@@PeteMatheson Apple for a Macbook and a desktop. Samsung or google for phone and watch (i already use a Samsung galaxy watch 6 and S24 ultra) iPad for Tablet, and airpods for earbuds (i already have airpods pro 2s)
@PeteMatheson The Apple watch needs to look like a watch. Not some fitness tracker. No band can dress that design up. If they do, then that's the only product I'd consider.
I use a windows laptop, an ipad and an Android phone in my daily life. I also make sure the apps and accessories I use are on multiple platforms. I don't have brand loyalty, just buy best products based on my needs and budget at the time of purchase.
Until recently, m range MacBooks were objectively better than Intel or AMD laptops, but Microsoft is catching up with Qualcomm ARM chips, it will be interesting to see in the next few years.
Windows Laptop, Oppo Smartphone, Samsung Tablet, Garmin Watch, Huawei Earbuds, Samsung TV. Simply buying the cheapest product of those that fulfill my expectations and as long as It's Windows and Android (which always was the case so far) I can be pretty certain that everything works fine together without any issues whilst giving nearly full access to each of the unique features. Ps: (Ik Huawei isn't Android anymore, the earphones do work perfectly with Android nevertheless [in contrast to Air pods, which, as far as I heard and read, don't offer full accessibility unless you have an iPhone.. that's Apple ig)
The thing is when people talk about ecosystems like these they don't care about their dryer, washing machines or fridges being smart. It's a cool feature IF you want to use it, but I don't know a single person who went out to buy any of these with the requirement that they fit well into their preferred ecosystem at home. From what I see people mostly want their PC, phone, laptop and maybe their TV to work well with each other.
you're right, because those are all what matter. Dryers and washing machines are so simple to use, plus you can still download the respective apps then use them on both platforms, no need to integrate them into the system.
Honestly. from the standpoint of a developer, I just love Googles ecosystem, mainly because its so universal and device agnostic. I know that, whatever device I use tomorrow, I will be able to sync it with my Google account

As a Samsung user, nice Samsung ad. But for real, Google Drive Docs Keep Calendar Mail etc is the best 'ecosystem'
I’ve tried various Android phones but keep coming back to the iPhone & the Apple ecosystem. There is nothing better. Also now that they’ve launched Apple Intelligence I doubt I will switch anytime soon.
Pretty sure this comment won’t trigger people who make OS choice their sole personality determinant. How dare you prefer one thing over another, right?
look i use the samsung ecosysyem and its just not as tight nit as apple's and there are at least twice as many times as things just dont work (which happens on both) but in terms of the smarthome i use home assistant to get every device working with homekit, cause im after the ultimate experience even if it requires setup, and in samsung's whole ecosystem they have more customisation in exchange for optimisation, so sure it can be more of your personality, but you lose something for that.
I mean the potential definitely is there, but after watching your video on the apple system I'm not convinced any other party offers the extreme elegance and convenience
Privacy? Lol you do realize that Google, Meta and the CCP still have all your data anyways right? All this privacy centric stuff from Apple is just a marketing gimmick.
@@markehijele Of all the ecosystems, Apple is probably the one company I’d trust the most (not blindly) with my data over Samsung, and definitely Google.
I have s23 and iphone 15 pro. Honestly the iphone have been the better choice. I love samsung. But for some reason my s20, s21 and s23 hate youtube and other apps and keep shutting them down...... tried to fix the issue multiple times but it kept coming back. I have before made a long list of things that works better on apple. Like nfc is not open like on android and need to constantly turn it on and off. On iphoneits 2 clicks on the powerbutton and its ready for 1 time use. My apple watch ultra can do a lot more then my samsung 6 classic watch, and have made me leave my iphone at home. I love how apple works. But still use my s23 with keyboard and mouse along with dex on tv. Great feature but not enough to make me switch back.
I live in Bosnia, and we have more choices related to android echo systems and Samsung brings the best in that category. I have almost everything Samsung from phone to washer and everything between. Does it make my life easier? I would not say but I like it.
Great video. I'm trying to switch from Apple to Samsung. I bought the S24. Do you know how to get my voice recordings app to sync with the Samsung tablet? I've tried all the auto syncing and Samsung account and my voice recordings will not populate on my tablet. Thanks if you have time. Also, is there a way to make these recordings populate on a tablet seamlessly, like they do on Apple?
So if Apple is better but doesn’t have it all, the perfect solution is to use what you can in Apple ecosystem and extend it with Samsung home appliances ecosystem 😂
i'm all for competition - but some flawed assumptions are being made here. similar things were said of apple and A.i. their approach is a partitioned one, what they did with the matter standard, they are doing similar with app intents. which means diversity of hardware (for home automation etc) and software (for augmented intelligence) without sacrificing ease of use and qualitative outcomes.
Who wants to be tied to an individual brand. Consider the device that offers the most, perhaps allowing for less devices too. How that device interacts across devices and brands, is another consideration. Outside of Apple this is generally possible and doesn't need to be a single brand to do the same and more.
@@VariantAEC that is a lost point on many or in reviews also. Anything that's completely tied to a single brand and company when there are alternatives with broader features, abilities, options etc is just a loose loose in any objective reality.
Samsung wins all eco system battles, the phone, tablet, buds, watch, fridge, robot vacuum all sync together, and that's the tip of the iceburg on what you can link
I use samsung, i have the s23 and earbuds 2 pro. I wanted to also buy a galaxy watch 6 classic and a tab s9, but I've come to realize that android's interface, after my 20 years of life still looks very very bad, barely changed, just rounded off the corners. And the galaxy watch 6 sometimes lags when you scroll, which is insane for their latest, best watch, and their heart rate sensors are not that accurate either. My s23 is kinda laggy too, but it has the snapdragon 8 gen 2, which is also insane. Now i cant decide to buy more deeply into samsung or switch to apple
As someone who used both Samsung and Apple, I would never go back to Android or Samsung unless they already have the same level of security and privacy as Apple, and the same level of consistency specially on software updates as Apple. Also while Samsung has the ecosystem most of the time it’s unreliable or not easy to setup. I do think that in terms of hardware and specs most of the time Samsung have the advantage given that they have a lot of focus on research and development for it. But it all boils down to what you prefer and if you have the budget to buy it…lol
I was an Android user since the beginning and I HATED Apple. I hated Apple simply because it was shiny and Apple. I had no other real reason to hate Apple or iPhones in general. When the iPhone 12 came out I reluctantly switched from Android to iOS. I have not went back to Android and I wont go back to Android.
Same with me exactly word for word. However the s24U and the upcoming fold 6 are a very juicy option. My big problem is I love my Apple Watch, Airpods, Airtags and iPad so much it makes menot want to change my phone....Oh and dont forget ....Apple pay.
I don't have a problem with a closed eco-system...I don't feel like trying to keep up with complicated technology at 40. I was into that when I had a computer prior to them being less than 3 grand back in the mid 90's...but, it's just not worth my time and mental capacity to learn new tech things. I'm content with things being easy and working as they should, I don't care if it's "boring" or not "the top tier" (subjective).
comparing tablets , samsung should dedicate a OS to its tablets and use a stronger chip like snapdragon x , tablet shouldnt be just a ultimate youtube machine , you should be able to do some light work on them , (i know you still cant do coding on ipad lol)
Ok so samsung follows the same approach they used to follow. Fantastic features that attract everyone but are not something you would do everyday. The S pen summaries Samsung for me it’s awesome but you rarely remember you have it. And to be honest they still have a huge problem with the basics I can’t stand the noise s24 ultra make in night photos, and many of the features do not actually work as you would have hoped. I want to copy something on my iPhone and be able to paste it on my ipad or MacBook, I want to continue an interesting topic I stumbled on while using my iPhone on any other apple device I have at any given time. You actually can feel that your apple devices understand each other very well they act like if they were a real family.
If apple ever decides to be really innovative (by that I mean something new, not copy paste something old and sell it as "new"), I may consider buying an iPhone
what you said about Apple is not incorrect. The issue comes on why should I lock myself in another brand eg. Samsung. But you failed to mention a very important part in all of this. CHeck the privacy and your data on a Samsung device. Their TVs send an abnormal amount of data back, even screenshot of those models that have cameras. Fridges do the same, and I don't mean only about the simple things that is programmed to do eg. you need to buy apples. The collection of data is insane and nobody talks about it.
@@VariantAEC if you have the knowledge you can see how much data are being transmitted . When apple makes a fridge or TV we can judge then. Till that point you have nothing tangible to do so. IF we compare eg. Phones then from that only we can see that Apple is transimmiting far fewer data, how those are used and by who. It is all in the TOS . You can read it
Bro you're never going to use the ecosystem. People say "oh i got an ipad because it can work with my laptop and they can work with my iPhone" and I've never seen them use anything other then google drive.
You can't even use Samsung smart products fully on another Android device. So little point dragging Apple when Sammy are aping them at every single opportunity from closed ecosystem to watchband.
The problem is with apple you can still use those products with smart things without giving up your apple products. And samsung dex is just and interface for oneui with a different aesthetic. I can get the same productive done with iPad OS or even ios but that's just me
Bro, samsung just isnt the same now, they literally copy Apple, wat about the “Galaxy Watch Ultra” huh? The new buds? The s24 ultra is the same as the 15 pro, like THE SAME but more. Yea Apple doesnt do that
No company will surpass apples ecosystem anytime soon. They have built with their ecosystem in mind since the start and are far too far ahead. Once the well designed and thoughtful on-device AI features begin falling from the sky they will just move further and further ahead. Apple products, software, support and useability is FAR ahead of any other phone company, and it's phone companies that control the ecosystem. It's also why I believe no AI is useful unless it is integrated into an ecosystem, and apple has the best one. So it is likely apples AI features will be the most practical anywhere.
Everyone's definition of "better" isn't the same. It depends on how you use it. Also, Apple covers all the basics exceedingly well. If you ask a random person what are the top features they look for in a phone, it will probably be a combination of camera, security, battery life, display, accessories, speed, stability, etc. Iphones do all those very well. Maybe not the absolute best in any single thing, but scores high in nearly everything. Kind of the sum is greater than the parts. Last is simplicity. Iphones are easy to learn and easy to use. Yeah, they added alot of features, but you don't 'have' to use the advanced stuff if you don't want to. If you used an iphone 3, you can pretty much jump right to an iphone 15 without breaking stride. People like familiarity, ya know? They figure this is what I'm used to, and it works... why would I bother switching? Anyway, just my $0.02. Everyone is different though.
Cuz majority of people don't really care what type of phone they have, as long as you don't stick out like a sore thumb like "oh you don't have an iPhone?" You'll be fine with that and the moment you get stuck at Apple's eco system, you might as well be hooked on for life cuz they make it so difficult for you to switch. I mean look at the messaging system, apple could have easily fixed android to apple msgs but make it so in a way that when receiving a text from android looks bad. Lol talk about petty.
You forget other things like audio. MS and Google dropped the ball on audio. Chromecast .. is where? Bt is a pain compared to airplay for speakers. On any apple device i can send audio to any of my sonos speakers. Apples stores are better. App quality better.
Audio is better on Android, whether looking at flat sound or EQ customization. What does MS have to do with anything here? Ah, no matter, MS Windows has cleaner audio as well. Chromecast, who brought that up and why? BT is painless on Android or at least on every Android phone I've ever used. The App Store has different apps, and sometimes App Store apps are just better, I won't argue against that. It seems that I never need any of those better on Apple devive apps, though. So, while I know some key apps are better on iOS, it doesn't affect me, and most of the improvements on iOS are not really that significant with the gap closing year by year as Apple phones become less popular. Apple app quality is really falling off, especially recently.
@@VariantAEC ecosystem is convenience between devices. Since android link to windows I consider this a part of this ecosystem. Sharing audio is way worse. Chromecast is a part of the ecosystem is it not?
@@m8940sv By your logic, Apple iPhones also link to Windows, making Windows part of Apple's ecosystem. Why choose zapple when Windows is not so great? Tbese are separate thimgs, and you can use most Samsung devices without touching Windows. Sharing audio on Android is easy, and Android supports higher quality BT streaming.
Personally, im kinda mixed when it comes to ecosystems. audio, its apple. fitness, garmin or google. And phone is google. If you have an android and airpods the download materialpods off the Playstore, supports autoconnect and battery. Honestly though, ive never ever owned an iphone, and my airpods experience has still been great. Also you dont need an iphone to update your airpods. I dont know what apple did but for some off reason ill go months without connecting to the iphones at walmart and when i do go back to walmart and connect my airpods for the hell of it, their already on the newest update. And i know airpods dont update in 30 seconds.
Honestly what always brings me back to Apple is macOS. Nothing, and i mean nothing, comes even close to the hardware, software, and value of a Macbook Air M1.
I was an Android user for over a decade, but I switched to Apple a few years ago and will never go back. The privacy is MUCH better, you buy products from Apple, you're not their product unlike with Google based software. In addition, you can use your iPad as a full computing device now, you can plug it in and have a great experience. Also I think Apple is going to be ahead in terms of AI with their newest updates and phones.
@@markehijele that’s a bold assumption. just because someone agrees with the informed opinions of security researchers doesn’t mean that they are mindlessly parroting a claim they heard. if you genuinely believe that google software isn’t glorified spyware then i’m not sure you’re at all capable or reasoning with. ignore your ignorant biases for a moment and do some research, read some white papers, touch grass and try to learn something, mouth breather.
If you're truly a privacy freak, better use custom rom on mobile and Arch linux on pc. You can even de-google Android. That's the true level of minute control you can have on your devices, provided you have the knack for it. Rest everywhere, we're just slaves to the whims and fancies of big corporations.
Samsung has my attention only because it has newer features than Apple does, feature-wise, I prefer Samsung. OS-wise, I prefer Apple, if Samsung had a similar OS look, I would choose Samsung. I had a Galaxy A03s and I switched to an iphone 13 for my birthday and I was slightly disappointed because I thought it would look smother than my I pad 7th gen but it was so much better than my laggy Galaxy, when my galaxy storage was full, it started lagging, I could barely use it, when i filled up my iphone storage to full, it rarely lagged, so performance wise, apple wins
The god's honest truth is you don't need all this stuff. You're probably just fine with what you have. Save your money, don't work away your life to buy all this. I like tech as much as the next guy, in fact I built my career on it, but it's not worth all the time and money dumped into it. Trust me. Go fishing.
then you also don't need an iphone, a phone with internet and a camers should be enough.This video is not about what you buy it's about who's innvoating more
so true, the amount of convinience you get from this ecosystems are minimal at best, and at most its with file share and there are third party application that you can download to replace it
I recently switched over to apple and fully bought in.. Everything you'd actually use just works. My airpods automatically switch to any device I press play on, any iPhone app that can utilize the watch automatically just does, the laptops are lightyears ahead of comperable priced windows laptops. They might be slower to move, but they seem to always put their foot in the right spot.
I'm a huge advocate for Samsung's Ecosystem, more people should delve into it especially if you prefer android but think that Apple is the only brand with a proper Ecosystem. I also preordered Galaxy Book 4 Edge which will complete my Samsung ecosystem.
The eco system drives me crazy. I wanted to go from my iPhone 13 to a Samsung or Pixle however I already own an iPad & AirPods. The way you can switch between audio on the iPad and iPhone without going into settings is just magic. So I "upgraded" to another boring rectangle iPhone 15 and with how easy phone switches are it's hardly a difference
Yep this - Samsung has similar features - but of course that doesn't help with you already owning the iPad & Airpods. Although you could always sell them & buy the Tab & Galaxy Buds - but of course that depends if you even like those products - alas, ecosystem problems! hah
I switched from an iPhone 12 to a Samsung Galaxy S24 and I ended up returning it the first week for the same reason also another reason I have is the emojis they look better on iPhone and the front facing camera is better on iPhone and so is the biometrics so I returned my S24 and got an iPhone 15 Pro instead and so far I love this phone would highly recommend
I use 3rd party ear buds (Jabra), which easily pair from my Samsung phone to my iPad to my Mac - I just put them in my ears and they start playing no matter what device I have open. No fluffing about with settings involved. I just think either a lack of knowledge, or a lack of will, is what keeps users in their “lane” of what they’re used to. I left iPhone in 2020 and haven’t gone back, even though I still have other Apple devices.
@@FrancisSyCoCo that’s the dream but you can’t use 100% capabilities. Trust me when you are into Apple eco systems it’s so hard to get out for small stuff that make life so easy. Like copy on iPhone and paste on Mac. WiFi sharing . Connecting Apple TV to hotel WiFi with iPhone .
I know you are not going to agree with me. But I like having a non smart home even though I am a tech enthousiast. I like having home things not being smart. it's easy and keeps it simple
Tbh that AI fridge that knows when my food expires caught my attention, but besides that, none of them actually make your life easier. Our life is too complicated these days and we are at fault.
It's not about needing it, it's about having a convenience or feeling of easement by being helped by those devices, so you can put your attention elsewhere.
Imagine not knowing how to process context of video. That I hope you actually watched. This video showed a broad scope of what the ecosystems are capable of. That's on you if you see something and think you either, need it or don't need it.
Great video. The shrinking of software ecosystems to specifically fit the Apple product line has been a trend for a while. Home products have never been a part of the ecosystem because it wasn't a large part of Apple's ecosystem. The experience of connected devices has been a sticking point for Android recently, combined with the user experiences frequently ignored by Apple users I'd imagine the ecosystem case for Apple won't be as strong in the coming years.
I feel like it has to give at some point, Apple can't just refuse to integrate products until they create their version. Apple Fridge, Apple Oven. Apple Solar Panels? lol
As much as I want to switch from Apple to Samsung, I just can’t stand the design of the Android OS. It feels choppy and bulky, and its appearance seems like it’s meant for children. Plus, it varies depending on the device you use. I love Android devices but cannot get past the OS. Apple devices are repetitive, and their ecosystem could be much better. However, the OS is clean, and regardless of the device, there is no lag.
I tried Android (Galaxy S23 Ultra) for 10 months. I enjoyed it for the first 7 months. The 3 months, I hated it. It started to lag, freeze and it had a few bugs here and there that made my experience a bad one. I was anxious to come back to Apple and I’m glad I did. Give Android a try just to get rid of the itch but you’ll probably end up coming back to Apple lol.
I personally disagree, i switched from apple to s24 ultra after being on apple for my whole life and im not going back. Its true that some apps may not be as optomised for android but the customization and the features on android are definatly worth it to me
@@Kokomatics I love the customization abilities from Samsung. You can change almost everything. For me though, customizing seemed more like a chore and it would take me 30 to 45 minutes to get the phone tailored until my heart was content. I prefer apple’s simplicity. Everyone’s experience varies and Android wasn’t for me. I’m glad I decided to give it a shot.
i love this video . its very informative and descriptive. So much that my 60 yr old mom saw it and now fully understands her phone watch and macbook air. now she is expanding her tech. knowledge. thank you 🙏🏼
I dont have any brand loyalty and use devices i like and has the features I need. And single brand ecosystems are overrated Apps I use are always cross platform so everything is available everywhere all the time so ive never seen the need Working on a desktop/laptop is completely separate from phone use I don't know if I'm missing anything
The smart devices point im not sure what you mean. Matter, the standard apple is compatible with, is not exclusive to them. Its created by Apple, Amazon, Google, and a few other companies participate in it as well.
Yeah matter is definitely fixing a lot of these problems. It's the other integrations really which are less device support. Services / integrations etc that I meant here! Slowly converting everything in the house to matter. 😬
Guys let me know what your device ecosystem🤣 heres my “ecosystem” 😂 - Phone: Iphone 13 Pro for work and Zflip 5 for Personal use - Earbuds: Huawei Freebuds pro 3 (just bought it cause it has better mic quality than airpod pro) - Laptop: Dell Latitude 7430 i7 - Tablet: Ipad Pro M2 - Watch: Galaxy Watch 6 I'm loyal to no brand, use products what benefits to you
If you stick with Samsung for a while you will quickly realize their support for products is patchy. The lack of support for items that are only a few years old is terrible. This is the overall experience apple managed much better.
Samsung is pretty consistent with updates,atleast for smartphones,tablets,watch,buds . And they have improved animations and smoothness of one ui greatly in one ui 6.1.
While collaboration is great, sometimes it's also the reason why some stuff come out really late or half baked like Windows on ARM taking 12 years to finally have a true competitor to x86 (from the very first Microsoft Surface) or the Android competitor to the Vision Pro still being MIA. One company dictating and making all the decisions can sometimes be more efficient than several figureheads deciding and arguing what to do next.
For me I used all apple devices macbook air, mac, Ipad, and airpods pro being in the apple ecosystem is easy and you don't need to worry about upcoming emails and phone calls since, you can answer all in your macbook😎
Hey buddy, so your saying you can get different brands to work together unlike with apple. Like I could have pixel phone, a Samsung laptop, even use my Bowers & Wilkins headphone with either of them seamlessly?
I've been lucky enough through my jobs to try loads of different phones over the years, and I can confidently say that Samsung's ecosystem is my absolute favorite. Between my Fold 5, Buds2 Pro, and Watch 4, it's such a fluid and open ecosystem that pairs way better with others, such as my Govee lights, Tile, and Chromebook (Lenovo Duet 5). While I have a great appreciation for what Apple has built, there's no comparison in my opinion. P.s. - if you're considering something new like a foldable, it is a GAME CHANGER. I could never go back to a boring old slab phone, even though they have marginally better cameras.
Yea. I’ll stick with Apple thanks. Planned obsolescence isn’t a myth when your android phone and tablets bog down to the point of being unusable 6-8 months later. I use my old iPhone 12 Pro Max as a mobile gaming device for idle games like CoC and things to do when I have nothing better to do and with the exception of battery health not being what it was 4years ago, the phone operates flawlessly with no lag to speak of.
I switched from apple to Samsung (specifically iphone 12 pro to zfold 4) there are definitely some things I miss on apple but I'll be venturing out into the ecosystem of android a bit.
If you could build the ideal ecosystem out of any brand, what would you choose? (phone, watch, headphones or earbuds, tablet, laptop, etc!)
Either Apple or Google ecosystems
Samsung - Because I have a Samsung TV, Fridge and Computer. All works great with Smartthings.
But what about if you could mix and match?

Right, and to that point, Android is actually better for offering support across the divide Apple places on its customers.
@@VariantAEC that is a lost point on many or in reviews also. Anything that's completely tied to a single brand and company when there are alternatives with broader features, abilities, options etc is just a loose loose in any objective reality.
Samsung wins all eco system battles, the phone, tablet, buds, watch, fridge, robot vacuum all sync together, and that's the tip of the iceburg on what you can link
I use samsung, i have the s23 and earbuds 2 pro. I wanted to also buy a galaxy watch 6 classic and a tab s9, but I've come to realize that android's interface, after my 20 years of life still looks very very bad, barely changed, just rounded off the corners. And the galaxy watch 6 sometimes lags when you scroll, which is insane for their latest, best watch, and their heart rate sensors are not that accurate either. My s23 is kinda laggy too, but it has the snapdragon 8 gen 2, which is also insane. Now i cant decide to buy more deeply into samsung or switch to apple
As someone who used both Samsung and Apple, I would never go back to Android or Samsung unless they already have the same level of security and privacy as Apple, and the same level of consistency specially on software updates as Apple. Also while Samsung has the ecosystem most of the time it’s unreliable or not easy to setup. I do think that in terms of hardware and specs most of the time Samsung have the advantage given that they have a lot of focus on research and development for it. But it all boils down to what you prefer and if you have the budget to buy it…lol

I was an Android user since the beginning and I HATED Apple. I hated Apple simply because it was shiny and Apple. I had no other real reason to hate Apple or iPhones in general. When the iPhone 12 came out I reluctantly switched from Android to iOS. I have not went back to Android and I wont go back to Android.
Same here, used it for 11 years after I sold my blackberry I’m now using my first iPhone 12 and I don’t see myself ever returning to android.
Android was released in 2008, iphone 12 in 2020. Seems legit.
If you hated Apple as much as you say, what led you to switch?
15? iPhone 12?
You aren't too bright.
Same with me exactly word for word. However the s24U and the upcoming fold 6 are a very juicy option. My big problem is I love my Apple Watch, Airpods, Airtags and iPad so much it makes menot want to change my phone....Oh and dont forget ....Apple pay.
I don't have a problem with a closed eco-system...I don't feel like trying to keep up with complicated technology at 40. I was into that when I had a computer prior to them being less than 3 grand back in the mid 90's...but, it's just not worth my time and mental capacity to learn new tech things. I'm content with things being easy and working as they should, I don't care if it's "boring" or not "the top tier" (subjective).
Xiaomi or Samsung ?
I don't know why, but Apple devices lag more for me than Android nowadays.
but these things can be solved on the applications layer
Apple ecosystem is the only that actually a real functional cohesive ecosystem
My broke a** who uses their washing machine, kitchen, heater and everything else on manual:
comparing tablets , samsung should dedicate a OS to its tablets and use a stronger chip like snapdragon x , tablet shouldnt be just a ultimate youtube machine , you should be able to do some light work on them , (i know you still cant do coding on ipad lol)
I prefer Samsung products. Everything just works unlike the apple products I've tried
Ok so samsung follows the same approach they used to follow.
Fantastic features that attract everyone but are not something you would do everyday.
The S pen summaries Samsung for me it’s awesome but you rarely remember you have it.
And to be honest they still have a huge problem with the basics I can’t stand the noise s24 ultra make in night photos, and many of the features do not actually work as you would have hoped.
I want to copy something on my iPhone and be able to paste it on my ipad or MacBook, I want to continue an interesting topic I stumbled on while using my iPhone on any other apple device I have at any given time.
You actually can feel that your apple devices understand each other very well they act like if they were a real family.
Or, hear me out, you just go analog and don't get f**ked!
Greatest regards from a Louis Rossman viewer
If apple ever decides to be really innovative (by that I mean something new, not copy paste something old and sell it as "new"), I may consider buying an iPhone
I mean better cameras on paper. Apples longevity is also far greater in practice
what you said about Apple is not incorrect.
The issue comes on why should I lock myself in another brand eg. Samsung.
But you failed to mention a very important part in all of this. CHeck the privacy and your data on a Samsung device. Their TVs send an abnormal amount of data back, even screenshot of those models that have cameras. Fridges do the same, and I don't mean only about the simple things that is programmed to do eg. you need to buy apples. The collection of data is insane and nobody talks about it.
Apple is no different in that regard. The only exception is that Apple doesn't make a fridge or TV with cameras in them, yet.
@@VariantAEC if you have the knowledge you can see how much data are being transmitted .
When apple makes a fridge or TV we can judge then. Till that point you have nothing tangible to do so.
IF we compare eg. Phones then from that only we can see that Apple is transimmiting far fewer data, how those are used and by who. It is all in the TOS . You can read it
@@John7No
It's not true at all. Even just keeping it to phones, you can stop all data collection on Android. It's user choice.
Reliability
Apple is the Gold Standard, according to Apple. Not everyone worships the Lords of Cupertino.
'Which walled-garden would you like confine yourself to?"
- There. Fixed the title
Samsung and Android as a whole have much less in the way of walled-gardens. Apple on the other hand...
No power on earth can make me switch to android. Nothing wrong with Samsung but the os is the problem here.
Dont like Vendor LockIn, love FOSS
It's the politics. WE WANT CHOICE. Apple must not be supported.
Bro you're never going to use the ecosystem. People say "oh i got an ipad because it can work with my laptop and they can work with my iPhone" and I've never seen them use anything other then google drive.
You can't even use Samsung smart products fully on another Android device. So little point dragging Apple when Sammy are aping them at every single opportunity from closed ecosystem to watchband.
did anyone else notice that samsung puts salt in theyr fridge?
The best Ecosystem you should use is the one Mother Nature provided us with. and it starts with trees, grass and soil.
The problem is with apple you can still use those products with smart things without giving up your apple products. And samsung dex is just and interface for oneui with a different aesthetic. I can get the same productive done with iPad OS or even ios but that's just me
Bro, samsung just isnt the same now, they literally copy Apple, wat about the “Galaxy Watch Ultra” huh? The new buds? The s24 ultra is the same as the 15 pro, like THE SAME but more. Yea Apple doesnt do that
No company will surpass apples ecosystem anytime soon. They have built with their ecosystem in mind since the start and are far too far ahead. Once the well designed and thoughtful on-device AI features begin falling from the sky they will just move further and further ahead.
Apple products, software, support and useability is FAR ahead of any other phone company, and it's phone companies that control the ecosystem.
It's also why I believe no AI is useful unless it is integrated into an ecosystem, and apple has the best one. So it is likely apples AI features will be the most practical anywhere.
My question is
There are a lot of things that are better than Apple , yet non techies still choose Apple
Why is that ?
because not a lot of people feel the need to have a smart dryer, oven, or fridge in their ecosystem
Everyone's definition of "better" isn't the same. It depends on how you use it. Also, Apple covers all the basics exceedingly well. If you ask a random person what are the top features they look for in a phone, it will probably be a combination of camera, security, battery life, display, accessories, speed, stability, etc. Iphones do all those very well. Maybe not the absolute best in any single thing, but scores high in nearly everything. Kind of the sum is greater than the parts.
Last is simplicity. Iphones are easy to learn and easy to use. Yeah, they added alot of features, but you don't 'have' to use the advanced stuff if you don't want to. If you used an iphone 3, you can pretty much jump right to an iphone 15 without breaking stride. People like familiarity, ya know? They figure this is what I'm used to, and it works... why would I bother switching? Anyway, just my $0.02. Everyone is different though.
@@stephencooper3583 spot on 👌🏾
Cuz majority of people don't really care what type of phone they have, as long as you don't stick out like a sore thumb like "oh you don't have an iPhone?" You'll be fine with that and the moment you get stuck at Apple's eco system, you might as well be hooked on for life cuz they make it so difficult for you to switch. I mean look at the messaging system, apple could have easily fixed android to apple msgs but make it so in a way that when receiving a text from android looks bad. Lol talk about petty.
performance, reliability and ease of use
You forget other things like audio. MS and Google dropped the ball on audio. Chromecast .. is where? Bt is a pain compared to airplay for speakers. On any apple device i can send audio to any of my sonos speakers. Apples stores are better. App quality better.
Audio is better on Android, whether looking at flat sound or EQ customization. What does MS have to do with anything here? Ah, no matter, MS Windows has cleaner audio as well. Chromecast, who brought that up and why? BT is painless on Android or at least on every Android phone I've ever used. The App Store has different apps, and sometimes App Store apps are just better, I won't argue against that. It seems that I never need any of those better on Apple devive apps, though. So, while I know some key apps are better on iOS, it doesn't affect me, and most of the improvements on iOS are not really that significant with the gap closing year by year as Apple phones become less popular. Apple app quality is really falling off, especially recently.
@@VariantAEC ecosystem is convenience between devices. Since android link to windows I consider this a part of this ecosystem. Sharing audio is way worse. Chromecast is a part of the ecosystem is it not?
@@m8940sv
By your logic, Apple iPhones also link to Windows, making Windows part of Apple's ecosystem. Why choose zapple when Windows is not so great? Tbese are separate thimgs, and you can use most Samsung devices without touching Windows. Sharing audio on Android is easy, and Android supports higher quality BT streaming.
.....
You need to start using shortcuts on apple
Personally, im kinda mixed when it comes to ecosystems. audio, its apple. fitness, garmin or google. And phone is google. If you have an android and airpods the download materialpods off the Playstore, supports autoconnect and battery. Honestly though, ive never ever owned an iphone, and my airpods experience has still been great. Also you dont need an iphone to update your airpods. I dont know what apple did but for some off reason ill go months without connecting to the iphones at walmart and when i do go back to walmart and connect my airpods for the hell of it, their already on the newest update. And i know airpods dont update in 30 seconds.
Am I the only one who doesn’t want Ai features in devices
You are not
Two major reasons why Apple is better: 2) Privacy and 1) I WANT MY MONEY TO GO AMERICAN COMPANIES! Help your own country ffs
@@rus8077 google is American and android os is created by google when sold to other companies would pay google to use android
Honestly what always brings me back to Apple is macOS.
Nothing, and i mean nothing, comes even close to the hardware, software, and value of a Macbook Air M1.
Until android apps are not optimized for their OS im not getting rid of my iPhone. (I use both apple and android btw)
I was an Android user for over a decade, but I switched to Apple a few years ago and will never go back. The privacy is MUCH better, you buy products from Apple, you're not their product unlike with Google based software. In addition, you can use your iPad as a full computing device now, you can plug it in and have a great experience. Also I think Apple is going to be ahead in terms of AI with their newest updates and phones.
Privacy is MUCH better? Samsung Knox Security system is approved by U.S. National Security Agency. I wonder if Apples saves people from Nuclear Bombs.
You can disable all sensors on your android(including camera and microphone) from the toggle down screen now.
@@markehijele that’s a bold assumption. just because someone agrees with the informed opinions of security researchers doesn’t mean that they are mindlessly parroting a claim they heard. if you genuinely believe that google software isn’t glorified spyware then i’m not sure you’re at all capable or reasoning with. ignore your ignorant biases for a moment and do some research, read some white papers, touch grass and try to learn something, mouth breather.
If you're truly a privacy freak, better use custom rom on mobile and Arch linux on pc. You can even de-google Android. That's the true level of minute control you can have on your devices, provided you have the knack for it. Rest everywhere, we're just slaves to the whims and fancies of big corporations.
@@turtleownage with Samsung Dex ur phone can be a computer also.
Samsung has my attention only because it has newer features than Apple does, feature-wise, I prefer Samsung. OS-wise, I prefer Apple, if Samsung had a similar OS look, I would choose Samsung. I had a Galaxy A03s and I switched to an iphone 13 for my birthday and I was slightly disappointed because I thought it would look smother than my I pad 7th gen but it was so much better than my laggy Galaxy, when my galaxy storage was full, it started lagging, I could barely use it, when i filled up my iphone storage to full, it rarely lagged, so performance wise, apple wins
I don't wanna be that guy but you can't compare an iPhone 13 to an A03s.
@SGH18
Budget Samsung Galaxy A series under $600 vs flagship S series starting at $900+. Apple guy thinks they're the same thing... 🤯
Timing of this video is pretty bad considering Apple Intelligence just dropped and destroys anything Google is doing.
I hate getting locked into the Apple ecosystem
Better choices for non Americans: xiaomi or HUAWEI 😂
The god's honest truth is you don't need all this stuff. You're probably just fine with what you have. Save your money, don't work away your life to buy all this. I like tech as much as the next guy, in fact I built my career on it, but it's not worth all the time and money dumped into it. Trust me. Go fishing.
Then you are not the target audience of this video.
Top tier comment right here!
then you also don't need an iphone, a phone with internet and a camers should be enough.This video is not about what you buy it's about who's innvoating more
so true, the amount of convinience you get from this ecosystems are minimal at best, and at most its with file share and there are third party application that you can download to replace it
@@MrDragonorp Huh? Do you even have an ecosystem set up or are you an armchair expert with no experience?
I recently switched over to apple and fully bought in.. Everything you'd actually use just works. My airpods automatically switch to any device I press play on, any iPhone app that can utilize the watch automatically just does, the laptops are lightyears ahead of comperable priced windows laptops.
They might be slower to move, but they seem to always put their foot in the right spot.
I'm a huge advocate for Samsung's Ecosystem, more people should delve into it especially if you prefer android but think that Apple is the only brand with a proper Ecosystem. I also preordered Galaxy Book 4 Edge which will complete my Samsung ecosystem.
Support the US
My problem is the Samsung laptops have trash battery life compared to even the Macbook Air
You are not complete until you experience the South Korean SamSung ecosystem🤣
Yeah. Their ecosystem is an actual ecosystem. You can use your tablet as a monitor your, phone as a mouse pad.
Remember if you have the entire Samsung ecosystem
Samsung is not in your house, Samsung is your house
and even the washing machines are fukin lovely
The eco system drives me crazy. I wanted to go from my iPhone 13 to a Samsung or Pixle however I already own an iPad & AirPods. The way you can switch between audio on the iPad and iPhone without going into settings is just magic. So I "upgraded" to another boring rectangle iPhone 15 and with how easy phone switches are it's hardly a difference
Samsung has a similar seamless audio switching feature with their Galaxy Buds.
Yep this - Samsung has similar features - but of course that doesn't help with you already owning the iPad & Airpods. Although you could always sell them & buy the Tab & Galaxy Buds - but of course that depends if you even like those products - alas, ecosystem problems! hah
I switched from an iPhone 12 to a Samsung Galaxy S24 and I ended up returning it the first week for the same reason also another reason I have is the emojis they look better on iPhone and the front facing camera is better on iPhone and so is the biometrics so I returned my S24 and got an iPhone 15 Pro instead and so far I love this phone would highly recommend
@PeteMatheson I think it's more like Apples problem. My Sony Headphones works well when I play music in my Dell Laptop and switch to phone.
I use 3rd party ear buds (Jabra), which easily pair from my Samsung phone to my iPad to my Mac - I just put them in my ears and they start playing no matter what device I have open. No fluffing about with settings involved. I just think either a lack of knowledge, or a lack of will, is what keeps users in their “lane” of what they’re used to. I left iPhone in 2020 and haven’t gone back, even though I still have other Apple devices.
I'm glad i am into my own ecosystem wherein I can just enjoy the things that i need..
@@FrancisSyCoCo that’s the dream but you can’t use 100% capabilities. Trust me when you are into Apple eco systems it’s so hard to get out for small stuff that make life so easy. Like copy on iPhone and paste on Mac.
WiFi sharing .
Connecting Apple TV to hotel WiFi with iPhone .
Looks like you triggered a bunch of Apple loyalists lol
🤷🏻♂️
I know you are not going to agree with me. But I like having a non smart home even though I am a tech enthousiast. I like having home things not being smart. it's easy and keeps it simple
Imagine thinking you need all these "smart" devices in your life...
Tbh that AI fridge that knows when my food expires caught my attention, but besides that, none of them actually make your life easier.
Our life is too complicated these days and we are at fault.
It's not about needing it, it's about having a convenience or feeling of easement by being helped by those devices, so you can put your attention elsewhere.
Imagine not knowing how to process context of video. That I hope you actually watched. This video showed a broad scope of what the ecosystems are capable of. That's on you if you see something and think you either, need it or don't need it.
Great video. The shrinking of software ecosystems to specifically fit the Apple product line has been a trend for a while. Home products have never been a part of the ecosystem because it wasn't a large part of Apple's ecosystem.
The experience of connected devices has been a sticking point for Android recently, combined with the user experiences frequently ignored by Apple users I'd imagine the ecosystem case for Apple won't be as strong in the coming years.
I feel like it has to give at some point, Apple can't just refuse to integrate products until they create their version.
Apple Fridge, Apple Oven. Apple Solar Panels? lol
0:20 I used to have that safe. Someone stole the safe
As much as I want to switch from Apple to Samsung, I just can’t stand the design of the Android OS. It feels choppy and bulky, and its appearance seems like it’s meant for children. Plus, it varies depending on the device you use. I love Android devices but cannot get past the OS. Apple devices are repetitive, and their ecosystem could be much better. However, the OS is clean, and regardless of the device, there is no lag.
I tried Android (Galaxy S23 Ultra) for 10 months. I enjoyed it for the first 7 months. The 3 months, I hated it. It started to lag, freeze and it had a few bugs here and there that made my experience a bad one. I was anxious to come back to Apple and I’m glad I did.
Give Android a try just to get rid of the itch but you’ll probably end up coming back to Apple lol.
Try different launcher? There are iOS launchers as well and minimalistic too
I personally disagree, i switched from apple to s24 ultra after being on apple for my whole life and im not going back. Its true that some apps may not be as optomised for android but the customization and the features on android are definatly worth it to me
@@Kokomatics I love the customization abilities from Samsung. You can change almost everything. For me though, customizing seemed more like a chore and it would take me 30 to 45 minutes to get the phone tailored until my heart was content. I prefer apple’s simplicity.
Everyone’s experience varies and Android wasn’t for me. I’m glad I decided to give it a shot.
@@Kokomatics pretty sure that is the problem with app developers there is probably a way to android app look and feel like iPhone apps
I prefer Google Android open Ecosystem ⌚️💻📱📺💯
S24 Ultra clearly a game changer. I'm switching gradually to Samsung. It's great.
i love this video . its very informative and descriptive. So much that my 60 yr old mom saw it and now fully understands her phone watch and macbook air. now she is expanding her tech. knowledge.
thank you 🙏🏼
I dont have any brand loyalty and use devices i like and has the features I need. And single brand ecosystems are overrated
Apps I use are always cross platform so everything is available everywhere all the time so ive never seen the need
Working on a desktop/laptop is completely separate from phone use
I don't know if I'm missing anything
Me: I love this ecosystem, so cool and productive.
My Wallet: Bruh
The smart devices point im not sure what you mean. Matter, the standard apple is compatible with, is not exclusive to them. Its created by Apple, Amazon, Google, and a few other companies participate in it as well.
Yeah matter is definitely fixing a lot of these problems. It's the other integrations really which are less device support. Services / integrations etc that I meant here!
Slowly converting everything in the house to matter. 😬
Guys let me know what your device ecosystem🤣 heres my “ecosystem” 😂
- Phone: Iphone 13 Pro for work and Zflip 5 for Personal use
- Earbuds: Huawei Freebuds pro 3 (just bought it cause it has better mic quality than airpod pro)
- Laptop: Dell Latitude 7430 i7
- Tablet: Ipad Pro M2
- Watch: Galaxy Watch 6
I'm loyal to no brand, use products what benefits to you
Better camera? 😂
Apple still rules in that department
As my maths teacher used to say: 'explain your working'
Also can't for the life of me understand samsungs prohibiting the use of their notes app on your desktop. That's so dumb.
If you stick with Samsung for a while you will quickly realize their support for products is patchy. The lack of support for items that are only a few years old is terrible. This is the overall experience apple managed much better.
Samsung is pretty consistent with updates,atleast for smartphones,tablets,watch,buds .
And they have improved animations and smoothness of one ui greatly in one ui 6.1.
Lately the support has improved considerably
Maybe 6 years ago, that's not the case anymore.
They're very consistent and have monthly updates.
Imagine if they even gave AI abilities to old devices too. And didn't keep you pegged to a assistant from 10 years ago 🤔
@@richardweerasinghe3296 because apple has lesser products/appliances than samsung
I have used everything from Motorola, Samsung, Google, Nexus, HTC, Sony and iPhone. Whichever one has the best deal at the time for the best phone.
While collaboration is great, sometimes it's also the reason why some stuff come out really late or half baked like Windows on ARM taking 12 years to finally have a true competitor to x86 (from the very first Microsoft Surface) or the Android competitor to the Vision Pro still being MIA. One company dictating and making all the decisions can sometimes be more efficient than several figureheads deciding and arguing what to do next.
For me I used all apple devices macbook air, mac, Ipad, and airpods pro being in the apple ecosystem is easy and you don't need to worry about upcoming emails and phone calls since, you can answer all in your macbook😎
I mean, I'm pretty sure most laptops can do that (I know mine does), but the seamless interaction between devices is certainly undeniable.
@@coastguardghost2190 true
Hey buddy, so your saying you can get different brands to work together unlike with apple. Like I could have pixel phone, a Samsung laptop, even use my Bowers & Wilkins headphone with either of them seamlessly?
I've been lucky enough through my jobs to try loads of different phones over the years, and I can confidently say that Samsung's ecosystem is my absolute favorite. Between my Fold 5, Buds2 Pro, and Watch 4, it's such a fluid and open ecosystem that pairs way better with others, such as my Govee lights, Tile, and Chromebook (Lenovo Duet 5). While I have a great appreciation for what Apple has built, there's no comparison in my opinion.
P.s. - if you're considering something new like a foldable, it is a GAME CHANGER. I could never go back to a boring old slab phone, even though they have marginally better cameras.
Yea. I’ll stick with Apple thanks. Planned obsolescence isn’t a myth when your android phone and tablets bog down to the point of being unusable 6-8 months later. I use my old iPhone 12 Pro Max as a mobile gaming device for idle games like CoC and things to do when I have nothing better to do and with the exception of battery health not being what it was 4years ago, the phone operates flawlessly with no lag to speak of.
if you're interested you should check out xiami's ecosystem , they're something
I switched from apple to Samsung (specifically iphone 12 pro to zfold 4) there are definitely some things I miss on apple but I'll be venturing out into the ecosystem of android a bit.
I have to think that Apple's so much acclaimed and praised ecosystem is rather a trap than the holy ecosystem.
You could be right!
