@@makasete30 Yeah, I'm not an apple user but I can see what he's talking about. It's more so about an image or idea of course it may work flawlessly for you and some others.

Other youtubers would probably make a 30 minute video for the same amount of information. Thank you for such an efficient, well crafted video! And the way you ended it tho 🔥
So informative about the stuff people actually want to know rather than what they can read on a product page that a lot of other channels just verbalize, and so efficient at the same time. You're great at what you do!
One benefit for mirroring your iPads to your Mac is for online presentation and school. It's so convenient for such purpose, no need to buy any extra peripherals like a capture card. This method also eliminates the weird camera angle and also the disturbing noise of the pen making contact with the iPad screen.

happy new year Ella! It's so crazy and amusing how fast you grew, I swear the first time I saw your video was when you uploaded the S21 Unboxing and have been watching you ever since. You were just a little channel at that time but now, you are so many people's choices for tech reviews. I wish you all the best and I hope good things are coming your way
I literally never thought to take my watch off and strap it onto my iPhone for photos. That blew my mind, and I almost clicked off the video right there. But I’m glad I stuck around - you have such a way of consolidating pertinent information in a clear and concise way 👏🏾
Your editing and production just keeps getting better and better Ella! i hope 2024 brings you all the success you deserve, 1 million here you come! much love from the UK 💜
Great review! As a fairly recent Apple ecosystem adoptee I am always prodding and probing to see how all of the things work together. I must say, I’m just amazed with so many of these great features, not the least of which is the hardware. My iPad Pro is the most amazing device I’ve ever owned.
Another thing with casting, you can even cast streaming services from an iPhone to the Mac! I like it when I connect my Mac to say a projector and I can control the movie or show I’m watching without having to get up!
Great video, this has been really useful! You’ve convinced me that a Mac and iPad is a great pairing, but you haven’t convinced me that an iPhone is essential in this mix with Google and third party apps. While I am mostly in the Apple ecosystem with a Mac and an iPad, I don’t feel that I’m missing out anything with my Android phone and third party earbuds… plus I don’t wear a watch. I do most of what you’ve shown anyway, just with different 3rd party apps.
Most of those features exist with the Samsung ecosystem. But I think the Apple one is more seamless and easy to use. With Samsung, you have to activate some parameters, or even worse install some specific Samsung apps (for example, if you are using your Galaxy Buds, Samsung Wear has to install at first the add-on for Buds). If you use the Samsung Smart Tag, you have to install Samsung Smart Things and activate some parameters in order for it to be detectable by others Samsung smartphones...
this is my take as well, i have been to both ecosystems but i have decided to stay in the apple ecosystem. not to sound like an apple fan boy but apple's ecosystem has been more reliable, polished and more refined compared with samsung's.
Having these features configured with apps instead of integrated settings is a small trade off for the ability of having them enabled for other non-Samsung devices, in my opinion. If you have a Samsung phone you already have them installed and if not, they are available in the play store. I'm not completely aware of all the apps available or how it works exactly having to sign in with a Samsung account, but let's say you like their browser or the Wearable app, you can have all the important features in any device. Even on Windows I have the app to control my Buds, it seems like Apple isn't planning on allowing this kind of stuff.
@@Jj82op I'm sorry, but what is this weird take? Samsung is notorious for limiting their in-house apps to Samsung hardware, this is especially bad on Windows as you are forced to use a laptop (since they don't make desktops) if you want to enjoy the Samsung ecosystem. Also, no smart speaker to be found anywhere, they have Tizen on their TVs to this day where apps are region locked (!) and the TV constantly disconnects from SmartThings (maybe EU problem? I don't know, hasn't been fixed in 3 years of owning that TV, some hobby developers figured out how to properly implement Samsung TVs into Home Assistant, so I'm using HomeKit to control the TV now, shame on you, Samsung!). The screen mirroring from a Samsung phone to the TV is 10 steps instead of 2 with AirPlay (again, shame on you Samsung!). Samsung cloud has been reduced to a joke in favor of OneDrive (oh the sweet Microsoft money!), Samsung Pay includes opening a new bank account in Germany and this goes on and on. And this is just a small list of why I dropped the Samsung ecosystem for good.
Actually in other video she said that Samsung is more seamless than Iphone. Also Samsung will always lead with the ability to connect seamlessly with Windows and other non-Samsung devices
Thank you, this was an excellent video. Since 1996, I have been using Apple computers both desktops and laptops. Also, since the introduction of their basic iPad 4th generation, I have owned a basic iPad and my current model is the 9th generation. However, I have never wanted to join the complete Apple ecosystem. So, I have never owned an iPhone, Apple Watch, or Home Pod (smile...smile).
I appreciate the uniqueness of your videos. You are not just another one note UA-camr who only does one thing. You diversify yourself by doing different types of videos. Keep doing you girl. Never change for nobody unless you want to. Good work! 👌🏽
Great video as always ,cant wait for the samsung ecosystem one. Crazy how youre almost at 400k subs. I remember when you were at 100k. Crazy to see how much your channel has grown in subs.
Hi! Love your videos! Another useful ecosystem feature is Wifi password sharing. When one of your devices connects to a new Wifi router/hotspot and you pull out your other device, a prompt will appear on your connected device asking you if you want to share the Wifi password to your other device. I find it very useful when I’m travelling for work. It reduces time and effort to look up the password again and retype it to connect your other device/s. However, it’s also not very reliable as the prompt does not appear 100% of the time. I think 3/5 haha!
Great video, but still missing a few important features. For example, Continuity is just a bonus on Macs, test the iPhone Camera on an Apple TV, that's where the value is (FaceTime, Karaoke...). About Casting, try casting to your Apple TV, and watch those 4k videos on a big OLED screen. Universal control works pretty good between computers too, not only with your iPad. Also, something nice to try, pair your home pods to your Apple TV or just watch a movie using your AirPods...
You have come so far, so fast! I remember your first Nintendo Switch video. Its really incredible to see the hard work you have and continue to put into these helpful/entertaining videos. Youre gonna be on top! 🎉 Happy 2024 Ella!
One big thing I think is important to review is the Apple TV. I have an OLED TV and the Apple TV is probably one of the most intuitive pieces of tech that many dont speak of. I use home pod minis as speakers for my tvs, and it shares many of the same entertainment apps that you would see on a phone and macbook. I really recommend everyone look into the Apple TV if you really want to integrate into the apple ecosystem
universal control and sidecar where deal breakers for me to get a Galaxy Tab for college. those alone are super great, for writing some text and doing a bit of coding on the campus, without getting headaches to connect and make it work!
video was fire! lots of things didn't knew about Apple ecosystem.. AND, video quality its 10/10, looks so crispy at 4k. Oh, bytheway, you look fantastic as always ☺️
On the AirPod switching issue this is fixable. Apple defaults to automatically connecting for some strange reason (given they hope everyone has multiple Apple devices). You can change that (on each device) to connect to last device connected. Sometimes unexplainably Apple resets this setting to their default after updates so you need to change it again. But do this and the AirPods won't randomly switch away from a device you are already using.
Screen mirroring (AirPlay) the iPad to the MacBook is useful in certain scenario. for example, in case if you want to do a presentation and an interactive whiteboard, but the client's meeting room only have a regular TV. Then, just need to connect the MacBook to the TV, and do the writing and presentation from the iPad, AirPlay it to the TV.
Also FaceTime family calls on Apple TV, using your iPhone camera to do a full lounge sized FaceTime on your TV is a an amazing way to connect for overseas families
I just watched this entire video because of your presentation and what makes it look killer is your smile. It is true if you smile on a call or in any content video you will definitely grab the attention of your client/audience. Stay Blessed
I’m getting trained as a video editor so in the office I’m very used to dual screens so when I’m in school and I only have my laptop and iPad, sidecar is what keeps my workflow sane
Your videos are always informative and clear. That you point out the reality is also appreciated. The reality is Apple isn't flawless like the picture is too often painted. It can be good in some and more troublesome than mixed brand and systems. I see this at work with a mixed environment .
I do read quite often that Apples Eco-system is considered the best. But when I think of the Tab S9Ultra, S23(soon 24)Ultra, the Galaxy Watches, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Foldables, Samsung TVs... I would strongly argue that Samsung is at least as good, if not better positioned in terms of hardware (the only point that goes to Apple in my eyes are laptops, Macbooks are admittedly really strong for the price). The nice thing about Samsung, however, is that it can be easily supplemented not only with Samsung products but with any Android products and thus you have an almost infinitely large eco-system with tons of possibilities and combinations which offer the best at every price, in every price range and work together flawlessly and do offer a ton of innovative and ingenious features and great software, which is clearly superior to Apple's and years ahead in many aspects. I, for example, do have a smartphone from OPPO (was the best you could get for the price), Huawei headphones (didn't want to spend more than 70$ and these are the best in this price range) and a TicWatch addition to my TabS9 (incredibly good tablet, the stylus is the best there is) and a very good Samsung TV and everything works flawlessly together. So Apple's ecosystem is definitely good. Definitely one of the best in its price range. But only in the extremely expensive (and overpriced) range. It's also not versatile, flexible or compatible. Samsung is.
When did you do the Airpod device switching test? There were massive improvements in the reliability of Airpods switching between devices in this year's software updates.
4:35 But Ella, doesn’t the MacBook already have photos and videos installed using iCloud from the Photos app for Mac? There’s no particular use, other than if your iCloud isn’t working.
The ecosystem is worth the hype I think. The main advantage with continuity cam apart from video quality is center stage in my opinion. Great if you’re 2 in front of the computer for instance.
Happy new year. Your videos are really good and they’re getting better. I hope you keep getting better. I see you. You are really good at this and you really enjoy it good for you.
Ahhh not the cliffhanger for the Samsung ecosystem!! ALSO, I love how you edited this video 😊 the text above the background but behind you as the main subject is such a cool effect and I love to see a video on how you edit
I also use google docs for all my notes as well because its fast, feature rich and cross platform. As someone who prefers a samsung phone paired with a macbook, i find ecosystems to be overrated and even more so that nowadays everythings syncs with almost everything else. Only really useful feature in an ecosystem to me is universal copy and paste but even that has a simple workaround when using a samsung and a mac
as a UI designer, I cannot emphasise how convenient the side car function is. I simply place my iPad near my mac and I can instantly see my design on it, not to mention you can use your iPad as a screen extension not just mirroring ❤
yet ios does not have universal back gesture and u talking about ui lmao
Samsung tablets can do the same with Windows computers

At the end I didn't see the Galaxy book. Are you going to test it in your Samsung ecosystem video?

I do read quite often that Apples Eco-system is considered the best.
But when I think of the Tab S9Ultra, S23(soon 24)Ultra, the Galaxy Watches, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Foldables, Samsung TVs... I would strongly argue that Samsung is at least as good, if not better positioned in terms of hardware (the only point that goes to Apple in my eyes are laptops, Macbooks are admittedly really strong for the price). The nice thing about Samsung, however, is that it can be easily supplemented not only with Samsung products but with any Android products and thus you have an almost infinitely large eco-system with tons of possibilities and combinations which offer the best at every price, in every price range and work together flawlessly and do offer a ton of innovative and ingenious features and great software, which is clearly superior to Apple's and years ahead in many aspects.
I, for example, do have a smartphone from OPPO (was the best you could get for the price), Huawei headphones (didn't want to spend more than 70$ and these are the best in this price range) and a TicWatch addition to my TabS9 (incredibly good tablet, the stylus is the best there is) and a very good Samsung TV and everything works flawlessly together.
So Apple's ecosystem is definitely good. Definitely one of the best in its price range. But only in the extremely expensive (and overpriced) range. It's also not versatile, flexible or compatible. Samsung is.
Connect your phone by wire to macbook and backup after that airpods change source very quickly.

4:30 useful for when you're trying to recover things from your device with a broken screen where there still is tough sensitivity
I loved this video always so thorough!! Thx Ella😊😊❤
Hey Ella! I hope you could make a video about great and maybe cheaper, and better alternatives for the iphone 15. I love your videos!
I cant wait to see the Samsung ecosystem video, and also would be nice if you could make another video comparing them! Btw nice video!
You didn’t include the Apple TV. I would say it’s part of the core ecosystem, as it’s part of the personal computing experience.
Great video and I think this is the best showcase of the apple ecosystem features.
The cross device copy and paste is called Universal Clipboard
Im not buying any of these, i just love Ella💞.
Cool but what setting do you activate to turn these features on?
Well edited and produced review
Was honestly much more impressed by the Samsung (and Android/Windows) ecosystem.
I also use google docs for all my notes as well because its fast, feature rich and cross platform. As someone who prefers a samsung phone paired with a macbook, i find ecosystems to be overrated and even more so that nowadays everythings syncs with almost everything else. Only really useful feature in an ecosystem to me is universal copy and paste but even that has a simple workaround when using a samsung and a mac
After using the Samsung ecosystem, which one would tou say was better?
how about using samsung phone with a MacBook ? dowes that affect productivity?
yup, doesn't work well at all. Depends on what you're doing though.
Useful succinct accurate info. Well presented. The channel is growing because of substance and style.
Great test! I like your approach to making these reviews. You''re a bright mind.
Love your videos 👍 Have a great year.
Cool video. I’d likely never use most features listed here (didn’t even know most of them existed), but it’s good to know it’s there if I need it.
I had the same issue with my airpods always preferring my phone, but now it works pretty well switching between other devices.
Thanks! This is what intrigues me the most(tied with ported AAA games) on Apple products.
Happy new year!
Great video and implementation coming from someone who isn't in the Apple ecosystem. Thanks!
