Yes, Apple and iPhone = iOS but we do admire a few things going on over there...plus it was only fair to pick out a few things Android needs to learn from iOS.

The reason why the iPhone has more accessories is because there is only one brand using iOS, whereas there are all sorts of phone shapes and sizes on the Android side.

Despite being around this long, it still feels like Android, and especially Pixel, is more of a community of people who are passionate about the platform, whereas iOS/iPhone is more a product for the masses

I love my Pixel, but my 13 Pro Max is a beast! I’ve only used 100% battery one time since launch. I consistently get 13-15 hours of SoT with close to two days on a single charge.

I recently tried the iPhone after years on android, i think the apps are smoother & better optimised the frustration of not being able to do simple customisation killed me . I bought a pixel 6a & could not be happier . Google assistant kills siri, i have a pixelbook go & they work seamlessly with each other . Apple is undoubtedly a very very good system but Google is closing the gap IMHO . The privacy debate is a false narrative, if anyone thinks Apple is some sort of bastion of privacy well i can`t help you 😁. The recent pixel lineup is impressive, i hate face ID & most of the iPhones do not give you a choice in this area. I tried the walled garden & i liked it but not enough to keep me as a customer . The price is also a big factor & the inevitable feeling that all things Apple is taking over, earbuds, laptop etc, i like choice & some semblance of freedom. These are tools we use to do a job & for me i got the feeling i was not in charge of my own device . It comes down to what you are happy with & android is my choice .

In terms of hardware quality, iphones are amazing! Hands down, the best build quality you can buy. But the software is disappointing. I've had a recent experience with an iphone 13 pro and iOS 16 was quite a frustrating adventure. From bugs, glitches, quirks, poor notification management, very limited keyboard functionality, inconsistent navigation gestures, i ran into more issues than on any android device I've used. I tried to like it, i even put extra effort into this but in the end, iOS feels like a very basic OS, that never really seems to feel as polished as people claim.

I used to be die hard Nexus and Pixel fan, and year ago I bought iPhone just to see how is it. I stayed with Apple since then. Also, I would mention in the video about haptic engine. Apple just destroys any Android device when it comes to its haptics. I just love the feel of vibrations on any iPhone, it feels very precise and strong.

I think the latest Google Pixel smartphones are now a solid alternative to the iPhones.

I used to be an Android user, switched to iPhones 9 years ago and never looked back and never will. iOS updates is the main reason why I stayed. Consistent in every model, long term support and easy to use.

Good video and I have both an iPhone 13 and a pixel seven. Yeah the iPhone definitely has some positives but I got a say there are three areas where the pixel phone is way ahead …the voice to typing and some of the call features and also the record feature. I guess if these are an important to you, maybe you go with an iPhone but there’s definitely some reasons the pixel is the better phone.

I like android over ios but yes the third party options for iphones and design have always captured my attention

I would like to offer a different perspective. This Android vs. Apple argument is outdated and influencers pushing this really don't understand what they are talking about. This narrative has caused a pointless out of hand dispute between the consumers. The negativity has served the content creators well. Let me explain.

The Android platform is just a component like a Samsung display. Samsung, Apple & Google use Samsung displays. But each company alters that component to their needs to give users their take on a smartphone experience. The Android component is used in more than smartphones, tablets and Chromebooks. It is used in a vast amount of devices across the global: scales, asset tracking, POS, medical devices, etc. It is because of this array of uses that it makes Android more complex for developers to support updates and support updates long term.

Apple offers variants of iOS based on iPhone and iPad. But they only have to worry about themselves. Nobody's knocking Apple for the lack of multitasking on iPhone that is available on iPad. Apple did a great job marketing their platform. They established a customer knowledge base that has been passed down by the consumers. They also are the only builder and user of the iOS platform. This doesn't make their platform better. It was just smart that it makes it simple for developers to make apps versus the hundreds of Android manufacturers out there.

Android apps are tweaked by the manufacturers. Like Samsung has done with many apps made for the Z Fold and social media apps. For the Pixel line, Google Phone app offers Google's exclusive A.I. experience with call screening, call hold and providing a visual menu experience when calling into a company IVR.

Generalizing the Android platform allowed those of us who sold iPhones an opportunity to poke weakness at low caliber Android devices and their manufacturers failure to support them. Also add that carriers wanted the ability to brand the devices with company launcher and monetize bloatware. We knew that direct attacks towards the top Android flagships would be difficult or impossible to overcome. The branding and generalizing of Android worked in Apple's favor. Most of the weaknesses mentioned are not reflective of the Android experience with a Samsung flagship or Google Pixel device.

Since Google started off with Android as an open source platform with no interest in making smartphones, it was up to all of the other manufacturers to promote their devices to win the mindshare of the consumers. Other than Samsung and Google, no other "Android" manufacturer markets their devices well. This has created an uphill battle for them create the following that Apple has. The attention for Android is divided between hundred of manufacturers across the globe.

But hey. Y'all made some great videos that will generate a lot of views and keep the public divided. Attention is the new currency! 😆

As an Android user you've put in some questionable things yet left out the real advantages of iOS.
The audio latency is simply amazing(in pro audio apps), garageband exists, and the contextual animations of the system are great.

most of the things are questionable at best.
Imessages is not an advantage it's just a platform.

[rahuljayachandran]

I also prefer Android over iOS but have to say that the iphones are so buttery smooth-the only phones that come close to that smoothness is Pixel 7 pro and the S22 Ultra-So that's saying

[mikemcclure]

I think in 2023 the processors on the newest devices still don’t match super old iPhones . In order for android to control even that on numbers only they’d have to control the entire experience like  does which means probably a locked down experience

I switched to android after 5 years on iphone... I prefer the Android

Pixel is the best for the $ hands down. Apple has always been out for the $. They haven't changed. Google listens to the users.

where can i find this wallpaper from the first video from the beginning

You touched on how apps work better on iOS but you didnt mention how bad video calls are on android. If you call anyone on discord, whatsapp or snap while on android what they see is 240p 10 FPS. Atleast if you have a newer phone android phone. On an iphone the video quality while calling is excellent.

[Scribz]

Also find it funny that while talking about processor speed, Chrome opens faster on the Android (slow the speed down to 0.25x if you don't believe me). Then other than Chrome the video does nothing to actually compare as all three phones are using different apps.
As for the benchmarks, I'll say the same thing that iPhone users said for years when Android crushed Apple in the benchmarks "benchmarks don't mean anything"
