BTW, 3 of my cases (cinderella, butterfly & bear) are the same ones that Jennie, Rose, and Jisoo have 💗🖤I had to fulfill my fangirl heart and pick out the same ones to twin with them hahaha

iPhones and Androids have their own pros. It just depends on your taste in my opinion

[ooof.u]

The best (or worst) thing about Apple is the ecosystem. It just makes you want to stay because of everything fitting with each other like Legos.

I’ve just switched to iOS too after years using Android and I completely agree with you. Widgets could be more interactive and as someone who has some Google Home devices I feel it takes a little more effort to use them.

ive been using apple since i was in high school, but now that im in college ive decided to switch to android. They both have pro's and cons, but i went for android because of its expandable storage and customizability

[hanzios]

as a lifelong android user, i never really wanted to switch to ios. i get the pros that u can get with the brand, but ultimately, i pick android everytime

[michaelprier]

Can’t lie, I do feel like androids have always been more customizable!

[mackineer]

Been an adroid user since forever and I decided to try out the iphone 13 pro max and honestly, I'm loving it so far. It took some time to adjust to the OS.

I've been a long time apple user, from an iphone 3GS. I used an Android phone for a little while after the iphone 4s. The galaxy series to be specific. Then I changed back to apple until recently. Ever since the pixel 6 came out I've been excited to try and switch to it. And I did! Been using the pixel for 2 weeks now and honestly I am quite surprised as I thought I'm going to struggle to try to get used to the OS. Been enjoying the pixel so far. 😌😌

I am currently using a Note 20U and I have a iPhone 12 Pro Max. I switch between the two quite often. What I love about Samsung is the customizations. I love that Samsung keeps pushing the envelop on technology. My reason for Apple is the fact that everything works, syncs together and timely updates. Something Samsung is getting better at. Either eco system is great it all depends on the user.

Great video Ella!
I tried to switch to an iPhone and loved it, but can't seem to get used to iPhones gallery app and files app, compared to Androids. Android just makes it very easy to find everything by making separate folders for everything.

One thing that bugs me the most is that the iPhone keyboard doesn't show the number row or alternative character (like long-press on a key to input another character) but I have to click the bottom left button every single time to access those. In my case of use, I need to juggle between letters and digits a lot so this is truly an inconvenience. Also, the default calculator app on Samsung is far more superior with history and built-in unit converter.

I switched from iPhone to s21 ultra a week ago 😅 no regrets so far better than an iPhone (I've had an iPhone since it was smaller and thicker 3g)

[redunsettle]

i once switched to iOS from my Samsung note 9, worst mistake ever. having to repeatedly reach for the top left or top right of the phone, slow lightning port, cant download files and videos easily, notifications were messy, no always on display, no dual sim.. list is endless. i find it strange when people try to justify all these just by saying the iPhone just "works", even the network and data speeds are low on the iPhone . well to each his own. For me its Android on samsung S and note series which is the total package.

I made the move to iPhone 13 Pro from OnePlus 7 Pro. My first day with the iPhone I was thinking oh no I a made a huge mistake, but once I got over the shortcomings of iOS, I have been tremendously happy with this phone. I thought the notch would be my biggest annoyance, coming from OnePlus Pro 7, but surprisingly it hasn't bothered me due to that screen real estate note being super important for the OS. The biggest negatives for me are how iOS does notifications and icon arrangement. The biggest pros have been the superior RAM management on iOS and the strong battery life.

[codacreator]

The real clincher for me, after literally decades of Android use, was the glitchiness of apps and occasional freezing. Because Android developers have to take into account an huge number of handsets and hardware configurations, the best you’ll ever get from Android is “good enough” where Apple iOS is one ecosystem where every app is designed and optimized for it and its devices. If an app doesn’t work or causes my device issues, what’s the point of all that customization?

You have to realise S21 have received countless amount of firmware updates ever since its launch, and vast majority of its bugs and glitches have been polished over time although I'd say that they still don't run as stable as it should.. at least on my S21 Ultra.
Most of the bugs and glitches you experienced with Pixel 6 models are mostly to do with the new Android 12 as this iteration is one of the biggest change and overhaul coming from Android 11,

Also Android 12 along with Pixel series (especially the Pixel 6 series) have not even had a proper firmware update yet since release. Just a November security update which was very minor.

That's why the upcoming December security update will have over whopping 100 different optimizations and bug fixes to both Android 12 and Pixel 6 models such as thermal battery improvements, camera stability and performance improvements, various of sensor improvements along with fingerprint and so many more to list.
If you still have your Pixel 6, try and wait until the 13th Dec as that's when the update will rollout on your Pixel 6.
I would say this massive update will put Pixel 6s where it needs to stand within the competition.

I am noticing tons of improvements and refinements to optimization on my Pixel 5 already as the older Pixel models received it yesterday, a week earlier than Pixel 6s.

One feature that most of the time is overlooked in iOS is the build-in 2fa (2 factor authentication) generator. Once setup it will also be available on your Mac. And you don’t have to put the code in manually.

I've been primarily an Android user but have occasionally used iPhones. I have a pixel 4a 5g and have been eyeing the iPhone 13, I think I'm getting a bit tired of all the different types of phones, and i already have a MacBook, iPad, and airpods so I feel an iPhone would work much better with them than my pixel. It's a good phone but sometimes there's glitches and crashes, and I keep on wondering how polished iOS is. Also I'm very aesthetic oriented and can't deny how good the pink iPhone looks, and there's so many cute accessories for them too! If I get an iPhone I'll definitely miss the customization, I love changing icon packs and the sizes and everything, but I don't think it would be a huge deal for me. Just hoping it becomes easier in the future lol. Thanks for the video! It's very helpful for people on the fence like me lol

I have been switching back and forth from iOS and Android but ended up with iOS for consistency and tired of customising my phone after a while. But I do see the benefit of Android OS (unless you are fully integrated to Apple Ecosystem).
