    I've been dabbling in the Android world for a long time now. But, after 3 years of testing out Android phones to see if any of them are worthy of switching to, I've finally settled on the Apple ecosystem, with the release of the iPhone 15. In this video, I explore the positives and negatives of making this HUGE change in my life, to help you make the right, informed decision too.

    I agree with most of what you say. I was recently 'forced' to use an iPhone and was pleasantly surprised as to how every single app worked and behaved. Delightful. But I just had to get an android for my needs. Google Assistant, fantastic call screening just took the cake. The biggest reason I continue with Android is their notifications. I have an iPad and during my 8-9 months of using the iPhone, I kept missing notifications. So, for ME, Pixel is the clear winner.

      @@hobosnake1 It's funny how I feel like customization is such an easy fix for them. Just add a setting that allows you to import custom icons for apps, and then let the community go wild. As for keyboard, just add a keyboard that is similar functionality wise to Android, but put it behind a setting so that for those that want it, they can go turn that on, while people used to the current keyboard can just stay with it.
      It annoys me how little Apple would have to do to break through the market. RSC messaging and side loading, is apparently coming to iOS in later versions, which is HUGE for iOS to do. I think as we run into a hardware brick wall, and most people are struggling to see it being worth it upgrading their phones, especially with each new phone design basically being the same, Apple switched to all these customization and experimental features all of a sudden (focus modes, lock screen/home screen in-built switching, widgets, remove app instead of delete, and a bunch more settings for a custom experience). All they are really lacking is multiple volume sliders, custom icons, move apps on any tile on home screen, and some extra options when saving/sharing/taking photos.
      I wonder what the future will look like once iOS meets Android in the middle in terms of features, but is still at the top of performance and optimisation?

    2:50 over 100% battery capacity isn't impossible. Batteries have a nominal capacity and a margin, which is usually 50 mAh. So, for example, you could get the lottery where you have a phone with a rated nominal 3000 mAh battery, but an actual capacity of 3050 mAh, which is 101.6% of the nominal capacity.

I have come to the conclusion that I much prefer Android (and I've used both systems for years). Do what you want, and use what you like and what works for you. Whenever folks would ask me which is better for photography, Canon or Nikon, my answer would always be: "Do you have any glass from either; if you do, stick with that brand. If you do not, go to a store and play with both; they feel different and some folks prefer the feel of one over the other. Get whichever one you like more."

    As someone who mainly uses a Google Pixel, all your reasonings to switching back are absolutely reasonable. Out of all your points, the first one is where Apple just crushes it. Apps! App developers love the straightforward nature of making apps for Apple.
    However, if an app developer wants to broaden their consumer market for their product, they should take care not to burn any bridges with Android users. I know I myself don't bother with apps or products that I can't use on my Android devices, which means I'm one potential customer they just lost. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Xcode is slow and cumbersome and you are locked into MacOS unlike android where a Dev PC can be 20 cores if I need it be. Dev tools are mostly free for android apps but paid on MacOS and in a corporate environment it's not easy to submit security approvals for applications.

    Something that is not talked about in the UK at least. You can walk into an Apple store, test the devices your're interested in because you can pick it up and test most of the phones features in store and decide if it's the device for you.
    With Samsung, this can't be done. You cannot even arrange a one to one with a sales rep from Samsung.

    I also agree on most of your points. Me "a blood bound Android user since...EVER" am now switching to iPhone. Also not because i like the device or cameras better (I will miss my 10x from the Galaxy S23 ultra!!) but just that apple has everything running. It is boring as f*** but as I am also getting "older" I have less time and also less desire to constantly configure and workaround technical issues. I am not saying I will never return, because I really really like customizing my OS and that is quite not possible on IOS to the extend I desire. Also the extend of sniffing in my private life Google is doing really gets out of controll...
    So ...2024 will be my first IOS Year and I am really curious how this goes because I really am an apple h8ter :-) (mainly for the company politics they apply on their products and users and developers and also for the astronomic prices....and because so many people just buy it as a status symbol and only use 10% of itz functions and eco system)

My oneplus 6 can still keep pace with it even though the animations are not as consistent.

And it got me thinking: why not make the switch? None of the flagship Android phones are appealing to me anymore. Also getting "older" and not as interested in customization, haha.

    Hi there Pete! Just wanted to comment on the last part of your video re Apple Shortcuts. Of the screenshots you showed, all of that you can do in Shortcuts as well actually! There is another tab in the Shortcuts app called "Automation" and from there you can do the same things - have something happen when you arrive or depart from somewhere; or when the battery is at a specific % or charging/not.¨
    Other automation options have to do with alarms, when receiving e-mail/messages from specific people, when connected/disconnected to specific networks or devices, when apps are opened/closed, when the microphones identify a specfic sound (doorbell f.ex) and finally when certain focuses are activated/deactivated 😊 Hope that helps!

    The last iPhone I had was the 5 moved to Android as it was getting a bit expensive with iPhone. Fast forward 11years or so now rocking the pixel 7pro which isn't cheap great phone and camera specially, but I'm thinking now to change back to iPhone 15 pro. Reason I want change is a few reasons similar to yours but also resale or trade in value is way more on iPhones, I change my phones every few years but when it comes to selling it any Android phones they lose 60% plus even after a year which is ridiculous. Also pixels using customized Samsung chips and modems aren't great, the modems are really bad keep getting disconnected. Untill they use a non Samsung modem I'll probably give the iPhone a try. I could go on with more reasons we'll be here all day. yes I know the pixel 8 is coming out soon but not sure if it will be any better with the signal issues.

    Long time Android user. Switched to Apple on iPhone 13. 100% agree with this video. The Apple Watch is leagues ahead of wear os etc

    I’m switching from iPhone 12 Pro Max to a galaxy s23 fe as my first, apple feels like ‘your’ phone is apples phone and android is one toggle and your phone is yours.

    Been using iPhones for the past few years now and still can't believe how awful the ram management is!!!! I can't jump between multiple apps because they are constantly refreshing. It might be the new iOS update but my Spotify crashes a lot and UA-cam always relaunches after I swipe to another app. Apple putting 4 to 6Gbs of ram on their flagship phones is pretty dawn criminal, apps are only getting bigger and more demanding every update. With that being said I really do enjoy my 14 pro max but its clear to me that Apple's software needs a lot of fixing and honestly a complete rework in some areas.

      Precisely! I already use 8 GB of RAM on the S23 Ultra because I use a lot of widgets and background processes. I really need the 12 GB of RAM on my 512GB S23 Ultra.

    I have a iPhone 12 and I need a new phone, but I am between buying some Samsung or iPhone 15 pro. But I am way to unsure 😅

      If you have other Apple devices, maybe the iPhone. Otherwise - Get the S23 Ultra. You can get it for an absolute steal with their discounts at times!

    Thats why you dont use many android devices. You have to pick company like samsung or google to use it smoothly.

    Well, I just can’t choose 😅. I enjoy the S-pen, MagSafe, Apple Pay, Apple Watch, but the batterylife of the Samsung Watch, and the reversed wireless charging. If Apple would add reversed wireless charging, an Apple Pencil that fits in the pro max, and the battery options Samsung has (enable or disable fast (wireless) charging and giving charging information I would be sticking with Apple. Samsung is just still a little bit better now. Except for the wireless pay system, that just works brilliant compared to Samsung.
