Outside the USA, the iMessage and Facetime problem is not even a thing, because we usually go for third-party messaging apps regardless of the phone people have anyways… I’m an Android person, and while I knew about some of the points you’ve mentioned, like the back gesture (trying to use my friend’s iPhone was super annoying because of that), I was shocked to learn about a few other features that I use on the regular and that are missing on iOs. Yep, I’m never making the switch

[@samanthaoviedo2044]

So true! I live in Australia and iPhone users are huge here, but also Android users, it's pretty balanced. People don't care about the iMessage thing, everyone texts or WhatsApp still. Only thing I find annoying is when someone asks "Can you AirDrop it to me?" and I give them the side eye while holding my Samsung Galaxy S23... Also, don't get me started on the awkward moment every time someone hands me over their iPhone and I can't go back like a normal Android user person LOL.

What I hate about iPhone is that on the AlarmClock when you enable the Alarm, it doesn't show you how much time is left for you to sleep. Simple thing, and they failed to add this.

[@thefallen924]

I gave ios a shot with the iPhone 14pro, first thing I noticed is that if I wake up before my alarm is set to go off you can't even dismiss it without waiting for it to actually go off. Where in Android, it can tell youre up and using the phone, so it gives you the option of dismissing the alarm off. Such a small option that makes all the difference. Currently waiting for my galaxy s24 pre-order. Never again lol

Spot on! I was a huge Apple user and loved it (3Gs until 6S). Then switched to Android and fell in love with it. This year, I tried to give Apple another chance. I lasted less than a month. Everything you have said were serious pain points for me. I'd add a few smaller things: voice dictation on iOS was absolutely horrendous; Siri isn't that helpful ("here's what I found on the web" Bruh, just TELL me!); and one thing that even my wife who decided to go back to Apple seriously misses and I use all the time is scheduling text messages. Apple has done a great job at marketing and I get annoyed with people who blindly say "Apple is just so much easier to use, more intuitive, etc." while never having used a flagship Android device... Well done!

Yeah Apple is easier to use but Android can look however you like, with iOS, you get what you get

[@RareFXChrisC]

​@@mihailoaleksic3330People THINK iOS is the easiest to use, but it isn't. It's only because they used it for years, learned all the icons and how they work. Windows Phone was actually the easiest to use. Even if it was your first time using it, beside every row of icons, there was an ellipse "..." and when you tapped on it, it would bring up text describing what each icon did. On iOS and Android, you just had to use the phone for a while and slowly learn what each icon meant.

They're behind AOS at least 10 years in a term of innovations and features. Samsung is just killing them in every possible way.

[@jonfreeman9682]

That's because iPhone makes it easy so you don't need those features. iPhone is all about simplicity and ease of use without so many unnecessary buttons. It's like their camera you just point and shoot and they'll handle the optimization for you.

[@VAKZ23]

coming from an android phone way back 2019, a galaxy note 10+ i just appreciated this simple vibe when i tried an iPhone from my renewal, it was a 13 Pro, and mann it was a relief holding a managably sized phone in my hand, open the phone, click an app and use it, I dont have to worry where the hell did I put the damn app because Im using a 3rd party launcher, then monstrous amount of gestures that i set .. at the end of the day, yes giving your phone a personal touch is something but... I just got tired of that I guess..

[@axamesvc]

@@jonfreeman9682 lol. what's easy on iPhone? Did you ever touch Samsung's best phones such as S23+/24+ or Ultra models? These phones are spaceships for iPhone models. See, the fact is that Android users enjoy in better hardware, software, innovations and features while iPhone users are enjoying in lil better build quality and longer support. But now Samsung and Google will also provide a 7 years of support to their users too. See, Android users aren't iPhone haters, we know that iPhone is very good phone, but we hate when some isheep is saying that iPhone is better than iPhone's killer which is Samsung. How that dated peace of tech from 2012. can be better when it have not some basic and standardised things developed under the hood such as easy acess to anything, clipboard, moving icons and organizing the UI, custumisations for making your UI experience to fit your needs in the way you like or make a device to work in the way you want? For us, iOS is just a real pain cuz it's not developed enough. You know itself that iPhone is just for younger people who's addicted to social consumption, they can record videos with good stabilisation, make good selfies and waste a lot of time on a very polished and optimised social apps, but when it comes to productivity and working with documents, that phone is a real nightmare thanks to undeveloped and limited iOS functionalities and abilities. This is a field where AOS is far way in front of iOS. With Android phone, you don't need another tech devices such as laptop, watch etc. cuz philosophy ground of making AOS is to make one device for all. This means that your phone as a smart device is enough for everything, and that's a reason why AOS is an open source project based on Linux which is constantly under developing, and every single year the thing are just getting better and better. Do you getting this things now? Android is one device for all needs you have, while Apple's business philosophy is a few various devices for all your needs which means that you have to spend way more money and get MacBook, iWatch etc. to experience what smart device really means. I tried to switch twice, but no way, that iOS is still very undeveloped which is a big dissapointment cuz iPhone device is also expensive and buyers expect way more functionalities of device for that amonut of money. With Android, you just can do everything, you can work with documents, enjoy in gaming, enjoy in media consumption, you have file menager, all connectivity features, you can connect your phone to any smart device, you can make a good photos and videos, you can keep all your documents in electronic form, carry them with you and share it whenever you want and in the way you want, you can use your phone as an projector etc. etc. This is a true mature and definition of open code, a real freedom of AOS users can experience and enjoy, and this is a reason why AOS is covering around 82% of global IT market, it's got standardised worldwide. Apple's iOS ecosys is taking around 18% according to stats from 2022/23 and around 12% are inside the US borders, while other 6% are spread in the rest of the world. Google and Samsung are just leading in all of these things, and I don't even talk about Samsung premium models and why these phones are too good. I'm usualy saying that iPhone can compete with Samsung, but people just don't understand. I sold my desktop PC and have no tablet cuz I don't need it anymore. My phone as one device is enough for all my needs cuz I don't work some of the jobs on a PC, I'm not a graphic designer, programmer, AFX or VFX maker etc., so I don't need laptop, tablet or a PC in my home anymore.

Everything is so idiosyncratic. You just have to memorize everything the way you do the roads in a town that developed before cars. There's no rhyme or reason, just brute memorization. How you do 'x' in one place has no bearing on how you do 'x' in another. Things just move around or revert to previous settings randomly. You change a setting within an app and a week later a random half dozen apps start showing the same change. Really, I've given up.

Great video and I agree. I was a long time Android user but had to switch to an iPhone for a medical app not really developed well on android. The swap was painful.

The company I work for gave me an iPhone 13 Pro Max 2 years ago after 10 years of Android. Why, even now, isn't there a finger print reader? Why is it so heavy? My wife's Samsung Galaxy phone is half the weight. Why, if you are on lock screen, can't you reject a scam caller? All you can do it mute it with the home button. The camera constantly defaults to 4:3 ratio and you need to find an obscure setting to make it remember the last settings you did for the camera. Then it reverts back every time it updates. If you use Google Maps on Car play in your car the voice commands don't work. They only work on Apple maps.

[@vimalramachandran]

Note that on Galaxy phones with One Hand Operation+, a Good Lock module, you can bring up Quick Tools and Quick Launcher with inward swipes from either edge.

For me personally, and I only speak for myself the deal breaker is I can't be accustomed to not having the three little button at the bottom of the screen- the windows, the home and the back buttons.

IM HAPPY YOU ADDED THE POUND SIGN, sorry for the caps but yeah these are all my gripes with an iphone, so you hit the nail on the head with this video

[@gerard8174]

This is a feast of recognition. I'm in the same boat, long term android user but switched to the Iphone 13 pro max two years ago. I recognize all the annoyances you mention and can add a couple more. For instance, I'm a text swyper, I just love typing by swipe gestures. The Iphone keyboard has it, but it's just so very not the same. After two years the Iphone keyboard still doesn't know my own name; on an android phone Gboard remembers my name after using it two times. Same goes for the first name of my wife, who has a slightly uncommon name: even after two years the Iphone does not suggest her name when I try to swype it. Talking about Gboard: you can install it on an Iphone, but using it is stressful. The user experience is by far not comparable with Gboard on an android phone; Iphone keeps switching back to it's own keyboard and I can't find out why, and when filling out forms online you can forget about Gboard completely, the phone will not allow to switch to anything else but the default keyboard. The fact that you have to leave the app you're in, go back to the home screen to go into settings for every little settings adjustment you want to make, so annoying. The list goes on and on. Never again.

Every phone or OS has features, someone may not like or would like them to work differently. What you and this guy are talking about are niche features that 90% of users would not miss or need! The 2 really good points he makes here, is actually the keyboard, it is a main juggling between the letters and numbers, however it's in no way a deal breaker, the one that annoys me the most, is the inability to pause video recordings. Everything else mentioned here is just spin and or muscle memory. In your case though, if you haven't noticed the real advantages of the iPhone in 2 years, I would definitely recommend you go back to Android!

[@gerard8174]

@@jackdominiak445 I think those advantages are mainly there for people in the ecosystem, using also a macbook, and ipods, and an apple watch etc. I'm not in, and won't be either for various reasons.

I don't want to sound sour but it turns out I miss too many Android features, and am too annoyed by a couple of Iphone peculiarities, to switch permanently so yeah, I'm going back to Android. By the way, one of my main gripes, a properly working swiping functionality on a keyboard is nothing niche, it's been there for years and even the first versions on Android, like 10 years ago or more, were way better than today's Iphone's effort.

Have been using both more than 13 years (switching time to time back and forth form iPhone to Android) Agree, it's a matter of habit But, with iPhone you get used to what Apple need With Android - what you need Some features much more convenient in iPhone (Face ID, Screen Wake Up, Air Drop etc.), but others (and there more of them) stuck in 2008 without any reasonable explanation. Every time when i switching to iPhone i feel convenience and tightness simultaneously - yep it simple, smooth, reliable, but: Simple drawbacks of iPhone - no categorized notifications? I have 4 Google accounts (business / personal) and my iPhone notifications looks like they are created by drunk Ben - no keyboard typing learning/numbers row? I use my iPhone almost 3 year and every time manually type my email, name, address etc. - no split screen? I use this function on Android every time - no unified swipe back? Conceptual drawbacks on iPhone - multitasking. My man this is 2023 year and when i downloading maps (in Google maps app) and switching to another app - all ceasing - full-fledged file system. I can't freely download, store and access on my iPhone work files, music, PDF etc. - communication. If you have no MacBook you have no connectivity options. Galaxy with Dex and USB-C cable is a second personal PC. - conservativity. 2023, 800$ no 120 Hz, no UCB-C (ok - thanks to EU legislation Apple added slow port )) are you kidding? - accessibility. The question is that Android 300$ phone offer and can do more, than 800$ iPhone Yep, Android too has bunch of disadvantages, but they are compensating with convenience, flexibility and accessibility.

@@FiercyFrosty Why we're calling mobile phones as "smart phone"? Because you need one device for all your needs.

If you buy and use Samsung phone, let's say the best models they offer such as S24+ and S24 Ultra, you don't need an extra laptop, smart watch etc. It's just one complete device for your lifestyle, not to mantion hardware and software which are way better in a comparision with latest iPhone models. Just take a look a screen quality or a CPU power for example or compare the cams, or research about lightening fast UFS memory, infrasonic fingerprint sensor etc. I'm not iPhone hater, I'm aware that is very good phone, but still it's not better than Samsung, not yet. You just can't live without some basic features you need everyday by using iPhone device, while Samsung is simply dominating in that. Maybe I'll buy iPhone in some distant future, but definately not yet becsuse Samsung is better for my personal needs. I see you know about a new S24+, so just take this phone and put them in a comparision with 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max and you'll see that Samsung is just killing iPhone, and we don't even talk about Ultra model.

Switching recently from Android to iPhone was a terrible experience for me. I had not used an iPhone since the 5s model 10 years ago. When I got a my new iPhone, I felt like I had traveled back in time. Nothing had changed much. The icons were the same as before, the keyboard was awful compared to Android, and there were many useless or expensive apple apps that I did not want, such as Apple news, iTunes, Notepad, and Fitness. The apps that were supposed to be useful, like Health, were too complicated and inferior to Samsung Health. I deleted them all. Forget to mention Samsung Internet explorer way better than Safari and the difficulty I have to go quick to an application which is already opened in the phone memory.

[@SIPEROTH]

Speaking of convenience and usefulness Samsung really screw up by removing IR blaster. I used a Xiaomi phone and is so easy controlling all the house devices with the device i already have in my and instead of looking behind couch pillows for a remote. Also many features Samsung is now bringing to their phones i had on my Xiaomi device years before. Like Dual Apps for example. I also have second space where it turns the phone basically into a new device by hiding everything you have on the phone and creating another profile. Is like having two devices into one. There are other things i like that when i had Samsung it wasn't there but don't know if they now added them. Like sliding 3 fingers for a screenshot, double tap to wake up phone, quick ball for some extra shortcuts of most used apps assigning buttons to do different things like double clicking my power button to open the camera or an app or switching of my screen by pressing the home button for a second etc. There are plenty of small things like that. that some years back Samsung didn't have while my Xiaomi phone had.

I've been using Galaxy phones for 10 years now and generally love them. But I'm now thinking of switching to iPhone solely because I've been frustrated with the lack of viable options for high quality video recordings on Samsung phones. Apple now has great options in this regard, including Prores and log. You can do high bitrate recording and things similar to log on Samsung phones using third party apps like Filmic, but Samsung limits access to the API so these third party apps can only do up to 30 fps. Also, I've had problems with focus on third party apps (not being able to focus at further distances). So overall the third party apps are not great solutions, and I think iPhones are therefore much better for serious video work. But I don't really know how good video has become in the native app on the S23U, recording in HDR10 for example. What are your thoughts on this?

Action button could be used better, f.e. one press flashlight, double press screenshot, tripple press smth else. Dynamic Island is just a fancy gimmick, which (for me personally) doesn't provide that much value. It's basically an excuse to take up that much space off the screen. And yes, Your point with notification displaying, I sometimes forget that I have something, because there is no indication on the top screen and i have to swipe down to see if there are any and the sound control was the first weird thing I noticed. Like I get very silent ringtone and when I lock the phone, the lock sound might wake up the whole room...

Here are 2 additional features besides what you have mentioned that I missed in the iPhone: I am in sales and have a lot of calls, iPhone can't add a "note" next to a phone number. I use this feature as a reminder of who has called but it is not necessary to put this # in the contact list. The "note" helps me to identify if this person calls again. The second feature is iPhone cannot extract the call history of a certain number and delete them in 1 shot. They will remain in your call history and you have to delete them 1 by 1.

One of the most underrated feature is controlling media volume like KZbin while on call

[@vimalramachandran]

On Galaxy phones, you don't even have to type the phone number in the dialer. You can simply hit the keys corresponding to the name of your contact and the correct number will automatically be displayed. This means you don't have to remember the phone number by heart.

[@pinetworkminer8377]

But even for the most recent iPhone(All the 15 lineup), you still have to remember?

[@vimalramachandran]

Of course

[@adisoncardoso]

on iPhone you can just search for your contact on the phone app. what's your point?

[@vimalramachandran]

@@adisoncardoso Contacts can be searched in the phone app on Galaxy as well. But you have to leave the dialer and then there's an additional step to either call or text them, which you need to select. Instead, if you simply start typing the contact name in the dialer keypad, the contact is displayed and they can be dialed right away.

All the things you pointed out sum up my frustration with using this iPhone 15. I seriously regret buying it and wish I had just stuck with my Pixel. I don’t think I can deal with it for two more months so I’m selling it 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@MyFlamingoe]

I love my S22U but one thing I miss from my iphone is the notification panel. I can't find a way to disable a notification that an overlay is active. For example, when a messenger bubble is active, you'll find a notification in your notification panel saying "messenger is displaying over other apps". If you know how to disable this, please do share how.

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

I'm Nexus 1 user. Did you try to set an own sound for the phone or notifications in iOS? It's a stupid garage band , but how's easy in Android.

[@theSBooo]

As an android user since the begining, I would feel kind of limited all over with an Iphone. And what about themes,launchers etc, is it also unallowed on Iphone? That personalisation limitations are the major things I dislike...no freedom! Great camera, great build quality, prestige, high price, that's all what Iphone is to me.... Thanks for this great video! Cheers!🥂👍

iPhone is just way too overhyped, i understand some iphones from 2017/2018 can be faster then brand new budgets androids and that's awesome, but if you're comparing brand new flagships android is a clear winner imo.

[@sharpshooter4529]

@@mn1083 While there is truth to this, Apples branding and marketing is the best so they make you feel like your always using a superior device.The thing is some people like IOS and here is why...The android experience is like going inside a store where you have everything from the worst to the best things and you can experience everything but you will be riddled by choice and sometimes buy a bad product...While the IOS experience is more like going inside a small store where you have less things to buy and the prices are a bit higher.But everything is is mostly good quality with very few bad things...I mean it really is like that

[@mn1083]

@@sharpshooter4529 I agree, i recently bought one and everything feels much more polished then my androids. But i still stand with liking brand new flagship androids more. I dislike the thick block design and the island.

My biggest problem is the whole user interface and lack of customizability. I like to try different things, especially when it comes to launchers! Sometimes I like Niagara Launcher, sometimes Kvaesitso, sometimes KISS, sometimes Lyn, sometimes Total Launcher etc. I can literally change how things work depending on my mood! I very rarely even use stock or stock like launchers 😂. So great that I can make it work however I want!

[@boogieboo8529]

Exactly Android is able amazingly much customizing. It's crazy honestly makes me laugh when you said " i customized it depends on the mood" 😂

[@WhatIGoToSchool4]

When you get a notification on android if you go to the app and see what the notification is about, the said notification will be automaticly erased from your notification center which makes sense cuz you obviously just saw what you needed to see. But on ios you have to physically erase them from the notification center even if you went to the app first and saw what the notification was about. That is so annoying.

[@walterfoster1167]

That’s a cheap shot

[@FelipeM0391]

Finally a youtuber with common sense with an opinion well fundamented. I love customization on my phone and very happy with my S22 plus, but i admit that iphones have some cool features too, like the magsafe (that is available for android with mag ring). But can deal with the thing that apple does with just work well with their products. I like to have more options. I have a galaxy phone, with a Xiaomi watch and Nothing Ear stick Buds and it works perfectly, thing that would not be possible with an iPhone.

[@dmytro_mockingbird]

The lack of multitasking, and I'm not talking about multiple apps on one screen, though that is quite nifty. No, I'm talking about things working in the background - I'm talking about selecting 10 items to send in a messenger and being forced to stay in that app and chat until the files are uploaded - otherwise the app just gets suspended and stops uploading. Same with processing, rendering, downloading, updating etc. It has to be on the main screen and you have to wait for it to finish. Install a game and then the game says "Oh I need to download 4 more gigs of data" Guess who won't be using their iphone in the next 30 minutes while that's being downloaded on-screen.

[@L1qu1d_5h4d0w]

never had anything load longer than a couple seconds on my phone except sending some gb of data through airdrop (1min)… I can wait a minute without the meed of doing 10 other things at the same time… don’t know what you’re doing… but I guess the problem start with gaming on a phone… You need a PC… or a tablet at least…

[@Kralingenrobin]

About magsafe... i use a samsung galaxy s23 ultra and found a magsafe case for it online. I use a case anyway, so with this magsafe case i can use all magsafe accessories without using an apple. That bennefit from apple is gone now with just a case. Oh, and the S pen in the ultra, i use it a lot! Especially with some games for perfect precision, but also photo and video editing on the go it is very handy. And i use the S pen when my fingers are a bit dirty to keep my screen clean 😅

[@nasdoc1]

Is it possible to use the iPhone like a pen drive/hard disk? Cut and paste stuff from iPhone onto other laptops (many laptops, windows) and vice versa?

[@JanBreznik-xu4gp]

its only possible if you own a macbook i guess

[@wynter8562]

Alternative characters was a standout feature I missed sorely during my week of using an iPhone. Used to do a lot of construction related stuff so I needed to enter symbols like crazy. Not even Gboard on iOS supported it.

[@bigsimpd]

Switched from the Iphone 13 Max to the S23 Ultra and will not be going back. All your points are spot on. I'm only stuck with the Apple Watch Ultra I can't sale it no one wants it. Android is way more flexible and fun to use than Iphone. Most reviewers have said that Samsung has taken over the Iphone with the S23 Ultra being absolutely great.

[@d4mterro320]

the fact that u called it iphone 13 max tells me u never actually had an iphone in your life and ure just coping because of your cheap financing you've got for that trash23 Ultra xDD

Thanks. You really made it clear for me. I'm happy now in my decision of buying a Samsung Galaxy phone as my first ever non-low-tier smartphone. Because I was considering iOS. But I just found One UI is the Linux of Android UIs

[@RathJ13]

Fantastic points pointing out the ease of use on android vs iphone. Few things to add. imessage - RCS Magsafe - magsafe case facetime - google meet airdrop - quickshare Android has these things, apple simply locks the two from actually communicating. Thankfully they are bringing RCS after pressure, I'm sure they will still dummy it down though. Also another thing to note, the photos/files app on apple being entirely separate. if you download an image to files, you cant access it in photos. some apps can only access files from the photos app, some can only access from files app (sure, developer of the app can fix this by adding both options im sure) but the lack of cohesiveness is ridiculous. Android if you download an image to your downloads folder, guess what, it's in your downloads folder in your gallery app. so simple.
