theme on android. While yes you can manually change your icon pack or pay monthly subscription for icon pack (which is hilarious) I still want to have every icon change on my phone. So I back to android and choose z flip 3
I was a die hard Android fan for many years. After I started using a MacBook, and then tried the rest, I can’t go back despite a good number of shortcomings in iOS in particular. It’s like you said about communicating from a Mac. Having everything there, I simply rarely have to pull my phone out during the day. And while the AirPods are indeed glitchy at times, they more than make up for it with the Pro and Mac’ insanely good transparency modes and noise cancellation, and the surround sound when listening to Apple TV based shows using the AirPods. I wish Apple created a Z Fold equivalent. I love the Z Fold, and it’s a single device I would happily replace both my phone and tablet with. But using a MacBook, and the family issues you referenced, make this at this stage; not enough for me to consider switching back.
Exact same thing on my end! From Android elitist to Mac lover to iPhone
Ah.. so since I’ll never ever use a MacBook, I should finally switch from iPhone to Samsung
I did the same thing for roughly a year, but I came back to Apple due to how seamless things were since a majority of my family use Apple phones as well. Android was nice (only used Samsung at least) but I still use my Tab S7 :)
With such powerful MacBooks and wow being optimised on macs can I ask why you don’t play wow using your MacBook Pros or mac studios? Love the content!
"they can be either the easiest thing to use, or the most frustrating"
yep that honestly summarizes Apple products as a whole: easy when things work, very difficult when they don't work or you're trying to do something Apple doesn't want you to do...that's why I don't think I'm gonna be getting Apple products unless they give me a really good reason to
I like the i-phone and I used it couple of times before, but I am sticking with the Android world for 2 reasons, 1. the use of Bluetooth as a media transfer protocol with Android phones around me, and 2, the most important, the use of my external 2TB Sandisk Extreme SSD that transfers my phone into a laptop in seconds.
Both of these are solved with the new iPhone 15 pro series and iOS 17 coming out this September! 😂🎉
@@Theryvibesthat great for you so stick with apple . Me an millions others just love the open os of Samsung. FYI my kid has a iPhone an we communicate all the time no issues
Yo Never heard of airdrop?
@@Htiy so he should buy a iPhone because of airdrop ....not when his android phone does what he needs already
Sorry but you are living in the past.Have you heard about air drop?You can google it,its free😊
Curious if you considered trying Beeper for iMessage on an Android phone? I am an iPhone user but always considering other options. I hated the notch and even more hate the dynamic (turd) island. Would you consider this and maybe make a video about using Beeper?
Hey Gary! I've missed your Apple reviews and accessory reviews.
don't worry: next Wednesday: I BOUGHT THE MAXED OUT IPHONE 15 ULTRA and here is WHY !!! a week later: THE BEST ACCESORRIES for YOUR NEW IPHONE 15 ULTRA , a week later : AIRPODS PRO 3, is it different ? and so on...
I'm currently trying to make this very decision. Thanks for sharing your experience s and perspective.
If you are thinking about it, just do it, I switched last year due to work and my S22 Ultra has 2 sims, I don't have to carry 2 phones. The Switch over was very easy and I am now in the Android/ Samsung ecosystem, I was dubious at first but I don't regret it.
Make the decision, stick to it and enjoy geting used to the switch, best advice I can give.
Great info as always! I'm sticking my toe in the water. I purchased a cheap Android phone to test out switching back from my iPhone.
Great video!! Ive been back and forth with apple products and samsung products for some time now and ive used iphones for yearsssss. I bought the z flip 5 and im in love with my phone. It makes having a new phone fun again opposed to apples iphone every year being the same. Also recently got a tab s9 and its so fast and great at multitasking that im actually going to get rid of my ipad pro 11 inch with magic keyboard. I love the magic keyboard for ipads however the tab s9 is amazing for note taking the spen is soooo good!! Better than the ipencil in my opinion. Im going back to school in a few weeks and cant wait to use my samsung tablet in school. I agree with you on the macbooks they are better but im been using a surface pro and thats a great laptop also but dont see myself getting rid of my macbook anytime. I really hope apple opens up rcs messaging cause i dont like breaking up group chats as well!! Spot on video thanks!!
I use to have Samsung back in 2017 the S8 and I loved it, it was ahead of its time, but then I bought a iPhone 11 and been with Apple ever since, I’m seriously considering breaking this taboo of Apple in America and explore other eco systems such as the Nothing company, google and even Samsung
I've always loved the functionality, flexibility, and freedom you get with the androids. I currently rock a z fold 3 and it's my work horse for my job and personal life being a multi tasking monster. However for social events and basic use Iphone seems to be better.
I used to always go back and forth but I have a 13 pro for 2 years and in that time I feel like Apple caught up to android feature wise, but still has all the amazing Apple exclusive and ecosystem features. I tried android again with an s23 ultra and it was a great phone but I feel like it’s a too much of a loss and bought a iPhone 15 pro 😅
Oh yeah, it took Apple 10 years to adopt the USB C and the side button that lets you pick one function. Oh yes Apple is caught up.
nice educational video in which it showcases the best and worst of these two tech giants. I want to suggest that you try out the new nothing devices and have a little comparison between both the apple phone, watch and earbuds with the nothing devices that are currently being released to the public.
I have both an android (fold 5 switched from pixel 7 pro) and iPhone (14 pro). I just love my fold. I don't have any iMessage lock ins or anything. I am not reliant on any apple app.
I genuinely feel the fold is a better and definitely more interesting device.
I began switching from Samsung two years ago, when I decided to buy the iPad Air 4…based on Gary’s review of said iPad. In the Fall of 2021…I decided to buy an M1 MacBook Air and AirPods Pro 1st Gen based on Gary’s and Unlkr’s review of the M1 Air. In March of 2022, I got my first iPhone…256 g 13, starlight. I just bought a 9th Gen, base model IPad 64gb model. I will also likely pick up a second M1 MacBook Air….or M2 Mac Mini. I have a side gig as an event/mobile DJ.
I love apple and have never once wanted to go back to Android/windows. I was a Samsung guy for years…I had the Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, S8+, Note 9, Note 10+ and S20 FE. The last good Samsung was the Note 9. It would take a lot for me to go back to Samsung/Windows.
I use a galaxy phone with a macbook air, and it works great! Im only using google apps, so stuff syncs between any device you have flawlessly. If you go full google software you have freedom to choose almost whatever hardware you want, be it from Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft etc. An ecosystem might sound cool but as a buyer you should really consider what you buy into and how it will affect in the long term. Like, what if your in the apple ecosystem and suddernly apple devices start to fall behind the competision, which i already does in some cases, what would you do then? All i say is that its risky to be brand loyal and lock yoursefl into some brand.
As a non US based user. I find that imessage fiasco ridiculous.
What mic is that on the mic arm at your PC? So cool
I LOVE the edge panel.
As someone with sensory processing disorder having an Android phone with more customizable settings works best for me, I tried having an iPhone once it was kind of a nightmare because of how few settings I could change to work for me
Do you mind sharing a little more about that? What setting are you using that help you out. I always thought apple was better for accessibility.
Yeah, I found that interesting, too. Apple is known for accessibility and for accessibility apps. I actually almost throw up even watching videos on how many decisions someone has to make for the Samsung. I love the fact that the IPhones have the ability to make everything simpler for people with brain processing issues. I found your comment fascinating.
Apple is better for ease of use. Most of my sensory issues are visual and textures... so being able to change the whole color scheme to something that doesn't cause a pain response is great. Having an app drawer helps with busy-ness on my screen. Granted apple has probably made great improvements since I tried them like a decade ago... hepatic feedback makes my skin crowl... I damn near cried I was so happy when the adaptive screen brightness came out
@@guineverevickers8813 I moved almost all of my apps off of the front page and keep my screen brightness low, so maybe we have some issues in common. Who knows. The haptic touch is adjustable in the accessibility section.
@@guineverevickers8813 I turned the haptics off for battery life improvement anyway.
Always a great video from your gallery. What degree did you get from the Ohio state?
I'll be switching back to Apple this year for the first time since the iPhone 4. Partially because of iMessage but I also want to see how the other side is.
You compared the galaxy buds 2 to the airpod pro 2. Have yoy tried the galaxy buds pro 2? Great product and seals in your ear. Other than that, thank you for being an honest apple user. Samsung is amazing.
Fantastic video. I for one used to be a die hard Android user but switched to Apple due to hard ware longevity and support. I also work in the wireless industry and I’m constantly helping people with their phones. I have to say that sadly majority of people who have damaged phones due to hard issues, or people who get so much add ware making their phones unusable seems to happen more often on android devices. Apple’s walled garden while having some annoyances really shines by protecting its users from most of the junk and adware that’s all over the play store. Apple in my opinion is far more secure than android. But by far the biggest reason I will probably never switch to android is the device support and hard ware longevity. Apples devices seem to last longer and are supported for far longer than most android manufacturers.
Bro try the 7yrs on the pixel 8 pro..
I actually use both together, but I am interested in growing my Samsung ecosystem like my Apple.
Same I am using both, and both are amazing in their own way, and both give me headaches the same way as well 😅.
Why do you need both ?
I did both and it is not worth it. Apple still seems to win the ecosystem game seamlessly. Unless you have Samsung appliances like fridge, washer, etc. then it will be worth it.
@@MrMrREmm what was your part of the Samsung ecosystem, and what all entailed in your Apple ecosystem ?
@@lakkadbagga I have the fold 5, watch 5, tab s8 ultra, and galaxy book 3 pro. I also have the complete line up on apple’s side + speakers and ATV. I delegated my apple devices for work and samsung for personal use.
I've experienced the group messaging problem you described because two of my friends have Samsung phones (which, by all accounts, are excellent devices). I have to text them separately from my iPhone (can't use my Mac desktop) or none of the messages get delivered.
I tried to switch a while back. The deal-breaker for me was that I'd miss getting very important group texts when I was the only one in the group on android. Yep, the old iMessage thing again. Had to switch back. I really felt the urge at the time to break out of the "walled garden" and sort of "stick it to the man," but alas, for me it wasn't possible.
I use Facebook Messenger with my iPhone peeps. The thing is they have to be willing to use it.
Great video
I so want to try MacBooks but alas, need my laptop to be able to play games
I use both, S22 Ultra as a work phone, and iPhone SE2 as personal. I have a 16" M1 Macbook Pro and an apple watch - and my wife uses Apple - we enjoy findmy and airdrop, etc. But don't make me give up the Samsung. I prefer Android Auto in my truck, and I have a big Samsung TV in my livingroom on which I can cast my S22 phone screen, or wirelessly use DEX. I would not want to choose only one system over the other!!
I’m excited about my upcoming challenge as well lol.
Back in the day I used Samsung. Owned an Original Samsung, the S3, Note 5 and Edge 7.
I ended up shattering my back glass and camera and I went to my carrier (at the time) and they offered me an iPhone 7 for $50 if I gave up my S7 Edge . I was in need of a new phone and I never tried it so I decided to bite the bullet.
At the time I wasn’t really too familiar with Apple iPhone so I never owned an iPhone prior.
At first it was a little rough but after a while, when the bumps were ironed out. The nice, smooth and ease-of-use experience of the iPhone 7 drew me in! I ended up buying AirPods later on and eventually upgraded to an iPhone XR and most recently my current iPhone 14 Pro.
No ironically im back in the same boat!!!
I was unfortunate to drop my iPhone 14 Pro and shatter the back glass so when I took it to my Carrier for a repair they now offer me a Z Flip 5!!
It’s funny how everything went back around.
I have bit the bullet and am now in the process of having a Z Flip shipped to me and now I have a couple days until I make the switch over again!
So I guess Apple's strategy works? Build the walls around the products so people can't leave when they see something better. I am guilty of these as well but I can't help feeling sad for giving away choice 😣
Good video. I've spent time in both ecosystems. Apple vs Android is like Pepsi vs Coke. Both get the job done, but there are zealots in each camp that wouldn't touch the other for any reason.
Amazing video, exactly my opinions haha
Technology is awesome as a whole! Fanatics ruin them, but all are good! For me, I use an MBP as my work laptop, my main phone's my Galaxy S22+, but I have an iPhone 11 for my work phone. My Watch and Buds are Samsung, though, same for my beloved Tab S7+. For Windows? My Zephyrus G14 handles my gaming needs.
Which is a segway: is the difference between my Tab S7+ and the Tab S9+ big enough for me to switch?
The android messaging app does not need a 3rd party app to text online. You just scan a qr code in your browser on your pc with the messages app and it syncs immediately
I tried switching grub Android to iOS about a year ago, but I ended up going back to Android. The two things that I really missed from Android was the level of customizability on WearOS, and the media player at the bottom of Google Maps when your navigating.
I just switched from iPhone 14PM to the S23+, liking it so far. I also changed from watches from Apple to Samsung. If I do end up going back to the iPhone it will have to be the 13 Series as I am not using a phone that requires ESIM. I do miss Apple messages and the galaxy watch does not compare to the Apple watch.
Why do you care so much about E-SIM? I don't understand this. I used to work in an AT&T store and every day we had people come into the store who had various problems that were fixed by getting a new SIM card. Physical SIM cards go bad all the time and the E-SIM eliminates this issue. Also I was able to switch my entire family over to a new carrier thanks to E-SIM without us all having to get together in person to get a new physical SIM card.
Love that you play wow instant like
Still you have note used where you can add same phone number on your watch so you can recieve messages & calls without your phone & you can obviously reply your notifications and access multiple apps in the watch itself
What AirPods are you talking about? I’ve never had this problem. They connect, that’s it, and you don’t fiddle around with Bluetooth menus. What you said is news to me.
Funny thing is Apple added an AirPods section to settings with all the features of the wearables app on Samsung. So now it’s comparable to that.
I agree with EVERYTHING you said except the Imessage thing. Apart from that, I'm thinking the same way you are, Samsung way better than iphone, but the Macbooks are on another level. Good Review!
I have Apple TV, MacBook Air 15“, IPad Pro 12.9 and a 13 mini, so I am pretty stuck in the apple ecosystem. I tried a pixel 7a cause the fresh ideas of android hard and software is intriguing, but I quickly came back to my iPhone mainly due to Facetime with my family and the loss of all my password saved in iCloud. What did you do with your password sduring the experiment, is there any good way to transfer them to android?
Was also all into Apple and switched back to Android and Windows few months ago. Wasn't that much as a struggle. Exported my iCloud passwords and started using keepass. Really great, private and works with all devices.
Tried it first with Apple devices but now it works great
I'm gonna subscribe this was more honest and it wasn't a BASH session
We're you using the budspro 2 or regular buds 2?
I flipped-flopped between both and I loved the Samsung experience, however, like you imessage always brought me back. DAMN YOU APPLE.
Phone design, Dex, Secure Folder, and dual applications are the reasons why i like samsung better. And i agree their laptop game is not good, the other mobile devices are good.
I was only apple for the past 4 years and recently went back to Android. I am so happy I made the switch. I became bored of the iPhone and love the ability to customize for productivity on Android better.
I've never had an apple product, but very close to making the switch to the iphone 15 pro from the pixel 6 pro. I was so excited for the new pixel lineup when it launched 2 years ago with Google's CPU, but it has been the buggiest android phone I've ever had. I don't care about customization as much these days, I just want the phone to work when I need it to. Plus, top of the line android phones are always huge 6.7" slabs. They need more premium 6" choices.
like yourself i totally changed my whole apple ecosystem to samsung, and that was half a year ago! So far I am enjoying the experiance! It all works great together, just like the apple ecosystem, maybe even better at times!
I just bought my wife a 14 Pro so I thought I'd give her old iPhone 11 a whirl since the last iPhone I owned was a 4s. I've given it a few days but I'm switching back to my Samsung Note 10+. It comes down to screen size and scalability of text. Apple limits how big you can make text in apps and on System functions. My eyes have gotten worse as I get older and while I can still use the Note 10+ comfortable without glasses, I can't with the iPhone. Maybe I need to try out the 15 Max when it comes out.
If only one AirPod (or Beats earbud) connects:
1) Put them both back in their case and close the lid for a few seconds.
2)Open the case again.Take out the one that won’t connect and put it in your ear.
3) Wait for the chime.
4) Put the other earbud (the one that was working originally) in your other ear.
I switched to Android and I am more than satisfied. It was my best decision. And the Galaxy S 23 ultra is absolutely awesome.
Welcome to freedom!
@@ThomasHoellriegl my freedom will happen on Christmas for me please wish me luck I get it I’m tired of Apple it’s nothing to do I don’t know why so many people defending Apple and I heard this is good for gaming too so on Christmas I think I will be switching to android or in January
I dont use iMessage due to switching, or testing devices for work. So im not attached to the iPhone. The only issue is the dreaded esim when it comes time to switch back. I only switch back to the 14 pro, because Android doesnt have a premium 6" phone yet with a camera like the 23 Ultra.
I jumped ship about a month ago. So far, I love my android device!!
iMessage is an absolute monopoly and it's sad to see teens bullying others because of this. I'm strongly against bullying and Apple for all the good that they claim to do will not fix this. It's sad!
It's a similar situation in Australia as well (only amongst teens). But it's not the same in other countries.
I doubt Apple will ever open up imessage and fix that lock in. I used to be an all apple fan, but can't stand the idea of being locked into a group of products because Apple won't play well with others.
I wish collectively people in the US would wake up to the monopoly and switch to the great 3rd party chat apps.
I have an iPad and a Samsung TAB. The Samsung is great except for a few things .. it takes longer to charge than the iPad, the battery doesn't last anywhere near as long as the iPad, and it takes FOREVER to re start when it has been switched off.
If you’ve got them synced to several devices gotta pop the case open and make sure your watch or phone is paired to the airpods
Do you not us a flip belt when running? I never hold anything in my hands running.
How about apps on the tablet? Are they as good?
I switched to Samsung (S23+, Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, ear buds pro, Tab S8+) and a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop several months ago. Its been a mixed bag. I do like the fact that I can use Google messages on my laptop and tablet too. Unfortunately, the one area Samsung cannot keep up is with Music. As a semi-professional drummer all the apps I use work better on iPad and not the Tablet. Dex is a neat capability which I have never needed. The watch is the best Android watch I have used and really close to Apple Watch. The S23+ is pretty nice too but the face unlock is not good and if my hands are dry the finger print scanner doesn’t work. The call quality is excellent though. The ear buds pro are good but they will not stay in my ears. Like I said a mixed bag…great video. Thanks
Cool. I'm primarily Android/Windows, but have an ipad because the rest of my family is on IOS.. I won't go IOS on a phone because of the Note series. Love me an S pen.
I'm not sure if I miss something, but did not hear a lot about Windows experience, cause you used the tablet as laptop and for me there lays the difference, trying to integrate the things with Windows is messy, and really I prefer the performance and battery life of the Mac. Mobile wise I think the bridge is getting narrow cause a lot of phones are really great now
My Samsungs work flawlessly with Windows. No effort.
I’ve been with iOS since iPhone 7. Definitely thinking about switching to at least the S23 FE just because why not?
The beeper app lets you iMessage on android or windows/ Linux device. I use apple products but I also like trying out other devices.
I would LOVE the Samsung S23 Ultra but, like you, I can't give up the Apple ecosystem because my family uses Apple and it works seamlessly. I've tried the workarounds for Android but they become frustrating. Don't forget visual voicemail can be a pain depending on your carrier and whether your phone is locked or not. With the updates to the Apple watch and iOS coming in the next week or so, it's not a good time to switch anyway.
Even samsung has an ecosystem. You just don't wanna loose the apple logo and blue bubble
@@jamescassar5348no man it’s seriously difficult to switch apple just ties you so much to their system and the seamlessness is just addictive and i dont wanna buy new tvs new speakers and stuff fir an ecosystem. and tbh its just alot of capital abd time to switch
@@jamescassar5348 Based on this video, it's not a bubble and the logo, but the ecosystem that peoples families are in. I think the whole blue/green bubble thing is just stupid reporting because i've never run across this problem in the real world. I only use android, i've never used iphones, and I've never had anyone complain to me about some color of my bubble or whatever. As far as i'm concerned, this is their issue (as mentioned in the video about breaking his families chats), it's not an issue on my phone. The only annoying thing was the 'Liked 'blah blah blah' text messages that we used to get (they fixed that, but not for me, since i use google voice and not standard sms and google may never fix google voice).
@@jamescassar5348what blue bubble?
see my latest comments i posted to gary in the main section, about imessage to android applications. i am a tester of the sunbird application in fact..
Ive had a lot of issues with my Samsung Buds. One earbud is often dead even though it's been sitting in the charging case charging. The case light is green making me think it's fully charged. The touch sensor is too sensitive so I turn it off.
My brother already breaks all of our chats with android so I guess there’s no issue if I switch there 😂
Also you said if you don’t video edit or game then just use a tablet with Dex. And if you need a laptop and don’t game get a Mac. So basically if you need to video edit but not game get a Mac. Is that what you’re saying?
Not 100% serious, but yeah my wife has a M1 Mac and it’s a great machine. Just they way you laid it out makes Mac seem very niche since the slice of the ven diagram that needs to edit is already pretty small, take out all the gamers/streamers and that’s a really small population relative to all users.
My problem with the galaxy buds is the audio always seems to be delayed. I watch alot of videos on my phone via TikTok and TH-cam are delayed to the point where its annoying. I watched many videos trying to fix the issue but seems to not work and this is on multiple Android phones (Note 20 Ultra and S21 Plus)
I'd like to see what windows laptops youve compared
After 12 years of being an apple user, I switched to Android a few weeks ago. I'm enjoying so far.
I’ve gone back and forth the last 3 phones. iPhone/iPad/iMac but still have google home control and a split household. 🤷🏻♂️
great video
I’ve tried the Samsung eco system and though I haven’t tried the latest Samsung watch or grabbed the latest flip phone I had an S21 a couple years ago with a Samsung Active watch. My issue was the S21 was fairly slow (compared to my now iPhone 13 (not pro or max)). The android watch was painful on using it for voice or even texting, Android Auto was and continues to be unstable though I like some of the features, etc. So the main thing with me and why I stay with the Apple Eco System is 1) speed and 2) reliability using “standard” and not the highest end version of the phone (though the iPhone SE is slower and probably more like my S21)
They improved those points a lot
I'm still using my s21 and gear s3 daily, and they are still running fantastically.
My experience with Samsung products have always been good. Now, i use both Nothing and Apple products and no issues too.
Samsung have made many improvements with OneUi and with Qualcomm : S9 Tablets and S23 smartphones are great. I could go back to Samsung without any doubt if i needed to 😉
If u use google messages you can text from any computer do it all the time while at work
Yep, many reviewers miss this point and try to use Phone Link instead... All they have to do is open their Messages app and select device pairing. Text (with RCS) on ANY browser and ANY operating system.
Yes, I’ve gone back and forth. Apple to Google Pixel to Samsung and back to Apple. Android was surprisingly good. I actually prefer my Samsung Z Fold 5 and Watch 6 to my iPhone 14 Pro and Ultra watch…but the rest of my family and most of my friends are Apple. iMessage is a deal breaker and Apple knows it.
