IPhone vs Android ..../ IOS vs Android which is better for you

So last year we went ahead and talked about iOS versus Android of last year

Now I will tell you if you own an Android phone, you own an iPhone, or if you own an iOS device like this one you can't go wrong with either one they have a lot of features.

They have a lot of capabilities and I will say there's a lot more similarity nowadays than there have been like you.

Now years and years before now I will tell you starting with the outside I do have the pixel 7 here and I do have the iPhone 14 here I figured these two would be kind of the closest ones to kind of compare to one another so I do want to start with you know UI and everything like that so one thing I've liked a lot with Android 13, for the most part, are you know the UI has been staying pretty consistent but there is a lot of customizability that

we have it in stock in Android so you can

always hold down the display like

this and you can always get inside of

your home settings and you can customize

a lot of cool things that we have

within our, you know Android device which

is cool we also have you know just

standard stuff that we can change like

our wallpaper and style are now Android 13

didn't change anything like this

I'm looking forward to this year even with

Android 14 coming out I do think there are

going to be one major thing Google is going to change and that is the lock screen we'll talk about that in a second but here you can see you have a few customizable things and I will tell you you have more things to change overall on your phone on an Android device than on an iPhone but I do think Google did a good job with this version of Android you know you can change the color scheme here and there you can change to basic colors if you want to if you just want one consistent color and you can enable the Dark theme you can do

themed icons as well which is cool so this I would say from a UI standpoint we all know the features in the Play Store and whatnot but I do think the customizability from an Android phone has consistently been better and better I would say throughout The life of an Android phone but what I would say is with an iPhone with iOS 16 the update we got last year and maybe going on to this year with iOS 17 although we can't customize our home screen as much as Androids like we can't change the colors of things we can add widgets and whatnot and maybe theme our icons you know not natively using serious shortcuts.

There is one major change that Apple ended up bringing with I was 16 that I think Android is going to bring with this year and that is actually with the lock screen we now have the ability of customizing our lock screen on our iPhone which is very cool now one UI has this Samsung has this unfortunately with stock Android with Google we do not have this within Android 13 so if I hold it down here you can see there's just nothing to customize like how there is on Samsung and even on their settings application there isn't really anything like this so that has been something that's kind of notoriously been a little sad to me if we go and type in lock screen you can see there may be like some passcode option thing but it's not going to be what exactly what you're thinking you can text a lock screen you can do some other things double line clock but there's not like a customizable panel like we have so we can click customize we can choose our lock screen like this and we can add a widget to our lock screen we can do all sorts of things now I think there might be a way to like I don't even think it's a way to add applications that I think about it on the bottom either so that in and of itself I think is a pretty big change in a pretty big advantage that you're having on something like stock Android than on iOS so that has been something like I said before that I've noticed so from the UI and the editing capability of your whole entire phone that might be something that will you know kind of irk you a little bit on Android although you can still customize a lot of stuff and there's probably an application you can download to come by the customize your lock screen you are getting that type of capability on iOS so that has been something that we did we couldn't talk about last year because that wasn't a feature last year but right now we doh ave that which is very nice although it's not really like the craziest feature of all time it is so nice that having a little bit more customizability on our iPhones finally so I think that in and of itself is easily one of the biggest changes within iOS and how I kind of feel like at least with the last version of iOS Apple has been doing more to kind of push the UI and push editing the home screens and whatnot a little bit more than the Android I feel like that is the one spot where stock Android is kind of taking a lot to be honest because they haven't really been pushing too many features at least in my opinion compared to iOS and especially compared to one UI .

 When you wind my differencest here but with stock Android like I said I think Google can do a better job here I think since Android 12 they haven't really been you know it's only been one version since then so I do understand but I do think Google could do a better job at bringing in more features here so that is kind of the first thing I want to say not a crazy big deal but it is one of those things that I always mention now if you are very new to Android and iOS and you want a direct thing or one of my favorite features with an Android so I'm not hating it all the time it's actually with the ability of installing third-party applications so we still have that capability on Android you can install and sign your own APK files there's also I would argue better versions sometimes of applications that we don't have on our iPhones so personally I like downloading and using some emulators so on my you know Samsung that I typically use formulation there's certain emulators like the Dolphin Emulator that you can use there's Citra which is a really good one there's a ton of them available and you can also install your own APK files basicallyi nstalling your own ads on your Android phone on iPhones .

We still do not have this capability however there are tons of lawsuits and tons of things happening that are making me seem from all the rumors and everything is kind of looking like Google or apple looking like apple may end up giving us support for these types of capabilities at some point so I think that is going to be crazy if we go in general and if we go and get into you know the device or whatever VPN device management and this is where we would typically sign applications with iOS 16 Apple ended up bringing a little toggle

or bringing a little new pop-up which changed the way it was like developer mode or something like that so I do think that is a way for Apple to go ahead and give us the ability to send our application so right now Google is an Android is going to be better

in that stand endpoint.

 If you want to install your applications if you are more involved in the gaming space and if you want to install more applications like that Android might be the better one for you now I will say if we're comparing the Google tensor 2 chipset versus the a15 a16 bionic chips I do think you're going to be getting overall better performance as a whole on an iPhone than on a pixel, from this you know performance segment if you have an Android phone like a Galaxy s22 or the s23 that's going to be coming out that will probably give you better performance than an iPhone

 you know for looking at sheer performance but other than that that's basically two of the three of the main things that I like looking at now another thing we want to look at stock Android and iPhones is the cameras so one thing I've always been able to tell you guys is that typically Androids I would say iPhones give you better quality photos and videos but Androids typically have more features built into the camera between now though there's been a lot of improvements that Apple's been doing on their cameras so for comparing stock Android like a Google pixel to an iPhone I don't think you're going to be noticing creates big differences like you have video mode you have cinematic mode but even just look at when I scroll through when I click at the bottom look at how glitchy and choppy that looks you know sometimes when I'm doing that it just doesn't look good at all on an iPhone though if I go ahead and take a photo or if I just want to go through the UI much smoother it is it is like so much of a smoother price process , both of them could be doing like I feel like apple like I feel like Google could be doing a better job you have a 90 years display here 60 hertz here but it looks so much smoother on something like an iPhone than on the Android now I do think Androids have really good cameras you know I still think a lot of them do but this stock camera UI I think could be better I feel like if it's more in line with how Google or how Samsung has been doing it .

I think that would beawesome Samsung's UI although it is a bit clunky I would love the features of that camera on this I mean you don't really have too many features too many you know things built in altogether on an iPhone you do have a lot of features built in so you have good amount of features not like a crazy amount but I will sell you from them adding cinematic mode to them adding you know stabilization mode now we're having like we've always had portrait mode of panorama mode I do think they're starting to give us a lot more features into the camera and I'm actually really happy that they're going down that direction so I do think that in and of itself is another cool thing and ultimately what I can definitely tell you is those are kind of the main things that have changed at least from last year up until this year so there's a lot of differences obviously you can you know there's lots of things you have iMessage FaceTime on here but those things everybody kind of knows for the last year and looking forward I do think there's going to be lots of improvements going on and I do think next year when we kind of revisit these two phones or you know IOS and Android I think they're going to be a lot more similar and I wouldn't be surprised if Apple actually were to go ahead and give us the ability of installing third-party applications and that would match it way more in line with something like a Google pixel .
