Android vs iPhone - Which is ACTUALLY Better? (ft MKBHD) 

Controversial Topic I know, what's your take? 😂 To check out my Best Phones of 2022: trvid.com/video/video-0i4z5tqRzPg.html

I think usb-c is another huge win for Android. being able to charge everything from laptop to phone to speaker with the same cable is game changing

I think it is funny that MKBHD chooses IOS over Android in almost every topic but has a S21 Plus as a personal phone 😂

The issue I've always had with android vs apple is you can't compare them. One is a single phone, another is a wide selection of phones. Apple has a new phone released every year, and that's the one people talk about. Android has so many creators, let alone phone models released, it just isn't fair to either side. Comparing companies to Apple, though, that's way more fair.

Well I’ve recently moved back to iOS with the 14 Pro Max and so far I’m loving the new fresh experience considering my last iPhone was a 5s. That said I was an android user for many years and I still use android on my tablet but at this point neither are better than the other anymore. Both offer extremely fast processors, amazing cameras, amazing screens and top performance. Android offers more customisation and iOS offers a more simplistic approach but with optimisation in mind. I will say however, when I was using android it never felt smooth all the time and had moments where it chugged. This iPhone has yet to cause any slowdown and is extremely smooth. Either way enjoy whatever you enjoy and I’m sure I’ll be bouncing between iOS and Android for years to come.

As someone who has owned iPhones only for the past 10+ years, including the 14 Pro this year, I don't think that was a very critical comparison. I obviously think iPhones fit MY needs better, but the gap between iOS and Android phones isn't that drastic. Just different strokes... The actual objective difference is marginal and definitely not a "7.5 : 2.5" gap.

Apple has a strong community. Android covers every topic in the options department. iPhone seems superior but in this modern day age it’s really not a bad smart phone any more. Everyone is basically tweaking already established features. So I’m using the iPhone 13 Pro. Love it but I am looking into getting back into the Samsung community.

“The most boring team to watch is often the best one” ~ Mkbhd 2022

As an Android user, I really think that apps are more stable on iPhone. This is due to the fact that there are only several iPhone models that function the same way, have the same architecture, the same format etc... And on the other hand, there are hundreds of Android phones running on a different variant of Android, have different architectures... Therefore, when a company is developing their app for Android, they have to take into consideration all of the hundreds of models, so they start tweaking the app to make it work on all of them, and this breaks stuff. For instance, the Messenger app (and eventually the Facebook app) has been so buggy lately on Android phones. None of the bugs I noticed exist on my friend's iPhone. But they all exist on all my friends Android phones. As a software engineer, this problem is very well known, and it doesn't have a fully working solution, sadly. Thus, iPhone is the go-to.

I use to alternate between Android and iPhones every few years. I ended up sticking with iPhone because the os stayed a lot more stable on the earlier models. Androids os would give me all kinds of performance issues after a few years of use, regardless the model. Just ran into a big on the iPhones in which the phone was completely dead on the charger the next morning. After some research this issue pops up a bit with the newer iPhones. After trying multiple resets it finally came back to life. I hope they get this fixed.

I just have a suggestion. Why don'tot Apple add a ‘Clear App Data & Documents’ option for all apps (Device Apps & Third-party Apps) for iOS? Deleting app then reinstalling it wouldn't work when you don't have WiFi because you can't reinstall the app, and not all apps have that option built-in. Adding it for all apps would be a great idea, and would make the iOS device perfect, and if we can do it right from the home screen as well will be even perfect. Who agrees?

I enjoyed this video but I think that the comparison had a couple problems. I am an android fanboy so take this with a grain of salt. I felt that they needed more parameters in picking android comparisons. Because there's such a broad spectrum of android phones comparing by average isn't totally fair, because it gives the user the opportunity to buy based on preferences. And get the best experience in the category they care about. The user doesn't experience the average of android experiences but the specific one delivered by their specific android. I think it would have been more fair to compare iPhone to the best of android in each scenario. For example android should have won the sustainability category because of the fairphone and nokia. I still enjoyed the video and they did touch a lot of nuanced points but I think the final score should have been different.

The fun part is, apple was given a 3/10 for repairablity and the forces it’s users to pay 60% of the cost of the product to repair basic parts that could have been easily fixed for fraction of the cost. The only reason it won the that category was because of its insane ability to market itself out of all its problems

For starters, Android has many more options. You can get the phone that's right for you. Then there's the ecosystem. I very much value the option of sideloading apps. Finally, Android is highly customizable when it comes to the GUI. The iPhone isn't bad but it requires you to buy into Apple's vision rather than getting exactly what you want.

Another plus for android is you can connect your android phone to any pc and access your files instantly. Also in this video it sucks that points for android doesn't count because "not alot of people are using the feature"

70% of the photos I take are low-light just because I feel like low-light situations have better vibe to them, and I recently bought an iPhone 13 mini after having Pixel 3XL for about 2 years. I was surprised how superior Pixel camera was in low-light conditions - because of how it shows true colors in photos like street lantern, very dark clouds, almost extinguished fireplace and so on. And that's a phone from 2018 that I bought for 100+ dollars (a bit used). As for iPhone though, I shoud say I really liked its wide-angle camera and cutting objects out of photos feature.

I really enjoyed watching this video and learning about phones I never heard of as well as the comparisons.. to me, I love being able to customize y phone with themes as well as using the app Zedge to customize backgrounds, message notifications as well as ring tones for people, I'm a HUGE wrestling fan, so using Zedge is a MUST for me! My daughter has an Iphone and I've thought about switching to Apple BUT knowing there are things I can't do on Iphone that's no issue with Samsung, I may just stick with what is best for me, also my son tried an Iphone and hated it because he's used to Samsung as I am and doesn't like change..

I have both an iPhone 13 pro and an Android phone namely Motorola G31. I loved my iPhone for the first several months but I missed Android and went back and haven't looked back. I personally prefer my Motorola phone because for a budget phone it has an amoled display like Samsung and my personal favourite the headphone jack. What I loved about my iPhone was the telephoto camera and software updates and how compact it was with a 6.1 inch screen. But while Android may be poor at software updates except Pixel and to an extent Samsung, Android is far better when it comes to customisation, supporting things like headphone jacks and SD cards and there being a phone for everyone compared to iPhone where you simply pick up a model that does the same stuff as other iPhones. However I wouldn't go back to Samsung. Samsung is popular but one thing I don't like is the bloatware installed and in my opinion Samsung is a huge mess with it's os. I love Motorola because it has a clean Android software similar to Pixel and their os is almost very like Stock Android. The only con is the emojis which look cartoonish or kiddish but you can't have everything.

I've had Androids most of my adult life, so a few months ago I decided to take the IPhone 13 Pro Max for a spin, and I have two good things to say about it - the battery life was phenomenal, and I loved the solid build, but that was all I liked. I lasted a week, but returned it in favor of my S22 Ultra. I just need to be able to customize my phone and I rely on its ease of use features like single gesture closing of multiple open apps. Apple does what they do very well, and their devices are well built, but if you want greater control of your device, IPhone isn't a good choice.

Consistency between apps in iOS was something I always missed on Android.

Switching to iOS and MacOS in 2021 after a decade of using android and windows is such a hard transition. I feel locked at first few months but then I realized I don’t need much after all. It’s less complicated and the integration between each apple devices is superb. It’s easier to explain these things to non-techy people like my wife, it’s simplier and apps are more stable. The security and privacy features is what I want for my family in this digital age of ours

I really like the AI integration on my pixel 6a from recents app in the app drawer to the Google assistant voice typing. That's another point for Android it is getting really smart. AI is pretty balls on my iPad.

Nicely done, freewheeling thought processing with an excellent end result. Thanks to you both and a very happy & healthy new year!

I own both the Z-fold three, and the iPhone 13 promax. One thing that you all did not mention were android would blow the doors off of iPhone is the fact that android is not locked down and you have more freedom in regards to storing pretty much just anything on the phone without having to go through Apple approval.

Galaxy S2, Avant, iPhone 4S, S7, S10e, now iPhone 13. I'm in neither camp really, I've greatly enjoyed both. I prefer the added controls of Android, but I prefer the software/security update support length of the iPhones far, far more. It's literally why I replaced my S7 and my S10e, the phones were both 100% fine. But once they stop getting security updates, it just isn't a great idea to continue using them. Apple supports theirs drastically longer, which is appreciated. Oh, and iMessage...Google/Samsung need to establish a universal app like iMessage. Like, 15 years ago.

If you use Android regularly then split screen is definitely a huge help. It made handling tasks easier.

Regardless of how these score against each other, the difference is not that substantial. There are a lot of great phones to choose from today. I’m an Apple guy and I know why I personally prefer it but I’ll never say it’s the best out there. I recently encouraged a friend to switch to Android because of the value he could get in that phone over his old iPhone. Pick the phone that works for you 👍

It might sound like a cop-out, but whenever someone asks me whether I think iPhones or Android phones are better, I always tell them it depends on what they're looking for. I've switched from iOS to Android since 2017 because of one major issue: with iPhones, I feel like Apple decides what's better for my phone for me. From an ease of use perspective, that's great. But I like to tinker and fiddle with my phones, in which case it ends up feeling restrictive. I always felt iPhones were reliable. Just great to use out of the box without any hassles. But if you like to tinker or to experiment, I feel like Androids offer a greater deal of control or freedom. And considering in the current smartphone markets where most flagships perform so well (so well that an average consumer won't notice the difference in most cases) that it's less about performance, and more about user experience.

So interesting that despite MKB scoring iPhone much higher, his daily driver was the Samsung S21. Correct me if I'm wrong but both gents use Android phobes. It really comes down to personal use cases, what's available and affordable and fun. It's great to have good choices

One important question wasn't asked, right to repair, yes it might seem like an android bias but its quite a significant point, i know a lot may disagree but even though apple has slightly given in its still a major hassle to repair an iphone in comparison to android, then there is the ability to root android to update what the manufactures don't, lastly if im not mistaken but the google pixel 6/7 has 5 years of updates, either way it still doesn't change the outcome apple still wins just not by as much.

Upgrade cycles are getting shorter I think, so android being budget friendly matters more in the long run I think

Great colab and I really liked the video! However there is one thing I gotta say. During the eco conscious category one thing you skipped over was repairability. That is arguably the most important part of an eco phone and android is a clear winner there with apple doing things like software locking parts etc.

13 pro is my first iphone... Im amazed by the battery, I still cant believe how long it lasts. Yesterday I was using phone as internet hotspot(lte+bluetooth) for 3.5 hours on the bus, while I also used screen (not whole time, but most of the time), and only 40% dropped.. on my S9 when I only listened to music on internet (no screen, no bluetooth), it already dropped like 60%... iOs also has some small annoying things, so no system is perfect: - You mentioned that you trust iPhone camera, because you had problems with android, that the picture was never saved. Funny, but since the last few udpate on my 13 pro I press camera button and nothing happens.. or it takes the photo 2-3 sec later, when I already dont focus the subject.. Very annoying, and it happens quite often, not only 1-2 times... this is the biggest down currently for me - no shurtcut for GPS in the control centre - copying files to windows laptop is a nightmare. It gives error, but in the background it still copied files... then you realise HEIC extension doesnt work on windows, I purchased a 1$ app from store to make it work. Its not about the money, its about that I tried Itunes, native copying, 3rd party app, nothing worked... and noone mentions this, but YOU HAVE TO ENABLE A SETTING IN IPHONE, that when you copy files to Mac or PC, you have to keep the originals (until you dont enable this, some conversion is the default, and the copying starts, but stucks every time after like 10 mins...). Otherwise the process I wrote first also doesnt work. I know I cloud and things, but hey...

The two top guys in phone reviews talking about the differences was an eye opener. While I have used both it is great to see their perspective. They can purchase both and compare honestly. I'm sure there are some considerations they have to make because of the freebies they get but to hear their honest opinion is eye opening.

I would actually give the Eco Conscious category a draw because Apple use proprietary chargers, and since they don't come in the box, there's more cost to the consumer and more packaging.

It would be nice to see the Google Pixel 6/7 Pro considered in this comparison

I actually use and like split screen and some other stuff so i would give Android that point. Also i would give a point to Android for options for its open source and free for all instead of apple market dominance leading to monopolistic policies especially like right to repair related issue. I don't think i would ever buy an Apple product coz it just feels too shady to me.

time stamp for anyone interested 0:26 display 2:11 performance 3:43 battery 5:38 camera(photography) 8:28 camera(video) 8:51 eco conciousness 9:55 software reliabilty 12:17 software features 16:41 software support 17:52 pricing hope it helps

I miss LG. They were really cutting edge. First use of multiple cameras, that thing they did with the G8 screen where the glass is the speaker, guest unlock codes etc.

i carry both iPhone and Android daily. (fold 4 and 14 pro max specifically) i honestly thought this conversation was going to be allot better than it was. i use each phone for specific things but if i had to get rid of one, that iphone is gone! but i like having them both. and if you can do it, its the best option.

User of both worlds here: One thing regarding the Eco part, in my view, is, that a plus for the iPhone is that it seems to keep its value and operability for quite some time. Most of my Android phones become unusable after ~3 years. But a big minus that counteracts all the positive things regarding the eco part is Apple's hostile behavior in actively sabotaging every attempt to repair devices, blocking 3rd party repair-services, and making the devices unmaintainable overall - or if possible, making the official, proprietary repairs more expensive than new devices (hint to the Louis Rossman YT Channel). Plus, I often get the feeling that you pay the most by far for their devices, but they act like you do not really own them. Which is especially mind-blowing given the price.

Thanks for this video! It helps a lot with figuring out how to move to the next great device. The conversation and setup was a journey BTW. Very nice!

For me, the advantage of the iPhone is long support and good components. Although even if I had a supported iPhone X, I would still sigh for 14, 13. The high price is a big loss, but since the phone is bought for years, the price can be somehow accepted.

The dual-app feature on Android is something I personally use all the time, and would immediately miss if I were to switch to iPhone (too few Android users know about it and use it imo). Floating windows is something I also use a lot, where you can have an app window that is essentially floating on top of everything else and can be minimised (you can open up a lot more than just 2 windows as well) it's actually a very cool feature you've probably never seen before, look it up even if you're an iPhone user, it's quite interesting lol. Such "power features" and things like file system access, is why I prefer Android. So in the end it's always up to the specific user and their needs, which is what determines which platform is "better".

I only found both of these creators yesterday, and I really only have this single video to go off of. The scoring here feels off to me. Verbally, they seemed to be giving both platforms a fair review, but the iPhone kept getting a full point in close categories whereas the Android was given a draw. I'm an iPhone (well, iPad) user myself, and it seemed odd even to me. It's making me question if I can treat both of these guys as reliable review sources. Not sure just yet.

I feel like Marques was really biased here and android should have got more points (Arun also looked surprised a few times but then let ios get the point), at the end there is not one system being way better than the other, it depends on personal preference

love this! really wanted to see something like this. As a android user since the my whole life im definitely curious to switch to the iPhone just to experience it.

I love collaboration. Very informative and helpful.

The software features part is kinda relative tho. I live in a country where most people use Android phones, and therefore, no iOS functions are standard for us. iOS users here aren't particularly attached to facetime or iDrop because the situations in which they would come handy are very limited.

Apple claims to be more eco-friendly, but reparability is a real factor there. You can repair most Andriod phones more easily and cheaper than any IOS device. The longer update support and recycled materials are also an important factor though. Would have been good to see reparability as a separate topic perhaps, just to emphasize that you can actually fix your phones and don't need to toss them as soon as a single component breaks down (or pay someone else to repair it).

You guys absolutely nailed it. Hope to see more videos of this duo, not just related to phones, but pretty much anything related to tech! Great video guys. Loved it!

They mentioned a lot of good minor things about android, but didn't count it. Idk why! For me the most true and important thing about Iphone they mentioned was The camera and Software update. But I really like Android and specially I am using Samsung (Top Samsung fan). Like most people Iphine drives me crazy and it has a closed UI, which they should've mentioned. Anyways good info👍

When it comes to the widget customizing android has been doing it for ever. It's pretty much endless about what u can do and create. Yes it does take some learning but at the end android is king when it comes to that. And actually it's really not that hard to learn and with thousands of Kwgt and klwp the setups are just endless and unique

Doing the comparison now, now that Pixel 7 Pro is out, would inevitably change the scoreboard quite a bit

This review was pure Apple. Even though there was bad things about Apple and more good to Samsung it'd be a point to Apple. Both have flaws I prefer Samsung because there is so much more "freedom" it doesn't feel restricted like being on an Apple phone.. plus when it comes to IOS updates they stop after so many years on a certain device to basically make you buy a new device. Samsung,Android it's updates I have an S21 ultra had it since the release date I have a iPad mini that's roughly 7 years old can't do an update nor download any apps it's something to play songs on just a paperweight. But I do have another Android that is around the same age and I can still do alot with that one. In my opinion Apple forces you Samsung does not

I think the reason that Android lost a fair few categories is that it is not about one single manufacturer. Some features are defining ones for some manufacturers like Motorola's Chop Chop for flashlight and Samsung's Dex and even Xiaomi's ridiculous community support. This is the beauty and weakness of Android. That fact that Android is little imperfect, it encourages you to make your own contribution towards it without caring about getting sued or anything. Android has a more playful aesthetic and is built for nerds like me but iOS has a few constraints. I love the fact that rooting is so easy on Android and you can use apps like GCam Port.

It’s quite a tough choice, because the ram, and with budget users, Cameras are great in android, but performance and things are great on iPhones. Apple and android are practically tied on things. The 2018 android I had took stunning photos, but the 2021 iPhone is good, but not the best in my opinion.

A really important fact for me (which is rarely mentioned in any video) is, how these phones are doing long term, and Im speaking of years, not just months. If there is such thing that Iphones are longer living than androids or the other way around, or if it completely depends on your luck with every phone. That would be one serious reason to choose one before the other, since I can not afford a high end flagship every 2 years. Has someone experiences?

The big reason I just went back to Android is because every video app that I use on iOS for school and work performed poorly, heats up, and drains the battery faster. I have been carrying the OnePlus 5t with me for years even though I use the iPhone just so I can use all my productivity apps.

I’m using both s 22 ultra now running android 13 one ui 5.0 and iPhone 14 pro max iOS 16.1 I’m juggling between both I like iOS a bit better but have done digging in the new android 13 yet just updated it. It’s a close deal here. But the battery life is better on iPhone 14 pro max so far

Have to agree with everything MKBHD said, but I hope android phones can be better competitions for iPhones especially in those small things like camera app open speed, virus concern, system lag, etc. I have both android and iPhones. I mainly use iPhone but I wish I could have same quality choices for android phones.

I think Android should have got more than 2.5 points, but most of these categories are very close and subjective and depend on how you see it. iOS is more reliable, Android is more customizable. But both are constantly improving and copying each other. At the end of the day, it's all about preference.

The same thing goes with the analysis for photos. The average user is not going to make their decision on which system is best based on one or two niche ability in the camera app.

I love the fast charging. I never have to worry about battery even if I have to go out and forgot to charge, I know the few minutes I take to prepare is enough for a useable charge.

The reliability in the iPhone goes hand in hand with their closed system. I liken it to Toyota cars. They're prefect for the masses that spend all their time in straight and level fight. They're extremely reliable from A to B but with zero performance and excitement in between. Similarly, Apple takes all the things people like to do the most often, then they perfect them. The limitation is, you typically cannot put on toe out from that paradigm. If you do, it all turns into a major disaster. I have a refurbished N20U, btw. Its old, but it does everything I need a phone to do.

I switched to IOS recently and it wins for me, but Android is still a great pick. Sometimes i really miss Androids freedom with all of the features.

I use split screen feature a lot as well on my S21 Ultra. And I found out that I actually really enjoy using the pen from my Remarkable tablet (which turns out to work just like an S-pen). It's really useful for drawing instructions on screenshots and for fine-tuning video editing on the phone. And the USB-C is what I feel all phones should switch to. But most of all I'm used to my Android phone - I loved LG while they existed and bought only their phones before. Switched to Samsung now and I'm also very happy. No reason for me to go over to iOS for the time being. And I grew up and don't care if the other person is an iOS user. We can transfer files now between phones, after all :))

I was a hardcore samsung note user but they are soooo expensive that I started to consider iphone. I switched because : - i have a mac so it makes everything easier - being able to use imessage and ft really helps with networking in new york - security features like icloud relay, hide my email and tracker blocking make me feel secure and in control of my data and browsing

Just switched from an Android mid-to-low range phone (moto g9 play, released in 2020) to an iPhone X, a phone from 5 years ago. It was easier than expected for me to transition from one to another. Both phones are amazing and to be fair this is only my first iPhone (bought secondhand), as I wanted to give it a try. I believe I'll be staying in iOS because while it doesn't have the biggest specs (my moto had bigger ram capacity and higher megapixel count, to give two examples), the phone overall is so optimized I actually don't feel that I care. Plus I'll have more updates for a longer timeframe so it's better for my pocket too, as I'm on a budget, and it lasts for longer after reaching its final update: I have an iPad 4th gen that I can use with no issue, I don't have much apps on it but I only needed it for Procreate and Google Drive and it still works with older versions of the apps.

To me, I think it all depends on the phone itself. I’ve had the android phone for years and although There are a lot of things I love about The android My experience with the iPhone has just been a lot better. Call quality, texting, and the internet for me it’s so much faster with iPhone than the android. But then, again, I love the freedom of being able to store all of my information in my android Without the limitation of permission. But to each it’s own, I love my iPhone.

I think you may have missed a huge category: how easy it would be to change from one to the other. I've never used Android, but I can't imagine going through the hassle of abandoning stuff on my iPhone or converting it to Android. I have no idea of course, about the reverse procedure. Without this ranking, we can't calculate the weight of the other ten categories from the point of view of whether supposed differences in ranking make it worth while to change.

I don't use multi windows much on my Samsung phone. But it does come in handy when I need it. Like those email confirmation codes, or on amazon and I wanna check a TRvid review on an item I wanna buy

I was an avid iPhone user for years, and was very happy for the most part. I gave Android a chance when Samsung released a new phone a few years back, and never realized what I was missing out on. One topic that was not really discussed here, that is very important to me now, is the how much better Android plays with 3rd party hardware. Watches, Smart TV's, Speakers, etc... There is a world of great technology out there that Apple just doesn't want you to be able to take full advantage of. And, this is always a hot topic as well... But, Android Auto with Google assistant is just unmatched in my opinion. I'm not a fanboy of either platform by any means, and am actually making this comment from an Apple computer. However, these small things are very important to me, especially my smart watch. Great comparison otherwise though. Cheers.

I’ve used android my whole life. And I used iPhone 2 years once it was the 11pro and now the 11pro max. I will be switching back to android. The level of customization/personalization is far better on android phones, multitasking is way more efficient on android. It’s nearly non existent on iPhones. And android phones have by far the coolest features to play around with. And from personal experience I think my s21 ultra was a better camera phone compared to my 13pro max that I use now. Also reverse wireless charging is greatly missed … and having to carry around an iPhone cable when I already have everything else in the house using a usb c is annoying

Even with that landslide victory for iphone I would still go with an android. Ig the biggest factor for me is the freedom it gives me. It allows me to adapt the os the way I like and the overall custom phones there are.

There was some favortism in my opinion also like bc from what it seems you guys use apple more so there is a preference. You should do this again with the s23 and 14 or wait till the 15 and s24. and you should have added repairability bc fixing your phone can be critical for the screen and price affordance

It's unfortunate when Huawei got taken out of the equation at its peak of already overtaking Apple and then Samsung in global categories, the Android community also took a huge hit. Since then, no Android company filled the shoes in stepping up as a challenge to Apple. Hmm, guess the US government played its best card.

I used to be an Android user who hated iPhone, and I still use Android, but Apple’s minimalistic design is tempting me to buy one. I’m nervous about switching to iOS though. 😬

Android to me just offers so many more options and customization. Also love that I can stick my sd card in and instantly quadruple my phones storage.

I've always been an android user, apart from a year or so when I had the iphone 4S (which I did not like), but apart from that I've always been an android user and specifically a loyal Samsung user since I got my first smartphone (I believe it was the Samsung Galaxy S2). Samsung has never let me down yet

switced to 14 pro iPhone from years of samsung flagships this year - never going back to Androids again. Not that they're particularly bad or anything, it's mainly just the enjoyment factor. I am enjoying the performance of the iPhone and I can really appreciate the thought that goes behind nearly everything that happens on the phone. It's just better. The camera is astounding on the 14 Pro too. Animations are super slick, design is unmatched, the phone just looks and feels perfect in every way to me. I used to hate having to go through iTunes to transfer anything from a windows PC, especially music but with spotify or other streaming services - I don't really care about that anymore. I mostly email myself things or put them on my google drive anyway.

I'd give something else to iPhone. It's the fact that you can just simply move from a way older phone to the newest. I'll use the iPhone 8 and iPhone 13 Pro, obviously the specs will always be better in the new phone, but it's the fact that the UI and software will always stay the same. Some people say it's the same but for average iPhone users its a great jump because they'll still be able to navigate through everything like usual.

The only things I found on iOS phones that I think that's better than on Android are the software update support length and the lidar sensor

my favourite thing with gaming on android is that you can do emulation. emulation lets you run so many more games that are really high quality than iphone mobile apps. i also love shooting RAW on android with other camera apps like footej camera 2, because as a photographer it is just better to shoot RAW.

This was great, please continue making more collaborative videos. These are fun to watch and packed with information & different POVs on the same point. Btw guys, thanks for providing great quality content. You guys rock and add a lot of value to the tech community. You guys inspire many of us.

I'm using both, I like how iphones are so smooth and almost lag free. And I love how Android are so customizable when it regards to themes.

I have been an android user since the galaxy nexus phone and coming from a blackberry I was blown away by every thing that I could do... Whenever I tried using an iPhone I felt very confined... Barely any customization, lack of expandable memory, ect... It didn't feel right. The one thing I have to give props to apple, is their marketing! They are able to get people to spend more money for a very basic product. Samsung isn't the only android company, from Google to Sony, Motorola to Huawei, Nokia to Asus and everything in between, you will find your perfect phone! Android allows almost seamless connectivity between other phones, laptops, desktops, basically anything with a chip and Bluetooth/wifi can connect to an android without needing extra apps. Talking about apps, there are so many apps for literally anything you want to do! If on the slight chance you don't find one, you can even create your own! Phone build quality varies from brand to brand but the flagship models offer the most reliable phones. You even have Android phones that are built for active military conditions and will literally work in any environment without a case! I've owned a wide variety of android phones from about 13 different brands and I can go on and on about every specific characteristic of each brand. None of them made me wanna pull my hair out because of lack of features or disinterest... The iPhone stresses me out to the point of being sick because I could name 20 android phones that can do everything I want or need for half the price! Why would I pay more money to be restricted? If you want a smartphone to be like everyone else and just use it for TRvid, browsing, taking generic pictures and you want to spend money every year because Apple will worsen your phone to force you to update, get an iPhone! If you want a phone that reflects your personality, gives you the freedom to do whatever you want to and will be easier on the wallet, consider getting an android!

Cool video. Hmmm, I wonder how android didn't win the display section, and there are lots of comparison bais... Well, it is all down to choice like you guys stated.

I think it shows that both are great options when yall both use samsung phones when you ranked iPhone better here. I love my Samsung s22 way more than any iPhone but I just prefer it after using adroid for so long. Not to mention the zoom is so good that I can take clear photos of the moon eith my PHONE!!! How many people can go x30 for a moon photo? Samsung and iPhone are just two very simular devices up to the person buying to decide!

Seeing these two together feels like a crossover episode

You can tell Arun is a big fan of MKBHD but I think that's what made this video kinda biased because you could see how Arun had different opinions on a few things but that would result in a tie, so every time that he might've disagreed it would be a tie. I agree with other comments, that you guys should have each had your score and then come up with a final rating or just leave those out for people to decide.

I've been a android user always Samsung LG Motorola all high end devices i do like IPhone the battery life is really nice especially on the 13 pro max the funny thing is battery life really matters a lot to me i have the Samsung galaxy S22+ on the way to my mailbox! Great review guys thanks!

This is actually pretty accurate, I love my S10 but Samsung really dropped the ball after it. Though the foldable is still going great ( hopefully with cheaper versions to drop next year).

Can you guys please do this when iOS 17 and the latest version of Android drops would be really cool to revisit this comparison 🤙🤙🤙❤️

2.5 Vs 7.5 final score..... I feel like Android missed so many points it deserved. The fact that you can easily change your OS to a lighter weight OS (like you can install Linux, not recommending it but you can) or a new skin of Android on most androids can add to its longevity which should help out it's eco score cause if you can keep your phone for longer and still use it, you're actually gonna contribute less to E-Waste. If you are just going off of the figure that Apple says about 20% of each iPhone is recycled. I understand why you would put it down to that baseline as it's an easy figure but it's not just something that can be easily measured overall and should have been a bit more in depth on. Not to mention the features. It's all about perspective sure but is iMessage or all of those iPhone apps a necessity? Like Android has so many different little features that Apple just doesn't. I personally hate having a notch on my phone, especially because I like watching videos on my phone and feel like it gets in the way, and I don't really take selfies that often so my camera pops out of my phone. Not to mention there are probably android versions of iMessage that although not as good get the job done. So I don't see how android lost the features round either.

I've always had funny debates with my friends about if android or ios is better. I will say iPhone has WAAAY better cameras and you get more proformance for the buck. But for me personally, I multitask a lot and I really like Android being open source so you can literally do whatever you want, while iPhone doesn't have that perk. I also don't get how people deal with that annoying white bard at the bottom of your screen instead of just having three buttons that do everything for you and it doesn't mess with your screen. So for someone who likes a lot of customization and multitasking (like me), Android is far superior, but for someone that just needs a good, simple, stable battery phone with a good camera, iPhone definitely takes the stage.

I feel like I'm probably in the minority on this one, but this collab feels more like an interview. Both of you are very talented creators, but this video is driven very heavily by opinion. That said, all the decisions seem to defer very heavily to Marques's opinion. Marques is making very valid observations, but those same observations are very heavily based in circumstance.

Totally blew off Oppo for overall end results in photos and camera quality. I still have my Find X2 Pro and that phone takes the best photos of any camera phone I’ve ever experienced

I personally will always support company's that DON'T self-sabotage their own product just to fix the product 6 models later in a very wierd way that is only slightly better than the original. Apple has that reliability, but Samsung and the such try to go for better products, not ones that are holding back. I understand that it's a long term strategy, but they should at least not pretend that they are on the "creative side" like they did when the E.U. forced them to use USB C. You are not creative when you make your product worse. Other than that, I like Apple, like how they only release something when they've mastered it.

In the display department I think MKBHD has somewhat cheated as curved displays are more above in technologies rather than flat displays and if you took sony in consideration no one gives 4k display on a smartphone and 21:9 ratio is just superb for anything and for iPhone every of them has a notch whereas xiaomi mi mix alpha has 360 degree screen aal rounded so sophisticated as futuristic!(Never ending topic) but this poin should obviously go to android!
