18 YEARS iPhone User Switches to OnePlus Open

Interested in Switching to the OnePlus Open?
If you're like me and utterly bored of the lacklustre updates and improvements with the iPhone, then you'll likely be curious about the new folding and flipping phones from the Android world. With the iPhone 15 Pro being fairly disappointing, I try to switch to the OnePlus Open - let's see how it does!

--SMPOST--Lifetime iPhone User Switches to a Folding Phone! (INSANE!)

[@PeteMatheson]

Let me know what you think of the editing of this video in comparison to my usual style!

[@BlockyBoyYT]

I'm going to Longleat centerparcs next year aswell

[@hityouwiththatdduddudu]

Why is this “lifetime user” always switching 😂

@@PeteMathesonA lifetime vegetarian tries meat for the 400 time. Still a vegetarian? Maybe to keep that “Lifetime iPhone user” line appealing to your long time subs would be to say why you will still be an iPhone user or what it lacks in comparison. Might get hate from the Apple or android crowd lol

[@jamiehunter3567]

After using this phone for 4 weeks i can confirm this device is EASILY the best ive ever owned. Amazing just isnt enough. Great vid buddy👍

[@PeteMatheson]

Thank you! X

[@carmcarm8230]

Really? Were you using iPhone before?

[@jamiehunter3567]

@@carmcarm8230 I had iPhone years ago but I hate the way they lock you into everything apple. So much more choice and customisation with android. One of best decisions I've made switching from iPhone tbh

[@carmcarm8230]

Already bought mine and totally agree with you!

[@peterszilas7425]

@@carmcarm8230 i hope you are satisfied with your OnePlus open. I have apple 13 pro max, and I am about to change to OP Open.

[@carmcarm8230]

I’m considering switching from iPhone to this exact phone but I’m not sure about it. Update: already bought the 1+ Open and I'm 💯 happy with it!

[@dennisvedda5020]

Don't make mistakes

[@MrGanbat84]

I have been using Open for last 2 and half months. Ooh I love it. I think I never change it. I was using iphone 12 before. I sold iphone.

[@tousifahmedinamdar3657]

How did you clone your iphone to OnePlus

[@ghaithballich5952]

How is the camera on it ?

[@BenAfia]

Just waiting for my OnePlus Open to arrive! Repacing iPhone.

[@PeteMatheson]

Very nice! You won’t be disappointed dude 😀

[@WeiFinder]

Congrats man, I'm also replacing my iPhone and ZF3 with this Only problem is I'm traveling SEA right now so I'll probably have to wait until I'm in Dubai in 4 months, or back in Canada in 7 :/

[@BenAfia]

I’m feeling nervous about leaving my iPhone 13 Pro Max but am, frankly, bored of the iPhone. I had several Galaxy Notes before going iOS and loved them, so hoping it’ll all work out, despite also having Macs, iPad and Apple Watch. Here are the alternatives i need to find: - Apple Photos - to serve up photos in widgets (I guess I’ll lose family sharing - all my family are on Apple) - clipboard - worried I’m dependent on cross-device cut and paste which I use a lot. - Apple Podcasts - Apple Health - Habits app - seems to be iOS only - SonoSequencr - Sonos surround setting control - MyNoise - white noise, app overlay I’m sure there’s more I’ve not thought about 😂

[@avelinomanlapaz2767]

Great video! I'm using an iPhone 15 Pro Max and planning to switch to this gorgeous device. By the way, do you know if Beeper still works until now? Do you have any recommendations or alternatives for Beeper? Thanks

[@MrGanbat84]

Same here. Been an iPhone user since the first iPhone was made. Just switched and couldn't be happier!!

[@NotPascal]

Sleep Token spotted on your Spotify! Nice review and excellent taste in music.

[@PeteMatheson]

Hah thanks! Can't believe I only discovered them this year. Quickly become one of my favourites!

[@DanMacClymont]

Hello Pete, where did you get that sweater?

[@louisefindlay23]

Yep. Love Beeper. Especially on my Windows PC. The nice thing about the iMessage integration is that it works for SMS too and not just iMessage.

[@PeteMatheson]

Very true! I’ve stopped using it for iMessage but android sms and all the other platform support is epic. Kinda think they’ve distracted themselves with the whole iMessage thing recently … it’s a great piece of software without it!

[@anjanaperera7493]

Can anyone give me a referral code to use Beeper? I'd love to skip waitlist

[@RohanSucksAtFacts]

Fantastic video mate!

[@PeteMatheson]

Thanks man! Good to see you here in the comments again! 🙌🏼

[@RohanSucksAtFacts]

@@PeteMatheson yeah, took a bit of a hiatus from KZbin haha

[@majtechtings]

Digging that you shot a bit warmer...currently my daily driver so im digging the review...but i like how you went about filming this review.

[@PeteMatheson]

Thank you! Still trying to find our feet in the new studio space, but I'm definitely loving this lighting. Also helps that it's winter here and I'm also loving seeing warm white lights everywhere :)

[@MasterCamus]

Is the landscape video when opened larger than an iPhone max in landscape?

[@grasz]

I like how you've shows off your 20+ android phones as a lifetime iphone user switching and a couple smooth segway on non-sponsored ad in there.

[@ProjectDefi]

I love my fold 5. Can't wait for the 6

[@DariuszTech]

I'm just impressed with your phone collection ❤

[@PeteMatheson]

hah thanks man!

[@Sriram737]

bruv forget the phone. where'd get that sweater? drop a link if possible.

[@user-gf7qb6dv2e]

Have you noticed any apps not take advantage of the higher refresh rate on the one plus open? I'm very happy with my oneplus 11, but I'm using my pixel 7 pro currently because the interface is much smoother to use across the board. Apps like youtube are stuck on 60hz without a software tweak on my oneplus 11.

[@DUICE08]

That happens on the open... You can change that in display settings. Change to high.

[@JustinDufrene]

Love the phone. My only complaint is the motion blur on moving objects I don't get on my pixel 8 pro and 15 pro. Great cameras, but not gonna catch a clean shot of someone moving or pet moving

[@AuraMaster_7]

It has an action mode for quick shutter speed camera shots.

[@JustinDufrene]

@@AuraMaster_7 yes but the quality seems a bit degraded when using the action mode

[@damianwojcikiewicz3951]

The more years I use iPhone the more I think about switching to the cheapest but next model of iPhone. iPhones take amazing photos include cheap model. I think there is no any reason (I know brightness but it's not a big thing) to get basic or pro model. 6 years is the best support.

[@PeteMatheson]

It's always the cameras that get me. I wanted the smaller phone this year but really wanted that 5x lens.

[@WeiFinder]

As long as the OP Open matches the iPhone 13 Pro then I'll be happy

[@WeiFinder]

I'm replacing my iPhone 14 Pro and zfold 3 with this. My only hesitancy is video quality but I'm tired of carying 2 phones everywhere

[@jopflah416]

Lifetime mashed potato eater switches to sweet potatoes. STOP THE PRESSES!

[@jimbaokimbao]

I was tempted as **** to buy this having owned OnePlus during their previous peak but have held off for the Pixel Fold 2.

[@PeteMatheson]

Pixel fold 2 is going to be interesting. I just hope they don’t then launch the pixel 9 2 months later which beasts the fold like they did this year 😩

[@WeiFinder]

The last OP I had was the One Plus 7 Pro, I looved Oxygen OS and I still keep that phone as a backup in my tech kit. I'm not using it for thr camera at all, but it still looks and feels like a flagship. Dare I say it still looks/feels on par with all current flagships for just daily normal light stuff.

[@DUICE08]

@@WeiFinder same, 7 pro was my last OP phone. I now got the open and love it as much as the 7 pro. Love as in I would've content with this for the next 3 to 4 years.

[@BiSlimeRancher5]

I want a see a dedicated video of switching from iPhone to OnePlus by cause I love one plus

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

There is a move to iOS app. My carrier showed it to me when I switched

[@PeteMatheson]

Yep, it's pretty good to be fair and takes care of most of the data

[@ronniejaye1]

Screen quality and durability issues havent seemed like anyone has made any REAL improvements at all in the durability of the inner screens and the obvious pitfalls of owning one . Nobody still likes to talk about the plasticky feeling inner cover that feels cheap and sticky compared to the smooth and slick surfaces of solid gorilla Glass. I still dont feel like they're any more sturdy or trustworthy than initial offerings.

[@nikolishinn]

Yes make a from iPhone to android video

[@OrdinaryKim]

After 2 months do you still miss your iphone?

[@cheesychester9647]

Meanwhile he switches back to iPhone an hour later.

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

Folding phones are getting there. But I'll stick to iphone for now. Kinda wish I had a 15 but I'm stuck in a 3 year lease. US carriers are evil

[@PeteMatheson]

The good thing is iPhones hold their value. You might be able to sell it privately to pay off the lease? Or do you have to hand it back at the end of the lease?

[@michaelbustos48]

I just traded my iphone 14 pro for the OnePlus open can't until I get my OnePlus open

[@beautyneytiri]

what ? you can use beeper for a few years already ?

haha! If only I could. Even I had to send this back to OnePlus after I'd finished with it! Now I'm sad and missing it...

[@sigarner01]

if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it 😂

[@ronniejaye1]

I don't take much stock in any review that claims to be an iPhone user switching to Android. You either end up getting a comparison of iPhone to android, that which I could care less about or someone who simply isn't very experienced with android. Especially with the small differences between Android devices and missing some of the most important points .

[@Infinitelight8888]

That watch tho!!! Yeah i switched 😂 just be real, just say review.

[@omsingh4478]

What is with these lifetime titles, bro its been 2 years

[@PeteMatheson]

If something works, do it.

The realization came very late, but it came. Fortunately, I never made the Apple mistake

[@kristinatavares6371]

You left you Apple Watch on

and it's not even flat when it's open.

[@PeteMatheson]

If it wasn’t for that camera bump… Better than pixel that doesn’t even open up flat!

@@PeteMatheson that's what i mean, this one doesn't open up flat.
