After 11 Years on Android I'm switching to iPhone and Here's WHY

[@ninfurs]

I also switched to iPhone from Samsung this September it still blows my mind how optimized apps feel and are. I feel like I've been missing out

[@LifezEverything]

I definitely agree on the iPhone keyboard, it should have everything on screen at once.

[@cililocwee]

The algorithm is really scary!! I'm making the exact same switch as you this week, from the S22 Ultra to 16PM. I've been Android my whole life (and Windows for PC), but recently I've been using Mac for work as I feel that it gives the development experience of a Linux based system, with the polish of a Windows system... It just works. And that's kind of how I view all of Apple's stuff: it just works. There's very little, if any, fiddling around I have to do to get things running correctly. As for the phone, since I've entered the Apple ecosystem and have such an easy time synching things between my iPad and my Mac, I've found myself really resenting how I can't shoot something over to my phone (easily) or vice versa. And Apple products just feel solid, they feel sleek and like I feel like tech should feel. some of the things you said, like the navigation problems, I agree with. The UX sometimes leaves a little to be desired, but that also might be partly me stuck in my own ways and less willing to give Apple's way a chance than anything.

[@AlexNaunceff]

Everything that you said is basically how i see things as well, everything works with little effort. As for the small differences, i have already started to get used to them after a week (not saying that i prefer them necessarily but i got used to them) so i'm sure you will as well ;). Enjoy the 16PM !

[@katinasoutherland7693]

Wow this is one of the best switching videos I've seen thank you!

[@agentNoon1]

You can swipe from middle of the screen to bottom on the iPhone and it will act as a "back" button on most social media apps.

[@AlexNaunceff]

To me it works only with instagram. WhatsApp, Fb Messenger, browsers, banking apps etc don't have that. I recently found out that in some (not all ) you can swipe from the left edge (and i mean the very edge) to go back but that is unpractical with one hand (on the Max version), so still believe android does it better

[@Abel-Harland]

@@AlexNaunceff there’s two types of windows in IOS: There’s pages (displayed with a back arrow in the top left corner), the gesture to go back one page is to swipe from the left side of the screen (you can also swipe from the right side to go forward one page). And then there’s pop up windows, these are displayed with an X in the top right corner, or a pill shaped “handle” on the top middle of the pop up. If the pop up window has an X you can swipe down from anywhere on the screen, If the pop up has a pill shaped handle you have you swipe down from the handle itself. I guess you could say it’s more like a desktop UI in that regard.

[@Connie-Medeiros]

Thank you for speaking my thought that the differences are less consequential than any potential compelling reason to make the change. In my case it's voice isolation during headphone use. My Android (Samsung zfold5) does not have it, and iphone does. I will be making the switch to iPhone and then keep an eye open for Android developing a way to call and send my voice without my background sounds being excruciatingly amplified to my callers.

Bruh, Samsung Dex is fire. I have a Note 10 plus from 2019 and I have no problems moving files over. So crazy to hear people say that file sharing is an issue.

[@Connie-Medeiros]

[@Smoldawg]

Anything will take time to get used to. I have been using iPhone for about 7 years. When I borrowed my friend's phone (Android), I had a hard time using the keyboard, because I kept pressing the wrong button when I needed to use numbers. You don't need to press X or < to exit or return. Just swipe right from the left edge, or swipe down from anywhere on the screen.

[@emmafarady6926]

Nice content. Love the way you explained the whole concept. Especially that in this modern age, seem these phone are all capable to doing all the basic things. Sometimes there are few things that keep people glued to either android or iphone I guess- depending on preference. I stopped upgrading after iphone 12 pro max. The difference with the new phones didnt push me to switch. However since 3 months now, I have been trying to switch. I tried s24 ultra, Xiaomi 14t, pocco f6, pixel 8pro. I loved them but in the end I decided to stick to Iphone. Just for few reasons. -how the apps are integrated into the ios Eg. First view of youtube app - looks slick. -with the android phones sometimes the touch is inconsistence Little things i cant explain but I feel it. However I enjoyed the customization on Android.

[@AlexNaunceff]

Thank you for watching! 🙏Yes, i believe nowadays both iPhone and Android phones are basically the same in terms of functionality. There are small differences and at the end of the day it is the end user that decides which one to chose, but i don't think you can go wrong with any at this point in time.

[@tolaut]

Extremely high quality video - keep it up!

Thank you! 🙏

[@lakerskid2013]

The only smartphones I’ve had have been an iPhone for the past 10 years, started off with a few basic phones from Verizon before switching to Straight Talk, who ironically enough Verizon has owned for a while. I’ve had the 4, 5S, 6, 8 Plus, and now I’m on the 15. All of my phones have been reliable outside of the 4 but even with the problems I had on that one (it was old for the time that my dad gave me as a phone to have) at least it still worked okay. I’ve always said this about Android phones, they focus more on the bells and whistles while the iPhone is focused on security, reliability, longevity, and functionality.

[@drakeb6168]

its nice being able to watch other channels with the same mindset of being able to freely swap around at will.

[@AlexNaunceff]

@@drakeb6168 Yea, i don’t care about the company. As long as the product is good (better) for my needs i’m going to switch to any device regardless of who is making them

[@achekholbeckal889]

I switched to iphone too ,my last android are the Samsung S20 ultra that I bought in 2020 , other than the firmware no longer be supported the back plate came off as the glue melt for excessive hear and yes the apps in iPhone work better,for example sending data to printer no longer I had to repeat a few times and the animation feel right

[@AlexNaunceff]

I agree, the apps feel more polished! I do still like the android phones (Samsung in particular) but so far i don't regret switching and i'm actually enjoying the experience🔥

[@papadroidreviews5373]

I switched three years ago to an older 11 Pro it ran circles around my Android phones and beat them in photography by miles 😊 then last year I used a 12 Pro until last week I got my 14 Pro in Deep Purple… amazing phone with hands down the best camera set up I used on a mobile thus far! And yeah I admit I also gotten myself some AirPods and the watch ultra 😅 so the ecosystem is gonna get you but it works so seamlessly together that it’s worth it imho

[@bm1066]

Or just plug your Android into a pc directly via USB and drag and drop files to and from the Android phone...

[@selw0nk]

How would that work when I'm using a Windows PC and if I get an iPhone?

[@calijay9805]

All the points in this video are valid. Especially about the iPhone log feature. I still prefer the s22 ultra over any iPhone.

[@basically_chris]

Correct me if I’m wrong but on an iPhone you can ..for example swipe down from the middle of the screen to go back from watching a story - or you can swipe from the left side of the screen inwards and that also takes you back most of the time 😅I’m not really sure how it works, but I personally kinda never need to try and find an X or a back icon somewhere on the top of the screen. If that was the case it would actually be stupid annoying I agree.

[@TTT-Turbo]

You tested a 2 year old phone against a brand new iphone. Ive hear the 24 ultra has an amazing camera and some other stuff is better also. I have a 15 pro max and im thinking about going back to android.

[@jakubpulka]

IMO the ING bank account bank is designed in a proper way - the security in such application is a must. I can imagine a situation when someone pickpocket your phone then could easily unblocked it with our face by just ranging towards you (it unlocks soooo weel :D). In Android solution is much safer in such situation. SAFETY over ergonomic/fancyness!

[@denzelpick]

I will never switch from Samsung ever, it's so fun to use..

[@60_069]

When it comes to the back button in iphone you just simply have to swipe from either up to down(mostly present in social media apps)or swipe from left to right on the left corener of the screen(mostly in settings). For me android’s gestures are much annoying than apple’s. I think it has to do with something which are used to… you used android for a while, i used ios for a while. Takes time to get used to it

[@adatomruk8563]

Go get a camera if footage quality is important for you, you can’t approach quality of a full frame cameras sensor quality with your phone

Even tho google pixel are doing a great job and only getting better, i feel like the apple ecosystem just too hard to resist

[@nothx56g]

"my 3 year old Samsung phone is not as good as this 1 month old iPhone so this is why i'm switching. also, my friends are saying i'm not cool enough so that is the real reason i'm switching. appel makes the coolest products ever! look at those animations!"

[@AlexNaunceff]

Thanks for the comment but I don't think you have really watched the video. The main reason why i went to iPhone instead of Android is the camera (Log is a huge deal for someone like me who is using it). Second, i upgrade my phone ones every 2-3 years (it is a personal choice and i am in a fortunate position where i can afford it), and i had to chose between another Android phone and an iPhone. Since i am using a MacBook, utilising the Apple ProRes, and wanted something that felt new, this was the best option for me

[@nothx56g]

[@nothx56g]

@@AlexNaunceff also iphones are the most easily hackable phones, android is way safer especially pixel lol

[@AlexNaunceff]

I have a sony A74 which records this video. I want to be able to match the footage from the phone to the one from the camera (which can be done easily with Log). Furthermore, you can record Log internally, you do not need an SSD, however i already have an SSD and i am planning on using it if, for example, i don't want to carry my big camera with me. I understand why you say that the Log is not "a big deal" and i do agree that for a day to day use it is not, but i will be using it in a semi-profesional way (on KZbin as well as separate paid projects outside KZbin) and thus, to me, it is a big deal.

[@Rinnara21]

I went from the s22 ultra to the iPhone 15 pro max last year after 8 years on Android (and 8 flagships). I 100% agree with you about everything you said, including the iOS nitpicks 😂 The only Android phone that would probably persuade me back would be a pixel but they need to sort their chips first. For now, I’m getting cozy on apple’s ecosystem ❤

[@i_roverlust]

I don't know how you said iphone camera is good, most of the top photographer prefer flagship android ( S24 , Oppo Find X Series, Vivo X series) and as a photographer i too prefer flagship android bcz its way way better in Photography & Flexibility ( Full manual control, Expert RAW Lossless, Super Resolution ). Yes iphone has good in log video but its not a huge thing as flagship android is very neck to neck right now. I have tested both iphone 16 pro and S24 Ultra, and Vivo X series as well.

[@jeffreygodson]

Sorry to say this man I think you know very little about Android (Samsung customisation and its ecosystem). Comparing iOS to Android is like comparing a speedboat to a ship you don't expect iOS apps and features to run the same on Android I mean they both have different interfaces and different levels of customisation. I think you have a lot to learn about Android (Samsung in particular) 😅 ios is generally rocking its face unlock feature while on Android we have the fingerprint mostly so how possible do you expect both devices to perform the same according to what you like and how you want it to run? Another thing is you holding an S22 Ultra and a 16pro max come on man you should try the S24 Ultra instead.

[@arijitsahoo2344]

Bro you are a macbook user so isn't it's obvious to have iphone instead of android, as you are already on apple ecosystem. But yes Android to windows or mac is sometimes a hassle not evrytime and for apple to windows, you know it i know it🤐

[@TTT-Turbo]

I hate the keyboard on apple coming from samsung. That alone makes me want to go back

[@aaronallsbury9238]

The reason I stick with iPhone is because yes, I have all the ecosystem set up, and as I get older, I don’t like change. An iPhone is always pretty much the same layout. I don’t have to learn anything new. I don’t like change and everything will feel backwards with android cause I’m so used to the layout of iPhone and it just works so well so why change to something else and have to set up a whole new ecosystem frustration so I’ll never go to android. Also, I have used android in the past and honestly, I just don’t like it

[@paulharrison8379]

Familiarity is a dangerous thing. I must resist the temptation to replace my current iPhone with a new iPhone. It would be far more sensible to buy a Pixel 9 Pro next because I have seen how well Gemini AI works on my son's Pixel 8 Pro. By contrast Apple Intelligence invented news headlines about terrible things that had happened to people which were a complete fantasy.

[@JPK1337]

did the same thing. s22 ultra (exynos) was absolute garbage and I'm on my first iPhone now. 16 pro,not the max.

@AlexNaunceff most Android flagship cameras got raw on it what's the difference You can colorgrade that also and they also have master where you control everything what's the difference That's the thing I'm trying to figure out

[@AlexNaunceff]

@@macgyvermac2344 Sometimes you don't want to shot raw (ex. you want to post something on instagram very fast). Sharpness and overall quality are the same on flagships (you can zoom in 1000% to see a pixel difference but realistically nobody will do that). If you don't like editing (or you only do minimum editing such as a filter on insta) I prefer the colours on android (the grading on Samsung or Google pixel , the grading that they apply by default). If you shot raw it doesn;t matter because you can edit the photo to to a large extent afterwards. Same thing for video, there i prefer the Iphone (out of the camera) but i usually shot LOG so i don't really care that much. Once android will bring LOG into the mix, they will be equal when it comes to camera. Hope this helps.

I agree, iPhones are very smooth! Also, for me android became a bit boring so, although that was not the main reason for switching, i do enjoy the brand new experience, and trying to figure out where everything is and what it does, it fills like an actual "new phone" like it used to be years ago, when you had a "new phone experience"

Camera and spec. Video has always been top on iphones, but these days it´s remarkably close. I do still main my 16 Pro Max just because battery and 4/120 video. But Jan when s25 Ultra is out and 99% will have the 4/120 and then some i guess it could be my new main. :) That´s why i can main a Fold, my Fold 6 is SUp. in many ways but camera just Ok and nothing more.

[@AlexNaunceff]

I think the S23 Ultra can do 4k 120p as well, if i'm not mistaken. Out of the cameras, for video, i think the Iphone just looks better but not by much, and for photo i prefer Samsung or Google pixel. The main reason why iPhone is significantly better for video is the Log capabilities, otherwise, when it comes to camera, i think they got to a point where they are almost the same, and the only difference is the color reproduction (which is personal choice). So i think whatever you chose (out of the latest flagships) you will be more than satisfied.

[@FARDEENKHANQWE123]

you aren't clear enough on the camera part... so the iphone's camera is better because it records video better for you to have the options for video editing? or because it simply looks good? which is it. i asked this because of the 2 biggest tech youtubers, one says the android camera quality is better and the other says the iphones camera is better. i also ask this because its shooting video that makes for better video editing does not make it the better camera since that has nothing to do with how good the video looks for people viewing it on the phones only, which is 99% of users that don't do video editing for professional work.

[@AlexNaunceff]

To put it in a few words for video (basic), iphone is better, it has less sharpness (looks more natural) and better colours (although the colours are personal taste). But for better results Log is an obvious choice. When it comes to Photo, android does look better in terms of colours (again personal taste here), although sharpness i think the iphone does a slightly better job since it can shoot 12 OR 24 MP default while the android you can only shot 12MP and if you want the full sensor resolution you will have to toggle that option. At the end, as i mention in the video, they got to a point where they are almost the same, the only difference will be how you would like the processing of the photo (colours/sharpness/dynamic range) to look like, and you can search for examples online for that. The only reason an iPhone is significantly better for video is the Log capability. If you don't care about it, than just look at online examples and chose the one that looks better for you (without post editing) Hope this helps.

Well because there's so many Android you can't complain that Samsung is representing all Androids even though they're most popular and you can't in the same breath say everything just works but there's more choice on the other side so it depends it sounds like you're tired of not having an integrated obviously to a MacBook whereas Windows is separate but there are apps that do the things you just have to go look for them to drop things in some of them are even called drop but if you own a MacBook obviously it's going to work with an iPhone and the apps that are made for iPhone it's not that it's made for iPhone I've only has one variation and that's a good thing and a bad thing but you also have to pay for all apps you can't just mod them or download apps outside of the App Store so the iPhone is good but your nitpicks could go both ways it really comes down to you're just tired of bothering so you just want to mindlessly have everything work that's fine but you're not really switching you just wanting to be using a phone that makes your life easier but not by much just by preference you can't say oh the war is not much of a war it's mostly just being loyal to a brand however you can't say they're basically the same because you switched because the differences matter so they must matter to other people as well for different reasons it's stupid to say that they both take pictures and can go on the internet for Instagram so why buy a Tesla all cars drive they're basically the same or all EVS are the same which is horseshit so you can't argue both points and then plant the flag in one claiming that it's not really a big deal

[@AlexNaunceff]

Thanks for the comment, let me reply to some of your point. The integration plays a big role in why I chose to switch and to give you an example i can copy something on mac and paste on the iphone. That is like magic to me, since none of that is available on win/android (aside from using a samsung phone with a samsung laptop which i touched in the video, but samsung laptops are just bad) When i mention the android phones are similar i was referring to the integration with other apps being the same, sometimes really good and sometimes bad, because the apps are not maid for a phone in particular but for Android as I system. And a final point regarding the apps outside of AppStore. I don't intend to use any of those anyway as i never did on android either. I feel like there is too much risk and i have way to much sensitive info on my phone to risk it. So i'm sticking with whatever can by verified by google/apple. However (although not 100% sure) there are discussion of apple allowing you to do that in the future as well, due to the EU regulation (nothing for sure yet) Anyway you have valid points and i totally understand them.

I'm a lifetime Android guy but decided to switch Iphone 16 pro max boy I should've waited for S25 ultra Iphone is just medioca compare to Samsung

[@AlexNaunceff]

Yes, for everybody will be a different experience. Personally i quite like it so far, but coming from android myself i can definitely understand your opinion on this. At the end of the day is a very subjective preference in my opinion.

[@njpme]

I've been using Samsung for 6 years and recently switched to iPhone 16PM. I'm never going back, and I was a lifelong android user.

[@linaluv215]

What makes it feel mediocre? I'm so tempted to switch to the 16 pro max from the s24u but I don't want to regret it. I'm a long time android user

Keyboard: install a different keyboard. Easy solution. I do use SwiftKey, but also have GBoard installed.

[@AlexNaunceff]

I am more of a purist with everything that i own. I like to use the intended manufacturer apps whenever possible, as i had issues with 3rd parties in the past and it was frustrating. But i wan thinking of looking into a 3rd party keyboard in case i don't get used to this one in 2-3 weeks.

[@CastroJordan]

3rd party keyboards on iPhone are really just glorified skins over the apple keyboard.

I used Gboard for a while because my stock iOS keyboard was laggy af in one of the 18.1 betas. Horrendous stuff. I had no idea I’d miss iOS keyboard that much and I was a Gboard user for 8 years on Android. I type much faster on the iOS stock keyboard and now with the AI features available, it makes sense to stick to it.

And i just moved to android from iphone 15 pro max to google pixel9 xl, glad i did the switch iphone just got boring 🤢

[@callmeNeno]

I went from Galaxy 6 edge to iPhone 6s Plus as an experiment and the rest is history never went back. Ecosystem & continuity are impeccable. Ironically, Google apps tend to run great or better in iOS . So , you won’t be missing Android. Facts!!

[@Pinkyc0rn332]

OMG YES! I use KZbin music and the app runs so much better on my new 15 plus than my old s21! I would think that it’s the other way around but nah 😂

[@Ih1211]

The main reason I'm not trying an iPhone is that I prefer to be completely different from others and not just another 🍎🍎 trend-following sheep. 😎

[@David-v7b7r]

Ill give you 5mins before you switch back

[@SirAlph4]

skill issue

[@gautamalotus6318]

Wait for s25 ultra And turn back

[@AlexNaunceff]

I will be keeping this for 2-3 years, but i will definitely check the Samsung phones when i am ready to upgrade again 🔥
