@@Lord_LindaThePhilosopher Nothing he said in here is untrue. Maybe the vaguely subjective "stuff is nicer" on iPhone... because if he bought a $1200 Android flagship and ran it stock, it'd have about all the same apps and a much nicer screen.
Android user here. Forced to use an iphone for work. It's been more than a year and I still don't know how people can stand it. Everything feels so counter-intuitive and counter-productive.
It was never meant to be productive but just using for longer duration for ad. if apple wanted its people to be productive, then it wouldn't also create numbers over excel. Think of that for a second.
Same here man, started at the job I have now exactly in January 2023, so it's been a year.. I got the iPhone SE (didn't get a choice) and man what a terrible experience, I really hate that thing. It's a paperweight when I am working from home and I told people to contact me on my private phone number if they need me. I've tried also the higher models like the 14 Pro and Pro Max and it's still a way worse experience than my android phone
Tech RU-vidrs not just trying Android, but going straight to a privacy-concious custom ROM and then actually liking it and sticking to it, that is just amazing. I love everything about that.
but duh Google never will get into my bank and steal my money... why rely on a third-party software like Graphen OS which may not have all security features and might be breached by hackers?? If you care about being spied on by the maker of the phone.. don't have a phone! even the iPhone spies on you to lock you on their ecosystem
That iPhone users often stick with iPhone out of embarrassment from other iPhone users commenting if they change...says a lot about iPhone users, and none of it is good.
Honestly I switched from Android to iOS because of how it looked, and to my mind it’s (personally) easier for me to use. I feel it’s a preference, not more so one is really better than the other, they have their own perks.
@@cloudy_xDD Switching to iOS because of how it LOOKS is as funny as people whose concern, in buying a Mac, was what color the case is. Apple is welcome to 'em.
@@KAZVorpal That and it’s simple to use, I don’t use a Mac, I have a windows pc.. (and dual boot Linux mint) why? Because macOS isn’t powerful enough to run the stuff I want it to lol. And no, I don’t like how windows looks (tho I have Linux how I want it), if macOS actually had better performance and was able to run the things I wanted it to I’d switch :P
I'm guessing they are silent notifications that you can toggle off? Haven't used a Pixel phone in a while so GrapheneOS might have changed a bit since I last used it.
@@marcusfleuti2672 that and seamlessness of apps graphene actual opens them slightly slower because he is running them in s a sandbox. Thus kind of intentionally crippling the speed. As sandboxes by default are designed to use limited reserved resources.
@@ChrisRogersTheAngryCheffrom what I've seen, each app just has its own way of 'going back' and it's not always in the same place and could even be a gesture you use. Whenever I've used someone else's iPhone, this always frustrates me.
This might come off as cringey but your humour has gotten me through some tough times. Even if it was just to distract myself from the pain. Thank you for your effort , it helps people who need it. Thank you guys for being here.
I really appreciate this video. Sam knows what he is talking about, and isn't afraid to rag on both devices. I loved using graphene OS, that was until all my apps I used at work locked me out for having a "rooted system."
Try a Xiaomi phone (they allow you to root out the box) you root it set it up the way you want then unroot / lock it. Got past all my security and banking apps no problem. Alternatively I'd just say sorry I can use the app due to security reasons. Half they time "they" / those apps are the security issue.
he was talking about sending them android->iphone and iphone->android. I don't know why but iphones don't find androind phones via bluetooth to send/receive files.
I use multi-window a lot. I would be beyond annoyed switching back and forth between apps on iPhone. This is very handy when referencing something from one app, while working in another.
@@AnonymityA I remember using my Samsung Galaxy S5 and it having multi window support. I used the feature a lot during covid where I did most of my work via phone while my PC was dead. It's incredibly useful
I am using custom roms for more than 8 years. The fun of it and showing middle finger to google and other data vampires is so satisfying.
8 месяцев назад
Be careful with custom ROMs. You never know what crapware/malware the builder might include. While custom ROM might look cool, fast, etc. I wouldn't install my banking apps on it.
You still give them data regardless, and nomatter if you create it from the ground, as long as it uses internet no matter how open source it is, data will be recollected.
If you're on the internet they have data on you regardless of what you use. However you don't get ads and they cannot see everything. But where there's a connection NSA has stooges wire tapping and gathering every data regardless of who you are or what you use. That's how the USA spies on it's enemies around the world and why China stays off the grid for the most part.
I siwtched to android because of the cost/benefit ratio. Just wasn't worth it, even when buying used iphones. I've used the same $100 android phone for years now (that includes the cost of the case & the phone itself, btw). Haven't even had the screen crack even once. Got all the features/functions I want in a phone, for a tiny fraction of the cost. Plus I refuse to give up my headphone jack. Today's iphones don't have all the features I need in a smartphone, they don't have headphone jacks. Plenty of andriods include headphone jacks.
So you was just dumb aren't you? You know you can get a lot of alternatives App stores in iPhone with and without PC necessary? Did you know you can download and install apps from email or whatsoever same like In Android? End in the end did you ever even heard you can customise everything in IPhone to if you have at least 1IQ? 😂😂😂 Interesting how they was holding you down and gated? It's just yourself who heard some crap and couldn't connect your phone to computer 😂
Welcome to getting assr*ped a little less, but getting alot more pleasure out of it lmaoo.. Because even tho Android rags on Apple, they're not any better, they'll still pull the same bullshit if Apple gets away with it.... which let's face it, is always with the Apple sheeple.
Thanks so much for such a rational and non-hysterical comparison of android and iOS ! As an apple user who hasn’t switched due to pure laziness, I personally have just never felt that the differences between the systems warranted all the effort to switch. I’m not prejudiced; I hate everyone equally. Again, many thanks for your very entertaining and funny videos!~~ wishing you continued success!
You might wanna look into getting a Samsung if you wanna switch in the future, their phones have a feature to import your data directly from an iPhone on setup. Not sure if other phone brand have this too, I'm only aware of Samsung having it at the moment.
@@reinardharmse4375 A good number of the reasons that I avoid buying apple products also apply to samsung so I generally pick another maker. Intentional uncooperativeness with the rest of the Android works doesn't really make me want to support them
@@davidy22 Thank god. Exactly what I think. What do you think about the Pixel devices or Nothing? They are both great for iPhone users provinding a great UI and hardware design. And you can get both for great prices.
All through middle school I was bullied for having a galaxy s6 edge it led to the point to where I gave in and bought an iphone. the battery died really fast, the operating system made me frustrated all the time, and I hated not being able to sideload. I switched back to android and im definitely not switching back
Welcome to Android! I'm sure you'll love the freedom of choice that comes with it :) BTW for the notifications you don't want Android has notification control to allow you to set per app toggles. (there should be plenty of youtube guides out there)
Exactly what I came to the comment section for.... Thought it was odd he never just disabled the annoying notifications. When selecting the physical notification, it normally takes you straight to the settings to change it to silent/popup/notify etc 🤔
Idk if it makes any sense but this video was very nice and comforting to watch? It weirdly put a smile on my face. I don't know why. It might be the fact that you didn't just go straight to a flagship Android and went for a privacy-centric route with GrapheneOS. I sound like a weirdo rn.
Still weird to chose Pixel for security. Nice that you can put software that promises safety on top of the device, but what's it worth if you can't trust the device...
same dude, i grow up hoping to save money to buy an itouch back then years ago. finally was able to get it and itouch was discontuined. bought a motorola and actually liked it a lot, very easy to use. now i only use samsung and with a good case with an inbuildt screen, it can last over 5 years
Imagine Google as Apple run by Donald Trump/Rishi Sunak/anyone with the larcenous instincts of a 6 year old. I know Apple has every piece of info about me, but it’s one source… and as far as I know they haven’t sold any PII.
You can hold the specific notification you don't want to see (for example, the "up to date" one) and only turn off that one. And most apps on android give you choice like that.
I am now rocking Galaxy S23+. I switched to Android from iPhone in March 2022. Leave the Apple ecosystem was easy tbh. Marry Christmas from Czechia 🇨🇿🥳🥳
@@dushyanthatti1 I Europe many people use iPhones. But Androids are still common especially Samsungs. We do not care what phone othes use. And with texting, for that we have whatsapp or instagram dms and older people still have Facebook and its Messenger for it. So we don’t care about iMessage. I must say the switch can be wort it, even when you will go back one day. Yes I am on iPhone. With 15 Pro. I would say it is really comparible phone to the S23 and S24. Someting is better, someting not. The reason to switch mostly were Apple watche.
@@dushyanthatti1 In Europe, statistics show that in many countries people preffer iPhones. But Samsungs are common too. In general we do not care what you use. And we do not shit about iMessage, we just text via WhatsApp or Instagram. I would say the switch was worth. I am back on iPhone must say. 15 Pro currently. But the reason was mostly because of the Apple Watch. I started to care about my health more, I have started working out. And the Apple Watch are king in its category. They give me the most data I need.
@@Patrikch100 it's same here for messaging in India. Was an iPhone user iPhone 13. Recently switched to S24 base model. Just been 2-3 days. Let's see how this phone does. Camera wise I think iPhone is just a step further or maybe it looked better on their screen. Wanted to try something new so went.
@@dushyanthatti1 I love the S23 Ultra. Best experience i ever had. It just feels right. Never apple again. Most Europeans liked in the past Nokia and now most like Samsung phones. Samsung has a marketshare of 36% in Europe. I am a photographer. I study the quality of photos. Its true that the newest apple does some pictures and especially some videos better than the s23U but in some situation i found out that Samsung makes much better photos.
started with iPhone mainly because we got one cheap second hand, but a main motivator to switch to Android was also just being locked into the small storage of iPhones, haha. As for customizability, don't forget you can also replace your home screen - it's just an app, after all. I'm using Total Launcher and spent a couple months dragging, dropping, and resizing stuff by hand for a fully customized and compact UI. It's inspired by Star Trek LCARS, but otherwise, totally original.
My first smartphone about 11-12 years ago was an iPhone because that was the cool thing among my group of friends. The salesman was trying to convince me to get an android even though he would get less commission. After I went through 3 iPhones in 2 years (they kept dying inexplicably) I finally went Android and haven't looked back since.
@@SaveTheInsects_Team True, but notice their concern was being "locked" into the storage amount. I don't know of any iPhone model that ever allowed expandable storage. And to upgrade to a higher storage tier is a ridiculously high price. But nowadays, the truth is that expandable storage is all but disappearing on Android as well.
I don't use GrapheneOS, but I do use LineageOS. The ability to put a different OS on a mobile device is one of my purchase criteria. All my previous Android phones have had an alternative OS put on them by me.
@@zeta_eclipseIt was a terrible experience though. Maybe now that Fedora offers an Asahi supported version it might be worth a shot again, but the only device drivers I saw work were camera and speakers. Lets hope they improve.
You can disable specific notification types, e.g. "everything up-to-date". Hold finger for a few seconds over an app icon (the Play Store, in this case) to pop up menu, then tap "App info" (i) button. Then tap on "Notifications". You can switch off specific categories - or just everything at once. I think the one you want to disable is called "Updates completed". I have my notifications extremely fine-tuned for all apps. I only get notifications for things I actually care about. Google Pixel 6 Pro here. Previously had a Google Pixel 2 XL, and I didn't even feel the need to upgrade from a feature POV - I only did so for continued security updates.
Happy holidays Sam! I switched from an iPhone 13 Pro to a Pixel 8 this year and so far I'm loving it. I've been using iPhones for over a decade since the iPhone 5.
I also moved back to android like 3 days ago after being an iphone user for 5 years. The Nothing Phone 1 is my new home, and I gotta say, its so nice being back on the Android side of things. One of the first things I did was sideload open source apps. The freedom is amazing!
They say nothing phone 2 is actually a good upgrade over 1 in contrast to new models of big ones like Samsung. İf you can, I recommend switching to that since u liked 1 you'll definitely like 2.
@@alibozkuer5022I have nothing phone 2 in my opinion it's one of my best investment Not only it provides flagship performance but also a great software experience, The only issue is the camera, it's not the best camera in $499 price range but if u ignore that everything is top notch:)
@@Joker-yu5kp Samsung. Defenitely not. They did a great choice with the NP 1. Pixel is also quite nice. Samsung just has similar issues that iPhones have. Would not make sense in his case. I would even argue they have even more issues but that's besides the point.
Fold 4 user here welcome to the Robot team! I switched after the 5s came out and never looked back! Merry xmas hopw you continues to bless us with your hilarious videos in 2024
I used to consistantly buy flagship phones (iPhones, Blackberrys, Samsungs). The Note 9 was my last flagship phone. Since you can't change batteries any more, and the lack of updates (and when you do get an update, it might actually make your 1-2 year old device even worse) really makes the phone worse in the end rather than it actually breaking. I've never broken a phone. Now I'm on a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5g. It works. I use my phone for basic stuff. Maps, Whatsapp, email, listening to music and banking. I carry a full frame camera for photography and a nintendo switch for gaming on the go. So all I need is my phone to be a phone. Most midrangers are quite competent nowadays. Goodbye super expensive flagships!
@SAMTIME Don't worry about searching for different places to use back gesture. Android back gesture is streamlined unlike Apple (which is different for each app) and you can use it the same way across all apps.
@@AnonymityA Apple sheep here. I prefer Android gestures, from the brief time I used an S23U. Back gesture can be swiped from the left or the right, it's so comfortable. Much easier for a right hander to swipe from the right. iOS gestures are abysmal.
Last year switch from iPhone to a Galaxy S21 and I'm not looking back, it's GREAT! I still have an iPad so I've not left iOS entirely behind but as a daily my Android phone is just so much nicer than my iPhone was.
I find it comical how cringe people get over which brand they use. All of them are written off of Linux. Android has more customization and back end abilities where iphone is simplistic. I have always goten fustrated on apple products since the 80s but understand why people love it.
Nice! Glad to see a real video like this with all the security stuff in mind. Those up to date nags must be a Graphene thing? Haven't seen that on regular stock Android.
Iphone breaks* user....."let me check out the brand new samsung galaxy s23 ultra" - said no apple user ever They always pick the cheapest androids and complain about performance 😒
I find iPhone users have no idea how the Android experience is, they just know it isn't iOS (which blows) and they are Apple zombies. Ex- iPhone user here, I haven;t looked back ever since I switched. BTW, The Pixel is the cheapest phone you can buy, the Galaxy phones are much more robust and polished so don't let that Pixel discourage you from trying other Android phones.
In case of Samsung only the S & Z series are polished & certain A series phones like A52s 5g. Else OneUI works like crap in other Samsung phones(u may not be able to recognise how crap it feels if u have used only Sammy & Pixel. But you will find differences in the overall smoothness of their UI in that case).
Research shows that android users are switching to iphones. I've always been an android user, can't believe how much I'm loving my first iphone this year.
@@ML-jk3sz People are different. I also experienced people switching from iOS to Android instead of the opposite (switched back to iOS myself). Although I can somewhat agree with you, I also think that some people just see Android as Samsung with too much tinkering and bad animations. And it's not completely wrong. Phones like the Nothing Phone and Pixel are becomming more and more popular because they actually contain a good Android ROM, polished and with easier access. Casual users just want that. A phone for texting, calling and maybe the camera and social media. It should just work. And the A Series isn't doing justice either. Helped with setting up an A phone. Took ages and I couldn't really make a Samsung account properly. You CAN deal with the iOS problems. A Sideloading service for iOS costs around 15$ a year and customization can be done with Cowabunga Lite or with good Widget apps. The Shortcut app is useful for some Android features. If those solutions aren't goo enough, iPhones really aren't for you. That's fine. But note that people like the simplicity and easy nature of iPhones.
Disclaimers: 1. Graphene is not necessary, he just got it so he doesn't get google spyware 2. a lot of the cool customization stuff (and certain stuff that he mentioned was exclusive to graphene) is mainly on samsung's android version, specifically within the app "good lock". 3. most android users usually don't use open source apps, but it's great for privacy and security and if you're using root/superuser, unlocked bootloader, etc. 4. by 2050, apple will probably have to make ios open source because of europe, until they decide to just merge it with android and you don't have to worry about the walled garden anymore.
I buy a midrange android phone for $300 once every two years and I can still sell the old one for $100. I can unlock it, install custom OS, remove all the bloatware and do whatever I want with it. I'd never buy a product that doesn't allow me to modify or replace the OS, it makes zero sense to me. I also avoid proprietary hardware and software because it makes customization and repair difficult and expensive.
thank you for this review. notifications can be customized, usually apps would let you choose which ones you want otherwise you can turn off notificafions for apps that are spamming too many of them. if i am not mistaken there might also be an option for silent notifications that you when then check in notifications history. you might want to try lineage os if it supports your device.
On android you can also swipe to right to go back which i honestly think is hundred times better than stupid ios left side only its ridiculously uncomfortable..
I've been an apple sheep for about 13 years. Recently switched to a Motorola edge+ 2023 and man, I'm loving it and probably won't ever look back 😂 i do plan on keeping my maxbook though, but im a huge fan of android!!!
6:00... Buttons are my favourite thing... I find gestures just too slow... I use multitasking, I want the system to adapt to my usage, not the opposite... Even my keyboard is the SwiftKey and it is a tiny moved to the right and a tiny to the top with squared buttons and the right amount of feedback and damn I love it... Also clipboard is shared with the PC (MS please... I'm still waiting to any way to move my files to my PC without having to use Samba/SMB... Ps. Yeah, I know there is the share app from Google and Quick Share from Samsung, but A. Quick share just uses Intel... And I have an AMD laptop, B. Google uses Bluetooth to pair, and I don't want that extra step. C. Why can't I have a fast way to move my files at home...), also routines... (When Google removed Android Auto phone mode, I've just created a routine and et voila... Same as android auto when it connect to Bluetooth)
I switched to Pixel 6 from the iPhone 11 ~3 years ago and the only disadvantage I noticed is camera quality. I fancy having control over all the possible privacy settings. As for the headphones -- Airpods Pro with type C work perfectly fine with android. Also, I can use my phone as a wireless charger for the headphones. 😊
@@ElvisChibundu I think that is because it was using the standard Google Camera app that came with the phone. Much of the strength of the Pixel camera is due software and Google post-processing of the photos. GrapheneOS does not have the Google camera app installed by default. But if you really needed it, you could create a separate user (as Sam did for Google Maps) without compromising the privacy and security of your default user.
He said “the only one thing I miss about iPhone is everything about iPhone.” Dude, okay. Talking about “the only”and “every” in one sentence is not confusing enough. Imagine someone said the only thing he eats is everything. The only thing he talk about is everything. 😂😂😂
Currently using a Galaxy S22 Ultra for about 5 months now. It's the best of both worlds, premium feel and camera like an iphone, and a lot of freedom/customization specially when using ONE UI and how much Good Lock offers for free. Also, the added bonus for productivity having a huge screen + S-Pen + Dex mode is awesome
I've personally found LineageOS to be a great custom OS with long term software support (my original Pixel 1 can get Android 13!), if you want to try it in the future!
I'm currently running LineageOS on a Samsung Note 10.1 tablet from 2012, it doesn't run quite as reliably as I would like, but it has Android 12 and runs it surprisingly well for a device of that age. Only problem is that the system crashes occasionally, causing the device to reboot.
8:53 yep that is probably the best two sentence summary of switching between iOS and android I’ve heard. As for me, I’ll stick with my iPhone 15 until it stops getting software support probably. And yes that means battery replacements which I do myself cause I feel no need to pay someone else to do something like that for me
Well, how do you open rear side of your smartphone cause some people say it locked down by HW signature? Even if you changed the battery it will have the same capacity as old one cause of HW signature or info is not true?
@@HumbleHuman-k7g most smartphones open the same way. Heat it up and gentle prying to lift either the screen or back glass off. As for the sofware pairing. You won’t be able to see the max capacity anymore but you will have the full capacity to charge back. The phone doesn’t manage that. What manages charge capacity is the bms board which is attached directly to he battery. The way max capacity report works is iOS checking the bms report
Not only is he not using a comparable model but this will probably get less and less true as time goes on as Android phones quality get better. However, I get it.
Haven't seen a lot about it in the comments, also you must've heard it by now, but here goes anyway: When you have notifications that annoy you, just long-press them as they show up to either to make them silent, or disable them entirely. Glad you're enjoying Android! =)
6a is mid-range. Also what he is actually talking about is the app experience. Which seriously is much better on iOS than it is on Android. Be it any Android.
pffft hahahahaha lol@@dragonforcegaming7555 found the delusional fanboi app to app its a horse race between the 2 on app quality often better on 1 except for when the app was never made for the other device at all....... I do NOT find the app experience better on IOS.... i hated my IOS device with extreme passion when i had it due to gestures and other failings being horrible... acting like a 13yr old ignorant pretentious princess wasnt worth paying double++ and staying tech stupid vs learning a few things and using android.
@@mr.cringe61 12 series entirely is flagship. Apple's naming is different compared to Android OEMs. For pixel & Samsung, A series is affordable/mid-range(Sammy's A-series is horribly complex tho. A0x for budget,A1x for mid budget,A2x for upper budget,A3x for lower mid-range,A5x for Upper mid-range. And in SK they also have A7x series😵💫). For Apple, it's the garbage SE series which is considered as Mid-range.
I thought this was gonna be more satire but this was pretty good. Still love your satire though!!! The thing about Graphene is you can’t see the value, but it’s far superior in terms of privacy and security. You just need to understand how important that is and will be in the future. Most people are instant gratification types and don’t care about these things.
I use a Samsung Galaxy A51, which I chose mainly because it has decent specs and supports a microSD card. It also has a 3.5mm audio jack. Sadly, those are both things that many modern phones are doing away with.
btw if your phone runs out of storage you can just factory reset it and it becomes new again, no need to buy a new one btw2! unlike on iPhones, to go back you don't need to swipe from the left edge to the right, you can also swipe from the right edge to the left! it's pretty nice. though 3-button navigation is also nice, especially on phones that aren't humongous this is a pretty interesting take on the switching to Android thing! instead of using Android exactly the same way as you would've used an iPhone, jumping from one walled garden into another, you took actually advantage of Android's freedom and openness, to make the experience and your device truly your own. you're like the only youtuber that actually stepped back and considered what makes Android special. i was very surprised!
@@steve9377 Like pirating games or songs or just any app you want to. Cmon, if you spent a lot on your phone, wouldn't you want it to give you service for free?
let's give Apple every text/dickpick, phone conversation and all our internet traffic EVER, is safe, the bilion corporation cares totally about your safety and privacy!
Glad you're enjoying your time on the light side. 😉 If you miss the quality/smoothness of the iPhone I'd just get a newer and/or higher end pixel - e.g. a Pixel 8 or 7a.
Even the Pixel 6 is noticeably more smooth than the 6A and most iPhones, due to its 90hz screen. Most non-pro iPhones use a 60hz screen, as does the Pixel 6A.
Android has some features that iOS doesn't have. Over the years, Apple has added features to iOS that Android already has and has had for several years. Also, for Samsung Galaxy phones it can do some things better then iOS can. Android is much more customizable
I switched from Android to Apple about 5 years ago. It felt like I was jumping off a cliff into an unknown-but-probably-terrible fate. To my surprise, everything in iOS felt so much better and intuitive. I have considered switching back to Android, but then the thought of how terribly put together the entire Android experience is, I think (for now) I will stick to the well put together experience that is iOS. Android really has to clean its total experience up for me to make the jump back.
Samsung's version of Android is very bloated and user-unfriendly. I recommend you give a shot to Pixels, they're basically iPhones with better UX and more features@@dharvell
The fact we can not trust 3rd party software and OS vendors because of spyware but we also can not trust Google or Huawei because of lack of privacy just makes me so depressed. Why there is not a single ecosystem that truly respect users privacy and can provide security against spyware. Apple claim to be the one company we can trust but we know they also do sell our data and other Linux based solution are just not reliable enough or can be trusted neither. Why is the world have to be so complicated I don't understand. We just need an OS, no bloat, no spyware and an App Store where apps do not have access to private data on our phone and possibly the phone where the OS runs cost less than a $1000. Is it too much to ask for?
Thats why GNOME and KDE are working hard on making Linux on mobile usable. I think until then, Android Custom ROMs are the way because AOSP is trustworthy. And especially with the sandboxed Google Play GrapheneOS offers its quite usable.
You doesn't compared key points, just fast forwarded which is very crucial. You just installed a custom rom but who cares that?? On ther hand you are comparing build quality and stuff woth cheaper model ? Why?? Why?? Comparing 1200$ phone with 500$ phone? Doesn't it make sense
