iPhone 15 Pro: An Android User's Perspective 

Absolutely love your cinematography skills! Plus as someone who often bounces between android and iOS, but still prefers Android. I relate entirely!

I'll say it every year... Apple fix your notifications 😅

Man! Those aesthetic setups for b-roll shots & the shots themselves are absolute fire.

Great video. I just switched to an iPhone 15 Pro Max from Android. A lot of what you said is spot on. One correction though, there is an alphabetized app drawer. Swipe over to the app library and then swipe down or tap in the App Library search field. Either one will open an alphabetized view of all your apps. The rest of your "Like to have" list is spot on.

12:20 this is the thing I've been screaming to people for years, finally someone who has influence said it out loud. You earned my respect Sam✌🏻

My sister got the 15 recently (due to her phone contract) - so we played around with it. I am coming from various Android phones (mostly Samsungs and Nokias), my sister has had Apple phones since, uh .. i think since the Iphone 6. What i liked: The build quality is good, it feels solid - but it gets warm quickly (in one spot. I hold the phone in my left hand, and it gets warm just below the camera module on the back and on the side of the frame). The screen is nice - nothing amazing, but nice. The hardware/software is quick, the haptics are GREAT (the linear vibrator really is good, not better than the flagship Samsung ones ... they are about on the same page - but its more when it gives feedback). Most of the rest was generic flagship smartphone business .. nothing to write home about. What i disliked: On Android, i plug it into a PC and move my music over to the music folder. On IOS .. well, thats not working. Even with iTunes, it does not work. I did not manage to give my sister custom notification sounds at all (we tried to figure it out for quite some time, along with google tutorials and all) - and it took us quite some time to upload custom ringtones. The music is put into what appears to be random folder structures on the phone, it did not recognize audio-books .. and autoplay seems to prefer the Apple music app over 3rd party apps that we preferred (foobar2000) Android has a LOT more free applications from what i can tell, from ad-skipping apps to simple music apps. In general - advertisement was significantly more intrusive, unskippable and annoying on IOS. (annoying meaning, it swaps screens (to the app store) multiple times, adds additional timers etc. Our conclusion was: She likes it very much. But she has always had an Iphone. I do not like it over similarly priced Android phones, because i value customization more ... also, i like a square design over the rounded corners. My sister is also not bothered about the ringtones and the music, because she streams her music anyway, while i upload my music onto the phones memory. I know (from this channel) that you can customize the Iphone, too .. but it is much harder than doing the same on Android.

You make really visually appealing videos! Thanks for making such an effort.

Really great video! Loved both the video part and the reviewing part!

Massive appreciation for the time and effort that goes into the cinematography Great video as always

I LOVE YOUR EDITING!!!! ❤

What a clean looking video! I should watch more of your videos!

My god that intro was amazing Sam!!

what I love about casteify's cases is that they are stolen designs from better designers

After 12 years being an android user, I was finally considering buying iPhone 15. Thank you for changing my mind back 😅

One of my main complaints with the iPhone that a lot of reviewers seem to forget as they're reviewing the iPhone is applications since the iPhone does not allow side loading, a lot of my essential apps are just jot available likenthey are on Android. Therefore it's not even possible to switch even if I wanted to and no there are no similar apps on iOS because fundamentally those kinds of apps can not run iOS.

Absolutely love your videos dude

Great video, amazing B roll footage. I'm getting my first ever iPhone in a couple of weeks having used Android forever. Looking forward to a better camera and playing around with that action button.

Best review of this phone I've seen yet!

the best cinematography i've ever seen on youtube.

11:52 They do give you an alphabetized app drawer: swipe left to get to the app library and then swipe down to get to the alphabetized drawer, inc. quick search (alas, not fully fuzzy, unfortunately).

man what's up with this insanly clean shots, amazing color grading and lighting

I love your aspect ratios! Looks great on my phone.

The possible problem with having the action button have different functions depending on the amount of button clicks is what about accidental button press when in pocket unless you do something where it would be one button press and hold. 2 button press and hold on last press and etc etc

Action button - a couple of problems with it: 1: the position is odd and doesn’t make it easy to hand. 2: I like the silence option and was looking forward to using it for something else however they removed the silence function from back tap. lately, while customizing is nice, this kills the Notifications at the app.

The notification Problem is a deal breaker for me I switched from the s23 Ultra to a iPhone 15 pro I missed so many notifications and Even calls on IOS And is it just me or doese the iPhone Not feel Like 120hz at all In comparion to my s23 the iPhone feels Like 75 to 90hz never even near the Smothness of the s23

loving your presentation! new subscriber here!

You can easily expand the functionality of the button easily with siri shortcuts.

Probably making the change. Ive had nothing but problems with my s22 ultra between the sim card reader, esim, and connecting to any network. Looking online the 23 is having the same issues

The problem with spending $1000 on an Android flagship is that Samsung will undercut the price you paid in a month with a firesale on the same handset you just spent $1000 on. Only a fool buys Android phones at full price because the manufacturer will erode their value themselves. Goes for both Google and Samsung. Apple doesn't do this so the $1000 phone you bought from them is still worth something in a couple of years if you decide to trade it in (especially since it still has years of support ahead of it).

Here's more that iOS needs that no one wants to cover: - Allow separate browser engines so FF or Chrome can bring their own suite of extensions and features and not simply be a Safari skin - Allow separate apps to be set as the "default" to play media files. "Open with" is sorely missing in iOS - Media players don't automatically rotate the screen when in full screen mode. - Rotating the screen shouldn't need bringing down the control center. Android's rotate button appears when you change the orientation. - The 240hz PWM frequency that is really difficult for some people to use.

finaly i found video that have no BS ty

I had an brand new iphone 15 pro gifted to me from my hubby for my birthday. The phone is sluggish, heavy and depending on what you're doing, is a pain in the ass when syncing to other Apple devices. It made me run back to Android. I love my s23. My hubby is trying to get rid of it and team Droid because he is having worse issues with it too after he switched to it.

That intro was sick!

Great video and thanks for being objective. I use Mac computers for video production but switched from iPhone to Android 10 yrs ago with no regrets at all. Both great offerings on either side--whatever works for you is what I say.

outro!!!! so profesionaly done!!!!

I've been using a Pixel as my main phone, but I also carry an iPhone. Recently got the 15 Pro Max and really enjoying it

I used to care about the app drawer, but on the iPhone, swipe down and search, the first letter I type in would get my app I want. I do wish a more interactive widgets for sure

Can you stop making amazing wallpapers. JK, please never stop. SO clean

Insane the thumbnail. First reaction: what a sick cover for an iPhone

hi, can you make a video about how to customize lock screen on android without any launchers only using Kwgt and other apps especially for MIUI 14

13:00 Im still using this thing ever since it's release. Best value for money ever.

Regarding these screen protectors, they don't seem to have a cutout for the dynamic island. Does it make the selfie camera perform any less?

how did you get those tiny icons on the phone ?

What is that wallpaper that you used in the thumbnail? It’s super cool

I'm getting my first iPhone, since the 4, in about 3 weeks, and I should be satisfied with just about everything, except for one absolutely critical thing. It had no Filesystem access. I have a syncthing server two-way syncing my important files to all of my devices, and more importantly, the entire photo album. Apple does not allow it, and it's killing me. You can do this, but only by removing photos from the regular album, importing them into another folder, and then doing a sync

Your videos are amazing, Sam. Top android apps videos are my favorite kind.

100/100 production quality

2:08 How do you get your homescreen like that? it looks amazing.

Thanks! I brought an icon pack but didn’t get it

There's so many features on the android I'm going to miss when I change over. Split screen is a big one. Haven't had an iphone since the 6.

Nice wallpapers!!!!

Are you gonna review the new Pixels?

Where can i find that wallpaper you have??

I just got the 15 pro max and switched from a note 20. I still sometimes use my note 20 cause I miss some android features🙈

alphatezided app drawer!!!!! YES PLEASE!!!! i cant handle myself without it...

Which camera do you use for video production?

No idea where your notifications go but mine stay put until I dismiss them 🤔 (15PM)

wait for the iphone 30 for it to support rcs and customization

DO you use cover on your phone?

Intro 🔥

I’ve been an Apple user for over 20 years but they really do piss me off. Apple was the first out of the gate with an intuitive, multi-touch experience and they were years ahead of anyone. They may not have had the first “smartphone” but they’re the first to make it appealing to the masses. The fact that they aren’t still years ahead is infuriating. That being said I’ll still never switch because they’re unmatched in consistency.

What’s that Lock Screen I keep seeing with those widgets? 2:13

underrated channel

I'll consider switching when Apple allows sideloading apps.

Bring back the mini!!!! Only size the action button would work for

Sorry man. This was the first I saw your videos. As soon as you said “channel sponsor casetify” I paused and closed it…

Hey Sam, a fellow here from down under. I really like your video quality. You got a sub from me.

Please do a review for the base model iPhone 14.

Hello guys I need some assistance. I am looking to purchase a Samsung s24 ultra or an iPhone 15 pro for product photography and video. Which one do you recommend?

Loved the design of your video! Sam, what keywords should I use to find wallpapers similar to the ones you had on in this video? Thanks.

I did switch permanently 🎉

''Comes down to which OS you prefere.....?'' I would have thught cost is a big factor. The Samsing S23 is quite a bit cheaper than an iPhone 15 Pro. And the Google Pixel 8 is about half the price currently and a phone you prefer the images on. These are all flagships phones, but it seems to me you have expect the iPhone to be amazing everywhere to be ok with the price difference.

if you think about with cheap android phones being a barrier entry point, that getting people in to android would be better if Android adopted a more friendly ecosystem like if your cheap android phones worked just as good with laptops pairing. Like samsung Dex, but that's a feature that you have to buy into Samsung for not just android.

That intro 🤯

If only the action button was on the right side of the phone but id imagine left handed users love it

Dude has the best animations on youtube

Y would there port the camera features to the 14 pro it doesn't a the 7 lens that the 15 pro have 😅😅😅

What’s your wallpaper on that Pixel 3 XL at 13:01?

I will always love android, but the iphone 15 make me actually decide that ill get either this or the 16. Ill probably decide on the spot after the anouncement of 16.

Should have watched this before switching yesterday...

Just fyi, everything you said wasn't digital zoom....is digital zoom. Both apple's "different focal lengths" and the APS-C mode on full frame cameras are quite literally digital zoom. They are cropping into the sensor on both of them, and that is the definition of digital zoom. APS-C mode is the central area of the FF sensor and you can tell because the APS-C mode yields a lower resolution than the full frame mode. Same with the iphone 15 pro/max--28 and 35mm mode are both clearly lower quality than the 24mm mode. Seems the marketing buzzwords have indeed gotten to you :)

Your wallpaper is amazing man, where can I find it?

Just switched to the iPhone 15 pro after being an Android user for the last 10 years +, and man… the notification system in the iPhone is Horrible, how they didn’t upgrade it yet? It’s so annoying

Coming from Android, this phone is the best purchase I had in years. As a mirrorless cam user, the camera is such a delight.

When's the pixel review coming 😊😊

On your comment about an alphabetized app drawer: iOS has one. On the app library section on the furthest right home screen, just swipe down.

iPhone notification panel is pure garbage. Still no "close all apps" button when u swipe up and hold to see all your open apps. Honestly, those 2 things alone are utterly pathetic.

I see you just compare 14's experiment vs 15's experiment. I switched to iPhone from Android and my experiment is bad. On Android, I just swipe and it is back to previous. On iPhone, I have to click on back button, which is not identical. Even with Assistive Touch, I have to click more for the same thing. Typing experiment is terrible, I have to click more for the same editing. Gmail notification on iPhone is worse, it doesn't show all the mail to read, to mark as unread or smth, it just show some line of that email. Other notification personalizing is terrible, on Android I can turn off notification for Like, Coupon...everything, but on iPhone I have to turn it all on or all off. App settings is complicated. When I want to change smth, I have to go to the setting, swipe swipes swipe to that app and click to change it. Many little annoying things I don't remember.

I agree they need to fix the notification system, but there is a way to get the apps listed alphabetically. When you’re in the app, library screen pull down and it switches to an alphabetical scroll list.

You try the iphone 16 pro when it comes out

no sideloading

Issue is if I have to spend 1000USD on a phone, I will spend it on Apple which will retain its value and last longer, over an Android

After almost a decade on android, i'll have an apple for the first time, although i used apple 3 years (not straight), usually switching back and forth after a few months

That notch tho 🫣

APSC mode on a ff camera is just a digital crop.

I have a question that i never find clear response it's about redmi phones especially entry and midrange models concerning control center shade why it's always greyish which makes the user experience a bit annoying unlike the blurry one .

Just came back to Android from using an iPhone for 2 months. Two things drove me crazy. The keyboard. I dont know why Gboard for iOS is so radically different then Androids. Second, the back gesture. On Android is it is so easy and Consistent. Gotta say tho, battery life was betond spectacular on the 13 Pro Max. I have never experienced this on any new or old Android, especially if you game.

Yeah, that action button should’ve been on the right side of the phone probably right above the power switch

Hey Sam, long time no see man, thanks for the video!,, I have my iPhone 14 Pro for 370 days today, I still have 100% of battery left. I’m gonna use it for at least two more years.!!! And I have been using it daily………… 😊

Bro should present at the Apple keynote 😂
