When the new iPhone 13 comes out I'll be switching to Apple after 10 years of using android, very excited!
Me too
I did it Totally worth it!
Same.
@@-xYz--nk1gm
Why?
Nope , I will stick with Android... Because new Google pixel and s22 ultra will make something revolutionary 👀
The fact is, the two operating systems are so incredibly similar now. Biggest difference for most people being that Android is still more customizable, though Apple is FINALLY trying to catch up. Cameras are amazing for both Android and iOS devices.
Vanilla Android , without a skin, is so fast though.
i think iphone for better privacy and link between apple devices such as the ipad and macbooks, android for customization and hardware
Vanilla android is quicker than iOS
True. One thing android hasn't caught up apple in, and never will.. is the safety and security
The other difference is that for the price difference, iOS is supported for nearly twice as long as most android phone, and a good 1-2 years more than even Google’s.
I'm hesitant to switch to IOS because of all issues u bring up. I've been happy with android cos it allows u to customize things the way u want it to be.
Yh, right? I am also thinking about switching to the iPhone 12 bc I like the design, camera and overall performance.
But watching this vid makes me wanna ask like, Why did you even switch to IOS?
Still, a very helpful video 👍
Im gonna wait till they let us design the themes how we want, USB-C & when the battery gets bigger. The iPhone 11/pro has better battery life than the 12/pro
@@damnson9170 The design/themes thing is easily customizable w/ the shortcuts app... but I do agree w/ the USB-c thing... like if I ever don't have my phone charged enough for the day I have to carry a USB-C to lightning cable, if it had USB-C I could just use my Macs USB-C cable to charge my phone when needed.
Im thinking well im already saving up for i phone 12 bc tbe disghing is just so pretty. Anyway evry featre that you lose , we lose by going to ios.evrything he says I dont use duuble clic for cam never used it. The Display thign I dont use it , so im not really loosing anything exexpt for the money i spend on google play but i have a samsung tabllet so I dont lose it either you know
@@sarahdelandy9147 don't start getting familiar with android anymore, thise nifty features that really makes life easier, might pull you back.
Switched yesterday , so far so good. Android is a good OS, but iOS is also good. Both have goods and bars, depends on what you want from your phone. Somethings are better on iOS, some are better at Android.
just wondering how your experience has been so far? I'm using a MacBook and am thinking of possibly switching for the seamlessness but I'm not sure how much pain it'd be.
@@JOELLZE be ready to that your laptop's life expectance goes from 10 years to 4 years when you switch from mac to windows.
@@Aaroniii that’s debatable I’ve seen pcs and laptops with windows go just as long it depends on maintenance and how fast you f the pc up really. But generally I hear macs can last a while
The only thing that would seal my switch to IOS - which I'm still waiting for - is for Apple to get their cluttered notifications sorted out.
I switched to Iphone after years too. The notifications aren't as good, but definitely got better due to grouping. They're actually not that bad now and I can sort of kind of compare them to android. They definitely don't feel good because they have the notification/control panel in different places so it feels just wrong but it shouldn't keep you from switching.
For every app just make notification grouping -by app..that was helpful for me
That is the worst part about it. I hate pulling down the entire notification bar.
@Luke Missirian-Parise What was the last android device you've used, because the android notifications are completely grouped already and come in chronological order and have been since Nougat.
@@MrNubshow I agree. All I care about is that they are in time order.
I've made a switch for two days and went straight back to android. I felt I was paying more for less of a phone. And locking your self in the Apple system is very expensive.
Very true
Yeah I’m stuck in it lol
Same!!
I'm 53 and my 23 year old son has been suggesting for awhile now that I switch to Apple from Android.
Never tried an iPhone, always liked the Android, as it's served my needs just fine.
My son has had an iPhone phone ready to give me for some time now. He said if I don't want it, he'll just sell it.
Maybe I'll switch one day, but I *"may"* end up as you by going back to Android. But hey, I have to give it a "go" first to find out..
@@generationx9294 apple has many good things but it’s not worth it, get a good android phone and go for that.
Thank you for reminding me just how great Samsung is... I was seriously debating upgrading to an IPhone but my list of pros with andriod outweighs those of the IPhone. The only thing about Samsung that drives me up a wall is when an Iphone user likes, hearts or dislikes a text... it spells out the reaction with ALLLLLLLL of the text characters of that message 😤
lol same
Samsung is basically the iPhone of Android
I just switched to iPhone and I have no regrets. The interface is much cleaner to me, iMessage and FaceTime are great, it’ll be supported longer with iOS updates, and every app is more optimized so everything runs smoother
Really the only reason I want to switch. But I'm sure andriod will catch up.
@@ceola9092 exactly
When I look up a way to do something on my Android phone, the answer is usually just to download a certain app and it's good to go. When I can't find a way to do something on my girlfriend's Iphone, the answer is often "Apple doesn't let you do that". That's what keeps me away from Apple. Too much control
Top 100 things that did not happen
what have you not been able to do on an iphone
@@tricket2701 dowload apps that android has
And android lets you dowload from the web which means open source apps are mostly on android lol
@@tonivoul1971 apple does it for a security reason lol
which is why android gets viruses way much more
@@xzanm9216 yea some amazing features will always have a drawback
and freedome of installing apps from everywhere can be dangerous
just switched from android to an iphone 12 mini and im in LOVE!
I am about to do exactly that!
My iPhone 12 mini is arriving on monday!!! I'm so excited 😍
Same girl! But I’m still lost
I'm gonna go to an iStore this weekend to see how mini it is. I'm debating it and the iPhone 11. That's all I can afford for now.
What is it like for you? I will be doing this in a matter of hours when UPS delivers my phone. Am kinda nervous.
@@LadanSoodmand it took me a while to get used to the UI but everything else is great! all the apps i used to use on my android runs smoothly on the 12 mini. i promise you there’s nothing to be nervous about. ^^
I've been bouncing around from Android to brief stints with IOS for the past eight years. I don't know what it is but I appreciate the simplicity of IOS and of course iMessage and Facetime, not having to force close apps and the here and overall I just don't have as many glitches with app closures.
But then I notice when I'm using an iPhone I just don't use my phone as much, lol. I just don't want to use it as much for some reason. I just don't enjoy my phone as much whenever I switch back to using an iPhone. I randomly start missing features I barely even noticed in the first place on my Android devices.
Why you dont use your iPhone and what features you missed from Android?
Sameeee I’m missing some android features
Well that's a good thing. Not using the phone as much that is.
iOS is just way too limited and boring as hell. The only thing Android devices are missing right now which the iPhone has is FaceID. I know Android devices have face unlock but it's not as secure and hence why most banking apps don't support it! 😐
Oh my God! Yes, I can completely relate. I just recently bought the IPhone 13 pro max, and I notice that I’m just not quite as excited about this phone as I use to be about my Pixel 3XL. This is the comment I needed cause I thought I was all alone in this feeling. There are so many features that I’ve lost, and honestly I’m sad.
As someone who was a die hard android user debating iPhone this really sold me for the switch. I didn't use anything that was lost and the pains didn't really apply to me either, but all the pros definitely applied as a content creator, traveler, etc. Thank you for this!!
You're welcome Sunny! Glad my video helped :)
And good luck in your switch if you go ahead with it!
Did you switch? How was it? Please enlighten me. Die hard Samsung Note user here and I'm thinking of switching. But I'm too nervous because I loooove Android. Literally like a usb than you can download and save anything in it.
Would love to know if you switched and what you thought. I'm on the edge of taking the leap.
Looks like the list of pains outweighs the list of gains. I was almost ready to buy iphone 12. You made me rethink. 🥺
Well of course when you switch from one OS to a completely different OS that makes privacy and security a top priority, there is going to be initial pains with the setup. I just switched to the iPhone 12 from a Galaxy S20, and sure it took a little while to transfer and readjust to iOS, but I now find iOS to be much better than Android. I know Android has literally infinite customization options, but when you use an iPhone, you start to forget about it and let the OS sort-of decide for you. In iOS, there's no need to be overwhelmed by the thousands of different thing you could change on an Android device. Plus, the whole privacy and security thing with iOS is a huge bonus, in addition to iOS being optimized for Apple's chips. iOS overall feels more fluid, responsive, and simple. Simplicity is often the key to a better user experience, just saying.
@@brandongonzales3785 >Apple
>Privacy
Just buy a Linux Phone or root your Android phone, then flash a degoogled custom rom. That's the only way to get real security and privacy.
@@NuryPPanaligan who would want to do that, iPhone is the next best option that most people will take.
For iPhone users those things are normal not pains. Do you think iOS users will not be overwhelmed by android’s many functionalities when they switch? Change is never easy
@@rcc8347 how can a guy be overwhelmed for more functionality 😂?
I can't be with my Mom during COVID to teach her how to switch over, so I'm sending her this video as a tutorial. She finally consented to switching to iPhone from android. Personally I prefer Pixel, but for her use case, I support this. Thanks so much!
I've been looking like a video like this forever. Been on Android since 2011, never had an iPhone and truly curious about the pain points of switching. It helped a lot, thank you!
Did you switch?
Did you switch?
I changed to iPhone after being a hardcore android user and I don’t regret, it’s more expensive and kind of restricted but the optimization is superb minimizing the bad things about iphone. Got a mac and the watch and man the ecosystem workflow is unique
Just switched from android to iOS, and this was quite helpful, thanks!
Right i love iPhone
How was the switch? I'm thinking of going to iphone but I'm worried about lack of personalization.
@@Sbeth85 to be honest the amount of software optimisation made more then up for it. Besides, iOS is smoother then android even tho the phones have les gigs of ram.
Same
@@Sbeth85 yeah same 😂😂
I've been an android user for 10 years too and decided to make the jump to the 13 pro. I realized smartphones are smartphones at the end of the day and I'm not a tech person, I just want good functionality and the apps that I like. I stayed away from iOS just to be different, I'm sure some features I'll miss but with these new generations I'm fine with joining the crowd
What androids?
If you are not a tech person, you don't need an Iphone 13 Pro.
How are you getting on with it?
Just switched from an iphone 12 to the S21 ultra i love this and happy to be back on Android
Fucking hell i think i fucked up switching to apple
@@Victor-qe3zg well if you're enjoying your phone that theres nothing to regret
I switched from iphone 11 pro max to a galaxy note 20 and Im happy to be back on Android as well. It's been over a monh
Why do you like Android more?
@@pedromonteiro2644 me
The customization options
I get a much better signal
I don't need a ton of cords to use different things or a ton of adapters
This is the best experience and description i have seen online and believe me i have looked.
Thank you for such an elaborate work, with precise details. Its Dec 25, 2021 and finally i am convinced.
Great Job Sir.
Very helpful overview! I've been an Android user since graduating from flip phones (except a brief period with a work iphone, which was fine.) Now my pixel 2 is dying and I'm trying to decide if I go for another android or move to iphone. The privacy /no tracking features on the iPhone are a big motivator, and the 12 mini is one of the very very few phones that will actually fit my hands. The big issue is I'm just so habituated to all the android features.
Yeah pixels are pretty known for degrading batteries fast I got a old first gen google pixel Xl I use for emulation the battery dies pretty fast even with antennas off but that could be from going to android 10 on 7 or 8 the battery wasn’t that bad
I am in the same predicament right now.. what did you decide to do if you dont mind me asking?
What did you switch to??
The 13 mini is basically the same as the 12 mini but with slightly better cameras, better battery and Cinematic mode (1080p only)
Same.. last iPhone I had was the 4.. been on Android since HTC One.. then Galaxy S6, S8, now S20FE.. finally thinking about going back to iPhone for the new 14. Trade in value for my phone is pretty high. But I'm having Android to iPhone anxiety. Not sure if I should make the jump. I will really miss my customizations. I liked being different.
I’m actually switching from back from iOS to Android just to get a feel for what is out there Android wise. I think it’s good for everyone to know both ecosystems.
So after all this time do you have a preference? I'm struggling on whether I should stay with Android or try switching to Apple. I love my Android but I would love Facetime and iMessage.
@@colbsteri I myself am trying to make a decision. 10 years strong on Android and I am debating whether or not I should get the iPhone 13. If you find it appealing, then it wouldn't hurt to try it for a while. I'll do it with you, and theres plenty of other Android users who want to dip their toes in the water. Or I guess Apple juice lol.
@@colbsteri People, you are buying a top phone, you will not regret anything. If you change you just have to be open minded and now that will take you couple of days to adjust your habits. Most of the things people say they miss when they switch is literally in your heads. You will forget about them in couple of days. Inform yourself, make a decision and when you do, don't troll the OS because something was missing. I bounce around both. I can talk for hours about the benefits of android phone and then will go buy an iphone and the rest of the overpriced products because its worth it. Android vs iOS has always been Features vs Quality
This might be the most insightful video I've seen on the switch from Android to iOS. Thanks a lot.
Switching to iPhone was doing my head in. After lot of internet scrapping, finally an accurate video.
Wow so much detail...this is one happy fella who made the right choice 👍🏽
One of the few video’s that was really informative, thanks.
Woww This is the best, I really appreciate you, You covered all of the stuff and every tiny things and all in a very simple and understanding way💯💯 Thank you so much 👍❤️
Done a very very good job 👌
Just swipe left to open camera from locked screen no need to hold it
You need to wake the screen for that. Much slower than double pressing the power button.
@@MixyezGuy well you can tap to wake the phone then swipe, slower yes but not significantly
@@TradLadJonny Double pressing the camera button doesn't even require you to look at the screen. It's instantaneous.
@@MixyezGuy you can simply turn on raise to wake option so whenever you take the phone to your hand it will automatically turn on the display and just swipe left to open the camera. way simpler than double press.
@@janith077 But that requires two steps, raising the phone & swiping on the camera icon. You also need to look at the screen to do this.
Double pressing the power button doesn't require any of these steps. It's much faster as well.
Thanks for the video. I'm still deciding whether to make the switch. The compelling part of Apple - is the simplicity. They control everything, so everything works. The repelling part is that they control EVERYTHING. Android can get frustrating because, like you said, it has so many choices. Sometimes you just want things to work. I really wish Windows had stayed in - Windows for PC has always had the right balance - it all works out of the box BUT you can play and customize to fit you too. I also keep hoping Amazon will get in the phone game. I'm already bought into their ecosystem with my echo's and kindles - may as well go all in but need a native Amazon phone to make it all work seemlessly. A lot of prime features I don't use because integration is difficult. This is harder than buying a house!!
I feel like an Amazon phone would end up like windows, but they're also a powerhouse like Apple and I can definitely see a world in which they could cultivate the same draw of exclusivity and refinement Apple has 15-20 years down the line.
Great the way you explain. Very clear. Compared to you I've just realize I only use my phone for very basic things!...calls, messages, internet, photos, written/spoken notes....oh and calendar!! :)
My main gripe with iPhone is that the gesture navigation is inconsistent. In android, when I swipe from the edge of the screen, it will send me back to the previous page in whatever app I'm using. In an iphone, it's a puzzle, a game of guessing, it depends on which app and at what page with the most annoying is when I have to reach to the top of the screen to press the X button.
Therefore, I have concluded that iphones are most suitable if you fall into any of the categories:
1. you don't know much about smartphone and just want a reliable smartphone with fast processor
2. you want to use your phone for a really long time - 5 years or longer (assuming it didn't broke first)
3. you hate google
4. you were locked in apple ecosystem
5. you never used an android phone
8:21 just one swipe would take u to the camera app.. no need to press/hold nothing... just swipe from R-L
I think he need more to know how to use iphone
The back button thing too. When you wanna go back to a previous app you can just swipe along the bottom of the screen in the gesture area and bang you’re there. No need to reach for the top left.
@@harrykatsaros he's talking about going back within an app. Not app switching. Speaking as an android user who just switched to iPhone, it's much better/quicker on Android.
@@Noisa You just swipe from left of screen to go back within the app.
@@harrykatsaros yes, but it's much easier to have a dedicated back button, or in gestured android devices, from the right as well. Just cumbersome on iPhone for one handed use if you're right handed, by comparison.
Really great video, complete and honest. Keep up the good work
Much appreciated!
@@TrendingReviews bro thank you so much for this i have subscribed. i am an android user like u since 2010 thinking about switching to iphone and the thing keeping me from switching is transferring everything from google one google drive to icloud
Very helpful information thank you man . First time I completed UA-cam video and got satisfied with informations I have learned and heard .all the best
Thanks my man! Glad it helped and you stuck with it throughout!
I'm so glad you covered AA vs Carplay thanks
Actually a very helpful and legit video. Staying Android eco for the time being
Thanks
This is a fantastic video. I'm switching from a Pixel 4 to an iPhone 12. This was super helpful. Thank you!
How are you finding it?
While I'll continue to use a Windows Laptop and Android phone, I recently bought an iPad(unlike computers and phones Apple 100% wins in tablets) and I'm having so much trouble using iOS I legit have no idea what I'm doing. Using it the first day made me feel like I was a boomer lol
Same haha
I just bought and iPad and felt pretty lost, what app does what etc.......
@@Hanatsuki27 You'll be able to use it as well as you use your phone in like a week and half. I'm already on my second iPad now and it's great
Great summary of what you're facing when switching to an iphone. I am waiting for the iPhone 13 pro to make my switch. As you say once you're invested in the apple eco system it is just a reasonable move to also get an iphone. The connectivity is amazing and it just makes it all easier. For now I am using my oneplus 7 pro which is buy any means an amazing phone although i am running into some issues with connectivity to my macbook pro and ipad pro. It just annoys me how i can not just send files back and forth etc.
8:21 try turning on double tap back or triple tap back button option and set as your preference to launch camera app
you just might have convinced me to switch for my next phone lmfao 😂(just waiting to see if 120hz display won't drain iPhone 13 pro battery life too much...)
I wanted to do this but couldn’t find the option. I have back tap twice fir screenshot but I’d prefer to open camera with it...
Would love to see an update to this video
This is really a wonderful video bro. Thanks a ton !
Just the video I needed. Thank you! ☺️
I’ve just done the same thing after being with Samsung for many years. I have just got the iPhone 13 pro max which is amazing. I do a bit of photography and the camera has been very impressive so far. There a a few features that I still prefer on my Samsung which you spoke about but over all I am enjoying the iPhone.
I'm switching in September simply because I'm no longer a person who's that invested in customising my phone. I stopped using custom launchers, icon packs, themes etc. I just change the ringtone, dark mode, and wallpapers. That's it.
There's only 2 apps that I'll miss when I switch, Samsung Notes and Samsung Sound Assistant. Apple notes seems cool, so I think I'll be fine, as for the latter 🥺.
What the duck is a sound assistant?
Do you have regrets 2month later
The same applies here. The days of flashing roms and testing mods are long gone.
@@marioluigi9599 it's a cool Samsung app that gives you better control of your your phone treats sound from all apps.
You can do things like, play multiple sounds. Play sound while recording video, play one app through BT and another through earphones etc.
@@koefigga1 Haven't bought it yet.
I am looking at making the change.
Your video is very useful. Thanks.
This video is good and detailed. Touching on pain points. New sub 👍
Just some things you should know before switching that I thought was annoying after switching recently. The notifications and tool bar are separate and it's a bit annoying reaching to the left top side of screen to see notifications and sliding right opens the notification. The back button is a big thing too. Going back is a bit different in every app, you can slide right sometimes from the left side of screen or other way around or click the tiny back button on the top of screen, Android was just so much easier. Downloading music and listening is 100x harder on iPhone, probably my biggest pain. No messenger chat heads. So I have to switch the app but a trade off is you can read the messages in the notifications bar. it can be complicated to move data from Android to iPhone. It took me a few hours redownloading apps and changing passwords. Also the swipes are annoying. You need to really slide down the whole screen to open notifications or tool bar if you do it slow. But sliding down fast opens it straight away. That's all
I'm on a s22 ultra and was thinking about getting a 13 pro until I heard about the notifications sucking. I can't believe you can't swipe down from the middle of any home screen to open the notification center.
Lmao that is why I switched to iPhone 23 mini. Small phone, easy reach. Still got my android tho
My biggest issue switching to iOS is the keyboard layout. I am less than impressed.
@@jerry4012this has never existed on any iphone ever and is really exclusive on androids only so not sure how you didn't know that...
@@coldskoolbeatzI have been an iphone user for 10 years and recently made the switch to Android.
And now I totally understand what android users are talking about when it comes to the iOS keyboard. It is soooo counterintuitive.
It's so bleak and slim that it's not a good keyboard at all, I have been using Gboard on a Samsung device and it's heavenly!!
Two little pet peeves about Gboard is that the emoji key icon is right besides the space bar to the left and i accidentally tap on it sooo many times while typing and also that you can't move the cursor up or down you can only move it left to right. On the iOS keyboard I can hold the space bar and move the cursor all around up and down anywhere in the box. On gboard it restricts you to only move to the left or right.
But I can just tap somewhere instead to get the cursor their but that's my only issues.
Gboard is wayyyy better than iOS keyboard
Great video! You covered most of the things I have challenges with as I go through the switch to iOS. I've lost some functionality that I didn't realize the iPhone didn't have. I feel a lot better knowing it's just not me.
Thank you for this, this is really helpful!
Thank you for this video! Making the switch from Android to Apple and this video was very helpful
To launch the camera you can also swipe from the right to the left side of the screen. It’s much faster than holding down the camera icon
I think about switching to iOS and this video helped me so much on my decision (which is really really hard, I love Samsung but after 8 years I would like to try something new, might change back in a few years)
Can’t really go wrong with both. I feel it’s all about preference. Great video
This is actually my situation. Thanks for making this video
You're welcome!
Thanks for the video! I just switched as well and the back button being as far away as possible from my thumb was something I was not expecting haha. I’m curious what keyboard you went with. I hate how there is no punctuation without tapping a button
Me too! I really hate that I don't have a dedicated comma key on the keyboard - its probably more widely used than the period key. I use SwiftKey for now, which still isn't as great as the Android version, but better than Apple's default keyboard. I had setup a shortcut to get the comma key, which was a double period. Much like how a double space creates a period character.
Hope that helps!
great video man, thank you! im planning the same swap. need a lot of prepation though...
You can do it!
This was most helpful! Thanks to your timely information, I'm sticking with my Android.
Glad I helped make a decision for you!
Useful video. Thank you.
Swapped a day ago and honestly its not that bad. The things cons heavily have to do with the customization. However what you gain is simplicity and the idea of how things will work out because it's apple. Functionality, simplicity, speed, etc. I swapped mainly because I wanted a change of pace and also all friends of mine are on iPhones now. To communicate quicker and easier, I swapped over and it definitely feels like i joined a new family. I still adore Android features, but for now Apple align with my goals. Which is speed, communication, efficiency, and minimalism. I don't really need a ton of flash or flair, I just need to get shit done.
this sounds like me I have s21 ultra rn and am keeping this phone but wanna get the iPhone 14 pro max in 4-5 months cause I wanna test out the smoothness and different ecosystem and ease of use, sleek look, awesome accessories, cases features, I'm nervous but excited because I think I'll love it
@@Dantectez I switched recently from Android (Oppo Find X2) to iPhone 14 Pro and I mainly don't regret it.
There is a few annoyances though, where I was really shocked as I expected exactly what the OP described: Simplicity, ease of use, basically the "it just works" experience.
One example I was googling way longer than I should have to find a solution just to find out there isn't one:
I wanted to just "globally" mute Notifications (the "bing" sound when I get messages etc.) without muting the phone altogether (so to have calls still ringing), this is a feature I just took for granted on Android for years.
On iOS this simply doesn't exist!!! I have to manually mute/disable notifications for every single fucking app, or mute the phone altogether, it's driving me nuts and I'm still not done sorting through all of them.
This is just one example of quite a few but stuff like this is bugging me more than it probably should because my everyday user experience feels noticeably worse than before now, not better, easier or simplified...
Oh well, at least I have control over my data now and important stuff happens on device plus apps are all properly developed and "vetted"...
"I don't really need a ton of flash or flair I just need to get shit done"
Goes and buys a flagship phone that has a following who believes it's a status symbol. Nah no need to be flashy🤣🤣
@Genghis Khan if you genuinely believe the last part of your comment about data security... I feel bad for you.
@@YaM0MsAh03 well compared to Android it is the lesser of two evils I suppose… there I know for certain that I’m paying my rather cheap devices off with my personal data later on…
You have other recommendations?
Very helpful for me! The last time I had an iPhone it was an iPhone 4. I’ve had a android for 10 years or so as well and you are spot on with everything that you have spoken about in your video, I decided to switch back because my friends and family all have an iPhone. I am now the owner of an iPhone 13pro max and very happy, Thanks for this video 😌
Glad my video was helpful!!
Very well done! Thank you!
I was toying with the idea of switching to eyePhone. Your review has led me to start with Android.
Thanks for the tips. Will be switching soon from note10+ to 14 pro
That's a lot of pains. Sounds like you should stay on android. 😂
I was thinking this. Doesn't seem like he wants to swap!
@@matsquatch1251 a lot don't want to switch but if you have other apple products then it sort of makes sense, even if the phone itself isn't your favourite.
@@xHeLLz I know, I'm a pixel lover at heart but my entire family all use iPhones.
@@xHeLLz how would duo be useless? I talk to my iPhone friends with it.
@@gideoninc8687 no you don’t lol. It doesn’t work like that. I literally just got rid of my s20 and was not able to call anybody with an iPhone using it.
why is picking a new phone so hard
Very helpful, thank you!
This is a nearly identical situation to mine, couldn't be more perfect. I'm also switching from a Pixel 4XL, have a Galaxy Gear watch, a MacBook, iPad Pro, Apple TV, all my family is on iPhone. Exactly the video I needed to make a final decision to switch!
Good video. I was planning on switch back to the iPhone( switched from iPhone 7) but your video just confirmed that there's no need to. I'm heavily invested in the apple system the only thing I don't have is the phone. But There's too many features that I'd be losing that wasn't mentioned.
I’m switching from apple to android for the first time in 8 years. I’ve never had a smartphone that wasn’t an apple product. I came here to see if there was anything specific I’d be missing out on or if I need to prepare for anything specific, but, conveniently, none of your 6 major reasons really apply to me at this point in life! Im sure the CPU specs you brought up at the end are super valid, but I’m going from an iPhone X to a brand new model. Im sure I’ll be just as blown away by my new android! Im looking forward to being able to customize and clear out some things in the transition. I don’t have many apple products anymore as I switched to a PC last year and use a Fitbit rather than an Apple Watch. In my experience, iPhone batteries deteriorate over time and it won’t be that great for very long, so I’m psyched to have the rapid charging option on my new phone! Many people in my family have already made the switch so we’re already using things like secondary apps for video calls. My car is super old and doesn’t even have Bluetooth for music (ever the less something like CarPlay). I’m ready to make the jump over to android!
Are you happy with your Android phone after 4 months ?
Thank you for your depth.
I appreciate this review. I've been an android user for 20 years and I'm feeling more assured to make the switch.
Looking to switch, like u my last iphone was 3GS. Good vid
Ive been an iphone sheep until 7, switched to android and i just cant see myself going back to apple. Ive held iphone 12 pro max on my hand and didn't even felt any excitement about it lol.
Me too, was hoping to switch, held a friend's 12 pro, checked it out and it's still miles behind my note 10 + !!! Samsung is killing it .. making apples look dated .
@@deniss7476 Really? How? I’m thinking of switching to apple so I’m curious how your phone is miles ahead.
@@johnboy6799 its depend on person actually, how you use your phone pretty much define which OS is suitable for you.
For me android especially samsung runs better. The convinces such as
1) Samsung clipboard manager (copy paste much easier and can remember 25+ item copied to paste anytime)
2) samsung pay (available world wide unlike apple
3) samsung keyboard is way much convient and advance than ios keyboard,
4) samsung ecosystems wit watch and tablet. Yeah, they have the feature same as ios, can foward call to be answer on tablet, reply message and also get any phone notifications on tablet
5) Quickshare (basicaaly air drop between samsung device), android also now have nearby share which airdrop between any different brand of android
6) to able to connect cable between phone to window pc and copy paste 40-50GB files fast is very convenient
7) split screen in phone and tablet, i use alot especially when hearing youtube video while scrolling thru FB/insta
8) SPEN & samsung Spen apps is a spectacular especially with plagarism and precision work. To able to extract text from image easily and copy them to paste later or make Note with photo and handwritting, diary making with Spen is superb.
I can continue but its late now i need sleep 🤣😴😴
imagine being this rich 😔
@@BusyraKhiarafif XD that’s not miles ahead bud the only thing in there that’s ahead is Apple Pay world wide and that’s not even good most ppl in the us don’t travel outside the country anyway nice try though 😂😂🤣🤣
Great info, thanks! 😄
Thank you. Good work!
also switched after being a lifelong android user from pixel 4xl to 12 pro..... link handling is my biggest gripe ... other than that its pretty great
This man gets it. + imagine the pain of rooted users!
Wow! I did enjoy your video lots Umer, clear, nice tempo and very well structured and it has helped greatly even today that I have moved to iPhone 14. Well done mate, you have a new subscriber.
Thank you so much Tomas!! ✌🏼
Excellent information thank you so much
Pro's
1. S21 Ultra is about on par (I made the reverse transition)
Your main reason you switched to iPhone is called "peer pressure"
The simplicity point is so dumb... Carpaccio as a starter for ever YO!
I just want to be able to use i message face time airdrop semd clear videos and post clear tiktoks. Not peer presure. Just excited to try something new.
Ewww.... I just tried to switch to iPhone. I hated it right away. Br9ught back the phone and got s22 ultra. Very happy now.
Great video, thanks!!!
This video was super helpful! I have an iPhone 13 pro Max on the way and coming from Android for years-trading out my pixel 3XL
I love my note 10 plus, and I hear all of these great things about iPhone, although I'm deathly afraid of getting a 1400 dollar iPhone and hating it.
btw. I'm an iPhone User and I would never buy the Pro Max. I don't know what you need but as an every day user I am perfectly happy with my iPhone Xr (got it for 350€, around 430$) and would choose the standard non pro version of iPhone 12.
@@Lucas-re9ww it's gonna sound stupid, but I like big screens, thats my only reason. And I don't wanna go from a top of the line android to a mid tier iPhone
@@wadyz well in that case I completely understand your fear. ^^'
@@wadyz the 12 pro and pro max are 100% the same except screen size and battery obviously to power the screen.
I am in the exadct same position, just not sure if it's really worth the switch.
I moved from the galaxy note 9 to the iPhone 12 pro a few weeks ago. I had the iPhone 3GS and was frustrated that it was not as computer like with my windows laptop. I didn’t like iTunes. From there I when to android and windows phone. I then tried the iPhone 8plus for 6 months and went back to android with galaxy note 9. I definitely had a better experience with Samsung after goodlock and pop up windows. Unfortunately I learned in the last 2.5 I like updates and better app quality. I used multitasking almost every week but apple made enough changes to convert me overt with 12 pro max. I’m into video and music production and android wasn’t cutting it enough. My paid music apps broke with android updates and I also needed a faster computer for editing videos. I found out my 2018 iPad is faster than my i5 intel 5200 processor at rendering video in the apps I were using. I already have paid iPad apps that still work and one that was broken with an update was fixed. I really miss multitasking. Having android phone these days are good. It’s like they say quantity vs quality. You get a lot of tech in android phones but they aren’t worth as much a few years down the road then it’s on to the next big thing. I see iOS as more of an investment now that depreciates slowly. I just don’t have time these days trying to make things work on android when if you just learn iOS. it works. Those comments people make about the walled garden are true and worth every penny you pay. You can get most of your money back if you don’t like it. I can’t say the same of my android phones. I only plan to use android as a secondary WiFi phone. Looking back a pixel might be the best option unless Samsung sticks to their 3 year promise. Thing is who knows if you will be left with a buggy update as your last.
I've just got my first iPhone ever. I've been using Samsung and various Android bits and bobs for almost 15 years. That double tap for the camera... I miss that SO MUCH! Thank you for highlighting how to transfer your whats app stuff over, because that was really annoying to me.
Very detailed! Thanks!
I switched from Android to iPhone after over 10 years on Android... I’m good with it n loved it... that Apple 🍎 eco system and apps is something serious...
Same
Awesome video man!! I switched from android after almost 6 years. I felt your “pain”!! But the fact is we do get used to iOS after a while!! Once you get used to iOS, you can definitely see how seamless the apple ecosystem is and fall in love with it!! I don’t regret switching from stock android to iPhone 11. (I still use my android phone as a secondary device and thanks to Google photos that all my photos are synced across all my android and iOS devices!)
@Noob My experience with iPhone till now is great. I love the ecosystem and iOS aesthetics. Initially I missed some of the android feature but now I am used to it. But definitely if someone’s switching from android there will be some limitations/ compromise in terms of freedom and customisation. Overall I am having a great experience using iPhone and the Apple ecosystem. If you wish to experience that and if you love iOS style, aesthetics and usability then definitely you should upgrade to an iPhone!
Use the back tap shortcut to turn on camera. I have mine set up for three taps to screen shot, but you can set it up for anything.
This is the video that I have been looking for and needed on this topic perion this topic. 👍👍👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Helpful video, thank you. One thing I'd like to mention regarding what you said. Although users are spoilt for choice on Android with so many devices, unfortunately most of them have various quality issues . These range software/ GUI and go to various hardware problems: Bluetooth and wireless reception, battery life, overheating, build quality etc. Another key advantage for iPhone is the form factor. If you want a compact premium pjone there is no choice for you at the moment on Android. Well there is Samsung S20 but the Exynos version has known serious problems so there you have it...
Great review! First time watching your video. As a long time Android user myself too, you covered most of the points and even some I never thought of. Subscribed!
Thank you very much!!
you can create custom back taps on the iPhone that you can program to perform certain functions such as opening the camera app. Settings > accessibility > Touch > back tap
This is me currently. Thank you for posting this.
Google chrome has a password manager built in and now you can choose chrome as password manager in ios in addition to iCloud keychain
Wait does this work when you switch operating systems? Because this would be one of the things I was most concerned about when I was going to order a new 12 pro
@@foxtrot_oscar you have all the passwords saved in chrome available to be autofilled on IOS 14.
I'm making the switch for the first time. Been on Nexus/Pixel for 10+years.
For the camera shortcut, you can use the iOS shortcuts app to point the double tap/triple tap in iOS touch under settings. While it does still need the unlock step it's almost as fast.
The iOS shortcuts are very powerful to mimic some of the more interactive Android widgets if you take time to program them..
Very thorough. An android 12 year veteran is considering the dark side
Very usefull information who change the complete system to other system thanks brahhh
WOW that is also me too, my last iPhone was 3gs!!!
