Android vs iOS - What You NEED to Know

2017-09-14
hello everyone I'm Dimitri this is better so iOS versus Android why does it have to be always such an aggressive debate just stick to what you love right apples versus oranges which one of you is the dark side so interesting I've been using both the iPhone and Android together on a daily basis because they sort of complement each other and fill in the blanks that the other ecosystem lacks so let's talk about that and why this is a mere a conversation that needs to happen let's put our fanboy ism aside right this it's time to try something new with the k900 em mechanical keyboard by Zalman with Cale brown switches on board macro recordings and absolutely gorgeous RGB illumination with the white frame even your dog will go nuts check it out in the description below alright so the Apple Keynote is over and many Android users who realized that some of the new features that Apple is rolling out with the iOS and the new iPhone 10 and the iPhone 8 have been available on Android for over two years we're enabling the freedom of wireless charging there's four hundred fifty eight pixels per inch it's remarkable how this larger display can be packed at a phone that fits so comfortably in our hands meanwhile the screen covers 80% of the body yielding thinner bezels at the top all right new hair feeling good but let's be real neither ecosystem is perfect and we as users are very good to adopt to the compromises of either dark side so if you are potentially thinking of switching to one of these two this video is for you and I got a few surprises guess surprises along the way so I have used my iPhone 7 for 6 months on a daily basis and I have not yet gotten impatient as I did with my galaxy s7 6 months in using this device the galaxy s7 does kinda got laggy things were just not as stable or smooth as they used to be and I had to format it every three months in order to get that fresh feeling back and most recent go to Android device has been the 1+5 I love how fast it is updates have been very consistent I do love the portrait mode camera on this phone and the new rose gold color is a pretty unique addition to my smartphone collection my least favorite thing about Android has to be the inconsistencies between the devices so take example screens on sums they're warmer on others that cooler and for people like me having a calibrated and accurate screen is important because what we put out is what we want the viewer to see and that that just annoys me and so these Hardware differences between Android devices is a pretty big deal like the inverted display on the one plus five that makes a jelly effect plus the screen touch latency on the one plus five is far worse versus my galaxy s7 and even the early version on the one plus three which I'm keeping it's my favorite wamba's device doesn't have that much screen latency as the one plus five does so what's going on and that's why I love the iPhone not just a7 5s and early versions that have no touch screen latency so when you physically press the screen that interaction is instantaneous and doesn't feel there's something happening in the background that's stalling that physical touch on the screen my least favorite thing about Android is the app instability that experience sometimes so a quick example would be if I were to change the lights my hue bulbs in my studio the app would crash on me I've had that at multiple devices including my g6 on the note 8 it's little things like that that just makes me want to switch to another platform but it's very minimal and doesn't happen every time it's just that one time that you really wanted to work it just wouldn't so there you have it what's up everybody this is Danny androids biggest strength is probably their biggest weakness there are so many different manufacturers making Android devices that when the new version of Android comes out it has the latest and greatest innovations pushing mobile forward and you may not even get that on your smartphone for six months or you might not even get it at all so the uniformity on the platform is not there and I think that's its biggest biggest weakness now I can't speak for other brands but I'm pretty happy with how fast oneplus has been rolling out updates and primarily because people were pissed that some of these things were not included like stabilization in 4k video now is been added and it's pretty good and the portrait mode has gotten so good that it's becoming my primary tool for capturing product photography for social media and all of them look fantastic almost like a DSLR shot I'd say my least favorite thing about Android is that it's not iOS what I need it to be so oftentimes developers will optimize their app for iOS over Android and when I need to use those apps it can be frustrating that it doesn't work properly simply because I don't have the right phone my least favorite thing about the software is that there are still some apps that I cannot delete mm-hmm even though I will never use them mm-hmm like stocks stocks hello I'm Quinn of snazzy labs and my favorite thing about iOS has got to be the stability of the platform no it's not as exciting as Android and no it's not as customizable but the last time I had to reboot my phone because something went weird was like three years ago my favorite thing about iOS devices is not iOS it's the fact that you can get consistency between the hardware so you always are assured of having a good camera having a good calibrated screen and having good sound and AB which is something that you're honestly just can't find as easy on Android devices hey Dave 2d here so my favorite thing about iOS is probably iMessage and just the whole iMessage ecosystem a lot of my family and friends use that thing so when I don't have that thing I feel like I feel like removed from my family and friends but when I have it I feel like I'm part of the game and the thing that I love about iOS is that it is consistent and fast so it may be a simple experience but you know what you're gonna get it remains fast and you get updates on older phones so you get the new experience even if you don't buy the new phone which you can't get on Android a lot of times hi I'm Matthew Moniz and the one thing that I love about iOS is the fact that I can use 3d touch to move the cursor around anywhere on the screen I find this to be a little bit easier than tapping with your finger so 3d touch is a unique feature but I feel it's underutilized I use it to quickly access my steps counter from the health app or writing a tweet but surprisingly my most used 3d touch selections is like choosing the flashlight brightness you can also set the timer and also selecting slow motion video without entering the app first but it's also really funny how that uniformed experience is very much associated with the lack of the customization that Android seems to fulfill so well and I find it bizarre that icons are still locked for that top to bottom grid and cannot be moved otherwise hi everyone canoopsy here and my favorite thing about android has to be the sheer amount of customization my favorite feature about Android is the ability to customize my favorite thing about Android of course has to be the customization you can take a horribly ugly Android skin you have the ability to add your own launcher your own icon packs add your own widgets if you like honestly if you don't like something get rid of it and you can tailor it exactly the way you want it so it works the way that you want your system to work I would say the thing like dislike the most about Android is I know this sounds petty but the default launcher like if you put apps into a folder it's like a hole and you can look into the hole and you can see all the folders in there it just looks really messy to me I think my favorite thing about Android is the seamless integration with Google I use google applications all the time on a regular basis for work and for personal use so it's very important to me that the platform I use on my phone fully supports and integrates seamlessly with those frequently used applications I love Android but my least favorite thing about it has got to be third-party app stability I know it's not really an turrets fault but if you tried to use applications like snapchat on Android it's a disaster they just run much more stable e on iOS and of course there are many reasons why iOS gets to hate like not being able to change the resolution or settings on your camera within the default camera app widget selection is terrible you know I cannot put a visual steps counter from the health app but for some reason I can put the who's viewed my profile from LinkedIn why why is that a feature on Twitter when opening YouTube links it opens it in its own Twitter browser and then you have to go into the open in Safari tab in order to view that video in the YouTube app on Android it obviously knows that you have the YouTube app installed and opens it in there right away the way it should be sharing pictures through Instagram gives me no customization options it simply publishes the image without any tweaking tools available unless I open the app first and add the image that way on Android of course sharing a photo to Instagram means it opens up the app with the selected photo which is far more convenient my least favorite thing about iOS has to be iOS itself honesty I find it super restrictive I find it clunky to operate and honestly for me I just don't think it's well-designed I know Q the hate but that's what it is and my least favorite thing about iOS has to be notifications they used to be really easy understand very simple but now they're really complex very confusing and Apple needs to fix them as soon as possible so the notification system is by far the worst thing about iOS first none of the notifications are grouped so if you receive 51 word messages they all show up individually so it's a nightmare for socially engaged individuals imagine being part of five active Facebook chats for whatsapp groups to Twitter accounts for email addresses every morning when I wake up and have to scroll through all the little things that pop up it's just a complete nightmare not only that but once you unlock your iPhone all the notifications disappear from the lockscreen they can still be found when you unlock a device and for me having that reminder on a lock screen that the email still needs a response is a good chance that I will not forget and accidentally remove the notification with Android on the other hand everything is grouped beautifully by multiple email addresses by different Twitter accounts and each notification can still be opened and dismissed individually which is a fantastic tool for productivity it really boggles my mind that Apple engineers thought that that was the best way to handle notifications at least grouped them please as for Siri versus Google assistant aside from setting up my alarms I don't use them for anything else so both are good in their regard you just have to make sure to say the right thing set an alarm is that a ring alarm because both systems will get confused I do love the seamless approach to airdrop on the iPhone so sharing my pictures and videos wirelessly with my Mac without needing to access the cloud or connect any wires I also love the search function that you can access by swiping down it's super convenient and as a phone the vibration motor on the phone is by far the best I've experienced and I'm like on my Android I've never had to shut down my iPhone because something was not working I've never experienced an app crash and the only time I've had something lagging was on a really hot temperature with the camera when I'm swiping from the right it would just kind of get stuck like this as will happen there but that usually happens in a very warm environment and maybe like once out of every 20 times in the normal scenario and seriously my favorite thing about Android is that notification system that keeps me on track I know it has to be done in terms of responses and it also loved the massive rollout of quick charging fast charging and dash charging for oneplus for example that gets the battery that recharged super fast because recharging the iPhone is painfully slow now the introduction of the new iPhone 8 and the 8 plus seemed a little bit underwhelming despite in a wireless charging glass pack and new dual cameras with a really awesome portrait mode while the iPhone 10 looks cool but man that price point is just insane and if you have been considering buying an iPhone perhaps wait for discounts on the iPhone 7 & 7 plus or there'll be many for sale secondhand for the 7 7 plus who are trying to upgrade for the newer versions of the iPhone so now is a good time to buy and so I hope this video has been helpful in trying to understand why people love the iPhone why people love Android and why those two ecosystems are constantly clashing it's a weird relationship because they complement each other so well as I'm filling in the gaps of certain features that the other ecosystem lacks what's your favorite thing about the iPhone the interface the interface yes what do you mean I like that it's really simple there isn't a thousand things on it there's just as much stuff that I want then you courser avoid pro gaming headset is comfortable stylish in different colors delivers fantastic wireless performance even for competitive gaming with an all-new microphone for clear communications check out the void Pro Wireless or wired in the description below so let me know what's your favorite feature about the ecosystem
