I really appreciate your honest reviews, but one major flaw with Apple-and a significant deal breaker for me-is the difficulty of using an iPhone while traveling abroad. If your App Store is set to the US, you can't download native apps for the country you're visiting. And if you want to change your App Store country, you're unable to do so if you have any active subscriptions. On top of that, creating a new Apple ID for the App Store deletes your saved Apple Music and other settings, which is incredibly frustrating. In contrast, with the Android Play Store, you can switch between multiple Gmail IDs associated with different countries. So if I'm in India, I can download native apps by switching to my Indian Gmail ID, and if I'm in the US, I can use my US Gmail ID for US-native apps. This flexibility is a big advantage that Apple currently lacks and makes me to come back to Android everytime.

[@yael_valle]

I didn’t even realize that Gmails were associated with different countries, I always just used my Gmail no matter where I was. I’ve also changed my AppStore country to download a plethora of apps and music unavailable in my country and I never had any issues.

Proud Apple fan and fanboy here. I appreciated a lot of the points you made here. I know nothing of Android, so this was all new info for me. I’m surprised that you feel like Apple doesn’t protect the user from theirself. I always thought the opposite was true. I feel like Apple tends to lock down a lot of things and prevents users from tampering with and fouling up things. I feel like Apple wants to have tight control over and ensure a predictable user experience; and I love that about their products. Also, the idea that you would have to spend $5,000 to purchase an Apple personal computer is more than a small exaggeration. Even though Apple products can cost twice as much as most brands, I feel like I get so much satisfaction out of experiencing the sophisticated designs of their hardware and their software. And yes, much of that satisfaction comes from interacting with and working within their walled-garden ecosystem that so beautifully ties together all your devices via iCloud syncing. Also, Apple products have longer usable lifespans than most other brands-and higher resale value. Thanks for producing this video. I learned something and it challenged my views. I think it’s awesome that you tried an Apple phone. That’s more than I can say about myself (I’ve never tried android).

@@erice3525 yeah, his main reason for going back to Samsung was that his phone is a tool and he just wants to get stuff done with it. Ironically that is the same reason I got my first iPhone in 2020 and never went back. I loved Android when I was younger and had time to fiddle with everything, even using custom ROMs. But now that I am busy with life, I have found the stability and "it just works" nature of Apple to be way more efficient. He was right about the ecosystem statement. A few months after I got an iPhone, I got my first MacBook, then my first Apple Watch. Every piece I added, further organized and made things efficient for me. Now I have the complete ecosystem, and for better or worse, I am locked in. I have thought about checking out new Android phones, but then I remember how much there is to lose going that route and how much time I wasted fumbling around between Android and Windows trying to get stuff done. Before I made the switch, I had tried going all in on Google's ecosystem to make things simpler, but ChromeOS just wasn't able to handle my needs and at the time there were lots of other holes in their ecosystem where they really didn't have a reliable hardware or software solutions. So then I went all in on Samsung, but found that Samsung Android devices and Samsung Windows devices hardly play together at all, and it's more a test of your patients than anything, as well as the fact that Samsung's Android is super bloated, and every time I tried doing something new on the phone, I found myself singing my life away on user agreements to not only Google, but also Samsung, as well as having a bunch of duplicate apps preinstalled (one from Samsung and one from Google), even duplicate app markets. So basically I was a life long Windows user, starting from Windows 95 and used Android since 2009, and I had to be dragged kicking and screaming into Apple world. When I got up and walked around for a while though, I actually think the grass is greener on the other side. But thats not true for everyone, so it really is a personal opinion on just about everything.

If I recall correctly, you can swipe to the side on the lock screen to get to the camera, but you can't swipe back to get back so you can actually unlock the phone. You have to do the "home" gesture (???) to get back to the lock screen, THEN unlock it. I'm glad I tried an iPhone for perspective, but I just had too many frustrations with it (does any think the settings app makes any sense??)

That's one big problem I've had with iPhone users is that they are so used to putting up with the BS that they don't even realize that it's BS most of the time. When I asked my co-worker why I couldn't just select the middle of a word I had typed on the screen, their response was " Why would you even want to do that??" Then they told me to just select the space in between The word I wanted to change and the word in front of it, completely backspace away the word I want to change one letter of and retype it. The craziest part has been asking people who have used iPhones their entire lives how to do simple things like this, save themselves don't even know that apple has made a way to do it, but has just made it very inaccessible and counterintuitive. I guess that when people first get their iPhones, just as I did, they try to do things and are told over and over that that's just not even an option on an iPhone and to just suck it up and do it how Apple wants them too, So when they run into problems that do actually have an Apple work around, they assume they don't and just make do the best that they possibly can. Shout out to my boyfriend who's never had anything but iPhone and told me there was no way to go back except for a few apps. He told me He's just been closing out of anything without a back button at the top and reopening the app to get back to the apps home screen. I think people think iPhones are simpler and more efficient because when you run into a issue, they're just is no solution, whereas with Android when you run into a problem, there are usually 18 different solutions with their own different pros and cons and customizations. I can understand how a lot of people, especially older people, might get overwhelmed with having the options to customize their phones to best suit them instead of the other way around, but that's why there are default settings to begin with.

Craziest Part is actually, that none IPhone users don’t use iPhones and therefore don’t get how it works. Almost every problem, except scheduled massages and the green blue thing, isn’t really a problem, he just uses it wrong. For example, the example everyone seems to be obsessed with the most, selecting in the middle of a word actually works pretty easy. Pressing space long, and then using it like a curser. That’s even faster than hitting the word with the finger while typing. Problem is just, nobody learns these things, because after a few weeks the thought “oh my android” was better gets so strong, that they switch back.

Instead of having 10 short videos, I would have one continuous with all interesting bits in one. Instead I have to use an app to stitch all together. Also for the flash, please try to press the button you suggest and you’ll see that when you take a photo it will still not flash every time, instead you have to press the arrow from the top middle to choose the detailed option where you have to choose flash on, and only then the flash will be switching on every time.

It still opens the whole thing but atleast its faster. 4:45 You can hold the wifi icon to expand it and press "open wifi settings" or "open bluetooth settings". Still takes a lot of clicks but atleast you dont have to search for the app. 6:16 You can press the spacebar and the keyboard will turn itu a trackpad, its actually much more convenient and accurate imo because i have fat fingers 8:48 You can hold the notification to show the full message or email or whatever it is without reading it. This works with other messaging apps and its pretty useful. You can even open chats without reading them by long pressing. You can quickly open websites, enlarge images, read something quickly, etc. Holding something on the iphone does a lot. Overall, this is a great video explaining the good stuff that apple got right, their stupid quirks, and amazing android features that us iphone users probably have to wait a decade to get implemented lmao.

About the text correction, actually if you are typing you don’t need to go to the text to click it, hold the space bar and the keyboard becomes a mouse, you don’t need additional clicks

[@paincreatesfame]

I was gonna say holding the spacebar turns it into a keyboard cursor

[@KZilla]

Android has that too, being able to look at one letter you've input wrong and click it is way faster and preferred by most

[@Cpt.Fury66]

With autocorrect and text prediction it’s unlikely that you’d get a letter wrong anyways, if you get the word wrong you can double click on the word click replace and it will give you alternatives similar to that.

Massive respect for respecting your employees and not texting them outside of their work hours. This is something that many employers seemingly have forgotten about with the advent of real-time messaging and smartphones. It's something that puts their employees in a weird spot since they can't really confront them without causing an unpleasant situation. My boss has called me sometimes after 9 pm in the evening, and while I like him, it's something that I really dislike because it can ruin a whole evening with, for example, your significant other.

The flashlight one doesn't put me anywhere into a menu, nor does it allow changing brightness. Might be a Samsung thing.

Cuz having helpful stuff be easier to access, that's apparently an android thing. Though, not all android is the same either. Depends on manufacture, as many have their own tweaks. Like lg has animated home page scrolling. HTC has similar but depended on device, Samsung has/had displays that would briefly mimic the current weather when unlocking, (was originally an HTC thing).

06:14 holding down the space bar key changes the keyboard into a cursor and you can very quickly and accurately move wherever you want or select words (by tapping with a second finger and dragging with the first one). i find this easier because you don′t have to move your fingers where the text is at which might be at the top of the screen but you get to keep them at the keyboard where they are anyways

iPhone user adding to the list: The Bad: - Camera flash: Great, but needs 3 Clicks to be activated: Dropdown - Flash - Activate. - Bad Gyro: When taking pictures (especially when altering position Up/Front) it has a huge problem detecting weather to save the image in horizontal or vertical format. This would not be such a deal-breaker if it wasn't happening so often and there was a way to easily turn multiple images. Instead you have to click 5 times to adjust orientation on every single picture: Click on picture - Edit - Crop - Turn - Save. - Deleting multiple contacts at once: Not possible! One has to open the corresponding Contact - Edit - Scroll down - Delete - Confirm Delete. My findings follow the same theme as yours, making the user experience a nightmare instead of boosting productivity. The Worst: - Apple does not give a damn.

It’s pretty easy to use. - I don’t really use Gmail app but native email notifications will let you long press on it to view more. You can also long press on a mail in the native mail app and it will “pop-up” (technically “peek”) to let you read without marking it as read. I have both iPhone and Android (as a software engineer).

Every game is at a lower graphical quality on android. The drag and drop from one app to another app is a cool multitasking feature from iPhone and it's finally on Galaxy. iPhone came up with the voice isolation feature that is now barely making its way to Galaxy smartphones. iPhone has Face ID and it was the first phone to debut the technology. And iPhone has the highest performing display of any smartphone every single year that a new iPhone comes out. It's also usually the brightest display ever created at the time a new iPhone launches in September. Battery life on iPhone is another thing that has always been superior on iPhone compared to a galaxy Ultra.

It's not just something simple as changing from one phone to another, it's changing from a complete set of tools and habits to another, which takes time and drains energy. However it is exciting to swap around once in a while. I've been using iphones for over a decade and develop apps for iOS. After using an "about-to-be-thrown-away" android device from my family member for a few weeks I'm back in my childhood days of tweaking settings and customizing stuff around the phone, everything is so fresh. It makes me appreciate what both sides are trying to do, and helps me understand why apple and iOS have such a distinct flavor and user base.

Exactly, it depends on how much time we spent on one thing for us to be used to it, and as a person who’s used to iPhone/iOS, it has something to do with the functionality of it, which makes us feel better of sticking with it, the same as Jerry, he’s used to with Android’s which made him feels like using an iPhone is totally different and maybe hard to use at some point, tho, I can’t argue with some of his sayings. (e.g. Lotsa Clicks, Blue/Green, etc.)

but at the end of the day, If I could do it faster that the device I currently have, I would love to switch and re-develop the habits of using that device. Really depends on what you do and preference. Being a long time user does not necessarily apply all the time, but it's the upgrade experience that might make you fully switch sides.

@@andr000 As a heavy IT user of both(work issued iPhone), I wouldn't use an iPhone for my personal line. It's just not as robust as a good android and it's not close. The iPhone does work VERY well for what it does and I have had zero issues with it.

@@DeedlyDood, well, I don’t have any issue with that! If that’s what you’re saying! I respect your opinion ☺️🙏

It’s great you gave the iPhone a chance. It fits for some not others but you were great in you evaluations.

And for Samsung users, DEX mode has been a lifesaver for me. I have been using it for the past 6 months as a replacement for my business laptop. People look at me like I'm nuts when I plug my phone into the projector and start using a mouse and keyboard. Then I use the s-pen to glide through slides.

[@CadillacDriver]

Why would they look at you like you're nuts? It's just technology.

[@joshingwithyahaha]

cause it's a phone, 97% of people use laptops or desktops for work so people do not expect a whole powering a presentation. Most people use their phones for social media, calling and texting@@CadillacDriver

[@McSmurfy]

I'm using it for when I edit videos and need to move files quickly or use the phone while it's charging. I didn't think I needed something like this when I had Huawei, but this note 20 is amazing.

I didn't know about text scheduling all my life, as an Android user, just tried it i think its going to be my next best feature, glad i watched this video.

[@svlagonda7417]

LOL. Same here. Sounds useful!

[@pr4efectus]

Same here.

[@kanezhang5813]

LMAOOO me too. Apple user all my life and couldn't bear the stuff zack mentioned (went ahead and converted to Pixel), but I NEVER knew about this. I needed this feature and I will use it forever now

[@drummerdude123456]

As an iOS user since the beginning I’m jealous for the first time of android, that scheduled text message is savage… I would love that feature!! Great video by the way, probably one of the veeeeery few who can make an educated “this is better than that, and here’s why” fair play Jerry!! :)

[@Ped0772]

You'll have the scheduled text message in the next IOS update, as long as Apple see this video, they're good at copying.

[@papapapa2010]

You can already schedule text messages with shortcuts on iOS

[@Brian-wp9er]

@@Ped0772does that explain the s24’s “new” design?

iOS can schedule texts using the shortcuts its been there for quite sometime now.@@Ped0772

Since I have used both operating systems for so many years mac,iphone,windows etc I got used to them all. There are couple of things that just takes time to understand how it works, but once You get how it works on Iphone its exactly the same in terms of how long it takes to do something. Quick one, on around 6:20 You mentioned that It takes time for you to edit message, instead of doing what You showed in the video, just try holding space button and slide it left/right/up/down and just move the cursor flawlessly it works much better for going through the text comparing to android. This is just an example You need time to get used to it. Nice video cheers
