What's up guys i'm ben from authentic and I've been on Android for years even way back when the g1 first came out
That's where Android all began. I've tinkered with iPhone and iOS here and there over the years
I have had an iPad Mini, but I've never stuck with iPhone as a daily driver
Well, the new iPhone 10s came up. I picked one up for the dirty penny of
$1,250 I officially switched and put my sim into the iPhone
To use it as my daily driver to stick it out. As long as I could see how long I could last
Well, it's been three weeks now, and yes
There are some things that I've come around to love but man there are just so many
quirks and complaints and wishlist items I have I can't stand that iOS system and I just have to switch back to an
Android so Before we jump into the complaints
let's cover what I phone and iOS does really well first iPhone at device their hardware and
Specifically that camera man. Oh man, it is so nice as many people point out
It better look and feel premium since you're paying a top dollar which granted that is very true that camera system at 4k 60fps
HDR is produce some really beautiful shots, which I've used in my Instagram and YouTube content over the weeks. The camera is amazing
transferring photos and videos back and forth between my iMac and the iPhone
It's so seamless with airdrop same goes with texting from a computer. Now these things are possible from an Android and iMac
It's just not built in and remember. I don't hate Apple
I've had IMAX and Mac books for years and I really enjoyed the Mac OS system
However, it's the iOS system. That just irks me
This is honestly one of the key reasons why people stick with iPhone because of that whole Apple ecosystem
And how well it works with each other, right?
Unfortunately, once they get you through the door, you're locked in pretty tight the display even though I hate that notch
It really has a gorgeous HDR display
It gets super bright and vibrant has this fantastic
ambient light sensor with smooth auto white balance and brightness levels the dual speakers actually sound pretty good and semi
Well-rounded for one being downward face. I
Love that physical mute switch and huge kudos to oneplus for adopting the same idea, but then the other guys haven't caught on
Yeah
I'm not sure why face unlock seems pretty fast and I sort of like that
DoubleTap power button to face ID to download an app but then on a side note is there seriously no way to disable
The locking down of even free apps. I couldn't find that anywhere the gestures and swipes man
Those animations are super smooth. And even though Android is catching up in some areas
That's what Apple is known for right elegant beautiful design and easy way to navigate
swiping through apps I found even the animations like in Google Maps way nicer in iOS
Android does it make sense?
Just watch as I flick this picture away either in this direction or over here
These Pleasant little animations are sometimes lost over on Android side
This measuring app with augmented reality is super slick
I found myself using it all the time the 3d touch on quick toggles like the flashlight dimmer and quick timer are super slick
I love the built-in screen recorder app. I've used that a ton. I can't believe Android doesn't have this yet. Okay
Okay, so that's enough positives
let's jump into the negatives my wishlist items and why I have to switch back to
Android and let me acknowledge right off the bat Android has been far from perfect over the years
They've had some rough beginnings laggy devices sort of ugly design
But they've come a far away
And I sort of feel bad because I feel like a lot of people out there tried Android in their early years
Got a bad taste in their mouth went to iPhone and they've been stuck there ever since first things first
Let's talk about the homescreen in 100 years of iPhone. They seriously haven't changed this which is mind-blowing
I can't resize the icons. I can't have blank spaces no more than four apps in the bottom. Tray. The list goes on
I want my Android home launcher back there. I can have tons of wide-open space even blank pages
I can have an app drawer where all my apps live
But then give me a home screen where I place just my favorite apps that I access most often and let me make the eye
I'm super tiny if I want to squeeze a million on screen and then remove the text plus add
Custom widgets right there at my fingertips
Like a scrolling calendar feed or even my smart things quick routines fast and instant to tap
There's quick dialer and Evernote gmail feed weather forecasts
The amount of widgets right there on the home screen is unlimited with a custom home launcher like I'm using Nova
There's almost infinite amount of customization and design choices. Just look at this gestures and inputs
I can swipe down anywhere on the home screen and
Expand the quick settings swipe up reveals my app drawer double tap opens Google now. It's so nice and I miss these things
I just love these tiny little
efficiencies throughout my daily phone usage that I've come to love and miss on an iPhone the Android
Notification tray just feels faster and better organized
It's easier to swipe notifications away or quick respond
if I want clear all is easy peasy and straightforward on the iPhone when I hit clear all only
sometimes they all get cleared but then other times a few are left behind I've tried to figure this out and it seems kind of
Confusing I miss my google assistant so much and especially using that
Okg hot word when the phone screen is off and across the room
I use that like 5 to 20 times every day and speaking of screen off. This is an OLED display, right?
Why don't they offer us always-on screen? That's sort of surd. And again iPhone users
Probably don't know what they're missing out on but this always-on screen with date time battery life notifications
It's so nice to have you can set it on the table hands-free and quick glance so nice
Let's quick cover camera user interface. I really dislike this scrolling through from photo video time-lapse
It's pretty inefficient now sadly pixel and a few others are switching over to this design
I'm not sure why but fortunately there's others like the LG
Lineup where you can photo or video from the same screen or single tap and change all your camera modes and settings
It's so nice another camera
example that literally happens to me every other day if I'm filming on the iPhone 4k 30
Let's say and I need to quick switch over to 4k 60. That's not a quick toggle an app like you'd expect
Instead. I have to jump home then settings then slide way down to camera then record video then toggle the resolution and frame rates and
Then switch back to the camera app. This just doesn't make sense
I should be able to quickly and efficiently toggle these sort of settings in the camera app
And this is a constant theme under settings
Why do I always have to go back to the main menu settings for granular app settings?
These should all live under that apps. Umbrella. Here's a funny one. Is there seriously?
No way to clear all recent apps you have to one by one flick them away
Android has had this for years so we could go on and on about the pros and cons of each side
but I think I just missed that power and
customization on that Android ecosystem
By all means Apple and iPhone that used to really innovate and push the bounds
They set the bar way high back in the day, but then over years and years
I'm not sure why maybe complacency Android caught up and then pass them by in my opinion
Let's say you're on a tight budget and you need a smart phone
Well, you could go out and buy an okay Android device for like one or two hundred bucks
I'm thinking that moto lineup and many other options or if you want a
Flagship top to your best of the best specs and features out there
well
Then you could spend a thousand bucks plus on a galaxy or a pixel and then there's limitless options in between
Again, that constant theme is repeated
Open limitless customization and freedom on the Android side iPhone iOS is just you locked down for me now
Yes, the Mac and iPhone and Apple ecosystem. They work very well together
But if you want to explore outside those bounds things are gonna get a little rough for you now
I'm not into judging blue or green chat bubbles, you choose whatever works best for you. Let's leave this an open discussion
I want to hear your thoughts down in the comments. Do you love iPhone or Android and give me a reasons?
Why?
have you ever switched from one to the other and then did you have to switch back or what were your thoughts the beauty and
Fun and all this tech is that it could change like that
let's see what the future holds if you're new around here and you want to see where I
My sim into next maybe the v40 or the sixty or something else consider subscribing for more tech videos posted every single week
Until next time let's live
