The END of the Smartphone Wars.

I switched from iPhone to Samsung in the last decade and my life is the same

i switched to android after being a lifelong iphone user (since 3g), and it wasnt bad at all. All my stuff migrated to the new phone just fine and i dont regret it, rocking a S23 ultra now and having nothing to complain!

People should learn how statistics work. If you want an IOS device you only have one manufacturer to choose from. On the other hand, Android offers hundreds of manufacturers. In total Apple only has approximately 16% global market share. If more manufacturers could offer an IOS device this chart would look different.

I used iphone since the start, but I switched to Samsung and no problems at all. I wish I switched long time ago.

This sounds like a USA-only statistic. 2012 to 2015 had the most fun and innovative cellphone tech. Windows Phone was my favorite.

Use both. Transcend in to utopia.

Android user here, tried iPhone and went back to android. Got annoyed that I couldn't do a few small things. I'm too used to 5 icons at the bottom the size I want them for example. Apple may add that one day or it may already be a thing but I honestly can't be bothered to try now.

Android - Do whatever whenever you want. Apple - Comply and do what you are told.

When the smartphone wars end, we'll all just be left arguing over who has the best memes

I have been on Android forever. My next phone will be an Android and the one after that will be an Android. iOS doesn't interest me as I like the freedom of Android.

This video is just another apple marketing video more than proper analytical video

I literally just switched from iPhone to Android two weeks ago after using iPhones for 8 years. It wasn't a nightmare at all. Both systems have their benefits imo, but I don't think I would go back to iPhone that fast anymore after using Android for just two weeks. It just gives me so much more freedom to do whatever the hell I want with it. I have grown increasingly annoyed with how restrictive iOS is.

Things have not been the same after Apple went all-in on the iPhone X

Man, windows Phone could’ve been epic if they had got the devs on board. Also the Passport was such a fun device. The good ole days

I just switched from iPhone to Android recently and if anything happened is that i feel much better now. Oh wait, i live in Europe where i can actually decide things.

What about in other places than the US? Here in the UK, nearly everybody i've ever met who has a phone, has an Android phone.

5:54 you’re absolutely right, I worked full time at a busy corporate AT&T retail store from last May until February, and I’m not kidding when I say I helped ONE person switch from iPhone to android, he originally had Samsung but his wife talked him into iPhone with his last upgrade, and he never got used to it. Beyond that, I mean we didn’t even have to sell the phones themselves anymore, iPhone buyers came to buy iPhone and Samsung Samsung

What are the iPhone vs Android marketshare numbers worldwide??? Not just in the United States...

why would anyone want to only have one phone platform survive? Imagine having the option of only one car to buy, or one style of jeans from the same company. Having options spurs innovation and competition. Not sure if I want the company that limits USB-C speeds on the non pro models to USB 2.0 transfer speeds, or the same company that won't display the temperature 69 on it's phone for some reason (maybe they think their buyers aren't mature enough to see that without giggling). More importantly, why would anyone cheer on the demise of competition for devices that we get our information and content from? As for ecosystem, that is as silly an argument as "green bubbles".

I just switched from 13 pro to 24 ultra. It wasn't a pain at all. The only thing was logging into apps. I can still use my apple tv and homepod mini just fine using third party apps. Its not the ecosystem that's locking you in, it's the fear of altering your ecosystem. It's all purely psychological

I switch from iphone 14 Pro Max to Galaxy S24 Ultra. Took some getting use to but VERY worth it!

I switched from my 14 Pro to the S24 Ultra. Don't really miss a lot of it. All you need to do is take your time to adjust and replace, say, your watch with a different one. That's all I care about the most. Still use my iPad, Apple TV, and AirPods. It's your choice in which apps you download ultimately. I personally only use apps available on both platforms.

Bro I don't understand why people's switch to iphone, I guess I live in the bubble

I’m currently using S24 Ultra alongside iPhone 15 pro and iPad Pro M2. Just use both why people keep arguing 🤷🏻‍♂️

I wish their are more mobile phone brands on the market. More phones mean lower prices as competition brings down prices.

old users: I'm buying this phone simply because I want it new users: I'm buying this phone because I want attention

So who's gonna tell him that if Apple's market share is 29.27%, Android's market share is over 70%... Highest selling phone models aren't a good metric, because one company (like Apple) may have very few models, while another company (like Xiaomi) may have very many models. So say people buy a new Xiaomi, maybe a million people, they will all get various phones, so not one phone will have a million from those sales. If a million people buy a new iPhone, well the 15 is the new iPhone, so the iPhone 15 series (split over 3 models is it?) will get the million sales.

99% of android users are pragmatic people who tried both and preffered android. Most iphone users got stuck in the ecosystem as a kid, never tried anything else, and are now locked in Apple's jail. Most NEVER tried android

Who likes the new FPT ⬇️⬇️⬇️

There hasn’t been tech news in decades, although I do like these new kinds of videos you’ve been dropping jerm

this list is most popular phone models sold. but if you shift to most popular os ,its android, its misrepresentation of facts...

I switched to iPhone a few months ago and it definitely was a nightmare 😭, had to change my whole ecosystem.

"If everyone is a superhero, no one is." ~ Incredibles. The last dialogue reminded me of this.

i've had iphones and never bought not even the apple watch so i've never been stuck with the echo system. That's why i'm able to jump back and forth from iphones 2 android/samsung phones. I switched from the 14 pro max to the s24 ultra and i'm loving it.

Popular never translates to best. Ain't no way I'm going to subject myself to an antiquated straightjacket.

Apple iPhone sales dropped by 25% in China so I have no idea where you get your data.

I usually switch between Android and iPhone every time I get a phone. The biggest issue I run into is disconnecting my number from iMessage. I like the iPhone but I am usually tempted by the customization and technology on Android. My last phone upgrade was an iPhone 13 Pro to a Google Pixel Fold. I plan on using this phone until it breaks or apple comes out with something more tempting.

Jon says, “Let’s go back, maybe about a decade.” 2014 pops up on screen and I said to myself, “God damn I didn’t think about that being a decade.”

I have been around for the smartphone wars ever since Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) was new. Crazy how times have changed, and I’m not entirely sure it’s for the better.

Global marketshare has only seen a 5% decline for Android over the last 5 years. The top 10 phones is probably more explained by the huge variety of Android phones that are being pumped out each year, where as when you buy an iPhone you only have a few options.

It’s not over because most of the phones aren’t available in the United States should as Hawei , and other phones

I'm vendor-agnostic within the Android ecosystem. I've owned multiple different models from HTC, Sony, LG, Samsung over the years. I go with whoever has the best specifications (fastest SoC, most storage and RAM, smallest, lightest in the 6.2"-6.7" range - I believe 6.4"/6.5" is ideal). I can't consider Apple because of how proprietary and locked down they are. I need to be able to customise my home screen to the way I like it and to be able to just plug my phone into any computer and copy files to/from it without any special software. I am keen to move to a folding phone when they're 8mm thin and a normal screen ratio on the outside that just folds out to a nice small tablet without added thickness when folded in normal use. Apple doens't seem to be doing anything in this space either. Samsung is really pioneering.

Comparing Top 10 Best-selling Smartphones to Smartphone market share seems a bit off to me

The Smartphone Wars were SO much worse too... Heated arguments on iPhone vs Android, since the differences were huge back then

Honestly I was a lifetime android user, but I upgraded from my Note 9 to the iphone 15 pro max. But I did so purely for my business (because all of my clients use imessage). Other than that though, I miss Android in so many ways. I am so limited and restricted on this iphone. I will jump back to Android as soon as I can - which will hopefully be when RCS support comes to iphone. Then I don't have to worry about imessage. But ya I don't see iphone winning the way because their device is actual shit. If their device was good, then ya. But there have been so many glitches and just stupid decisions apple makes that I am already sick of this thing after only 6 months.

And then there is me with a MacBook, Windows Pc, iPad and an Android phone.

Just choose what works for you. I love compact devices and I was a diehard android fan before I switched to the apple with an iPhone 11 pro. It was a great phone but a little bit heavy for me. When I saw the 13 mini, I said thats it. Hardware-wise it was the peak smartphone, everything you need in that small device. I gave 11 pro to my cousin and bought the 13 mini. I used it for 2 years and recently I switched back to the android again with Zenfone 10.

It has to be because the iPhone was the first to adopt USB-C charging.

Dude. You are looking lean! Well done sir!

You know what's pretty funny? He just laid the DoJ case right here and he didn't even know it.

I swapped from android to iPhone a few months back, I found the transition fairly easy, don’t plan on going back

My friend switched from iPhone 13 to Pixel 8 Pro and I went from S9 to XS Max...

I switched from android to iPhone when the iPhone 15 came out. The eco system drew me in through the iPad I used for university. There's definitely pros and cons to both but I like the consistency and interoperability that won out for me. Never cared about the whole iMessage green bubble/blue bubble thing, but I did care about cross-device apps and switching smoothly between phone to tablet to computer ect.

Apple stock performance in the past 6 months makes the first 10 seconds of this video feel like it was recorded 5 years ago

I am not locked into one ecosystem making me able to chose between the two platforms every time I switch

Just because iPhones dominate the market, does not mean that people are in on the Apple ecosystem. How many of those iPhones are getting Spotify installed over Apple Music, Google Photos over the photo app, and Dropbox over iCloud?

i switched from lifelong android to apple this january. i never was locked into an ecosystem so i never struggled in the transition.

I've ditched the "ecosystem" a year ago and....nothing happened. It's more about understanding what you really need to use rather what you are being offered to use.

Main reason FPT doesn't mention is most girls are on iPhones.

I was Android until December 2016. It lost its magic for me. I’ve been with iPhone since. I’ve been happy with it. But, even if I wanted to switch, I couldn’t. I’m too deep into the Apple Ecosystem. They got me. I even got the flippin credit card!

Just one question, is that North American sales or world wide sales you showed?

I switched from iPhone to the S24 Ultra after years of being an iPhone user. I've never been happier and never going back to iPhone. So not sure where you got your data

"the future is HEADED somewhere else", while holding a Vision Pro lol nice work

I got rid of my iPhone recently within the last month. I haven't ever been tied down to an ecosystem before. I switch between the two every once in a while, but I started liking android more.

Man the quality is skyrocketing with each video you post! From the presentation to the sound 🤌🏽 Always a good way to end the night here in Poland 🙂‍↕️

The saddest thing about this is that Apple has proven to us that their best work comes when there IS a lot of competition. When there is little competition, they get lazy real fast. cough cough apple watch

I’ve pretty much exclusively used iPhones since iPhone 7, and this news sucks. Apple needs good competition, if you think their prices are high now, wait till android doesn’t have any market share…

Sir! Back in 2010 BB was the BEST option for a "power user" and I loved my BB Bold 😭

Apple makes good prisons. They should get into the private prison business.

love how this channel is evolving.

My family have all bought Pixel phones in the last year. The huge advantage of Pixel phones over iPhones is that they only cost half as much as an equivalent iPhone and have the best Android experience. I opted for an iPhone SE 2020 two years ago because I needed a mute switch to avoid being told off by employers about the difficult to stop beeps coming from my Android phone. I make zero use of the Apple ecosystem. I don't store photos in the iCloud. I use Microsoft OneDrive instead.

long time android user: i tried a new iphone for three weeks like half a year ago. what ca i say. it does what a phone is supposed to do. i'd choose an iphone camera over an android one everyday, but my next phone will be a galaxy with an s pen. it's quirky, it's perfect!

Recently switched from android to iPhone and I want to go back 😭😭😭

Its so embarresing how many people fall for apples disgusting methods and people think its cool to have apple

I really enjoyed that, thank you very much sir.

I was an iPhone user for over 10 years. Just this last year I switched. Samsung Z Flip 5! I got tired of the boring iPhone. Yes they are great. But man are they stale. It just hit me that I had been buying the latest top tier iPhone for the past decade and hadn't noticed much change in the last several years. It was just a phone and just a camera. I was no longer excited about it. I missed that excitement. So I found it elsewhere. Thanks Samsung and One Plus and Google for keeping the excitement in the smartphone market!!

I been in the android ecosystem since 2017 I am Pixel guy since 2XL and I switch phones every year currently on Pixel 8 Pro

I’m getting a sense of deva Ju here haha

I think Marques Brownlee switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy S24 Ultra in an instant and it probably doesn't affect his life at all. He seems to enjoy going to the Android OS and he's certainly an Apple advocate for the most part. If you're good with tech, you'll adapt in a short time to a different ecosystem.

As an Army war Veteran I never laughed so hard at “this is our Vietnam!” 😂 Also nice green bubbles shout out to Sam!

7:22 What the hell? That phrase right there proves how biased you are.

True... I use to be Samsung Note guy until they started blowing up,. Samsung now finally went back to a flat screen, that curved screen was so irritating that it kept me away. I tried the S24 Ultra, trying to move all of my keychain passwords was a nightmare. I sent the S24 back lol But man the customization is just sooooo good.

This video didn’t age well Apple is in hot water lol 😅

Android still has more than 80% market share as it has for years. Saying that iPhone accounts for 15% of last year's phone sales is hardly any different from 10 years ago

My last switch [iPhone to Android] was 7.5 years ago. Prior to that, an iPhone 3, iPhone 5 until about 2016. My Apple stock has been very good to me, though.

I really hope Jern does more tech reviews, his style is truly unique to ANYONE on the internet doing tech reviews. Everyone follows the formula MKBHD does, it’s refreshing to see something new and unique

Ive been in the android ecosystem for 7 years now. I'm now currently in the process of switching to apple just because of the fact that most of my friends and family use iPhone.

“Personal equity” is the best way to put it in the most valuable thing to Apple.

I stopped watching your vids for a while only for me to return and see you lookin leaner than before, noice.

I personally switched from a decade of using to iPhone to using an S23 in November and it was the best decision I ever made.

I switched from android to iPhone in 2020 when we all got our stimulus checks. Because I’m blind and the screen reader on iPhone is better than the one that was at least on android at the time when I switched.

Don't know where did you get your numbers but Android have 72% share vs iOS with less then 28% share

I'm still using my iPhone 11 Pro Max and I really don't see any reason to upgrade at the moment. The phone market today for me has stalled and I really don't see any real progress happening.

I think alot of android manufacturers mad the mistake of thinking android users wanted iphones so they started making they're version..but what made android so great was that most companies were pushing the status quo we didn't know and were very excited about what was coming next now its just the same boring bore every year.

the ACTUAL reason why iphones are all in the top 10, is cause whoever wants to buy new ios phones is limited to those. BUT, in android, there are dozens of companies making new phones, so most people opt for what suits them best, and the sales split into more phones. for example, my friend group, 6 people, all have different androids. i have a realme gt2 pro, one friend has the samsung a 54, another the xiaomi note 13 pro, another has a motorola and the last friend of mine has a poco. if it were only one android company, like samsung for example, samsung would most likely have the top phones, as android marketshare is higher and those phones would be purchased by the people who preffer android, making the numbers overall bigger.

hey jern.... so... iphones are more like toyotas than ferraris?

Apple wins in America n china , but the rest of the world has android for easy access and prices

I live in Europe, but I am a tech enthusiast and been watching trends. My opinion of what happened, some major events: 1- Blackberry failed and all companies switched to iPhones because of security, OS predictability and success factor / reputation. 2- Consumers got hung on Apple products as they got hung on Coca Cola 3- Competitors were crushed by politics and lobbyists, see Huawei 4- Nokia failed to dump Widows early on and move to Android; got bought & sold and lost. Similar to this Sony/Ericsson/LG/HTC did not adapt with the trends and lost the start 5- Samsung had and has such a diverse product lines that no one gets impressed by the brand name. They did not focus entirely on a few models and design. 6- App companies had a better life developing for iOS instead of Android due to the latter having so many variants, flavours and potential complexities. Lastly, I am writing this from an iPhone 13 which I find very difficult to type on. My thumbs hurt. But at least I got it free.

I miss when Sony, LG, Motorola, HTC, etc. had flagships that battled with Samsung. Those were the true wars in my opinion.
