Controversial Topic I know, what's your take? 😂

I think usb-c is another huge win for Android. being able to charge everything from laptop to phone to speaker with the same cable is game changing

This was the longest Apple commercial I've ever seen 😂

That was a fun video having both of you in there as I watch both your videos. The comparisons and the camaraderie was very enjoyable but the conversation itself was entertaining and informative. It’s funny how I watch so many comparisons about phones I’ve never owned and probably never will and still find them informative and enjoyable. It’s almost like watching a game between two sports teams and I really don’t care who wins but I just enjoy the entertainment, between the two of you and a few others I’ve learned a lot and although I’m certainly not a techhead, I’m not ignorant anymore either lol. You guys keep making the wonderful videos and I will keep watching. You both have a friend in Columbus Ohio :-)!

In my opinion, it isn't a question of who is the best. It's about who is the best FOR YOU. For example, for companies which need everything to work seamlessly, IOS is better. But for people who want more customisation and features, Android is better. It is also a manner of preference.

I'm surprised by the environmental score going to Apple. Apple phones while made from recycled materials are made in such a way that makes repairs very difficult compared to most Android phones. One could argue that Apple's poor repairability contributes more to e-waste than Androids. Surprised that didn't get a mention.

Man we need “Tech Smosh” more than ever after this with you two.

Marque's thinking is just unmatched sometimes. You feel "oh this is a new way of thinking". Very good video.

[asadfarraj]

A negative point on the eco-friendliness of Apple is that they are strongly anti-repair. They make it near impossible to repair, even with the Apple care program. It's just to silence the Right to Repair movement.

Edit: By the Apple care I meant that Self repair service they launched. I'm talking about that. You don't need to remind me on every one of the 50 comments.

I think calling it "Android" vs "iPhone" is inherently problematic as Android should be against "iOS" since Android is NOT a phone, but Android is an operating system applied to thousands of phones every year and an iPhone is the phone exclusively able to use iOS. The closest comparison would be iPhone to Pixel since Pixel is produced by google directly. The big thing that Android wins in is the variables of choice that iOS doesn't have. If I can only afford a low end android, I can get one and update later to a flagship one.

Man I tell you, of all the collabs on YouTube this one was by far the most enjoyable to watch. I wish you guys did more stuff together.

This one felt weirdly biased for you guys. There were certain times when iPhone won despite being the same or worse. For example, MKBHD said that the ROG phone had a better battery at 4:00 and he noted that a lot of android phones have incredible charging compared to the iPhone's "decent" charging. Despite this, it wins the point. For another example, Mrwhosetheboss says that for him, Android wins for the camera section, yet iPhone got the point instead of it being a tie. One more weird example is how in the eco-consciousness section, it's noted that the fair phone blows the iPhone out of the water yet iPhone still gets the point. Mrwhostheboss says that this is because he wants to compare flagship to flagship and that can be a fair point. But if you use that logic, the display section shouldn't be a draw because both parties agreed that iPhone screens are behind Samsung.

Edit : reading the below comment taught me that some of you don't know where the bias is or what the problem i'm pointing out is.

The problem is not that Android lost or that it was a close fight. iPhones are absolutely amazing and they deserve credit for that.

Some of you have argued that it won so much because it was compared to all android phones and not just the best ones. If that was the case, that would be fair but The problem is that they don't stick to that perspective. There are MULTIPLE times where they shift to putting the iPhone against only a few Androids (like the eco consciousness section) in order to give it the win (and multiple times where it wins because its agreed to be generally better than most Androids despite being worse than the best in class androids).

Shifting the comparison around to make one side more favorable is clear bias regardless of what side it's done for.

14:03 still can’t change your icons on ios without a dumb banner every time you open an app

[insanitygamer_vibing]

24 hours without charge is impressive to these guys.

*looks at android motorola thats been on 15% battery for three days*

[Nope]

My take to this is-
In US the best phone is iOS just because everyone uses it. So that's why MKBHD's opinion was more based on that.
However outside US markets, Android has the main market. So it's not a minority in many of the categories.

[ADecametre]

I think Android should have got more than 2.5 points, but most of these categories are very close and subjective and depend on how you see it.
iOS is more reliable, Android is more customizable. But both are constantly improving and copying each other. At the end of the day, it's all about preference.

What did you guys smoke before making this video? 😂

Just remember this..when you buy an iphone its not yours..
