Apple vs. Samsung: Why People Are Switching(And why YOU Should Too)

[@TribeofChiefs]

Just left iPhone...again. so glad

[@KoalaBeer.]

Why ? Curious

[@TribeofChiefs]

I worked for one of the 3 major carriers for years. Was an Android user, then iOS, as an employee I was very "bilingual" in both systems. I would agree that in function they're not too different, they both use phone apps, text, internet, the basics. For me, it's what's under the hood of the software AND the VALUE. Most folks says, "Android users just want to move apps where they want. They don't understand the seamlessness of Apple." Couldn't be farther from the truth. I could, in another debate, argue that Samsung in particular has a much broader and better functioning ecosystem than Apple. I wanted better battery life, got it. Better camera and processing chip on photos, not just a bright and colorful picture, got it. Spend less get more, got it. 120 hrz on even the low end of device choices, got it. Faster charging, got it. Very vivid screen with QuadHD that isn't blocked by a dynamic island, got it. There's more but I don't want to type it. Apple is a strong and solid company that focuses on the finer things. Which I appreciate. I enjoy FaceTime, but really that was it. It's the under the hood hardware and price points that kill it for me. Maybe if the company is willing to be more competitive by giving more hardware with zero bump in price, I would consider. And 120 hrz on all devices.

[@cheesychester9647]

This will be good! I'm so close to going back to Samsung. I made the Samsung switch in 2021 but had to let it go shortly after because of my job at the time, real estate, made it almost impossible to communicate with clients, almost all of whom use iMessage here in the states. No longer working in that industry, and instead going to college for engineering. I think I'll have a pre-order for the S25 Ultra and Tab S10 Ultra next year.

I downloaded Signal and Telagram for both of them, no luck, they could not figure it out and change their habits at their age of about 60.

[@mattberndt4603]

​​@@sonofage the reason why switching is hard is because Apple will lock you out of your groups that are all Apple phones and you have to make a new group. Also I recently switched and I wouldn't receive texts from my friends and family who were Apple. that is why it is difficult to switch from aApple to samsung or any android

[@thegentleman90]

I've said this before and even had argued with Apple Fan boys. Samsung beats Apple in every aspect. My whole house is all Samsung products. From all of the Tv's, Sound bars, Appliances, Phones, Watches, Tablets, etc.... Even the storage in my computers are all Samsung products. I love the fact that eveything is seemless with the Samsung Smartthings.

[@MadeByCrisYT]

Do you have the fridge and microwave, too? I'd love to make a video about those products.

[@thegentleman90]

@MadeByCrisYT Yes. Just recently upgraded them to the Bespoke Smart line.

[@MadeByCrisYT]

How is the ecosystem? Worth it?

[@thegentleman90]

@MadeByCrisYT Very worth it. I can take an inventory of what groceries I need from my fridge, and it will send it send it to my Samsung phone. I can turn on and off all of my Samsung TVs with my phone. Both my washer and dryer can notify me when they're done on my Samsung tablet, phone, and watch.

[@MadeByCrisYT]

That's so cool!

[@jarvy7393]

I feel a lot of people who have iPhones think of Android as it was in 2014. They don't realize that Android has not only caught up with but surpassed iOS in many ways. I think that's even more true here in the US, where iPhones are so "cool" because they have iMessage, lol. More to your point, I switched to an iPhone three years ago, but about a year and a half in, I was ready to go back to Android. I got bored quickly; the iPhone didn't feel like mine, like I could do what I wanted with it. The iPhone wasn't terrible, just not for me. I am so happy to be back on Android with my S24U.

[@SamPattonMusic]

I agree! I was Apple only for 10+ years always bashing Android. When I tried it, I found Android much smoother and less buggy.

[@rockyjs42]

Great topic to compare between these big two companies. Many people still believe that Apple is the only one company that has the ecosystem because they always stick to Apple product ( which mostly have iPhone, Ipad, Mac, Smart TV box, watch, and that's it). While other companies ( not only Samsung), they provide you with lots of varieties of products. They have Phones, tablet, headphones, watch, foldable phone, AND "smart housing device or equipment." Even some Apple users still don't know that Android brands have this kind of thing. (It is real.)

[@brazileiro1irock]

I had an iPhone since the iPhone 5 and used them until the iPhone 8, then I switched to a Google pixel left that to use the iPhone 11 then left for samsung and haven't gone back since then. I couldn't believe after all those years, the iPhone was and still is the same phone. Doesn't matter having the most powerful chip in the world when the software has been the same since the iOS 7.

[@blaze376192]

As a s24 ultra user, I can say this. Android has better phones but they will never have a better ecosystem. I actually just saw a video on how app development companies treat ios vs android, and it's night and day. Apps used on ios just work better because they have far more support.

[@bergeandtom]

So not true

[@blaze376192]

@@bergeandtom it's an undisputed fact. Apps on my gf iPhone works better than apps on my s24 ultra. When developers make an app, they have iPhone in mind first, then port over whatever they can get compatible with to android. One example is snapchat early days. Taking videos back then on an iPhone looked like it was using the exact camera on the phone, but with android, it looked like you were recording with an old Nokia.

[@baldmanadventures3059]

That was samuel nam's video you were watching.. you ddnt get the message of that video. That was because of his job. His job depend on the apps that works smoothly only for apple that is why he switched back.. if dont have a job like his then dont make it a basis..😂😂😂😂.. read between the lines..

[@baldmanadventures3059]

If you look at samuel nam's video, it was in fact a stern warning for people not to get trapped inside the apple ecosystem. Coz you'll literally get trapped in a fortress called apple. Unlike the otherside of the world where you have the freedom to choose everything you want..😅😅😅

[@aykutcavus7969]

The apps were the reason for me to switch to apple. I gradually added devices. Laptop, tablet, watch. Ecosystem works fine. To be honest, I'm thinking about switching back. Simply on principle to get much more for the money.

[@jas77277]

Used iPhone since the original. Only upgraded when there was an option to remain on a small phone. Last iPhone was the 13mini which (out of nowhere) stopped working on ATT cellular network. I would have gone with the iPhone 15 Pro, but was disappointed with the removal of physical SIM support, and the minimal improvements over the iPhone 13 Pro. Since the iPhone Mini was pulled from the lineup, none of Apples phone offerings appealed to me. Switched over to an S24 Ultra which admittedly has its pros/cons, but overall, I am happy to have made the switch. This video nails it - "freedom" to use the phone to its full potential. I saw iPhone as having more similarities to a tablet, while Samsung Galaxy phones work more like a Chromebook. If I'm going to be walking around with a $1k+ device on me at all times, I'd prefer to have something that operates more like a laptop than a tablet.

[@MadeByCrisYT]

Well said!

[@kenmwesh]

for me it was a matter of peace of mind. as a photographer and cinematographer, I got tired of crashing apps all the time on android. I switched and my goodness! Now I know that app devs prioritise apple first. my work flow is just smooth, reduced labour times by almost half and now. Final Cut Pro, logic pro, GarageBand work seamlessly together... glad I switched to iOS, macOS and iPad os.

[@sidha22]

That is true. If your a photographer go to iphone. But I don't know why would u even use iPhone, get nvidia graphic card ssd and good software to edit media on computer. For common people, for easy photo editing go android, samsung AI photo editor is really good for Facebook etc . Edits on the fly. Plus you can use your phone as hard drive or attach your hard drive directly to phone.

[@Samanthael1234]

Agreed

[@bergeandtom]

Well, I'm a photographer, and I feel the opposite way. Of course, I don't use iPhone to take pictures. I used it for editing, retouching, and post picture work for Instagram and my website. Apple really sucks. The apps kept crashing. It wasn't seamless at all. Now, with Samsung for 8 months, and what a difference. Not saying I'll never go back. If apple improves to this level, maybe.

[@ChrisJones-cn1ew]

I was an Android fan for years. I switched to Apple in 2022 once they changed the iPhone design and it seemed fresh and new. The simplicity and lack of customization as all Android fan boys keep mentioning in iOS hasn’t been a downfall for me. I need a smartphone, smartwatch, tablet, laptop, wireless earbuds, and smart speaker that all work well together. I first had Samsung and now Apple. For my use case, the Apple ecosystem just works better. Not to mention the numerous 3rd party accessories and resale value.

[@Aitchammad]

[@ljacobs357]

I switched years ago because Samsung devices allow me to customize their devices to my needs. Currently I have the Z Flip 5 for use in US, a S24 for business and international travel, Samsung Watch 6 and Tab S9 tablet. Quite happy with it. I find iOS frustrating to use and inflexible. Apple seems content to lock in their loyal base so they have quit innovating.

[@MadCheese1337]

been on android and ios systems, currently on ios again, another thing you have to keep in mind due to android being so open its more prone to malware etc. i've seen quite a few android phones which were infected with malware opening random apps and browser windows. the reason why i've been using iphone more is due to the consistent revisioning of the ios system. due to android having so many manufacturers sometimes you have all kinds of android v9 to v15 running on those phones and tablets. another reason for some is that apple products retain their resale value higher longer than any other device so you can still get decent money for a iphone a year or so later compared to a samsung that lost its value way faster after a year. the only reason why anyone would have to switch from apple to samsung/android is the customiseability and the app prices. the customiseability will be finally alleviated with ios18, whereas the app prices will still be a problem due to the 30% apple tax.

Good info, it's not even just Samsung on the ecosystem, now most phones and other devices and brands work well with other and offer more overall functionality and choice than the so called Apple Ecosystem. Really it's about options and abilities vs restrictions. If Apple was really that good at product's they'd shine in the same way, but they don't play that game, hence all the anti competitive action against them.

Where is the broad innovation? I simply used Xiaomi as example because of the broad product offering to relative small size. Heck Apple failed to even bring an EV to market outside of the concept stage, you know which company has produced a EV too market without the 30 billion R&D. Apple are foremost a Marketing company with a limited range of tech products. They are a status and fashion symbol for many in some cultures.

Just sell your Samsung after two years of use, than the difference will be clear. Iphone has a higher retail value after use. And when it comes to Apple or Android, its just what you like. I like Iphone because of the simple and effective use. Also the biometrics for me work so much better. For android, i used the S23 Ultra untill it dropped on the floor last month (i sold in in with a cracked screen and im making up my mind what to buy next, untill that time i use my Iphone 13) My exp on android was just great tbh, esp the Ai and camera on the S23 Ultra are just amazing for me . I didnt use a Apple 15 Pro Max (would be my next choice) so i can not realy compare both phones.

[@BalkanDrifters]

Nice video. I don't usually comment that much but I wanted to leave some of my views here I have noticed that majority of people who moved from x platform to y platform tend to be people who spent 5+ years on x platform before moving to y platform. iOS users spend 5+ years using apple products and after a while get annoyed at lack of new features and customization and their curiosity for another platform wildly increases and they move to Android. Unless they are from America (due to iMessage) they tend to stay there and rarely come back. However vice-versa is also happening. People like me who spent 5-10+ years on Android enjoying all the customization, rooting, features, bonuses like from Samsung when buying stuff, etc. we are always a bit curious what's on the other side (iOS). Throughout time we notice that no matter how many features we have we start using less and less or they just don't have the same hit like when we were in the beginnings of tinkering with Android. This also appeals when we start aging in real life, we have less time and willpower to tinker and we just want a device which optionally can have lots of features but our main point becomes the simplicity, working out of the box, minimal if not any tinkering at all. Combined with that thinking, we try iOS which just works out of the box, we maybe once tinker with settings and that's it, everything is almost flawless from there on. To conclude, it seems that people who grow up with lack of features get interested in more features and tinkering and move to Android, and those who become overwhelmed with so many features and things want to go to simpler thing so they can focus on other matters.

[@MadeByCrisYT]

I really like your point of view. The 5-year mark seems to be pretty accurate, with the vast majority of people moving from one system to another. I think the issue is, apart from the OS, the design. Companies are not changing designs drastically anymore, and this creates some sort of "fatigue," which I think pushes people to something different. For me, this can be easily resolved by adding different form factors (i.e., foldables).

[@cuz129]

I have three Samsung Galaxy devices, the z Fold 5, the Tab S8 Ultra and the Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360. Being able to use my mouse and keyboard on all three during Zoom calls. Using the Tab as a second screen for my Book 5 laptop. Sending messages and receiving on all three. Having photos and Samsung Notes sync on all three. It just makes it fun and easy. And I got huge discounts and trade in's on all three devices.

Watched that video. I actually started to think about switching from Apple to Samsung as closest competitor with them, but what keeps me still back and unsure is some things, which I am afraid that nobody in videos is telling. Is Samsung capable to make backup of your phone and applications as Apple do? I am able to fully restore iOS with all applications settings and configurations as it was before the restore point for ~40min. Then I can continue using everything without the hassle. Is this possible now with Android and Samsung? Now the cons. If you use iPhone as hotspot it is heating up a lot, which is causing fast battery drain and damage by the temperature. In case it is connected to charger and you need to use your phone to browse during hotspot is enabled, then you get as bonus more temperature rise and you can't hold it normally, because of that heat. The other negative temperature test is to have enabled hotspot, and make video streaming call on Viber, Messenger, whatever with camera call capable software. The phone cannot be hold in hand after 4min. How the S23/24U compares to that? Do they heat so much in same tests? What happens if I want to use the Dex feature of Samsung? I must connect it to charger by the docking station, will it heat up then a lot? May I use it normally? Nobody shares thoughts and makes reviews in more professional use of Samsung or the rest Android phones. Maybe Author can make an extra video showing that points? The more tech use of Samsung.

outside of US imessage is not even used that much, they don't understand ecosystems either. most ppl who look for a phone and have money go for iphone cuz its the mainstream phone, the one that everyone uses and the one that rich ppl use, when they want to get a computer, they go for apple for that same reason, they want a watch, they fo for apple. when ppl have $1000+ they never go for an Android for that price, when they have $400 they can't go for an iphone so they get a cheap android which lags, takes bad pics and is overall bad. when they get that money, they buy iphone and think that its the best comparing it to the $400 one. naturally average user gets the idea that iphone is better cuz they never used an expansive Android. that's why everyone uses apple over androids.

The video is about why people switch from Apple to Samsung and why you should too. The main reason is that Samsung offers a lot of discounts and offers, while Apple rarely does. Another reason is that Samsung has a much larger ecosystem of products, including fridges, washing machines, TVs, and more. This means that you can future-proof yourself by buying into the Samsung ecosystem and not get bored with the same design or form factor. Finally, Samsung offers more freedom and customization than Apple, both in terms of the devices you can use and the operating system itself.

[@Sierra-Yankee]

Having owned the 13 pro for a couple of years since launch, at the start of this year I switched to the S23 ultra. I’ve now switched back and using the 15 pro max. First of all the S23 is a fantastic phone and the display is far superior compared to the 15 pro max which looks dull in comparison lol - the AI on the S23 is impressive as well! It’s all down to what you prefer, and for me it’s iOS. It’s smoother and Face ID is flawless, Apple Pay is better than google pay. Using fingerprint recognition seems a step backwards! I know it’s on the S23 but it’s hit and miss. Also found my video doorbell notifications and others were delayed on the S23 yet on iOS it’s almost instant. Facebook badge notifications don’t show on android for some reason? Having the Apple Watch means I needed an iPhone. I like the way I can look back at my pictures/videos and see where I’ve been over the years when travelling in the photo app, I’m sure this is available on android but could this be integrated between the two platforms? If I could and justify it, I’d have my iPhone in one pocket and an S24 ultra in the other 😂👍

[@Manny13z]

Your thoughts really resonate with me. You’ve nailed it. I’ve been a loyal Apple customer for as long as I can remember, but recently, I decided to make the switch to the Samsung Z Fold 6. It was a tough decision because I was so deeply entrenched in the Apple ecosystem-or, as I now see it, the Apple “prison.” What pushed me over the edge was the sheer boredom with the iPhone, which has barely evolved since its debut in 2007. Sure, it’s got bigger, better screens and cameras, but the same basic form factor has grown stale. And then there’s Apple’s controlling nature-how they intentionally limit their technology to keep users locked into their ecosystem and protect their other products. Now that I’ve made the switch, I’m loving the Z Fold 6. The freedom it offers, from multitasking to Samsung Dex, has really boosted my productivity. The S-Pen has become indispensable, and the fact that I no longer need to carry both an iPhone and an iPad mini for note-taking is a game changer. Even simple things, like choosing my default PDF viewer, which you can’t do on an iPhone or iPad, make a big difference. Since making the switch, I feel liberated. All the negative things I’d heard about Android turned out to be nothing more than Apple’s smoke and mirrors.

[@MadeByCrisYT]

[@MaDKrEvEdKo]

I think that this ecosystem talk is getting a bit overplayed in terms of software as of 2024. Software ecosystem is what Apple uses and enforces to keep users tied up with their products. For example, lots of Google apps are on the Apple App Store, but not the other way around. The only thing forcing Apple to change in major ways for user convenience (Alternative Markets, USB-C) is government regulation. Anyway, back to the point. Most apps that you may need access to on multiple devices (like note apps) have web and app clients that sync to the cloud. What I enjoy about Android in general (and Android market is vast, people shouldn't just look to Samsung for the Android experience) is that you are not FORCED into ANY SINGLE ecosystem. You can do a Google ecosystem with Keep, Calendar, etc, you can do a Xiaomi ecosystem, you can do a Samsung ecosystem, or you can use apps that feel better out of these "ecosystems" or mix them together with different devices. It works just fine. You are not forced into buying a Samsung watch if you own a Samsung. You can get any watch you want and it will work just fine. You are free to do whatever you want on the phone that you paid for, and you can do it the way you want. For example, samsung smart appliances can easily be synced with Xiaomi phones using the SmartThings app. As for the hardware...I don't even feel the need to say anything about how technolocically backwards most Apple devices are for their price. I mean, 60hz displays on base iPhone 15s? There are Android phones costing basically nothing compared to iPhones that have 120hz displays. 120hz in 2024 is not a pro feature. It's baseline functionality. But people buy the technologically inferior products year to year because they believe in some ecosystem that barely exists and has minimal benefits with major limitations, and are not willing to leave because they need to be sold an ecosystem, not the freedom to do what you want and how you want. Bruh.

The S24 switched back to the straight edges, which means regular screen protectors work now. And even a year and a half in, the s23 ultra battery life for me is all day still with only 1 hour charge.

[@peterparker2068]

As a tech enthusiast, I appreciate the strengths of both Android and iOS ecosystems. Samsung, in particular, seems to offer attractive loyalty programs and upgrade incentives for their customers. For example, their recent increase in base storage capacity and extended software support are positive developments. It took Apple a long time to bump ups storage from 64GB to 128GB in 2021 where as similar Android phones had that amount of base storage earlier. On the other hand, Apple's historical reluctance to increase base storage and shorter software support compared to Samsung can be seen as less customer-friendly practices. When it comes to power user features, Samsung's flagship phones with desktop mode offer functionality that some might find preferable for replacing a traditional computer, especially compared to some limitations of the iPad Pro.

[@perfecttroubler1767]

Everything is on point except for software support. How did samsung have longer support?

[@peterparker2068]

@@perfecttroubler1767 While the exact details can vary depending on the model, Apple typically offers software support for their devices for around six years. There isn't an official statement announcing a specific timeframe, but they usually maintain compatibility with their latest operating systems for that duration. Samsung recently announced at their keynote that the S24 series will receive software support for seven years. This is a positive change for Samsung users, and it remains to be seen if this extended support will become the standard for their future devices. Overall, both Apple and Samsung are committed to providing extended software support for their smartphones. The specific length of support can vary by manufacturer and device model. The last update for iPhone X was in 2023 which makes it an six year run: released in 2017. I don't exactly but I traded in my iPhone Xs last year because it was either running out of support o would have been. I do internet banking ect on my phone so I wanted the piece of mind. I don't remember the chart or where to go but I remember someone listed all the last software support dates and all the older iPhone supports ended around the year six mark. Of course of the extremely old devices like iPad 2 got like two years of software updates.

[@simpledanman]

I swapped over entirely myself recently. I get bored of phones easily, to be fair, but my problem with iphone is that the gap between the brands is closing really rapidly and samsung now offers a VERY comparable experience to iOS. And apple doesn't innovate at all. All of their products work the same and feel the same and mostly look the same. They've been releasing the same looking iphone every year since the iPhone X came out for the most part with very minor changes. It is boring. Their UI is the same for the most part, their function is the same for the most part, and there isn't a big incentive to upgrade to the new one every year, as you can go and get an old iphone like the 13 model or even the 11 or 12, and if battery health is good it'll feel the same day to day as the brand new iphone. Its just not an exciting experience for me any longer.

[@trevonpotts1605]

The issue to me is that most Samsung users don’t REALLY know how to customize an Iphone, and most Iphone users are too stuck in their ways to admit that Samsung makes a good device. Ive been a devout Iphone user since the 4. Had an Iphone since I graduated HS 12 years ago.. Its a really good phone, that you CAN customize, it just doesn’t come with the options right out the box like a Samsung phone does. Iphone makes you download alot of different apps to customize your experience which is fine.
