The thing is, iPhone users aren’t misinformed about how better Android is. They just don’t care. They don’t consume tech videos because they aren’t passionate about tech. Some people buy iPhones to boost their social status, and to them that is a much more important feature than 90hz or foldable screens. Edit: To the people who are saying "thats not true, I am an iPhone user and care about tech", you are the exception. How do I know that ? Because every year a new iPhone sells more than an Android despite being the same phone, and NO ONE QUESTIONS IT. Because they don't care. They care more about Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, what their favourite drama TH-camr did, or what their favourite sports team are upto. They don't care about specs. We are living in hyper consumer culture where people constantly show off their new cars, new houses and new...iPhones. To flex. Do you think the average person is gonna think about specs and 90hz, or are they gonna be blinded by FOMO and a desire to flex back ? You guys telling me "nah, I'm passionate", we are in a tech channel. We are in an echo chamber. We are the exception.
I am an iPhone user and I love watching other vids of other tech and how Android gets many cool features I watch vids like that a lot I have an iPhone I see a lot of vids of creators who say iPhone users don't know a lot about the phone and says it works you can ask them about the camera and they won't know but I'm very informed these is not me arguing just what I know
I’m an iPhone user, I love tech consumption and IT. The issue is my family doesn’t, they don’t know the first thing outside of iMessage and iCloud. So it just makes things easier to share photos from a day trip, keep up to date in the group chat and have our locations with FindMy. If I had the income to daily drive an android and iPhone I absolutely would.
I am an iPhone user and I like watching tech videos and sure, I would love 120 hz, but it’s not like 60hz is an active problem. iPhone isn’t falling behind
I am a hardcore tech enthusiast and even started with Android on the HTC Hero and I still choose the iPhone as my primary because of how well rounded, stable and mature it is.

The most genius thing Samsung ever did was creating the fold and selling it at a premium price, the folding phone isn't the genius aspect but selling it at a premium price ended the discourse the android users were broke, rich people like to show off and Samsung gave them something new to do that with
@@tom_from_myspaceTVs, android phones, monitors, laptops, tablets/ iPads ect have 120hz displays. There is no excuse for an iPhone that costs $800 to not have a 120hz display, if I am paying a premium for a device, you bet I want premium features on that device.
@@tom_from_myspace They would care if they ever used a phone that actually has 120hz refresh rate and not smoothed animations that tries to imitate this
@@SzaraWydra Human eye cant see those refresh rates anyway so its just a placebo effect unless your phones other specs couldn't even make use of those 60hz and actually provided you with even less frames.
I feel the main factor why people still buy iPhones is due to the brand itself. iPhones are viewed as a luxury product because Apple is an established brand in the tech industry, and it has its own ecosystem (e.g. iOS)
As a person who use both bro shut the crap up iphone performance and camera are far better I only use my android for battery and watching free movies and songs😂😂😂
@@GamerBoy07282bruh. U dicks your own grave by saying that. Now vivo has better camera than iPhone.it can even do good videography. What's there to iPhone to flex.nothing. Honestly the only selling point for iPhone in my eyes is that how optimised their camera is for social media app. That's it.any person who invest in social media buying iPhone is a good investment.I won't blame.
istg if vivo gets more support in US and north America in general they will absolutely demolish all other brands with amazing pricing and competitive performance
Huawei only got banned because they were trying to sell their devices in the US via carriers, vivo does not sell like that so they aint getting banned anytime soon
@@alpacamale2909 Yeah but at the end the let Google do the ass kicking and besides Google is an American company is like letting Indian to eat Harley-Davidson's lunch in the motorcycle world to prevent better quality knock offs of Harley-Davidson from China to enter the US.
Meanwhile the Google Pixel is still considered a niche brand in the North American market. Yet while becoming mainstream, most north Americans still talk Apple or Samsung. TO be fair, if Samsung wasn't leading the charge with Android we probably wouldn't be having an Android at all until Google finally broke ground in building their own hardware/software division of building phones. Do note I carry both platforms (Pixel and iPhone) on a day to day basis. I can’t say I’m a fanboy of either but if you’re holding me at gunpoint I prefer iPhone since it syncs well with my desktop.
As someone who used to have an Android (Samsung) and now uses an iPhone, I must say the main reason I stick with the iPhone is its user-friendly interface and simple design, even down to the font. The smoothness of iOS is superb. I can easily switch from an app to the camera without hassle. While Android is great and offers many features, it also comes with a lot of unnecessary elements that take time to figure out. iOS stands out for its smooth user experience (UX) and straightforward, minimalistic user interface (UI).
iClassic is more of a retro Apple glazer, he doesn’t really say his opinion a lot on the relevant stuff. But yeah I guess that comes with putting the “i” in front of the channel name lol
Had the G6+. Great phone. You are 100% correct. The inconsistencies were ridiculous. I think that's why they called it day in that they realized that they weren't capable of being consistent and that the market wasn't really into being that innovative. Personally, I'm still not sure double screen sizes make sense. You know if they were still around making phones, they'd be all over it. And failing.
@@dlewis9760 I’m from Thailand. In my country, LG had been kicked in the balls since the G4 bootloop, then they scaled down their operation and after G5 flopped so hard, they were gone forever. That’s why we have no V series or later G series or the Wing here.
LG were inconsistent, but they made quality devices that were great. My G7 ThinQ lasted 6 years before I broke the screen and had to upgrade. Many people have similar stories. No slowdowns even after aging and the battery was still decent.
I dunno how can you compare the looks of a car to a flipping phone... And even then, every time a new car is released, it's interior is different, it's engine is different, there are a buttload of new features regarding everything they could think of improving. If you even want to compare Apple to a car brand, you should go for BMW - same design, same features, exorbitant prices, planned obsolescence it has all covered 😂
As someone who has both a Fold 6 and 15 Pro iPhone. Once you're stuck in Apples ecosystem, it's very hard to get out. FaceTime, iMessages, Airdrop, the ecosystem of apple is 100% easier to use than any Android ecosystem. iPhone just work. It took 3 hours to get my Android setup when on my iPhone there is very little tinkering or setup.
Fake news af, the Apple ecosystem has become more and more frustrating as time goes on. Apple's "safe approach" to simplicity is making their customization even harder to do. Switching to Android back in 2019 was refreshing to me. Setup was a bit complicated, but the customization was out of the world, to me at least. I now understand why most Android users claimed that they disliked the Apple ecosystem a lot. Although, most who hated iPhones are generally ones that bark at the wrong tree. I, myself, never hated iPhone's hardware, just their software iOS that I've developed a personal hatred for. It seems that the lack of the "Back Button" would drive Android users crazy. And I didn't believe it myself until I tried it with my first Android phone, and I can't look back at iOS the same way anymore. The back button is literally a requirement for easy navigation. Who could've thought that one single feature could make a difference in people's favors. If there's anyone that's too blissfully ignorant, it's iPhone users. They're missing a whole lot of things Android users are already experiencing.
Nobody uses imessage and facetime outside of the US bro and it doesn't even take that long to set up your android phone. Just a few minutes is enough, and you're good to go.
@@StormDiperLol. I remember iphone users mocking Android users who love rearrange their apps on the home screen a long time ago. The Close All Apps button will be introduced as an innovation in future models.
We don’t need that tho. It costs more resources for the phone to reopen each app than leaving them in the background, for ram management to take care of
As a user of both platforms, It’s funny to see the statement “Apple is falling behind in hardware and software design” when just this year alone Google’s Pixel 9 lineup’s updated design looks eerily similar to the iPhone’s design while One Ui 7’s beta is clearly showing its iOS inspirations. Stagnant, “samey”, “not innovative enough” or not, the iPhone remains the benchmark for the Smartphone industry. Just look at all the Chinese OEM’s UIs: Colors OS , Hyper OS, Origin OS, Funtouch OS etc, - it’s easy to see where the base inspiration originates from. Heck I freaking love my X200 Pro (my personal phone of the year) but I can’t deny that it’s camera app is a copy paste job of the iPhone camera UI just with added features 😅
He didn't say that apple is falling behind in software, he said it's falling behind in hardware, customization and AI features Yes AI and customization are part of software but software isn't all about those In other aspects of software Apple's better
@@doboy930its falling behind in innovation. And the software is unlike back then, the implementation of new features is not the best or not as refined (inconsistency on back gesture for example). Which is the thing that make apple, apple.
@ but once again these are not things that the average iPhone user cares about. So if your average customer doesn’t care about it is it really falling behind?? I switched from android to iPhone in 2017 and the back button thing is not an issue for me and it’s not an issue for most ppl. So falling behind in something like software is opinion based not factual
Every phone , wherever wo , Looks the same. Nothing to innovate now. That's why they are pushing AI. Some designs , processor it's just better a little each year( wo need more power than a processor that have 2 years old? Almost no one) 80% of users use a phone to social media .so wo needs a processor that runs pc games? Heatimg the phone? Kill the battery fast? For me it's just a preference, not because Samsung are better than apple , or other way around. Both have good cameras to almost all users, battery it's too old technology that they use ( except honor , really good work with that 6000 battery that use the same space as a 5000 and it's more durable) . China phones are the future, wo really innovates .
Samsung still can't figure out which sms application to use, they have two SMS applications, two photo apps, two calendars, and used to have two virtual assistants. So don't compare them to Apple.
@@HassanAlkuldhithis tbh. The discourse presented here just makes phone enthusiasts look lame. The reality is that the only hardware consumer facing innovations, that matter, in recent times has come from Nvidia and Apple’s transition to the M series. Anything else has just been irrelevant.
Being an iPhone user since the first release I have recently left their ecosystem for android and it’s so much better in many ways. Apples innovation has fall so far behind
Really? it's the opposite in the first world. People who like to show off usually have the Ultra, Fold or Pixel Pro XL. iPhones are ubiquitous and everywhere that people just use them and share the content within it.
As an Apple user, it comes down to preference. My iPhone 15 pro dies everything I need it to, and I love how iOS feels. Phones don’t need to be upgraded every year, and when we see phones these days, they look similar to the one before. The S22-S24 ultras look literally exactly the same. At the end of the day use what you want, and that’s all that matters.
I think one big problem here that's being ignored is the fact that most people buying Android phones too are not buying those $200 phones. I've gone between iOS and Android over the years and, if it's Android, it's going to be a Samsung, or a Pixel. Other flagship brands sure, but these phones are more or less $1000 class phones just the same. One thing I think is massively important that has not been considered by the Android crowd is longevity of support. iOS updates are more or less pushed to any iPhone model from the last 6 years or so whereas Android end-of-life was often encroaching at 2.5 to 3 years or so. Quality of life points like that are definitely a strong point of iOS and, while Google did make new promises for 7 years of guaranteed updates, I'd sooner wait and see after another 1-2 years to get an idea of how much they really commit to that, given how much they've backtracked and reneged on prior promises (e.g. Android automatic upgrade program cancelled within months of first update cycle).
I can understand higher refresh rates, usable file management, more customization, fast charging, etc but I have never understood the "the phone chasis hasn't changed". Why does it need to change? It's a nice and iconic look. This is coming from someone who has used an iPhone here and there but ultimately prefers (high-end) Android phones.
I really like the iPhone’s design, it looks professional, but I HATE the stainless steel on my iPhone 14 Pro. It’s so glossy and has fingerprints all over it even after washing hands.
@@narrativeless404 I agree which is why I liked my previous phone, a OnePlus 7 Pro, so much. I remember when it came out many reviewers were saying the pop-up camera mechanism would fail but in 6 years, it never caused any problem.
@@Techsnowball Your point is that all iPhones are the same makes more e-waste (which makes no sense at all), with your logic, Samsung would also be making a large amount of e-waste, and all the other android brands too.
In the united stated good luck with that. You have the choice between samsung or pixel or half ass oneplus. All of which have only had significant design changes to the back. @@Techsnowball
I think it's because the iPhone was known for supposedly having a good camera and taking some of the best pictures, and taking pictures with the size of social media is important 😶

IPhone and Android user here. Switched my main phone from Android to iOS 3 years ago when i bought 13 Pro, now on 16 Pro Max. I still use Android daily, i even root and install custom ROM’s on my devices. Android it’s good for what it is, iOS it’s good for what it is. Simple. Why it’s iPhone my main device? Consistency and ecosystem. I might have less functionality and less gimmicks compared to Android but i know everything will work perfectly between my iPhone, 2 iPads, one Apple Watch and one Macbook. Thanks Microsoft for ruining Windows BTW. Also with Apple device you will get in time updates at least 5 years. But agree with low end devices. You will get a better experience with a device like OnePlus Nord 4.
Exactly this! It’s consistent and reliable and the ecosystem has added alot of productivity in my life. During my teens and early twenties, i did enjoy the flashy gimmicks that android has to offer. But now? Apple is so good for my professional and personal life and keeping everything managed!
@@GamingPIPI around 10 years ago i was flashing a new ROM on my Android on a daily basis. Now i don’t even change my wallpaper so often. My homescreen looks 90% how it was looking 6 years ago on my LG G6. My personal story it’s like that. Main Android user, Xiaomi, LG G6, then a second phone was needed so i bought an iPhone SE second hand, then upgraded to OnePlus 7 Pro, my second phone in use today. I was impressed by SE getting updates even after 4 years. Meanwhile on the tablets hated Samsung because bad experience with Touchwiz so i bought my first iPad, Mini 6 and that slowly got me in the ecosystem. Not going to lie, i liked 13 Pro design a lot so made the switch. Around 3 years ago got myself a 12.9 M1 iPad Pro and somehow i get a free Samsung S9 Ultra last year with a TV promotion. Somehow 5 years iPad it’s superior compared to 4 years newer similar priced Samsung tablet and the whole experience it’s ruined by Samsung software like 10 years ago, amazing screen but pretty much that’s it. I might install a new ROM on it at some stage. So my migration to iOS/iPadOS/Apple devices in general wasn’t an uninformed decision like some people said in the comments. Was more like an maturity and settling of myself. Back to my OnePlus 7 Pro that’s in use today as second phone it still holds up but that’s because of the community. Amazing hardware neglected by the manufacturer, pretty much the same story with most of the Android brands. You can DIY but with trade offs like bricking your device, loosing features like banking apps, bugs, etc. Damn that was a long comment. 😂
@ Same for me! I’ve had so many android phones and testing out the features was fun. But now I change my wallpaper maybe once or twice a year. The only times I change things up is for productivity. I made shortcuts, I made a system for my calendar, notes and reminders… I also have the full ecosystem! Slowly I added devices to my household. It just works so great for my productivity. Ipad Pro is my newest device, and it’s amazing. I use it for media consumption and reading and annotating literature for my job. It’s just such a great experience. Android may offer some of the same features, but it is definately not as userfriendly and it’s a hassle to set it all up. Apple products work together straight out of the box. Many people just don’t understand how great this is. And the best part is that now that im older i probably wont feel the need to be upgrading every year. So now that my productivity system has settled, im good for year to come. Most of my devices will be supported until 2030 and beyond. Although I may buy a new iPad and watch somewhere before 2030.
@@GamingPIPI the only Android device i like at the moment it’s the last Redmagic, 10 Pro+ but i don’t have enough excuses to replace my OnePlus 7 Pro. For what i use it’s still doing the job. 😁 For productivity without any hassle Apple it’s still the best. Before switching to a Macbook i always had a dual boot Windows and some linux distro, usually LinuxMint or Ubuntu. Same like phones, using a traditional PC you might get better price, specs but you will never get the perfect out of the box experience. Just setting up Windows it’s a nightmare. Actually Windows itself it’s a nightmare. 😂 At the end of the day it’s a free choice for everyone and still don’t understand the hate between each “teams”. We are the customers, competition it’s good for us.
iphone users arguing that iphones are not using the top of the line charging speed for longevity of the phone would be acceptable if they can keep themselves from upgrading to a new one each year which i believe is imposible
I bought one after owning a huawei i love my iphone so much I like how thick it is and how I feel it in my hand. I got the Pro for the features I needed. It feels so premium and is a massive upgrade. only complainers are the people who got an iphone recently and upgraded. It charges fast enough for me
The one time they pushed smth out before it was perfect and look at the backlash, no one is buying 16because of its new features because it’s next to none and only has Apple intel (but that’s not even out yet), the only people buying 16 rn are the apple absolute loyalist that’s upgrading just to say they have the latest iPhone 😬
@letsdoodlesomethinghome3404 Apple Intelligence wasn't the only thing. Their wireless charging was pretty shit when it came out. Still is, to be honest, but magsafe makes it on par with the industry.
Apple branding is just different levels. Biggest brand image in the world for any industry. They can release a phone that doesn't even charge, people will still buy it.
One thing that piss me off about Chinese brands is that they rely on the fast charger to cover up less-than-desired battery times and the bad battery optimization of their Android skins. iPhone 16 Pro Max battery lasts almost 2 days. Good luck achieving that with anything lower than 6000 mah battery on an Android.
I have a 12 pro max 3600mha the battery lasts 2-3 days this is crazy 😂 iOS is good if all android offers is useless to you which is to me I need my phone to do phone stuff and be reliable.
@@Techsnowball Damn you're aggressive can't you accept iPhones have some pros too lmao A good pro max with good battery % will last 2-3 days of 5-7h of light screentime, it's a common experience for many users. Battery management on iOs is pretty good.
@@Techsnowball Yeah this is the mature answer. The one before was a bit rude, telling the other dude he just uses his phone for 30 minutes lmao classic android elitist behavior tbh
Why do people still buy iPhone? Three main reasons: 1. They're lured by the cachet of owning an iPhone. There is no cachet in owning a Samsung or Pixel phone. 2. They like the cohesive ecosystem (Mac, iPad, iPhone, Watch, AirPod, etc.). 3. They like the Apple Store and Customer Service. These make for a great shopping experience. They don't need nor care about the latest bells and whistles. The iPhone provides the same basic functions they've enjoyed for over a decade (calling, texting, email, web surfing, music listening, watching videos, running apps, taking pictures/videos). The iPhone has performed these functions satisfactorily since forever. If you didn't have an issue with 60Hz in the iPhone X in 2017, why would you have an issue today? For most iPhone users, this is not an issue.
True, I have an iPhone 13. I love how it's boring, has less distractions , it works well too. Boring can be good . I also own an all bells and whistles android, which is great too . 60hz doesn't bother me
I have a friend who use Iphone and he urges me to change to iphone, i told him "no". he gave a puzzled look and like asked why. I using Samsung and i am happy due to good cameras and battery life. He smirk and move on. Weeks later, he kept asking me for a portable battery, i was like "whyyy?" He said his iphone ran out of battery, i hand over my portable battery and said "That strange, my samsung left like 50 percent despite using whole day. And rarely use my portable charger, how lucky i didn't get iphone. lol" he gone speechless
I have a pro max 16 and the battery is easy 2 days and I run a restaurant and cafe plus social media for 2 businesses. It's untouchable... but I could care less what anyone wants to believe. I took my phone off the charger at 4:40am and at 12:54pm it's at 85% after heavy usage. What else do you even need...
@HesseBlanco that's great, I think he was using iPhone 13 pro backed then. Wat I trying to say is that. What the video is also trying to say. Apple has been doing same stuff over again, and people will still buy it and giving peer pressure to follow their "trend" or felt like a cult sometime, even my sister and my nephew and nieces, they are dying fan of apple. I used iPhone in the past, sure the UI is great but syncing to my PC is a pretty bad and constant asking me for username and password is super annoying, which is why I change to Android and felt I can do alot of things. But I think apple fixed that but still i doesnt want to change back. I love photography and videos especially i love to zoom in particular subject with compromising much clarity, i attend meetings and concerts so I need those stuff. I did my research, apparently iPhone is still not my choice as other phone like Vivo X200 camera are advance somehow.
When the first iPhone came out we already had multiple touchscreen based phones running Windows Mobile. Nokia's were out there but the iPhone was also a refinement of what was already being made even then. Windows Mobile was essentially a reskinned version of WinCE that wasn't optimized for touch and it was clunky. Each phone maker built their own skins over it to make it somewhat usable. The first iPhone streamlined the whole thing and didn't even support 3G even though all those other phones actually did. The didn't even pioneer capacitive touch. A bunch of phones already had that before the iPhone was even out.
In my opinion what Samsung and everybody else did wrong is to give their phone much longer support. In Germany where I live, there were different Smartphone Users like Samsung User, iPhone user or even Windows Phone User. But besides the fact that iPhone are sadly a status product, their luckily also known for their long support. I remember Samsungs only being supported for 2 years and then only Safety Updates. I had 3 different Samsung Phones. The S4,S6 and S9. Every single Phone sometimes frustrated me how laggy and buggy it was. After 2 Years my Samsung Phone was way too laggy and thats why I decided to try a complete different product which was the iPhone. Now I have the iPhone for 4 Years and Im not rly thinking about buying a new one and its still getting new iOS updates. Even the XS jü(a Phone from I think 2018) got iOS 18. Just now where everyone is slowly moving to iPhone and Apple Products in general, Samsung, Google and everyone else just started extending their support on their devices for much more years than before. Right now Apple convinced me so much with their products and stability, that I really integrated in their ecosystem. But still its very important that Apple gets strong rivals so they dont sleep in their innovations. I mean the iPhone 16 was really a joke and if this is not getting better, then I cant support this company anymore.
iPhones aren't just "beginning to fall behind android". They've been behind for over 10 years. There's so much tech that iPhones just got recently that android have had since the early 2010s. Like Oled screens for example.
@@nocte_dieque And android had it since like 2013. Which isxl like 20 years in tech year. And iPhone only had it on promax the $1,000 phone didn't they? Wonder why
@ “Android” lmao. Samsung has featured OLED on all of their Galaxy S devices since 2010. A lot of these early OLED displays suffered burn-in because that’s just what normal people do to their phones. It would only be sensible to wait for the technology to mature if you’re not building with bleeding-edge tech, or if your target demographic is effectively the median voter.
This channel is putting out fire. Love it. Great mix of nostalgia and new. No crazy weird into. Straight to the video. Nice editing. Subscribed. More retro stuff like "Were old phones better?".
I have the feeling the USB-C Port is much more flimsy than the old Apple design. That little thin wall in the middle of the receiving end is going to break, just like it did in USB Mini
@jankwartel1860 me either. But my last 2 iphones the cables always broke near the part what charges the phone, because the the cheap material. Now it's much better
I have had a ps5 and xbox series x controller, and I drop them ALOT their type c ports have never had an issue, I have not had an issue with type c connectors ever in my 8 years of using them...there is a reason the apple chargers had a type c to lightening connector and macbooks came exclusively with type c connectors
I always turn off any kind of ai assistants and whatever else in my phone. I have 0 clue why tech companies chase ai, literally nobody uses that. If you want to get help from ai you use dedicated services for that.
Oh really.. Hark, a curious request doth arrive, a playful twist upon the tongue of old. Pray tell, what merriment dost thou seek, with words of yore in whimsical array?

I was an avid iPhone user between 2016 and late 2023, I decided to give Android a shot as I didn’t want to support Apple rereleasing the same device every year. I switched 3 Android phones in 1 year, S23 Plus, Pixel 8 Pro and Flip Z 6 and oh boy where do I start. All of these phones were “fine”, but they ridiculously make simple things harder. I despise the volume sliders on Android as I seriously do not need 5 volume sliders, just give me media and the possibility of muting notifications. The fact that my girlfriend’s 15 Pro Max would connect to Android accessories easier than me was just sad. You have to adjust 5 adaptive options in the Pixel to stop it from nuking your battery. Fingerprint sensors are ok (I had optical, supersonic and physical), but in no way can they compare to face ID. Android having “better customisation” possibilities is just a straight up lie. No lock screen widgets, changing individual icons requires adridden third party apps and launchers and don’t get me started on tinted icons that don’t apply to half of your apps. Samsung was better than Pixel as Pixel was just a straight up mess. Horrible cameras, unnatural menus and settings. My Pixel had issues updatint to Android 15 as it would get stuck on verifying data. People on the internet claimed that was normal… Why would that be normal? I had to do a clean install afterwards cause no alternative update options could just update my device without wiping it. Both Samsung and Pixel are horrible when it comes to autofilling verification codes. Samsung has an identity crysis in offering either their services or google services and at some point you don’t even know anymore where you data is saved. So I just recently switched back to iPhone 16 Plus and life became that much easier. Am I a fan of Apple being lazy? No, but if I am paying a premium device, I want it to WORK FLAWLESSLY. The resell value of android flagships is laughable. No way I’m paying ever 800 - 1000 EUR again for a phone that sells for 300 EUR a year later.
Brodie did not actually try customising very hard 💀 lock screen widgets are something you can get from like 45 different apps. And yeah, you need apps and icon packs from the app store to get better customization. Something apple does not offer at all 🤧. Sounds like you got unlucky, I went from an a13 to an a34 to an s24u and have never had those issues. Personally my phones have always worked flawlessly, especially the s24u I have never seen it lag ever. Stuff like customising home screen, and modes and s pen and 45w charging and better batteries matter more to me than a simple ui with no options for personalising my phone should I actually want them. And I think you've done alot wrong when using it somehow, my buds pair seamlessly and none of the UI besides the settings app is complicated or excessive.
Let's break down a few key points: 1. 60 Hz One one side: yes, why does a $800 dollar phone have 60 Hz, what the heck Apple! But if you look at another perspective: 60 Hz? Thank goodness the iPhone costs $800 instead of $850. I don't think is a big deal, I've had a 120 Hz Android before and when I switched back to an iPhone 12 mini, I did feel a difference but it's very easy to get used to and after a while you just don't care. 2. Lightning Port Now, Apple did this to make a lot of money, and thankfully this horrible lightning port is gone now. However, this video is about "Apple falling behind" and USB-C is certainly not "falling behind". Why is this included? 3. Notch/Dynamic Island This is hard to say because Face ID on iPhone's are the best out there on the market and the most secure, and this notch was required to get all the modules in place. Now, we have a smaller notch that is actually functional (called the Dynamic Island), so on this key point Apple definitely has an advantage over Android. 4. Apple is always late Quality over quanity. That's all it is. I've had several Androids before from all price ranges and a lot of the features feel rushed out. 5. iPhone's are boring Now, I don't know why this is even a "valid point". Because a phone originated from being a way to send and receive texts and call. So obviously if a phone does this correctly, then it is a good phone. On another side, phones can be fun, but Apple doesn't create toys, but reliable devices to make your daily life better. I've had several Android's before and always bragged to everyone: "Haha, my Android can add special animations to my lockscreen!" and stuff like that. But I just never ended up using any of these features. It's cool, but only the first few times you try it.
I don't like iPhones because the OS is too crippled, but the 120hz "problem" isn't a problem at all. My Sony can do 120hz but it means taking a 20% hit to battery life. Since I didn't buy my phone to play competitive shooter games, I'm fine with 60hz.
120hz is just stupid to have on a phone or any device. All my devices at home can do 120hz, exluding 144hz on tablet, 165hz on my G sync monitor, but I don't use anything besides 75hz, because it's pointless to use. But then again it's nice to have this option and other phone companies adding it just reinforces that option as being great to have, even if the user will never use it.
The huge issue isn’t that it isn’t a problem to you. The issue is Apple is selling an 800 dollar phone with only 60 hz, when for the same price, literally every other phone would have had 120-144hz.
@@chargedx5768It actually does make a huge difference regardless. It overall feels much smoother when you have 120 hz, whether is gaming, or just simply even scrolling.
@@dislikebot it does not feel smoother though, the differnce can only be seen on a highspeed camera..the human eyes cant tell the difference in scrolling unless its in a video game
I feel like they're waiting for 2027 to make a massive change, as it'll be the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, like how the iPhone X was the 10th anniversary and the first major redesign since the iPhone 6
please explain to me how the iPhone video was so good, including stabilization and behavior in low light. It is still the case that you can take photos with an Android phone, but none of these phones records such a smooth and pleasantly stable video. When it comes to such photos and videos, iPhone usually offers good and controlled photo quality and very good video quality. It is still one of the few phones that can record 4k/50/60 fps and switch between lenses.
yep...blah blah blah blah..i wonder why people with samsung and xaiomi always ask me why my pictures from iphone 11 are better then theirs...and why i don't need to buy a new phone because their shit phones broke...🙂🤣🤣
yeah nah. my samsung from 3 years ago can film 8K while the very latest iphones can't. My samsung form 3 years ago has a 50 MEGAPIXEL front camera while the iphone's is 12mp like brother eeuuugghhhh 🤮🤮
@ It's not. Apple's Pro Motion is far more advanced. Samsung's is also variable to a small degree but apple's is much more precise. It goes from 1 to 120hz on iPhone 14 Pro or newer and 10 to 120hz on 13 Pro
That difference is that samsung and all the other android brands have been smashing the iphones in terms of specs for many years now, sometimes at even cheaper prices

Say that to my one plus 7 pro. Still smooth... You know that was a problem long time ago . When a android just start to lag after 2 years . Not anymore the case .
From someone who has used android for over a year now, and switched to iPhone, I can explain this: Let’s be honest now, the android has many features that iPhones doesn’t have but the software itself (for some people including me) is simple and people don’t find it modern, as for the iPhone they find the iOS software more of a modern type of phone which is why people still buy it, for example the amount of stuff in android on the top (battery, data, time) it has a lot, as for the iPhone keep it more modern and only puts data battery WiFi and time (there’s more stuff android put) not only that but the shades in the app compared to the simple app logos of android, obviously android has betters features and stuff, while IPhone users, yes they might flexed off but they just don’t care about the features, they care about the modern and elegant iOS software they have
Apple has built a great ecosystem with quality software and hardware. Despite falling behind on creative designs, their phones are usually better built than most android phones out there. That can be seen yearly when people compare their benchmarks against other phones. Honestly, I think it’s the friendly ecosystem and deans less integration that keeps most people still glued to Apple.
Absolutely! Not to mention the value-added services. Apple TV offers some fantastic content, and Apple Music delivers superior sound quality compared to Spotify, thanks to its spatial audio feature. iPhone users enjoy an integrated experience that extends beyond their devices, a level of cohesion that Android lacks
Silly little snow boy, the iPhone has been the Gold Standard of the smartphone market for 17 years for a reason and will continue to be! It's easy to criticize Apple but in the end, there is only one company that has made the most successful product in history and that's Apple with the iPhone!
I was an iPhone user for 12 years, then switched to Android and I will not go back anytime soon. Apple has no innovations right now, a way too high price for what they offer and iPhone charging speed is absolutely awful. Don't get me wrong, I was a huge Apple fan and still like their design and quality, but so many other brands have caught up to Apple and even surpassed them in certain things and that for a lower price.
If there's one thing Apple does right though is that they still have a cohesive looking experience. With Android they have better hardware and everything these days but they have one of the least cohesive looking softwares. Android 12 was a step in the right direction but it's been years now and applications still don't all look like they have been designed for the operating system. With Apple though all their apps follow the same design language.
I also can’t hear somebody complain about the notch when androids barely even have functioning face id, like yeah you have a punch out but you can’t use your phone when it’s dark 💀
One "innovation" Apple implemented but eventually taken away was the pressure sensitive screen called the 3D touch. However, any attempts to make it a weighing scale were removed. I believe it was stuck with the iPhone very long until they finally removed it in the iPhone 11.
the main reason i have an iphone is because on every android i've used the front camera makes you look super greasy and crunchy whenever you film outside the default camera app - like you've lived in a basement your whole life, as well as making my white skin look a strange beige colour. "just film in the camera app!" now why should i even need to do that
If I choose iPhone it’s my personal choice I have my own reasons just like if you buy a galaxy or an oppo or Sony it’s the phone you chose. This whole mines better than yours nonsense really needs to stop are we in kindergarten….
Back when Androids had removable batteries and swappable SD Ram cards you couldn't get me to use an iPhone, but now that I can no longer swap out the battery on an Android or easily swap or add SD Ram there is no longer any reason to use an Android other than the price. The fact that iPhone do not come with all this uninstallable 3rd party bloatware that varies from manufacturer to manufacturer is why I switched to using iPhones. I don't need to reconfigure a phone every time I get a new one, I just turn it on and use it.
The main thing about iOS is their longevity with OS and Updates. Its only recently that Android phones are promising to provide updates for 5+ years, and that we’ll have to see how it goes.
And that depends on who is making the phone with Android... Samsung vs TCL vs Motorola vs Blu View vs Noka vs HMD vs Pixel... Some phones give you crippled versions of Android.. Often they download bloatware without your permission or even spyware. Some might never update to the lastest Android version, which in itself is decided by the manufactuers.. With Apple, you know exactly what you are getting and they operate all the same.
This! It’s mostly teens and adolescents that get excited about gimmicky phones. iPhone is just extremely reliable. It would be a mistake to follow the Android philosophy
@@GamingPIPI iPhones are just a cult at this point, android is so much easier to use and much more useful, if you use an iPhone your either incredibly old, or a teenager who wants to fit in with all their friends and starts hating on you're friends who suddenly get green bubbles in the group chat because they switched to a different brand.
@@GamingPIPI okay? I really don't care, I've had not a lot of sleep and I can't be arsed to type 'proper" English because I am on the internet and no one really bothers to use 'interpunction'
@@GamingPIPI iPhones are not extremely reliable, they are just as reliable as every other android flagship on the market. There's no difference other then the software, the cameras are similar, the performance is similar and the specs are similar. The only way this does not apply is when you look at mid tier to low end phones like the A55, A35 ect. However when talking about iOS and apple, you should also be comparing iOS and apple to Android and high end smartphones like the S24 ultra, 24 plus and S24, Pixel 9, pixel 9 pro, pixel 9 pro XL ect.
My brother has note s21 ultra and now bought 16 pro. He used iphone before samsung. Now, in iphone he was trying to find gesture mode. Then i tried as well, we could do something that can go back. And in my $300 samsung from 2021, i can now enable 36 gesture actions from one hand gesture, and 120 gesture actions from ubikitouch. Besides, quick cursor also has gesture, but as it was not with finger, i didn't count. People are simple user. They don’t need much. Iphone gives them that comfort. But enthusiastic like us would never satisfy with their backdated phn. Everyone entered folding phone, meanwhile iphone still on, "it is an iphone" age.
I consider it as Apple is able to do with 6/8 gigs of ram and 60 hertz displays what android phones need 90-120 hertz displays and 12/16 gigs of ram to do, I always considered it better engineering. For example, the iPhone 16 plus has 8 gigs of ram, 60 hertz displays, and 48 megapixel cameras and its still faster, can keep more apps open and do more in the background, and has better cameras than the s24 Ultra with 12 gigs of ram, 120 hertz displays, and 200 megapixel cameras.
@@FATHOLLYWOODB123everything. Lol. Even my second phone ( nothing phone 2a are more smooth than a iPhone 16 plus ) that don't means nothing it's more powerful.. but just more animations smooth. But if I try to play genshin I can forget. The chip don't handle. But animations its very smooth.
@FATHOLLYWOODB123 That Apples 6GB ram is comparable to other fast 8GB/12GB RAM and that Apples "magic display" 60hz is the same as 90 and 120hz. But if you want to lie to yourself then you can do that I don't have time for smt like this. Apples LCD also is better than others OLED displays huh?
Funny thing about most comments here is that it's rare to find an Android user who owns the latest Android device whine about an iPhone or how dumb their customers are... because they've recently been to the store and checked what's new and chose what they preferred. It's like how people with normal speced PCs will go around saying: "Gaming on a PC is better than on a Console", while knowing very well that their PC is not the one they are referring to because they can't run the latest games. After 8years on the Apple ecosystem, I can tell you that Apple sells practicality and convenience, that's why a lot of TH-camrs use Macs for video editing or even why big companies that runs heavy software are using Macs. I really enjoy my A55 5G along with the Galaxy Watch 6 but if you thought everyone who owns an iPhone has been "brainwashed", think harder because, for one, Macs do not get viruses, unlike Windows PCs and that alone is enough to get someone to buy an iPhone and an iPad as well just to make their life easier.
Saying Macs can't get a virus is insane. It's still a computer that can be attacked by malware. Large businesses also use Windows. Matter of fact it's easier to have Windows since it's less expensive to license and infinitely easier to repair.
@@SuperSteph5 it is a computer after... anything can happen but there's a difference between your computer being attacked because you clicked a link from an unknown source and your PC getting a blue screen of death for absolutely nothing you did. Windows PC costs do look cheaper but they are not, Windows PCs requires constant maintenance, repair and upgrade, while on the other hand, Macs don't, unless if it due to negligence. I know people who uses M1 Macbooks who are still getting better performance than most people who are using something that was released this year. Of course, there might be few reported cases of "infection", but you know very well, that Macs are solid... we can argue this the whole day, but businesses are definitely getting value for money
@@Tom_Nguyen. doing a factory reset just because a relative went out of their way to install something that was never meant to be on the Mac does not make Macs fragile. Ways a Mac can be broken are always due to user's actions, like phishing attacks where someone clicked a link they were not supposed to or adware. Windows PC just get a blue screen from just sitting idle for a month or slow, they get annoyingly slow week after week until you reboot or do a cleanup, there's just a lot of things that goes wrong on a WIndows PC for absolutely no reason or action taken by the owner. Your relative's reset are an exception, not the rule. If you know PCs as well as you think you do, you should know that. After all, there's a reason why Apple does not sell operating systems, the way Microsoft do... because you won't need to have to manually fix a broken software, unless you weren't out of your way to break something.
I don’t view iPhone as a “luxury item that boosts one’s self image”. Maybe it was the case many years ago. To me, it’s just a phone that I can pick up and it works really well. And I know it’s not spying on me (or as much as android phones do). The Mail app is so much better than the Gmail app that comes with android phones. I can see the text. And I don’t care about the refresh rate. I have had every Note Ultra until 20 and some S series after that. None of them work, in a sense that they don’t feel “finished”. They are half baked, and need to be taken back and re-done.
I still use the iPhone XR. The camera is still impressive, although it’s only one lens (I have my Lumix and Canon for more serious recreational photography). The operating system is updated to the latest, thus compatible with newer iPhones. Many people around me have iPhones, so the convenience of Airdrop and other Apple ecosystems is very beneficial. Speaking of ecosystems, I have an iPad Pro and iMac and Mac Mini. They work together seamlessly. I’m an electronics engineer by profession, so I am into and well aware of technology. I don’t need all the bells and whistles for a gadget that, in the end, is utilitarian.
Take note, Samsung. You're starting to fall into complacency too.

The thing is, iPhone users aren’t misinformed about how better Android is. They just don’t care. They don’t consume tech videos because they aren’t passionate about tech. Some people buy iPhones to boost their social status, and to them that is a much more important feature than 90hz or foldable screens.
Edit: To the people who are saying "thats not true, I am an iPhone user and care about tech", you are the exception. How do I know that ? Because every year a new iPhone sells more than an Android despite being the same phone, and NO ONE QUESTIONS IT. Because they don't care. They care more about Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, what their favourite drama TH-camr did, or what their favourite sports team are upto. They don't care about specs. We are living in hyper consumer culture where people constantly show off their new cars, new houses and new...iPhones. To flex. Do you think the average person is gonna think about specs and 90hz, or are they gonna be blinded by FOMO and a desire to flex back ? You guys telling me "nah, I'm passionate", we are in a tech channel. We are in an echo chamber. We are the exception.
I am an iPhone user and I love watching other vids of other tech and how Android gets many cool features I watch vids like that a lot I have an iPhone I see a lot of vids of creators who say iPhone users don't know a lot about the phone and says it works you can ask them about the camera and they won't know but I'm very informed these is not me arguing just what I know

LG was the very good example of someone who is on crack all the time, but hardly have any consistencies if at all. Still love my good old G3 though.
Had the G6+. Great phone. You are 100% correct. The inconsistencies were ridiculous. I think that's why they called it day in that they realized that they weren't capable of being consistent and that the market wasn't really into being that innovative. Personally, I'm still not sure double screen sizes make sense. You know if they were still around making phones, they'd be all over it. And failing.
@@dlewis9760 I’m from Thailand. In my country, LG had been kicked in the balls since the G4 bootloop, then they scaled down their operation and after G5 flopped so hard, they were gone forever. That’s why we have no V series or later G series or the Wing here.
LG were inconsistent, but they made quality devices that were great. My G7 ThinQ lasted 6 years before I broke the screen and had to upgrade. Many people have similar stories. No slowdowns even after aging and the battery was still decent.

As someone who has both a Fold 6 and 15 Pro iPhone. Once you're stuck in Apples ecosystem, it's very hard to get out. FaceTime, iMessages, Airdrop, the ecosystem of apple is 100% easier to use than any Android ecosystem. iPhone just work. It took 3 hours to get my Android setup when on my iPhone there is very little tinkering or setup.
Not really I had iPhone 11, 13, 15 pro max I decided to switch back to android because it was crap anyways and a scummy company
Fake news af, the Apple ecosystem has become more and more frustrating as time goes on. Apple's "safe approach" to simplicity is making their customization even harder to do. Switching to Android back in 2019 was refreshing to me. Setup was a bit complicated, but the customization was out of the world, to me at least. I now understand why most Android users claimed that they disliked the Apple ecosystem a lot. Although, most who hated iPhones are generally ones that bark at the wrong tree. I, myself, never hated iPhone's hardware, just their software iOS that I've developed a personal hatred for.
It seems that the lack of the "Back Button" would drive Android users crazy. And I didn't believe it myself until I tried it with my first Android phone, and I can't look back at iOS the same way anymore. The back button is literally a requirement for easy navigation. Who could've thought that one single feature could make a difference in people's favors. If there's anyone that's too blissfully ignorant, it's iPhone users. They're missing a whole lot of things Android users are already experiencing.

As a user of both platforms, It’s funny to see the statement “Apple is falling behind in hardware and software design” when just this year alone Google’s Pixel 9 lineup’s updated design looks eerily similar to the iPhone’s design while One Ui 7’s beta is clearly showing its iOS inspirations. Stagnant, “samey”, “not innovative enough” or not, the iPhone remains the benchmark for the Smartphone industry. Just look at all the Chinese OEM’s UIs: Colors OS , Hyper OS, Origin OS, Funtouch OS etc, - it’s easy to see where the base inspiration originates from. Heck I freaking love my X200 Pro (my personal phone of the year) but I can’t deny that it’s camera app is a copy paste job of the iPhone camera UI just with added features 😅

80% of users use a phone to social media .so wo needs a processor that runs pc games? Heatimg the phone? Kill the battery fast?
For me it's just a preference, not because Samsung are better than apple , or other way around. Both have good cameras to almost all users, battery it's too old technology that they use ( except honor , really good work with that 6000 battery that use the same space as a 5000 and it's more durable) .

@@HassanAlkuldhithis tbh. The discourse presented here just makes phone enthusiasts look lame.
The reality is that the only hardware consumer facing innovations, that matter, in recent times has come from Nvidia and Apple’s transition to the M series. Anything else has just been irrelevant.

As an Apple user, it comes down to preference. My iPhone 15 pro dies everything I need it to, and I love how iOS feels. Phones don’t need to be upgraded every year, and when we see phones these days, they look similar to the one before. The S22-S24 ultras look literally exactly the same. At the end of the day use what you want, and that’s all that matters.
I think one big problem here that's being ignored is the fact that most people buying Android phones too are not buying those $200 phones. I've gone between iOS and Android over the years and, if it's Android, it's going to be a Samsung, or a Pixel. Other flagship brands sure, but these phones are more or less $1000 class phones just the same.
One thing I think is massively important that has not been considered by the Android crowd is longevity of support. iOS updates are more or less pushed to any iPhone model from the last 6 years or so whereas Android end-of-life was often encroaching at 2.5 to 3 years or so. Quality of life points like that are definitely a strong point of iOS and, while Google did make new promises for 7 years of guaranteed updates, I'd sooner wait and see after another 1-2 years to get an idea of how much they really commit to that, given how much they've backtracked and reneged on prior promises (e.g. Android automatic upgrade program cancelled within months of first update cycle).
I can understand higher refresh rates, usable file management, more customization, fast charging, etc but I have never understood the "the phone chasis hasn't changed". Why does it need to change? It's a nice and iconic look. This is coming from someone who has used an iPhone here and there but ultimately prefers (high-end) Android phones.
Actually the ideal look for a phone is for all of the front of it to be just the screen
That ugly camera cut out just takes out some of the picture

Software support? You can install any android you want. Whenever you desire. Waiting for updates from manufacturer is an apple user way of thinking.
IPhone and Android user here. Switched my main phone from Android to iOS 3 years ago when i bought 13 Pro, now on 16 Pro Max. I still use Android daily, i even root and install custom ROM’s on my devices. Android it’s good for what it is, iOS it’s good for what it is. Simple. Why it’s iPhone my main device? Consistency and ecosystem. I might have less functionality and less gimmicks compared to Android but i know everything will work perfectly between my iPhone, 2 iPads, one Apple Watch and one Macbook. Thanks Microsoft for ruining Windows BTW.
Also with Apple device you will get in time updates at least 5 years.
But agree with low end devices. You will get a better experience with a device like OnePlus Nord 4.
Exactly this! It’s consistent and reliable and the ecosystem has added alot of productivity in my life. During my teens and early twenties, i did enjoy the flashy gimmicks that android has to offer. But now? Apple is so good for my professional and personal life and keeping everything managed!
@@GamingPIPI around 10 years ago i was flashing a new ROM on my Android on a daily basis. Now i don’t even change my wallpaper so often. My homescreen looks 90% how it was looking 6 years ago on my LG G6. My personal story it’s like that. Main Android user, Xiaomi, LG G6, then a second phone was needed so i bought an iPhone SE second hand, then upgraded to OnePlus 7 Pro, my second phone in use today. I was impressed by SE getting updates even after 4 years. Meanwhile on the tablets hated Samsung because bad experience with Touchwiz so i bought my first iPad, Mini 6 and that slowly got me in the ecosystem. Not going to lie, i liked 13 Pro design a lot so made the switch. Around 3 years ago got myself a 12.9 M1 iPad Pro and somehow i get a free Samsung S9 Ultra last year with a TV promotion. Somehow 5 years iPad it’s superior compared to 4 years newer similar priced Samsung tablet and the whole experience it’s ruined by Samsung software like 10 years ago, amazing screen but pretty much that’s it. I might install a new ROM on it at some stage.
So my migration to iOS/iPadOS/Apple devices in general wasn’t an uninformed decision like some people said in the comments. Was more like an maturity and settling of myself.
Back to my OnePlus 7 Pro that’s in use today as second phone it still holds up but that’s because of the community. Amazing hardware neglected by the manufacturer, pretty much the same story with most of the Android brands. You can DIY but with trade offs like bricking your device, loosing features like banking apps, bugs, etc.
Damn that was a long comment. 😂
@ Same for me! I’ve had so many android phones and testing out the features was fun. But now I change my wallpaper maybe once or twice a year. The only times I change things up is for productivity. I made shortcuts, I made a system for my calendar, notes and reminders… I also have the full ecosystem! Slowly I added devices to my household. It just works so great for my productivity. Ipad Pro is my newest device, and it’s amazing. I use it for media consumption and reading and annotating literature for my job. It’s just such a great experience. Android may offer some of the same features, but it is definately not as userfriendly and it’s a hassle to set it all up. Apple products work together straight out of the box. Many people just don’t understand how great this is. And the best part is that now that im older i probably wont feel the need to be upgrading every year. So now that my productivity system has settled, im good for year to come. Most of my devices will be supported until 2030 and beyond. Although I may buy a new iPad and watch somewhere before 2030.
@@GamingPIPI the only Android device i like at the moment it’s the last Redmagic, 10 Pro+ but i don’t have enough excuses to replace my OnePlus 7 Pro. For what i use it’s still doing the job. 😁
For productivity without any hassle Apple it’s still the best. Before switching to a Macbook i always had a dual boot Windows and some linux distro, usually LinuxMint or Ubuntu. Same like phones, using a traditional PC you might get better price, specs but you will never get the perfect out of the box experience. Just setting up Windows it’s a nightmare. Actually Windows itself it’s a nightmare. 😂
At the end of the day it’s a free choice for everyone and still don’t understand the hate between each “teams”. We are the customers, competition it’s good for us.
iphone users arguing that iphones are not using the top of the line charging speed for longevity of the phone would be acceptable if they can keep themselves from upgrading to a new one each year which i believe is imposible
Except iPhone battery longevity isn't even good. Have you seen how quickly the battery health drops on those things?

Apple branding is just different levels. Biggest brand image in the world for any industry. They can release a phone that doesn't even charge, people will still buy it.
One thing that piss me off about Chinese brands is that they rely on the fast charger to cover up less-than-desired battery times and the bad battery optimization of their Android skins.

Good luck achieving that with anything lower than 6000 mah battery on an Android.

Why do people still buy iPhone? Three main reasons:
1. They're lured by the cachet of owning an iPhone. There is no cachet in owning a Samsung or Pixel phone.
2. They like the cohesive ecosystem (Mac, iPad, iPhone, Watch, AirPod, etc.).
3. They like the Apple Store and Customer Service. These make for a great shopping experience.
They don't need nor care about the latest bells and whistles. The iPhone provides the same basic functions they've enjoyed for over a decade (calling, texting, email, web surfing, music listening, watching videos, running apps, taking pictures/videos). The iPhone has performed these functions satisfactorily since forever.
If you didn't have an issue with 60Hz in the iPhone X in 2017, why would you have an issue today? For most iPhone users, this is not an issue.
True, I have an iPhone 13. I love how it's boring, has less distractions , it works well too. Boring can be good . I also own an all bells and whistles android, which is great too . 60hz doesn't bother me

He smirk and move on. Weeks later, he kept asking me for a portable battery, i was like "whyyy?" He said his iphone ran out of battery, i hand over my portable battery and said "That strange, my samsung left like 50 percent despite using whole day. And rarely use my portable charger, how lucky i didn't get iphone. lol" he gone speechless
I have a pro max 16 and the battery is easy 2 days and I run a restaurant and cafe plus social media for 2 businesses. It's untouchable... but I could care less what anyone wants to believe. I took my phone off the charger at 4:40am and at 12:54pm it's at 85% after heavy usage. What else do you even need...
@HesseBlanco that's great, I think he was using iPhone 13 pro backed then. Wat I trying to say is that. What the video is also trying to say. Apple has been doing same stuff over again, and people will still buy it and giving peer pressure to follow their "trend" or felt like a cult sometime, even my sister and my nephew and nieces, they are dying fan of apple. I used iPhone in the past, sure the UI is great but syncing to my PC is a pretty bad and constant asking me for username and password is super annoying, which is why I change to Android and felt I can do alot of things. But I think apple fixed that but still i doesnt want to change back. I love photography and videos especially i love to zoom in particular subject with compromising much clarity, i attend meetings and concerts so I need those stuff. I did my research, apparently iPhone is still not my choice as other phone like Vivo X200 camera are advance somehow.
Who knows, Apple might just surprise us. Looking back 18 years ago, who would have thought Apple would make smartphones and be so good at it.
When the first iPhone came out we already had multiple touchscreen based phones running Windows Mobile. Nokia's were out there but the iPhone was also a refinement of what was already being made even then. Windows Mobile was essentially a reskinned version of WinCE that wasn't optimized for touch and it was clunky. Each phone maker built their own skins over it to make it somewhat usable. The first iPhone streamlined the whole thing and didn't even support 3G even though all those other phones actually did.
The didn't even pioneer capacitive touch. A bunch of phones already had that before the iPhone was even out.
In my opinion what Samsung and everybody else did wrong is to give their phone much longer support. In Germany where I live, there were different Smartphone Users like Samsung User, iPhone user or even Windows Phone User. But besides the fact that iPhone are sadly a status product, their luckily also known for their long support. I remember Samsungs only being supported for 2 years and then only Safety Updates. I had 3 different Samsung Phones. The S4,S6 and S9. Every single Phone sometimes frustrated me how laggy and buggy it was. After 2 Years my Samsung Phone was way too laggy and thats why I decided to try a complete different product which was the iPhone. Now I have the iPhone for 4 Years and Im not rly thinking about buying a new one and its still getting new iOS updates. Even the XS jü(a Phone from I think 2018) got iOS 18. Just now where everyone is slowly moving to iPhone and Apple Products in general, Samsung, Google and everyone else just started extending their support on their devices for much more years than before. Right now Apple convinced me so much with their products and stability, that I really integrated in their ecosystem. But still its very important that Apple gets strong rivals so they dont sleep in their innovations. I mean the iPhone 16 was really a joke and if this is not getting better, then I cant support this company anymore.
iPhones aren't just "beginning to fall behind android". They've been behind for over 10 years. There's so much tech that iPhones just got recently that android have had since the early 2010s. Like Oled screens for example.

I can use it to write an essay or anything I want.
I was an avid iPhone user between 2016 and late 2023, I decided to give Android a shot as I didn’t want to support Apple rereleasing the same device every year. I switched 3 Android phones in 1 year, S23 Plus, Pixel 8 Pro and Flip Z 6 and oh boy where do I start. All of these phones were “fine”, but they ridiculously make simple things harder. I despise the volume sliders on Android as I seriously do not need 5 volume sliders, just give me media and the possibility of muting notifications. The fact that my girlfriend’s 15 Pro Max would connect to Android accessories easier than me was just sad. You have to adjust 5 adaptive options in the Pixel to stop it from nuking your battery. Fingerprint sensors are ok (I had optical, supersonic and physical), but in no way can they compare to face ID. Android having “better customisation” possibilities is just a straight up lie. No lock screen widgets, changing individual icons requires adridden third party apps and launchers and don’t get me started on tinted icons that don’t apply to half of your apps. Samsung was better than Pixel as Pixel was just a straight up mess. Horrible cameras, unnatural menus and settings. My Pixel had issues updatint to Android 15 as it would get stuck on verifying data. People on the internet claimed that was normal… Why would that be normal? I had to do a clean install afterwards cause no alternative update options could just update my device without wiping it. Both Samsung and Pixel are horrible when it comes to autofilling verification codes. Samsung has an identity crysis in offering either their services or google services and at some point you don’t even know anymore where you data is saved. So I just recently switched back to iPhone 16 Plus and life became that much easier. Am I a fan of Apple being lazy? No, but if I am paying a premium device, I want it to WORK FLAWLESSLY. The resell value of android flagships is laughable. No way I’m paying ever 800 - 1000 EUR again for a phone that sells for 300 EUR a year later.
Brodie did not actually try customising very hard 💀 lock screen widgets are something you can get from like 45 different apps.
And yeah, you need apps and icon packs from the app store to get better customization. Something apple does not offer at all 🤧.
Sounds like you got unlucky, I went from an a13 to an a34 to an s24u and have never had those issues. Personally my phones have always worked flawlessly, especially the s24u I have never seen it lag ever. Stuff like customising home screen, and modes and s pen and 45w charging and better batteries matter more to me than a simple ui with no options for personalising my phone should I actually want them.
And I think you've done alot wrong when using it somehow, my buds pair seamlessly and none of the UI besides the settings app is complicated or excessive.
Exactly how I think. Plus excellent eco system.
Absolutely love your video. detailed, engaging, and compelling.
thanks!!
0:19 the most infuriating example was not switching to usb-c in 2019
Let's break down a few key points:
1. 60 Hz
One one side: yes, why does a $800 dollar phone have 60 Hz, what the heck Apple! But if you look at another perspective: 60 Hz? Thank goodness the iPhone costs $800 instead of $850. I don't think is a big deal, I've had a 120 Hz Android before and when I switched back to an iPhone 12 mini, I did feel a difference but it's very easy to get used to and after a while you just don't care.
2. Lightning Port
Now, Apple did this to make a lot of money, and thankfully this horrible lightning port is gone now. However, this video is about "Apple falling behind" and USB-C is certainly not "falling behind". Why is this included?
3. Notch/Dynamic Island
This is hard to say because Face ID on iPhone's are the best out there on the market and the most secure, and this notch was required to get all the modules in place. Now, we have a smaller notch that is actually functional (called the Dynamic Island), so on this key point Apple definitely has an advantage over Android.
4. Apple is always late
Quality over quanity. That's all it is. I've had several Androids before from all price ranges and a lot of the features feel rushed out.
5. iPhone's are boring
Now, I don't know why this is even a "valid point". Because a phone originated from being a way to send and receive texts and call. So obviously if a phone does this correctly, then it is a good phone. On another side, phones can be fun, but Apple doesn't create toys, but reliable devices to make your daily life better. I've had several Android's before and always bragged to everyone: "Haha, my Android can add special animations to my lockscreen!" and stuff like that. But I just never ended up using any of these features. It's cool, but only the first few times you try it.
iPhone didn't even have OLED screens until 2017. And comparing the 6S to an LG G4 is just honestly pathetic lol

I don't like iPhones because the OS is too crippled, but the 120hz "problem" isn't a problem at all. My Sony can do 120hz but it means taking a 20% hit to battery life. Since I didn't buy my phone to play competitive shooter games, I'm fine with 60hz.
120hz is just stupid to have on a phone or any device. All my devices at home can do 120hz, exluding 144hz on tablet, 165hz on my G sync monitor, but I don't use anything besides 75hz, because it's pointless to use. But then again it's nice to have this option and other phone companies adding it just reinforces that option as being great to have, even if the user will never use it.
not only that but MAJORITY of people only use their phones for social media...if you are not gaming on your phone then you do not care about fps
The huge issue isn’t that it isn’t a problem to you. The issue is Apple is selling an 800 dollar phone with only 60 hz, when for the same price, literally every other phone would have had 120-144hz.
@@chargedx5768It actually does make a huge difference regardless. It overall feels much smoother when you have 120 hz, whether is gaming, or just simply even scrolling.

I refuse to listen to anyone complain about apples design when the Samsung phones have looked the exact same for just as long…
That difference is that samsung and all the other android brands have been smashing the iphones in terms of specs for many years now, sometimes at even cheaper prices
@@faythang2513 How exactly? The iPhone performs just as well if not better than any flagship you can throw at it, higher numbers don’t mean anything when your OS isn’t optimized
@@faythang2513 hur dur specs better argument died a long time ago. Doesnt mean shit when apple silicon still performs well compared to its "higher spec" rivals. The M series chips in their ipads and macbooks are further proof. the amount of seethe and cope from tech nerds that a macbook air with in house chip with no active cooling was beating whole desktop setups worth much more tells you alot
@@thealtergopretty sure he's talking about the features samsung had over iPhone not the performance
@@Bruce_Black samsungs OS is pretty well optimised however the best android optimised experience comes from google, their pixel ui is so god damn optimised
It's mostly teenage girls and young adult women who buy them (or receive them). They don't care if there are cheaper and better alternatives as long as they have the shiniest and newest brick and it takes good enough selfies for their social media.
Wow. Firstly, the humor is on point. I like it a lot. Secondly, your explanations are perfect. Well done. Lastly, you pointed out so many things big time tech reviewers don't seem to realize, know or understand. LOLs.
thank you bro
Short answer: Because Iphones make you look more rich and usually gets more attention.
You should see how impressed people are with my four year old iPhone SE2. Just pulling it out gets me to the front of the line at all the clubs.

I have a S21, this is silly. If you are in the Mac ecosystem, you most likely stay in it with watches, tablets and phones. They are used to the way the things run, nothing wrong with that.
Bro iphone has better quality.. my iphone 13pro still runs smooth as day 1 when i bought it even after 3.5 yrs
Say that to my one plus 7 pro. Still smooth... You know that was a problem long time ago . When a android just start to lag after 2 years . Not anymore the case .

that's every decent phone

From someone who has used android for over a year now, and switched to iPhone, I can explain this: Let’s be honest now, the android has many features that iPhones doesn’t have but the software itself (for some people including me) is simple and people don’t find it modern, as for the iPhone they find the iOS software more of a modern type of phone which is why people still buy it, for example the amount of stuff in android on the top (battery, data, time) it has a lot, as for the iPhone keep it more modern and only puts data battery WiFi and time (there’s more stuff android put) not only that but the shades in the app compared to the simple app logos of android, obviously android has betters features and stuff, while IPhone users, yes they might flexed off but they just don’t care about the features, they care about the modern and elegant iOS software they have
This was an excellent video. Thank you😊

Apple has built a great ecosystem with quality software and hardware. Despite falling behind on creative designs, their phones are usually better built than most android phones out there. That can be seen yearly when people compare their benchmarks against other phones.
Honestly, I think it’s the friendly ecosystem and deans less integration that keeps most people still glued to Apple.
Absolutely! Not to mention the value-added services. Apple TV offers some fantastic content, and Apple Music delivers superior sound quality compared to Spotify, thanks to its spatial audio feature. iPhone users enjoy an integrated experience that extends beyond their devices, a level of cohesion that Android lacks
Cry with eco system
@@AponTechymore like cry without ecosystem. It is the greatest thing for staying organized and productive
@GamingPIPI Android has thousands time better eco systems..not just locked to a specific brand

Silly little snow boy, the iPhone has been the Gold Standard of the smartphone market for 17 years for a reason and will continue to be! It's easy to criticize Apple but in the end, there is only one company that has made the most successful product in history and that's Apple with the iPhone!
I was an iPhone user for 12 years, then switched to Android and I will not go back anytime soon. Apple has no innovations right now, a way too high price for what they offer and iPhone charging speed is absolutely awful. Don't get me wrong, I was a huge Apple fan and still like their design and quality, but so many other brands have caught up to Apple and even surpassed them in certain things and that for a lower price.
If there's one thing Apple does right though is that they still have a cohesive looking experience. With Android they have better hardware and everything these days but they have one of the least cohesive looking softwares. Android 12 was a step in the right direction but it's been years now and applications still don't all look like they have been designed for the operating system. With Apple though all their apps follow the same design language.

Got my Pixel 9 today! Love it
Nice 👍
I also can’t hear somebody complain about the notch when androids barely even have functioning face id, like yeah you have a punch out but you can’t use your phone when it’s dark 💀
Jokes on u my IQOO Z9s pro can unlock in less than a second and the face id still works in the dark.
@nubaidhussain4082it’s 2d face recognition but iPhones have much more advanced 3d Face ID
fingerprint is more practical ,apple only removed it so they can reduce cost of production
Because of iphone’s simplicity and class.
One "innovation" Apple implemented but eventually taken away was the pressure sensitive screen called the 3D touch. However, any attempts to make it a weighing scale were removed. I believe it was stuck with the iPhone very long until they finally removed it in the iPhone 11.
the main reason i have an iphone is because on every android i've used the front camera makes you look super greasy and crunchy whenever you film outside the default camera app - like you've lived in a basement your whole life, as well as making my white skin look a strange beige colour. "just film in the camera app!" now why should i even need to do that
What people need to stop doing is looking at people with android and assuming they are poor and their phones are from 2013.
Fr. Here in Nigeria, if you ain't using an iPhone, it's either a Samsung or you're broke. Especially to the girls, holy!

Android more expensive than iphones
android is more expensive than apple in some cases. s24 anyone
If I choose iPhone it’s my personal choice I have my own reasons just like if you buy a galaxy or an oppo or Sony it’s the phone you chose. This whole mines better than yours nonsense really needs to stop are we in kindergarten….
Back when Androids had removable batteries and swappable SD Ram cards you couldn't get me to use an iPhone, but now that I can no longer swap out the battery on an Android or easily swap or add SD Ram there is no longer any reason to use an Android other than the price. The fact that iPhone do not come with all this uninstallable 3rd party bloatware that varies from manufacturer to manufacturer is why I switched to using iPhones. I don't need to reconfigure a phone every time I get a new one, I just turn it on and use it.
The main thing about iOS is their longevity with OS and Updates.
Its only recently that Android phones are promising to provide updates for 5+ years, and that we’ll have to see how it goes.
And that depends on who is making the phone with Android... Samsung vs TCL vs Motorola vs Blu View vs Noka vs HMD vs Pixel... Some phones give you crippled versions of Android.. Often they download bloatware without your permission or even spyware. Some might never update to the lastest Android version, which in itself is decided by the manufactuers.. With Apple, you know exactly what you are getting and they operate all the same.
But my question is.... will that camera button retain forever or will it be removed in next generation?
With Apple's reputation I highly doubt they would remove it any time soon.
they start tweaking 0:59

People just don't want headaches of choosing from so many android options. Also iphone is good for a very long run.
what many? in US u only have a few options
I see why people pick android but it’s a phone bro I use it for everyday tasks not to take over a government or something so I’m sticking with iphone
This! It’s mostly teens and adolescents that get excited about gimmicky phones. iPhone is just extremely reliable. It would be a mistake to follow the Android philosophy
@@GamingPIPI iPhones are just a cult at this point, android is so much easier to use and much more useful, if you use an iPhone your either incredibly old, or a teenager who wants to fit in with all their friends and starts hating on you're friends who suddenly get green bubbles in the group chat because they switched to a different brand.
@ instead of worrying about smartphones you should invest some time in learning how to use interpunction.
@@GamingPIPI okay? I really don't care, I've had not a lot of sleep and I can't be arsed to type 'proper" English because I am on the internet and no one really bothers to use 'interpunction'
@@GamingPIPI iPhones are not extremely reliable, they are just as reliable as every other android flagship on the market. There's no difference other then the software, the cameras are similar, the performance is similar and the specs are similar. The only way this does not apply is when you look at mid tier to low end phones like the A55, A35 ect. However when talking about iOS and apple, you should also be comparing iOS and apple to Android and high end smartphones like the S24 ultra, 24 plus and S24, Pixel 9, pixel 9 pro, pixel 9 pro XL ect.
2:09 fair, but isn’t that basically the same thing with the galaxy phones?
My brother has note s21 ultra and now bought 16 pro. He used iphone before samsung. Now, in iphone he was trying to find gesture mode. Then i tried as well, we could do something that can go back. And in my $300 samsung from 2021, i can now enable 36 gesture actions from one hand gesture, and 120 gesture actions from ubikitouch. Besides, quick cursor also has gesture, but as it was not with finger, i didn't count.
People are simple user. They don’t need much. Iphone gives them that comfort. But enthusiastic like us would never satisfy with their backdated phn. Everyone entered folding phone, meanwhile iphone still on, "it is an iphone" age.
I consider it as Apple is able to do with 6/8 gigs of ram and 60 hertz displays what android phones need 90-120 hertz displays and 12/16 gigs of ram to do, I always considered it better engineering.
For example, the iPhone 16 plus has 8 gigs of ram, 60 hertz displays, and 48 megapixel cameras and its still faster, can keep more apps open and do more in the background, and has better cameras than the s24 Ultra with 12 gigs of ram, 120 hertz displays, and 200 megapixel cameras.
That's a lot of random and also false claims. What are your sources "trust me bro"?
@ which part of my statement is incorrect?
It's camera still got beat by Huawei Pura 70 Ultra (50 and 40 MP sensor) though
@@FATHOLLYWOODB123everything. Lol. Even my second phone ( nothing phone 2a are more smooth than a iPhone 16 plus ) that don't means nothing it's more powerful.. but just more animations smooth. But if I try to play genshin I can forget. The chip don't handle. But animations its very smooth.
@FATHOLLYWOODB123 That Apples 6GB ram is comparable to other fast 8GB/12GB RAM and that Apples "magic display" 60hz is the same as 90 and 120hz. But if you want to lie to yourself then you can do that I don't have time for smt like this. Apples LCD also is better than others OLED displays huh?
Funny thing about most comments here is that it's rare to find an Android user who owns the latest Android device whine about an iPhone or how dumb their customers are... because they've recently been to the store and checked what's new and chose what they preferred.
It's like how people with normal speced PCs will go around saying: "Gaming on a PC is better than on a Console", while knowing very well that their PC is not the one they are referring to because they can't run the latest games.
After 8years on the Apple ecosystem, I can tell you that Apple sells practicality and convenience, that's why a lot of TH-camrs use Macs for video editing or even why big companies that runs heavy software are using Macs.
I really enjoy my A55 5G along with the Galaxy Watch 6 but if you thought everyone who owns an iPhone has been "brainwashed", think harder because, for one, Macs do not get viruses, unlike Windows PCs and that alone is enough to get someone to buy an iPhone and an iPad as well just to make their life easier.
Saying Macs can't get a virus is insane. It's still a computer that can be attacked by malware. Large businesses also use Windows. Matter of fact it's easier to have Windows since it's less expensive to license and infinitely easier to repair.
"Macs do not get viruses "
As someone who factory reseted a macbook air 2019 2 times for my relatives :"ok fanboy, you know best"
"Macs do not get viruses, unlike Windows PCs" for this alone I would ban you from commenting ever again, spreading misinformation
@@SuperSteph5 it is a computer after... anything can happen but there's a difference between your computer being attacked because you clicked a link from an unknown source and your PC getting a blue screen of death for absolutely nothing you did.
Windows PC costs do look cheaper but they are not, Windows PCs requires constant maintenance, repair and upgrade, while on the other hand, Macs don't, unless if it due to negligence. I know people who uses M1 Macbooks who are still getting better performance than most people who are using something that was released this year.
Of course, there might be few reported cases of "infection", but you know very well, that Macs are solid... we can argue this the whole day, but businesses are definitely getting value for money
@@Tom_Nguyen. doing a factory reset just because a relative went out of their way to install something that was never meant to be on the Mac does not make Macs fragile.
Ways a Mac can be broken are always due to user's actions, like phishing attacks where someone clicked a link they were not supposed to or adware. Windows PC just get a blue screen from just sitting idle for a month or slow, they get annoyingly slow week after week until you reboot or do a cleanup, there's just a lot of things that goes wrong on a WIndows PC for absolutely no reason or action taken by the owner.
Your relative's reset are an exception, not the rule. If you know PCs as well as you think you do, you should know that.
After all, there's a reason why Apple does not sell operating systems, the way Microsoft do... because you won't need to have to manually fix a broken software, unless you weren't out of your way to break something.
I don’t view iPhone as a “luxury item that boosts one’s self image”. Maybe it was the case many years ago. To me, it’s just a phone that I can pick up and it works really well. And I know it’s not spying on me (or as much as android phones do). The Mail app is so much better than the Gmail app that comes with android phones. I can see the text. And I don’t care about the refresh rate. I have had every Note Ultra until 20 and some S series after that. None of them work, in a sense that they don’t feel “finished”. They are half baked, and need to be taken back and re-done.
I still use the iPhone XR. The camera is still impressive, although it’s only one lens (I have my Lumix and Canon for more serious recreational photography). The operating system is updated to the latest, thus compatible with newer iPhones. Many people around me have iPhones, so the convenience of Airdrop and other Apple ecosystems is very beneficial. Speaking of ecosystems, I have an iPad Pro and iMac and Mac Mini. They work together seamlessly. I’m an electronics engineer by profession, so I am into and well aware of technology. I don’t need all the bells and whistles for a gadget that, in the end, is utilitarian.
