[@bwell01]

Misinformation, marketing, kids, walled garden, legacy. Those are the real reasons Apple dominates in the US. They don't innovate anymore, and every premier feature they've released in recent years has come from the competition.... the hardware (besides processor) is behind and, if apple users were honest, they have the same hiccups with software. Apple has won over the youth with misinformation, and yesterdays misinformed youth is who drives todays smartphone market. They do make it hard to leave and as we see with the current lawsuits being filed by whole countries their business practices are calculated and decidedly underhanded. In androids early days apple was able to establish the notion of Android being an inferior product (and back then it was) and Android hasnt done a good job at showing how times have changed as the software has changed and experience has grown positive. Owning both I can say my current Android (S24U) shits on my 15PM in so many ways. There are things I can do on the S24 that you cant do anywhere in the Apple ecosystem and that spells win for me. Samsung has beaten apple since the Notee 20 series imo.

The argument of "multi tasking" as being Androids only defense is SO dated. Android has evolved to be MUCH MORE than that. The software is so much more polished, coupled with companies like Samsung making an EXCELLENT ecosystem.

only 5 minutes in but I'll say from my own experience owning the iPhone 11PM, 13PM, 14PM, 15PM ... they have ALL lagged in the most detrimental way when I needed it the most, let's not forget that since the 13, photos have been plagued with this HDR painting over sharpening look. The S23 ultra also failed me with random lag when I needed it most.. I'm now on the S24 ultra and so far haven't had any random freezing, yet.. also with that being said, I don't trust cloud storage so I use a Crucial x9 pro SSD to backup locally.

I agree with much of this video, EXCEPT where the abuse of Apple's Ecosystem deliberately degridates text photo & video quality from Android friends to Apple users. You're suppose to be better by making a superior product & service, NOT by degrading interactions between competitors. I'm also a huge advocate for "right to repair" legislation, allowing anyone to easily perform repairs & obtain parts for Apple products, just as they can for all Android & Microsoft. IMO.

[@Silverripples]

The eco system conversation is nice but when you use your iphone as a solo product it is behind android, features we had on android always appear years later for iphone. Ease of usage is also way easier on android than iphone, it is a misconception that IOS is easy to use, things are all over the place and buttons and gestures are not common with in each app.

"I'm just a fan of tech, I'm not a fan of a brand." This is the best line in this video! I use Android phones, Ipad, Windows, and Linux on Raspberry Pi. I use what works best for the task I am using it for. I disagree from personal experience on some of your points, but the fact you acknowledge your bias makes all the difference. I used to be more bias on tech than I am now. HP printers used to be the best you could get, then they went to trash. This killed 90% of my bias, so now I test things. I tried both Android Auto and Apple Car Play, and hated car play. I tried both Android tablets and Ipad and hated the tablets. Saying one brand is better because of the brand is simply short sighted and wrong. Apple IS doing better because bias and not because they are actually better.

Nice video. Thanks, I feel it the same. Also, notice that Samsung, the champion of Android, is a mixture of 3 app ecosystems by default: Samsung, Google, and Microsoft apps. For example, people who would prefer to use primarily Google apps on Samsung are forced to sync Samsung Gallery photos to Microsoft OneDrive because there is no option to seamlessly sync them to Google Drive. It is simply not possible to fully align the app ecosystem on Samsung, as Samsung does not want its users to switch entirely to Google apps, as the 2 companies are competitors. It is a pity.

Best comparison video I've seen you do CJ. And i say that because i feel like you removed a lot of the biases you have during the comparison (not all im sure you know). The in person support and parental controls was probably the most compelling topics for me. But to the final point, I personally feel the dominance of Apple isnt just to bias or preference. I been with samsung since the flip phone days, never liked Apples approach to their consumers but I've taken time to understand why their consumers prefer their products and respect that. But what Ive noticed is Apple has a strong hold not just for biases, but because they punish their users for other people not having Apple products. Just this week I got shunned in the group chat for not having one. The proof is that 87% of teens having it and credit that to the blue bubble issue. Then you have the US and EU both suing Apple over it. Both explicitly quoting their predatory practices and highlighting Apples internal emails saying iMessage is how they are going to force people to stay or get other people to join. Even CKid and the other brotha directly alluded to iMessage and how communicating with someone outside of that is hard or undesireable. We know Apple did that by design because they admitted it in public and in private. The other issue is most people I know havent had an Android in 10+ years and still think the experience hasn't changed. Thankfully you addressed that but people really do believe it. But to wrap up, good take as always. Looking forward to what you got planned next

[@DeAndreEllison]

you could have lead with the end...i know I know views, minutes watched, etc etc,. but really at this point in the game it's preference. My wife had an iPhone for a couple years... watch and all.. she had problems with things breaking after their "seamless" updates.. apps not working, last watch connectivity... etc etc, she didn't like having to go to an apple store for support and standing in line for things that you could easily fix in android... yeah its in person but it consumes more time.. she had problem getting carplay to work at times..the devices were more expensive... the problems weren't unique to apple products... and that was the problem.. premium product... same issues. For me, I'm not into the ecosystem thing so much.. having all your eggs in one basket... not the way I like to go. I prefer some segmentation in my products but can work together where I choose for them to. and for that, i'd like my products to work the same with whatever systems I choose. I like to choose what software I use on the PC and not worry about if it's mac compatible (interesting that's the opposite of the app situation). I'm not a social butterfly, so I don't use facebook, Instagram snapchat or tik tok heavily if at all I don't have chat groups... so it's a different use case for me and the iPhone people I know... and just to get it because "everyone else has it" ... not a valid reason for me... and you want to talk communication? I used to carry nextel and blackberry's. Yes, Apple beat them out when I was telling iPhone users that my blackberry had the feature they just got for years.... .... but there is nothing that iPhone uniquely offers me that I would use. Family... android has that.. screen time limits, app limits, location, contacts, sharing .. yada yada..... been using it for years.. yes, there is Bias, but there is also use case, marketing, and peer pressure.

There's so much whackness with Samsung customer support. Reps aren't on the same page with inconsistent statements and are just all over the place. Without customers they wouldn't be Samsung. They have a lot of third party people handling their trade-in phone program and it can be very hard at times to get a hold of them. I've heard and read a lot of horror stories about their customer service. Also there's no Samsung store close to me. Closest one in SoCal is Glendale and I'm in south Orange County, over an hour away. I pass by many Apple Stores just to get to that 1 Samsung store. Sorry to rant but just sharing my random 2 cents.

[@GrayGhostDog1]

I'm afraid to say that CJ has made a lot of valid points. My mother could use the iPhone I gave her, but when I replaced it with a flagship Android phone she barely touched it... was using Android Auto for several years, but Apple CarPlay is extremely well implemented... what I truly missed once I went to Android devices and opted for Windows-based computers was the ecosystem and the seamless app integration. That ecosystem is a huge positive, but for me it's not the only positive. The typical bias across different platforms will ALWAYS creep into the debate, no matter what we say or do. No one is forced to stay within ANY platform or ecosystem. I still use a few Android-based devices(Sony/Android TV, Nest Hub, Nest Doorbells, Nest Cameras, Nest Protect Smoke/CO Alarms, speakers, and lights), but just like anything there may be a chance of products losing support over time.

My first phone ever was an android, so it wasn’t a bias like many point out “oh, you’ve only ever owned iPhone that’s why you don’t like android” is what I get told a lot. I could always appreciate both but I leaned more towards android simply because of customizabilty and the free source vibe that they have. They just allow way more things. Then I got an iPhone an I really liked it but it didn’t feel like a big change, everything the android has I didn’t find myself missing too much. Them I decided to switch back over because I liked the design of the s23 ultra and I wanted to try something new. I got used to new android quick and it was pretty cool experience until I started experiencing the downside. The BIGGEST downside for me was google pay, it is just awful and it would work 1/3 times and I don’t mean that I had to tap 3 times for it to work, I mean that the times it wouldn’t work I was simply screwed, as I usually use it when I forget my wallet or don’t have cash on me. It’s embarrassing honestly but it wasn’t enough for me to want to switch back just yet. The second thing was pictures and videos through SMS. Even though it is largely regarded as an issue that apple itself has created in order to discourage people from switching to android, whether or not they’re responsible is not important to me, I just want it to work and 100 times out of 100 it would not work, the videos would be compressed and so would pictures. Lastly, the ecosystem was just not fluid like apples. I had the s23 ultra along with the s9 tab, and even though it wasn’t a bad experience, apples is just a lot better.

The Samsung eco system is crazy good

[@MrNobleTV]

I use an Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 with my iPhone.. it works great for me.. Great Video.!!

[@mjnz]

I tried the Apple ecosystem for 6 months. 15 Pro, Macbook Air M1, mini tablet, watch, airpods pro 2. I wanted to be sure I wasn't just biased. That was a total fail and I'm back to Pixel and PC. However i do really miss how smooth, bright, and colorful the 15 Pro screen is. No comparison. But really that's all I could find better about it. Oh and the Airpods Pro2 sound far better than Pixel Buds Pro

[@rp3823]

Team Apple! … Quick question, what’s the link for getting the T-Shirt?

[@CJKnowsTECH]

If you search Evan Carmichael on KZbin I got it from his store

[@jayvqz]

yeah I’m in the ecosystem and have no regrets and before I had galaxy note 2 for like a few years and then got my first iPhone then built my apple ecosystem with iPhone ,watch,iPad,apple pencil,MacBook and HomePod,AirPods and the Apple Card and all work flawless 🤙🍻

[@shawn93564]

Solid points. Popups are annoying IPhone here for usability and seem less eco system 🇦🇺🤘🏼

[@BrianJarvisOR]

@CJKnowsTECH, if you're going to do an Android-biased video next, maybe it would be interesting to do a third video exploring a magic world where we could take the best from both ecosystems.

[@CJKnowsTECH]

Good idea

[@XoeCox]

Tech reviewers and the flip flopping in order to make more content is so darn funny to me. Flossy Carter is the only reviewer who we trust.

[@aubinbaldonado]

26:37 agree, have to agree with the truth

[@seapanda-117]

I used android since they came out. I’ve had an iPhone for 3 years. The few times I’ve tried to go back it hasn’t been as good. The apps integrate directly with the cameras and the cameras are consistently almost the best. Sometime a Samsung phone or pixel can create better photos but it is an inconsistent experience. Pixel would be my android choice but they have terrible cell signal.

[@BanginshotzGaming]

So, I see all the comments, and I get it. Some people have never tried an iPhone, and some have never tried Android. I'm an iPhone user. I once tried to transfer over to Android, which was a nightmare for me; I returned to iPhone. My wife was an Android user for years and said she would never switch, and last year, she decided to try it and said she got it now; she understands the hype behind it and will never go back to Android. I love simplicity, so the iPhone works for me. Plus, as a photography Airdrop, I can't live without it.

[@terryharris8228]

Only thing stopping me from switching to android is the FaceTime I like the idea of full customization the android have

[@iAfroTech]

Thanks for repeating "in the States".👍🏿 This situation is totally different outside, hopefully for me, living in Europe. From the way people buy smartphone to the use of options for tracking kids or sharing positions, people don't have the same behaviour in a lot of european countries. Same for countries i know the best in West Africa and South America. I'm a bit surprised you didn't speak about some people keeping their iPhone because they don't want to deal with their family. Same for children or teenagers bullied because they can't afford to pay an iPhone. Those things hurt my values, the way my parents raised me. iPhone and Nothing Phone user here✅

[@richaudfields5249]

parental controls are the same for Samsung Google I have it for my son but I understand what u are trying to say

[@CJKnowsTECH]

I haven't had experience with how extensive those platforms are but I know how well Apples is implemented and thought out and I'm sure it makes parents lean towards their platform. But that's good to know thanks for informing me of that. Respect

[@MrLoveExplained]

What country is this?

[@djsvain]

Cameras..... They are or at least were 4 years or more behind in resolution, stabilization etc. Kids access? Settings, search parental..... done. easy. Getting to settings, swipe, hit gear, done. customization, android wins hands down. apple? Try being a gamer? No diablo, most games on steam are a no go, most games on epic, no chance, etc. Assistant? android stomps the ground with siri. apple car play and android are equal. organization, so much easier. Screen isn't always cluttered with all the apps, like apple. I had a 4 k screen on my LG-g3 almost a decade before apple got it on their phone. The list can go on,. bigger on phone storage, equal cloud storage, faster processor, USB type C (we've had it for 5 years now and you only just got it). Funny, in the 15 years or so I have used android, I've never needed any customer service for anything.

[@anthonywilliams9415]

Well said

[@steve9377]

You lost me first with the cameras comment and they you really lost me when you said your LG G3 had a 4k screen. I get it though, you don't like Apple, I didn't used to like them either. Also, you can thank Apple for USB Type C, they helped engineer it back in 2014.

[@IbadanMack]

Bro Apple is 👑. Switched over about 7 years ago permanently and have enjoyed my transition. Got the iPad, air pods, Apple Watch and just got my 15 pro max. Getting a Mac Pro next year. 🤩

[@BigDaddy_BHJ1977]

I love apple. I really do. I have 14 pm m1 ipad pro 12.9, apple watch ultra and iPad mini 6. Along with airpod max and 2 lightning. When it comes to my airpods is where I'm aggravated most about apple. My airpods connection to my devices is trash. My pixel buds pro and Samsung buds pro 2 connect to my apple phone better than my airpods. My airpods fluctuate connection between my iPad and iPhone. My iPad can be connected to my radio in my truck for listening to my movies and TV shows and I get phone call on my phone and answer on my phone. As soon as I pick up my airpods to connect to my phone, it connects to my iPad that's already connected to my radio. Then when I try to connect it to my phone, it still fluctuate between the two devices. I don't have these issues with my pixel buds and Samsung buds, even though they are connected to same devices.

[@terrencebenjamin7241]

I use both. But originally I used android and gave it up 12 years ago because it was a hot mess. Devices that I had: T-Mobile G1 I had was glitchy and kept restarting and freezing. Best part is it was getting updates. 3 out of the 4 phone I had were a glitchy or defective mess. Because of that I switched to iOS for the reliability and longevity of support. Android has now caught up with reliability and stability and I since have gotten an Android phone because of that. Still depending on OEM, Apple still has better suppprt not counting Google and Samsung. My last iPhone I kept for 4 years before upgrading. It stayed smooth and kept getting OS updates. That’s why I stayed. I can easily just jump ship back to Android exclusively but since the iPhone works well and gets the job done, it’s not going to happen. However I am happily using both platforms and currently tempted to upgrade from the Pixel 7 Pro to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

[@mrmack3176]

I like the ecosystem excuse because it means you would have to spend thousands to be apart of the ecosystem people make no sense to me

[@CJKnowsTECH]

Not true...many people only use an iPhone alone but in this day and age who doesn't have a pair of headphones, maybe a watch, for sure a computer, etc. It's just a reality that we use more than one tech product and it's a plus to have them all work seamlessly together regardless of what platform you're on

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

A part. NOT apart. A part = to be part of. Apart = to be separated.

[@solorzanofelipe]

Tbh the only reason I don't use iOS is because 1. I can't sideloaded modded app that in return save me money because they either they block ads or allow me to not pay for an app fee or a subscription 2. I like minimalistic homescreen 3. Launchers 4. Keyboards. As per an ecosystem I wouldn't feel comfortable having all my devices sharing the same data.

[@landmarkcm]

For me & I never thought I would but I like ios better overall I've come to realize for a few little key touches that make a difference to me & I haven't seen or read anyone else mention these! in ios messaging when you get a text containing a tracking number & other stuff you can tap on it from the text and ios recognizes it's a tracking & will pop up from the text area saying track package! Android doesn't do that, imessage has won me over to overall, also another thing in ios that android doesn't do currently is the KZbin pip feature, on ios if you slide the running video your watching all the way over to the side of the screen out of sight you can still listen to it playing! on android you can only make it really small & drag it around but if you tuck it out of the way it stops playing, & also Siri is better especially in case needed in an emergency because the screen can be locked off and even if you just say siri help it will dial 911, Android only few devices do that now even when you have the assistant set to work on the lock screen, Its odd some phones will call others but not emergency services which is odd to me, I also like the overall search feature built into ios better when looking for an app or whatever, It to me is just a cleaner overall easier experience, ya ios can be a bit boring at times but ios 18 is supposed to change some of that, So their are pros and cons to both, I do wish ios had a back button for example, but what I have never understood is how some people get downright angry arguing back and forth which is better lol, Just use what makes you happy and fits your life..

[@peppermintpetty87]

Tj Appreciate the quality video. I look forward to your android video . I just find these pro -apple videos are interesting bc at the same time frame the DOJ is coming after them bc of this walled garden and anticompetitive actions or basically revisiting how we got here. I hope they succeed with lawsuit bc America's mobile tech space has gone straight to hell. But otherwise great video

[@Midoryiass]

The real freaking reason why I switched and now rocking an iPhone 13 is because my last Samsung phone I tried was a s20fe, great fun phone, had it from March 2023 to august 2023, until it never received ANY updates, not even one, never got andriod 13 and was stuck on andriod 12 I contacted Samsung support and they said they couldn't HELP me at all because it was with the carrier, apparently even if the phone is unlocked it has to be FULLY unlocked not an unlocked and payed off unit, so apparently it's a stupid phone carrier that updates!! Now real reason why I say Samsung doesn't update there phones is because they don't care about there customers who are having issues When I jumped to an SE 2020 I got iOS 17 on day of release and it felt good and nice!! Anyways I'm loving my iPhone 13 so freaking much

[@jsalinas06]

I’m apart of the Apple family. However, I want a Samsung device for fun and customizations. (I’m still keeping my 15PMX) I just want a secondary phone and I’m stuck in between S24U or this Fold5. Not sure yet

[@shuanasearcy]

Hi CJ I enjoyed the video. I had android phones long before I got my first iPhone and I liked the freedom of android. I agree that the bloatware back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s was very annoying to me. Then I bought my first iPhone in 2009 it was different but loved it then in 2012 bought my first MacBook at university of North Texas student book store. You couldn’t tell me anything then. I never went back only Mac for me. Years down the road I rocked with the Samsung Note and Pixel. I continued to buy iPhones, the iPad , the watch. I like the echo system but I like Pixels. Fast forward to now. I have all Apple products my kids do too. I am so n team Pixel because I like them. I carry 15 pro max and pixel 8 pro daily. I have the M2 MacBook Pro with pro chip yesterday I bought the m3 midnight MacBook Air. I am happy with my tech. I think it’s toxic to be mean and rude to people based on preferences. I appreciate your content. Keep it up unhealthy people are just that until they choose to do better.

[@dwaynefisher603]

Am using Apple since it was 2g till now get me am not switching

[@bookerwright5119]

FossyCarter love to heàr your take on this

[@morm2173]

I'm telling you i have the red magic and the 15 pro max isn't playing Witcher 3 at 60 to 90 fps . I have the s23 ultra and I have imessage on it . Also try Huawei mate x5 fold , Honor magic v2 Porsche edition fold , Xiaomi 14 ultra , One Plus Open, Vivo fold pro 3. ALSO, SAMSUNG ecosystem allows me to use my s23 ultra as a controller for mario 3d world wirelessly. Please test all those phones on the channel and import them and use those features and you'll see

[@diokdin]

Awesome video as usual. Sharing this to everyone I know.

[@coreyburns2074]

The security of iOS the ease of use the resale value iMessage tons of accessories excellent support etc and they just work well Samsung is right there tho the ecosystem works just as good more customizable just more fun more options seems better built etc it’s close I have both but primarily I use the Samsung
