It's extremely baffling how much of a grip Apple has on its user base. I have a top end 2022 flagship Android phone with an awesome camera. At a work event last year a group of colleagues wanted to take a photo and I was keen to offer up my phone for it, and was immediately shunned because it was an android over someone else's base level 3-year-old iPhone, which absolutely did not take better pictures than my phone. I think you're spot on with the aspirational POV, as Android caters to both the budget shopper as well as high end.

[@IvanBustos]

How would you send the photo to them while retaining the high quality image? Androids take great pictures but the images get compressed once shared to iPhones. Unless there is an easy method to send it without losing quality?

[@Fojo.]

[@pinakde3824]

I think the only reason Apple is doing well is due to Option Fatigue and Ecosystem advantages. At times people just need less options. If someone wants a new phone, they have many options to choose from and that brings a lot of fear of misjudgement. But with Apple they just need to get the new one or something in their budget because except for number of cameras, not much will be different and once they buy an iPhone they invariably go for other apple accessories without looking at the price.

[@alexyps2155]

No, that's not what happens. We all know that they just buy apple products just because they are of fashion these days for some reason. It wouldn't make sense too because it is actually better having more options to get a phone that's fitting you and iphones are overpriced phones with poor performance. U can get an Android phone with 250$ that is better than an iphone with 700$.

[@RedVRCC]

I actually shifted away from iPhone because I've always been a bit of a power user. My very first phone was an Android but then my parents kept surprising me for holidays with the newest iPhone. I definitely loved it at first, but as I got an android tablet and saw videos about all the cool things you can do (as well as getting into tinkering and technical computer stuff more), I shifted away to android again when I started paying my own phone bill and buying my own phones. I just love being able to root it for full access, downloading APKs to get almost any app for free, and installing system wide adblockers. To everyone who has teased me for using an android in the past. _At least I don't have to see youtube ads nor did I have to pay for any of my apps._

[@28Corner]

The last line of yours really represents us the real conscious Android user. I mean what I think would be a shame for an Android users is that they just simply didn't know how to maximize & utilize Android to what it capable of, like you said, one of it would be an option for us to be able to install apps from a 3rd party source, and the best part was there's an option for modded apps, I can simply lay on some premium features within an app for free if i were using an Android, but of course if we'd tried to work and have an income, i guess it'll be a wise choice to spend your money to actually buy the premium features with real money to support the developer

[@RedVRCC]

@@28Corner I can understand where you're coming from but I have a very limited income and I don't really care about certain developer's getting their income (like google, who owns youtube for example) because of how greedy and anti-consumer they already are. When you have this limited income and want some extra features, sometimes the modded or "cracked" way is the only way.

[@mayavi93]

I don't mind paying the extra money for KZbin premium. Instead of using a random apk and get my bank details stolen

[@mayavi93]

These apks you speak of only slows down the phone. Having been an android developer, i know how unreliable and unsafe they are

[@RedVRCC]

@@mayavi93 weird because I've never had any such issues. I never install anything that seems even the slightest bit unsafe. As for speed, I always buy top end android phones nowadays so there is literally no noticeable impact on performance. On the other hand, the benefits are extreme. I can customize my phone to a much deeper level, install a system wide adblocker, and watch youtube with no ads thanks to revanced. Sure apple might be better for some people but I prefer to actually be able to fully control what my device does, looks like, performs, and displays on screen. Plus top end android phones have matching or yes, sometimes even better specs than the latest iPhone while often being cheaper. Paying a premium for a brand name is lame.

[@nowondr]

I have used both over the years. Right now I use an iphone for work and it's fine and all. But the level of customization and function I get with my s23 ultra is unmatched and I would never trade it out as my daily driver for an iphone.

I switched from an iPhone 13 Pro to a Samsung Galaxy a few days ago. I've had iPhones for the last 10 years, and I switched away because I was ready for something new, not because I was upset with Apple. I really love my Galaxy, and I don't foresee myself going back anytime soon. However, I have had multiple people ask me why their texts to me are now green and why the fonts on my SnapChats is weird. Whenever I tell them I got a Samsung, they seem disappointed. That is really odd to me, as it's my phone, not theirs. Edit: for everyone asking, I just got an S22. I know it’s technically a downgrade and the phone was only 4 or so months newer than my iPhone, but I don’t care. I still love my galaxy, and it feels more premium than my 13 Pro.

[@jcarter5521]

That’s weird with Snapchat, but yo my knowledge the reason other non apple Snapchat’s suck is because they don’t access the full app from the developer kit and apple does. You see androids are open to all manufacturers who have screen sizes of all resolution and sizes so instead of a dedicated app they use a universal android app, but I thought Samsung and Google started to clean this up, I guess not. To sun it up the only 3 things saving apple is : security, stability of apps and blue button as cool factor, but truth is the blue messages is the only thing really saving apple and still the wheels are falling off

[@niazalamgir]

In a nutshell, Apple controls the psychology of their customers instead of investing in innovation.

[@l.m1990]

Apple cares about the experience user

[@2nerC9]

They have perfected marketing to 10000%. That being said, people need to start choosing competitors or else the market will get stale. I hope there is a big breakthrough so this stagnation can be done. I'm tired of Apple slowing down innovation. There is definitely an untapped market of people waiting for the next big thing but I feel like it has to be like a new company with the marketing of Apple while having crazy good innovation and that is unfortunately the hardest thing to do. Not to mention building a whole ecosystem like Apple does around that phone.

I can't speak to other manufacturers, but when I switched from an iPhone to my current phone fairly recently, Samsung's switching software managed to clean basically all the data off of my iPhone. It even went so far to let you automatically download the Android versions of the apps you had on your iPhone. (If it doesn't exist, it will recommend similar apps) It worked really well, and I highly recommend it if you ever do choose to make the jump.

[@eheboi9278]

I didn't choose Android because of 'excitement.' I chose it for customizability. As a hobbyist composer, I can't set my own music as a ringtone on an iPhone nearly as easily as an Android. Apple is so restrictive and controlling on every aspect of their phones, it just makes sense to use the more flexible Android.

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

apple sucks and iphone is overrated

[@TrioLOLGamers]

That's why I even switched to Samsung UI from Android Stock: too limited even if i had the possibility to install any app... I still find iPhones good Pixels but with the fact that they're not Open to install any APK, they are more espensive and they're also considered "for élite people". I can't understand that... IPhones are made to be locked down to fancy sh*tty HWs and people still justify that... The entire iPhone 14 lineup is a joke except the 14 pro/pro max... Their SW update is still on par with the SW update on Samsung (some features and animations are limited on new lineups)... And the UI is... Horrendous... Still Samsung is no better in some things like for example the decision to remove APTX HD but it is just a single issue... Not tons of issues...

[@johnmarkson1990]

lots of things are limited on iphone but lots of things are also very convenient too as mentioned in this video. do i wish i could easily change ringtone? yes. does it affect my purchase? no.

[@GrantsPerspective]

Also as a hobbyist musician and IT guy; adding ringtones to iPhones is actually pretty simple and I got my CENA theme I had on my Samsung S21 on my iPhone in around 2 minutes. Sure it's probably not as easy, but editing and exporting your 5-10 second snippet from a DAW/audio editor of choice takes longer than the process of getting them on the device. There's plenty of other reasons why "customizability" is a think on Android and it is primarily sideloading/external APKs being allowed, and the ability to change loaders for more custom gestures/icon packs/etc.. If you're not doing this, then you really wouldn't be too different on an iPhone, tbqh.

[@iteachvader]

When I switched to iPhone, I mainly did it because it wouldn't deterriorate quickly, it would update for a long time, and quality. My old phone, the S10, overheated constantly, had horrible battery, had severe screen burn in, and had low storage. Maybe it's because it was just a bad phone, and certainly androids are better, but compared to the S10, the iPhone 13 was a godsend. I bought the iPhone 13 with my own money, in midnight, and later on I got a good deal on the budget ipad gen 9 bundled with the 1st gen apple pencil, and bought according screen portectors and cases. It is nice how seamlessly my iPad and iPhone interact with each other.

This has helped bring in more people into the ecosystem and make them spend more money on the recently introduced 'Apple services' vertical

Not every iOS use upgrades like a rabid animal, though some certainly do. I just like my stuff to last. The 2018 iPad Pro is worth a look, as it is almost as capable as the new ones with how iPadOS stands currently. I got one(256 and cellular!) for $350/400 a year or so ago to replace my ancient iPad 2, lol. Needless to say, I use my iPad a lot more than I ever did. All storage options other than the terabyte get 4GBs, which is double the amount of the model I’m sure you have(9.7”). I won’t lie, I am tempted by that iPad mini 6th gen. I’ll get one when the iPad Pro gets old.

One major point in the area of stability is software support. Android manufacturers are starting to promise 5 years. Apple has provided 7+ years for ages.

I do miss the times when Android phone manufacturers took bigger risks with their designs/features. I wonder if this rather-recent unwillingness to take risks is partially linked to Covid-related slowdown of the economy and quarantines. As for iPhone's networking effect. Being from a country where the default messaging/video chatting tools are the messaging apps (WA/TG) but still with a fairly large share of iPhone users, I've never seen anyone actually use iMessage and FaceTime (I'd never even heard about the iMessage Android incompatibility thing before the MKBHD's video on the blue and green bubbles). So I'd say the networking pressure is generally more of an American iPhone user thing.

I think he's spot on in saying risk doesn't sell. There are no new "wow" features that people want - people want better camera, better battery life, and their apps that they were using before, that's all. So manufacturers make just that. I am one of these people because the phone is now a fixed part of my life. I have no interest playing around with the tech - I want it to change as little as possible, because I spend my time on other things. Even apps - I don't like when they keep updating, every time they break stuff - I just want to keep using the same UI... or they release a new version of iOS and there's a ton of needless changes - I'd rather it stays the same. I just need it to work, and get out of my way.

They quit supporting it with even Urgent updates 2yrs after it first came out and since I bought mine late it turned into a doorstop early. It wasn't even paid for yet! My SE3 gets support for about 6yrs. Apple usually has a Security Patch in days when new malware is identified. It took Samsung about 3 months for the same process because not only did they have to wait for Google's patch, but then they had to program it to work on Samsung's proprietary overlay of the user interface. I will never go back just for these security reasons even though I loved my S8. I'm very happy with the iPhone SE. Another bonus, try calling Samsung Customer Service (if it even exits).

The closest thing to Huawei experience is moving to iOS , i'll wait for the iphone 15. The point is that there is nothing on the market for a user like me.

I’m on a Huawei P30 pro and waiting for USB-C iPhone 15 as well. The sad thing is only us will remember how great they were. No other android phone have convinced me to switch in the last 4 years.

i'm with a p30 pro too and gonna stay like that for a looong time, until this phone dies or huawei do a comeback

[@MarkShaw1]

I'm also a p30 pro user waiting for an iPhone with USC-C. Still happy with the p30 pro but the touch sensitivity is glitchy from time to time

I replaced my p30 pro with the iphone 14 pro max in september edit: i think its better to wait for the 15. the 14 pro max doesnt really feel like an update compared to the p30 pro. It actually lacks some feature the p30 pro had (camera felt better, finger print scanner if face isnt recognized, tv infrared sensor, reverse wireless charging)

[@user-er6gk1wi8y]

I miss my P30 Pro so much, if it has android 13 support I'd definitely still be using it. Switched to an S22 Ultra bc it was on sale and somehow in almost all the aspects that matter to me (battery, camera zoom, sturdiness, nfc reliability) it feel worse compared to my years old huawei. wish the phones werent so inaccessible to westerners nowadays 😭

[@rukeyburg1084]

Why android (as phone) feels better to me is because of the app icon order. I can change where my apps are, I can apply my widgets to it (like live Google agenda) and I like the camera settings more. I also like how my pictures are organised better (to me). I like the transparency of technical things but is still keen to the eye. Oh and I have a Huawei P20 Pro, when the P30 was advertised XD

I'm currently in Huawei category went from a Huawei to a Xiaomi and I hate everything about it, now I'm thinking that my only solution is an iphone 😔

Lmfao you can do all of this things in iphone also

[@TekkLuthor]

Apple will eventually get that. As an Android user myself I appreciate the strategy where they introduce new features in increments. Instead of throwing everything at the wall
