no, there are just people that care about different things than you. i was a life long android user and apple hater, i switched and although as with every tech, it has its flaws, notifications isnt one of them. and btw, if someone is 100% on one side of a conflict like this, he is just as fooled as the exact opposite, it just depends on what you care about and what flaws you can adapt to, as all devices have some

[@avenuePad]

Notifications are objectively worse on iOS. It's not even debatable. I'd take Android notifications from version 4.2 (2012-2013) over iOS's current notifications. If you prefer iOS, that's fine, but don't pretend that notifications on iOS aren't seriously flawed.

I have the same experience with my Ubuntu Linux PCs vs the spouse's MacOS computer. I think the MacOS desktop is awkward to use. As to phones, is best to get an unlockable Pixel phone and install the security/privacy focused (and de-googled) GrapheneOS. The phone is THE primary device for spying via data collection and location tracking - neither Apple or Google can be trusted. The Graphene web installer works pretty well, but stick with a Windows or Mac computer to install from, alas there are isdues with trying to install from a Linux PC - and the command line installer is just as problematic. Sad that that's the case, but Graphene folks probably stretched thin so they concentrate on where the majority of users will install from. It was flawless from the spouse's MacOS computer usung Brave browser with ad blocker temporarily disabled - best to use a browser based on Chromium. The web site list supported browseres and OS from which can web install from

My last iPhone ( first and last ) was the IPHONE#4. Been with Android ever since, no regrets !

[@YourAnimeOtaku]

Im the only one that left the apple ecosystem at a younger age. I already had the common sense when i was in high school. I was born in a time where if u had an iphone u were popular in school, but as years went by, it all changed to competition and ppl arguing android vs apple. I love android personally bc of the ecosystem, it represents inclusiveness bc it has different brands but made on the same operating system, and it just feels like a pc in the palm in your hands since developer mode takes your experience to a whole new level, also the EASTER EGG of checking your update version is so fun to mess with, and finally every app is so much easier to log in to since you can login with a google account and you can choose which one if you have more than one. I believe that android users represent the future gen of flip phones back in the day since we use the same brands that made all the flip phones. I have used an lg lotus flip phone, motorola droid razr m, iphone 4, lg stylo 2, lg v10, iphone 7, iphone se, oneplus 6t, and finally google pixel 7. I bough a samsung galaxy fold 4 and am getting it delivered today which im excited about. I will always love android bc android is the most innovative and gets me more excited about technology as a whole than apple ever will. I just hate how strict apple services and or the experience is, and overpriced 😔

The only thing that it has that I liked was spotlight search. On Android you have to be in the settings app to search settings, you have to be in the contacts app to search contacts, you have to be in the app drawer to search for apps. I loved the iPhone search feature it searches everything in one spot. It’s easier to navigate in that way. My Android phone is 5 years old so not sure if Android fixed that. But really liking the iPhone in that regard. Besides that I noticed to most things on iPhone either took more clicks then any did on Android or the simple features like how much time tell the phone is charged are completely missing all together. Not only that I noticed a lot of things being backwards. Instead of swiping left in internet, you have to swipe right. Instead of swipping up you swipe down for search. Heck the address bar is on the bottom instead of the top on iPhone. So many things are opposite is insane. It threw me off. So after going through all that the hype didn’t deliver at all. I don’t understand how iPhone users say it’s so much easier to use or that it’s faster, or that it’s a better experience. The differences are very settle and not deal breakers either way. And overall the iPhone didn’t deliver at all with all the claims. I have to think these people that think Android is way worse then iPhone are comparing it to the Android of 10 years ago and have no clue what modern Android is like.

Did you even searched on Android if you could do that? I don't think you realize how you can do literally anything on Android, precisely because it's open (source). On any Android, you can install launchers (another concept that blows any iPhone users considering how much they can't customize their OS appearance) and install modules (for those which don't natively integrate one but allows you to from a third party) that will be able to do and look for pretty much anything on your phone, whether it's apps, contacts, messages, files on your phone, calculation or conversions, internet searches and even do specific actions in apps that do support it, like Maps to look for a place (and I probably missed some functionalities). There is nothing an iPhone can do that any Android phone can't do or can't replicate with a third party app, absolutely nothing.

I agree to every word. I've tried to switch to iPhone for the first time. The device is great, but those little annoiances really add up... so I returned it and got a new Android instead.

If giving the choice to only pick one... then, red pill or blue pill.

[@utsavpathania3630]

no one should be using an apple product , it's like paying someone to torture you

[@JoshPLewis]

Exactly!

Thank you. Apple Vs. A Lobotomy.... the lobotomy seems pleasurable in comparison.

[@WagyuYeti]

I had the S24 ultra and returned it due to fingerprint sensor issues. I replaced it with an iPhone 15 pro max and honestly I'm thinking really serious about switching back. The camera on the 24 Ultra was just far superior to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The camera on the 24 Ultra also reduced a function for me by allowing me to watermark the date and my name on the photos natively. I can do this on the iPhone, but it requires a 3rd party app. I did have a screen protector on the 24 Ultra and I'm wondering how much that affected the functionality of the fingerprint sensor.

[@thegermantechgirl]

Let me know when you switched back 😄🫶

[@RagingBad]

Depending on which screen protector, another 2 things you should do if you go back is to register the same fingerprint twice, and increase the touch sensitivity on the screen in settings, also the negative of using a screen protector on the S24U is that it will lose the anti reflection properties of the display

[@DoritosResidue]

Yeah don't buy a cheap screen protector. I had that same problem with my s24U. Then I bought a torras diamond sheid tempered glass screen protector and the FP scanner works as if there isn't a screen protector on there. Just remember to register FP after the screen protector is installed.

[@aranda5150]

Register the same fingerprint more than once, that should resolve the problem.

[@romanromero5099]

You can increase touch sensitivity on Samsung devices before applying screen protector. Then just rescan your fingerprints.

[@surajraghav1111]

I felt I missed something by not using IOS. Now I feel I made the right choice. Thanks for the detailed overview on the relevant topic.

[@thegermantechgirl]

Glad you enjoyed the video 🤗

[@drakotaz7729]

naaah u haven't u just got scammed

[@YaBoyJon]

I actually agree with all her points

[@durianepicurean]

I've never owned an iPhone and most likely never will. 1. No torrenting 2. No fast charging 3. No apps lock I use and need these 3 features on a daily basis.

[@whitegoodman7465]

4. No system wide back gesture 5. Cant long press to select multiple items 6. No camera roll album or downloads album Can name 20 other initiating things that make zero sense.

[@kirablade4470]

I use both s24 ultra and iPhone 16 pro max and honestly true on what your saying but on iPhone there’s work around for all that stuff and if your in the ecosystem everything Just syncs up but then again I use my iPhone for personal and my Samsung for business/work so 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@trill_is_bliss]

I do think Android has better tools and options than iPhone. But I work on a MacBook and it’s a lot easier to have my phone and computer in the same eco system.

[@20quid]

For me there's two reasons. 1) Apple's unethical and anti-consumer business practices and, 2) their phones just kinda suck.

[@thegermantechgirl]

Yes, also a good point with the anti consumer business practices 🫶

[@janedoe3731]

Your smile and energy conveys a lovely feeling and your videos are truly professional-grade, detailed and honest. Flawless work. Thank you for this video !

[@thegermantechgirl]

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video 🤗

[@Williammaar.89]

I had iPhone 15 pro max in the end I didn't like many things. Return exchange for Samsung S24 Ultra. It is the best, most convenient.

[@slimits83]

Those are the exact reasons why I have never switched to iPhone. GREAT JOB. Every time I use my wife's iPhone, the keyboard and the camara pause feature are what I miss the most from android.

[@netrodex]

as an android user I agreed!

[@sparkylights6069]

In your opinion, would you go for the s24 ultra or the s24 plus version and why?

[@thegermantechgirl]

I got a dedicated video on this topic on my channel. To sum it up: I personally would go for the Plus Version 😄

[@sparkylights6069]

​@thegermantechgirl, thank you for the reply, I'll check the video out

[@jacobsebastien3910]

I luv my Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus 12gb/256gb 💪

[@Manuel-rl6um]

About the back gesture: it doesn't even work like that always on the iPhone. Sometimes it's a right gesture from the left side, sometimes it's up gesture from the bottom (eg.photos app when seeing a photo) and sometimes neither, you have to use the physical back arrow button on the top left corner, which is the furthest point to a right handed person (most).

[@thegermantechgirl]

That's true, the back gesture is on top inconsistent 👍 I should have mentioned that

[@siloPIRATE]

If it came from the bottom, it gets swiped back to the bottom. Generally how it works

[@paulginnetty2706]

Love the videos, Jen. Keep up the good work! Pixel 8 user! 👍

[@ClintGibbs]

Well said and good information

[@thegermantechgirl]

Thank you 🤗

[@sburton015]

Me, I'm still using my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and I've always preferred Samsung over Apple because for me, Android seems to be more easier and more convenient to use than iOS. Also my S21 Ultra has more RAM than even the top tier iPhone 15 Pro Max with my S21 Ultra having 16 GB of RAM compared to only 8 GB of RAM on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

I loved your video, I currently use an iphone14 pro and a samsung galaxy s22 ultra. The iPhone lacks many features that I often use on Android. I'll probably stick with android, although I'm still using a Macbook. Thank you for your kind opinion!

[@thegermantechgirl]

I'm also using a Macbook and a S24 Ultra, works perfectly. Not missing anything

[@annebuckley3474]

Rubbish I phones are more my ney

[@rjff7354]

much consicessly explained and good editing:)

[@Zb07]

This is a great and detailed video.Nice!

[@chrislickorish6933]

Agree with all you say but you didn't mention a few features I use daily on Android that aren't available on any iphone! 1. Split screen view 2. Scroll capture 3. Secure Folder 4. Extend lock [used to be called Trusted Devices]. 5. The flip out side panel. 6. Air command with the S pen..... I could go on.... !

[@matts.4095]

[@ironmangx-1969]

"The iPhone simply missed the boat 5 years ago" 😂😂. True, then they hired a small boat to catch up. 😂😂

[@jeywhistle]

You forgot to mention that in each iteration apple will be adding these simple, old features selling them as State-of-the-art, you only need to pay 1.299 ;) thank you apple you are truly amazing. And people keep buying that.

[@MyurrDurr]

In addition, on gBoard... If you swipe along the spacebar, you can scroll the cursor letter by letter if you need to make a quick edit to your word and if you swipe the backspace key. you can delete a word or all the words youve typed already!

[@rihyoncéastraschild]

I’m sorry, I’m not trying to fight you or sound condescending but iPhone has Trackpad Mode, idk about the newer models tho, I use an older model iPhone

[@fuckshit8208]

The Samsung keyboard has that feature where you can swipe along the spacebar to move the cursor, but it's waaaay too sensitive, IMO. I have a Pixel as my personal phone and my work phone is a Samsung that's very locked down. I really struggle with the Samsung keyboard after using gboard for 5+ years to the point where I just wait until I'm at my computer again to reply to messages or emails on my work phone.

[@ailenostermann]

OMG THANK YOU i didn't know gboard could do that until now, it's great

[@finn_carnivore]

i used iPhones 15 years and this summer i buy Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and BOOM my life change so mutch. i didn't notice how old technology iPhone is. I am so happy, that i change Apple ecosystem on Samsung ecosystem

[@OG_MathManMike]

Finally someone points out the IPhones flaws… regretting switching

[@pedromarrero]

First time here and I just suscribe! 😃 just like your personality and how everything was explained and organized. Good job 👏 😊

[@afrakoma_a]

#Android4Life iOS has always been 4-5 years behind in features/tech.

[@destinyroberts97]

Good video 👍 starting to make me think about my next upgrade lol good points tho I can say

[@dsd-downshiftdave8056]

Thanks for this great video I have been an android user for 15 years, my friends convinced me to switch to iPhone so I bought a 15 pro max, I've had it a week and can't find a single reason what makes iPhone better and all the hype, I'm going to return them phone and get the Samsung S24 ultra This video clarified and confirmed all the reasons I should remain with android

[@dougb3370]

iPhone user here. I bought an S23 with the intention of switching over until I realised that you cannot have wake lock screen notifications (Edge display) that can also be turned off while using the phone.

[@warrenwade8531]

Brilliant Summary 🤙

[@thegermantechgirl]

Thank you 🫶

[@viktorstorelv]

I wanted a new small phone, so waited for the small s24. But two things holding me back, exynos and slow charging. So my question is, are there any 6-6,2 inch flagship androids with Snapdragon and fast charging? Like 60+ watt?

[@techzolute]

Xiaomi 14 is there for you. Others are available too. I'd advise you go ahead with the S24. That 25 watts charging is still fast. And it has the best battery among entry level flagships, even beating the battery in iPhone 15 by a mile.

[@lesburrows8469]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences- very helpful 😊

[@Catalina._]

As a Samsung S user i think the reasons why iPhone is the obvious choice for some people is because it's got great performance, great security, easy to use OS, safe (no history of exploding like the Note 7) & reliable (well optimized apps) and that Apple logo.

[@heyitz_rj]

Wow, amazing video. I’ve used both and there was a time I was struggling to decide which one was right for me. I was constantly switching between iOS and android. The deciding factor for me was the fact that every time I went back to apple it always made me miss android after like a month of having an iPhone. Everything you mentioned in the video are the reasons why. I realized that no matter how much apple puts in their eco system it’s just not enough for me to care lol. I don’t think iOS is bad, but I just have a better user experience with android.

[@jeromecharron7508]

Amazing analysis !

[@thegermantechgirl]

Thank you 🫶

[@failedjokes5469]

I switched to iPhone 13Max 2 years ago. All of your points here are so true. I’m still frustrated by the iOS notification system and the lack of separation for volumes. I’m considering switching back to an android phone, but I still love the smooth integration with my macbook pro because I don’t like windows OS.

[@GoodGuy77901]

what is wrong with the iOS notification system?

[@giovannibucio]

Samsung s24 Ultra is a beast ton of features apple users are missing. apple is like north korea full of restrictions.

[@thegermantechgirl]

🙃

[@annebuckley3474]

There crap phones only I phones

[@janwillemdevries]

I never could explain why iPhone is so complicated but you mentioned exactly the points what i dont like about an Iphone.

[@dockbc]

I dumped my iphone for the S24plus. It's so nice to customize my phone the way I want without daycare looking over my shoulder. Android is Awesome.

[@TheNightshotBR]

Using an iPhone after years of android is like someone broke both your legs with a rusty crowbar, put you on bad casts, gave you a weak anesthetic and asked you to run a marathon.

[@thegermantechgirl]

🤣

[@BrothaNeo]

I own and use the Google Pixel 8 pro and iPhone 13 pro max. I got my pixel 1st and used that for at least 3 or more months 1st and then my GF gave me her 13 pro max later. I have been more of an android user for several years. When I got onto the iPhone I immediately noticed the difference! That promotion screen is so AWESOME! SMOOTH like butter! 😅 The largest difference I noticed is the customization of Android! OMG I didn't realize how much I was being spoiled with that until I got onto iOS! iOS also lacks a copy and paste clipboard like Android! Google Pixel 8 pro clipboard is so awesome and I love it! iPhone keyboard is TRASH! So I even use Google keyboard on my iPhone lol. Yes, that is possible and I was so surprised when I saw that in a KZbin video so I switched to that asap! In the end, I love both iPhone and my Google Pixel 8 pro. Last night before going to bed I realized that my iPhone 13 pro max feels like it's a physically better quality than my Google Pixel 8 pro. The pixel 8 feels cheaper than my iPhone 13 pro max. Hmm..

[@CED.Dweller]

I agree with all of her points on this first viewing. I'll return after getting some sleep. I was an Android user for years who switched to iOS roughly 5 years ago.

[@hombre1mia]

One of the best comparisons I have seen! Thank You!

[@Davysguru]

I have never liked iphones and I will never.

[@Derpalerpa]

Not with that attitude 🤣

[@annebuckley3474]

really I phones are the best

[@TechRide.]

Great video. My gripe with iOS is it doesn't have a universal back gesture and split screen.

[@electrical1213]

Great video❤

[@KeViNTT1981]

Quite possibly the most simple and straightforward point I've ever seen in an iOS to Android explanation. New subscriber here, great content. Danke schon.

[@IgnacioCuriel]

It is actually sooo important when you say that "* fanboys" should not take the comments personally. Thank you!!!

[@AmieJaynesbeautybar]

Great video! I’m switching from IPhone to Samsung this weekend. Watching video after video about the Galaxy Samsung S24, sounds like you get wayyyy more features! Every time they launch a “new” iPhone, nothing changes. 🤷‍♀️

[@thegermantechgirl]

Absolutely. Did you already switch?

[@AmieJaynesbeautybar]

@@thegermantechgirl I’m switching today! 😊

[@AftermathXJ220]

As someone who uses both every work day, I agree with all your points.

[@safeewaqar911]

great content maam... love it. to the point and very informative. i have the s24 plus model. and im loving it. ive been an android user since 2010..

[@thegermantechgirl]

The S24 + is a great choice 👌

[@pradeep2669]

You covered almost all the relevant areas related to both OS (especially in users perspective). Great video. 😊

[@lewisdoyle]

Just come across your channel. Great content and good to see more positive Android content 😊

[@nasserjabi]

Thank you for the video, does this evaluation of IOS still apply after launching the 18th version?

[@thegermantechgirl]

We will see 😄
