When Less Is More...

[@victor9]

As a person who just switched to iOS from android "3 months now" I curse at least once a day on how dumb iOS is. There are extra steps to everything! simple tasks on android take years on iOS? eg. there is no consistent "back button" its either at the top far left (WHY!?) or you have to swip up and go home not back! The control center cant access your settings app... like what?? face ID doesn't automatically unlock to home screen! you still have to swipe and tap and drag argh. then there is iPad os ...... OMG kill me now!

[@reduchimaki]

you can swipe to the right from the left....FaceID doesnt automatically unlock so you can still view your lock screen without automatically unlocking and take you to the home screen. for the control centre issue, either make a shortcut for it or use spotlight search. you're just used to android. should've stayed there. i have no issues with any of my apple devices. and contrary to you, i find android complicated and inconsistent. but hey, you do you.

There are a few, but as I mentioned, not all are here yet. Apple’s Private Cloud Compute is one, where if you have to use the cloud, there is a private alternative. On the Galaxy it’s optional to not use it, but there’s no privacy promised. Math Notes is insane. Obviously Siri is still not ready, but to have it be a hybrid or phone control and external access is so much better than Gemini, since Galaxy AI has none of that.

Apple to me, since i'm not doing videography on the daily like an influencer, I feel that Android is way more intuitive than iOS. it usually gets out of my way when i want to do certain things whereas Apple only now, allows you even customize something a bit and their biggest draw for this year is AI and the fake camera button that some people will accidentally activate when holding the phone but as Apple tells their sheep, thou haveth holdeth it wrong. haha.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

I do love the S24 Ultra. There's so much of it I depend on like the S Pen. My problem with it is that at its price, it's not the best camera on a phone. That said in the US you don't have much choice. Obviously I'm exposed to a ton of the other brands abroad, so my thought process is broader. That Leica tuning from Xiaomi is just incredible. I wish the S24 had that level of character.

[@geniekid7604]

Lmao bro loves iphone😂

[@bikrrr]

3:06: Still not sure why Jaime covers and uncovers the speaker in his reviews. It’d make more sense to level-match the volume of both devices, play the same clip, then switch back and forth between their audio feeds.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

I did.. many years ago. It’s like running benchmarks. I can portray loudness with the meter, and loud is not an indication of quality 😉

[@bikrrr]

​@@JaimeRiveraTechI just meant setting both phones to the same volume and switching audio between them so viewers (with decent speakers/headphones) can hear the difference. I realize that's more work, so okay to skip. I'm just not sure what covering/uncovering the speaker is supposed to do-show the primary speaker’s location? BTW, congrats on going out on your own! Looking forward to this new chapter! 👏

Tuve un iPhone y nunca me acostumbré pero fué porque estaba tan acostumbrado al estilo de One UI de Samsung, aún así algo que pude notar es que el software del iPhone está mejor trabajado y casi nunca te da una mala experiencia, solo preferí Samsung porque tiene muchos ajustes y opciones que prefiero más

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Cabal. Es difícil de explicar. Lo que me sucede a mí es que noto que el iPhone sabe detectar mejor cuando no estoy queriendo hacer un gesto. Android está tan obsesionado en demostrar velocidad que no siempre es inteligente en detectar que no quería salir de la aplicación, o moverme.

[@ifarhans]

​ @JaimeRiveraTech - We need some genius re-design on smartphones. the design and form factors haven't changed for 10+ years. In my opinion, the last device I believe had a unique feel to it while holding was the Sony Xperia Arc S with the curved back design. ( The recent folds and flips being an exception)

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Wow, you're pulling out the big guns. Agreed. I do think foldables can bridge that gap you're looking for, but they need to get better for the price, or cheaper for their limitations.

are we gonna get content like pocket now daily? this is awesome!!!

It's so strange to see how many people buy iPhones in the USA. In my country you can barely find some. Mostly teenage girls (for fashion) and companies (for less malwares) have them, but 80-90% of my friends have Android.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

I'm latino. Same case here.

[@MaheshJagannathHebbalalu]

Have been using an iPhone only since past 3 years. I usually turn off GPS on my phone to save battery. It’s so tedious to turn off GPS on an iPhone. I had to create a shortcut to navigate to the option. It’s so much easier on an Android phone.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Really? What iPhone? You might have a specific issue with your device cause I've used them ALL, and have never run into those kinds of problems.

@@JaimeRiveraTech To tell you the truth, I think that everyone should have both an Iphone and an Android. Don't know why though.

[@MasterOfBating0]

Do you think i should stick with my s24 ultra or get an iphone 16 pro max

[@VukLazarevic]

S24 Ultra all the way bro...

[@ezraken9618]

I got s24 base and it's awesome, i believe you should only go for ultra if you need s-pen, bigger screen, and the zoom. Since s-pen and zoom are only useful in certain situations, all I had to look at what screen size I preferred and I loved the small form factor of base version.

[@MasterOfBating0]

Thank you, 👍

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Oh man.. That’s a tough one. I’d say wait for the S25 Ultra first. That Snapdragon 8 Elite promises to be crazy great. Not that I don’t like the 16 Pro Max, but it’s a major switch, and I do think the Galaxy offers more for that money. Especially the S Pen.

[@MasterOfBating0]

@@JaimeRiveraTech thanks, I do use the SPen alot of notes and the s25 ultra is coming out soon with a faster chip 👍

Why I am getting this feeling that Apple will still stick to 60hz in next year's base model just to make the big boys pro series more lucrative.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

I do think that's a purpose. They give you just a bit of enough, but if you want more, you have to pay for it.

the 60hz screen on iphones is a true bummer but Apple hide it quite well with their smooth and soft animations...

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

I do think they do a good job at it, but do hope it changes soon

[@TheoWerewolf]

Wait.. you admit that the S24 is smaller, thinner and lighter - but then out of left field gave all the points to Apple *for having more colour options*???? Ok - I think we can toss objectivity out the window here. The problem with any "which is best" article is that "best" is almost entirely subjective and unless it's well defined *before* starting, it's really just an opinion.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

You answered your own question at the end 😉. All reviews are subjective. I said “my points go to” because I like colors. You don’t have to agree 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@foreverpure1950]

So, I've been a lifelong moto user and I jumped ship and bought both the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the S23 Ultra. I do disagree with iPhone being superior. I bought both phones as my new job required a phone that needed to perform well in intensive tasks and perform well for a long period of time. I was extremely disappointed with the iPhone 15 pro max. The extra cores really do help on the galaxy as software optimization can only get you so far. The 15 pro max also throttled MUCH quicker than the galaxy, thanks to the Galaxy's vapor chamber. Overall, the iPhone 15 pro max is a good phone, but it definitely fell short, and apples advertising of the phone being for more intensive tasks fell short for me. The OS being more restrictive was also just kind of hilarious to me. You can still customize both phones, but the iPhone is severely limited in its scope. After using both for as long as they've been out, I would never buy an iPhone to Daily Drive even if i didn't have the job i did as the iPhone is just flat out inferior in terms of customization, performance, and price. The apple ecosystem doesn't do it any favors as 1.4k for 8gb of ram is probably the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. To be fair, this is all my experience, and I can absolutely see why users who aren't as power intensive go for the iPhone and its ecosystem overall. For the price though its a very poor ecosystem. Selling you less for way way more.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

iOS is just very different about RAM than Android 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@foreverpure1950]

@JaimeRiveraTech the interesting thing about apples " optimization for IOS" b.s is genius for them tbh. They use their advantage of a closed OS to sell you subpar hardware and price it as expensive hardware. That's how they make so much money they screw you. If they put 8 core cpus clocking in at reasonable speeds, they would lose a lot of money because your phone would run twice as long as a phone with 6 cores. That's undercooked. Yes, their software makes up for it for 4 years, but after that amount, no amount of software tricks will make up for your phone slowing down due to the lack of cores required for the new versions of IOS. It's a wonderful legal scam, and people eat it up.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

@@foreverpure1950 True, and that's the thing. Apple makes the most profits out of the business because to them it's not a spec war, like for the others. They work on being more efficient about optimizing. That's how you keep the lights running. If Apple would spin off the iPhone as a separate company, it would be bigger than most others combined still.
