The iPhone Feature Android Will NEVER Copy

[@alejandrolucas6689]

Hay algo raro en este vídeo... ¡ah si! es verdad, el 100% de las acciones mostradas en el vídeo las puede hacer un Samsung empecemos una por una: 1: "air play" en samsung se llama quic share o compartir dispositivo, empezando por la de retrasmitir, samsung lo puede hacer a cualquier dispositivo cromecast, tv samsung, en resumen, todas las televisiones con las que permiten compartir con android que son cientos de miles si no fuera suficiente ya con que samsung produjeras sus propias teles. 2: "air drop" para samsung también sería quic share que funciona el doble de rápido que vuestro air drop de un s24 ultra a otro además de que funciona con cualquier dispositivo android y no solo con los de la marca, la única manera de que el air drop gane a samsug es que os haga ilusión poner los 2 móviles cerca 3: "text messages" se llama enlace a windows y funciona de culaquier dispositivo android del planeta a cualquier windows del planeta. 5: "instant hotspot" en samsung también se puede hacer exactamente lo mismo, lo único que aquí si que tiene que ser entre dispositivos samsung 6: "aunto unlock" samsung hace literalmente lo mismo, puedes programarlo para que se desbloquee cuando entres en casa, cuando te conectes a una wifi determinada, cuando estés conectado a un dispositivo determinado... 7: "handoff" (me disculpo por la escritura y por ponerlo en español, me resulta más fácil que en inglés) se llama multicontrol para samsung que funciona mucho mejor que la de apple, pero en caso de no tener un samsung, enlace a windows hace practicamente lo mismo y funciona en cualquier android. 8: "comuniti camera" samsugn no tiene app propia pero... ¿le vamos a dar la victoria a apple? obviamente no, os presento camo, hace lo mismo y de cualquier android del planeta a cualquier windows del planta con muchas más funciones de las que da apple. 9: "no me ha quedado muy claro que es lo que estás promocionando aquí pero samsung tiene algo mejor" lo que ya habíamos mencionado antes multicontrol. 10 "sidecar" en samsung de nuevo utilizaremos multicontrol pero esta está limitado entre dispositivos samsug y dispositivos no samsung pero windows, para usar todo tipo de android existen cientos de apps para ello como duet display o Splashtop Wired XDisplay. 11: "universal control" me estoy cansando de volver a mancionar multicontrol, pero además hay "sincronizar con otros dispositivos" desgraciadamente solo funciona entre dispositivos samsung. 12: y finalmente ding ding ding ding, su app favorita "universal clipboard" en samsung tenemos "sincronizar con otros dispositivos" que solo funciona en samsungs, pero si también se quiere usar un windows que no es samsung o directamente ningún samsung, enlace a windows funciona en todos los androids y windows que se te puedan ocurrir. Conclusión: para los fans de apple, dejad de promocionar vuestro ecosistema ya que es una auténtica basura y abrid los ojos a que móviles de 100 euros pueden hacer literelmente lo mismo si no más. Agradecería que después de escribir todo esto el creador me contestara, nuestra batalla será legendaria...

I greatly appreciate this response! I think it validates my overall point though. I made the argument that the best Android alternative is Samsung, and that you can’t really mix and match Android/Windows devices - you need to be all-in with the Samsung ecosystem. But my ultimate point - Samsung is not nearly as compatible with the Mac. So if you prefer Mac over PC (as I do) then iPhone will always be better than Android. But if you prefer Windows over Mac, then I do believe Samsung is the best alternative.

​@@nickbradleyI can not argue with that. 🙂

No way you got the pin of shame

[@iLuseMy1v1s]

Totally get your points. For some people like me, my android phone has replaced my laptop. I'm not even talking about dex functionality which goes to the next level.

[@nickbradley]

That seems to be becoming the norm. I’m realizing I’m probably in the minority 😅

[@iLuseMy1v1s]

@@nickbradley i have a phone and wireless earbuds, that's it. I'm a minimalist at heart tho.

[@nickbradley]

I respect that! In your case, the "ecosystem" isn't even a factor.

[@Blazing_Ninja]

I have a few things that makes me prefer android over iPhone: 1) Numbers on the main keyboard. 2) Little app logos in the top left corner that say what apps currently have unread notifications. 3) Displays how long until full charge on the lock screen when charging. 4) There's no big dynamic island blocking the screen 24/7. 5) swiping down from the top of the screen displays notifications AND quick settings at the same time. 6) You can have multiple things copy-pasted at the same time. 7) It's easier to access settings in some apps (e.g: Camera settings, keyboard settings). 7) Better app library.

[@nickbradley]

No lie, numbers on the main keyboard is underrated. I've been hoping Apple would at minimum add a similar functionality that the iPad has, where you can drag a key down to access the special character instead. Aside from that, I'd say the clipboard history and in-app settings are what I'd like to see iOS copy next 😅

[@VR_659]

Modded apps, customisability, affordability, uniqueness, and the back gesture are the main reasons I don't see myself switching to iPhone. You make some fair points, but I don't see them as worth the extra cost.

[@nickbradley]

There’s no one size fits all, and personally I feel my needs are in the minority. I do hope to give Android a try in the future!

[@VR_659]

@@nickbradley I respect that you have valid reasons for being in the apple ecosystem unlike others who just say "it's an iPhone so it's better" or "Androids have green bubbles so they're worse". Also this video is really high quality keep it up

[@nickbradley]

@@VR_659 thank you!!

[@Abel-Harland]

Good points, but some are a little outdated, customisation continues to improve on the iPhone. These days there aren’t a lot of unique phones, every android looks almost the same and every iPhone looks almost the same (generally), but personally I prefer the industrial design of the iPhone, android phones still don’t have the same “feel”. iOS has a back gesture since the iPhone X, but nobody seems to know about it 🤣 Personally I justify the price with the software support, 6+ years for iOS vs 3 years for most androids, that means you can comfortably keep an iPhone twice as long, which potentially saves you money in the long run. Currently enjoying my iPhone 11 Pro, and won’t be upgrading until the iPhone 17.

[@VR_659]

@@Abel-Harland there is no arguing that android is leagues ahead of iPhone in customisation. All I need to say is two words: custom launchers. You're right about androids being less unique tho. But I'm pretty sure the pixel 8 gets 7 years of software support. I know that that doesn't speak for all androids and most are still only supported for 3 years, but it's improving and I hope it will continue to do so.

[@bupirochi]

In my experience, using a android is awesome if you like to modify everything, but this modding could result in “incompatibility” with the PC/SmartTV/Cars sometimes. Anyways, when you’re in a STEM major having a little PC in your hand is very handy, even when you have a Mac, sometimes you need to install Linux (Ubuntu) to work. I must to say is very aesthetically pleasing the UI/UX of iOS, I’m using one and is very cute.

[@nickbradley]

Yes, I agree with this too. I do think there’s a best device for everyone depending on their situation. That’s why the Android vs iPhone debate is kind of meaningless, since we all have different needs and priorities.

[@CyanHerizhXion]

I am currently typing this comment on an iPhone and while I acknowledge all the continuity features you talked about, I never had the occasion to try them because this iPhone is currently my only Apple device. The reason why I don’t think of buying all my tech products at the Apple Store is because while I can almost not think about a single feature the Apple devices have that I think Android does better, I still need my android devices because of how reliable they are when it comes to using third parties softwares and applications. I do a lot of game code editing and creation using these third parties contents and I can’t imagine myself being blocked from these because my device doesn’t allow me to use them.

[@nickbradley]

Great comment! And I agree. Ultimately there is no true winner in the Android vs iPhone debate, because everybody’s use cases and preferences are different.

[@britishduck]

I like Apple, but one thing I don’t like is how they are so annoying with 3rd parties. Ex: sideloading, banning fortnite because they don’t make as much money from them, lighting port. I like how the EU has been cracking down on Apple but I feel like they are really stingy. Apple does stuff good, but needs to loosen up a little. I really like how you’ve been uploading recently and that this is a long form video with good editing. Seems like you’ve learnt. Youve definitely done you’re research

[@nickbradley]

You make some good points. I’m very happy USB-C is on the iPhone now. One of the most annoying for me was actually the iMessage/SMS restrictions. I’m very happy to hear Apple will be adopting RCS this year. And of course, thank you!!!

[@WilliamPhillippe]

Mate, Continuity is the business. Excellent 👌

I like the iphone because of focus mode and shortcut app

[@LaidBackDeveloper]

Most if not all of these things are actually already available on other platforms.

[@nickbradley]

I address this towards the end of the video, but they tend to also require choosing a specific company’s ecosystem, like Samsung. But none of these other platforms work with the Mac 🤷🏻‍♂️ (I understand I’m probably in the minority here lol)

[@NoobGrand]

For me, its impossible to switch to iphone is because of customization and sideloading

[@nickbradley]

Sideloading I understand - unless you live in the EU now.

I couldn’t see myself using MacOS (I have an iPhone and iPad but you’d have to pay me to use MacOS over windows) but this is a great video and has taught me things that I didn’t know that I could with my iPad and iPhone together. How do you do the SMS messages thing if you’re iPad isn’t cellular?

[@Blazing_Ninja]

Why are half of these just something that links Mac’s and iPhone’s/iPads together 😂

[@Strangerthingsedits3]

Android just confounds me

[@martinpolevka6752]

Have you tried the WHOLE Samsung ecosystem ? If you had, then you would know that we have Smart View and Quick Share. Ofcourse you cant use quickshare with a macbook, buy also the Samsung Galaxy Book with the S24 Ultra, and then you can yap.

[@nickbradley]

I have not used the Samsung ecosystem, however I pretty much end with the point you’re making. Android + Windows don’t play as well with each other as iOS + Mac, unless you buy into a specific company like Samsung (who I think is the best alternative ecosystem). And it all comes down to personal preference. I prefer Mac over Windows, so by extension, iPhone becomes the better option for me. But everyone’s use case is different. So much so, many people today don’t even need a Desktop OS at all. And Samsung has things like DEX that can help alleviate that.
