@@kriswannabe ?
Yet soo many people believe fake news 😆. Even Google..I looked for certain things on certain political leader and found it very biased then tried Go Go Duck..found it very first try.
Btw, when ppl talk about customizability on android, they're not talking about making things look pretty, they're talking about making the software more convenient and cater to each person's needs, this includes automation, routines, countless widgets for quick access to specific areas within apps, websites etc. Possibilities are literally endless.
But ios is already convenient tho
@@tripadvisor66 It's one of the most inconvenient OS I ever used. I barely use my iPad because everything is so unnecessary complicated.
@@Wraikey what’s wrong with your iPad?
@@nekogaming8461 nothing wrong but inconvenient and unnecessary complicated.
Why do I have to see all Apps on my Homescreen? Why is autocorrect always on even though I disabled it? Why does Safari have to be so annoying to use? Why does Apple always ask me for my password if I want to download a basic app? Why do I get a Game Center notification every time I start a game even though I dont want to use Game Center? Ask me once, but not every time I start up a game. These and many more things are what keeps driving me insane when using my iPad. It's so much easier on my Android Phone...
@@Wraikey Uhh just remove the apps from the Home Screen to App Library? And click allow when Apple asks to not ask for password when downloading free apps? And sign out of Game Center? And what’s wrong with its notification? And if Safari is annoying just use Chrome or Opera or something like that. And autocorrect doesn’t turn on automatically but if it does you can just start using another keyboard. You seem like a new iPad user? Are ya?
What is this? A balanced perspective on tech? I didn’t know such things existed
Belts A5 using good technique*
Not sure how balanced this was. He said Apple is the only company that makes the complete puzzle pieces.
What does he mean by that? Samsung also makes smartphones, tablets, watches...
@@marioluigi9599 Dont lie to yoursellf, Samsungs Tablets are far inferior to ipads, same with galaxy watch
@@BeatstormX I’m a Samsung fan and I agree, but I wouldn’t say they’re inferior.
@@BeatstormX I would mostly agree. Galaxy buds are quite interesting though. I would probably choose those over AirPods, if I was to buy a pair of earbuds. However, iPads, and the apple watch, not to mention Macbooks, are just better.
I had been an Android user for most of my life… at least until the iPhone 11 came out and I mostly switched out of curiosity. Honestly I think either iOS and Android can work, but like you said it really depends on your own personal needs and wants from your smartphone and accessories. Now I use an iPhone 13 and an iPad 9 and I really like the consistency and long term use options Apple has over the Android devices which don’t really last as long when it comes to app support. But, I won’t pretend that I don’t sometimes miss the more customizable nature of Androids and the freedom that comes with it, but Apple makes up for it with great consistency and quality. Use what makes you happy. Both are great and both have their pros and cons and both will only be as useful as you make it.
sounds like you miss android but you cannot find unified brand to offer you consistancy
@@hotimpression Sometimes, I do. Ngl. But at the same time, Apple products have been so good that I’m glad I have them. All in all, now that I have experienced both, I can honestly say that I would happily use either Android or iOS. Both shine in very different areas of use and honestly having the option of either one is great, since I know if I ever become unsatisfied with one OS, I can always switch to a device with the other.
I'm happy you're happy with your choice :)
I'm not sure about what you're saying about app updates though, I only had to upgrade my 8 year old Sony Z3 Compact last year because it wouldn't update some apps.
Don't forget that apple slows down phones when they get old to prevent them from crashing all the time. Idk why people hate this, apple just wants to make it still work when you don't upgrade.
It's kind of a pain to switch from the Android operating system to iOS. Everything is different 😆
Thanks for the video!
I agree with you on differences between these two systems. I do have both and find my top of the line Samsungs to fit me better as a phone, but I do like the Apple ecosystem. In the end I still lean to Android because of the features and customizable setups.
Samsung is doing 3 years of major updates now instead of 2
Google Pixel is the better Android experience.
The only advantage for Apple is their ecosystem .other things like privacy and stuff they brag about is just a gimmick .with the experience I worked for these companies I can truly assure every one needs data to analyse and adapt to changes .
The irony is most of the users who get their data stolen are iphone users.
My exact words as well
@@scotchwhisky6094 Because pixel runs pure android
Great Video - in my family I have 3 iphones (wife and kids) and one Android (mine). The reason I am still on Android is specifically for the customization components - I have a single screen where I can get /view weekly weather (animated) - music player (with album art - animated) - batter percentage - charging status (animated) - 2 separate wallpaper sections - highly functional quick launch bar / popups all on one screen - I also make use of the Always on Display - but most important - was the Notification Light (blink) that would show me by color - what type of notifications I have - no need to 'wake up ' the phone to know if I have received something or not. To me that was the biggest feature (of a Samsung Galaxy 9 [and before] ) . Again - personal choice!
@@ka3097 yes, it got replaced by AOD.
I feel as if all the things you just named don't add up to make your life much better they're just there to entertain you not to help you
@@deswill2737 how dose not having to touch your phone to know what kinda notification you have not make it easier.
iphone 2 has everything you listed
@@Ronald1324 sorry,it doesn't
I'll very likely always be in Google's ecosystem instead of Apple's, unless Apple were for some reason to go cross-platform for their services. It's quite simple, really. I refuse to go with an ecosystem that locks me in totally. I want to feel like I'm free to do what I want. If I want to go to iPhone, I will. If I want to switch back to Android, I will. That's what Google affords me the right to. BECAUSE Apple wants to sell you hardware, they will do anything they can to keep you from using an Android phone with your iPad, or an iPhone with your Android tablet. With Google, you can have an Android Phone and an iPad and still have a reasonably decent time. TH-cam Music, Chrome, Docs/Sheets/Slides, Keep Notes, Google Maps, Google News, Google Photos, Google Drive, Google Play Books, etc. All these are on Android and iOS and are synced between devices. When I had an iPad Pro last year, I refused to use Apple services unless I had to, because I'm not going to let myself get sucked into their locked ecosystem.
I really respect how good Apple are at what they do. Amazing hardware, polished software, beautiful products and seamless integration. But their insistence on me sticking with them and only them is what keeps me away.
Excellent feedback. Feel the same
That's the exact same for me. I love Apple's ecosystem, but if I stick to it for too long, I will be fully locked in, and I don't want that. I want to be free from being stuck to a certain company or ecosystem. By using Google's ecosystem, I can use any Android or iOS device, because Google apps are available on both!
Great video! I gotta say choosing between the 2 operating systems is getting harder and harder every year.
If iphone had more customisation I'd switch back to it in a heart beat. But android just edges it for me, both excellent
Man I know, right? a 300 - 400 USD Google or One+, or a 1000 USD iPhone or Samsung. All of them just get the job done and since it is anyway a depreciating asset, gonna stick with cheaper phones which provide sufficient updates over the years.
I wish they'd add always on display for iPhone and replace siri with Google assistant by default and I'd mostly happy with iPhone or if they'd add imessage to Android lol.
If we're being honest imessage is the main reason people stay on iPhone, and videos are just better too.
Great video! Especially when explaining the difference between the two platforms. Might I suggest mentioning how Android works within the ChromeOS and Windows ecosystem now too: Sending and Receiving Chat messages on Windows or ChromeOS, Starting an email on Android and finishing it on ChromeOS or Windows, unlocking your Chrome tablet or laptop with your phone, Send a broadcast messages from Pixel Buds, Galaxy Buds, etc... to your Nest Displays and Speakers, See who's at the front door on your AndroidTV using a Nest doorbell.
I know it's kind of hard to overlook because people don't really talk about it much on TH-cam, but it's all there.
Thanks for the comment. Good stuff to point out. I think those items would fall under the "the best features will eventually be copied" idea presented in this video which is why innovation and progress is definitely needed on both sides and why competition is ultimately good for the consumer (and in that way is a win-win no matter which side of the fence you ultimately fall on).
@@Dailytekk Exactly! The customer wins! Especially when all of these great features come at all price points.
I do also think, only mentioning this sort of functionality in a closed-ecosystem that's priced at a premium leads some to believe that sort of experience doesn't exist elsewhere.
@@MichaelBTech exactly. He missed the part in which android phones can be integrated with PCs and other android devices as well without having to pay. He doesn't know that for sure because he is under an apple ecosystem while lecturing about android features he doesn't know the whole time. The very reason why I will always choose android over iOS is because of data sharing with computers. I could just simply send my files offline using a cord or wireless (bluetooth or shareit) from my phone to my computer and vice versa. This very convenient stuff has been around for more or less a decade now.
@@Dailytekk I completely disagree. Iphone is tethered to mac. If it was a "best feature that will eventually be copied", you would have been able to use imessage or apple maps on Windows by now. But the fact of the matter is, you can't. Apple would never implement a feature that would allow you to use something outside of their ecosystem. They've proven this many times over.
I have an iPhone for work and a OnePlus device for personal use. They are both fantastic phones with fantastic operating systems and apps that do everything I need and much more
Same, but Iphone for personal use, Samsung Fold 3 for work and heavy video watching.
I’m opposite. iPhone for personal use and the eco system and Z Fold 3 for work for better productivity.
I use both. The iPhone SE from 2016 is my banking device and I use a Xperia XZ1 as my actual phone. Customisation is important but to be honest I've used the same Nova Launcher layout over several android phones now, so can understand why people like the simplicity of what Apple offer. If either phone were to die I wouldn't have a great issue using either for the tasks I do on the other, both have their strengths and weaknesses. It's why I use both as I feel that they compliment each other.
Accessory wise I did go with a Samsung smart watch over the Apple Watch. Samsung's offerings simply look better, though not as feature rich, whereas the Apple Watch looks like a miniature iPod strapped to your wrist. There's a reason that the market for iPod Nano watch straps still exists. Plus I can pair the Gear S3 I have with both Android and Apple phones.
Only thing Apple has is iMessage and updates that still don’t give all the features that Android phones already have. Android has everything else and not locked into proprietary hardware and more complicated than necessary file management system. Long story short, I’m going back to Android when that Pixel 6 Pro drops. But iOS isn’t that bad. Just limited. Like driving a Lamborghini in 30mph school zones.
I had Android for the last ten years and now using my brothers old 11 Pro and the thing that bugs me with ios is the wifi and bluetooth always being on even when you turn them off in the swipe down menu requiring you go into the settings to turn them off completely. Also with the Bluetooth it connects to all the devices on your ios device and there is no option to disconnect which ones you want to disconnect except for fogetting the devices.
In Android I had none of these problems particuarly with the bluetooth where I can disconect and reconnect bluetooth devices with out the need to forget the devices and pair again them later on.
Getting iphone 13 pro max next week, throwing my pixel 5 in the 🗑️.
@@cypher3323 that's what you get for buying a mid phone . Should of bought a flagship
@@mitchjames9350 iPhone tends to be finiky . The more you know about tech the harder iOS is to use . Since it's so restrictive
@Skippy_xD another con is . If you want a laptop replacement that's impossible with a an iPad . Due the the software .
Here is the real major differences
Apple:
- Performance is superb it won't drop a single fps in mobile gaming(unless its like 6yo)
- Expensive but if you really obsess with high performance it'll be worth it
- Hard to Pirate stuffs
- Good Camera
- dropping it will cause alot of damage
- secure
Android:
- Performance in gaming is good but not as good as apple
- Not a pain on your wallet
- Pirating is easy asf(+15pts)
- allows .apk files
- durable
- able to do illegal stuffs easily(+15pts)
In the end of the day both of them is great.
that +15 points though 😂😂😂
That 15 points cost y’all a lot of much needed support
For me, there is no privacy anywhere in the tech world if you want privacy, don't use anything electronic
Real! Both spy more illegally than you think, android is just more open about “asking” to make you feel more secure but apple does it do without much telling, sure you can”turn it off” but then what’s the point? Nothings private regardless. You have a phone and with them knowing you it’s better to understand what you need or want, besides js having things thrown at you . I agree that it can fill you with what it wants to, but end of the day it’s your choice to expand your knowledge of anything.
Your comparison has to be the most unbiased, informative, easy to follow one I’ve ever seen. Your breakdown of what your buying into (apples connectivity or androids customization) was such a great way of explaining each side.
Switched to IOS and regret it every single day. Thinking about switching back in a month or two. I really don't see any reason to use IOS except if you already posses lots of Apple accessories. Every menu, app or function i use is better implemented in android. Moreover same apps in IOS and android are better implemented in android, for instance fb messenger which i had to use for some reasons and on IOS it lucks "search" in conversation, which is extremely useful because messenger sucks at loading previous messages.
Since its been 3 months have you switched?
@@alsokaitlin Yes i switched back to pixel 5a about 3 weeks ago. While iphone did have some interesting functionality, overall it was a disaster for me.
I bought 13 Pro almost 3 months ago . At that price, this phone is really good but overated if you don't have other apple product. I daily use both my Samsung and my Iphone without any problem but i don't have:
- ipad
- macbook
- apple watch
- airpods
Almost 3 months and i really don't plan to buy any of this stuff.
So i can do almost same thing with my Samsung and my Iphone, 2 top brands in the market.
I wanted to send you a huge shout-out! I have been down with covid for over a month, and your videos have kept me sane. Keep up the great work!
Hey Mike sorry to hear that you’ve been down but glad you’re not out! Happy the channel has given you something to occupy your time with. Thanks for watching and feel better soon!!
Chris, I LOVED this video! Thank you man! You provided the information someone would need to make a truly informed decision. You are right - at the end of the day, either "ecosystem" can meet someone's needs. It just depends on what an individual values. I always appreciate your videos! You are very professional in your presentation style, each video contains the right amount of content (not too much or too little), and I walk away feeling like I have gained valuable insight and information...not just someone's opinion.
Hey cool. Thanks for letting me know!
on god if apple made a 200$ phone they would destroy android
@@kylegossett1360 whatever they are charging now for any given iphone, it's not for the product but for the ecosystem. Jus to be one link less of the chain, iphones are still selling though many knew it's not worthy of the money being labelled on.
@@kylegossett1360 I agree with you. If Apple decides to reduce the price of their new phones like iPhone 13 etc. They would sell like hot cakes and Apple would double it's profit. In some countries like India people are paying through their nose to buy an iPhone. And the worst part is that there's a huge price difference that is 40,000 rupees between iPhone 13 and the pro model. Surprisingly, This price difference isn't that much in countries like the USA, England etc. Despite the fact Apple has started to manufacture these phones in India. 😔
I have never been so impressed with a video's content/editorial take. The writing was good and commentary insightful. Gave me multiple fresh perspectives that were well thought out and well explained. Thanks for the video!
I've been pondering on wether I should switch or not. And this is exactly what I was looking for. None other video on TH-cam has given this kind of comparison and perspective on what you're really getting into when you buy an iPhone or an android device. Idk why you don't have more viewership. 🙌🏼
Used to be on iPhone all the way from the 3 to the 6S.
Been on Android with my 5 year old Galaxy S8 and it still holds up super well performance wise!
Looking to upgrade to a new phone but undecided on which ecosystem to go with. They both served well during my time with both. iOS had problems back in the day which was why I ultimately switched but those problems seemed to have diminished. I just wished they would ditch the dated lightning cable and get with the modern times and go USB C.
why haven't they done that already
apparently iPhone 15 series comes with USB C so if you want to switch over now is the best time
Hands down, the best video on comparing the two. Thanks for making this video, you helped made my decision on getting an iPhone easier.
This is exactly what I want to hear. Objective perspective in comparing what the two options give you and how they can possibly fit your personal liking.
I have been on the fence lately about which OS I want to go with and this helped a great deal. I used to have all Apple products but currently only have an iPad Pro and a Home Pod. As for droid I have an Nvidia Shield, which does everything I need from gaming (the perfect streaming console) to everyday use. It’s time to switch to Android for a phone. My iPad handles all my drawing apps (Nomad, Forger, Procreate) so the phone will do what it needs to do…be a phone. I don’t need the high end ones, just one that gets the job done. Thank you for a clear and concise unbiased comparison.
What phone did you end up getting?
@@cookiefarmer2087 I ended up getting a Galaxy 8+
@@kerrilynn1553 not bad
I've never seen you or your videos before despite watching a ton of tech videos on TH-cam. I really enjoyed this "different take" on the Android vs. iOS experience. Well done!
Best part of this video was the fact you didn’t try to convince us of how “great” an android phone is, while wearing your Apple Watch. I hate “those” videos. Seems like all the Tech TH-cam creators try to sell you on an Android phone but they are all iPhone users. Thanks for video.
So true!
If I could give some input. Some people are stuck in the apple ecosystem, and would like to advise you not to. Some people would love to switch to android but the ecosystem traps them in.
To be honest its your choice a person might like Apple for its ecosystem or android for its custom experience ,now if your gonna judge a person based on what they use then the problem is you not the product.
Cheap phones have became good . There's literally no reason to spend$1000 + on a phone these days
True, my iphone 8 plus finally gave out and I replaced it with a cheap one plus n200. Same as the iphone in the sense that it's fine as a communication devices and I can consume any content as good or even better quality. Going into dept for a phone is absolutely unnecessary.
Highly agree. Most users are casual tech users and not “power users” and even mid range phones would suffice for the vast majority of folks and save them tons of money. Unless you’re like me and just a tech geek who loves having the newest gadget!
I've never liked a comment so fast. I totally agree.
Agreed!
But there is a minimum you have to spend. Ever touched a cheap android phone, and heard a plastic-y creak as you pushed the power button? :D Yay, spending money for the privilege of touching a Happy Meal toy! :D
I will have to disagree with the folding thing. It makes gaming especially on emulators much better. But that's my case
Wow! One of the BEST pieces I've ever seen! Thanks so much. I switch my Sim daily between an iPhone 12 pro and a note 20 ultra. This really helped to put things in perspective.
I think the main reason i stick with andoid is simply because of the vastness of products, apps, ease of editing, camera benefits, dolby atmos, etc etc etc. I dont want to be stuck with one certain platform.
I really appreciate that video, it was a very clear to the points description of all main factors ide wanted to be reminded of and a lot of information i never knew I should know when choosing phones. Like the entire way the video was put together tho,just fresh is the first word that pops in my mind. Don't usually comment on most videos I want h, but this one definitely had a different feel to it I like.
I highly appreciate the big picture view! This was a different review on these products and services. Thank you much!
Great video, very well constructed. After trying both I find myself (unintentionally) in the Apple camp. They just work. Still have respect for the android platform though.
Hi, thank you for this video, looks like just what I needed to get started. Unfortunately I gotta watch it at least one more time till I understand even the half of it.
Wow - Very well thought out and entertaining conversation. Excellent!
Your video gave me the clarity I've been looking for! Thx!
Thank you Chris for another epic video!! I love hanging out and learning a lot of great information. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks Kayla!
@@Dailytekk, you’re welcome!! :)
This is the best explanation of both operating systems without leaning towards one more biased meaning. Great job!
Ya i agree this is the best explanation i was looking for
This is the first time I seen a video like this and it was exactly what I needed. Because of the uniqueness of this content I'm going to subscribe because it was earned not asked for. Cheers!
Great video Chris. I haven’t been a Android user since the iPhone 3g came out thanks to a doctor at the hospital where I work. iPhone has come a long way and I just think it’s worth it. Both platforms have something to offer different ppl but, I do love the ecosystem of apple and that you get consistent updates. I hear some of my friends say they wish Android would provide more updates. Thanks for making easy to understand the difference between the 2.
Apple, the privacy co., will now hash and scan files on your phone and there is no opt-out feature. I will be switching to Android for that reason alone.
android is no better, apps we are using aren't safe so doesn't matter what we use
@@mitchellgoldstein1573 True, but there is choice on Android that is no longer on iOS. I can not use apps or the cloud or choice what apps to use and what file to put on the cloud. I know shopping malls have cameras; I can go in or not. However, the cameras are not put in my house. Just another perspective.
It’s a nightmare trying to transfer files from iPhone to a Windows 10 desktop. Another reason to get an Android.
Android apps or the manufacturer would have done that without telling you
@@scotchwhisky6094 i feel no different transfering files between android and windows.
Good video! Been an android user since the Evo 4g came out. Loved the first iPhone and the 3gs but felt they didn't have customization I was looking for. I would love to try the iPhone again and see what it feels like now.
I'm late reply but iPhone new models have the most customization as far as looks and functionality out of any phone on the market. You can literally make your own vibrate pattern for when your phone is silenced. I'm sure you've tried iOS again since this comment, but in case you haven't you should love the iPhone if your somewhat experienced, because iPhones can sometimes be unreasonably complicated.
Iphone is good but boring comparing to An android phone. Maybe future iOS will change something.
It depends on your budget :
if you don't look after long term support i will Sony Xperia 1 IV or Oppo Find X5 Pro
but if you care you can go with S22+, S22 Ultra or Iphone 13Pro/Max.
I really like the format which goes with Sony Xperia 1 IV
Discussing how big tech is surveilling us is not something I expected, and it rocks. Props on that!
Never seen a better comparison than this one . Awesome content
I am a pick and choose type of person, I will stick to my android thank you. Biggest issue for me from mac is gaming, I have been gaming for a long time so gaming is very very important on my PC. Very nice video.
Made my decision clear to stay with iPhone. I was really thinking about the switch after seeing and using family and other peoples Samsung phones mainly for pictures and I was super impressed. Especially being currently frustrated with my XR. So thanks
Me too. The privacy sways me
Very informative and helpful. Thanks!
Really unique video and outlook. Well done man
As an Android user, I have to agree. By using any Google products or services, you are accepting that you are being not just spied on but sold out. But the thing is, nobody is actually seeing this data. Everything is done on big servers with no human interaction.
Honestly I don't think opting out changes anything. Google is mainly an advertising company, so I'm sure they're still using your data to get money.
Good vid. I have both, the latest Samsung Galaxy phone and and a fairly recent model iPhone (Samsung for personal use and iPhone for work use). The camera on my Android is by far superior, and when it comes to customization Android wins hands down. The biggest issue I find with Android is it doesn't always play well with iPhone (that is, the rest of my family is on iPhone and group messages don't come across or are delayed, images and vids get compressed, etc...) and many of the Playstore apps seem buggy. I can have an issue with an app on Android and pull up the same app (with the same account logged in) on my iPhone and it always works fine. It seems the "world," at least here in the US, is tailored for iPhone first, and then everything else. I just may go to iPhone for personal use the next go-round.
I liked the approach. Definitely not the same as most other comparison videos.
Really awesome video. Simple and straight forward
Thank you very much for making this helpful video. Keep up the excellent job. A video comparing the Galaxy Z fold 3 to the iPhone 13 pro max would be much appreciated. I'm waiting for the Apple event on the 14th to make a choice; if you made a video, it may help me, especially because I'm stuck in the Apple eco system, but I can't resist the design innovation of the Z fold 3. Thanks Chris
Loved the video. Buy a phone that you like and you think will add value to your life. Doesn't matter if it is a 1000 USD or 200 USD. It is a depreciating asset after all and one shouldn't be a sheep to superiority complexes
Thank you for the great and super informative video!
Thanks Emerson!
i luv da angle u took in comparing da big 2 mobile OS :D such awesome content rite here
I’ve been with Apple since iPhone 3GS after switching from Sprint Evo 3D 4G phone. I love Apple simplicity & ecosystem. iMessage, FaceTime, emojis, camera, video editing apps was my main reasons for switching. Android not bad at all & has improved over the years but I prefer Apple as my preference.
@@speedypopoff huh?
Starting an email on any device and finishing it on another is something google basically allowed us to do since Gmail became a thing on phones
Very good analysis, I liked it, I subscribe, for a while I did not listen to a mobile analysis paying so much attention.
This was remarkably helpful and informative. The best video I've seen on the matter yet and puts things into perspective nicely. I now feel I understand a lot more about what I'm buying into if I choose iPhone as opposed to an Android device
Main reason I only buy Samsung(android) is because when I buy a device, I like to own both the hardware and software. I like freedom and not to be told how to use something I own. On android you literally have the capability to do anything, if you don't want to be tracked, you can disable it, if you don't want to see ads on your apps including TH-cam, Spotify, and all other popular apps, you can disable them. There's so many workarounds on android to do anything you want and set up the phone to make life easier and more convenient for you.
Can you please explain how to disable ads on TH-cam and Spotify??

@@abhirammadhu2973 yes you can, download a different version of the app 😉
@@abhirammadhu2973 yes
In pure specifications and performance, I don't think Apple lags behind in any way. Android just gives more options.
Apple is the best in performance.
It’s whether you actually need or notice the performance Apple offers. For most casual users they won’t notice.
Android phones use better/faster parts but iPhone don’t need the best tech because app developers heavily optimize their apps to run on iOS butter smooth as if it were on a hi-tech android. It’s just easier to code on.
If we had a phone with Android’s parts, and Apple’s optimizations, we’d have the ultimate phone.
@@ZeroSmokes what you said is true but i disagree on apple's mobile CPU being weak.
@@tres-2b299 I never said it’s weak. Simply sufficient.
That was such a great video! Thank you very much ^^
This is one of the best really unbiased video if been looking for as I've been thinking to change from android to apple. Thank You for the vid.
Not as expensive as you might think to go the Apple route, so long as you purchase used devices or purchasing on sale or tax-free routes. As mentioned, you’ll get many years of constant updates for them. Nice video Chris!
@The dark lord Because you are using a cheap Android phone
@The dark lord that's just because you 'want' to, not 'have' to
@The dark lord then use it for 3 years new iphones bearley survive 4 years same with android
@@divano1014 and apple just wanna take that customizable tag and midrange market from android haha lol samsung will not give 4 years update content creator says that the same case was with s20 this isall hype in market its just bisiness tricks
@@divano1014 android will never rule apple or nor apple will rule android they cant be defeated if android try then apple will bring something terrible in stage and they have already proven that with first iphone and mac
So runing both software here and rocking s21 ultra as my main gun and iphone mini as a side one... Like both tbh but when it comes to tablets s7+ vs my ipad pro with the magic keyboard i would say apple is ahead by lil... But will i would choose apple for tab. Love both software but its all personal need and preference
The best and clear answer for the biggest debate in th universes.... Thanks dude u are awesome ❤😇
Great video! This perfectly sums it up.
Just switched to iPhone.. for perspective, I used Samsung from the 1st galaxy. I had the, s1 s2 s3 s4 s6 s7 and then the p20 pro. I stayed on the pro for a while and now I have iPhone. Switching to iPhone has been easy and I feel like my productivity has increased. Very happy
First ever Iphone since March 21. Iphone 13 Pro is really good. Dont't you miss:
- Split Screen
- Dual App
- Back Button
- Always On Display
Definitely loved this video and all points especially now , when all phones do the same things for the most part but have small differences . The privacy thing is a big part to point out as well
Do you think Apple products are more secured ??? Think again a simple text message or a whatsapp message is enough to get control of your phone and this cannot be detected at the os level .
And also every company in the world require your data to improve your product .
I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
Thanks for watching!
I really can't overstate how helpful this video has been to me, amazing.
Glad to hear it!
Honestly, I love both iPhone and Android and they have their benefits. Both great operaring systems in the smartphone world. I just wish people would stop arguing on which is better and disrespecting what phone they have. It's just plain stupid that people are like "HAHA YOU HAVE AN ANDROID YOU'RE POOR". I know it's tough for people to respect each other's phone but eh.
Hi, this was a great video (as usual) and I really liked that you showed a perspective that was quite different than some of the other channels talking about this subject. As a person who uses both a Mac and an iPad, I think it would be best to get an iPhone when the time comes. It’s more convenient in my opinion, as these devices sort of work together to help a user get the most out of the Apple experience. I also have a suggestion for a video: is it better to use Spotify or Apple Music? I listen to music all the time using both apps but I’m not really sure which app I should use.
Bye 👋
Use Apple Music,you have to pay but it’s worth it coz it has Dolby Atmos(Spatial audio),Lossless audio and Apple digital master.
@@SAMURAI-xe6gn Wow, thanks for the advice. Have a good day :)
@@taniamubaslat4080 android is best
@@adii18s Both are best in their own fields. iOS is good on privacy and Android is good on customisation.
@@taniamubaslat4080 Your welcome
Hey Chris! Excellent video and thoughts about iPhone and Android 👏👏👏
I completely agree with this. I gave myself a month to weigh the pros and cons of upgrading to iPhone 13 and Pixel 6. I got the latter. Makes my life simpler.
This is so true. I was android for years and then in 2017 I switch to iPhone and now in 2021 I own an iPhone, a MacBook Pro, AirPods Pro, and an Apple Watch 😅
same here! there's something about Apple that's addicting lol
Hey Chris, I really enjoyed this video, a great approach!
I have a question in regards to your podcast, is it available on Spotify?
Thanks!
Yes! heyitschris.transistor.fm/subscribe
@@Dailytekk That's great! Thanks Chris 👍🏼
I like the approach you took. Well put
Yes it's really a different and useful. Thanks for it bro!
Such a good video man! I am wanting to switch from iOS to either the Galaxy Z Fold 3 or the upcoming Surface DUO 2, but my family groans at the thought of having to have green bubble convos. I really wish we could switch without so much drama. After so many years on iOS, I really want to try Adroid but feel stuck.
Because of green bubbles?...
@@upbeatdeadbeat9751 The iMessages on iOS are blue of your texting with other iOS users and green if it’s sending a standard SMS to non iOS devices.
@@jaykuykendall7660 wtf
Why would you buy a Z flip that has garbage plastic screen that even your finger can make dents on it? If you want to switch buy normal phone that will last you.
Wtf is wrong with Americans and bubble colours?
I used them both at once.
I have my XS Max and my S20+
Both work very similarly and tbh, after a while you stop caring which one is better or worst. At this point, I could run only one platform without caring. Either you have an iCloud or a Gmail account as primary, in both phones you can have all your data synced. The rest is the less.
Thanks for this video! I especially connected with the company aspect of a phone purchase. Voting with our money has power.
I have watched countless arguments wrt Android vs iOS but by far I think this video is so much more accurate than any of those. You have nailed every piece of info regarding both the worlds. I would point anyone who is at crossroads to this video.
My main concern is privacy. I have had iPhones since the 4, and then tried the Galaxy S7. I went back to iPhone and have been eyeing Samsung S21. I don't know how secure their privacy and security is. What are your thoughts, Chris? I don't customize my phone. My family and friends all have iPhones, and I have heard that texting is an issue between the two.
Stick to iPhone as your main and try to get Samsung midrange phones as your secondary phone. I would recommend the A52 5G or the regular A72.
That way you'd be happy using both operating system, heck if you live in the US you can get the Google Pixel 5a for clean experience.
Or you could go with the Google Pixel 6 Pro with Vanilla Android.
It's kind of cute Apple has convinced their cult following that they're any more "secure" than android is lol.
@@shortyg1018 factually it’s true. It’s very rare to get viruses and malware on a iPhone unlike android phones. And with Apple offering better privacy over than Google’s capitalistic monitorization, it’s safe to say Apple provides better privacy.
@@t-dog1230 Depends. Generaly speaking most security experts have agreed Android and iOS are pretty close to being equal in vulnerabilities. iOS is harder to exploit but also harder to secure where as Android can be customized to be extremely secure it just depends on the user and how they set up their device. Remember when all those celebrity personal images were leaked? That's wasn't Android.
This is by far the most succinct and objective explanation I've heard about switching from one ecosystem to another. I'm on the verge of shifting to an Apple thanks to Google's indifference in making their flagship phones accessible everywhere. This helps make an informed decision for sure.
did you switch? if yes how it is?
@@eccologg I managed to get hold of a Pixel 6. Happy with the device so far 😊
@@homesavvytech😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Pretty thorough outlook on the two sides of coin
Image being able to fold the iPad mini 6 in half so that it can fit in your pocket, and you would be able to make phone calls with it so you wouldn't need a second device (iPhone). It would change the fundamental smartphone experience for you. This is what the Fold 3 does.
Everything you mentioned about how Apple products work together, Samsung / Google / Microsoft can work together the same way. The OOBE is defiantly better with Apple, though.
I switch to an iPhone last week and I dont regret it. In this type of vídeos I was always defending android over ios but the difference is that android phones became the same thing nowadays. All I see are such giant phones without an notch and 4 cameras and they dont get software updates
Same here. I had to change android each year because it slows down, doesn't get regular updates, battery gets worse, needing me to charge twice a day, camera starts to loose focus, etc ... And I watch people around me still rocking their Iphones 7-8 that don't have those problems. So in the end, I don't want to change phone each year I want it to last and be able to sell it in few years which I never can with my android even if it's only one year old. That's why I ordered new Iphone, I just has bad luck with the chip shortage and have to wait till January until it arrives. 😁
@@vexystar3389 Im loving my iPhone hope you have a good experience with your iPhone
Never had a battery or lag problem with my Samsung phones but the update thing is frustrating
Great video. Evaluating the ecosystem is important. Often we find ourselves looking at function and features
i found iphones/ios to be the focus grouped for 12 - 16 yr olds. nothing but emphasis on pictures, videos, emojis and sharing. everything is one size fits all and is really feature/information deficient
I consider both pretty good. I just know exactly what I m getting from an iOS device but not from an Android. I have had many of both, and there are always surprised with Android. For the good or the bad. At the end do I prefer no surprises.
Both systems are great and have things that might be more important to some people which will help you pick your preference. For the average person, iOS is the least stressful and easiest to use. I prefer iOS now after years of Android. If iOS adds an Always On Display and Split Screen Multitasking it will be perfect for me. Also TH-cam Vanced! But I doubt that’ll happen lol
Hi Brett, i disagree on your point. An average person is not more stress with Android than iOS. It's only habits.
I have habits using Always On Display ( and don't understand my friends/collegues who use Iphone and say Always On is useless ), i prefer the way go back on page with Android, Split Screen ( i often use TH-cam + Chrome or TH-cam + Whatsapp and it's really useful. Also having Dual App to use a Personnal and a Professionnal/Personnal Projet account on Facebook or other app is really useful and easy to use.
I don't have all this features on my 13 Pro and i miss them a lot.
iOS is good but Android is also really good : they both do the job of a smartphone
Great Video, i believe they are both great , with their own frustrations. IOS is so fast, smooth and polished out of the box yet Android so many more hardware and software options.. wish i could have the best of both...
Please make a video on how we can properly think while buying any device like iPhone mini, iPhone, iPhone Pro, iPhone Pro max....
Hi so I have a question I've yet to find a sufficient answer. If I have N option between an iPhone se 2020 ( current deal I'm seeing is $250 plus 3 months free service) vs any android at a similar pricepoint, which would be better? I'm looking mostly for something that will last me longest? I'm used to buying cheap phones that usually don't last longer than a year.
On the iphone 12 pro currently, i also have ipad pro 2017 10.5.i would love to try the galaxy note series but im so used to the ios platform.
You should go for it. I use an iPad Pro and a Galaxy Note20 Ultra and while these devices use different operating systems, they are the perfect combo when it comes to productivity. Plus, you won’t have to be trapped in the Apple or Android ecosystem.
@@smartphonefan5226 idk man I use an apple watch and I love to airplay to my mac or airdrop also you can copy paste between the too, it's so good for photoshop and coding etc
The note is dead the fold killed it so no more new notes
Android vs apple videos always make us feel more confused hahaha
I appreciate your beginning comment. Choose what you like and makes you happy. Everyone has there own niche and specific use. Even if its particular taste. Heck who says your taste cant change. I find it odd my buddies gang up on me for looking at apple. But they just switched brands of cars they drive..
