Updates for only two years for really expensive devices and Sony behind them (they now want to charge you 150$ plus tax to upload custom grids to their newest cameras and do bad stuff with helldivers…)
@Lakitha12486 I guess it doesn't matter as much on iPhone where you can't customize the status bar, but I like being able to put things in the middle of my status bar, and these usually kill the ability for that.
Try connecting a usb/HDMI/card reader hub to an iPhone and access various content on a monitor in a desktop environment. I don't even think if you spec a $4k MacBook pro that's possible?
I am a long time Android user who is forced to use iOS at work. The lack of a back button on iOS drives me crazy. Each new app, each new installment of the fun game "How do I go back on this?"
@@AntoshaPushkin Nope. It's an official, sturdy and suitable device that outclasses anything iPhone has put out within the last decade. It can do everything iOS 18 can, and so much more, without the hassle of having one account linked to everything and being forced to have a payment method on file just to download apps. 🙃
@@alirahimi92 Define Sideloading: "Sideloading means installing an app outside of an official app store"...... Also Apple first used this terminology??? What the hell crack are you smoking lmfao. Sideloading is a term coined in the 90's, 20 years before the iOS App Store. Android allowed sideloading before the iPhone even got their own app store. You are talking so much BS I can smell it through my TV screen lmfao
Another huge benefit of Android is that You can use browsers that have desktop extensions. Kiwi can use pretty much any Chrome extension and now Firefox. Stable has finally supported 90% of desktop extensions as well. They'll let you try for any of them. It used to be limited to the nightly version, but now it's on stable. And of course third party launchers, man. They can make it feel like you have a whole new phone.
firefox have some decent ones but not as good as kiwi but i wish google chrome or brave have extensions like on the desktop. samsung internet has them too but , i can't install the ones i use for work on that however, samsung internet feels the closest to a full desktop version , other than kiwi
As a Galaxy S23 user, I can confirm that iPhones are overpriced to be E-Waste, but I can also confirm that my fully touchscreen Blackberry Leap 10 was the best phone I used. Those gestures man! They were so good and the UI was very consistent and beautiful!
Okay that's a stretch I've used both Apple and Samsung, I like Samsung better, but I feel like I have a fairly objective view of both companies' products. Apple overcharges for storage and ram upgrades even more than Samsung does, but aside from that? Their hardware's priced pretty competitively. Samsung's $600 tablet tier may have a bigger screen and more storage plus a stylus included, but Apple's $600 tablet has a much more powerful chip. Samsung's $1300 phone and Apple's $1200 phone have very similar specs, slight edge to Samsung but they also have the slight edge in price. Samsung offers discounts on their products whereas Apple basically never does, so a frugal shopper will get better bang for their buck from Samsung than Apple, but full price? They're basically the same. And my last Apple phone lasted me about 5 years before I got bored of it and wanted to try Samsung. It was still kicking totally fine. I way prefer One UI over IOS from a software usability standpoint, so much better for my needs that it's not even a contest. But Apple making ewaste? Just not true. They are a perfectly viable option.
@@sparky6757 I may have exaggerated a tiny bit, but my point stands. They are destined e-waste, not e-waste from the start. Why? Because iPhones are unbelievable unrepairable. Almost every component nowadays in an iPhone is serialised to the CPU. Changa a conponent? Now It's functionality is crippled, or outright disabled. With my samsung phones on the other hand. I had a old A71 of mine which I didn't really have a use for. Well guess whay, I just unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom operating system, now I use It for a lot of helpfull tasks. Phones are going to break, It's not a matter of If, but a matter of when. And when apple decided to stop accepting repairs of a older iPhone, then cannot be repaired and re-serialised. At some point, apple "accidentally" iCloud locked a lot of iPhone 6s or 7s, while trying to do something else. They didn't acknowledge their mistake or revert It. What are those phones now? E-Waste
@@sparky6757and that is how they End up like that Apple user "sammy does it, so apple not bad" Samsung user "Apple did it, Why only callout samsung" in this fight they both get the profit and the user is the one to lose out
Apple is so popular in the U.S. that it's more of a cultural thing rather than people making informed decisions. There are still plenty of android users in the U.S.
@@samanjj not good enough, I don't want locking my phone or ignoring the call without the option to just click a button or swipe on a slider. Terrible design decision imo. It's the most fundamental use of a phone
Android has always been the better OS but in the last couple of years Android has really surpassed IOS in its UI and usability in literally every aspect. IOS users are so far gone that we should feel sorry for them, then have a good laugh ha ha ha
Most of larger cellphone carriers are getting away from physical SIM cards, though. Most of the world's major cellphone carriers offer eSIM support, even in China and most of India.
@@Sacto1654 In some backyard countries like Romania you'd wish to have a SIM card tray to get your *private prepay SIM* from witch you have *unlimited 4G and 5G data traffic for 6 euro* Sadly in civilized countries are better options so you don't need *private* and *unlimited* virtually free data :D
Funny thing about the curser is it used to work. Then somewhere along the line they just broke it and decided that was ok. Used to at least get a nice magnifying glass to see where the curser was and you could move it specifically where you wanted it if you had any issues. Now the curser is just hidden under your finger so you can’t see the exact location and it never goes where it’s supposed to.
@@GamerTown-cm4gk well that’d be dumb of them to assume that because I wasn’t aware of this lol. That’s not exactly intuitive and it’s not like they give out instructions with their phones or never ending updates. Apart from discovering it on accident unless people watch videos to find this stuff out there’s no way of knowing any of the hidden gestures and controls that change all the time. Plus they could have left the magnifying glass and did the spacebar deal. They didn’t have to take that away from those of us that didn’t know about this new fangled space bar technology.
I still get a magnifying glass on my ipad, although I don't have an iphone to see if it really is gone from iphone (seriously, why is iPasOS so much better?).
Android: keyboard, personalization, AI, compatibility and so on... For a cheap price if you like... iOS: "Do I have to pay to download music and then pay again for listening to it?" 💩
you could easily download music for free, theres a million ways of doing it you could download the music on a windows computer or a mac and then use a cable to transfer all the music into the music app on your iphone, by having itunes downloaded on your computer, whatever computer it may be
I rarely use sideloading and have barely customized my phone more than I did on Apple. I love my Samsung phone for other reasons, but it's really not hard to live without those features if they're not something that interests you. I guarantee if I bought my mom an Android she would sideload a total of zero apps and customize zero things that aren't available on her iPhone.
@@sparky6757 I've been using iphone for almost 4 years now, and still it bothers me alot that i cannot rearrange my home screen and place icons wherever i need them. And i hate that i cannot just transfer files over bluetooth to non apple devices.
@@sparky6757 yeah, that's kinda they reason why many ppl prefer iPhone - they just can't see a difference. But, well, even ppl like that should prefer an android, they could buy an cheap android that would do everything they need for much smaller price (as I don't think that ppl would need iPhone's most powerful processor or high-quality camera)
@@sparky6757 I would love an android tablet device. Unfortunately, there are no decent vector apps that exist on android, so I guess I'm stuck with iPadOS... Affinity and Adobe don't event seem interested either on android with fresco, Illustrator or designer. So, like linux, android is useless for my creative needs...
But many Android phones no longer have a headphone jack. Fortunately, most better Android phones support the Qualcomm AptX or Sony LDAC standard for high quality audio over Bluetooth.
Sony experia phones from 2023( and maybe 2024) and gaming phones from 2023 2024 like rog and redmagic , they all have audio jack and Sony has micro sd too. Huawei also has something similar to sd they call it nano memory, the p60 pro has it. All these are premium flagship with top of the line chip , and the Sony also has best cameras for manual use , and Huawei Is as flagship as a Samsung phone or iphone.
@@wheelyflacthose phones also get like 1-2 years of OS support making them near worthless after the first year. Easier and cheaper to put headphones jacks and SD card trays than support a phone for over 4 years But charge like $1300+
Lmao. when I used an aux cable the jack on my Samsung phone had connectivity issues, when I cleaned it out, it was still same and this is why Samsung removed it just for a Bluetooth feature that I liked. Our Pioneer sound system controller in our car had no connectivity issues whatsoever.
@lm_00000 probably u got a defective phone. Or u didn't use 3.5 Audiojack but one of the older ones wich are smaller and they move inside the port. In the galaxy j5 2017 and a32 4g ive used for years , the Audiojack port has no issues with 3.5mm Audiojack. It could also be the cable u used.
Maemo unironically had a lot of potential for a bit, and still had functions I've yet to see anywhere else (unified messaging app with extensions, so I could message people regardless of via text, Skype, MSN messenger or around 10 other protocols from within the standard messaging app). Symbian peaked at S60 and couldn't scale any further.
You do realise there are many Android devices worth more than Apple devices, right? And that is before you consider that - for the same price - Android ALWAYS outperforms apple for performance, longevity, personalisation, and more. Why be a sheep and follow the crowd when you can get something uniquely yours and make it even moreso? Apple is overpriced, and even their best isn't the best that you can buy. Why do you think professionals in every field use other brands? Musicians don't use Apple's Beats by Dre, they use brands you probably haven't heard of. A millionaire that I work for owns the latest Samsung and scoffs at Apple with me. Their customer support is a joke and they'll lie and plot to get more money out of people, and in ways that land them in supreme court quite often. They are not only bad value, but honestly evil. It's sad that the great inventions they do come out with are tainted by such an awful company. Oh, and in case you don't know... Android is owned by Google. You use Google, don't you? Google also owns RU-vid. So, if you like RU-vid, you're liking a product affiliated with Android. Do you think rich people avoid RU-vid because it's owners also own Android?
Android is for people like kids, students or unemployed, as in people who have too much free time to choose anything but a ready out of box experience. Feel free to argue why it is better.
Uhh, what about the fact that there are plenty of people that have both or switch from iPhone to Android (like with the Z flip). Your mentally seems to be tantamount to that of a kid.
Introducing the Apple iFridge! To keep your food cold, you need to pay $20 a month, and the ice maker is not included to save the environment. The filter system is only compatible with the Apple iFilter, which stops working after two days (sold separately).
Yeah some of their models do, but they're flagship. Edge series does not unfortunately. That's really where I would love to see it because that's where the company is. A really taking it away is the flagship. But they still have SD card and headphone jack on some of their budget devices, Samsung does on some as well but not many more The Moto Ace, the Moto stylus Moto g200 I think Moto G100... But the really powerhouse phones like the Moto edge 50 ultra do not have them. But at least they come with chargers in the box and pretty fast charging by the western market standards anyways.
@@WaffleusRexYes, and Sony is actually pretty much the last to leave the headphone jack and the SD card on their flagship devices. Oneplus, Motorola, and even a little bit of Samsung, will still occasionally have the budget phones with a headphone jack and an SD card. Sony pretty much stands alone now in offering both in a flagship. Asus offers a headphone jack but no SD card. There's a few others. Some gaming phones. But Sony is pretty much the only one that offers you the headphone jack ending SD card on their phones with the flagship processors. But boy they are expensive. I guess I could look into their mid-range market. You of course can get them used but they don't get a ton of software support. Believe me, I want to vote with my wallet and get a Sony but they've kind of priced me out when I can get a pixel 8 for 400 bucks or a OnePlus 12R for 400 bucks. Right now I'm still mostly just using an LG v60 though which is still great, and has both SD card and headphone jack and stylus support and a dual screen case
You said this at a time Android is getting watered down to IOS levels.😂 Android 13 stopped me from messing with obb/data folders because muh security. Wtf. Everyone complaining about lack of updates while I just want makers to stay away from messing with my phone. And no, ignoring is not that simple since the updates keep nagging over and over again until one day you slip and press the darn thing.😅
Almost 10 years later, Windows Phone still beats all three. Sideloading, SIM cards, headphone jacks, variety, it had it all. And people poo-pooed it because it was a stupid name and Microsoft.
@@tambarskelfir I daily drove both so i know both lacked apps people wanted to use. Also what's your issue with sailfish, it was very slick and intuitive to use at the time.
Yea but you have to wait a solid 1.5 seconds, it doesnt seem long but if you're doing it a few times a paragraph it adds up quickly. With Android I use a keyboard called "Simple Keyboard" which IMMEDIATELY starts sliding the cursor as soon as I swipe on the spacebar. With iOS there is a delay and it drives me nuts. Sort of like how in the early 2000's it took your PC / game a pretty lengthy time to load, or videos to buffer, or movies to download. Today it takes Windows 5 seconds to boot, games take less than 30 seconds to load, movies and downloads are essentially instant. Now imagine going back lol. Its over dramatic I know but thats how it feels
@@FrotLopOfficial Wait wouldn't "IMMEDIATELY" mean, sometimes if you keep the finger on space for a little to longer, it would think your swiping though? I never had used "simple keyboard", I was just wondering.
Do a video on how apple is forcing app developers to buy new macs because of a new requirement to use the latest Xcode which requires the latest OSx which then requires a recent Mac (M series) ... basically saying if you want to update your app buy a new 1300$ macbook and in a couple of years buy a new one
When I was younger I had a blackberry and I could drink all night long without issues. Now I’m older and I have an iPhone and every time I have a beer I get fat. Hell, yes, blackberry was better!
This dude should turn iff the comments. There are so many dumb apple fans in here complaining that their os is better although they have never used android.
Apple knows how to make some great products which people like. Most people don't engage with tech enough to inform themselves about things like privacy or malicous actions taken by a tech company. I wouldnt immediately call those people stupid.
@@tedzards509they don't make "great" products. They make beautiful and attractive products. Great is too much for them. So all ppl who don't know anything about tech and informatics chose them, on this I agree
I own an android AND apple phone. It just boils down to use case. Apple provides a very efficient and streamlined experience. Not only are the devices more power efficient, but its really hard to beat the integrations of family, device ecosystems, and accounts. Meanwhile android provides a better personlized experience. The open ended experience allows a wider array applications, software and hardware features. Not to mention the benefit of an open market and the innovations it brings.
My next phone will be Moondrop's miad01 since it shifts the formula back to when Androids were really cool. TWO headphone jacks, cause why not, 2TB SD slot and a great price. I loved my dumbphone phase, but I'll get back to my beloved brainrot activities coupled with overkill audio quality
@@shifureisaikyou2055 All phones are made in china nowadays. And if you are going off security, only xiaomi gives you the option to easily install custom roms compared to other OEM's.
I got one and love it, so small fits nicely in the pocket and takes good photos too. Oh and have a samsung Xcover 5 that runs android 13 and you can take out the battery just like the old phones 😁
@nebulous962 yeah , if you don't use any 3rd party apps, well 3rd party apps still work on it but they are buggy because apps aren't optimised for so old android version but if u don't use third party apps u good , many Samsung apps are still getting updates and they work fine
@@nmac101 A friend of mine said that you also have viruses. He caught one while unboxing and before he could run antivirus software. So he returned the item and purchased his first iPhone. True story
