And then there is Linux mobile OS for those of us who dislike both Android and iPhones. But, Linux mobile OS is not for many, not even for most people. But that's okay. I don't need it to be for everyone. But for those who do want a third choice and are willing to take the plunge Linux has its own set of pros...and cons.
@@dontaylor4464 Why did you have to upgrade from the 12 to the 13, it's basically the same phone 🤦♂️ I mean it's your choice, but still. That was very unessary.
That's the worst for me. The ecosystem. You feel so left out if you only have 1 Apple product in your entire community (iPhone mini) in a world of Android/Windows devices.
i have a mac and ipad but really wanted to try samsung phone. absolutely loved using it but missed the integration so much. it sucks when your phone doesn't communicate with any of your other devices. i'm now back to iphone lol.
That is what I hate it, I have other products that are better...better headphone in Sony, laptop is preference...I can't stream from iphone to a big TV like Samsung Dex...apple eco system is just a subscription ecosystem that traps u
I’ve just switched to iOS too after years using Android and I completely agree with you. Widgets could be more interactive and as someone who has some Google Home devices I feel it takes a little more effort to use them.
as a lifelong android user, i never really wanted to switch to ios. i get the pros that u can get with the brand, but ultimately, i pick android everytime
I also kinda just want to stick to android because of what ik will cost me if I switch to iOS (not even the ecosystem, the software in general and how u don't have much freedom) but I want to at least try iOS for once
I've jst completely switched from the apple ecoystem and joined the Samsung ecosystem , I'm using the galaxy S21 ultra , galaxy tab s7+, galaxy book ion, galaxy watch 4 and galaxy buds live and I have to say convenience on Galaxy devices across the Galaxy ecosystem is almost on par with my time in the apple ecosystem and I don't see myself switching back anytime soon as of now , the biggest downside was the cost 😂, about 3.2k which is abt the same if I wanna remain in the apple ecosystem
@@speedypopoff gor for it. I did the same. Phones are not that exciting anymore, so switching from different OS sure gives back that excitement for a while. Apple offers less impressing features, but what it gives comes with extremely high quality
ive been using apple since i was in high school, but now that im in college ive decided to switch to android. They both have pro's and cons, but i went for android because of its expandable storage and customizability
@@maricelamoreno7539 I don't really know about the software of both Samsung and iOS since I haven't used them much but as for hardware... It's gonna be quite the jump plus the screen not being lcd on the s21 is going to help the battery even more, tho u r probably gonna need quite a bit of time tinkering with the settings and in general the freedom of android
They always have been, but as I get older I care about that less and less and just want something that is seamless and smooth and connects well with my other devices. That’s the iPhone for me. Depends what your preferences and needs, of course.
its has been for over a decade. apple had to copy most android features little by little because there will be no real update or refinement that they could do to catch customers attention.
Been an adroid user since forever and I decided to try out the iphone 13 pro max and honestly, I'm loving it so far. It took some time to adjust to the OS.
I am currently using a Note 20U and I have a iPhone 12 Pro Max. I switch between the two quite often. What I love about Samsung is the customizations. I love that Samsung keeps pushing the envelop on technology. My reason for Apple is the fact that everything works, syncs together and timely updates. Something Samsung is getting better at. Either eco system is great it all depends on the user.
I've been a long time apple user, from an iphone 3GS. I used an Android phone for a little while after the iphone 4s. The galaxy series to be specific. Then I changed back to apple until recently. Ever since the pixel 6 came out I've been excited to try and switch to it. And I did! Been using the pixel for 2 weeks now and honestly I am quite surprised as I thought I'm going to struggle to try to get used to the OS. Been enjoying the pixel so far. 😌😌
Great video Ella! I tried to switch to an iPhone and loved it, but can't seem to get used to iPhones gallery app and files app, compared to Androids. Android just makes it very easy to find everything by making separate folders for everything.
Nooooo! Don't tell me this! I'm about to buy the 13 mini just because of the size!!! I have hands of a 10 year old! I have a Samsung and the way android and especially One UI organizes the app gallery is so good !
One thing that bugs me the most is that the iPhone keyboard doesn't show the number row or alternative character (like long-press on a key to input another character) but I have to click the bottom left button every single time to access those. In my case of use, I need to juggle between letters and digits a lot so this is truly an inconvenience. Also, the default calculator app on Samsung is far more superior with history and built-in unit converter.
The real clincher for me, after literally decades of Android use, was the glitchiness of apps and occasional freezing. Because Android developers have to take into account an huge number of handsets and hardware configurations, the best you’ll ever get from Android is “good enough” where Apple iOS is one ecosystem where every app is designed and optimized for it and its devices. If an app doesn’t work or causes my device issues, what’s the point of all that customization?
Do you miss anything with android? I'm using an s22 ultra, but this new controversy of samsung batteries expanding is incredibly worrying. Iphone really seems to be the only other choice. I've enjoyed the large squared off screen, s pen and freedom on android, but much less am I doing those android power user things anymore. How much more snappy and fluid feeling is ios? I suppose I should just go to a store and check it out. I just don't see any premium android options with the stuff I prefer from Samsung. So if I switch I feel like I might as well just go with iphone?? Thoughts?? Good animations and fluidity is something I value. Maybe that can make up for the notch and rounded off corners.
@@hobosnake1 tbh go with the iphone, my dad's samsung has a swollen battery too, same goes for one of my friend's s21 ultra. with the iphone you get better performance and a screen that doesn't curve and break on impact (speaking from experience) 😭
I made the move to iPhone 13 Pro from OnePlus 7 Pro. My first day with the iPhone I was thinking oh no I a made a huge mistake, but once I got over the shortcomings of iOS, I have been tremendously happy with this phone. I thought the notch would be my biggest annoyance, coming from OnePlus Pro 7, but surprisingly it hasn't bothered me due to that screen real estate note being super important for the OS. The biggest negatives for me are how iOS does notifications and icon arrangement. The biggest pros have been the superior RAM management on iOS and the strong battery life.
I just switched from ios to android and my annoyance so far is the opposite of you. I can't stand how android sends notifications and the biometrics need worm.
@@raeclack3068 It was really just a week or two. Don't get me wrong, I still have a bucket of nitpicks, but I've come to respect the predictable reliability of iOS. And the hardware performs so well, especially the battery life. If you are lukewarm on the Android choices (like I was), the 13 Pro or Pro Max is probably as good a time as ever to jump in. It seems like it should be pretty easy to not get too locked into the ecosystem, so I can jump back to Android at any point.
I agree! Lifelong Android user here, using OnePlus 6, Pixel 4a5g, and OnePlus 9. I just switched to an iPhone 13 Pro and it took me two weeks to get used to it. I really like the speed, battery life, and smaller size. My Androids were nice but I have yet to experience the screen freeze of Android. The battery life has been a day and a half of calls, texts, news sites, and some RU-vid.
i once switched to iOS from my Samsung note 9 , worst mistake ever. having to repeatedly reach for the top left or top right of the phone, slow lightning port, cant download files and videos easily, notifications were messy, no always on display, no dual sim.. list is endless. i find it strange when people try to justify all these just by saying the iPhone just "works" , even the network and data speeds are low on the iPhone . well to each his own. For me its Android on samsung S and note series which is the total package.
Half of the things you mentioned don't make sense. To go back, you just swipe anywhere from the left (top to bottom). What do you mean you can't download files easily? What type of files? What do you mean notificatyions are messy? I don't get it. Why would network speeds be slower on an iPhone? I do like the idea of reverse wireless charging and an always on display, but that's not on every single android phone.
@@Jonny-317 i am a user of both iPhone 13 pro max and s21 ultra. I think what he was commenting on, like in her video swiping to go back is much more seamless on the galaxy device can be done anywhere and with ios it cannot some pages require you to hit the back tab located at the top or bottom depending on how the page was designed and you swipe from left to right to back which isn’t convenient for right users and not exactly seamless. He is also talking about the left and right top of the screen which is how you access notifications or the tool tab. On android it’s a little easier because you can just swipe down once or twice depending on how you like it and brings the tools and notifications down to you making one handed use far more easy to use. I’ve noticed for files and downloads it’s hit or miss for both devices but if you are pairing with windows I feel that Samsung and Microsoft work a little more seamless. As far as signal I don’t know maybe his phones antennas aren’t good but I can’t tell. The only thing I feel is better when it comes to signal is my s21 ultra for some reason it has much better Wi-Fi signal than my iPhone 13 pro max. Maybe it’s the way the Wi-Fi cards were designed. All in all both are great devices. I like my iPhone as my work phone and my galaxy as my personal phone. Both great choices and really can do most of the same things with ease.
You have to realise S21 have received countless amount of firmware updates ever since its launch, and vast majority of its bugs and glitches have been polished over time although I'd say that they still don't run as stable as it should.. at least on my S21 Ultra. Most of the bugs and glitches you experienced with Pixel 6 models are mostly to do with the new Android 12 as this iteration is one of the biggest change and overhaul coming from Android 11, Also Android 12 along with Pixel series (especially the Pixel 6 series) have not even had a proper firmware update yet since release. Just a November security update which was very minor. That's why the upcoming December security update will have over whopping 100 different optimizations and bug fixes to both Android 12 and Pixel 6 models such as thermal battery improvements, camera stability and performance improvements, various of sensor improvements along with fingerprint and so many more to list. If you still have your Pixel 6, try and wait until the 13th Dec as that's when the update will rollout on your Pixel 6. I would say this massive update will put Pixel 6s where it needs to stand within the competition. I am noticing tons of improvements and refinements to optimization on my Pixel 5 already as the older Pixel models received it yesterday, a week earlier than Pixel 6s.
@@androguyy That's not the case unfortunately. Previous Pixels were notorious for having a ton of hardware and software issues, my Pixel 4 is still buggy, the list of Pixel 6 issues are really long. Very unfortunate.
@@sarfaraz.hosseini Then you are also wrong my friend, my Pixel 4 that I had for a year and a half had no issues apart from its poor battery life. Literally every phones have issues and traditionally Pixel phones gets bashed around by "tech media" more than others.
Samsung has an AirDrop feature too You can also sync your settings among Samsung gadgets. iPhone is a crappier overall smartphone, except the CPU with is actually better than any Android
I've been primarily an Android user but have occasionally used iPhones. I have a pixel 4a 5g and have been eyeing the iPhone 13, I think I'm getting a bit tired of all the different types of phones, and i already have a MacBook, iPad, and airpods so I feel an iPhone would work much better with them than my pixel. It's a good phone but sometimes there's glitches and crashes, and I keep on wondering how polished iOS is. Also I'm very aesthetic oriented and can't deny how good the pink iPhone looks, and there's so many cute accessories for them too! If I get an iPhone I'll definitely miss the customization, I love changing icon packs and the sizes and everything, but I don't think it would be a huge deal for me. Just hoping it becomes easier in the future lol. Thanks for the video! It's very helpful for people on the fence like me lol
Honestly as someone who always switched back and forth, I just think iPhones are consistent at hitting every spot a phone should be good at. Android phones are amazing but there is always like one thing each Android phone just can’t nail. Oneplus - camera/video quality, Samsung - battery life (under my experience) Pixel - I don’t like Google UI, I prefer One UI or OxygenOS.
iPhones also have a long list too lol...I used both for years, couple of years back it was about performance and iOS was best....iPhones horrible display with a notch, terrible notification, closed ecosystem....lacks alot of features.
There's some small but important things I found when switching to iPhone from my galaxy. For one, the data speeds are better on the iPhone. Samsung has similar features that are supposed to work like air drop for example that don't work as well as how Apple does it. The battery life on iPhone is so much better its actually disturbing.
Google Assistant is much better than Siri and I use it on the Google Nest Hub and I have also installed the Google Assistant app on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. On Google Assistant, I really enjoy the speed of responses and the ability to set multiple timers that cab is named and unnamed. For example, I can say, "Hey Google, set a timer called cook for 15 minutes". However, I can set at most one timer using Siri. I agree with you 100% that widgets on iPhone are absolutely useless because they replaced something that was much more dynamic in nature. A widget is equivalent to clicking an app's icon. All the best on your finals and please do keep the videos coming.
Hi Ella! Agree with you regarding the navigation and everything. I previously used S20 FE and switched to iphone 12 pro just this year (I know its late). My conclusion is, except the video camera quality and airdrop of iPhone, S20FE gives totally better user interface ans experience! I kinda regret switching to iPhone :,)
One feature that most of the time is overlooked in iOS is the build-in 2fa (2 factor authentication) generator. Once setup it will also be available on your Mac. And you don’t have to put the code in manually.
I don’t get why people like to stick to just one platform, taste the rainbow people, I used Android from 2012 to 2018 and iOS from 2018 current and I love both platforms both have their pros and cons.
I have been switching back and forth from iOS and Android but ended up with iOS for consistency and tired of customising my phone after a while. But I do see the benefit of Android OS (unless you are fully integrated to Apple Ecosystem).
Almost everyone gives attention to OS before buying a phone,but for me they are all same. You can watch RU-vid at both,can make calls,chat,play games and list goes on. So phone is a phone,they are the same
I had my eyes on Iphone 12 for a while the moment it came out because the design really made me want to try out Iphone because i’ve been using android phones for well over 10 years then when the iphone 13 came out i finally decided to go for it, switched from galaxy S10+ to Iphone 13 pro max, about 4 months in and i can say i really loved it, aside from not being able to download music for free and listen to it offline or download modded apk files my experience with ios has honestly been fantastic, also realised there’s no chat head bubble for messenger on ios which was something i pretty much use 24/7 but i can cope with it
The case drop on the carpet floor. I get it you don’t wanna damage your phone but nothing was gonna happen regardless lol. Enjoyed your review though! Keep up the good work.
Why doesn't anyone ever mention the junky keyboard? No number row and hitting the shift key just to get to the punctuation keys is such a pain! Another one of the features that I'll miss most is continuous screen capture. Capturing a whole text conversation in just 1 screenshot is boss. Also, what app(s) did you use to make the switch? Did your messages come over to the new phone?
Recently got a second hand Z Fold 3, trying to adapt myself to Android, as a 10 years old Apple user. Had to say Apple’s display, smoothness, and simplicity are really pleasant to the eyes, hoping Android does similar favours.
With having had a s21 ultra , I miss being able to customize everything but I love that I don’t have to worry about constantly having a charger on me!! With my i13 pro max , I love the quality of my photos, no blurriness ! I also love that it barely looses battery life. I do wish that there was a bit more customization but overall I’m very happy with the switch 😊
dropping your phone on the carpet, yeah that was too dangerous!. I was shocked when I saw the phone surviving a one-meter drop on the carpet. you did the impossible. you saved your phone from a certain death
It was really interesting hearing your perspective after being predominantly an android user. I had gotten the s10+ for a few months but I just missed the iPhone after about half a year. I do really miss RU-vid pip; I know there was an announcement a while ago that it was coming to iOS users in America. I think it is still only for subscribers of RU-vid premium.
I used both android and ios before. Since i bought apple watch and airpods I now fully use ios simply for the efficient eco system. and definitely i miss some android functions but my taste in tech goes to apple 🍏
I’ve just changed to iphone 11 from s21U, and I really miss youtube vance, because watching youtube on IOS is quite annoying to me, but the seamless between their ecosystem is awesome
Thanks for your review. I cannot agree more with you on this. I was an iphone user since 6 came out and last year switched to Samsung Galaxy S20+ and I loved it. My last samsung was the S3 so you can imagine the difference I felt. Last month I switched back to iphone 13 (I'm still debating whether I should have bought the pro) and while I love how easy things get synced with my macbook and other apple devices, I'm still not ready to let my S20+ go. There are some apps that surprisingly work better on my samsung than on the iphone and the customization, gestures, gallery, etc. I think works better in the samsung. I miss having a separate folder for the camera roll or maybe is that I have not found how to have it on ios by default? I imported around 8K of photos that i had neatly organized in my samsung, but in the iphone all of them are in their folder and on recents! where my camera roll is as well so I'm very frustrated..... Anyways, I'm still not sure if I'll keep the iphone, I love it but I miss the other features my samsung has. At the end of the day I think I'll try to keep both.
I switched from s21 ultra to iPhone 13 and regretted it. Glad google fi is running a deal for $300 off s22 ultra plus they will give me $505 for my iPhone 13 mini. So, total of $805 of saving for just trading in my mini which I paid $699 for.
I love both, but I always switch back to Apple because of iMessage. On android after a bit messages begin to slow down coming in on group messages , soooo annoying.
Was this a permanent/semi-permanent switch, or just a switch for tech comparison? Curious to see if you plan to stick with the iPhone for the "long haul" Great vid btw!
Greetings from a stats major at UTSC. My Xiaomi was infected by a severe virus a month ago, then I switched to the iPhone 13, it's pretty efficient and easy to use. Finally, good luck with your study.
S21 just got better with the release of android 12... and foldable phones are a game changer i will never go back to iphones ever again they just are not customizable enough.... macbooks are good i have one but i recently got the samsung galaxy book pro with 32 gbs ram and the processing power is crazy
Just what I was looking for. I wish I watched this before I ordered an iPhone 13 an hour ago. I hope I don't regret it. The pro and con of iPhone is Apple's ecosystem. I love that everything works together, but I don't look forward to buying another MacBook one-day just to keep that up. Also, (about the two ecosystems) the iCloud interface doesn't stand up to Google Workspace at all.
I switched to iPhone about 4 years ago and the biggest thing I miss from my old galaxy phone is the little LED light that shows missed texts, calls etc. I also hate that I can’t buy kindle books on the app and have to open Amazon to do it.
I wish they kept the little light. But I do like the edge lighting where the phone lights up colors on the edge of the phone and you can choose the color
Android could have been made to deliver updates in a similar way to Windows 7, 10, & 11 but Google and the phone makers managed to create a dysfunctional system.
so the "pros" for using iphone only if you have other apple devices, but for someone like me who don't own any other apple devices will not have advantages from switching to iPhone.
Moved over to a iPhone 11 a year and a half ago and decided i'm most likely going to be moving onto a Galaxy Z Flip 3 after it. I've liked the 11 but that Z Flip 3 has just intrigued me so much and i'm also keen to see what the S22 is like. Most people told me when I got my 11 that once you get an iPhone you'll never go back, and I still don't find this true, both are good.
@@averagepcenjoyer4827 apparently there's some good deals going on with the flip but i'm from South Africa and yeah it's basically expensive all the time with little discounts
For me it was true. I wanted to give Apple a try for a year (11 pro max), then go back to Samsung. I got the Samsung Note 10+ and returned it after a week. I realized that I preferred to be treated as a customer rather than an admin. The things I thought I loved about android- I really didn’t care for anymore. I just want a clean, reliable, and secure experience. I didn’t need the bells and whistles that used to impress me. I do miss some features like the pen with the note, and the free picture in picture with RU-vid. But I can live without those. Airdrop, iMessage, Find My, and battery life make up for it.
@@Mimiscellaneous I decided to get a S22 Ultra just less than 2 months ago instead of the Z flip because they were doing such a good promo and trade in for my broken note 9, I've been enjoying it so far quite a bit especially since it's now a Snapdragon unit instead of an Exynos. I miss some things but overall I don't feel much regret of losing those features, probably because I used iMessage maybe twice in the year and a half I had the phone, and my airdrop was barely used too and 50% of the time it never actually work for me. So overall I'm quite happy with it but I still don't regret owning the iPhone 11, I've somewhat come to like both I guess.
I was an iPhone user from the OG iPhone to the iPhone 4, but I switched over to Android with Google's Galaxy Nexus by Samsung. I've mostly stuck with Google's Nexus and Pixel phones (trying out the HTC One series and a couple OnePlus phones), but last year I went with my first fully Samsung phone, the S21 Ultra. I don't know if I'd ever be able to go back to the iPhone. I switched over to Windows a few years after switching to Android, and I don't have any personal Apple products to pull my into the ecosystem. In fact, Windows plays very nice with Samsung, providing some of the same features you mentioned were benefits of the Apple ecosystem. All in all, I think I'm likely an Android user for the foreseeable future.
after years using android, i switched over to apple completely (w/ a macbook air, ipad, airpods, the whole shabang)... but after about two years with my iphone, for some reason i just don't like it anymore haha. i'm switching back to android in the new year for a couple reasons: 1) i only really use things like airdrop between my ipad and mac air, never really used those features with my iphone 2) the apple device line up just seem so bland to be now. new iphone every year, looks almost exactly liek the previous generation just with a better camera and refresh rate. this is the main reason i'm switching back to android for my cellphone use, i've had my eyes set on the new zflip 3 :O 3) also the restrictive storage space is ridiculous on apple products 😅
If u want to switch to android, it most likely shouldn't be a "still in beta" phone like the z flip 3, wait a few years and check reviews if u want to buy a foldable or a flip phone
Am a fully android fan for years most especially the samsung......Can u also do a video on the samsung eco- system please.....wanna know how samsung eco works too and if it worth sucked into samsung system fully
Great video Ella!! I was wondering if you could make a comparison video between the Airdrop function and the Samsung Dex. I never had an Iphone so it got me curious if both functions are similar
That was a pretty balanced review. Android offers too many choices and too many customizations for me to stay with Apple. I use a MacBook but my phone choice is Android. Love minimizing Google maps, RU-vid videos, always on display, having a back button or easy gestures when using gesture mode. I just wish Android companies did a better, longer job of supporting their devices.
I left the s21 ultra for iPhone 13 mini and I regret it. I thought since I have a Mac that it would be a good idea. I miss the Samsung. I’m getting the s22 ultra next month. I’ll continue to use the MacBook and use android for my phone.
best wishes for your finals! It's true that the "return" gesture on android ends up being better than on iOS but yeah overall iOS feels like more polished
I don't understand why people say Android crashes. I never gave app crashes on any android device I've used. I don't know what people are doing with their phones but Android has always been rock solid for me.
samsung used the widgets many years back..Iphone just implemented it in ios 14. Both have their pros and cons.Iphone gadgets are more lasting and value for money.There was a period after Jobs passing on.Cook did not have the vision to maintain the vision and lost out to China and Korea in their 5G technology. I used both phones as i have a few lines.Iphone was primary the main line till iphone 11.I took the note 20 ultra. I will said that the ipone 13 have catch up...so is the M1 chip on ios and apple OS.
After many years Android I bought me a second hand IPhone 12 Pro Max. It takes a bit time to get used to it, but I love it. Did not use my old Android anymore since. But at the end, it is all about every personal preferences. For me, I stick to my Iphone12 Pro Max for a while.
So I just switched to iPhone last month and I could say that Android has much pros (for me) than ios. In Android, you can download Modded app versions while in ios, it’s forbidden. But for the Camera’s quality, iPhone has the best since I had Samsung j8 before I switched to ios. For storage, Android has the pro because of its flexibility, you can put memory card. But what I liked about ios was I was able to unlock the IG filters that are unable to use in Android 😆 Android’s batter lasts for almost 3 days while ios can only last around 12H to 1 day.
What iphone did u switch to, cuz if u see a battery test for the iphone 13 pro max, constant light to medium to heavy usage, it can still last 9 to 10 hours
I’m honestly totally unbiased when it comes to tech, because these are all just materialistic things. It just depends on what the user personally prefers on a day to day basis, whether that would be simplicity on the iOS side, or customizability on the Android side. At the end of the day, we’re all people, and we all deserve to have totally different opinions from one another, let’s all be bros here. 😇🤝😎
Hello Ella! Another nice video. I've always been an Android user. I had the first iPhone SE a year ago, which was/is really nice in size. I like the look of the new iPhones much better than the Android devices, but I'm not willing to spend 800-1000 EUR on a smartphone. That's why I'm sticking with Android. I currently have a Samsung A52s 5G and think it's great - just a bit too big. I hope that over the years smaller models will be offered again. I also love designing my home screen the way I want, testing launchers and the more open system in general. no hate! iPhone is just not in my price range and unfortunately not as easy to customize as Android.
Cool video. Good luck on exams. I was coin flipping between the Pixel or 13 Pro, and you convinced me Apple is the Lexus of phones - BMWs & Benz are the flash, but an iPhone will be worry-free.
What I hate is that iPhone has no vidmate. It’s not easy to get music for free. To me, iPhone is better at Camera. When I’m chanced I’ll switch back to android😭 I really like the way you make your videos❤️
this is one of my favorite feature, (or hand off when you can continue on app on 2nd device), but it's sad you have to be on Apple ecosystem (my main PC is with Windows), that's one of reasons why I still using Android phone (Yes copy paste between devices works on android too). If I'm wrong correct me...
Thanks for this video! I switched from my iPhone 6 to Galaxy S10, but I think I’ll switch back next time for the convenience of compatibility across my other Apple devices.
@@frieza2235 overall I’m sticking to it because I’m ridiculously deep into the ecosystem now. I originally gave it a go because my AirPods (pro and standard) were behaving badly on my android phones. Now I have Apple Watch, MBP, AirTag, and soon iPad to go along with the phone and AirPods, I’m too far to turn back. Overall my satisfaction mostly comes from the integration with everything else rather than how well the phone works. Quick example of something android does that iPhone doesn’t: You have your screen locked on portrait mode and you click on a video link and start watching the video, then decide that you’d like to go full screen. On android, your screen will automatically go into landscape mode and fill the screen as you’d want it to. On iPhone, when clicking the full screen button the phone will stay in portrait mode instead of changing to landscape and filling your screen with the video. In order to do this, you need to swipe down to controls and unlock the orientation button, then turn your phone and after you’re done, relock onto portrait. Fine to do this once or twice but imagine that you watch many videos daily from plenty of sources. This does work on the RU-vid app but not on other places like Reddit for example.
After buying and using iPhone 13 for more than a month, I've realised that I miss a handful of Android features too much to really enjoy the iPhone. My next Phone will likely be a Pixel but not any other Android phone.
@@huychau7551 No. Too much bloatware and duplicate applications. I especially hate Galaxy Store that tries to install applications all the time. It is also less privacy-friendly. I am already agreeing to Google's tracking. Don't want another company to track on top of it.
I also switched from android to ios this year. I am using android since 2012. It was weird in the beginning to use iOS. But got used to it. They have their own pros n cons.
I'm glad you talked about the navigation. For some reason no one who compares android to ios talks about this feature. Its a huge con for me, I'm so used to the easy to use gestures that work in every app. I really want to go back to ios, but thats a big annoyance for me.
i won't lie i was thinking of the MacBook Pro 14" a few minutes ago, remembered that Ella is doing a giveaway and wondering when the final video would drop, and this video notification popped up in some time. I'm not even kidding lol.
Biggest problem: They are freakin heavy! Even the smaller iPhone pro weighs 200g. Surprisingly even heavier than z flip 3 with all those hinges and components... Since i've been enjoying using the new MacBook and iPad, i really want to switch my Galaxy to iPhone too, but the weight and the fact that it doesn't support apple pay in my country is what still holds me back :
@@mlkwy the 60hz on iphone is mighty fast for 60, but I get it, it would feel like a downgrade if u go back to 60 from 120, tho if u did want to get a mini get the 13
I was originally an android user. But when iphone 6 came out, i jumped over to ios. After using the iphone 7 plus, again, i switched to android. But when iphone 11 came out, i came back to ios. Then, i bought samsung note 20 ultra. But when iphone 13 pro came out, i came back again. Hahahaha. Life is amazing.
Going from Android 12 on the pixel 5 to a temporary iPhone that was lent to me until I can fix my main phone has been a difficult adjustment! I'm not a big fan of the lack of aesthetic customization on iPhones and how the software feels a little slow and clunky with navigation, but overall my impression of the iPhone is that it's just kind of doing what it needs to do and not offering much more outside that essential experience
1:52 I would hope dropping the phone on carpet, with or without a case would not result in any damage. Let's take it outside to the concrete and asphalt and then we can have a conversation.
I just switched to iOS (due to the cameras on the iPhone 13 Pro) I am still struggling a bit without the return button, trying to adapt to the "gesture" mode on the iOS.
swipe up to get home swipe up and hold or swipe up in home to show tabs. idk how to go back like an android back button since i havent gotten my iphone yet u can watch a video how to use iphone X so yk gestures
Hey, Ellla! Great video as always! I've been thinking about getting a new phone. Right now I have a galaxy note 10 plus, and I've been debating between upgrading to an iPhone 13 or a galaxy z flip 3. Any thoughts?
I upgraded from S9+ to iPhone 13 pro. Things I miss out on in addition to what’s mentioned in the video: I miss not having LED light notifications bar, chat heads don’t pop up and I can’t read full text or reply to messages directly from notification bar.
I have an S10+ right now and an iPhone 13 Pro Max that just shipped. I mostly made the change after 10ish years on Android for the longer term updates as well as that iPhone apps tend to be better designed and developed. A lot of that is due to having a lot less devices to need to target, and with basically every device being on the same, up to date OS it's easier, Android is super fragmented. Worst case if I don't like it I have two weeks to return it. I used to be super into tinkering with my phone and customizing everything, running custom ROMs, etc. Anymore I just want something that runs great, and will for a long time. My S10+, which was a near launch device, already lasts under a day battery wise. I also have several work applications for my job that are available on mobile for iOS, but not Android.
Long time android user here. Switched to iPhone 12, 4 months ago just to try it out. Plan was to just have the one phone but I hated the iOS so much at the beginning, I decided to hold on to my android. Now I use both. Main Sim is in the android.
i would have to agree with the 'best' part of apple ecosystem. 5 years of software guarantee on iPhone though is a huge difference - since apple cameras are already great, you will just need up-to-date software/updates over time. this saves you money as you wont need to upgrade too often.
Very helpful overview! I've been an Android user since graduating from flip phones (except a brief period with a work iphone, which was fine.) Now my pixel 2 is dying and I'm trying to decide if I go for another android or move to iphone. The privacy /no tracking features on the iPhone are a big motivator, and the 12 mini is one of the very very few phones that will actually fit my hands. The big issue is I'm just so habituated to all the android features.
as you probably know, the iPhone 12 mini's battery life isn't great. if you usually have screen-on times over 4 hours a day, I'd look at getting the iPhone 13 mini instead, as I believe you can get it for not much more. personally though I'd stay with android :D I prefer Samsung's but you might prefer a more stock android experience like on your Pixel.
So your biggest plus for the iPhone is how well it works with all your other Apple devices but the ecosystem breaks down when you introduce an Android phone to it? Of course it does. The same can be said if you’re all in on the Samsung ecosystem and you throw an iPhone into the mix. Both ecosystem are darn near identical in experience when all your devices are from one or the other.
