  2. I have both ecosystems and I must say my apple experience for around 12 years have been terrible… I love my android devices a lot more.. apple expensive devices are mostly for status but it's a status I could do without, but then again here in the Caribbean we don't have as much people with mental disabilities to where they care about bubble colors. So it's easier to be a normal human being here, also the other thing is neither apple nor android pay my for using their products so people remember when you fight each other about brands, we don't win/benefit.. the billion dollar companies do and we give them free publicity..

  3. I have to use an iPhone for work and iOS just sucks as a user experience. It's just not intuitive to me. The hardware may be good, although the phones always seem top heavy and unbalanced, but the usability is so archaic.

    Google Pixel has some awesome quality of life features that I just can't live without anymore.

  4. The one thing rarely mentioned by reviewers or comparison sights, is accessibility. Although Samsung and Android have made massive strides forward in this field in recent years, they are still light years behind Apple’s accessibility features. I guess because Apple use and develop their own hardware and software, their accessibility package works as smoothly and seamlessly as any of their other features.

    You mentioned the convenience of having access to Apple stores. You can also get Apple assistance over the phone.

    So chances are that if you purchase an Android device, you’ll take out a contract with your network provider, purchase fro Argos, Curries, John Lewis or a generalised phone shop. Where as Apple fans can deal directly with Apple. Yes, I’m an Apple fanboy. My wife and son both have IPhones. My 13 year old daughter prefers Android, to quote her:- “iPhones annoy me”. I guess this is linked to peer pressure at school. So I’m a regular visitor to my Apple Store. I’ve recently upgraded my phone to the 16 Pro Max. My wife’s phone to the 16 Plus and my son’s phone to the 16e. I witnessed outstanding service and customer support with each visit, regardless of how busy they were.

    Now I’ve recently upgraded my daughter’s phone to a mid range Samsung. I purchased it from my local Tesco mobile store, because they were by far the cheapest. I then had to take that new phone, my daughter’s old phone and her O2 SIM card to the O2 store to have them transfer the data across from her old phone and sim card, to her new phone. The O2 store told me, the transfer would take up to 24 hours, which would have been a bit of a bummer, but it happened after only 5 hours. Had my daughter liked iPhones the transition would have been seamless.

    When I upgraded those iPhones, I was pleasantly surprised by the trade in deals Apple offered me. Yes, maybe I could have got a bit more money selling them privately, but trading in with Apple was hassle free. It transpires my daughter’s old Android phone had no resale value. The O2 store did offer to recycle it.

    Ultimately your choice of smartphone is going to be determined by your preferred OS. But, there is a lot more to Apple devices than the device itself and its OS.

  5. iPhone is so disgusting on the limitations especially file management… it’s terrible on the iPhone. Even the face unlock that’s impossible to fix with no fingerprint on iPhone 12. I find myself going back to my tecno camon18 to d basic things.

  6. The iPhone is just for people who just want something thats stylish, effortlessly elegant, and "just kinda works", like for a young chill guy who just wants a solid phone. Androids on the other hand are for people who want to do more stuff with their phones, who want to experiment with it, who want to know exactly whats going on with it, who kind of want to be geeks about it. Thats basically what I feel the difference between the two is.

  7. As if anyone chooses an iPhone or an Android phone by which one is better at any given moment.

    You either use an iPhone or an Android.

    I didn't even need to watch the video to save 14 minutes of my life.

  8. Try google tv android tv microwave washing machine rumba android tags sounds phones like the pixel 8 in the samsung s25 ultra the oppo find 3 flip invincible nokia😅 any can also support microsoft and also do you know you can turn your samsung into a pc about about air conditioners refrigerator ac basically anything that you need all of the companies that are part of the android make those products i know yeah i also forgot samsung is making helicopters and also smart glasses and cylinder will be vr

  9. I prefer the ios operating system that comes with only one Apple company and one logo. Bitten apple. The Bible (Christian book). Android seems more for India, China, Israel, Pakistan United State of Arabia etc.👽👽👽
