00:00:01.920 --> 00:00:07.919
When I switched to the iPhone 16 for a month, I found plenty of things that I

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:12.160
loved about the experience. The screen, the notification handling, even the

00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:17.680
multi-app widgets. However, I didn't have the it just works experience

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:24.119
either. So, was the buggess and unintuitiveness a one-off for me? To

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:24.119
find out, I volunteers,

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:32.399
including my wife, to give the walled garden a shot. They got a $1,400 budget

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:36.559
to buy whatever iPhone they want along with any eye accessories they could

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:41.360
still afford and set them loose for a month to see if any of them would be

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:45.040
tempted by the delightful apples that

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:47.760
Tim has cooked up. And by goodness, did

00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:50.079
they ever have some feedback. Oh. Oh, finally.

00:00:48.559 --> 00:00:55.280
>> Sorry, I didn't see it ringing, sir. >> Don't call me sir. So, how's it going

00:00:53.120 --> 00:01:00.559
with our guinea pigs? Are they clamoring for their androids back yet? Actually,

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:04.320
no. I think all three are strongly considering switching to iPhone.

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:09.600
>> What? I cannot believe I'm not here to hear

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:12.240
about this in person again.

00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:15.760
>> Go talk to them. Find out every detail. >> Well, you heard the man. Tell me

00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:22.880
everything. >> Oh, sorry. >> One more thing. Get it? Cuz Apple

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:27.040
Dbrand, >> specifically their Ghost 2 case and

00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:30.640
Prism screen protector. The case is designed to offer amazing drop

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:34.240
protection while still being stylish and see-through, letting your Dbrand skin

00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:38.560
shine. And their Prism screen protector is also designed to be see-through so

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:41.920
that you can see your screen. And it protects your phone in case of any bumps

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:45.920
or bruises. Check them out by heading to I am very short.com, which by the way, I

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:50.320
don't even think it's that true. See, look. I can reach these black Hawthorne

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:55.240
berries almost. Ow. The blackberries are attacking me. Ow. Ow. My shins.

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:05.200
Every phone upgrade starts with the same thing, which is switching to a new

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:09.440
device. Whether you're going from iPhone to iPhone, Android to Android, or

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:12.720
crossing the ecosystem. And based on my quick conversation that I had with you

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:16.959
guys just a couple weeks ago, it seems that there was some struggles. Starting

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:20.879
with Justin and Natalie, you guys had some issues with your old Apple ID

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:25.360
accounts, either backing up some weird contacts on WhatsApp or you actually had

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:29.599
to recover your account. Tell me about that process. >> That was interesting because it was from

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:35.200
so long ago. I think the last time I used it was like 2014ish

00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:37.440
and it was linked to a really, really

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:41.280
old phone number. So, I had to figure out what that phone number was to begin

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:44.879
with, which was interesting. And I end up having to go through like multiple

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:48.560
different contacts to figure out someone that had my old number.

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.720
>> But were you able to recover it? >> Yes, I was able to recover it. So, luckily I didn't need access to the old

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:57.200
number. I just needed the old number. But for weird whatever reason, they

00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:00.080
didn't explain. It took 2 weeks for them to give me an answer on whether or not

00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:03.120
they were going to give me access to my account again. Like I get it probably

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:06.239
like for security reasons. They're probably like checking other avenues to

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:09.519
make sure that like, you know, this account actually isn't in active use and

00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:13.760
this person's just trying to get into their old account. But eventually I was able to get back in. So,

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:18.879
>> hey, at least you got it back. >> Yeah. >> And Natalie, you explained that it would seem to be backing up some old phone

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.680
numbers on your WhatsApp and wasn't bringing in over enough people or

00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:27.440
whatever. Your contacts when you >> It was bringing over like old contacts from like I had the iPhone, iPod touch

00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:31.200
like over like 10 years ago. So, I had those contacts come in, but none of my

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:34.799
actual contacts from my phone came in. >> Okay. I see. It's nice that Apple had

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:37.920
all that information, but in your case, it was not helpful. That was a really

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:42.319
loud ding. >> Yeah. How do you turn it off? Yeah, same problem.

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:46.000
>> Turn. >> I actually don't have sound on mine. I

00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:48.319
think maybe I turned it off, but mine just vibrates, so I'm okay with that.

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:53.200
But >> we're going to get into the hardware later, but that's really funny that it

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.040
interrupted us. Avon, how was your switch from Android to iPhone?

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:00.159
>> It was so painful. So, when you said some struggles, I made a face cuz I was

00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:03.040
like, that was not some struggle. So, I was like, and now that I've heard your

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:07.519
experience, I feel like yours was way worse. You couldn't even switch for 2 weeks. >> Oh, I just end up making a temporary

00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:10.959
account just so I could actually like do some stuff. And then once I was able to get back in, then I just signed in with

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.720
my normal fine. >> Okay. Well, it took me a couple days,

00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:19.199
too, but not because I couldn't recover my old um iPhone account. I had that.

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:22.240
But the issue I had was I tried to use the iOS transfer

00:04:20.799 --> 00:04:25.759
>> between the two and it just wouldn't work. I I don't know why. >> Were you doing it like over cable or

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:32.479
over the >> No, I was doing it over Wi-Fi. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Um because Well, I don't I don't

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:34.960
know why I did that. I just didn't do >> it was an option that it gives you, so

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:37.919
why wouldn't you try it? They just wasn't connecting to each other and I couldn't figure out which phone was the

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:41.360
problem. >> Got it. So, did you end up doing the transfer or

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:46.479
>> I just did it myself. >> Oh gosh, that must have been painful downloading all your apps and and

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:50.240
everything else. Speaking of apps, was there any apps for you guys that either

00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:55.919
didn't work or didn't come over? >> WhatsApp. >> WhatsApp. >> I was so mad. I didn't do WhatsApp

00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:59.120
first. I did it at the end. And what I didn't realize was that you have to go

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:01.919
through the I don't know what it's called, the iOS transfer process. And if

00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:05.919
you don't, your message history gets deleted. But I had set everything else

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.840
up and then I got to WhatsApp and it didn't prompt me and then the only way

00:05:08.320 --> 00:05:13.919
to do it is to reset your phone and reset it up again and I was like no.

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:18.160
>> So you just process you don't want to do it again. >> Yes. And so I lost my entire WhatsApp

00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:22.080
history which sucked. >> Terrible. Did anybody else have any

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:26.800
other app issues or was that the easy part? >> WhatsApp for me as well as like I did

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:30.080
the I think it was over Wi-Fi the iOS transfer the feature. I like oh this is

00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:35.199
kind of cool but it didn't really work. >> Like I still had to download a lot of apps. I forgot what apps, but I still

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:38.320
had to download manually through the app store to get the apps that were on my

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:42.400
phone. >> Yeah, that's that was the same thing with the apps. Like I had to manually

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:46.080
download them, but everything else transferred for me just fine. Like all

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:49.039
my text messages came over fine. My contacts came over fine, but I did mine

00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:53.199
through the cable. I didn't do the wireless transfer. >> Got it. Okay. Well,

00:05:51.039 --> 00:05:57.680
>> and then the other thing was with my WhatsApp. I have had that problem in my

00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:01.600
past going from Android to Android. So, I always back up my messages through

00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:04.319
WhatsApp first and then do the transfer and everything usually works out fine.

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:08.400
In this case, I didn't have a problem because I backed it up before starting the transfer.

00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.960
>> Lionus mentioned in part one that you were going to have specific issues with

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:18.160
one app. >> I think it was called business calendar. >> Yes. And it doesn't exist on the iPhone.

00:06:15.280 --> 00:06:21.120
So, I tried the Apple calendar app and then I tried the Google calendar app and

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:24.720
I hated them all. >> Okay. And I brought my old phone so I

00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:28.479
could show why because nobody seems to understand me when I say that it's a

00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:31.360
problem. Okay. So, for example, when I want to look at my week and I want to

00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:35.039
see what I've got planned today, I click on this and immediately on the business

00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:38.000
calendar, you can see all of my things for the day. >> Got it.

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:44.240
>> And it's sorted by all day events and time. In this one, it brought me to the

00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:45.840
actual day, like the single day. And all

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:51.600
of the stuff that's all day is at the top. And then I have to scroll for the

00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:53.360
entire rest of the day. And if I need to

00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:57.280
go see another day now, I have to click on that back >> and go back. Whereas this, I can just

00:06:55.840 --> 00:07:00.800
keep going next and I can literally see my entire week all at once. And this I

00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:05.120
have to go through every single day, scroll up and down. If I miss scrolling

00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:08.319
far enough, then I miss >> something.

00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.960
I realize how annoying calendar apps and tell you I seen that one. That is so

00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:15.039
much better. >> Yeah. So, when I'm on the call or when I'm on the phone with the doctor's

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:19.280
office trying to book an appointment, I'm like, "Oh, no. Monday doesn't work for me. How about this day or how about

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:24.080
this day?" It's so easy. >> So much easier. >> During your month though, how much of a

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.960
pain was that process? because I think Lina said that was going to be a deal

00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:30.960
breaker for you possibly. But >> yes, so it did waste a ton of time. I

00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:35.680
ended up using my computer a lot to reschedu things, which isn't the most

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:40.479
convenient, but there were other positive things about the iPhone that

00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:44.479
was time savers that it kind of made it feel like a wash at the end of the day.

00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:48.639
>> Got it. Was there any other parts of the setup? That's a really loud ding again.

00:07:46.479 --> 00:07:53.360
My goodness. Was there any other parts of the setup that was either a pro or a

00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:56.479
con from any of you? the setup for me because I had to download all these apps

00:07:54.800 --> 00:08:00.800
and I had to reorganize it. I was trying to mirror what my my phone was with how

00:07:59.599 --> 00:08:04.960
everything was organized. >> So like your widgets or Okay.

00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.680
>> Having to manually add them all back into a specific folder. That took so

00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:13.759
long. >> Got it. Okay. >> I can't just add apps from a list. I

00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:17.680
have to drag them all into the bubble >> one by one into >> It was so annoying.

00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:20.960
>> You're nodding your head in agreement. So Okay.

00:08:19.280 --> 00:08:23.919
I think that's the most painful thing for a lot of people whenever they go to

00:08:22.479 --> 00:08:28.160
a new phone. I mean, a lot of people will boast how great iPhone is because

00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:31.199
you can just do iCloud accounts and it basically mirrors it over. And I think

00:08:29.840 --> 00:08:36.159
Android's a lot of the same if you go from like Samsung to Samsung. But I want

00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.599
to rate it out of 10. Five is it was I don't know, middle of the road, average,

00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:43.839
about as normal as any other transfer. 10 is it was so much better. One, it was

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:46.800
terrible. Where would you guys rate this? >> One.

00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:52.080
>> Damn. >> I'm going to say one. >> All right. Hey, at least it's honest.

00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:54.959
I'm going to say one. Wow. Wow. Much harsher than our like iPhone users last

00:08:54.399 --> 00:09:00.240
time. >> I think I go a little bit higher than that. I'd say a five, but I kind of was

00:08:58.959 --> 00:09:04.480
expecting half of these things to come up. >> I do want to talk about the hardware

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:08.560
next. Both the iPhone and all of you got a watch as well. What were some of the

00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:12.080
pros of like the physical device, whether it's the screen, the battery?

00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:18.560
We'll start with Natalie here. >> Battery was really good for both the watch and the phone. Um the screen is

00:09:16.160 --> 00:09:20.959
great for both. Yeah, I think overall like positive experience like refresh

00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.480
rate was good. >> Yeah, I had all had a pro. So, you had

00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:28.080
120 Hz refresh rate. >> The speakers were nice. Like the audio

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.640
wise like just playing music if I don't have a boothy speaker around. I play

00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:35.040
that. It's actually pretty good. >> Nice. Okay, I'm on. >> Yeah, I had the same experience as

00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:38.399
Natalie with the phone. I actually didn't like my watch very much. I found

00:09:36.800 --> 00:09:42.640
it wasn't working. Like I would be literally in the middle of playing badminton and it would be like please

00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:47.200
stand up now or like please get exercise. It's like okay. Like if the

00:09:45.839 --> 00:09:51.760
whole point of all this is to be able to, you know, check my stats, well, I

00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:54.320
can't really rely on it. And for battery life, I don't know about yours, but mine

00:09:53.040 --> 00:10:00.320
lasted a day and a half, but that's really inconvenient because halfway through the next day, it dies. And so I

00:09:57.839 --> 00:10:03.040
have either half a day of not being able to use my watch or I charge it at night

00:10:01.680 --> 00:10:07.519
and then it doesn't monitor the sleep or do any of these other things. >> Yeah, that's interesting. I I had never

00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:13.519
thought of it from that perspective. Almost half a day is worse than if it just did one day cuz you had know you

00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:16.800
can consistently charge it. Justin, what were some pros for Uh yeah, the screen

00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:20.399
was definitely a massive upside and the fact that it's smaller than my other

00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:24.160
phone, which I don't have for comparison here, but yeah, fits in my pocket a lot

00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.880
better. I noticed I was dropping it a lot less, which was great.

00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:31.519
>> Do you think it's cuz of the size? >> Yes, 100%. And the weight.

00:10:28.959 --> 00:10:34.800
>> I 100% agree with you. I did not realize it, but that was one of the things I

00:10:32.959 --> 00:10:38.240
wanted to experiment with, and it it's true. >> Well, even if you did drop it,

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:41.760
thankfully Dbrand sent over those cases. >> Oh, yeah. No, they did great. >> These are awesome.

00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:44.720
>> I dropped mine probably the same amount as I dropped my other phone. I actually

00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:49.680
cracked the screen protector. >> Yeah, I cracked mine, too. I replaced mine before the shoot.

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.959
>> Okay. It didn't damage the phone, though, right? >> The phone is fine. It's just a screen protector that crack.

00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:58.480
>> Yeah, savior. We're good. >> Thanks, Dbrand. >> I think I tovon's point with the watch

00:10:56.800 --> 00:11:01.680
better cuz I charge mine overnight. I don't monitor my sleep and that's why I

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:05.279
was able to like have a full day with no problem. >> Yeah, that was the same too. Like every

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:08.880
night I just put my phone and the watch on the charger and wake up. They're both good to go kind of thing.

00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:12.640
>> Yeah, I see. Like if you need to monitor your sleep and use it during the day, I guess that is

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:15.839
>> I was just trying to use the different features. I was >> It's built in, so you might as well at

00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:19.920
least give it a try, right? >> Oh, I immediately shut it off. >> Oh, you didn't want it to track your

00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:24.560
sleep? >> Uh or any of the fitness stuff? It was the notifications were driving me

00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:28.320
absolutely bonkers. >> Oh, interesting. Okay. Was there any other notification issues with the watch

00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:33.279
or the phone? >> All the notifications worked and that was part of the problem. Well, what I

00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:36.399
was going to say was um when you do put them on a charger though, if you pick up

00:11:35.040 --> 00:11:40.399
your phone first and you start swiping things away, well, when you pick up your watch after, all of those same

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:44.240
notifications come back. >> Like when you swipe it away on your phone and it's still Yeah. Okay, that is

00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:48.640
true. I think >> so. You had that issue, too. >> Yeah. So, it's annoying. It just felt

00:11:46.800 --> 00:11:51.120
like duplicating. So, half the time I didn't even take my watch in the morning.

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:55.600
>> Another piece of hardware that I think all of you brought up was the camera and

00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:58.800
I think overall it was very positive. Avon, you actually mentioned you really

00:11:56.959 --> 00:12:02.399
like the uh the live videos. >> I do. I had never experienced that

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:05.920
before, but when I'm taking shots, like especially action shots, it was just so

00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:10.000
nice to capture that little moment and like my son was playing baseball and I

00:12:08.160 --> 00:12:12.800
was able to get like him actually swinging the ball, which was so cool.

00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:17.519
>> I do actually really like that feature from iPhone. I remember when it was announced, a lot of Android users did

00:12:15.680 --> 00:12:20.240
criticize it as almost pointless and seems weird, but it almost feels like

00:12:18.880 --> 00:12:24.320
just a little moment in time that you get to rewatch again, right? >> Okay. My question though is how do you

00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:28.160
watch it on the computer? because I downloaded all my photos and it just

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:32.800
shows up as a separate file and I couldn't actually see it. Do I need to have an Apple computer to be able to do

00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:38.079
that? >> I'll throw the instructions on screen because I don't know off the top of my

00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:42.639
head and that's a good thing cuz I just said send me the video for the edits and

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:45.920
I hope I can include it now. >> I will say doesn't Android also have

00:12:44.560 --> 00:12:49.440
that feature? At least the Samsung like you can turn on the Pixel have that too.

00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:55.519
You just have to turn it on. >> There is now a feature with it. I believe it was iPhone first. I can be

00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:59.440
corrected if I'm wrong, but it is now a thing. And as the industry does, when

00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:01.839
iPhone does something, Android moves towards it. Like no headphones,

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:06.800
>> the other way around, you know, sometimes. But >> that's true. Is there anything that was

00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:10.800
on your Android phone from a feature-wise hardware that you kind of

00:13:08.800 --> 00:13:12.959
missed on your iPhone, whether it's the placement of the buttons or the power

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:18.160
button? >> I missed the back button. >> Yep. Back button. >> Got it.

00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:21.040
>> Ah, cuz it felt like the back button was always moving depending on which app I

00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:23.760
was in, >> which sucks. I like it just always being

00:13:22.880 --> 00:13:28.959
in the same spot. >> So, you use the three buttons instead of gestures. Did any of you guys try

00:13:27.040 --> 00:13:32.320
gestures on the iPhone? Whether it's >> Well, I I did use gestures, too. Okay.

00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:35.360
>> It just wasn't as convenient sometimes. >> Got it. You like that always in the same

00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:40.160
spot. You know where to hit it kind of thing. >> Yeah. >> One other hardware thing was I kind of

00:13:38.160 --> 00:13:43.120
joked about lack of headphone jack or whatever. Justin, you actually mentioned

00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:48.480
you really like the Bluetooth. For some reason, the Bluetooth was just like blackmagic for you.

00:13:45.839 --> 00:13:51.440
>> Yeah. I have no idea how it was that good cuz I got the Beats Buds. I think

00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:56.959
they were. >> Yeah, that was part of your purchase. >> Yeah. And I was able to put my phone

00:13:54.639 --> 00:14:02.079
down at my desk and go walk clear across the warehouse, walk outside, and the

00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:04.959
audio didn't cut out whatsoever. It was actually crazy.

00:14:03.199 --> 00:14:08.320
>> Well, there you go. That's definitely a positive. Is there any other final

00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:10.639
comments or cons that you want to come up with for the hardware of either

00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:16.160
device? >> I don't like the camera button. >> You don't like the camera button

00:14:13.760 --> 00:14:19.440
>> to open the app? Sure is convenient, but I've never I've tried it once to

00:14:18.079 --> 00:14:23.519
actually take a picture, but because of the actuation,

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:26.720
>> it just it just ruins. >> Got it. Did any of you guys get to try

00:14:24.959 --> 00:14:30.480
the shutter button and use it? >> Yes. Um, I didn't mind it. Uh, I found

00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:34.480
the touch was a little bit hard to get used to. I don't know how much that was

00:14:32.160 --> 00:14:37.680
because of the Dbrand case, but they claimed that it's compatible with it, so

00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:42.800
I'm assuming it would be the same whether or not >> it was like that. But with that being

00:14:39.839 --> 00:14:47.760
said, the telephoto lens on that camera was actually crazy. You see, I was out

00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:50.160
in the mountains out in Hope there. But you see that little spot there?

00:14:49.920 --> 00:14:56.399
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> That's zoomed in with the telephoto lens.

00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.639
>> So, that was really cool to be able to shoot like really far off into a

00:14:57.760 --> 00:15:04.480
distance like that. >> Yeah. >> So, I was really annoyed by it because

00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.519
you double click to open um what's it

00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:09.120
called? What is this thing called? >> Apple Pay. >> Apple Pay. Thank you. But then when you

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:13.360
double click the camera, you accidentally take a photo. >> Oh, I see. So, even the amount of times

00:15:12.079 --> 00:15:15.920
you probably accidentally like took a photo of your desk or something.

00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:22.560
>> My shoes. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Awesome. Okay. So, we're going to rate it again out of 10. Five is the hardware

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.240
is on par with your Android. 10 is it's much better. One is it's much worse.

00:15:24.560 --> 00:15:30.160
Where does the scale lie? >> I would say seven.

00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.760
>> Seven. Cuz you enjoyed it overall more than your Android.

00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:38.000
>> Um, I would say about a 6 and a half. >> Okay. A little bit more. Eight. Wow. The

00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:42.320
highest score so far again. Okay. We're going to get into the iOS and the

00:15:39.680 --> 00:15:47.519
software side of things for both the watch and the iPhone. Was there any

00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:51.120
immediate pros and cons when you started using iOS 18?

00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:55.759
>> Oh, I loved Face ID. >> Face ID. Yeah. So fast. I love it.

00:15:54.160 --> 00:16:01.360
>> Just for unlocking the phone when you first pick it up or whatever. >> Or for apps like um banking apps or just

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:04.480
whatever. Just general login. It was so nice. >> Got it. And you you're nodding

00:16:02.880 --> 00:16:07.360
agreement. Face ID as well. >> Yeah, pretty fast. >> That's great. Is there anything else

00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:13.360
that stands out? >> Um, the other thing that I really found better was the voice to text. It was so

00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:16.160
much more accurate and even when I was saying things and it was getting it

00:16:14.880 --> 00:16:21.680
wrong at the beginning, based on the rest of the sentence, it was correcting it after the fact, which was so nice.

00:16:19.199 --> 00:16:25.440
>> Oh, that's nice. Kind of adjust it. >> I was able to actually use it, which is

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:30.480
really different than here. Like I just gave up using it on here. >> The watch app integration was a lot

00:16:28.959 --> 00:16:34.800
better than on the Android side. Okay. >> So, for getting in and out of the building using the ubiquity app, there

00:16:33.199 --> 00:16:37.199
wasn't a Ubiquity app on the Android side. So now I can actually get in and

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:41.440
out of the building using the watch, which is so much more convenient, especially

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:44.639
>> on the Android watch side is what you're talking about. Okay. Okay. So you had it

00:16:42.959 --> 00:16:47.519
on your iPhone watch. Perfect. You mentioned uh speech to text. Did any of

00:16:46.560 --> 00:16:54.560
you guys have any issues with the keyboard? Cuz I know some people don't like the keyboard. Everyone's

00:16:52.160 --> 00:16:57.839
unanimous agreement here. You seem the most passionate. We'll start with

00:16:55.680 --> 00:17:01.680
Justin. I get why they did it because of the rounded corners at the bottom, but

00:16:59.839 --> 00:17:05.520
my finger placement is always wrong cuz I always want to be towards the bottom

00:17:03.040 --> 00:17:09.679
cuz I'm used to a square phone and I always type off the screen or I hit like

00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:14.480
the period button when I don't want to or I accidentally hit the space bar and

00:17:11.600 --> 00:17:17.280
my sentences look all stupid. >> You're nodding in agreement. Did you

00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:21.919
struggle with the same thing? >> Yeah, pretty much. And then I'm sure if you bring up my text history with

00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:27.439
anybody, you'll see there's always a space before exclamation marks or question marks or anything like that.

00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:31.200
cuz you're just so used to double space for the period, but then you forget for

00:17:29.679 --> 00:17:37.280
all the other things. Yeah. >> The keyboard for me, so I have numbers

00:17:34.320 --> 00:17:39.679
on the top of the row with the letters >> on your Samsung.

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:43.039
>> Yeah, on the Samsung. So if I needed to type letter numbers, it's so convenient.

00:17:41.919 --> 00:17:47.360
It's right there, but I have to switch it every time. So that was my

00:17:45.679 --> 00:17:51.280
>> When you're in accounting, that is a huge thing. >> Yeah, you're dealing with numbers as a

00:17:50.080 --> 00:17:57.840
job. So >> the camera, I know I talked to you about this before. It doesn't remember the

00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:03.440
setting that I had it in. So if I wanted to take a photo in like 16 by9, I had to

00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:05.200
always go change it to 16 by9. It was

00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:08.160
always defaulting to 4x3. Even though we changed the setting, it doesn't it

00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:12.160
actually remembers which mode I was in. So video or photo or portrait. That's

00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:15.600
what that setting was for. >> So you felt like you had to manually adjust your camera every time you wanted

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:19.600
to take a photo. >> That was very annoying. >> I have that problem with my car. It

00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:23.679
starts at the beginning at the beginning of my playlist every single time.

00:18:21.760 --> 00:18:26.960
>> Really? When with the Apple CarPlay? Yeah, >> such a weird niche bug that I wouldn't

00:18:25.600 --> 00:18:30.320
have Maybe it's a feature. Maybe it wants you to start the playlist over.

00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:34.960
>> I don't know, but I'm sick of Hamilton at this point.

00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:39.200
>> And I loved that. So, that sucks. >> Now, one thing that was a nice thing

00:18:37.360 --> 00:18:43.120
that has changed over the years is the customization. I was able to download

00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:46.640
Google Keyboard and use that instead, which was slightly better, but still had

00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:48.720
the same issue of the positioning. >> Did you guys download any sort of custom

00:18:48.080 --> 00:18:53.280
keyboard or >> No, I downloaded Swift Key, which is what I usually use on Android, but I

00:18:51.840 --> 00:18:56.240
don't remember why. I just gave up partway through. I'm sorry.

00:18:55.280 --> 00:19:01.039
>> I don't know why. >> Hey, that's >> maybe maybe I was trying to commit and trying to use it properly. I don't know.

00:18:59.600 --> 00:19:05.200
>> And that's all I can ask for for this month was that you guys tried to commit

00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:09.280
to using the iPhone. Was there any other pros or cons that you guys found with

00:19:07.360 --> 00:19:13.280
the iOS experience in general? iPhone users always talk about how amazing it

00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:17.039
is to AirDrop or transfer files or anything. Did you guys get to try that

00:19:15.280 --> 00:19:20.480
at all? Cuz you have a MacBook at home, right? Yeah, I did end up trying some of

00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:23.679
the features out just to see what they do because like I don't use my MacBook a

00:19:21.919 --> 00:19:27.200
whole lot, but I figured just for this I would try it. And yeah, like the AirDrop

00:19:25.600 --> 00:19:30.559
stuff, everything worked fine. Tried cop copying over photos, couple videos,

00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:34.720
stuff like that. But yeah, everything seemed to work just fine. >> Did you guys get to try anything? Cuz we

00:19:33.520 --> 00:19:39.919
didn't really have like a MacBook to test with, for example. So, >> no. Um, and I think that was part of my

00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:43.120
problem is that I don't know very many people in the Apple ecosystem, so I

00:19:41.600 --> 00:19:46.960
didn't actually get to benefit from that. >> Yeah. Cuz one of the things you

00:19:45.120 --> 00:19:50.640
discovered in part one was if you brought the two iPhones close together,

00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:54.240
you can actually like transfer contacts between each other and I guess no one

00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:57.520
got to experiment with that. >> Um, no, not with that, but FaceTime is

00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:01.360
pretty sweet being able to FaceTime with my sister and my niece and nephew and stuff like that. So that that was cool

00:19:59.919 --> 00:20:05.200
>> cuz they all had iPhones and whatever. Yeah. Did you guys get to try a FaceTimed at all?

00:20:03.280 --> 00:20:08.880
>> No, because the same thing Apple uh Apple ecosystem. If I don't have other

00:20:07.120 --> 00:20:12.720
people on it, then I can't try it. >> It does seem like a limiting factor. I

00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:17.200
think I actually have like majority of my friends have iPhone but I I don't use

00:20:15.280 --> 00:20:21.280
the airdrop cuz we have a WhatsApp group so it's we already have a system in

00:20:19.280 --> 00:20:24.320
place right so I didn't have to yeah I didn't have to like FaceTime just use

00:20:23.360 --> 00:20:28.159
WhatsApp call right >> if anybody else has any final comments though whether it what what would it be

00:20:27.840 --> 00:20:34.320
about >> I tried out the public beta of iOS 26 >> I didn't ask that because I didn't think

00:20:31.840 --> 00:20:37.440
anyone was going to try iOS 26 >> I did it on I updated on Thursday

00:20:36.159 --> 00:20:41.600
>> okay what are your thoughts >> uh so far so good it because it's a beta

00:20:39.919 --> 00:20:45.120
it is lacking like the, you know, the Apple polish. Everything works super

00:20:43.280 --> 00:20:48.240
smooth, but I do really like the look of it. It does look much nicer.

00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:51.200
>> Did you try like the liquid glass stuff? >> Yeah, that's what that's what I have on right now. And yeah, it's really pretty

00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:54.559
actually. >> Someone who liked liquid glass. >> Yeah. So, it's all like transparent and

00:20:54.000 --> 00:21:00.480
stuff like that now. >> See, you could do that with your Android. >> Yeah, you could

00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:03.440
a long time ago. >> Dynamic Island. I don't get the point of

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.480
it. >> Oh, >> I don't like it. >> You put a pet on it though. You said it

00:21:06.159 --> 00:21:12.559
was >> I don't really see a much use of it. Like if they put notification icons

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:15.360
there, sure. But it's just a black notch there that I don't really see.

00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:20.000
>> But you can like click into it and like do a bunch of customization stuff. Did you get to try that?

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:24.720
>> No. Like I click it and it doesn't do anything. But >> it's supposed to like open and show you

00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:29.840
your music that's playing or >> Well, I can swipe down. That happens.

00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:31.679
>> I do agree. It is quite an ugly eyesore.

00:21:29.840 --> 00:21:35.360
It's quite large on the phone screen. Did you guys have any other issues or

00:21:33.360 --> 00:21:38.400
experiences with dynamic island? Um, I was actually trying to do what Natalie

00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:42.000
was doing and do like a little dumb pet thing. There was like a little Pokemon

00:21:39.760 --> 00:21:46.880
one or whatever, but like 90% of the apps seemed like scams.

00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:50.320
>> Oh, speaking of apps, when you guys downloaded things from the app store, did you notice you can't sort by rating

00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:53.280
when you're just searching for something? >> I never sorted.

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:58.320
>> Oh, >> you can't sort by rating. >> No. Is that a me thing or is that an

00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:02.080
>> I think that's a fair thing. If you're looking for a specific type of app, you

00:22:00.320 --> 00:22:05.440
want to search by rating. What was an example? Um I I wanted to download

00:22:03.679 --> 00:22:07.280
Suduku and I didn't have one already. So I was trying to find the best one.

00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:11.840
>> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Did it give you like most downloads? Did it give you high like what was the

00:22:11.520 --> 00:22:17.360
order? >> I don't remember. Okay. Let's let me see. >> Speaking of downloading apps, I found it

00:22:16.159 --> 00:22:21.760
annoying where you have to double click the home button just to download the app.

00:22:19.919 --> 00:22:26.000
>> You can't just click get and it will download. >> That was one. >> It's not paid. It's a free app. So why

00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:30.559
do I have to confirm with my face? Right. >> Got it. That was kind of thing that kind

00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:33.840
of annoyed me with the um Apple Pay is you'd put it near it and then be like

00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:39.360
double click to confirm pay and then you have to like look over and get the P sign to work. Yeah.

00:22:37.919 --> 00:22:45.280
>> Okay. No, it's not sorted by most downloaded. So there's one that has

00:22:41.760 --> 00:22:45.600
246,000 then 27 then 89.

00:22:45.280 --> 00:22:48.960
>> Okay. >> Then 504 then 7.7. It's all over the

00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:54.480
place. >> But you can't change the sorting to be by no >> highest rated. iPhone's telling you

00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:57.280
which one to download. The one at the bottom >> pretty much. But the one at the top is

00:22:56.080 --> 00:23:01.200
an ad supported one. >> Oh, there you go. >> Well, that's why they're that's that's

00:22:59.520 --> 00:23:07.360
why they're telling you to download that one. >> The multitasking window, the fact that

00:23:03.760 --> 00:23:09.200
there's no close all button, stupid.

00:23:07.360 --> 00:23:12.720
>> And so, like I went to try and find like another see if there was a solution for

00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:17.440
that. And most of the Reddit comments range from you're stupid. You don't know

00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:19.600
what you need for your phone to too bad, so sad.

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.559
>> Just the small things. But it's like the small things get to you that it affects

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:27.360
your >> Mhm. I guess that's a good question to

00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:32.799
ask. Then overall, how would you guys compare iPhone ecosystem or the iOS

00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:36.400
experience to Android? We'll use our same scale. Five is the exact same. 10

00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:40.159
is it's better, one is it's worse. >> Three. >> Three. So, just a little bit worse.

00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:46.159
>> Actually, I'll bring it down to two. >> Okay. >> Quite a bit more worse.

00:23:43.360 --> 00:23:46.880
>> Um, I'd probably say a five and a half. >> Okay.

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:52.480
>> Yeah. >> So, overall, you think iOS was just a touch better?

00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:57.440
>> Yeah. But I also noticed that the week that I switched, um, my Android got an

00:23:55.440 --> 00:24:00.000
update that mimicked some of the same gestures and things like that that the

00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:03.919
iPhone did. >> So, I don't know. For me, the biggest

00:24:02.159 --> 00:24:06.159
factor was Face ID. That really was It saved so much time. That's what put it

00:24:05.679 --> 00:24:11.600
over. >> Did it make up the time for business calendar? >> It did.

00:24:09.120 --> 00:24:14.400
>> Wow. That's very interesting. Okay, Justin, your rating.

00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:17.679
>> Yeah, just like as a complete ecosystem together with the watch, the headphones

00:24:15.760 --> 00:24:22.720
that I got, everything say probably about 7 half, eight. Honestly, I got it.

00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:26.480
All worked really well for me. I didn't have too many issues this whole time.

00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:30.000
>> There you go. That's fantastic. The overall final learnable lesson, just

00:24:28.159 --> 00:24:33.440
like our iPhone users when they tried Android, was it's not the end of the

00:24:31.679 --> 00:24:38.159
world to switch. It's just kind of a pain in the butt to switch and then over

00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:41.840
time you either get used to it or it's a one-time pain because you have to

00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:45.840
redownload stuff. Is that a fair kind of comment to make? Just like last time,

00:24:43.919 --> 00:24:51.200
Lionus had an offer. He offered our iPhone users to permanently switch to

00:24:47.919 --> 00:24:52.559
Android if they give up their iPhone.

00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:57.200
I'm going to give you guys the same offer. You're no longer allowed to use

00:24:54.640 --> 00:25:01.360
your Android, but you can keep your watch and your iPhone. Are you guys on

00:24:59.919 --> 00:25:04.640
board with that, or do you really want to go back to Android?

00:25:03.360 --> 00:25:08.320
>> I'm going back to my Android. >> You're going back to Android? Really?

00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:12.000
That's so interesting cuz when we did our one-on-one like a week and a half

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:15.840
ago, you were pretty on the fence about it. So, >> if I were to say yes right now, it's

00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:20.559
because it's a newer phone and not because it's iPhone necessarily. I would

00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:25.200
I'm still team Android after the 30 days here. So, >> I think that's a fair comparison. Avon,

00:25:23.600 --> 00:25:31.120
>> for me, the biggest pain is the switching and to have to switch back and

00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:34.720
like I really don't want to. And the dayto-day like there's pros and cons.

00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:39.120
Like I weighed them almost equally, right? So, for me it's a coin flip and I

00:25:37.600 --> 00:25:44.799
was literally going to flip a coin. Should we do >> right now? Do it.

00:25:42.320 --> 00:25:47.039
I actually have a coin in my purse. >> I didn't actually expect this coin to

00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:50.799
flip. >> Android. >> Now we have to decide. Is it is heads

00:25:49.919 --> 00:25:57.360
What's heads? What's tails? >> I don't know. You tell me. >> All right. Heads is Android.

00:25:55.520 --> 00:26:01.600
>> Okay. >> Heads. >> She's going back to Android, which means

00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:06.000
you have to go through the pain of switching again. >> Maybe you'll rate it better this time. I

00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:11.200
don't know. Maybe. Maybe. >> That's so funny. All right. Well, Justin, you're the iPhone's last hope.

00:26:09.679 --> 00:26:17.120
Are you wanting to permanently switch to iPhone? >> I'm going to switch. >> There you go. Wow. You know what's funny

00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:22.720
is the predictions were Lionus was like, "No, Justin will definitely not switch."

00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:27.039
And said no to Avon as well because of business calendar, but you left it up to

00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:31.279
random chance. And he thought if anyone was going to switch, it was going to be

00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:34.880
you and you didn't switch. So, that's a very, very, very funny final conclusion,

00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:39.520
but thank you guys for trying iPhone for a month. >> Oh, thank you. >> Thanks. I think Lionus is going to be a

00:26:37.840 --> 00:26:43.279
bit shocked with how our final results ended up turning out, considering how

00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:46.559
much of a poor experience he had when he switched to the iPhone. But just because

00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:51.600
he didn't enjoy it doesn't mean he shouldn't protect his phone. And thanks to Dbrand and their Ghost case, you too

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:55.200
can get up to 12 ft of drop protection with their slim design and 100%

00:26:53.679 --> 00:26:58.240
guarantee that it will never turn yellow. They're so confident in that

00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:01.440
that they think you will die before that ever happens. And if you want a little

00:26:59.760 --> 00:27:05.760
bit more protection, be sure to pick up their idiot proof Prism 2 screen

00:27:03.760 --> 00:27:09.520
protector and finish off your phone with a custom skin as well. Avon, they

00:27:08.080 --> 00:27:15.520
actually have a new URL. Can you tell the people what it is? >> My husband is very short.com.

00:27:13.840 --> 00:27:18.720
>> If you guys enjoyed this video, go check out part one where these guys actually

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:22.640
got to shop for which iPhone they were going to pick. Or you can go back a

00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:26.720
couple months when we asked iPhone users to try Android. That was also a two-part
