00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:20.480
welcome back to coping with your iphone

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:25.519
james how do you deal with all the useless seldom used or bloatware apps

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:29.279
that clutter up your home screen great question well you know it's really

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

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:39.520
garbage and then i just never go in there again and it only takes up one

00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:43.280
square on my home screen one square one

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:45.600
just one wow that's great and and how

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

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:53.920
useless apps on their own special page in the back and i just never swipe them

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

00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:01.600
like it's not there that's terrific

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:06.720
oh please oh thank you iphones are just they're so easy to use

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:12.560
aren't they yeah oh that's great join us again next week

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:15.360
when i'll be sharing my favorite dongle recipes

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

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:27.840
Android's getting the same treatment after this message from our sponsor

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:33.040
lastpass lastpass relieves the burden of trying

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:37.600
to remember all your passwords for every website let lastpass fill in the

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:43.090

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:53.040
so once again we've leaned on our community to compile our list and

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:57.200
surprise surprise the number one most commonly cited perk of Android is

00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:01.680
customization not only does Android let you

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:06.560
put your app icons wherever you want including places you can actually reach

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:11.520
use non-hamstrung third-party keyboards a swiftkey on iOS is just truly awful

00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:16.560
and change your default browser to something other than safari it even lets

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:21.599
you change what's called the launcher which is basically how your desktop

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:25.520
looks and feels for example the google pixel launcher has the app drawer

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:29.760
available from a swipe up and the google now feed from a swipe right but you

00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:33.599
don't need to have a pixel to make your phone look like this other Android

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:38.319
phones can just download the pixel launcher or one of the hundreds of other

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:43.599
launchers from the play store which whoa microsoft launcher does anyone use that

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:48.640
10 million downloads look the point is that it's customizable

00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:53.280
and while it is true that you can take more control of your iphone by

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:57.440
jailbreaking it that basically just unlocks features that Android users

00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:02.800
already get out of the box and Android offers an even deeper level

00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:07.599
of customization if you root your phone and install custom roms which are

00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:11.840
basically alternative firmware with many of them created for free by members of

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:16.879
the open source community and they allow you to do all kinds of crazy things like

00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:20.720
removing bloatware overclocking for better gaming performance

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:24.319
underclocking to extend battery life installing updates as soon as they

00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:28.959
become available instead of waiting for the oem to push them or even just

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:33.760
changing what color your notification light flashes speaking of freedom

00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:38.480
whereas unjailbroken iphones force you to download any and all apps from the

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:43.920
app store on Android you can number two completely bypass the play

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:48.159
store by side loading apps as many of you no doubt learned when you

00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:53.360
installed fortnite for Android apps are just dot apk files and they can be

00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:57.120
downloaded and installed directly on any Android phone as long as you've enabled

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

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

00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:12.159
cases where the decision to go off play store was driven by other reasons like

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:15.920
the developer not wanting to give 30 of their revenue to google or wanting to

00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:19.359
release a casino app that lets you gamble with real currency or just

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:23.840
wanting to free the nipple as it were the next

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:28.800
level is that you can also sideload apps that are themselves app stores so you

00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:33.120
can actually have more than one app store on your phone for example the

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:37.759
amazon app store used to let you download one paid app per day for free

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:42.400
like there's no reason to miss out on stuff like that and from a developer

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:48.080
perspective alternative and often smaller app stores let you target users

00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:50.000
of a specific niche or region i mean the

00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:54.160
google play store is not accessible at all in china without a vpn so if you

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

00:04:55.919 --> 00:05:00.880
cent my app or baidu mobile assistant

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:05.840
number three took me a little bit by surprise interaction with the desktop

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

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:16.080
usb device or flash drive and you can even use a conventional drag and drop

00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:18.880
interface to access both its onboard

00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:23.199
memory and an external storage device such as a microsd card

00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:29.759
by contrast iphones must interface with the desktop via

00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:32.320
intermediary software namely itunes now

00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:37.680
to be clear it is possible to be an iphone user for years without ever

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:41.759
needing itunes relying on icloud for backup and downloading stuff directly to

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:46.160
your phone using the files app which came out with iOS 11 and thank goodness

00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:50.400
because before that you couldn't even download things from the internet but if

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:54.560
for some reason you need to connect your iphone to a computer with a cable like

00:05:52.880 --> 00:06:00.240
to move music from your phone to your computer then itunes is liable to be a

00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:04.960
huge pain in the booty that prevents you from completing tasks that would

00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:08.080
otherwise be very simple the only

00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:11.600
exception is to copy pictures

00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:14.160
from your iphone to the computer

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

00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:24.160
camera so you can't like copy photos from your computer to your iphone

00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:27.280
something i discovered recently when i tried to help my aunt move to a new

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

00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:35.680
number four similar to the software side

00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:40.160
Android gives you infinitely more choice when it comes to hardware because

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:44.960
Android is open source the software can be found inside devices from myriad

00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:49.440
manufacturers and this again gives you more freedom because instead of saying

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

00:06:51.599 --> 00:06:59.280
i'll wait until next september's keynote competition pushes oems to continually

00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:03.680
innovate allowing consumers to vote with their wallets on the features that they

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:08.400
care about headphone jacks stereo speakers expandable storage screens

00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:12.639
without notches all these treasures and more await

00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:19.039
and of course this plurality of devices represents number five different price

00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:21.039
points not everyone wants to or even can

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:26.400
spend seven hundred eight hundred fifteen hundred dollars on a phone there

00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:31.280
are four hundred million smartphone users in india and only three percent of

00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:36.000
them have iphones it's for a reason at seven hundred and fifty dollars the

00:07:33.599 --> 00:07:40.479
budget iphone is price prohibitive for millions of people but on Android

00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:45.039
there's a device for everyone number six is split screen multitasking

00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:50.319
provided that you're using supported apps Android lets you divide your screen

00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:52.400
in two so you can say read an article

00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:56.800
while you watch a twitch stream it's a feature that some power users

00:07:54.479 --> 00:08:02.000
cannot live without while others like myself hardly bother using it but hey at

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:07.680
least we have the option the really bizarre thing here is that ipads got

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:11.520
support for split view with 2017's iOS

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.360
11 including the 7.9 inch ipad mini but

00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:19.360
but but but no you can't use split view on your 6.5

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:23.840
inch iphone 10s max because screw you apple doesn't think you should

00:08:21.599 --> 00:08:29.120
be able to number seven

00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:31.039
usb type c adoption of usbc is really

00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:36.240
picking up steam now and having a standard interface on your devices is

00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:39.919
the bee's knees because in theory nearly every device in your house could use the

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

00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:46.320
it for my phone my laptop and my switch

00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:50.480
awesome but what's weird is that while i could

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

00:08:52.640 --> 00:08:58.160
with the iphone now granted in the past

00:08:55.760 --> 00:09:04.720
the iphone's lightning connector was definitely superior to usb micro b it's

00:09:01.920 --> 00:09:10.240
reversible and can handle more power but usbc has closed the gap and even surpass

00:09:07.839 --> 00:09:14.560
lightning with many more features and much higher data transfer speeds and

00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:18.000
apple honestly just looks kind of silly for not supporting it

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:24.160
all of their devices could have the same port for the first time ever

00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:30.000
but no number eight Android has more unlock options you can unlock your phone

00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:32.320
with a code a pattern your face your eye

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:37.360
or your fingerprint depending on your device of course and each method has its

00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:42.080
place depending on context a fingerprint reader whether you prefer it on the

00:09:38.880 --> 00:09:44.399
front side back or even under the screen

00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:49.680
glass is still more convenient than facial recognition in some cases but

00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:54.800
then face unlock is great to have too and even passwords have their place

00:09:52.640 --> 00:09:59.920
what doesn't have a place is fixing something that ain't broken

00:09:56.880 --> 00:10:01.519
i loved touch id and i gave apple a ton

00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:06.320
of praise for it but then they went and took it away probably forever even

00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:09.519
though it would have been so awesome to have the apple logo just work as a

00:10:08.079 --> 00:10:14.000
stealthy fingerprint reader like it's just sad that they didn't do that

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:18.240
seriously number nine Android has a universal back button now

00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:22.000
many of the apple faithful and even some Android users might find this point

00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:27.040
controversial but hear me out yes you can go back on an iphone either

00:10:25.040 --> 00:10:31.839
by swiping pressing the button in the header or using safari's back button on

00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:34.560
the bottom when it's visible which method you use is totally dependent on

00:10:33.680 --> 00:10:38.320
the app but it's not the inconsistency here that

00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:43.200
i have a problem with it's the positioning the back button is easy to

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

00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:52.720
many phones you can even choose which side you want it on but on the iphone

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:57.519
right-handed people so that is most of us have to reach all the way

00:10:54.959 --> 00:11:02.880
across our increasingly ginormous screens to initiate a swipe or even

00:11:00.640 --> 00:11:06.959
worse way up to the top to reach the button now back when iphones were small

00:11:04.800 --> 00:11:11.600
one-handed devices that was fine but this was something i criticized back

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

00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.720
ergonomic i mean at least they let you swipe right from anywhere on the home

00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:25.120
screen and finally number 10 OLED screens

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:30.079
yes iphones do finally have OLED screens now starting from 2017's iphone 10 and

00:11:28.079 --> 00:11:35.760
while it looks like all models will have OLED starting in 2020 right now their

00:11:32.959 --> 00:11:39.760
cheapest model still sports an lcd meanwhile on Android OLED screens are

00:11:37.839 --> 00:11:45.519
starting to appear even on mid-range devices and they actually use it for

00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:49.440
some reason apple still has not given its users always on display

00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:54.399
functionality while some Android brands have already started expanding the color

00:11:52.240 --> 00:12:00.399
and interactivity even of their always-on screen locks now

00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:02.800
i am not saying Android is perfect

00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:07.600
software updates hey with some handset makers forget about it random battery

00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:12.480
drain i have complained about that on this phone it in particular the one that

00:12:09.920 --> 00:12:16.800
is my daily driver manufacturer spying scandals those have happened and also

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

00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.399
compromise like there's no one perfect device that has

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:27.920
everything that you want there's always some kind of an issue the point i'm

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:33.519
trying to make here is that there are just plenty of reasons to buy an Android

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:38.079
just like there are plenty of reasons to buy an iphone and one reason to enjoy

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:42.720
