Android vs iOS: Sizzling debate with LinusTechTips!

2015-06-19
okay so this is gonna be something a little different I'm gonna let John kind of explain the premise because I had him on when show like two months ago it was way too long and we were like yeah we need to do a collab and then I was traveling and then he had some goofball Apple event he had to something or whatever I wasn't there um now we're finally doing it we are gonna have the ultimate debate iOS versus Android but John how's it gonna work all right so we're gonna do this we're gonna make this fun here's what we're gonna do so it's about against the two months since I was on Linus's show we want to debate iOS versus Android but we figure instead of one of us picking aside we're gonna do a two fav style and flip a coin for who's going to get what side and if you want to watch my part obviously watch it on on my channel if you want to watch the Linus's part hit the link down below and go watch it on his channel she can get a better sense of you know what he's got to say and we can run through everything together so of course my video is going to have all John's stuff linked below as well we're doing this live folks all right heads as iOS tails is Android and we're flipping for my topic we are flipping for your for for your topic are you ready yeah all right we're flipping for you're losing topic I should say tails look a mix-up you are going to be on the losing side of Android and I am going to talk about the glory that is iOS all right well um so I will give the microphone to you and tell me why somebody they're picking a phone should pick Android and not even look at the beautifully crafted workmanship that comes out of Cupertino all right well we're going to start right off with the beautifully crafted workmanship which is a big load of bollocks right off the hop here because Android has a customizable experience so you're not locked into well gee what if I actually wanted more than just a five by four grid of icons on my home screens that I can swipe to and from just like this and nothing other than that with Android you can change up your launcher or you can throw an aviate launcher on there i mean i OS did you see Tim Cook on stage talking I don't even remember who it was it was some some guy from Apple doesn't really matter talking about how now when you wake up in the morning you can fire up your meditation app contextually from the lock screen how is that a feature there's two things you can launch from the lock screen you can launch your camera which by the way on my Android device is as simple as wiggling whether it's locked or not walked what wow oh so fast so amazing what innovation and you can launch your contextually you know sensitive app which who knows if it's going to be right what if I don't want to meditate that morning what if I want to check my email what if it's going to wreck my meditation that I can't see my email before I meditate is that innovation on the ILS side so part of me feels like we should be doing this epic Rap Battles of History style and just like drop the mic jab yeah going to do it like like like Tim Cook I could they put some gray in my hair and do it this is going to be a really easy slam dunk debate so you know you said it was so cool you could twist your Android phone to launch it what if you pick up another Android phone trying to us to launch it is it going to do it nope because you my friend have too much fragmentation maybe one phone doesn't maybe another phone doesn't let's say you upgrade from your last generation Moto X to a new Nexus 6 for example you're like oh great I know how this is going to work you do not know how that's going to work you gotta learn something brand new with every version of Android maybe you're running something that was two years ago operating systems are not always going to be the same stories and get the same experience on your devices let's say you're stuck on a galaxy s5 for example galaxy s4 you're very unlikely ever going to have the latest at Google has to offer which means you are like wide open legs spread waiting for viruses I mean you just just come come at me Trojans come just just just give it to me all you're looking at an open source OS which means there are open source problems customization always sounds great in theory in reality your experience is not going to be the same yeah you can customize how if we're going to go through and actually download OS is going to tweak going to tweak skins most people that get a phones are out into the perhaps aside use the out-of-the-box experience a lebackes experience on iOS is so easy and so seamless and that's the beauty of Apple provides and let's take that out of the equation completely say you disagree app experience so much simpler apps are designed for iOS to work across all iOS devices you pick up an Android phone your app experience might be incredibly far off don't even get me started on the tablet experience there are not that many tablet apps available for for Android you get apps are designed for iOS and beyond that you're getting exit Lee crafted hardware you know what you're going to be getting hardware with with Android maybe you're gonna get something from Huawei that's made of plastic maybe I get something from Samsung that uses a glass you don't know the experience is never going to be consistent maybe like Android from one phone you might hate it the next generation apple offers consistencies you know what you're getting you know it's going to work and they also offer an ecosystem a seamless ecosystem that's going to work you're going to have continuity to answer your phone calls from your tablet they just make it simpler and simpler my friends it's better so I heard a whole lot of Apple fanboying over there I didn't hear any valid points so point number one that you brought up is that oh you know the you know feature that blah blah blah might not work on another Android phone what if you have a galaxy s5 and some you know what how excited were the Apple fanboys when Apple started putting accelerometers and gyroscopes in their phone they were like oh my god now it has a compass did they complain did they complain that you know oh now I don't understand how to use this compass this is so confusing you know what they probably did because their Apple fanboys that is why the argument for a simple pick it up and use it experience wow this is just like my last phone what tremendous innovation that's what you get on the Apple side you get the same damn experience every single time and you get a last gen experience anyway because they're innovating so much slower the industry went okay we're gonna have and you know what hasn't always been that way there was a time when Apple actually seemed to give a crap about releasing a technologically advanced phone the iPhone or great example high screen pixel density fantastic how long did it take them to make a reasonable sized iPhone after that they're like oh look we added an extra row of icons it all comes back to the icons extra row of icons Wow look so amazing and then finally years after the release of the Galaxy Note they acknowledge people's desire for larger phones and then they missed the point entirely the point of the larger phone is the more tablet like large battery experience with which quite frankly Apple has their head stuck so far up their asses about delivering a long battery life experience that I don't think they're ever going to get it they're just going to keep making it better and keep making it so that you have to DPS somewhere which let's face it most Apple users are going to have to do what actually figure out where they're going today no they need their phone to tell them that you're going to run it about every halfway through the day you're going to be carrying around half a dozen stupid battery banks in your pocket and what good do your fancy shiny by the way more expensive apps do you if your phone is dead I mean so what I'm hearing from you is that being first is better if that was true how's your a new windows mobile phone working out that you've been using we'd all be using Windows mobile phones first to come out was always better I would rather have some that's going to work and work well then be a beta tester for some new technology that's so how was Google Wallet when first came out everybody use it immediately no Apple fine-tuned what they needed to do and they got that right when Apple Wallet finally came out and Apple pay came out so now you can actually use the technology instead of just having it there and be like look what we can do and you argument that phones are going to die I would argue that the 6 plus battery life is amongst the best phone battery life out there and you don't need fancy power saving mode that turns the screen off and limits functionality because the battery is actually going to last you at going into question whether or not Apple fans can navigate using GPS I mean that's just seems petty at this point and invoking the fanboy name because people prefer one over the other you know that silly commenters do it and you all 'we say don't pick sides the side you pick though I'm going to say it right here is wrong okay so I have to address being first to market not necessarily being better I don't think either of us could enter this debate and even managed to defend Windows Phone in fact that might have been hilarious we should have had a three sided coin with one of them being Windows Phone and that side should have just said like the bitch of the argument on it because you were going to get owned regardless but like what I think you have to agree about is Apple prides itself on being innovative and quite frankly nothing they showed off at WDC was innovative in fact they even made me look stupid because I thought their window snapping feature one of the huge complaints I had about OS 10 was poor window management I thought that exposing the rest of your windows to pop up the other side was innovative turns out that's been in the Windows 10 preview all this time so that's apples fault clearly that I didn't know that so what I'm hearing is you not wanting to talk about iOS versus Android talk about another topic because you know that you've lost if you thought WWDC was boring we're at Google i/o that I was almost fell asleep i didint making jokes that I had to pee the whole time on Twitter because I was so boring they were talking about you know what's exciting let's spend 45 minutes talking about AP is nothing sexier than that 45 minutes talking about AP is that's basically all Apple did that's the nci's Apple Daddy if we're gonna talk comp that is all oh oh no no Apple run okay Drake was there the weekend was there they had sense of humor about themselves who cares if Drake is there okay hold on a second Oaxaca go on UTIs for a sec you're in Canada everybody loves king of Drake and gather right innovation is that you can make standalone apps for the I watch whose screen doesn't even turn on unless you do a gesture that's that's innovation Google where has our excuse me Android wear whatever it doesn't matter Google's Android wear has had apps running directly off of the device since ages ago and you should probably say yeah they've had apps running directly off the watch from ages ago but only running off the watch half today because then the battery's gonna die I think you you know what this breaks it down for me does your Android phone that you bought did it come with an anti-virus software installed on it it doesn't need to I have never had my virus most Android phones come pre-installed with antivirus should tell you absolutely everything maybe on iOS that I'll give you you can't customize you can would it's your home screen I think that that's a big flaw in the OS but Lisa I know when I put in my bank information into my phone then it's going to stay on my phone and not end up in somebody else's database somewhere else yeah that's what you think smart guy I'm sure the NSA has got it figured out in your American so you're compromised regardless and what you're gonna play that card oh it's the NSA big scary we're talking about OS is here iOS is more secure than Android every day of the week every day of the year you're to more secure operating system okay so you're gonna pull up that stupid Windows Phone low-blow fine then why don't you go use blackberry smart guy what whoa whoa whoa don't get hasty hold on a second ball of the Sun don't get hasty now now that's not necessary I've Rosetta gasp we're done let the audience decide young who lured the audience decide so I think you've clearly run out of ways to defend apples shiny phones that only have one eye climbeth all day Italy yeah buttons because the OS is elegant you need to throw a ton of buttons on there do what you need to do the OS is elegant you know what's elegant double tapping the home button to bring down the the one handed mode and move all your icons down because they can't build a UI that's actually optimized for the size of their phone and on that note I want to leave it up to you guys the audience to tell us who you thought won leave a like on my video which is linked in John's video description and leave a like on Jon's video which is linked in my video description to let us know who you thought won the iOS versus Android debate and if you would like to see this format returned drop comment under the videos and maybe even suggest some topics because I certainly had some fun making this videos are a blast - thank you and come vote on my side for the more elegant OS and the better hardware so that's how you're gonna play it you're gonna act all you're gonna act all gracious you're gonna find you for participating I am baking you and then with your fancy pants xik wireless touch sensitive headphones over there you're gonna tell people to vote for you well I'm gonna tell people don't vote for a phony thanks for watching see you guys next time bye guys
