Why I Switched to Android from iPhone in 2025

I know I know, another 'Switches to' video, but this time I wanted to just cover what I've noticed when moving between iOS / Android. It's less about which phone I choose to use (I'm not sure why everyone cares so much about which phone someone uses!) but more about showing you all what I've noticed as differences.

Don't be surprised when you see another video in a few weeks time about my thoughts on switching to iPhone! 😂

Which phone in the last few years got you the MOST excited? For me, it was the S24 Ultra!

[clocggg]

The real winner is the person who has the freedom to switch to whatever he wants. So many people today refuse to even consider because they are "locked" in

i love how hardly anyone is hating on apple/android in this comment section, but just sharing their personal experience with each device. that’s how it should be. this phone wars gotta stop

I’ve always been an Android user but decided to try Apple when iPhone 15 Pro Max came out. Got sucked in with the watch etc but really miss Android and how much more efficient it feels if I need to be productive and how much snappier it is. Swapping back to a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra next month. Also, love the choice of LP for the music.

I still mainly used an iPhone 11. Looked this month at the iPhone 16 plus at 1100 USD and then got the offer from my carrier for a Samsung S24 FE for 440 USD. Combined it with a Samsung fit 3 for 60 USD. I am now an impressed android user...

Those closing words were the best I’ve ever heard from any YouTuber!!!! “Stop worrying about whatever phone everyone else is using and just be happy with whatever phone you choose!” Well said sir! Thank you! Here in the US it’s always apple vs android or no one will talk to you because of what color bubble you’re messaging them with and it’s insane why that is! Even when it comes to dating. It’s like good luck because women will not talk to guys who aren’t carrying an iPhone. Wild!

I switched from a Huawei flagship to an iPhone 15 Pro Max a few months ago. Although I have a lot of apps and structures, I found the switch extremely painless. I really enjoy the iPhone so far, it gives me joy to use it. I keep switching back and forth between apple and android every few years, for no reason, just curiosity and I never regretted going either way and the transfer keeps getting easier. There are people who really like to stick to "theirs" and prefer to stay with what they know/use - I just get curious about something else/new and switch systems. My hardware is chaos, next to the iPhone, I have a Samsung S9 Galaxy tab, an iPad Pro, a Macbook Air M2, a Thinkpad X1 with dual Win/Linux boot, two big beefy intel/NVIDIA PCs, one with Linux and one Windows. I use them all all the time and I never feel bothered by the "mismatch", it's wonderful :D

I just switched from iphone to Samsung s24 ultra love it for all the resons you mention

[lowkeygaming]

For people outside US like me, I can't believe that someone will stick to iphone just because of imessage.

My wife made the switch from a blackberry, iphone 4, 6, x, iphone 12 and she is very stubborn. In the beginning the attraction was a purple s24 ultra, and a tablet deal for same price as an iphone contract. Now she became the most possessive android user, ready to prove any iphone user wrong. She also adores the s-pen, like a teacher with a sharpie all the time, kind of turn me on I must say😂

As a daily Linkin Park listener, I approve the background song in the intro.

I have been using iPhone for 3 years exclusively, I got bored at the end and switched to S24 Ultra, then to S22 Ultra (to see if it's slower, it is not). Switching was a bit annoying, but at the end it worked out and all my data is now on cross platform apps. I still use Mac and iPad. My phone doesn't have to be on the same ecosystem. Yeah, losing the convenience features hurt a bit but I don't mind them anymore. All the caveats I had with Android phones before are gone. The flagships feel like flagships, even more premium than iPhone sometimes. My next phone will probably be a Pixel phone, since they're releasing it in my country soon.

Thanking your viewers is such a rare thing nowadays...I appreciate you sir! I also switched from IPhone to Z Fold 5

[bergeandtom]

I've been using Samsung Galaxy Folds since 2019, and i will never go back to a slab phone. I love it. That being said, I'm not locked in. I refuse to allow myself to become closed-minded. I just haven't found anything better yet that I trust.

[ZebedeeBoss]

Good to see you choosing based upon what you like to use and not media hype. Keep up a great channel.

S22U and S24U user here - I'm considering switching to Huawei's triple fold in 2 years when this phone is good polished.

[AndyTK]

If Apple can reduce the size of the dynamic island to match the size of Samsung's punch hole or eliminate it entirely, creating an all-screen display, I might consider switching back to an iPhone.

[rudybriskar]

I went the other way. I ran Galaxy S series phones since the original Galaxy S thru the S22 Ultra then I bought an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Within a week I was using it for my daily driver. Now I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max. 4:55

I'm an unabashed Android fanboy. Don't hate on Apple, I just think Android makes better phones. Sending this to you from my pixel 9 Pro XL and loving it

8:52 I’m glad someone finally said it about cheaper Google storage, audible and YouTube etc on Android than Apple Store
