Atleast in Qatar it's not a problem at all. I can move my sim from one device to another without any support within a minute. Never encounter those rare situations which people quote as a problem arising due to esims.

I’m very interested to hear your take on the iPhone the more you use it. I really appreciate XDA. It is great to see them cover more operating systems.

Alex, I love how you went through and reviewed the entire device. It’s been a while since I’ve seen someone do such an amazing job I’ve been watching your videos for mini mini years. I have been an avid iPhone and android user almost continuously since the first iPhone I always had an android device, I’ve always heavily lean towards iOS but I love the curiosity of the differences between vanilla android on the pixel and the Nexus line. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work.

I switched from an iPhone XR to an S22 Ultra. I never had more than one Apple product at once, so I was never in their ecosystem. Honestly, Samsung's transfer software makes switching from iOS ridiculously easy. The only real pain point was getting people I know to re-setup their iMessage contacts to use my phone number instead of my iCloud account. Otherwise it's been smooth sailing and loving the new phone. There's almost nothing I miss from my old phone (other than the physical mute switch) and my new one continuously surprises me with all the stuff it can do and customize.

Great video! I loved the detail you put into it and made it so intelligently without any waffling anywhere. I’m an android user of the Galaxy note series and now the s23 ultra. I started out with the first iPhone and switched when the note came out with its 3rd iteration. I’m thinking about switching to the incoming iPhone 15 promax/ultra since I’m a heavy social media user and iPhone apps are much more improved/sophisticated than Android. The only thing I’ll be missing in the iPhone will be the innovative themes which completely change the phone’s outlook and the pinching small and large text capabilities of the messaging app. iPhone so far hasn’t provided any material change in those departments. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks again for such an educational video.

I've also just switched to a 14 pro after my last iPhone being the 3Gs. I made the switch because I was really impressed with my macbook air M1 (I've been a life long windows users for laptops), apple silicon and was after a more consistent camera system. Glad I made the switch thus far.

@@lxnd It's been good. I find everything just "works" e.g. seamless integration with my MacBook and other Apple devices. Things like Bluetooth just seem better too. The device just feels more premium too - build quality, speakers, camera quality, screen etc. The things I'm not a fan of are : - Lightning cable rather than usb-c, but apparently that's changing with the 15 - Stingy iCloud allowance - you get 5GB free which after your phone backup is on there doesn't leave much room for other stuff. Google gives you 15GB for comparison. You have to pay a monthly fee for more with apple. The keyboard - it just sucks. I've installed gboard on this phone. No "silent" mode. I always had silent on my android so I would still get notifications but just no vibration or sound. iOS doesn't have that - the closest I've got it a personalised "focus" setting (basically do not disturb) but it's not quite the same. Things that feel pretty much the same: Battery life - nothing special on this phone compared to my old one, even with the efficient chip - however it might be down to the fact that this phone is just higher spec My advise would be to wait for the 15 pro if you can afford it. I'll likely be getting it when it comes out too

Selecting text to copy or edit is also really bad. So much easier on Android. And yes the call log / history isn't great. I love how Google does a reverse lookup on any number you call (mainly businesses) so you can then have caller ID name & number for any outbound calls you make that aren't saved contacts. Call screening is nice as well. The more I type this the more I want to put my sim back into my Pixel.

I wound up with an iphone 13 pro after having data\modem issues with a pixel 6 like many others, and while I didn't hate it, managing things like notifications and navigation just annoyed me. I took a chance with the pixel 7 due to generous trade-in deals for the pixel 6, and I'm glad I did. No data issues, great battery life and quality feel. While the iphone is a great bit of hardware, the software side left me unimpressed. Also Android Auto is so much better than car play IMO.

Switched from Huawei P30 Pro to iPhone 14 Pro, basically to conclude that the P30 Pro is ridiculously good, especially considering it's almost 4 year old technology. The main reason I bought the P30 Pro was the camera unit. I had the Fuji XT-system but wanted something smaller for my travels. And boy, the P30 Pro delivered BIG time, especially when you pushed the boundaries (low light, and not even using the famous night mode). It was a breeze to use and had the best and most consistent battery life I ever experienced, and fast charging. So far, I see that the 14 Pro has really good software, fantastic battery life, and Face ID is just brilliant. Cameras are great in daylight, but I expected too much of it in harder circumstances. It sort of squeezes everything out of its cameras by using pretty advanced and agressive software, at the cost of transparency. And tele? 2x and 3x zoom, come on... I somehow really wanted to be more impressed hardware wise, especially for 1460 euros (256GB). Might consider something from Google or Xiaomi, just to see what it's like.

In terms of OS functionality, I do miss the more customizable Android, and I also agree with you that iOS seems to be steering the user more into its own ecosystem.

If you want to you can have several installed “resting” eSIMs on your phone but only 2 active at a time.

@@Babun13 everyone in the comments talks so highly let me show you my experience with a 13 for not even a year. To me other than the battery life. Way worse than android. You need subscriptions after subscriptions to have music or anything of use. Music also sounds way better through headphones on android iPhone doesn’t have the same audio driver quality. Emulators although they run really well on apple products are more of a hassle. Altstore is a thing but you need a mac or some luck with a windows pc to even activate that. Certain things like the way typing is also better on android. Safari sucks and even tho chrome is on iPhone it’s just a skin since apple doesn’t want any other browsers truly independent. For me the service has been worse than android and iPhones having the highest amount of radiation which interferes with cellular reception as well as being toxic oddly google pixel is another offender and Samsungs have some of the lowest amounts of radiation which is also why the reception tends to be pretty good. I can go on and on though. I’m going back to android and unless the tsmc snapdragons don’t help battery and the battery is way more terrible is the only way I’d come back to iPhone and that would be a huge maybe.

@@anmol3457The developer cannot customize each and every app for the hundreds of android phone models that exist. With iOS, all iPhones use the same GUI so they only have to make one version. Apple is strict with their apps and requires a certain level of quality that Google does not require. The Apple experience is that of an extremely refined and smooth process. Everything looks amazing and works well and there are virtually no glitches. Android always will be a step behind because the software and hardware are made by different companies and the OS can never be perfectly optimized to the hardware. That is why iPhones have smaller batteries but almost always last longer than Android phones with bigger batteries. Apple understands that balance is important. Android phones aren’t bad, they typically have 1 or 2 standout features, but are mediocre in everything else.

Doesn't the way iOS handles notifications drive you nuts? Multiple taps and swipes?

It's basically the same story for me. My first and so far last iPhone was the 3GS and I've been a Mac user for the past 10 years or so. In the Android world I used so far the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 and a OnePlus 6T. Google assistant is great and I do cast a lot too but for some reason I wanted to switch back for some time to try something new. I intend to keep my OnePlus 6T on my second Sim card and use an iPhone 14 Pro Max. One of the many reasons is to get an update at the tike of release and a flagship phone. On Android I've got too much choice and that's killing me. I like both but as you said Alex it's a nice change. Once I can get my hand on an iPhone I'll make the switch.

Why I choose android over I Phone. 1. File Manager/Open File system. 2. File Transfer possiblity 3. Third party apps. 4. Extendable Storage. 5. Apps and services are cheaper. 6. Cheaper to maintain and service.

I tried this last year as I changed industries and got an iPad pro and iPhone 13 Pro, really tried to love it but never did and constantly felt restricted and caged. Even when they finally gave features that all other devices have they were always slightly less capable, but sure for about 80% of people they probably prefer this, switched back to Google phone

I switched to iPhone 13 Pro this year. First iPhone after 10/11 years with android. I still keep my Samsung Note 10 Lite with me since I can’t ditch the S-Pen. We got the same pains. The Android notifications are executed better than iOS. I miss atuff like being able to reply to a message straight from the notification or deleting a marketing email I’m not even interested in reading. I thought the lack of the nav buttons will make the transition difficult, but it did not. Gestures on the iOS works smoothly, although for some reason I can’t get used to gestures on Android phones. It’s not even a month since I got this phone. I can’t say I can fully transition to iOS, but what I can noticed is that I’m slowly doing it, preferring to pick up the iPhone over Samsung to scroll through socials.

Never thought I'd see the day that old Android Central guys would be switching to Android. I think Phil uses one as a daily driver as well.

I switched from a Pixel 6 to the iPhone 13 mini in February of this year. Literally the first time using iPhone. The transition, like you pointed out, was very tedious and annoying. After that was out of the way though, it has been a decent experience. The main reason I switched was because I couldn't stand the amount of bugs the Pixel 6 had when it came to things like the fingerprint sensor not working, random network drops, WiFi not working on occasion... Now after using iPhone for a fair amount of time, I'm switching back to Pixel 7 and probably won't switch back to iPhone. There are too many things I miss. One of the most major ones is call screening on Pixel. I also have a large music library of old CDs that I'd ripped which are very annoying to transfer to iPhone and it seemed to throw up region errors for me which made no sense since I literally own the files. Another issue has been downloading PDF documents from any browser besides Safari. My everyday work requires me to occasionally download documents to read on my phone and I found this to be very annoying when using Chrome on iOS. The notification management is also pretty bad with old notifications seemingly staying forever even though they have been dealt with. In general, it's not a terrible experience, but I feel quite cheated considering I paid more for the iPhone 13 mini than my Pixel 6 but still somehow got a worse experience. Also, the iPhone seems to randomly switch from WiFi to cellular which doesn't happen on my wife's Pixel in the same house. Overall, I don't think iPhones are as refined as they are touted to be with Android simply providing well thought out features and better overall UX.
