It’s a state of mind. It’s not hard to leave Apple,the problem is android is more focused on features rather than refinement. Apple is focused on refinement, rather than features. So if android starts to focus more on refinement rather than features. Apple is in big trouble. Or if apple starts focusing on features at this point, they can shut down android altogether. But neither company wants to do that because it’s a money grab for both of them. And foolishly we are the victim. On purpose!
Refinement is key
@@CJKnowsTECH for me, it’s not that I can’t leave Apple. I just have a love hate relationship with Apple. Love their products, but I hate their business practices. This is why I keep both Apple and Samsung products. I use Samsung for productivity, and Apple for cummnication. And simply for the of just having a iPhone. Whatever Apple can’t do, Samsung can. And whatever Samsung can’t do, apple can. So I’m not loyal to either company. Now that’s a flex lol
@@bnvborninvinciblelol, you just declared your own statement a “flex”…wow, just wow.
I think Samsung now focuses on features & refinement. The only advantage Apple probably has IMO, is the MacBook but that is very small. One of the main reasons why I will never choose Apple over Samsung is because Apple will try to control u 2 use All Apple products and they have to many limits on how u can use your phone.
@@CJKnowsTECH I won’t leave apple cause of it ecosystem and the Apple Store and support when something breaks etc.. oh and cause I make music in Logic Pro and edit videos in Final Cut Pro
I personally didn't find it difficult. Using a tab s9 ultra, s24 ultra and a vivo x fold 3 pro as my new main device. I did quite enjoy the iPhone but don't miss it at all
Same here, I didn't miss it either when I had to choose between it & android.
But you can't compare Android watches with Apple watches... Yes, I'm thinking about buying an S24U again, but the Android watches are just not accurate enough and the battery life is poor... And Huawei and Garmin I think personally ugly watches.. And despite an iPhone bore, it feels the most luxurious, fastest and safest.
@@AndrewSmith-yy4sd there are so many great Android options, I like certain things about apple products but I'd hate to be stuck with only apple devices
Google software + Apple hardware = perfect phone.😅
@@Tha-King-Arthur Android watches are not accurate? I used galaxy 3 way back and it has some features that my current apple watch does not have. For example, when I go work out, I want to leave my phone and use just my watch on which I already download my music. I can't do the same with my apple watch or i am doing something wrong
I left iPhone 3 months ago despite having 4 other Apple products. I agree that Apple has a nice ecosystem, which is how they trap you. Smart on Apple part. I wonder where Apple would be without the iPhone. It literally is the key to the company in my opinion and Apple knows it.
S24 Ultra is what led me to leave the iPhone, and even with the upcoming iOS 18 update, I have no regrets. Outside of the MacBook, I don't intend on purchasing anymore Apple products in the future. I don't like the feeling of being locked into an ecosystem that doesn't play nice with everyone else. Android/Google stuff works with everything which is how tech/software should be for the consumer in my opinion.
Thats because a lot of people look at apple as a way to be inclusive. Case in point, you held that macbook proudly lol
Yeah I know people with Macbooks and iPad pros that don’t even use them and just bought them because it had an apple logo on them. They would have gotten just as much use out of a 2-in-1 chromebook, but they want to put this mental handicap on being “in” so badly.
@@m.b.557Chromebooks too have logos…since people buy Macs and iPads only because of the logos and not their performance, then Chromebooks have a very easy job. It’s only about logos after all.
I'm a heavy phone user, I use my phone to near its fullest capabilities, & i didn't have a hard time when I had to choose between iPhone & Android. It was easy, android all the way.
I don't care much about a phone, because a phone is not controlling my life. That's why a Iphone suits me better..
@@Tha-King-Arthur well said. This says alot about iphones. Couldn't say it any better.
Funnily enough as a former Android fanboy, I picked up an iPhone 7 a few years ago as a spare phone to put an overseas sim in when I worked abroad for a few months. I told myself that I’d be just an experiment till I get back home. Fast forward 8 years later, I’m firmly in the Apple ecosystem with no desire to go back to Android at all 😂
😂
😂😂
Bro, that matte Black iPhone 7 is what also got me locked in lol
I have a spare iphone7 plus and it’s okay. I genuinely don’t find it useful other than Airplay, But Dex does that and then some.
The tightly locked down can't customize anything ecosystem is what got you hooked??? 😂
Gave up Apple Watch, got a garmin epix, next was to go was apple AirPods Pro brought technics Ea70 buds, now 14 pro max sold and I have I have ultra 24
For me it was very easy to leave Apple's ecosystem. It took me less than a week to sell my iPhone, MacBook and Apple Watch. I bought A Lenovo laptop, a Samsung Phone and watch. I was stunned to find out how much better my Samsung Galaxy S24 was compared to my old iPhone 14 who now felt like it was very limited and low on usefull features.
I used both Samsung and iPhone. They are both great devices. It just really boils down to preferences. I like my iPhone and really don’t want to switch.
Right
For me, I can’t see myself leaving Apple simply because of the ecosystem and the iPhone being at the core. Everything just seems to work seamlessly together, which is convenient for the average consumer. I consider myself new to this tech world and consider myself a lightweight tech enthusiast, but with that said a lot of other tech don’t interest me Android specifically. Now, if I run across a piece of tech that does interest me I’ll tap into it, but when it comes to mobile devices it’s iPhone or nothing. Now I’m over 40 and I have had a few devices in my day and to be honest I was totally against the iPhone when it first came out. Now I don’t see myself ever going anywhere else because it works simply, why try to fix something that’s not broken.
We have the same background with Apple and tech bro 😂
Same bro ,Apple for life
Same!!
That’s because your old bro
@@TheJohnnyx1Yea tell your Moms I say what’s up.
I don’t think it’s a matter of can’t leave but more of a matter of not wanting to.
well said
Yea I swapped back when the 13 came out and dove head first. 4 news phones watches and AirPods for the whole fam. I miss my Notes but I’m too lazy to relearn android again.
I got into Apple products as a graphic designer. But honestly, since the passing of Steve Jobs, I have not been happy with the path Apple has taken. I do not upgrade constantly so they probably hate me anyhow. But when this iPhone 12 Pro Max needs replacing it will be with whatever Google Pixel is current. The only Apple product I currently am happy with is my M1 Mac Mini....that little dude is a beast.
Me 2, that's exactly why I switched to the z fold 5, I couldn't be happier. Both are great but samsung is doing the things steve jobs would've done if he was still alive.
Yeah I bought a Google Pixel and I'm hooked now. Just smooth with useful and simple UI with no bloat like Samsung. Will be trading in my Pixel 7 and getting the Pixel 9 pro when it comes out.
The funny thing is that a lot of iphone users I know, including my girlfriend, are not really tied to the Apple ecosystem. They have an iphone, an ipad and that's it and still they refuse to change brand even when they complain about the iphone. For me, my phone and tablet are the most important things too. I hardly use my Windows laptop and I don't use a smartwatch. I do struggle to use an iphone for more than 2 weeks, it's very infuriating 😂😂. The only thing I enjoy about them are the cameras and not always.
I like using iMessage, use Apple Pay everywhere, enjoy the ease of FaceTime when I use it. All of my immediate family use Apple products so communication would be a little more challenging. Not long ago when there was a phone outage, my sister was able to communicate with me since iMessage can be used over wifi. I'm also the tech person in the family.
All great points. Thanks
I switched to the z fold 5 and I have imessage and to ft all they have to do is send you a link through the app, simple as that
@@brendanfogel4573 Same, I downloaded BlueBubbles and it works great. FaceTime seemed buggy but even though I'm in the US I actually know very few people who use FaceTime, so haven't really missed it; my family and friends just use WhatsApp or Discord respectively.
Why would I bail if I'm reaping the benefits of its ecosystem? The best part is, I've got both Apple and Android devices-no need to pick just one side.
EXACTLY!
I found it easy to leave Apple, couldn't be happier
I’m leaving apple in August for the s24 ultra I’m very excited
@@Roxylove0 shame on you. 😏
@@Roxylove0I switched to z fold 5 and I couldn't be happier
And Apple won’t miss you. So kick rocks
@user-zc4ey1qh3b I got the z fold 5 after being a lifetime ios user and I couldn't be happier. Best phone I've ever owned.
They have great hardware but the most limiting/boring software (specifically on iPhone/iPad). I have iPhone 15 Pro and S24 Ultra and I’ll take my S24 Ultra all day. Other than for recording video, I always use the Galaxy. MacBooks are great, but with those price tags, they better be amazing.
Once you have multiple apple products the convenience of having all the devices work seamlessly together is very hard to leave. If I leave my iPhone I can still get calls or text messages on the iPad and it just works and that is the best part. That being said Samsung does offer a lot of great products that works well together and in some ways can beat apple. I used to go back and forth between the two. I will definitely be leaving apple again once RCS is finally supported on IOS, it's been long over due. iMessage is great but IOS not supporting RCS for this long has definitely been a trap to keep users form switching.
I started off as a only android user all my life. Eventually I got my first iPhone with the 6Splus then was team Samsung until the S21Ultra. I traded that in for a 13pro, then traded in the 13pro for the 14PM. Got air pods pro, a MacBook, iPad and Beats Studio pro. Never say never, anyone can make the switch back and forth, but continuity of everything that Apple makes with how well each product works together, even if it’s by design and make it harder to leave, it’s still kept me there with Apple for the last couple of years and I don’t see any reason to switch anytime too.
Yup, the continuity is actually really good. Respect
Samsung products work just as well together, if not better, because of their accessibility. You can control your devices and smart appliances through Smart Things & Bixby Modes & Routines, with nothing but a gesture.
I left iPhone and came back to carry both systems ... one thing brought me back to iPhone would be sinplicity in using phone and not expecting super high tech out of phone.... Android or Samsung S23 ultra as 1 equipment can do everything .... but sometimes you just enjoy play different tools and toys like Apple Ecosystem ....
P.S. Apple allow sufficient customization that has been preset ... iOS gave update of preset as time goes by .... again Apple just made sense and gave things about right ....
I feel like Apple in general is a smoother experience. I’ve got the S24U and a Samsung LT and although they are very nice and work very well Apple just seems smoother to me. I prefer a handful of abilities on the iPhone that just don’t work well on other devices. Like you, sort of, I switch from time to time but I will routinely switch to Apple.
Love your videos BTW. You direct approach and honest feedback is clutch.
Apple is the best we have right now but I feel like it has kind of hit the ceiling when it comes to smart phones so its just a matter of time before we move on if we finally have a proper alternative but we don't know when , maybe tesla might come up with whole new device which are better than current smartphone so lets see what happens in coming years .
You probably would like a Google Pixel. It's smooth like the iPhone. You can tell they are trying to be the iPhone of Android. I have a Samsung Z Flip 5 and a Pixel 7 and I use the Pixel 7 the most.
@@SWACBUZZ Still its an android , I am open to move away from apple only if there's a whole new alternative until then I am fine with apple .
@@sameersheriff7078 You only got 2 alternatives in America Apple or Android
Android has a bunch of manufacturers under that umbrella. iOS is just Apple. For an Android software update depending on what manufacturer you have is when you get the update. Also with Android the support of the phone varies in years. iOS you know which phones will get updates and how long it will be supported.
I think the Google Pixel phones are a good gateway for people wanting to switch to Android from iPhone. Sort of like a mesh between the 2 in terms of software.
Not gonna lie as a cinematographer I was android/pc to the end, but apple’s real dedication to tools that most people don’t use but people like me do for filmmaking like Resolve for iPad or the BMC app on iPhone are things android NEVER came close to giving me. I don’t see myself leaving unless companies like Samsung actually try to partner with BM and get Resolve on a galaxy tab that can edit 12K BRAW footage like the iPad M4. Or windows actually optimizing their studio drivers to actually not crash when trying to playback BRAW or DNxHQ higher than 4K in Resolve or Premiere
Right it’s very creator friendly
No matter how you look at it, an Apple iPhone is simply world class. Every time I switch to a Samsung phone I regret it after a month and want to go back to Apple, which has a much nicer and smoother operating system. But that's just me..
Agree I’m in the same boat, December 2023 switch to a Z fold 5, sold it (at a massive loss) for a S24 ultra, March I was back on iPhone. iPhone resell value is also gold, with samsung you lose 50% as soon as the box is open. But hey each to their own.
Why choose Samsung as your only Android choice, there are so many more options and in my honest opinion better option other than Samsung out there.
@@RJ_Uploads Right! I have the OnePlus 12 and iPhone 14 Pro
I'm the other way around, my work phone is an iPhone 15 and I absolutely hate the operating system and how it does things. Notifications are a disaster
Same thing happened to me after selling my s24 Ultra.
Yes I am in the ecosystem with the 14 Pro, Mac, MacBook and iPad. I also have a Samsung laptop, S9 Plus Tablet and S23 Ultra. I currently rock the OnePlus 12 as my main phone and the 14 Pro as my secondary. I use both ecosystems daily, but boy I tell you, this OnePlus 12 has me not upgrading to the 16 Pro…. Keep these debatable topics coming CJ! 🔥
I bought the 14PM and an apple watch series 8 after switching over from Google Pixel 6 Pro. I'm heavy into tech so I thought I'd give it a try after all of these years using Android. I had a hard time. The keyboard was terrible, even when I switched to gboard it was heavily neutered. Another problem I ran into was streaming video from my iphone to my tv via airplay. It would cut out if I opened, say Tiktok, while streaming. Its like the phone couldn't handle both at the same time. Also I regularly read online and listened to tech youtubers tell me that the iPhone never had apps to crash because of the superior optimization. That turned out to be a stretch as well. I experienced more app crashes on my 14PM than I did on my S21 or Pixel 6P. So after a year with 14PM, I gave it to my daughter and got me a Pixel 8 Pro...The only thing that I absolutely LOVED about the iPhone was faceID...the rest of the so-called advantages are clearly personal preference or brand loyalty at this point. I saw somewhere online where the statement was made that "iOS treats you like a "user" and android treats you like an "admin" and I think that fits perfectly.
Oh noooo Airplay is just terrible. Have you ever tried to airplay google music to your TV? Terrible experience
For me it was actually the opposite, I started with the MacBook then the AirPods and then the iPhone and Apple Watch. For me it's the software plus hardware integration.
I started with iMac then phone etc.
Went to S24U from 13 pro max but just recently switched to 15 pro max. Apps on S24U kinda feel not smooth and some apps does not function well as well as the animation on s24U is not as smooth as i phone. I love that you can swipe from right side to go back with S24U. I think apple needs to bring that function into i phone. Don’t get me wrong both phones are great but S24U is just not for me.
After years of using iPhones and I switched to s24 ultra but still keep my M3 MBA. Yet there's no issues with the eco system, whatsoever.
I just got into the apple ecosystem. I had a Pixel 8 with a pixel watch 2. I switched to the iPhone 13pro and liked it so I bought an apple watch series 9.
As far as the watch, the pixel watch 2 isn't Even close. The pixel watch is the slums and the Apple watch is like Dubai. Literally incredible
Yeah Apple Watches are top tier smartwatches
@@CJKnowsTECH I finally see the light lol
It’s the look! Apple software interface just looks better, the smooth soft colors just looks better. I’ve got a PC and a Mac Book and my house agree that the Macbook is a more pleasant experience. It’s something about the way the colors come together, it looks smoother than windows and operates swiftly!😂 it’s kinda hard to explain but you know what I mean. I can look at the Mac interface a lot longer than looking at a windows interface! I will get a headache lookin at windows after a while.
I agree the interface of MacOS is more my preference
Pc is windows not android. Android is owned by Google and Microsoft owns windows
@@brendanfogel4573
I was not comparing the Mac to android! I’m explaining why I like Mac OS over windows as I was comparing pc platforms, however since you mentioned android I experience the Same interface effect! iOS is a more pleasant experience especially to look at! Android color combinations are basically the same as windows! Apple’s overall interface (iOS or Mac OS) just looks different and feels different which = more desirable in my experience.
I could easily stop using Apple, I simply don't want to. They're super enjoyable to use and work perfectly for my projects.
Right
Been an iPhone user since, tried switching on android ones. Nothing wrong with it, i like those android could offer at the same time based on my experience if you’re used to with apple ecosystem would still prefer to be on that ecosystems. When I switched, I was the inly one using android phone and it’s difficult so i ended going back to iPhone😅, I think we don’t have to hate either apple or android, it’s about the individual’s preference.
right
It’s hard to leave. I tried to leave a million times 😂😂😂 something keeps bringing me back. Whether it’s the resale value, well built ecosystem, the Apple Store being down the street, the app developers support, efficiency, Apple care, and now IOS 18. The whole family got iPhone so that made it easier as well.
Right 😂
The apple store down the street🤣🤣🤣🤣
I tried leaving Apple and got myself a Z Fold 4. Thought I could replace my phone, tablet and desktop with all in one device.
Problem was the refinement and app optimization wasn’t there. And I had a TON of automation on Siri Shortcut and have yet to find a replacement with android. For the record, yes, I scripted an attendance program that also tallies the number of students all in Siri Shortcuts. As a teacher that is invaluable.
So yeah, Siri Shortcuts is the main reason I’ve stayed.
Yeah app refinement is a plus on iOS and shortcuts are powerful
I won’t leave Apple because at the moment it suits my needs. My family use iPhones, it’s easy to send photos, call, FaceTime with them but the clutch for me is ‘Check In’ & ‘Friend Tracking’ because my family live all over the place to see how far they are away when they come to visit or knowing when they have arrived home safely is a massive plus for me.
I’m locked in, I will never leave Apple under one circumstance. For phones, laptops and tablets I will always buy iPhone Pro’s, iPad Pro’s and MacBook Pro’s but for desktop I will always have a gaming desktop for obvious reasons. Apple got the game on lock though for the most part. Just bought a MacBook Pro 16 inch M3 actually lol.
Lol truth bro. My teenage daughters laughed at me for ordering a pixel phone 😅 kids love Apple
Use a Huawei and then they will want your Huawei
For me it’s the dependable ecosystem I’ve come to know and love. I’ve been a part of the Samsung ecosystem and between the two, in my opinion Apple is hands down the best 3:17. I know for many older adults they prefer android. I don’t see myself switching as I age 3:17
Love your content bro 😎
I tried leaving, and I did for a month and I hated it!!! Just my personal experience, I've always been an apple fan girl and I'm so deep in the eco system and honestly, IOS software looks a lot better and cleaner than UI. 🙃🙂
nothing wrong with having a preference
After more than 10 years of using iphone, last year i decided to buy a samsung galaxy s23ultra to replace my iphone 13prm, just 1 day used galaxy, i come back to iphone :(( I'm a person who's bored with the iphone but can't leave it
Apple makes life easier. I have nothing against android or android phones. Some of them are now better designed and more beautiful than the iPhone but the software is what makes Apple my go to
I don’t need to customize anything. I need something that is built extremely well, is aesthetically pleasing but is reliable and durable
I had my older Apple Monitors for 9 years and they still looked beautiful until I replaced them with the new studio monitors 😂
I truthfully don’t like customizing stuff anymore. That’s why I went from building custom PCs to Mac’s
Thanks for sharing
My wife will not leave because Apple is simple and easy to use. Android requires people to think and really use the phone.
The simple answer is…it just works like it should. I’m the family go-to tech guy. And when you have family all over the US, it’s easy to address issues if everyone is on the same ecosystems. I’ve found that Apple devices are the easiest to troublshoot. And if on the rare occasion I can’t do that remotely, there’s always an Apple Store my relatives can go to for additional support. Unless Apple does something to screw up their ecosystem, I’ll likely stay put.
I love the equal opportunity approach! Too many people are stuck one way or the other and I like honest opinions from both sides.
My main reason for considering switching from the ios to android is basically because I want freedom to transfer the contents of my phone, however I like without iCloud or purchasing third party apps. I always run out of space after a few years as I don’t upgrade yearly. I prefer the drag and drop method that android offers.
Tech companies like Apple (the industry leader) create a one and done products like a phone and a computer then split the features to create a new product, the smart watch and tablets. Recycling the wheel like it’s new.
I like the newness of figuring out how a product works not more of the same in different form factors.
I want to break the ecosystem and only use the products that I want or need from whatever company that may be including Apple as you mentioned the iphone is the current gateway drug but to be fair the gateway drug to apple products for me was the ipod in which Apple integrated and made obsolete as a standalone product.
My gateway was their computers via the iMac 🖥️
The ecosystem & reliability of Apple can’t be matched. In my opinion they also make the best products on the market so I see no desire to jump to Android at all.
Bro I believe that no matter what your brand of choice is, if you are a tech lover, you must have an iPhone. It's just a must have. A lot of people have iPhones and in my case, all my kids have iPhones so it's easier to stay in contact with them at all times. iPhones have become a status symbol and a must have for those wanting to be in the cool crowd it seems. It's not that it is so much better than the rest, it's just that society has put iPhones up on this pedestal and if you don't have one you are a square. I have all kinds of android devices but I still keep my iPhone. It just works. Nothing fancy or special about it. It just works.
I am Head of IT for a global financial company, and I design the entire infrastructure and move on to the next company and do the same. Apple system are just less headaches. There is no tinkering with hardware/software, it just works and works well for a home or small office system. I have had Linux, Windows, OS/2, Unix systems, for what I need MacOS and iOS are the best ecosystem.
i had an Android back when HTC was at its peak and whenever i saw an iPhone and saw how iMessage worked because RCS wasn’t a thing yet that’s realistically what drew me into the whole Apple ecosystem truthfully and plus Apple had just came out with the iPhone 6 and thats when i switched it was a beautiful phone and now i have the Black Titanium 15 Pro Max & i have no complaints
Yeah iMessage was clutch
Was originally invested in the ecosystem with the Macbook, iPad, IPhone and Apple TV. I only use the iPhone and Apple TV now,. (I don't wear watches, prefer Sony headphones/earbuds and Windows). Right now, I think I'm staying with iPhone due to my family/friends are mostly on iPhone, and it's just a damn good phone. I am going to hold out to see what Google Pixel will look like with the TSMC chip when my phone is paid off and go from there.
I've had more android phones than I have iPhones but I do prefer iOS, plus the galaxy watch is no where near the quality of the Apple Watch. I also like the way that Apple Card works with the Apple wallet and prefer how the notifications are done on iOS than android.
right
I can’t leave Apple because I’m caught in the iOS vortex period. I don’t care what other tech I buy I’m gonna have that iOS ecosystem pumping thru my life hard!
I think I can’t leave the apple ecosystem because I am too invested lol
I’ve thought about leaving but I would have to change EVERYTHING.
Right 😂
I want to LEAVE, but I CAN’T!!!! My family and all the Apple products I have brought won’t let me, but I love Samsung too!!!!
😂
Don't get me wrong, I like the s24 ultra that I have, but I do wish I would have gotten the iPhone 15 pro max instead 🤷🏾
For me it’s the consistency of android that keeps me with apple. Like at this point even with Samsung who seem to own android over google the apps don’t work as consistency as they do for iPhone. I’m someone that ONLY uses 3rd party apps and on iOS they work like apple made them for the phones and sometimes I forget that I’m even using a phone but when on I’m android ever so now and again microstutters and apps randomly stop working even without any error messages makes it hard for me to switch. For context I’ve used all the way up to a z fold 5. Speed is amazing but apps that I do use aren’t reliable on android. As much as I would LOVE to have a z fold as my primary device for life. The experience just has me wanting a apple version of it
I tried Microsoft, Google and Samsung extensively and Apple is the goat for simplicity, consistency, security, longevity and ecosystem is impeccable with it’s hardware & software
Right
iCloud leaks, less software updates, they get their screens from Samsung, have more basic hardware, IOS is limiting as a UI, and their ecosystem is not as big as Samsung’s.
I have been using both (ios and android) for a long time, but apples software is hard to get away from. It simply works better for me. The iPhone's connections to their other products is pretty seamless. I also have a PC and a MBP. I'm always on the MBP because the software has much smoother transitions between programs and windows. When I'm writing papers for school, swiping between windows is like butter. On my PC, it's clunky and takes an extra step to do anything. Plus, the battery life is insane. I am not a fan of the file system, but that's not a deal breaker. I don't see myself moving on any time soon.
It depends on how you use your devices. I and most people I know personally are not that immersed into Apple's ecosystem, mainly cuz none of us can afford such walled gardens. I have an S22 Ultra. My wife has a Pixel 7. Most of the rest our friends and family have some variant of an iPhone. Most of us use Windows PC's and laptops. Or Chromebooks. Only like 3 of us actually use a MacBook. None of us use Macs (too expensive). All of our iPhone users stay because of TWO apps and ONE feature. iMessage, FaceTime, and the camera. You can only get iMessage and FaceTime natively on an iPhone. And the iPhone has the easiest camera to work with that takes amazing photos. They don't care about anything else but those three things. Most Android users I personally know choose Android because they have a device that satisfies their individual eccentric personal needs. I personally need a big @$$ beautiful display and the SPen. Easy file management between my phone and other devices is also very useful to me.
We can ft y’all on there to y’all have to accept it to do ft from web so can can FaceTime with iPhone or etc
I left Apple when the X was out to the Note20 Ultra eventually. One helluva device. The Android tablets left me scratching my head along with the galaxy watches. Lo and behold, Christmas ‘22 I bought an iPhone 13 that was traded in for my now 14 Pro.
I have an iphone for work and I got to say it's the worst mobile experience ive ever had
iPhones suck at everything
espeically as no one in my entire country uses imessage, there's just no use in having an iphone.
I like their approach to smartphones and the echo system… I originally liked iPhones because they were so simple to use this was some years ago now I just like the look and the feel of most of their products and how smoothly they work together and now that I have Apple tv’s there’s no way I’m going back plus how connected I am with my family I can control parts of my moms house and visa versa
The best ecosystem is just what gets the job done. If Apple does it for you then great. I am fully deep in the ecosystem and only used to own an airPod and iPhone, so it was an easy switch for me since I already own google and Samsung product. Wirelessly use Dex with my Samsung TV, calls come through my google displays etc... I used an iPad for a brief moment, and it wasn't as good as my Microsoft tablet/computer when it comes to productivity. The only thing I miss though is iMessage.
I use both I have a s23 ultra and a 15pm my s23 ultra barley gets touched which is sad to say because I love it but I’m geuss I’m just drawn to my iPhone more like I said I love both but iPhone will always be my preference
right
Why would I?
Everything is just worse.
I tried and did for a while switching over to the S22 and S23 ultras with galaxy watches and S7 FE. Honestly the S23 Ultra is the best phone hands down but everything else is subpar in my opinion. It really became apparent when I had some health issues and wanted to start tracking some of my health data. That is when I really noticed the difference, the ecosystem! Information flows so seamlessly through Apple products. No fighting , no work arounds required. It just works as they say and hence my switching totally back to Apple. Also resale is terrible on Samsung products.
I left apple for the S24 Ultra! I still got an Ultra watch, MacBook and iPad pro!! I didn't find it difficult to leave.
right😂
For me man I come from generation when I had the first android. Purchased my first iPhone which was the iPhone 4 and to be honest wasn’t a bad fun just to small for me at the time and didn’t like iTunes. Fast forward I went back to android for 7 years with Samsung the galaxy and note phones and just got tired of customizing my phone and really was tired of the laggy and some the features that used to be exclusive just for Apple now on android has them back then. Now I’m full blown into apple ecosystem and my family has Apple and most of my friends and co workers have apple. So yeah I’m stuck in the wall 🪴
😂
I was a dedicated Samsung Note user from the Note 3 until the Note 10+. I made the switch to the iPhone 12Pro Max when Samsung stupidly decided to ditch the S-pen the year I was ready to upgrade. I don’t plan on going back because I could go from that 12Pro max to the 15 pro max without having the feeling of being left out. Other than a few hardware improvements, my 12PM held its own until I felt the 15PM had enough improvements worthy of an upgrade (120hz refresh rate, camera, Dynamic Island, action button, etc.). People don’t leave Apple because you don’t feel left out. EVERYONE gets iOS updates at the same time unlike Android where it was always a guessing game of when which non-Google phone with which carrier would get the update next. And from there, the latest flagship Android phones gets the update first. With Apple, I know I would still be getting iOS 18 if I still had the 12PM. I have no interest in the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Won’t leave Apple entirely but have made some conscious effort not to keep buying into their ecosystem.
Looking to get into the world of foldables so when Samsung drop their Z fold 6 I’m getting one.
So I’ll probably use both and just enjoy the experience.
Best of both worlds
My Apple lineup is strong but man the 15PM heats up like craaazy and the cell reception is horrible. I literally have to put it in the fridge sometimes to cool it down. Maybe it’s time for a trip to Apple. Battery health has dropped to 93% 🤦🏾♂️. I can’t even imagine the way it’s gone heat up with iOS 18
Yeah I would get that checked out as I don’t have those issues
No matter which side of fence though, I think it's so pathetic to see people ridicule what other people want. People get what they want, what works best for them.
Nobody on either side can say this is better than that, because you don't know how the person uses the phone, what's best for them.
iPhone 15 Pro is great, but I'm certainly not going to ridicule an android phone. Think it's better for all of us. S24 Ultra is gorgeous, Xiaomi 14 Ultra is gorgeous also. I wish Apple & Samsung to a lesser extent, caught up with latest Chinese firms on battery. Charging speeds are insane. No plan to upgrade from 15 Pro to 16 Pro, but if it came with super fast charging, I'd have to reconsider.
Exactly! but the feud somehow exist with no real point to it
The "walled garden" is like the Hotel California. U can checkout anytime u want to, but u can never leave. Refinement is helluva drug 😂😅
Beat me to it but I put a slant on the name...thank you to the Eagles!
For the last 2 years I have considered leaving Apple; mainly over the poor battery capacity and battery life (starting with the 14 Pro Max, now 15 Pro Max). I was going to go to Samsung in January, 2025, but now, with iOS 18, and if they change their battery technology, I may give them one more chance, and pick up a 16 Pro Max.
Bad battery life on the 14 and 15 Pro Max? Your joking right? I use daily Flitsmeister and Apple carplay in the car, GPS +/- 3 hours for fitness, calling 1 hour a day, messaging the whole day, listen to Apple music for 3 hours, backgroundapps like Facebook, Instagram and watching UA-cam in bed for 2 hours and on the end of the day i still have 60% battery left.. And when i went to sleep i put it on the magsafe charger for standby mode..
I can’t leave completely purely because of my my family especially my kids there school computers requirements are Mac book air and I’m the administrator for there computers I have to have an Apple product to manage them. So I have both.
I really appreciate your insight and your professionalism when it comes to reviewing one brand or another. You always keep it a buck and at the end of the day, you give us the information we need. Thank you bro!!
I appreciate that. Thank you
I have a MacBook pro, iPad pro, airpods pro, and Apple watch ultra but my phone is a s24 ultra.
I left the Apple ecosystem completely and am currently going back. I love many different brands of smartphones, but I somehow always go back to Apple.
right
If we chose to join the apple garden why would we wanna leave we chose it
🎯
I have been with Apple since 2009, and that first device was the iPhone 3GS. Before the switch, I had the iPhone HTC Evo which was a android device. I love my apple devices and really have no need or want to switch to any other platform. At least for me, It would be very dificult to switch to something else. with the amount of apple devices I have to date. Also my kid , my wife and most of my family members all have at least an iPhone.😄
Yeah they really tie you into the ecosystem. Its a great ecosystem, but like the Eagles once said, you can check in but you can never leave.
I had the se2020 and went to pixel ...never looked back and also went to the Google ecosystem .. seamless
I was able to leave my iPhone for the S24ultra. I still use my MacBook, Apple TV and iPad. S24ultra is a more powerful tool to use.
#1 thing that keeps me away from owning an iPhone is apple doesn't allow their users to install apk apps outside of their app store here in Canada.
#1 reason why I'll always stick to using an android is that with android they have always allowed all their users to be able to install apk apps outside of the app store.
I rely on being able to install apk apps outside of the android app store that aren't available on the Google Play store.
Hi! I've only had an iphone for years, and an MSI laptop for gamers. I have also used different android phones for years, the last one was the galaxy s24 ultra, which unfortunately is still not quality, but only quantity over and over again. Haven't used a google phone yet, but I changed the s24 ultra to a new xperia because samsung is not quality for me, it's still quantity, what with it looks quite beautiful, the s24 ultra camera just isn't the quality I'm spoiled with by iphone and the iPhone 15 Pro Max is still a quality phone, even if it has its flaws. I don't have the Apple ecosystem, while iOS is simply quality. And the quality among androids is actually Xperia phones, although it also has its own small flaws, Xperia's real camera is even better than iPhone at times. This is my description, knowledge, experiences at this point in time and they don't have to be suitable for others!
Had note series for years along with 3 different earbuds models. AirPods Pro 2 fit me the best. iPhone is nice too 😅
I use an Iphone for work and S24ultra for personal. I prefer my Samsung s24ultra all night and day.
respect
Was a hardcore Android fan. Buying everything from Vivo, Samsung, OnePlus, Huawei, LG, etc. Whatever had the newest feature and/or hardware that was cool I’d get it. But then I had a huge issue with my S22U so I finally decided to go to iOS. Haven’t looked back. The ecosystem just works too good. The 3rd party accessories support over Android is crazy too. Then add that Apple devices keep their value years later makes Apple something very hard for me to leave.
CJ Awesome Video but there is Factory reset if you get tired of any.I have had many different through the years. 💯✌️
I left Samsung 4 years ago…. Sold everything my entire family had and went to Apple… if I wanted to go back, I could but I don’t want to though…. Also I have had a iPhone, watch, AirPods, MacBook, and iPad…. Sold the Mac and I didn’t miss a thing. I think people make these videos to get people fighting about what’s better….. I say do you, it’s my money and I’ll buy what I want! 🍻
I got the iPod touch first and that led to me wanting to get the iPhone. Got the iPhone 5 and loved it so much. From there on i’ve been getting every other iPhone so im going on 12 years with Apple. In that time I got an iPad but that led to me wanting an iMac. Got some AirPods and an Apple Watch a few years back and about a year ago I copped a M chip MacBook 💻 when im chillin at home I look at it all and couldn’t imagine switching anything because all the devices are connected to my account and work seamlessly with the AirPods.
I use apple products for work coz the work apps just are more optimized and consistent in IOS. It’s not the fault of the developers they just have to deal with less phones on IOS compared to android and their various skins from various OEMs!
I say this all the time. The fragmentation of Android harms its optimization and always will
I like the fact that you’re honest man in one of your videos you said pictures from Samsung, don’t look good on iPhone and I’ve been the case for me man keep up the good work. I just get bored with iPhone that’s why I’m thinking about switching. to Samsung not that I think it’s better but I just want something different
Apple everything works great together simple to use and I’m not tired of it just works for what I need
I'm not into apple like that in sticking to my android Samsung s24 ultra been a Samsung user for 7 years & imma stick beside it
Respect
Like you said it’s the ecosystem, as much as I love Samsung you can’t knock how seamless all of Apple’s product work together especially when moving from device to device. See how easy it is moving from an iPhone to an iPad or MacBook why would I want leave, I’m happy in this ecosystem
Right
and also to be completely honest, i also got myself a second gen iphone se just try out an iphone and even though it's an impressive smarthone (and as i love my ipad pro) there's just no reason to use it.
again, i don't understand this ecosystem talk.
to be completely fair, i only use my iphone se as my wallet as i find more modern biometric scanners annoying.
