And then there is Linux mobile OS for those of us who dislike both Android and iPhones. But, Linux mobile OS is not for many, not even for most people. But that's okay. I don't need it to be for everyone. But for those who do want a third choice and are willing to take the plunge Linux has its own set of pros...and cons.
@@dontaylor4464 Why did you have to upgrade from the 12 to the 13, it's basically the same phone 🤦♂️ I mean it's your choice, but still. That was very unessary.
That's the worst for me. The ecosystem. You feel so left out if you only have 1 Apple product in your entire community (iPhone mini) in a world of Android/Windows devices.
i have a mac and ipad but really wanted to try samsung phone. absolutely loved using it but missed the integration so much. it sucks when your phone doesn't communicate with any of your other devices. i'm now back to iphone lol.
That is what I hate it, I have other products that are better...better headphone in Sony, laptop is preference...I can't stream from iphone to a big TV like Samsung Dex...apple eco system is just a subscription ecosystem that traps u
I’ve just switched to iOS too after years using Android and I completely agree with you. Widgets could be more interactive and as someone who has some Google Home devices I feel it takes a little more effort to use them.
Been an adroid user since forever and I decided to try out the iphone 13 pro max and honestly, I'm loving it so far. It took some time to adjust to the OS.
ive been using apple since i was in high school, but now that im in college ive decided to switch to android. They both have pro's and cons, but i went for android because of its expandable storage and customizability
@@maricelamoreno7539 I don't really know about the software of both Samsung and iOS since I haven't used them much but as for hardware... It's gonna be quite the jump plus the screen not being lcd on the s21 is going to help the battery even more, tho u r probably gonna need quite a bit of time tinkering with the settings and in general the freedom of android
as a lifelong android user, i never really wanted to switch to ios. i get the pros that u can get with the brand, but ultimately, i pick android everytime
I also kinda just want to stick to android because of what ik will cost me if I switch to iOS (not even the ecosystem, the software in general and how u don't have much freedom) but I want to at least try iOS for once
I've jst completely switched from the apple ecoystem and joined the Samsung ecosystem , I'm using the galaxy S21 ultra , galaxy tab s7+, galaxy book ion, galaxy watch 4 and galaxy buds live and I have to say convenience on Galaxy devices across the Galaxy ecosystem is almost on par with my time in the apple ecosystem and I don't see myself switching back anytime soon as of now , the biggest downside was the cost 😂, about 3.2k which is abt the same if I wanna remain in the apple ecosystem
@@speedypopoff gor for it. I did the same. Phones are not that exciting anymore, so switching from different OS sure gives back that excitement for a while. Apple offers less impressing features, but what it gives comes with extremely high quality
They always have been, but as I get older I care about that less and less and just want something that is seamless and smooth and connects well with my other devices. That’s the iPhone for me. Depends what your preferences and needs, of course.
its has been for over a decade. apple had to copy most android features little by little because there will be no real update or refinement that they could do to catch customers attention.
I am currently using a Note 20U and I have a iPhone 12 Pro Max. I switch between the two quite often. What I love about Samsung is the customizations. I love that Samsung keeps pushing the envelop on technology. My reason for Apple is the fact that everything works, syncs together and timely updates. Something Samsung is getting better at. Either eco system is great it all depends on the user.
One thing that bugs me the most is that the iPhone keyboard doesn't show the number row or alternative character (like long-press on a key to input another character) but I have to click the bottom left button every single time to access those. In my case of use, I need to juggle between letters and digits a lot so this is truly an inconvenience. Also, the default calculator app on Samsung is far more superior with history and built-in unit converter.
Wow! Basically Iphone experience is worse in almost every aspect. I want to buy a MacBook and I'm looking into switching to Iphone because of that...but almost everything will be a downgrade regarding user experience. I don't like the shape the notch/pill...the os...nothing.
I made the move to iPhone 13 Pro from OnePlus 7 Pro. My first day with the iPhone I was thinking oh no I a made a huge mistake, but once I got over the shortcomings of iOS, I have been tremendously happy with this phone. I thought the notch would be my biggest annoyance, coming from OnePlus Pro 7, but surprisingly it hasn't bothered me due to that screen real estate note being super important for the OS. The biggest negatives for me are how iOS does notifications and icon arrangement. The biggest pros have been the superior RAM management on iOS and the strong battery life.
I just switched from ios to android and my annoyance so far is the opposite of you. I can't stand how android sends notifications and the biometrics need worm.
@@raeclack3068 It was really just a week or two. Don't get me wrong, I still have a bucket of nitpicks, but I've come to respect the predictable reliability of iOS. And the hardware performs so well, especially the battery life. If you are lukewarm on the Android choices (like I was), the 13 Pro or Pro Max is probably as good a time as ever to jump in. It seems like it should be pretty easy to not get too locked into the ecosystem, so I can jump back to Android at any point.
I agree! Lifelong Android user here, using OnePlus 6, Pixel 4a5g, and OnePlus 9. I just switched to an iPhone 13 Pro and it took me two weeks to get used to it. I really like the speed, battery life, and smaller size. My Androids were nice but I have yet to experience the screen freeze of Android. The battery life has been a day and a half of calls, texts, news sites, and some TH-cam.
I've been a long time apple user, from an iphone 3GS. I used an Android phone for a little while after the iphone 4s. The galaxy series to be specific. Then I changed back to apple until recently. Ever since the pixel 6 came out I've been excited to try and switch to it. And I did! Been using the pixel for 2 weeks now and honestly I am quite surprised as I thought I'm going to struggle to try to get used to the OS. Been enjoying the pixel so far. 😌😌
Great video Ella! I tried to switch to an iPhone and loved it, but can't seem to get used to iPhones gallery app and files app, compared to Androids. Android just makes it very easy to find everything by making separate folders for everything.
Nooooo! Don't tell me this! I'm about to buy the 13 mini just because of the size!!! I have hands of a 10 year old! I have a Samsung and the way android and especially One UI organizes the app gallery is so good !
i once switched to iOS from my Samsung note 9 , worst mistake ever. having to repeatedly reach for the top left or top right of the phone, slow lightning port, cant download files and videos easily, notifications were messy, no always on display, no dual sim.. list is endless. i find it strange when people try to justify all these just by saying the iPhone just "works" , even the network and data speeds are low on the iPhone . well to each his own. For me its Android on samsung S and note series which is the total package.
Half of the things you mentioned don't make sense. To go back, you just swipe anywhere from the left (top to bottom). What do you mean you can't download files easily? What type of files? What do you mean notificatyions are messy? I don't get it. Why would network speeds be slower on an iPhone? I do like the idea of reverse wireless charging and an always on display, but that's not on every single android phone.
@@Jonny-317 i am a user of both iPhone 13 pro max and s21 ultra. I think what he was commenting on, like in her video swiping to go back is much more seamless on the galaxy device can be done anywhere and with ios it cannot some pages require you to hit the back tab located at the top or bottom depending on how the page was designed and you swipe from left to right to back which isn’t convenient for right users and not exactly seamless. He is also talking about the left and right top of the screen which is how you access notifications or the tool tab. On android it’s a little easier because you can just swipe down once or twice depending on how you like it and brings the tools and notifications down to you making one handed use far more easy to use. I’ve noticed for files and downloads it’s hit or miss for both devices but if you are pairing with windows I feel that Samsung and Microsoft work a little more seamless. As far as signal I don’t know maybe his phones antennas aren’t good but I can’t tell. The only thing I feel is better when it comes to signal is my s21 ultra for some reason it has much better Wi-Fi signal than my iPhone 13 pro max. Maybe it’s the way the Wi-Fi cards were designed. All in all both are great devices. I like my iPhone as my work phone and my galaxy as my personal phone. Both great choices and really can do most of the same things with ease.
You have to realise S21 have received countless amount of firmware updates ever since its launch, and vast majority of its bugs and glitches have been polished over time although I'd say that they still don't run as stable as it should.. at least on my S21 Ultra. Most of the bugs and glitches you experienced with Pixel 6 models are mostly to do with the new Android 12 as this iteration is one of the biggest change and overhaul coming from Android 11, Also Android 12 along with Pixel series (especially the Pixel 6 series) have not even had a proper firmware update yet since release. Just a November security update which was very minor. That's why the upcoming December security update will have over whopping 100 different optimizations and bug fixes to both Android 12 and Pixel 6 models such as thermal battery improvements, camera stability and performance improvements, various of sensor improvements along with fingerprint and so many more to list. If you still have your Pixel 6, try and wait until the 13th Dec as that's when the update will rollout on your Pixel 6. I would say this massive update will put Pixel 6s where it needs to stand within the competition. I am noticing tons of improvements and refinements to optimization on my Pixel 5 already as the older Pixel models received it yesterday, a week earlier than Pixel 6s.
@@androguyy That's not the case unfortunately. Previous Pixels were notorious for having a ton of hardware and software issues, my Pixel 4 is still buggy, the list of Pixel 6 issues are really long. Very unfortunate.
@@sarfaraz.hosseini Then you are also wrong my friend, my Pixel 4 that I had for a year and a half had no issues apart from its poor battery life. Literally every phones have issues and traditionally Pixel phones gets bashed around by "tech media" more than others.
The real clincher for me, after literally decades of Android use, was the glitchiness of apps and occasional freezing. Because Android developers have to take into account an huge number of handsets and hardware configurations, the best you’ll ever get from Android is “good enough” where Apple iOS is one ecosystem where every app is designed and optimized for it and its devices. If an app doesn’t work or causes my device issues, what’s the point of all that customization?
Do you miss anything with android? I'm using an s22 ultra, but this new controversy of samsung batteries expanding is incredibly worrying. Iphone really seems to be the only other choice. I've enjoyed the large squared off screen, s pen and freedom on android, but much less am I doing those android power user things anymore. How much more snappy and fluid feeling is ios? I suppose I should just go to a store and check it out. I just don't see any premium android options with the stuff I prefer from Samsung. So if I switch I feel like I might as well just go with iphone?? Thoughts?? Good animations and fluidity is something I value. Maybe that can make up for the notch and rounded off corners.
@@hobosnake1 tbh go with the iphone, my dad's samsung has a swollen battery too, same goes for one of my friend's s21 ultra. with the iphone you get better performance and a screen that doesn't curve and break on impact (speaking from experience) 😭
Almost everyone gives attention to OS before buying a phone,but for me they are all same. You can watch TH-cam at both,can make calls,chat,play games and list goes on. So phone is a phone,they are the same
There's some small but important things I found when switching to iPhone from my galaxy. For one, the data speeds are better on the iPhone. Samsung has similar features that are supposed to work like air drop for example that don't work as well as how Apple does it. The battery life on iPhone is so much better its actually disturbing.
I've been primarily an Android user but have occasionally used iPhones. I have a pixel 4a 5g and have been eyeing the iPhone 13, I think I'm getting a bit tired of all the different types of phones, and i already have a MacBook, iPad, and airpods so I feel an iPhone would work much better with them than my pixel. It's a good phone but sometimes there's glitches and crashes, and I keep on wondering how polished iOS is. Also I'm very aesthetic oriented and can't deny how good the pink iPhone looks, and there's so many cute accessories for them too! If I get an iPhone I'll definitely miss the customization, I love changing icon packs and the sizes and everything, but I don't think it would be a huge deal for me. Just hoping it becomes easier in the future lol. Thanks for the video! It's very helpful for people on the fence like me lol
Why doesn't anyone ever mention the junky keyboard? No number row and hitting the shift key just to get to the punctuation keys is such a pain! Another one of the features that I'll miss most is continuous screen capture. Capturing a whole text conversation in just 1 screenshot is boss. Also, what app(s) did you use to make the switch? Did your messages come over to the new phone?
Samsung has an AirDrop feature too You can also sync your settings among Samsung gadgets. iPhone is a crappier overall smartphone, except the CPU with is actually better than any Android
I had my eyes on Iphone 12 for a while the moment it came out because the design really made me want to try out Iphone because i’ve been using android phones for well over 10 years then when the iphone 13 came out i finally decided to go for it, switched from galaxy S10+ to Iphone 13 pro max, about 4 months in and i can say i really loved it, aside from not being able to download music for free and listen to it offline or download modded apk files my experience with ios has honestly been fantastic, also realised there’s no chat head bubble for messenger on ios which was something i pretty much use 24/7 but i can cope with it
Greetings from a stats major at UTSC. My Xiaomi was infected by a severe virus a month ago, then I switched to the iPhone 13, it's pretty efficient and easy to use. Finally, good luck with your study.
I have been switching back and forth from iOS and Android but ended up with iOS for consistency and tired of customising my phone after a while. But I do see the benefit of Android OS (unless you are fully integrated to Apple Ecosystem).
Google Assistant is much better than Siri and I use it on the Google Nest Hub and I have also installed the Google Assistant app on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. On Google Assistant, I really enjoy the speed of responses and the ability to set multiple timers that cab is named and unnamed. For example, I can say, "Hey Google, set a timer called cook for 15 minutes". However, I can set at most one timer using Siri. I agree with you 100% that widgets on iPhone are absolutely useless because they replaced something that was much more dynamic in nature. A widget is equivalent to clicking an app's icon. All the best on your finals and please do keep the videos coming.
Honestly as someone who always switched back and forth, I just think iPhones are consistent at hitting every spot a phone should be good at. Android phones are amazing but there is always like one thing each Android phone just can’t nail. Oneplus - camera/video quality, Samsung - battery life (under my experience) Pixel - I don’t like Google UI, I prefer One UI or OxygenOS.
iPhones also have a long list too lol...I used both for years, couple of years back it was about performance and iOS was best....iPhones horrible display with a notch, terrible notification, closed ecosystem....lacks alot of features.
Just what I was looking for. I wish I watched this before I ordered an iPhone 13 an hour ago. I hope I don't regret it. The pro and con of iPhone is Apple's ecosystem. I love that everything works together, but I don't look forward to buying another MacBook one-day just to keep that up. Also, (about the two ecosystems) the iCloud interface doesn't stand up to Google Workspace at all.
I was an iPhone user from the OG iPhone to the iPhone 4, but I switched over to Android with Google's Galaxy Nexus by Samsung. I've mostly stuck with Google's Nexus and Pixel phones (trying out the HTC One series and a couple OnePlus phones), but last year I went with my first fully Samsung phone, the S21 Ultra. I don't know if I'd ever be able to go back to the iPhone. I switched over to Windows a few years after switching to Android, and I don't have any personal Apple products to pull my into the ecosystem. In fact, Windows plays very nice with Samsung, providing some of the same features you mentioned were benefits of the Apple ecosystem. All in all, I think I'm likely an Android user for the foreseeable future.
Recently got a second hand Z Fold 3, trying to adapt myself to Android, as a 10 years old Apple user. Had to say Apple’s display, smoothness, and simplicity are really pleasant to the eyes, hoping Android does similar favours.
I switched to iPhone about 4 years ago and the biggest thing I miss from my old galaxy phone is the little LED light that shows missed texts, calls etc. I also hate that I can’t buy kindle books on the app and have to open Amazon to do it.
I wish they kept the little light. But I do like the edge lighting where the phone lights up colors on the edge of the phone and you can choose the color
1:52 I would hope dropping the phone on carpet, with or without a case would not result in any damage. Let's take it outside to the concrete and asphalt and then we can have a conversation.
Hi Ella! Agree with you regarding the navigation and everything. I previously used S20 FE and switched to iphone 12 pro just this year (I know its late). My conclusion is, except the video camera quality and airdrop of iPhone, S20FE gives totally better user interface ans experience! I kinda regret switching to iPhone :,)
S21 just got better with the release of android 12... and foldable phones are a game changer i will never go back to iphones ever again they just are not customizable enough.... macbooks are good i have one but i recently got the samsung galaxy book pro with 32 gbs ram and the processing power is crazy
I love both, but I always switch back to Apple because of iMessage. On android after a bit messages begin to slow down coming in on group messages , soooo annoying.
Moved over to a iPhone 11 a year and a half ago and decided i'm most likely going to be moving onto a Galaxy Z Flip 3 after it. I've liked the 11 but that Z Flip 3 has just intrigued me so much and i'm also keen to see what the S22 is like. Most people told me when I got my 11 that once you get an iPhone you'll never go back, and I still don't find this true, both are good.
@@averagepcenjoyer4827 apparently there's some good deals going on with the flip but i'm from South Africa and yeah it's basically expensive all the time with little discounts
For me it was true. I wanted to give Apple a try for a year (11 pro max), then go back to Samsung. I got the Samsung Note 10+ and returned it after a week. I realized that I preferred to be treated as a customer rather than an admin. The things I thought I loved about android- I really didn’t care for anymore. I just want a clean, reliable, and secure experience. I didn’t need the bells and whistles that used to impress me. I do miss some features like the pen with the note, and the free picture in picture with TH-cam. But I can live without those. Airdrop, iMessage, Find My, and battery life make up for it.
@@Mimiscellaneous I decided to get a S22 Ultra just less than 2 months ago instead of the Z flip because they were doing such a good promo and trade in for my broken note 9, I've been enjoying it so far quite a bit especially since it's now a Snapdragon unit instead of an Exynos. I miss some things but overall I don't feel much regret of losing those features, probably because I used iMessage maybe twice in the year and a half I had the phone, and my airdrop was barely used too and 50% of the time it never actually work for me. So overall I'm quite happy with it but I still don't regret owning the iPhone 11, I've somewhat come to like both I guess.
It was really interesting hearing your perspective after being predominantly an android user. I had gotten the s10+ for a few months but I just missed the iPhone after about half a year. I do really miss TH-cam pip; I know there was an announcement a while ago that it was coming to iOS users in America. I think it is still only for subscribers of TH-cam premium.
The case drop on the carpet floor. I get it you don’t wanna damage your phone but nothing was gonna happen regardless lol. Enjoyed your review though! Keep up the good work.
Am a fully android fan for years most especially the samsung......Can u also do a video on the samsung eco- system please.....wanna know how samsung eco works too and if it worth sucked into samsung system fully
One feature that most of the time is overlooked in iOS is the build-in 2fa (2 factor authentication) generator. Once setup it will also be available on your Mac. And you don’t have to put the code in manually.
I don’t get why people like to stick to just one platform, taste the rainbow people, I used Android from 2012 to 2018 and iOS from 2018 current and I love both platforms both have their pros and cons.
I also switched from android to ios this year. I am using android since 2012. It was weird in the beginning to use iOS. But got used to it. They have their own pros n cons.
dropping your phone on the carpet, yeah that was too dangerous!. I was shocked when I saw the phone surviving a one-meter drop on the carpet. you did the impossible. you saved your phone from a certain death
With having had a s21 ultra , I miss being able to customize everything but I love that I don’t have to worry about constantly having a charger on me!! With my i13 pro max , I love the quality of my photos, no blurriness ! I also love that it barely looses battery life. I do wish that there was a bit more customization but overall I’m very happy with the switch 😊
Long time android user here. Switched to iPhone 12, 4 months ago just to try it out. Plan was to just have the one phone but I hated the iOS so much at the beginning, I decided to hold on to my android. Now I use both. Main Sim is in the android.
after years using android, i switched over to apple completely (w/ a macbook air, ipad, airpods, the whole shabang)... but after about two years with my iphone, for some reason i just don't like it anymore haha. i'm switching back to android in the new year for a couple reasons: 1) i only really use things like airdrop between my ipad and mac air, never really used those features with my iphone 2) the apple device line up just seem so bland to be now. new iphone every year, looks almost exactly liek the previous generation just with a better camera and refresh rate. this is the main reason i'm switching back to android for my cellphone use, i've had my eyes set on the new zflip 3 :O 3) also the restrictive storage space is ridiculous on apple products 😅
If u want to switch to android, it most likely shouldn't be a "still in beta" phone like the z flip 3, wait a few years and check reviews if u want to buy a foldable or a flip phone
lmaaaaoooo and i just watched your video about why you don't use an iphone from March 2021 that's how i stumbled on your channel because back then you said you reached 10k subs and now you have 125k lol
I used both android and ios before. Since i bought apple watch and airpods I now fully use ios simply for the efficient eco system. and definitely i miss some android functions but my taste in tech goes to apple 🍏
I’ve just changed to iphone 11 from s21U, and I really miss youtube vance, because watching youtube on IOS is quite annoying to me, but the seamless between their ecosystem is awesome
I have had an iphone for seven years . I recently got a Samsung Note 10 for a change . There is not a lot of difference . Same glass slab with gesture navigation. Just choose what you personally like .
I just switched to iOS (due to the cameras on the iPhone 13 Pro) I am still struggling a bit without the return button, trying to adapt to the "gesture" mode on the iOS.
swipe up to get home swipe up and hold or swipe up in home to show tabs. idk how to go back like an android back button since i havent gotten my iphone yet u can watch a video how to use iphone X so yk gestures
I've been a lifelong Android user and I'm currently considering switching to the iPhone so this video was a must watch and I will be switching to the iPhone, I also like the fact that you use Google nest products I do as well
samsung used the widgets many years back..Iphone just implemented it in ios 14. Both have their pros and cons.Iphone gadgets are more lasting and value for money.There was a period after Jobs passing on.Cook did not have the vision to maintain the vision and lost out to China and Korea in their 5G technology. I used both phones as i have a few lines.Iphone was primary the main line till iphone 11.I took the note 20 ultra. I will said that the ipone 13 have catch up...so is the M1 chip on ios and apple OS.
After many years Android I bought me a second hand IPhone 12 Pro Max. It takes a bit time to get used to it, but I love it. Did not use my old Android anymore since. But at the end, it is all about every personal preferences. For me, I stick to my Iphone12 Pro Max for a while.
Was this a permanent/semi-permanent switch, or just a switch for tech comparison? Curious to see if you plan to stick with the iPhone for the "long haul" Great vid btw!
Thanks for your review. I cannot agree more with you on this. I was an iphone user since 6 came out and last year switched to Samsung Galaxy S20+ and I loved it. My last samsung was the S3 so you can imagine the difference I felt. Last month I switched back to iphone 13 (I'm still debating whether I should have bought the pro) and while I love how easy things get synced with my macbook and other apple devices, I'm still not ready to let my S20+ go. There are some apps that surprisingly work better on my samsung than on the iphone and the customization, gestures, gallery, etc. I think works better in the samsung. I miss having a separate folder for the camera roll or maybe is that I have not found how to have it on ios by default? I imported around 8K of photos that i had neatly organized in my samsung, but in the iphone all of them are in their folder and on recents! where my camera roll is as well so I'm very frustrated..... Anyways, I'm still not sure if I'll keep the iphone, I love it but I miss the other features my samsung has. At the end of the day I think I'll try to keep both.
I switched from s21 ultra to iPhone 13 and regretted it. Glad google fi is running a deal for $300 off s22 ultra plus they will give me $505 for my iPhone 13 mini. So, total of $805 of saving for just trading in my mini which I paid $699 for.
So I just switched to iPhone last month and I could say that Android has much pros (for me) than ios. In Android, you can download Modded app versions while in ios, it’s forbidden. But for the Camera’s quality, iPhone has the best since I had Samsung j8 before I switched to ios. For storage, Android has the pro because of its flexibility, you can put memory card. But what I liked about ios was I was able to unlock the IG filters that are unable to use in Android 😆 Android’s batter lasts for almost 3 days while ios can only last around 12H to 1 day.
What iphone did u switch to, cuz if u see a battery test for the iphone 13 pro max, constant light to medium to heavy usage, it can still last 9 to 10 hours
recently switch to ios for the 1st time i miss the gallery and my files of android its so hard with ios esp wen u have so many files and videos and songs everything is just easy on android
best wishes for your finals! It's true that the "return" gesture on android ends up being better than on iOS but yeah overall iOS feels like more polished
i would have to agree with the 'best' part of apple ecosystem. 5 years of software guarantee on iPhone though is a huge difference - since apple cameras are already great, you will just need up-to-date software/updates over time. this saves you money as you wont need to upgrade too often.
i am coming from the galaxy s20 to the iphone 13 pro max. i miseed google assistent so much. but if you install the app. make a shortcut out if it. and set it as a double or tripple tap. you can use it really easy.
After buying and using iPhone 13 for more than a month, I've realised that I miss a handful of Android features too much to really enjoy the iPhone. My next Phone will likely be a Pixel but not any other Android phone.
@@huychau7551 No. Too much bloatware and duplicate applications. I especially hate Galaxy Store that tries to install applications all the time. It is also less privacy-friendly. I am already agreeing to Google's tracking. Don't want another company to track on top of it.
i won't lie i was thinking of the MacBook Pro 14" a few minutes ago, remembered that Ella is doing a giveaway and wondering when the final video would drop, and this video notification popped up in some time. I'm not even kidding lol.
That was a pretty balanced review. Android offers too many choices and too many customizations for me to stay with Apple. I use a MacBook but my phone choice is Android. Love minimizing Google maps, TH-cam videos, always on display, having a back button or easy gestures when using gesture mode. I just wish Android companies did a better, longer job of supporting their devices.
I left the s21 ultra for iPhone 13 mini and I regret it. I thought since I have a Mac that it would be a good idea. I miss the Samsung. I’m getting the s22 ultra next month. I’ll continue to use the MacBook and use android for my phone.
I've been a Samsung user for many yes and decided to try Iphone 13 pro and after only a few days, I absolutely HATE IT!!!! So glad I get to go back to Samsung under my 14 day return policy with Xfinity Mobile...
Going from Android 12 on the pixel 5 to a temporary iPhone that was lent to me until I can fix my main phone has been a difficult adjustment! I'm not a big fan of the lack of aesthetic customization on iPhones and how the software feels a little slow and clunky with navigation, but overall my impression of the iPhone is that it's just kind of doing what it needs to do and not offering much more outside that essential experience
Ella - I agree with you on the Samsung ecosystem, but there is one thing that bothers me greatly. I can only access my previously downloaded itunes music if I subscribe to apple music. How can I get around this? Samsung does not have a good music player.
@@frieza2235 overall I’m sticking to it because I’m ridiculously deep into the ecosystem now. I originally gave it a go because my AirPods (pro and standard) were behaving badly on my android phones. Now I have Apple Watch, MBP, AirTag, and soon iPad to go along with the phone and AirPods, I’m too far to turn back. Overall my satisfaction mostly comes from the integration with everything else rather than how well the phone works. Quick example of something android does that iPhone doesn’t: You have your screen locked on portrait mode and you click on a video link and start watching the video, then decide that you’d like to go full screen. On android, your screen will automatically go into landscape mode and fill the screen as you’d want it to. On iPhone, when clicking the full screen button the phone will stay in portrait mode instead of changing to landscape and filling your screen with the video. In order to do this, you need to swipe down to controls and unlock the orientation button, then turn your phone and after you’re done, relock onto portrait. Fine to do this once or twice but imagine that you watch many videos daily from plenty of sources. This does work on the TH-cam app but not on other places like Reddit for example.
Great video Ella!! I was wondering if you could make a comparison video between the Airdrop function and the Samsung Dex. I never had an Iphone so it got me curious if both functions are similar
So your biggest plus for the iPhone is how well it works with all your other Apple devices but the ecosystem breaks down when you introduce an Android phone to it? Of course it does. The same can be said if you’re all in on the Samsung ecosystem and you throw an iPhone into the mix. Both ecosystem are darn near identical in experience when all your devices are from one or the other.
Hello Ella! Another nice video. I've always been an Android user. I had the first iPhone SE a year ago, which was/is really nice in size. I like the look of the new iPhones much better than the Android devices, but I'm not willing to spend 800-1000 EUR on a smartphone. That's why I'm sticking with Android. I currently have a Samsung A52s 5G and think it's great - just a bit too big. I hope that over the years smaller models will be offered again. I also love designing my home screen the way I want, testing launchers and the more open system in general. no hate! iPhone is just not in my price range and unfortunately not as easy to customize as Android.
You can download Google Assistant on iPhone. Just add the Google Assistant app to shortcuts turn off show when run. Rename it to Get Google. Ask Siri to get Google, it will then ask Google. Works for me.
this is one of my favorite feature, (or hand off when you can continue on app on 2nd device), but it's sad you have to be on Apple ecosystem (my main PC is with Windows), that's one of reasons why I still using Android phone (Yes copy paste between devices works on android too). If I'm wrong correct me...
i have been a long time android user and IOS has improved a lot since 5s era. gawd some functions like unsubscribing to app subs, tinkering settings is a pain on IOS like the display has a thousand separate menu options to tweek the settings. I am keeping both for now. I got a 13pm only because of work subsidy and s22 ultra is still not certified. Im not paying premium for a phone since theres like a sea of mid range android devices in the market that offers the same functions as IOS devices. Do not feel bad if u dont have an iphone, ur not missing out a lot. Warning: selfies on iphones will reveal real skin texture hahah u have been lied a lot if uv been taking ur photos on an android with those very strong beauty filters
Biggest problem: They are freakin heavy! Even the smaller iPhone pro weighs 200g. Surprisingly even heavier than z flip 3 with all those hinges and components... Since i've been enjoying using the new MacBook and iPad, i really want to switch my Galaxy to iPhone too, but the weight and the fact that it doesn't support apple pay in my country is what still holds me back :
@@mlkwy the 60hz on iphone is mighty fast for 60, but I get it, it would feel like a downgrade if u go back to 60 from 120, tho if u did want to get a mini get the 13
I'm glad you talked about the navigation. For some reason no one who compares android to ios talks about this feature. Its a huge con for me, I'm so used to the easy to use gestures that work in every app. I really want to go back to ios, but thats a big annoyance for me.

iPhones and Androids have their own pros. It just depends on your taste in my opinion
I couldn't agree more
And then there is Linux mobile OS for those of us who dislike both Android and iPhones. But, Linux mobile OS is not for many, not even for most people. But that's okay. I don't need it to be for everyone. But for those who do want a third choice and are willing to take the plunge Linux has its own set of pros...and cons.

The best (or worst) thing about Apple is the ecosystem. It just makes you want to stay because of everything fitting with each other like Legos.
That’s so true like I have a bunch of apple products and I think there is almost no way I could switch cause I’m in the ecosystem
@@timothyneufeld4319ig if u sell them online idk...
That's the worst for me. The ecosystem. You feel so left out if you only have 1 Apple product in your entire community (iPhone mini) in a world of Android/Windows devices.
i have a mac and ipad but really wanted to try samsung phone. absolutely loved using it but missed the integration so much. it sucks when your phone doesn't communicate with any of your other devices. i'm now back to iphone lol.
That is what I hate it, I have other products that are better...better headphone in Sony, laptop is preference...I can't stream from iphone to a big TV like Samsung Dex...apple eco system is just a subscription ecosystem that traps u
I’ve just switched to iOS too after years using Android and I completely agree with you. Widgets could be more interactive and as someone who has some Google Home devices I feel it takes a little more effort to use them.

Same. Told myself the only reason I would ever go back is if the iphone I got, had a lot of storage

I also kinda just want to stick to android because of what ik will cost me if I switch to iOS (not even the ecosystem, the software in general and how u don't have much freedom) but I want to at least try iOS for once
I've jst completely switched from the apple ecoystem and joined the Samsung ecosystem , I'm using the galaxy S21 ultra , galaxy tab s7+, galaxy book ion, galaxy watch 4 and galaxy buds live and I have to say convenience on Galaxy devices across the Galaxy ecosystem is almost on par with my time in the apple ecosystem and I don't see myself switching back anytime soon as of now , the biggest downside was the cost 😂, about 3.2k which is abt the same if I wanna remain in the apple ecosystem
@@speedypopoff gor for it. I did the same. Phones are not that exciting anymore, so switching from different OS sure gives back that excitement for a while. Apple offers less impressing features, but what it gives comes with extremely high quality
Same!!!!!! Been using all expensive samsung shit but never ever wanna lose my freedom to Apple ios
Agree. Not like I hate Apple, it just kinda not fulfill my need requirememts
Can’t lie, I do feel like androids have always been more customizable!
They always have been. I think that's been the selling point of android
We always've been. Thats why I still refusing to leave my Galaxy
They always have been, but as I get older I care about that less and less and just want something that is seamless and smooth and connects well with my other devices. That’s the iPhone for me. Depends what your preferences and needs, of course.
@@Mr.Lara01 are u an android ☠️
its has been for over a decade. apple had to copy most android features little by little because there will be no real update or refinement that they could do to catch customers attention.
I am currently using a Note 20U and I have a iPhone 12 Pro Max. I switch between the two quite often. What I love about Samsung is the customizations. I love that Samsung keeps pushing the envelop on technology. My reason for Apple is the fact that everything works, syncs together and timely updates. Something Samsung is getting better at. Either eco system is great it all depends on the user.
U did the drop test on a rug 💀💀💀
Yeah why is nobody talking abt that
One thing that bugs me the most is that the iPhone keyboard doesn't show the number row or alternative character (like long-press on a key to input another character) but I have to click the bottom left button every single time to access those. In my case of use, I need to juggle between letters and digits a lot so this is truly an inconvenience. Also, the default calculator app on Samsung is far more superior with history and built-in unit converter.
You can use SwiftKey on iPhone and works pretty smooth
yeah, def sucks lol
Wow! Basically Iphone experience is worse in almost every aspect. I want to buy a MacBook and I'm looking into switching to Iphone because of that...but almost everything will be a downgrade regarding user experience. I don't like the shape the notch/pill...the os...nothing.
I made the move to iPhone 13 Pro from OnePlus 7 Pro. My first day with the iPhone I was thinking oh no I a made a huge mistake, but once I got over the shortcomings of iOS, I have been tremendously happy with this phone. I thought the notch would be my biggest annoyance, coming from OnePlus Pro 7, but surprisingly it hasn't bothered me due to that screen real estate note being super important for the OS. The biggest negatives for me are how iOS does notifications and icon arrangement. The biggest pros have been the superior RAM management on iOS and the strong battery life.
I just switched from ios to android and my annoyance so far is the opposite of you. I can't stand how android sends notifications and the biometrics need worm.
@@bdelon00 that’s one of the reasons my mom switched from a Samsung to an iPhone not too long ago
How long did it take you to get used to iPhone? Ive been using Android for 6 years and thought about switching and I'm scared I'm not gonna like it
@@raeclack3068 It was really just a week or two. Don't get me wrong, I still have a bucket of nitpicks, but I've come to respect the predictable reliability of iOS. And the hardware performs so well, especially the battery life. If you are lukewarm on the Android choices (like I was), the 13 Pro or Pro Max is probably as good a time as ever to jump in. It seems like it should be pretty easy to not get too locked into the ecosystem, so I can jump back to Android at any point.
I agree! Lifelong Android user here, using OnePlus 6, Pixel 4a5g, and OnePlus 9.
I just switched to an iPhone 13 Pro and it took me two weeks to get used to it. I really like the speed, battery life, and smaller size.
My Androids were nice but I have yet to experience the screen freeze of Android.
The battery life has been a day and a half of calls, texts, news sites, and some TH-cam.
I've been a long time apple user, from an iphone 3GS. I used an Android phone for a little while after the iphone 4s. The galaxy series to be specific. Then I changed back to apple until recently. Ever since the pixel 6 came out I've been excited to try and switch to it. And I did! Been using the pixel for 2 weeks now and honestly I am quite surprised as I thought I'm going to struggle to try to get used to the OS. Been enjoying the pixel so far. 😌😌

I tried to switch to an iPhone and loved it, but can't seem to get used to iPhones gallery app and files app, compared to Androids. Android just makes it very easy to find everything by making separate folders for everything.
i hate the photo gallery too. i just wanna filter out the camera photos from everything else. why do they not even think of this
Nooooo! Don't tell me this! I'm about to buy the 13 mini just because of the size!!! I have hands of a 10 year old! I have a Samsung and the way android and especially One UI organizes the app gallery is so good !
@@kccooper9962 Girl, when I was 10 and had an IPhone, I had the 8 plus, (huge btw) and had no problems
Hopefully you didn’t eother
i once switched to iOS from my Samsung note 9 , worst mistake ever. having to repeatedly reach for the top left or top right of the phone, slow lightning port, cant download files and videos easily, notifications were messy, no always on display, no dual sim.. list is endless. i find it strange when people try to justify all these just by saying the iPhone just "works" , even the network and data speeds are low on the iPhone . well to each his own. For me its Android on samsung S and note series which is the total package.
Half of the things you mentioned don't make sense. To go back, you just swipe anywhere from the left (top to bottom). What do you mean you can't download files easily? What type of files? What do you mean notificatyions are messy? I don't get it. Why would network speeds be slower on an iPhone? I do like the idea of reverse wireless charging and an always on display, but that's not on every single android phone.
@@Jonny-317 i am a user of both iPhone 13 pro max and s21 ultra. I think what he was commenting on, like in her video swiping to go back is much more seamless on the galaxy device can be done anywhere and with ios it cannot some pages require you to hit the back tab located at the top or bottom depending on how the page was designed and you swipe from left to right to back which isn’t convenient for right users and not exactly seamless. He is also talking about the left and right top of the screen which is how you access notifications or the tool tab. On android it’s a little easier because you can just swipe down once or twice depending on how you like it and brings the tools and notifications down to you making one handed use far more easy to use. I’ve noticed for files and downloads it’s hit or miss for both devices but if you are pairing with windows I feel that Samsung and Microsoft work a little more seamless. As far as signal I don’t know maybe his phones antennas aren’t good but I can’t tell. The only thing I feel is better when it comes to signal is my s21 ultra for some reason it has much better Wi-Fi signal than my iPhone 13 pro max. Maybe it’s the way the Wi-Fi cards were designed. All in all both are great devices. I like my iPhone as my work phone and my galaxy as my personal phone. Both great choices and really can do most of the same things with ease.
@@kaiichinose9590 Thank you, makes sense.
@@Jonny-317 most welcome
@@kaiichinose9590 thanks for the elaborate explanation. Even I myself couldn't have explained my comment better. Ha ha.
You have to realise S21 have received countless amount of firmware updates ever since its launch, and vast majority of its bugs and glitches have been polished over time although I'd say that they still don't run as stable as it should.. at least on my S21 Ultra.
Most of the bugs and glitches you experienced with Pixel 6 models are mostly to do with the new Android 12 as this iteration is one of the biggest change and overhaul coming from Android 11,
Also Android 12 along with Pixel series (especially the Pixel 6 series) have not even had a proper firmware update yet since release. Just a November security update which was very minor.
That's why the upcoming December security update will have over whopping 100 different optimizations and bug fixes to both Android 12 and Pixel 6 models such as thermal battery improvements, camera stability and performance improvements, various of sensor improvements along with fingerprint and so many more to list.
If you still have your Pixel 6, try and wait until the 13th Dec as that's when the update will rollout on your Pixel 6.
I would say this massive update will put Pixel 6s where it needs to stand within the competition.
I am noticing tons of improvements and refinements to optimization on my Pixel 5 already as the older Pixel models received it yesterday, a week earlier than Pixel 6s.
just want to add that all updates for both android and ios comes with bugs. its just a cycle of problems>fix>problems>fix>. 1
soo, can u help me in my to decide which one to buy now on December 2021, iphone 13 pro or samsung s21 ultra.
@@abuhaithamsohar iPhone 13 Pro, S22 is only few months away from release.
@@androguyy That's not the case unfortunately. Previous Pixels were notorious for having a ton of hardware and software issues, my Pixel 4 is still buggy, the list of Pixel 6 issues are really long. Very unfortunate.
@@sarfaraz.hosseini Then you are also wrong my friend, my Pixel 4 that I had for a year and a half had no issues apart from its poor battery life. Literally every phones have issues and traditionally Pixel phones gets bashed around by "tech media" more than others.
The real clincher for me, after literally decades of Android use, was the glitchiness of apps and occasional freezing. Because Android developers have to take into account an huge number of handsets and hardware configurations, the best you’ll ever get from Android is “good enough” where Apple iOS is one ecosystem where every app is designed and optimized for it and its devices. If an app doesn’t work or causes my device issues, what’s the point of all that customization?
Do you miss anything with android? I'm using an s22 ultra, but this new controversy of samsung batteries expanding is incredibly worrying. Iphone really seems to be the only other choice. I've enjoyed the large squared off screen, s pen and freedom on android, but much less am I doing those android power user things anymore. How much more snappy and fluid feeling is ios? I suppose I should just go to a store and check it out. I just don't see any premium android options with the stuff I prefer from Samsung. So if I switch I feel like I might as well just go with iphone?? Thoughts?? Good animations and fluidity is something I value. Maybe that can make up for the notch and rounded off corners.
I found 3rd party apps absolutely dire on ios. Never had a problem with Samsung.
@@hobosnake1 tbh go with the iphone, my dad's samsung has a swollen battery too, same goes for one of my friend's s21 ultra. with the iphone you get better performance and a screen that doesn't curve and break on impact (speaking from experience) 😭
Almost everyone gives attention to OS before buying a phone,but for me they are all same. You can watch TH-cam at both,can make calls,chat,play games and list goes on. So phone is a phone,they are the same
TH-cam definitely looks different on the iPhone than on androids. It's worse on iphones
There's some small but important things I found when switching to iPhone from my galaxy. For one, the data speeds are better on the iPhone. Samsung has similar features that are supposed to work like air drop for example that don't work as well as how Apple does it. The battery life on iPhone is so much better its actually disturbing.
I've been primarily an Android user but have occasionally used iPhones. I have a pixel 4a 5g and have been eyeing the iPhone 13, I think I'm getting a bit tired of all the different types of phones, and i already have a MacBook, iPad, and airpods so I feel an iPhone would work much better with them than my pixel. It's a good phone but sometimes there's glitches and crashes, and I keep on wondering how polished iOS is. Also I'm very aesthetic oriented and can't deny how good the pink iPhone looks, and there's so many cute accessories for them too! If I get an iPhone I'll definitely miss the customization, I love changing icon packs and the sizes and everything, but I don't think it would be a huge deal for me. Just hoping it becomes easier in the future lol. Thanks for the video! It's very helpful for people on the fence like me lol
Why doesn't anyone ever mention the junky keyboard? No number row and hitting the shift key just to get to the punctuation keys is such a pain! Another one of the features that I'll miss most is continuous screen capture. Capturing a whole text conversation in just 1 screenshot is boss.
Also, what app(s) did you use to make the switch? Did your messages come over to the new phone?
Samsung has an AirDrop feature too
You can also sync your settings among Samsung gadgets.
iPhone is a crappier overall smartphone, except the CPU with is actually better than any Android
I had my eyes on Iphone 12 for a while the moment it came out because the design really made me want to try out Iphone because i’ve been using android phones for well over 10 years then when the iphone 13 came out i finally decided to go for it, switched from galaxy S10+ to Iphone 13 pro max, about 4 months in and i can say i really loved it, aside from not being able to download music for free and listen to it offline or download modded apk files my experience with ios has honestly been fantastic, also realised there’s no chat head bubble for messenger on ios which was something i pretty much use 24/7 but i can cope with it
Were you able to use Google apps with iOS?
Greetings from a stats major at UTSC. My Xiaomi was infected by a severe virus a month ago, then I switched to the iPhone 13, it's pretty efficient and easy to use. Finally, good luck with your study.
I have been switching back and forth from iOS and Android but ended up with iOS for consistency and tired of customising my phone after a while. But I do see the benefit of Android OS (unless you are fully integrated to Apple Ecosystem).
Google Assistant is much better than Siri and I use it on the Google Nest Hub and I have also installed the Google Assistant app on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. On Google Assistant, I really enjoy the speed of responses and the ability to set multiple timers that cab is named and unnamed. For example, I can say, "Hey Google, set a timer called cook for 15 minutes". However, I can set at most one timer using Siri. I agree with you 100% that widgets on iPhone are absolutely useless because they replaced something that was much more dynamic in nature. A widget is equivalent to clicking an app's icon. All the best on your finals and please do keep the videos coming.
Honestly as someone who always switched back and forth, I just think iPhones are consistent at hitting every spot a phone should be good at. Android phones are amazing but there is always like one thing each Android phone just can’t nail. Oneplus - camera/video quality, Samsung - battery life (under my experience) Pixel - I don’t like Google UI, I prefer One UI or OxygenOS.
iPhones also have a long list too lol...I used both for years, couple of years back it was about performance and iOS was best....iPhones horrible display with a notch, terrible notification, closed ecosystem....lacks alot of features.
Just what I was looking for. I wish I watched this before I ordered an iPhone 13 an hour ago. I hope I don't regret it.
The pro and con of iPhone is Apple's ecosystem. I love that everything works together, but I don't look forward to buying another MacBook one-day just to keep that up. Also, (about the two ecosystems) the iCloud interface doesn't stand up to Google Workspace at all.
I was an iPhone user from the OG iPhone to the iPhone 4, but I switched over to Android with Google's Galaxy Nexus by Samsung. I've mostly stuck with Google's Nexus and Pixel phones (trying out the HTC One series and a couple OnePlus phones), but last year I went with my first fully Samsung phone, the S21 Ultra. I don't know if I'd ever be able to go back to the iPhone. I switched over to Windows a few years after switching to Android, and I don't have any personal Apple products to pull my into the ecosystem. In fact, Windows plays very nice with Samsung, providing some of the same features you mentioned were benefits of the Apple ecosystem.
All in all, I think I'm likely an Android user for the foreseeable future.
Recently got a second hand Z Fold 3, trying to adapt myself to Android, as a 10 years old Apple user. Had to say Apple’s display, smoothness, and simplicity are really pleasant to the eyes, hoping Android does similar favours.
I switched to iPhone about 4 years ago and the biggest thing I miss from my old galaxy phone is the little LED light that shows missed texts, calls etc. I also hate that I can’t buy kindle books on the app and have to open Amazon to do it.
I wish they kept the little light. But I do like the edge lighting where the phone lights up colors on the edge of the phone and you can choose the color
1:52 I would hope dropping the phone on carpet, with or without a case would not result in any damage. Let's take it outside to the concrete and asphalt and then we can have a conversation.
Right. Rhino shield cases are great for drops outside though. The case she uses, not so great
Hi Ella! Agree with you regarding the navigation and everything. I previously used S20 FE and switched to iphone 12 pro just this year (I know its late). My conclusion is, except the video camera quality and airdrop of iPhone, S20FE gives totally better user interface ans experience! I kinda regret switching to iPhone :,)
Buy s22

S21 just got better with the release of android 12... and foldable phones are a game changer i will never go back to iphones ever again they just are not customizable enough.... macbooks are good i have one but i recently got the samsung galaxy book pro with 32 gbs ram and the processing power is crazy
I love both, but I always switch back to Apple because of iMessage. On android after a bit messages begin to slow down coming in on group messages , soooo annoying.

Moved over to a iPhone 11 a year and a half ago and decided i'm most likely going to be moving onto a Galaxy Z Flip 3 after it. I've liked the 11 but that Z Flip 3 has just intrigued me so much and i'm also keen to see what the S22 is like.

For me it was true. I wanted to give Apple a try for a year (11 pro max), then go back to Samsung. I got the Samsung Note 10+ and returned it after a week. I realized that I preferred to be treated as a customer rather than an admin. The things I thought I loved about android- I really didn’t care for anymore. I just want a clean, reliable, and secure experience. I didn’t need the bells and whistles that used to impress me.
I do miss some features like the pen with the note, and the free picture in picture with TH-cam.
But I can live without those. Airdrop, iMessage, Find My, and battery life make up for it.
@@Mimiscellaneous I decided to get a S22 Ultra just less than 2 months ago instead of the Z flip because they were doing such a good promo and trade in for my broken note 9, I've been enjoying it so far quite a bit especially since it's now a Snapdragon unit instead of an Exynos. I miss some things but overall I don't feel much regret of losing those features, probably because I used iMessage maybe twice in the year and a half I had the phone, and my airdrop was barely used too and 50% of the time it never actually work for me. So overall I'm quite happy with it but I still don't regret owning the iPhone 11, I've somewhat come to like both I guess.
It was really interesting hearing your perspective after being predominantly an android user.
I had gotten the s10+ for a few months but I just missed the iPhone after about half a year. I do really miss TH-cam pip; I know there was an announcement a while ago that it was coming to iOS users in America. I think it is still only for subscribers of TH-cam premium.
tbh, I don't think any android user manually transfers photos unless they need the high res raw file. Google Photos FTW!
The case drop on the carpet floor. I get it you don’t wanna damage your phone but nothing was gonna happen regardless lol. Enjoyed your review though! Keep up the good work.
Am a fully android fan for years most especially the samsung......Can u also do a video on the samsung eco- system please.....wanna know how samsung eco works too and if it worth sucked into samsung system fully
One feature that most of the time is overlooked in iOS is the build-in 2fa (2 factor authentication) generator. Once setup it will also be available on your Mac. And you don’t have to put the code in manually.
I don’t get why people like to stick to just one platform, taste the rainbow people, I used Android from 2012 to 2018 and iOS from 2018 current and I love both platforms both have their pros and cons.
Getting the iPhone 13 pro, really can’t wait! Such an improvement in the 13 lineup over the entire 12 lineup.
I also switched from android to ios this year. I am using android since 2012. It was weird in the beginning to use iOS. But got used to it. They have their own pros n cons.
dropping your phone on the carpet, yeah that was too dangerous!. I was shocked when I saw the phone surviving a one-meter drop on the carpet. you did the impossible. you saved your phone from a certain death
With having had a s21 ultra , I miss being able to customize everything but I love that I don’t have to worry about constantly having a charger on me!! With my i13 pro max , I love the quality of my photos, no blurriness ! I also love that it barely looses battery life. I do wish that there was a bit more customization but overall I’m very happy with the switch 😊
with iphone, if you create your own gestures, you can swipe from the sides like android.
Samsung devices can also sync with other Samsung devices. For example I can get calls, messages and notifications from my phone on my Galaxy Tab.
Exactly
Long time android user here. Switched to iPhone 12, 4 months ago just to try it out. Plan was to just have the one phone but I hated the iOS so much at the beginning, I decided to hold on to my android. Now I use both. Main Sim is in the android.
after years using android, i switched over to apple completely (w/ a macbook air, ipad, airpods, the whole shabang)... but after about two years with my iphone, for some reason i just don't like it anymore haha. i'm switching back to android in the new year for a couple reasons:
1) i only really use things like airdrop between my ipad and mac air, never really used those features with my iphone
2) the apple device line up just seem so bland to be now. new iphone every year, looks almost exactly liek the previous generation just with a better camera and refresh rate. this is the main reason i'm switching back to android for my cellphone use, i've had my eyes set on the new zflip 3 :O
3) also the restrictive storage space is ridiculous on apple products 😅
If u want to switch to android, it most likely shouldn't be a "still in beta" phone like the z flip 3, wait a few years and check reviews if u want to buy a foldable or a flip phone
I've never used airdrop because I sync everything on google drive lol.
lmaaaaoooo and i just watched your video about why you don't use an iphone from March 2021
that's how i stumbled on your channel because back then you said you reached 10k subs and now you have 125k lol
I used both android and ios before. Since i bought apple watch and airpods I now fully use ios simply for the efficient eco system. and definitely i miss some android functions but my taste in tech goes to apple 🍏
I’ve just changed to iphone 11 from s21U, and I really miss youtube vance, because watching youtube on IOS is quite annoying to me, but the seamless between their ecosystem is awesome
@@huychau7551 youtube vanced is gone
I'm also using both phones 😂
I have had an iphone for seven years . I recently got a Samsung Note 10 for a change . There is not a lot of difference . Same glass slab with gesture navigation. Just choose what you personally like .
True! I love how reliable Apple products are, even if I buy the cheapest available one.
yes, this is def a pro
iPhone ７ plus is starting to be less reliable over time
more than 20% of this video is an ad before youtbube's ads
I just switched to iOS (due to the cameras on the iPhone 13 Pro) I am still struggling a bit without the return button, trying to adapt to the "gesture" mode on the iOS.
swipe up to get home
swipe up and hold or swipe up in home to show tabs.
idk how to go back like an android back button since i havent gotten my iphone yet
u can watch a video how to use iphone X so yk gestures
Gestures r pretty much a must in any phone since the past couple years, many androids have it too
I've been a lifelong Android user and I'm currently considering switching to the iPhone so this video was a must watch and I will be switching to the iPhone, I also like the fact that you use Google nest products I do as well
samsung used the widgets many years back..Iphone just implemented it in ios 14. Both have their pros and cons.Iphone gadgets are more lasting and value for money.There was a period after Jobs passing on.Cook did not have the vision to maintain the vision and lost out to China and Korea in their 5G technology. I used both phones as i have a few lines.Iphone was primary the main line till iphone 11.I took the note 20 ultra. I will said that the ipone 13 have catch up...so is the M1 chip on ios and apple OS.
3:12 u can swipe down the bar thing of the iPhone to temporary enable reachibility
Did she just drop it on carpet?????
After many years Android I bought me a second hand IPhone 12 Pro Max. It takes a bit time to get used to it, but I love it. Did not use my old Android anymore since. But at the end, it is all about every personal preferences. For me, I stick to my Iphone12 Pro Max for a while.
Was this a permanent/semi-permanent switch, or just a switch for tech comparison? Curious to see if you plan to stick with the iPhone for the "long haul" Great vid btw!
I’ve been with iPhone since the iPhone 4. I’m now going to android. Multitasking being the biggest reason.
Thanks for your review. I cannot agree more with you on this. I was an iphone user since 6 came out and last year switched to Samsung Galaxy S20+ and I loved it. My last samsung was the S3 so you can imagine the difference I felt. Last month I switched back to iphone 13 (I'm still debating whether I should have bought the pro) and while I love how easy things get synced with my macbook and other apple devices, I'm still not ready to let my S20+ go. There are some apps that surprisingly work better on my samsung than on the iphone and the customization, gestures, gallery, etc. I think works better in the samsung. I miss having a separate folder for the camera roll or maybe is that I have not found how to have it on ios by default? I imported around 8K of photos that i had neatly organized in my samsung, but in the iphone all of them are in their folder and on recents! where my camera roll is as well so I'm very frustrated..... Anyways, I'm still not sure if I'll keep the iphone, I love it but I miss the other features my samsung has. At the end of the day I think I'll try to keep both.
i have switched to ip12 and regretted it,sold the phone to my sister and i'm back to android
I switched from s21 ultra to iPhone 13 and regretted it. Glad google fi is running a deal for $300 off s22 ultra plus they will give me $505 for my iPhone 13 mini. So, total of $805 of saving for just trading in my mini which I paid $699 for.
Apple is popular because of ads, but their software suck, and they are too lazy to improve it
Funny. Less than two months after making this video she switched BACK to Android!
So I just switched to iPhone last month and I could say that Android has much pros (for me) than ios. In Android, you can download Modded app versions while in ios, it’s forbidden. But for the Camera’s quality, iPhone has the best since I had Samsung j8 before I switched to ios. For storage, Android has the pro because of its flexibility, you can put memory card. But what I liked about ios was I was able to unlock the IG filters that are unable to use in Android 😆 Android’s batter lasts for almost 3 days while ios can only last around 12H to 1 day.
you can buy more icloud storage with ios too
What iphone did u switch to, cuz if u see a battery test for the iphone 13 pro max, constant light to medium to heavy usage, it can still last 9 to 10 hours
@@speedypopoff he switched from a low budget phone, they have great batteries
@@oliviaunderc0ver it also cost way more.
recently switch to ios for the 1st time i miss the gallery and my files of android its so hard with ios esp wen u have so many files and videos and songs everything is just easy on android
best wishes for your finals! It's true that the "return" gesture on android ends up being better than on iOS but yeah overall iOS feels like more polished
thank you!
i would have to agree with the 'best' part of apple ecosystem. 5 years of software guarantee on iPhone though is a huge difference - since apple cameras are already great, you will just need up-to-date software/updates over time. this saves you money as you wont need to upgrade too often.
Samsung Upgrades guaranteed for 3 years
Both iOS and Android have their advantage and disadvantage but I personally think that it depends on the type of person.
What about connecting to PC and transferring files?
great video! was wondering what it would be like switching from Samsung to Apple, and this came at just the right time. keep up the great work!!
i am coming from the galaxy s20 to the iphone 13 pro max.
i miseed google assistent so much. but if you install the app. make a shortcut out if it. and set it as a double or tripple tap. you can use it really easy.
After buying and using iPhone 13 for more than a month, I've realised that I miss a handful of Android features too much to really enjoy the iPhone. My next Phone will likely be a Pixel but not any other Android phone.
How about samsung
@@huychau7551 No. Too much bloatware and duplicate applications. I especially hate Galaxy Store that tries to install applications all the time. It is also less privacy-friendly. I am already agreeing to Google's tracking. Don't want another company to track on top of it.
FYI... if u have a samsung tablet and a samsung phone (like in my case) u have the "quick share" that is the same as airdrop..
Yes, but quick share takes almost twice as long to transfer then airdrop or nearby share
Iphones are really good phones, but I prefer samsung camera and gestures, so I think imma stay. Good video👍💛.
thank you so much!
i won't lie i was thinking of the MacBook Pro 14" a few minutes ago, remembered that Ella is doing a giveaway and wondering when the final video would drop, and this video notification popped up in some time. I'm not even kidding lol.
That was a pretty balanced review. Android offers too many choices and too many customizations for me to stay with Apple. I use a MacBook but my phone choice is Android. Love minimizing Google maps, TH-cam videos, always on display, having a back button or easy gestures when using gesture mode. I just wish Android companies did a better, longer job of supporting their devices.
I left the s21 ultra for iPhone 13 mini and I regret it. I thought since I have a Mac that it would be a good idea. I miss the Samsung. I’m getting the s22 ultra next month. I’ll continue to use the MacBook and use android for my phone.
@@Mdogbrown I would never switch to iPhone mini battery suck thou
I've been a Samsung user for many yes and decided to try Iphone 13 pro and after only a few days, I absolutely HATE IT!!!! So glad I get to go back to Samsung under my 14 day return policy with Xfinity Mobile...
Going from Android 12 on the pixel 5 to a temporary iPhone that was lent to me until I can fix my main phone has been a difficult adjustment! I'm not a big fan of the lack of aesthetic customization on iPhones and how the software feels a little slow and clunky with navigation, but overall my impression of the iPhone is that it's just kind of doing what it needs to do and not offering much more outside that essential experience
Ella - I agree with you on the Samsung ecosystem, but there is one thing that bothers me greatly. I can only access my previously downloaded itunes music if I subscribe to apple music. How can I get around this? Samsung does not have a good music player.
Made this switch myself recently. I was shocked at how the simplest features were missing on iOS.
Overall are you happy though, or will you be returning it?
@@frieza2235 overall I’m sticking to it because I’m ridiculously deep into the ecosystem now. I originally gave it a go because my AirPods (pro and standard) were behaving badly on my android phones. Now I have Apple Watch, MBP, AirTag, and soon iPad to go along with the phone and AirPods, I’m too far to turn back. Overall my satisfaction mostly comes from the integration with everything else rather than how well the phone works. Quick example of something android does that iPhone doesn’t:
You have your screen locked on portrait mode and you click on a video link and start watching the video, then decide that you’d like to go full screen.
On android, your screen will automatically go into landscape mode and fill the screen as you’d want it to.
On iPhone, when clicking the full screen button the phone will stay in portrait mode instead of changing to landscape and filling your screen with the video. In order to do this, you need to swipe down to controls and unlock the orientation button, then turn your phone and after you’re done, relock onto portrait.
Fine to do this once or twice but imagine that you watch many videos daily from plenty of sources. This does work on the TH-cam app but not on other places like Reddit for example.
@@VidVayder why not using shortcuts to turn off orientation lock when you open video apps???
@@TheMayMeow thanks for the tip! I assigned it to double back tap and it's probably the most convenient solution there will be. 😊
great video!! I was searching about this transition a long time
Glad it was helpful!
Great video Ella!! I was wondering if you could make a comparison video between the Airdrop function and the Samsung Dex. I never had an Iphone so it got me curious if both functions are similar
So your biggest plus for the iPhone is how well it works with all your other Apple devices but the ecosystem breaks down when you introduce an Android phone to it? Of course it does. The same can be said if you’re all in on the Samsung ecosystem and you throw an iPhone into the mix. Both ecosystem are darn near identical in experience when all your devices are from one or the other.
Hello Ella! Another nice video. I've always been an Android user. I had the first iPhone SE a year ago, which was/is really nice in size. I like the look of the new iPhones much better than the Android devices, but I'm not willing to spend 800-1000 EUR on a smartphone. That's why I'm sticking with Android. I currently have a Samsung A52s 5G and think it's great - just a bit too big. I hope that over the years smaller models will be offered again. I also love designing my home screen the way I want, testing launchers and the more open system in general. no hate! iPhone is just not in my price range and unfortunately not as easy to customize as Android.
You can download Google Assistant on iPhone. Just add the Google Assistant app to shortcuts turn off show when run. Rename it to Get Google. Ask Siri to get Google, it will then ask Google. Works for me.
One of the features I’m in love with is copying something on one device and pasting on another device. Super handy
this is one of my favorite feature, (or hand off when you can continue on app on 2nd device), but it's sad you have to be on Apple ecosystem (my main PC is with Windows), that's one of reasons why I still using Android phone (Yes copy paste between devices works on android too). If I'm wrong correct me...
the reason I subscribe is "why I use Samsung phone" video because u sound intentional about your choice. and this video doesn't change that impression
You dropped it on a carpet
Same here. Samsung user and wanting to try Iphone in the near future.
The worst thing about Apple for me is there's too much stupid restrictions.
i have been a long time android user and IOS has improved a lot since 5s era. gawd some functions like unsubscribing to app subs, tinkering settings is a pain on IOS like the display has a thousand separate menu options to tweek the settings. I am keeping both for now. I got a 13pm only because of work subsidy and s22 ultra is still not certified. Im not paying premium for a phone since theres like a sea of mid range android devices in the market that offers the same functions as IOS devices. Do not feel bad if u dont have an iphone, ur not missing out a lot.
Warning: selfies on iphones will reveal real skin texture hahah u have been lied a lot if uv been taking ur photos on an android with those very strong beauty filters
Biggest problem: They are freakin heavy! Even the smaller iPhone pro weighs 200g. Surprisingly even heavier than z flip 3 with all those hinges and components...
Since i've been enjoying using the new MacBook and iPad, i really want to switch my Galaxy to iPhone too, but the weight and the fact that it doesn't support apple pay in my country is what still holds me back :
Get the Mini.
@@musictheory4u153 ProMotion. Non pro iPhones don't have that. I won't switch to another 60hz phone. Feels laggy and outdated
@@mlkwy the 60hz on iphone is mighty fast for 60, but I get it, it would feel like a downgrade if u go back to 60 from 120, tho if u did want to get a mini get the 13
I've been using android since then. But I really like to try iphone. I want to see and experience the difference of the two.
One thing i can appreciate about iphones are the variety of accessories available.
If you have a windows PC, you can sync your android phone to your computer. Receiving calls and texts similar to iPhone.
I'm glad you talked about the navigation. For some reason no one who compares android to ios talks about this feature. Its a huge con for me, I'm so used to the easy to use gestures that work in every app. I really want to go back to ios, but thats a big annoyance for me.
As long as the android is fast and take good pictures I can live without an iPhone anyday:)
