Let me guess..the answer is that they are both good in their own way.

I'm happy he reiterated the "in the US" part. Here in Spain nobody uses Facetime or iMessage as lots of people have Androids so it's the iPhone users the ones that have to adapt to communicate with everyone else.

As a long term android user, I have never understood the "ios is simple to understand and use" argument. Any iphone that has ever been handed to me has been like trying to read ancient greek. It does not feel intuitive at all

If you use Apple, you use Apple. If you use Android you use anything except for Apple.

File management system is what has kept me on Android for over a decade. The ease of file organisation and file sharing with a PC is what I like on Android.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention APKs during the apps section. The ability to download basically any app you want, even if it has been removed from the play store has always been an advantage for android.

Would've been nice to see "price" category as well, right after "ecosystem", cause it really adds up... Love the video man!

[es.ech.]

When you said "think about your 5 closest friends" i realised there's no one.

The lighting split on both sides of the room for the blue bubble/green bubble is absolutely genius. That's a lovely detail amongst many

[Bobby]

Key factors to consider, for me personally are 1. Affordability 2. Ease of repair

[Sewagememes]

He just said focus modes are a feature on iPhone and not android when it was first on android

[Kwerkeeeee]

iPhone: is a good phone
Android: Super computer in your pocket

I noticed you didn't mention sideloading in your discussion about apps, and it's a pretty big deal for some folks. You know, the open source community often cooks up some fantastic apps that can sometimes outshine the originals. On Android, you've got the freedom to choose whether you want to install them or not, but on iOS, you're kind of stuck with what Apple gives you. For many Android users, third-party apps are a big deal, and I think it's worth mentioning because it can be a game-changer.

Something that was ignored for the APPS section is that android gives you the advantage to use older versions of apps (in case the newer versions are just bad or not for you), you can also patch or install custom versions of many apps like the now dead youtube vanced or versions of certain apps that give you more features or just adblockers, that is a huge huge factor, also the ease to emulate videogames SPECIALLY on foldable phones.

Edit: I'll add a list of things people have pointed out in the comments + what I already said
1.- old versions of apps and modded versions of apps (YouTube Vanced, adless instagram, yt music Vanced, etc)
2.- access to apps not available in certain counties or the store at all (Japanese games for example, we know your pain proseka players)
3.- Emulation in general is really good, specially if you have a tablet or folding phone
4.- torrent downloads

The way I started dying as soon as he said "totally totally coming" 😂 14:24

[tommyvercetti]

I don't why but value for money/pricing wasn't a category considered here, considering the fact that it would be an important factor for a lot of people...and we all know which side would have won that.

[austinpigza]

For apps, I would have mentioned the ease of Android having the ability to download and install APK files right on the phone for "un-supported" apps without sideloading. It opens things up a lot, and definitely gives Android a leg up in my opinion.

[Wilbrown]

One of the things missed in the apps section is the ability to side load apps on Android phones. The iOS app store is notoriously limiting. You can put whatever you want on your Android

[TheTattorack]

I didn't care much for iPhone, but I only started really hating it when I was asked one time to move some photos off an iPhone onto a laptop.
If it were an Android, I'd simply connect via USB, navigate to DCIM, drag and drop the photos, and done.
Not with the iPhone. You MUST use iTunes. You MUST use the sync function. And since the person didn't have an account of any kind with Apple, there was a serious threat that creating an account and having the iPhone sync would wipe the photos away.
If I can't simply drag and drop some photos from a phone then the ease of use kinda goes into the toilet.
The Apple ecosystem, its philosophy of end-to-end servicing, is all fine and dandy right up to the point you want to just step slightly in another direction. I still remember reading about an argument between Jobs and Wozniak; Jobs wanted all their Apple computers use a special Apple designed printer connector, Wozniak argued that people just wanted to connect the printers they already had with the standard that everybody was already familiar with. Jobs wouldn't have it.

Repairability is an important aspect that I think should have been included. Apple devices are ridiculous when it comes to repairs. We drop our phones every now and then and this bit is quite important.
