welcome back to coping with your iphone

3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:25,519
james how do you deal with all the useless seldom used or bloatware apps

4
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:29,279
that clutter up your home screen great question well you know it's really

5
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:34,000
no problem all i do is i put them all into one folder that i call useless

6
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:39,520
garbage and then i just never go in there again and it only takes up one

7
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:43,280
square on my home screen one square one

8
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,600
just one wow that's great and and how

9
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:50,480
about you riley well that's a great method but what i do is i put all my

10
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:53,920
useless apps on their own special page in the back and i just never swipe them

11
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:59,680
it just doesn't ever go there nope you don't have to look at it at all it's

12
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:01,600
like it's not there that's terrific

13
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:06,720
oh please oh thank you iphones are just they're so easy to use

14
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:12,560
aren't they yeah oh that's great join us again next week

15
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,360
when i'll be sharing my favorite dongle recipes

16
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:23,840
i'm just kidding you guys we did a video on 10 reasons iphones are better and now

17
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,840
Android's getting the same treatment after this message from our sponsor

18

21
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:53,040
so once again we've leaned on our community to compile our list and

22
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:57,200
surprise surprise the number one most commonly cited perk of Android is

23
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,680
customization not only does Android let you

24
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:06,560
put your app icons wherever you want including places you can actually reach

25
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:11,520
use non-hamstrung third-party keyboards a swiftkey on iOS is just truly awful

26
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:16,560
and change your default browser to something other than safari it even lets

27
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:21,599
you change what's called the launcher which is basically how your desktop

28
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:25,520
looks and feels for example the google pixel launcher has the app drawer

29
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,760
available from a swipe up and the google now feed from a swipe right but you

30
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:33,599
don't need to have a pixel to make your phone look like this other Android

31
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,319
phones can just download the pixel launcher or one of the hundreds of other

32
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,599
launchers from the play store which whoa microsoft launcher does anyone use that

33
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:48,640
10 million downloads look the point is that it's customizable

34
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:53,280
and while it is true that you can take more control of your iphone by

35
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:57,440
jailbreaking it that basically just unlocks features that Android users

36
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:02,800
already get out of the box and Android offers an even deeper level

37
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:07,599
of customization if you root your phone and install custom roms which are

38
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:11,840
basically alternative firmware with many of them created for free by members of

39
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:16,879
the open source community and they allow you to do all kinds of crazy things like

40
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,720
removing bloatware overclocking for better gaming performance

41
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,319
underclocking to extend battery life installing updates as soon as they

42
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:28,959
become available instead of waiting for the oem to push them or even just

43
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,760
changing what color your notification light flashes speaking of freedom

44
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:38,480
whereas unjailbroken iphones force you to download any and all apps from the

45
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:43,920
app store on Android you can number two completely bypass the play

46
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:48,159
store by side loading apps as many of you no doubt learned when you

47
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:53,360
installed fortnite for Android apps are just dot apk files and they can be

48
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:57,120
downloaded and installed directly on any Android phone as long as you've enabled

49
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:02,480
the capability in your phone's settings first apps that are side loaded don't have to

50
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:07,120
adhere to the play store's rules so some of them can be sketchy but there are

51
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:12,159
cases where the decision to go off play store was driven by other reasons like

52
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:15,920
the developer not wanting to give 30 of their revenue to google or wanting to

53
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,359
release a casino app that lets you gamble with real currency or just

54
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:23,840
wanting to free the nipple as it were the next

55
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:28,800
level is that you can also sideload apps that are themselves app stores so you

56
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:33,120
can actually have more than one app store on your phone for example the

57
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:37,759
amazon app store used to let you download one paid app per day for free

58
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,400
like there's no reason to miss out on stuff like that and from a developer

59
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:48,080
perspective alternative and often smaller app stores let you target users

60
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:50,000
of a specific niche or region i mean the

61
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:54,160
google play store is not accessible at all in china without a vpn so if you

62
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:59,199
want to access the chinese market you're going to have to submit your app to 10

63
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:00,880
cent my app or baidu mobile assistant

64
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:05,840
number three took me a little bit by surprise interaction with the desktop

65
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:11,199
now when you plug an Android device into a pc it acts like pretty much any other

66
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:16,080
usb device or flash drive and you can even use a conventional drag and drop

67
00:05:13,039 --> 00:05:18,880
interface to access both its onboard

68
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:23,199
memory and an external storage device such as a microsd card

69
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:29,759
by contrast iphones must interface with the desktop via

70
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:32,320
intermediary software namely itunes now

71
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:37,680
to be clear it is possible to be an iphone user for years without ever

72
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:41,759
needing itunes relying on icloud for backup and downloading stuff directly to

73
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:46,160
your phone using the files app which came out with iOS 11 and thank goodness

74
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,400
because before that you couldn't even download things from the internet but if

75
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:54,560
for some reason you need to connect your iphone to a computer with a cable like

76
00:05:52,880 --> 00:06:00,240
to move music from your phone to your computer then itunes is liable to be a

77
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:04,960
huge pain in the booty that prevents you from completing tasks that would

78
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:08,080
otherwise be very simple the only

79
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:11,600
exception is to copy pictures

80
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:14,160
from your iphone to the computer

81
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:19,840
that you can do and that's because your computer sees the iphone as a read only

82
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:24,160
camera so you can't like copy photos from your computer to your iphone

83
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,280
something i discovered recently when i tried to help my aunt move to a new

84
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:33,280
iphone and i was like oh this should be easy i'll just move all your old photos onto your oops

85
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,680
number four similar to the software side

86
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:40,160
Android gives you infinitely more choice when it comes to hardware because

87
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,960
Android is open source the software can be found inside devices from myriad

88
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:49,440
manufacturers and this again gives you more freedom because instead of saying

89
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:53,919
well shucks i don't really like what they did with this year's iphone i guess

90
00:06:51,599 --> 00:06:59,280
i'll wait until next september's keynote competition pushes oems to continually

91
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:03,680
innovate allowing consumers to vote with their wallets on the features that they

92
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:08,400
care about headphone jacks stereo speakers expandable storage screens

93
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:12,639
without notches all these treasures and more await

94
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:19,039
and of course this plurality of devices represents number five different price

95
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:21,039
points not everyone wants to or even can

96
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:26,400
spend seven hundred eight hundred fifteen hundred dollars on a phone there

97
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:31,280
are four hundred million smartphone users in india and only three percent of

98
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:36,000
them have iphones it's for a reason at seven hundred and fifty dollars the

99
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:40,479
budget iphone is price prohibitive for millions of people but on Android

100
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:45,039
there's a device for everyone number six is split screen multitasking

101
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:50,319
provided that you're using supported apps Android lets you divide your screen

102
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:52,400
in two so you can say read an article

103
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:56,800
while you watch a twitch stream it's a feature that some power users

104
00:07:54,479 --> 00:08:02,000
cannot live without while others like myself hardly bother using it but hey at

105
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:07,680
least we have the option the really bizarre thing here is that ipads got

106
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:11,520
support for split view with 2017's iOS

107
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:13,360
11 including the 7.9 inch ipad mini but

108
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:19,360
but but but no you can't use split view on your 6.5

109
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:23,840
inch iphone 10s max because screw you apple doesn't think you should

110
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:29,120
be able to number seven

111
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:31,039
usb type c adoption of usbc is really

112
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:36,240
picking up steam now and having a standard interface on your devices is

113
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:39,919
the bee's knees because in theory nearly every device in your house could use the

114
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:45,200
same cables i brought one charger with me on my last trip and i was able to use

115
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,320
it for my phone my laptop and my switch

116
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,480
awesome but what's weird is that while i could

117
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:55,760
charge all of those things including a macbook if i had one but it won't work

118
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:58,160
with the iphone now granted in the past

119
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:04,720
the iphone's lightning connector was definitely superior to usb micro b it's

120
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:10,240
reversible and can handle more power but usbc has closed the gap and even surpass

121
00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:14,560
lightning with many more features and much higher data transfer speeds and

122
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:18,000
apple honestly just looks kind of silly for not supporting it

123
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:24,160
all of their devices could have the same port for the first time ever

124
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:30,000
but no number eight Android has more unlock options you can unlock your phone

125
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:32,320
with a code a pattern your face your eye

126
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:37,360
or your fingerprint depending on your device of course and each method has its

127
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:42,080
place depending on context a fingerprint reader whether you prefer it on the

128
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:44,399
front side back or even under the screen

129
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:49,680
glass is still more convenient than facial recognition in some cases but

130
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:54,800
then face unlock is great to have too and even passwords have their place

131
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:59,920
what doesn't have a place is fixing something that ain't broken

132
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,519
i loved touch id and i gave apple a ton

133
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:06,320
of praise for it but then they went and took it away probably forever even

134
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:09,519
though it would have been so awesome to have the apple logo just work as a

135
00:10:08,079 --> 00:10:14,000
stealthy fingerprint reader like it's just sad that they didn't do that

136
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:18,240
seriously number nine Android has a universal back button now

137
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:22,000
many of the apple faithful and even some Android users might find this point

138
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:27,040
controversial but hear me out yes you can go back on an iphone either

139
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:31,839
by swiping pressing the button in the header or using safari's back button on

140
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:34,560
the bottom when it's visible which method you use is totally dependent on

141
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:38,320
the app but it's not the inconsistency here that

142
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:43,200
i have a problem with it's the positioning the back button is easy to

143
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:47,440
reach on Android because it's right here by your thumb and what's cool is that on

144
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:52,720
many phones you can even choose which side you want it on but on the iphone

145
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:57,519
right-handed people so that is most of us have to reach all the way

146
00:10:54,959 --> 00:11:02,880
across our increasingly ginormous screens to initiate a swipe or even

147
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:06,959
worse way up to the top to reach the button now back when iphones were small

148
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:11,600
one-handed devices that was fine but this was something i criticized back

149
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:16,079
when they launched the iphone 6 and they still haven't fixed it it's just not

150
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,720
ergonomic i mean at least they let you swipe right from anywhere on the home

151
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:25,120
screen and finally number 10 OLED screens

152
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:30,079
yes iphones do finally have OLED screens now starting from 2017's iphone 10 and

153
00:11:28,079 --> 00:11:35,760
while it looks like all models will have OLED starting in 2020 right now their

154
00:11:32,959 --> 00:11:39,760
cheapest model still sports an lcd meanwhile on Android OLED screens are

155
00:11:37,839 --> 00:11:45,519
starting to appear even on mid-range devices and they actually use it for

156
00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:49,440
some reason apple still has not given its users always on display

157
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:54,399
functionality while some Android brands have already started expanding the color

158
00:11:52,240 --> 00:12:00,399
and interactivity even of their always-on screen locks now

159
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:02,800
i am not saying Android is perfect

160
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:07,600
software updates hey with some handset makers forget about it random battery

161
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:12,480
drain i have complained about that on this phone it in particular the one that

162
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:16,800
is my daily driver manufacturer spying scandals those have happened and also

163
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:21,120
just the fact that there's kind of always it's always seems like there's a

164
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:24,399
compromise like there's no one perfect device that has

165
