For me, it's the opposite. I've used Android since 1.6 (donut) in 2009, then I switched to iPad first in 2019 and iPhone in 2020. I should have switched years ago. I was so loyal to Android but I always hated it because it was never smooth or coherent and the update anxiety is the worst.

@The3osforos

Ай бұрын

@NinPossible The update anxiety with android is real. The only reason I stayed with android this year is the fact that a) samsung has been consistent with updates and b) the fact that they promised 7 years of updates which really means that I will not be having update anxiety in 3 years time.

Apple has won if you completely ignore the 2 largest markets in the World: India and China ... where Apple can't seem to sell much. And if you look into South America (where I moved recently), I don't see many Apple products here in Brazil (probably due to the fact that an iPhone here costs $2000 due to import taxes while average income is barely around $500). Apple seems to dominate mostly in the US and be 50/50 in Europe (where I am from). In my opinion, thinking that Apple dominates is a very narrow (UK + US) point of view but I might be wrong and it would be interesting to compare that point of view with actual sales numbers worldwide (which I admit I didn't do).

@PeteMatheson

Ай бұрын

My editor used to live in Brazil. I remember trying to get a Macbook Pro to him - INSANELY expensive to buy. I even looked at buying one here and jumping on a plane to give it to him in person. Madness. I believe Android has wider market share worldwide, since there are hundreds of companies that make phones of all shapes / sizes / budgets. But then again, Apple is the 2nd most valuable company in the entire world. Under Microsoft I think? So where Android revenue is split between thousands of devices and manufacturers. Apple takes all of the iPhone revenue. So I guess it just depends on how your frame the 'Who's won'. By valuation, number of devices sold. Android as a whole, or the individual companies making Android devices etc! Appreciate you watching and commenting man, I hope you enjoyed the vid :)

@@PeteMatheson That is definitely an interesting way to look at it. Let's say that as a company they have won, but as an ecosystem they have "lost". I mean lost as not dominating any market but clearly we can't say they are loosers since at a whole, they are a huge contender in any of those markets. But if they stay as closed and pricey as they are today, I can see them losing market shares over time. That might be where the EU is helping them despite it not being the goal. By forcing them to open a little bit, it might be bad short-term but I think it will strengthen their position long-term. There are so many things we can speculate on but only time will tell :)

@TechDaddyFr ---- The key point is what you said in the last line of your comment. One must look at actual sales numbers. The quick version is that Apple ships 20% of worldwide phones (same as Samsung), they make 60% of the revenue (net sales) and make 80% of the profits in the entire market. The first number (units) that most people look at are phony and published by IDC or Counterpoint. The revenue and profits are exact and issued by the various manufacturing companies. Also the number of units are NOT sales, but rather shipments. Sales in any company are always reported as money not units. The companies that do the shipment reports do not have access to 100% of the data, they are estimating and sometimes off wildly. Getting back to "has Apple already won" then. In my opinion it is yes. There are many reasons but most importantly by being more profitable they can spend lavish amounts on R&D and other companies can't. The innovation in the market depends upon R&D. When one looks at the real numbers, it's not a close race. Apple won years ago.

@bruxi78230

Ай бұрын

@TechDaddyFr ---- Wanted to mention something unrelated to my previous comment. You said "if you completely ignore the 2 largest markets India and China". In India Apple is quite small. The Indian government forced them build manufacturing facilities before the could build Apple stores and sell at decent prices, but it is growing at a rapid rate. However in China they are extremely successful. I'll compare Apple sales to Huawei sales to illustrate this: Huawei is the largest Chinese consumer tech company. Of the company sales 67% are in the Chinese market. The total of consumer sales for Huawei was 35 billion usd. So 67% of that is Chinese consumer sales of 23.5 billion usd. In the case of Apple they reported 72.5 billion in China sales for 2023. Apple is dominant in high-end tech which sells extremely well in urban China. Huawei is very strong selling low-end tech to people in rural China.

One of the things that has kept me on Android is the ease of emulation but that is changing now that I don't have to jump though hoops for emulators on Apple devices.

A+ for video production Pete! You have put together a great team. 80% of Americans have an iPhone so I’m not surprised such a high percentage of teenagers in the US are iPhone users - because their mums and dads have iPhones… and Apple’s marketing in recent years really has been aimed at youth/young adults on social media. But here in Australia it’s split evenly at 50/50 iPhone and Android users and in Asian countries it’s predominantly Android. Parents will likely buy their kids the budget version of what they’re using. Also, I’m very curious (as I am every year) about the iPhone 16… can they win me back from Samsung?

The fact that iPhone has up to 10 years of a head start on all of the other phones and ecosystems, also exactly the advantage those other phones have. There are certain core UI things that Apple would love to change about the iPhone but can't now because their user base is too big. Things that Samsung and Google have been able to fix because their developers got to use an iPhone for years and learn exactly what should be changed.

@PeteMatheson

Ай бұрын

Thanks dude!

I'm looking at going the other way, Samsung to iPhone. It's improtant to note, I'll be going mid range, as I always have, so iPhone SE vs the Samsung A series. I feel the mid range is where Apple falls down, offering only a single mid range product, then doubling the price, in my region, for the base flagship style product. However, what Apple offers, for me, over Android, is simplicity. As I get older, I'm 51, I just ease of operation, being able to download an app and trust it's not a dodgy app, or worse, a dodgy app masked as a legit app. Also just to be able to buy accessories that'll work natively without needing to faff about. Plus, and probably most importantly, the rest of the family use iPhone, and with my elderly father living alone, having those built in location services etc are important for us.

With most apple products, to get the best experience of the new features, I think that one must wait a few years before upgrading. If one upgrades to the newest iPhone every year, the new stuff is minuscule. But if one upgrades from an iPhone 13 or older to the upcoming iPhone 16 (or pro/pro max), the new features will be more present in their daily lives.

I don't know why but my macbook just doesn't connect seamlessly and easily when I tether with my iPhone. It takes about 2 minutes for my mac to detect my iPhone hotspot! This has been the same since I started using iPhone XS Max to my current iPhone 15 Pro Max and after the 3 recent macbook Air iterations. What's ironic is that my macbook tethers seamlessly easy with an android Pixel phone!

I carry both and intend to continue doing so. An iPhone Pro Max and a Galaxy S Ultra. However I've only used an Apple Watch for the past 3.5 years and sold my Galaxy watches. I'm still undecided what types of laptop to upgrade to from my ancient Windows laptop.

As soon as Jobs passed you could see the focus stray. The first product release after that was titled “The New iPad”. It’s amazing how long they can drift off of one persons focus, guidance and vision. All of their innovations past Jobs have been copying other companies technologies. Behind the scenes they’ve plowed money into R&D and failed on auto (>$10B invested), AI (hiring it out) and who knows what else. What makes them unique now is just doing it better than everyone else… letting the market decide what they want. Will be interesting to see where they go in the future. I personally think they need a new CEO, which won’t happen.

Next time you dismiss a device by any company, just tell me. Ok? 😂

Nah I don't understand it. Used iphones from the iPhone 4s and got the iPhone 15 pro max. Traded it in got the fold 5 and not looked back. It's not that hard to switch if you want to

I don't get the appeal of a closed ecosystem/walled garden. Time and money should rather be spent on open protocols so that everything works flawlessly with everything else.

I wouldn't argue that the s24+ or ultra, or the pixel 8 pro are better than the iPhone. But I know which I enjoy using the most. And it's not iPhone.

Eh, I don’t think it’s that hard to switch phones. I have apps that are used for android & Apple, so I can switch to whatever phone fits my needs at the time. My only issue is there still isn’t a tablet out there that suits my needs as well as an iPad.

Switching phone OS is incredibly easy to the point that I've done it four times in the last year. I use my airpods no matter what phone i have. I think the gap for most iPhone users is actually quite small and my prediction is that Apple is going to find that out in the next couple years.

Apple isn’t slowly losing their way, they fully lost it around the same time that the M series launched. Hopefully they will find it again.

I just think that Apple is a company that does computing differently and people like that. Sure it’s not open source but it just works for most people. The physical quality of its products matters to the mass consumer more than specs ever will. They aren’t perfect but I definitely enjoy personally how little i have to spend to have their products up and running.

Time to change that hairstyle 😄

hahahaha! Can't wait!

As someone who has completely switched to their ecosystem after being fed up by Droids and Windows, for me they have.

The main reason I have stayed with apple is because I hate google and I'm not techy enough to try to get a linux phone or deal with graphene os or any of the others. I just want a phone. But gosh I hate google.

the quality of this video is actually insane. feels illegal to watch for free

Can’t deny that their long term marketing strategy was on point! But yeah, agreed!

I was a big of android back then. I bought my first iPhone 3G with my own money. I hated the apple fans for waiting an “iPhone” in front of the Apple Store. After buying it p, I understand now why people love the apple products. After this I bought my very first MacBook Pro late 2008. It changed my view to apple completely (positiv way). When I was 18Years old, I bought a iPhone 4a and then the iPhone 5. All the products from apple “just worked”. My dad not a big fan of apple bought his first iPhone (12mini) he likes the formfactor and the simple OS. I don’t think he will switch to android again 😂😂

coming from years of samsung and other androids, im also very bored with them expecting them to degrade after a few months or years. meanwhile all of my friends who have apple products even though some aren't up to the latest iOS version are still very fine with their iphones. now that i've reached a point that i can actually try owning an iphone i finally understood why. sure, it may not have the best of everything but it's got the right mixture of everything that you don't really think about it most of the time and you just integrate it with your life.

Yes.

"Does it matter whether you buy and iPhone or not." Yes. Yes it does. I work in the film industry and about 95% of my professional work contacts use iPhone. For some industries, you either use iPhone or get left behind. Granted, there are those that use android, but not a SINGLE person that a POC for work is on Android. I started off Android; I even had a Z Fold 4 which I then gave to my brother. The only reason why I stay with Apple is because of how encroaching it is in the higher life of American society. I want to reach that American Dream...unfortunately, it's hand and hand with Apple.

why does it matter though? And what's by your definition a POC?

I switched from Apple around 8 or more times ... in the end i just ended coming back , so i decided , no more switching , if something grabs my eyes.. well i will just ignore it , it will always be the same. Like the Apple watch , it is the best watch , no matter what others tell you , yes there are watches with batteries that will last you longer that 30 days but the Apple Watch , is the one that will give you better sensor , vibration and health data. I had from Galaxy watch 3 to 6 and Pixel watch 1 , Huawei Watch and the Xiaomi fit bit , nothing comes close. I understand that for some people battery and workout is most important . People that need to keep track on their health and pair their watch with medical devices like Qardio and Sibionics for blood sugar , will need Apple , since nothing else works with those devices , sure there are some apps and devices that work with Android and the Wear OS , however i found that 98% times , it either does not show the result and you will need to take a test again or it shows it but will give a false reading , like giving you 14 blood sugar when you have 8 , this is very dangerous. So yeah , i think Apple is better.

Yeah there are some very questionable quality products out there for sure! I get frustrated when switching a lot of the time, mainly because I switch so often, but I also really enjoy trying out all the different devices, it's really fun to see what every brand brings to the table and how they push tech forward 👍🏼

iPhone can't even fix alarm bug !!!

Do this test: Monitor what your Android phone pings vs what your iPhone pings. Your Android phone pings servers that would shock you. Apple is the only one with the *most* available privacy

I’ve always used windows, I just bought my first Mac. I must say i rather enjoy their laptop OS. I already have a iPhone, watch, iPad. But I’m don’t see myself as a “loyal fan”; I mostly genuinely enjoy their products. However, I refuse to buy each new version; they are the boss for anything art related, such as photography and drawing.

I think where I worked in tech, and always told myself that I *needed* the latest & fastest version, so I'd never run into an issue where the technology was holding me back. But that of course comes at a pretty big cost! It sounds like you have a much better hold on things than I did ;)

@@PeteMatheson it takes control for sure haha, I still have the iPhone 13 Pro Max, more than sufficient. And their M1 chip Macs are highly efficient for an average user. I bought the M3 because I'm getting back into photography and I got tired of the quirks of windows, definitely don't hate windows however. Apple's OS shortcuts can't be rivaled imo

iPhone all the way. It’s the simple things that keep me coming back. Apple HomeKit for one. It’s very easy to use and create automations. Having my HomePods and Apple TV act as hubs is brilliant. My family all have iPhones, we recently just purchased the MacBook Air M2. I couldn’t afford to switch to another phone even if I wanted too, as the iPhone is the glue that binds the Apple ecosystem.

If you like technology you will use Android/Windows otherwise apple is your choice because it gives you some advantages as easy to use for a starter user

Thanks for sticking around until the end! Feel like I should have shared a few more memories in that part but didn't want to stretch it on for too long and bored people 😁 Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment 🙏🏼

Well that just happens in america

I have the iPhone 15 Pro max and couldn’t be happier with it Some android phones take better photos probably but iOS for me is unbeatable

Absolutely! Each to their own, and I still think the iPhone is a superb phone 👌🏼

Not sure how the S24U is a much better phone lol better battery life, thermals, and brightness is really all that stands out to me. Oh and gpu performance but S23U already had surpassed apple. What’s actually impressive about the Samsung is ANDROID itself and what it allows
