iPhone to Android – 1 year later

Well it'' s been over a year currently because i changed.
from utilizing an iPhone as my key mobile gadget to utilizing an android device especially the.
Pixel 4 xl and in this video clip i'' m going to walk you through one why i switched over to what i like.
about android far better than iphone 3 what are some things i miss out on concerning making use of iOS and after that i'' m going. to take you with why a person may wish to switch over in between phone os'' s just how simple is it to change in. between android and iphone and'after that i ' ll walk you with my decision making process on whether.
or otherwise i'' m mosting likely to stick to android or if i'' m going to switch back to iphone let'' s dive in so why.
did i originally switch over to a Pixel 4 xl in 2015 and move from my apple iphone a pair of reasons one.
as part of the team Pixel influencer program i obtain the most up to date Pixels from google and i was curious to.
see what utilizing one as my major phone would certainly be like 2 i was tired of the exact same fundamental customer interface.
of the apple iphone that hadn'' t changed all that much throughout the years it was just a grid of apps you had.
numerous pages that you had to scroll through or simply folders everywhere and i was simply tired of.
it i wanted something that felt new and fresh and android supplies that to a specific extent finally.
i intended to use a phone that had the google aide as the default assistant i predominantly.
use google solutions since i locate them incredibly useful they'' re fantastic and they function directly with.
the google assistant that integration is just tighter than what you get with Siri and at the.
time that i changed the google aide could play music and media from Spotify and youtube.
songs which even today Siri can'' t do you have to add the phrase on Spotify or on youtube songs.
when asking Siri to play music from those services so when i ultimately obtained the Pixel 4 xl last year it.
had enough of the experience i desired where i was like all right i'' m gon na ultimately do it i'' m switching. to an android device so what do i really enjoy regarding android well initial part of it is it'' s simply. a bit various from iphone in its individual experience when you'' ve been making use of the very same software year. after year often you simply want a change you wish to make it really feel fresh that'' s at the very least just how. i felt towards android when i switched i discover the notification system in android is much better.
it'' s easier to promptly swipe away notifications they'' re instantly sorted right into conversations.
your regular alerts and after that quiet notices which i think is truly wise likewise.
being able to set certain calls through apps like messenger messages and so on as a concern get in touch with.
so they appear on top and you absolutely obtain notified anytime they message you is actually.
smart the google assistant is quicker on the Pixel specifically and does a great deal of the processing for.
your demands on the gadget itself which allows google to apply some rather awesome attributes.
like telephone call display where the assistant will screen inbound telephone calls from unknown numbers or it'' ll wait.
on hold for you when you call customer assistance for a business and will certainly notify you when the consumer.
support person is there the telephone call screen feature basically eliminated all spam calls from sounding.
my phone which was a huge advantage another thing i love regarding android is its combination with google.
cast devices like google nest speakers and audio speaker teams at the os degree like when you cast from.
google podcasts to a google nest speaker team and after that no issue where you are in the phone'' s. ui if you hit either the volume up or down switch it'' ll control the volume of the speaker group.
you'' re spreading to i utilize my google speakers to play songs and podcasts frequently especially throughout.
the pandemic so this attribute has actually been truly nice to have android still has much better personalized.
choices on their home display you'' re not forced to have an app at the top left corner like you are.
on iOS which i appreciate android also has an application cabinet which i located to be a much better UX layout.
choice than compeling everyone to just have web pages of grids of applications or require you to put apps right into a.
lots of folders currently iphone 14 has actually considerably closed the space in terms of home display modification.
with the brand-new app collection feature widgets and the ability to have a clean home display also some.
of google'' s own widgets are nicer on iOS than they are on android so there'' s definitely much less of. a difference in between their two than there made use of to be a couple of various other points i really like about.
android are those little app icons that appear on top left corner of the display letting you.
know that you have a notification from that application generally i simulate that android is an extra.
open os i'' m able to personalize it more and i can easily download things beyond the play.
shop if i dream to though in truth i do have to admit i generally downloaded whatever i.
have on my android phone through the play store which is had by google so in truth i'' ve just. utilized my android phone exactly just how i would use an apple iphone where i would certainly download whatever simply.
through the application shop which apple possesses wise lock is a feature that i'' ve actually concerned enjoy on. android it permits you to maintain your phone opened when it'' s attached to a certain bluetooth.
tool when android identifies it'' s still on you'or when you ' re at a specific area like your home.
finally motions are really wonderful in android though practically they'' re obtained from iOS however i discovered.
them to work well and i much like them over the previous common android buttons now mentioning.
iOS let'' s chat about what i do miss concerning using an apple iphone taking into consideration i still have several.
apple devices around that i make use of like my iMac my brand-new iPad Air my apple watch there are some.
things i most definitely miss out on regarding utilizing an iPhone the initial one is airdrop there'' s just not a. great comparison on android that'' s as easy to make use of as airdrop to relocate data wirelessly in between.
my phone and mac handoff is an additional attribute i miss out on with the apple iphone being able to have a certain.
app open and afterwards get where i ended on it on my mac behaved though with android i''
ve. adapted to just utilizing mostly google'' s applications which have real-time cloud back-up so i put on'' t miss out on this. feature as a lot as i thought i would certainly plus android and chrome sync so you can review a short article on.
your phone and get where you left off in the chrome browser on your mac though i still assume.
handoff is a little bit easier to make use of and more sleek video recording is something that iOS and the.
iPhone do really well and basically far better than virtually any kind of various other android gadget i'' ve either seen.
or utilized especially the Pixel and as someone that'' s very bought video clip i wear'' t always have my. fancy Sony camera that'' s taping me today anywhere with me all the time when i intend to.
shoot video clip yet i typically always have my phone with me to make sure that'' s most definitely been something i ' ve. missed out on regarding the iPhone i have missed its video recording abilities last point i miss regarding iOS.
generally are for some apps their iphone variations are still nicer to use and created better than.
on android still it shouldn'' t be that method and luckily a lot of the moment i didn'' t notice. that much of a distinction yet sometimes the distinction is still there alright so that'' s what. i like concerning android and what i miss out on concerning iOS now you'' re possibly wondering with phones like the.
Pixel 5 the apple iphone 12 the iPhone 12 professional and 12 professional max appearing this year if i'' m mosting likely to stick.
with android or if i'' m mosting likely to switch back to iOS and i ' m asking yourself the very same point myself i.
have actually not made any decisions on that yet however i have a hunch it'' s going to come. down to the camera capabilities of either the apple iphone or the Pixel let me discuss.
when the apple iphone was initially revealed back in 2007 Steve Jobs infamous keynote introduced the.
apple iphone as a vast screen ipod with touch controls an innovative smart phone and an innovation.
net interactions gadget the apple iphone did turn out to be that leapfrog product Steve Jobs desired.
it to be and arguably one of one of the most important tech items ever before released today though 13 years.
after the launch of apple iphone how would certainly you describe what a mobile phone does and must be in 2020 for.
me it should be a terrific communications tool net web browser songs and media player and.
a qualified still photography and video cam since last group has ended up being progressively.
essential these past couple of years to a great deal of individuals around and that'' s why phones like the Pixel and. the iPhone ' s electronic cameras in terms of still photography are so extremely related to with the most recent releases of.
android 11 and iphone 14 i believe it'' s end up being obvious that both operating systems have actually gotten to a.
regular level of maturity and security much less and much less is altering with them every year.
and both operating systems in my point of view are now more similar than they'' ve ever been. when checking out their ui and ux experience to me minus a few edge instances like with aide.
telephone call testing or imessage both os represent quite equivalent experiences when it.
involves making a phone an interactions gadget internet web browser and music slash media player.
however the still and video clip catching abilities of each operating system hinge on their.
software but also heavily depend on the electronic camera equipment too considering that i live and breathe video cameras.
and video that'' s likely mosting likely to be the making a decision consider which phone i go with this year plus.
the capacity to have an accessory environment that just easily incorporates with the phone that.
i choose now when i initially changed to android i did miss obtaining phone calls and notices on my.
apple watch and i desired something like AirPods that were just easy to couple with my android phone.
and simply worked actually well but throughout the past year i'' ve been able to get a relatively.
comparable experience with my Pixel Buds which i love and the Fitbit feeling smart watch i chose up.
about a month earlier so the camera capabilities are mosting likely to be my making a decision variable for which system.
and phone i determine to go with this year now if you put on'' t treatment all that much about taking images or.
videos with your mobile phone the formula wherefore platform and what gadget you opt for is mosting likely to.
look unbelievably various from my own now exist various other situations that we should cover below also.
indeed if you'' re a major mobile gamer you ' re likely going to skew towards iphone due to apple'' s. exceptional hardware and games environment or if you really like to play with innovation and you.
want to phone in an insane variety of type aspects like folding flip phones or whatever the heck.
lg is doing android will likely be your system of choice currently if you'' re like me and you like both. operating systems for different factors and you'' re gon na occur to have multiple gadgets around that.
usage either os or if you just plan on changing from iphone to android or android to iOS and you.
need to know exactly how very easy it is to in fact switch in between these two mobile operating systems well.
the bright side is if you'' re switching apps and data from significant companies and solutions like google.
facebook Spotify, Evernote you understand etc you'' re going to be great nevertheless some apps wear'' t button. as well in between operating systems like take what'' s app as an example which supports to iCloud on.
iOS however on android it backs up to google drive so changing between os and trying to.
move your information back-ups over to an additional platform is in fact truly tough plus you can just.
have WhatsApp mounted on a single tool connected to your telephone number versus other facebook items.
like instagram messaging or facebook messages which are backed up and saved to facebook'' s cloud.
and can be accessed on numerous tools at the same time another concern i had when changing from iOS to.
android was combining iphone contacts with google get in touches with i already had contacts in google.
get in touches with from other resources like gmail so depending upon the amount of get in touches with you have in iOS and.
the amount of of them already exist in google contacts when you actually do that combine just be prepared.
to do some cleaning all right so after a year of making use of android what are my thoughts well generally.
i'' ve assumed the experience of using android has actually been pretty great i like android a.
lot more as an os than i assumed i would certainly going in particularly the Pixel version it'' s. just a pleasure to make use of and it'' s a lot more like iOS in its motions and overall customer experience than.
i would certainly have assumed now while this year video capabilities are likely going to be the making a decision.
consider what phone i make a decision to get and make use of as my primary phone the lucky thing for me is.
because i testimonial numerous tech products and i like using both of these running systems i''
ll. have tools around that i'' ll heavily make use of that usage both android and iphone so it'' s truly for me.
at the very least like i put on'' t actually have to make a difficult selection between them i can use both of.
them it'' s like a best of both globes point now obviously that'' s not mosting likely to hold true for.
everyone however, for me personally that will be my uh situation so well that'' s it for this video if you suched as.
this video clip and discovered it useful and valuable see to it you struck that thumbs up switch below.
and register for the channel to see more video clips on apple and google items similar to this one for six.
months later i'' m Josh Teder, many thanks for seeing.
