1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,280
When I switched to the iPhone 16 for a month, I found plenty of things that I loved about

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,880
the experience. The screen, the notification handling, even the multi-app widgets.

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,480
However, I didn't have the It Just Works experience either.

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,000
So was the bugginess and unintuitiveness a one-off for me?

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,660
To find out, I've all untold three lifelong Android users, including my wife, to give

6
00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:33,780
the walled gardener shot. They got a $1,400 budget to buy whatever iPhone they want, along with any eye accessories

7
00:00:33,780 --> 00:00:38,140
they could still afford, and set them loose for a month to see if any of them would be

8
00:00:38,140 --> 00:00:43,580
tempted by the delightful apples that Tim has cooked up.

9
00:00:43,580 --> 00:00:46,660
And by goodness, did they ever have some feedback?

10
00:00:46,660 --> 00:00:50,220
Oh, finally. Sorry, I didn't see it ringing, sir.

11
00:00:50,220 --> 00:00:54,300
Don't call me, sir. So how's it going with our guinea pigs?

12
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:57,380
Are they clamoring for their androids back yet?

13
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,600
No, I think all three are strongly considering switching to iPhone.

14
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:09,680
What? I can't believe I'm not here to hear about this in person again!

15
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,000
Go talk to them! Find out every detail! Well, you heard the man.

16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Tell me everything. Oh. Sorry?

17
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,680
One more thing. Get it? Cause Apple?

18
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,680
Haha! Dbrand.

19
00:01:27,380 --> 00:01:36,200
Every phone upgrade starts with the same thing, which is switching to a new device, whether

20
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,560
you're going from iPhone to iPhone, Android to Android, or crossing the ecosystem.

21
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,320
And based on my quick conversation that I had with you guys just a couple weeks ago,

22
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:51,160
it seems that there was some struggles. Starting with Justin and Natalie, you guys had some issues with your old Apple ID accounts,

23
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:56,280
either backing up some weird contacts on WhatsApp, or you actually had to recover your

24
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,540
account. That was interesting, because it was from so long ago, I think the last time I used

25
00:02:01,540 --> 00:02:08,020
it was like 2014-ish, and it was linked to a really, really old phone number.

26
00:02:08,020 --> 00:02:12,780
So I had to figure out what that phone number was to begin with, which was interesting,

27
00:02:12,780 --> 00:02:16,820
and I ended up having to go through multiple different contacts to figure out someone that

28
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:20,300
had my old number. But were you able to recover it?

29
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:24,540
Yes, I was able to recover it. So luckily I didn't need access to the old number, I just needed the old number.

30
00:02:24,540 --> 00:02:29,680
But for whatever reason they didn't explain, it took two weeks for them to give me an answer

31
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:36,960
on whether or not they were going to give me access to my account again. I get it probably for security reasons, they're probably checking other avenues to make sure

32
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,160
that this account actually isn't in active use, and this person is just trying to get

33
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,960
into their old account. But eventually I was able to get back in, so... Hey, at least you got it back.

34
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,360
And Natalie, you explained that it would seem to be backing up some old phone numbers on

35
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,080
your WhatsApp, and wasn't bringing in over enough people or whatever your contacts.

36
00:02:53,620 --> 00:02:58,940
It was bringing over old contacts from the iPhone iPod touch over like 10 years ago, so

37
00:02:58,940 --> 00:03:02,860
I had those contacts come in, but none of my actual contacts from my phone came in.

38
00:03:02,860 --> 00:03:08,460
Okay, I see. It's nice that Apple had all that information, but in your case it was not helpful.

39
00:03:08,460 --> 00:03:11,460
That was a really loud ding. Yeah, how did you turn it off?

40
00:03:11,460 --> 00:03:18,460
Yeah, same problem. I can't turn it off. I actually don't have sound on mine, I think maybe I turned it off, but it might just vibrate.

41
00:03:18,460 --> 00:03:23,400
So I'm okay with that. We're going to get into the hardware later, but that's really funny that it interrupted

42
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,720
us. Avon, how was your switch from Android to iPhone?

43
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,040
It was so painful. So when you said some struggles, I made a face, because I was like, that was not some

44
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,080
struggle. So I was like, and now that I've heard your experience, I feel like yours was way worse.

45
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,960
You couldn't even switch for two weeks. Oh, I just ended up making a temporary account, just so I could actually like do some stuff.

46
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,880
And then once I was able to get back in, then I just signed in with my normal account. Okay.

47
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,880
Well, it took me a couple days too, but not because I couldn't recover my old iPhone

48
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:53,980
account. But the issue I had was I tried to use the iOS transfer between the two and it just wouldn't

49
00:03:53,980 --> 00:03:57,500
work. I don't know why. Were you doing it like over cable or over the app?

50
00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:01,140
No, I was doing it over Wi-Fi. Okay. Yeah.

51
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:05,500
Because, well, I don't know why. It was an option that it gives you.

52
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:09,100
So why wouldn't you try it? It just wasn't connecting to each other and I couldn't figure out which phone was the

53
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:12,100
problem. Got it. So did you end up doing the transfer?

54
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:17,500
I just did it myself. Oh gosh, that must have been painful downloading all your apps and everything else.

55
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaking of apps, was there any apps for you guys that either didn't work or didn't

56
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,240
come over? WhatsApp. WhatsApp.

57
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,600
I was so mad. I didn't do WhatsApp first. I did it at the end and what I didn't realize was that you have to go through the, I don't

58
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,640
know what it's called, the iOS transfer process and if you don't, your message history gets

59
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:39,320
deleted. Oh. But I had set everything else up and then I got to WhatsApp and it didn't prompt me

60
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,720
and then the only way to do it is to reset your phone and reset it up again and I was

61
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,320
like, no. So you just go through the whole process, you don't want to do it again.

62
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,140
Yes. So that's my entire WhatsApp history, which sucked.

63
00:04:50,140 --> 00:04:54,500
Terrible. Did anybody else have any other app issues or was that the easy part?

64
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:59,500
WhatsApp for me as well. WhatsApp is low. Like I did the, I think it was over Wi-Fi, the iOS transfer, the feature.

65
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:02,540
I'm like, oh, this is kind of cool, but it didn't really work. Got it.

66
00:05:02,540 --> 00:05:07,980
Like I still had to download a lot of apps. I forgot what apps, but I still had to download manually through the app store to get the apps

67
00:05:07,980 --> 00:05:10,980
that were on my phone. Oh, it is. Yeah.

68
00:05:10,980 --> 00:05:15,540
That's the same thing with the apps. Like I had to manually download them, but everything else transferred for me just fine.

69
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,360
All my text messages came over fine. My contacts came over fine, but I did mine through the cable.

70
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,760
I didn't do the wireless transfer. Got it. Okay.

71
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,760
Well, and then the other thing was with my WhatsApp, I have had that problem I passed

72
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:33,840
going from Android to Android. So I always back up my messages through WhatsApp first and then do the transfer and everything

73
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:38,560
usually works out fine. In this case, I didn't have a problem because I backed it up before starting the transfer.

74
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,360
Linus mentioned in part one that you were going to have specific issues with one app.

75
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,360
Yes. I think it was called business calendar. Yes.

76
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,740
It doesn't exist on the iPhone. So I tried the Apple calendar app and then I tried the Google calendar app and I hated

77
00:05:51,740 --> 00:05:57,100
them all. Okay. And I brought my old phone so I could show why because nobody seems to understand me when

78
00:05:57,100 --> 00:06:02,500
I say that it's a problem. Okay. So for example, when I want to look at my week and I want to see what I've got planned

79
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:06,500
today, I click on this and immediately on the business calendar, you can see all of

80
00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:09,500
my things for the day. Got it. Yeah.

81
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:16,880
And it's sorted by all day events and time. This one, it brought me to the actual day, like the single day and all of the stuff that's

82
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:22,040
all days at the top. And then I have to scroll for the entire rest of the day.

83
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,720
And if I need to go see another day now, I have to click on that and go back.

84
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,240
Whereas this, I can just keep going next and I can literally see my entire week all at

85
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,600
once. And this, I have to go through every single day, scroll up and down.

86
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,560
If I miss scrolling far enough, then I miss something, which is really annoying.

87
00:06:38,620 --> 00:06:41,740
I realize how annoying calendar wraps until I see that one.

88
00:06:41,740 --> 00:06:47,060
That is so much better. Yeah. So when I'm on the phone with the doctor's office trying to book an appointment, I'm

89
00:06:47,060 --> 00:06:50,780
like, oh no, Monday doesn't work for me. How about this day? Or how about this day?

90
00:06:50,780 --> 00:06:53,780
It's so easy. Yeah. So much easier.

91
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:58,660
Yeah. During your month though, how much of a pain was that process? Because I think Linus said that was going to be a deal breaker for you possibly, but...

92
00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:03,660
Yes. So it did waste a ton of time. I ended up using my computer a lot to reschedule things.

93
00:07:03,660 --> 00:07:11,300
Got it. Which isn't the most convenient. But there were other positive things about the iPhone that was time saver, so it kind

94
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:14,340
of made it feel like a wash at the end of the day.

95
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:18,220
Got it. Was there any other parts of the setup? That's a really loud ding again.

96
00:07:18,220 --> 00:07:23,820
My goodness. Is there any other parts of the setup that was either a pro or a con from any of you?

97
00:07:23,820 --> 00:07:27,860
The setup for me, because I had to download all these apps and had to reorganize it.

98
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:31,420
I tried to mirror what my phone was. Got it.

99
00:07:31,420 --> 00:07:34,420
With how everything was organized. So like your widgets? Yeah.

100
00:07:34,420 --> 00:07:38,160
Okay. I manually add them all back into a specific folder.

101
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,680
That took so long. Got it. Okay.

102
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,760
I can't just add apps from a list. I have to drag them all into the bubble.

103
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,760
One by one into a folder. It was so annoying. I hated that.

104
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:54,440
You're going to have an agreement, so okay. I think that's the most painful thing for a lot of people whenever they go to a new

105
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:59,600
phone. I mean, a lot of people will boast how great iPhone is because you can just do iCloud accounts

106
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,800
and it basically mirrors it over. And I think Android's a lot of the same if you go from like Samsung to Samsung.

107
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,860
But I want to rate it out of 10. Five is it was, I don't know, middle of the road average about as normal as any other

108
00:08:10,860 --> 00:08:14,940
transfer. Ten is it was so much better. One it was terrible.

109
00:08:14,940 --> 00:08:18,260
Where would you guys rate this? One. Damn.

110
00:08:18,260 --> 00:08:21,260
I'm going to say one. All right. Hey, at least it's honest.

111
00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:24,820
I'm going to say one. Wow. Wow.

112
00:08:24,820 --> 00:08:28,460
Much harsher than our iPhone users last time. I think I'll go a little bit higher than that.

113
00:08:28,460 --> 00:08:32,260
I'd say a five, but I kind of was expecting half of these things to come up.

114
00:08:32,260 --> 00:08:37,800
I do want to talk about the hardware next. Both the iPhone and all of you got a watch as well.

115
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,640
What were some of the pros of like the physical device, whether it's the screen, the battery?

116
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,720
We'll start with Natalie here. Battery is really good for both the watch and the phone.

117
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,800
Screen is great for both. Yeah. I think overall like positive experience like the refresh rate was good.

118
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,320
Yeah. All had a pro. So you had 120 Hertz refresh rate.

119
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,600
The speakers are nice. Like the audio wise, like just playing music.

120
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,800
If I don't have a boothy speaker around, I play that. It's actually pretty good.

121
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,380
Nice. I had the same experiences as Natalie with the phone.

122
00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:09,700
I actually didn't like my watch very much. I found it wasn't working.

123
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:15,140
Like I would be literally in the middle of playing badminton and it would be like, please stand up now or like, please get exercise.

124
00:09:15,140 --> 00:09:20,820
It's like, okay. Like if the whole point of all of this is to be able to, you know, check my stats.

125
00:09:20,820 --> 00:09:25,980
Well, I can't really rely on it. And for battery life, I don't know about yours, but mine lasted a day and a half, but that's

126
00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:29,060
really inconvenient because halfway through with the next day it dies.

127
00:09:29,060 --> 00:09:33,460
And so I have either a half a day of not being able to use my watch or I charge it at night

128
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,660
and then it doesn't monitor the sleep or do any of these other things. Yeah.

129
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:43,600
That's interesting. I never thought of it from that perspective. Almost half a day is worse than if it just did one day because you had no, you can consistently

130
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:50,080
charge it. Justin, what were some pros for you? Yeah, the screen was definitely a massive upside and the fact that it's smaller than

131
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,520
my other phone, which I don't have for comparison here, but yeah, fits my pocket a lot better.

132
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,560
I noticed I was dropping it a lot less, which was great. Do you think it's because of the size?

133
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:02,340
Yes. 100% and the weight. I 100% agree with you.

134
00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:06,460
I did not realize it, but that was one of the things I wanted to experiment with and it's

135
00:10:06,460 --> 00:10:09,980
true. Well, even if you did drop it, thankfully Dbrand sent over those cases.

136
00:10:09,980 --> 00:10:14,860
Oh yeah, no, they did great. These are awesome. I dropped mine probably the same amount as I dropped my other phone.

137
00:10:14,860 --> 00:10:19,380
I actually cracked the screen protector. Yeah, I cracked mine too. I replaced mine before the shoot.

138
00:10:19,380 --> 00:10:22,880
Okay. It didn't damage the phone though, right? The phone is fine.

139
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,880
It's just a screen protector that cracked. Yeah, same here. We're good.

140
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,140
Thanks, Dbrand. And I don't think Yvonne's playing with the watch right now because I charge mine overnight.

141
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,760
I don't monitor my sleep and that's why I was able to have a full day with no problem.

142
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,400
Yeah, that was the same too. Every night I just put my phone and the watch on the charger and wake up, they're both good

143
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,400
to go kind of thing. Yeah, I see. If you need to monitor your sleep and use it during the day, I guess that's pretty annoying.

144
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,720
I was just trying to use the different features that was built in so you might as well at

145
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,240
least give it a try, right? Oh, I immediately shut it off. Oh, you didn't want it to track your sleep?

146
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,240
Or any of the fitness stuff. The notifications were driving me absolutely bonkers.

147
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,140
Oh, interesting. Okay. The notification issues with the watch or the phone?

148
00:11:00,140 --> 00:11:06,620
All the notifications worked and that was part of the problem. Well, what I was going to say was when you do put them on a charger though, if you pick

149
00:11:06,620 --> 00:11:10,660
up your phone first and you start swiping things away, well, when you pick up your watch after,

150
00:11:10,660 --> 00:11:13,820
all of those same notifications come back. Like when you slide away on your phone.

151
00:11:13,820 --> 00:11:16,820
Yeah. And it's still, yeah, okay, that is true. I think.

152
00:11:16,820 --> 00:11:19,820
So you had that issue too. Yeah. Okay.

153
00:11:19,820 --> 00:11:25,300
It just felt like duplicating. So half the time I didn't even take my watch in the morning. Another piece of hardware that I think all of you brought up was the camera.

154
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,560
I think overall it was very positive. Yvonne, you actually mentioned you really like the live videos.

155
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:34,880
I do. I had never experienced that before, but when I'm taking shots, like especially action

156
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,720
shots, it was just so nice to capture that little moment and like my son was playing

157
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,320
baseball and I was able to get like him actually swinging the ball, which was so cool.

158
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:49,080
I do actually really like that feature from my phone. I remember when it was announced, a lot of Android users did criticize it as almost pointless

159
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,080
and seems weird, but it almost feels like just a little moment in time that you get

160
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,860
to rewatch again. Right? So my question though is how do you watch it on the computer?

161
00:11:55,860 --> 00:12:00,180
Because I downloaded all my photos and it just shows up as a separate file and I couldn't

162
00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:04,580
actually see it. Do I need to have an Apple computer to be able to do that?

163
00:12:04,580 --> 00:12:08,860
I'll throw the instructions on screen because I don't know off the top of my head and that's

164
00:12:08,860 --> 00:12:13,180
a good thing because I just said send me the video for the edits and I hope I can include

165
00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:16,700
it now. I will say doesn't Android also have that feature?

166
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:19,780
At least the Samsung, like you can turn it on live. The Pixel have that too.

167
00:12:19,780 --> 00:12:22,780
Yeah. You just have to turn it on. There is now a feature with it.

168
00:12:22,780 --> 00:12:29,360
I believe it was iPhone first. I can be corrected if I'm wrong, but it is now a thing and as the industry does, when

169
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,440
iPhone does something, Android moves towards it like no headphone jack.

170
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,440
Or the other way around, you know, sometimes.

171
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,160
That's true. Is there anything that was on your Android phone from a feature-wise hardware that you

172
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,640
kind of missed on your iPhone, whether it's the placement of the buttons or the power

173
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,640
button? I missed the back button. Yeah, back button.

174
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:53,020
Not it. It felt like the back button was always moving depending on which app I was in.

175
00:12:53,020 --> 00:12:58,100
Which sucks. I like it just always being in the same spot. So you used the three buttons instead of gestures.

176
00:12:58,100 --> 00:13:01,100
Did any of you guys try gestures on the iPhone, whether it's swiping or something?

177
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:04,220
I did use gestures too. Okay. It just wasn't as convenient sometimes.

178
00:13:04,220 --> 00:13:07,980
Got it. You like that always in the same spot. You know where to hit it kind of thing.

179
00:13:07,980 --> 00:13:12,460
One other hardware thing was I kind of joked about lack of headphone jack or whatever.

180
00:13:12,460 --> 00:13:17,540
Justin, you actually mentioned you really like the Bluetooth. For some reason, the Bluetooth was just like black magic for you.

181
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:23,240
Yeah. I have no idea how it was that good because I got the Beats Buds, I think they were.

182
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,240
Yeah. That was part of your purchase. Yeah.

183
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,680
And I was able to put my phone down at my desk and go walk clear across the warehouse,

184
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:33,560
walk outside and then audio didn't cut out whatsoever.

185
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:37,440
It was actually crazy. Well, there you go. That's definitely a positive.

186
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,480
Is there any other final comments or cons that you want to come up with for the hardware

187
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,600
of either device? I don't like the camera button. You don't like the camera button?

188
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,220
To open the app sure is convenient, but I've never, I've tried it once to actually take

189
00:13:50,220 --> 00:13:55,460
a picture, but because of the actuation, it just, it just, it just ruins.

190
00:13:55,460 --> 00:13:58,700
Got it. Did any of you guys need to try the shutter button and use it?

191
00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:02,780
Yes. I didn't mind it. I found the touch was a little bit hard to get used to.

192
00:14:02,780 --> 00:14:06,940
I don't know how much that was because of the D brand case, but they claimed that it's

193
00:14:06,940 --> 00:14:11,060
compatible with it. So I'm assuming it would be the same whether or not it was like that.

194
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:16,120
But with that being said, the telephoto lens on that camera was actually crazy.

195
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,280
You see, I was out in the mountains out in Hope there, but you see that little spot there?

196
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:26,400
Yeah. That's zoomed in with the telephoto lens.

197
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,360
So that was really cool to be able to shoot like really far off at a distance like that.

198
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:36,760
Yeah. So I was really annoyed by it because you double click to open, what's it called?

199
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,760
What is this thing called? Apple Pay. Apple Pay.

200
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,780
Got it. You accidentally take a photo. Oh, I see.

201
00:14:42,780 --> 00:14:46,860
So even the amount of times you probably accidentally like took a photo of your desk or something.

202
00:14:46,860 --> 00:14:49,860
My shoes. Yeah. Awesome.

203
00:14:49,860 --> 00:14:53,900
Okay. So we're going to rate it again out of 10. Five is the hardware is on par with your Android.

204
00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:57,540
Ten is it's much better. One is it's much worse. Where does the scale lie?

205
00:14:57,540 --> 00:15:00,540
I would say seven. Seven.

206
00:15:00,540 --> 00:15:03,900
Because are you enjoyed it overall more than your Android?

207
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:07,460
I would say about a six and a half. Okay. A little bit more.

208
00:15:07,460 --> 00:15:10,460
Eight. Wow. The highest score so far again.

209
00:15:10,460 --> 00:15:19,200
iOS and the software side of things. For both the watch and the iPhone, was there any immediate pros and cons when you started

210
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,120
using iOS 18? Oh, I loved Face ID.

211
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,120
Face ID. Yeah. That was so fast.

212
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,120
I loved it. Yeah. Just for unlocking the phone when you first pick it up or whatever.

213
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,840
Or for apps like banking apps or whatever, just general login.

214
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,840
It was so nice. Got it. And you're nodding in agreement.

215
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,840
Yeah. Face ID as well. Yeah, pretty fast.

216
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,740
That's great. One thing that I really found better was the voice to text.

217
00:15:42,740 --> 00:15:46,620
It was so much more accurate than even when I was saying things and it was getting it

218
00:15:46,620 --> 00:15:49,620
wrong at the beginning, based on the rest of the sentence, it was correcting it after

219
00:15:49,620 --> 00:15:52,780
the fact, which was so nice. Oh, that's nice. Yeah.

220
00:15:52,780 --> 00:15:56,900
Kind of definitely adjust it. I was able to actually use it, which is really different than here.

221
00:15:56,900 --> 00:16:02,380
I just gave up using it on here. The watch app integration was a lot better than on the Android side.

222
00:16:02,380 --> 00:16:05,740
So for getting in and out of the building using the Ubiquiti app, there wasn't a Ubiquiti

223
00:16:05,740 --> 00:16:09,220
app on the Android side. So now I can actually get in and out of the building using the watch.

224
00:16:09,220 --> 00:16:13,600
Oh, I see. So much more convenient. On the Android watch side is what you're talking about.

225
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,600
Yes. Okay. Okay.

226
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,600
So you had it on your iPhone watch. Perfect. You mentioned speech to text.

227
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,600
Did any of you guys have any issues with the keyboard? Because I know some people don't like the keyboard. Holy crap.

228
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,840
Okay, everyone's unanimous agreement here.

229
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:32,480
You seem the most passionate. We'll start with Justin. I get why they did it because of the rounded corners at the bottom, but my finger placement

230
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,440
is always wrong. Because I always want to be towards the bottom because I'm used to a square phone and I always

231
00:16:37,460 --> 00:16:42,260
type off the screen or I hit the period button when I don't want to or I accidentally hit

232
00:16:42,260 --> 00:16:46,500
the space bar and my senses look all stupid.

233
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:49,980
You're nodding in agreement. Did you struggle with the same thing? Yeah, pretty much.

234
00:16:49,980 --> 00:16:53,480
And then I'm sure if you bring up my text history with anybody, you'll see there's always

235
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,980
a space before exclamation marks or question marks or anything like that.

236
00:16:56,980 --> 00:17:01,860
You're just so used to double space for the period, but then you forget for all the other

237
00:17:01,860 --> 00:17:09,200
things. Yeah. For me, so I have numbers on the top of the row with the letters.

238
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,960
On your Samsung? Yeah, on the Samsung. So if I needed to type a number, it's so convenient, it's right there, but I have to switch it

239
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,960
every time. Got it. On that Apple.

240
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,960
So that was my... When you're in accounting, that is a huge thing. Yeah.

241
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:26,040
You're dealing with numbers as a job. The camera, I know I talked to you about this before.

242
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,080
It doesn't remember the setting that I had it in.

243
00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:34,740
So if I wanted to take a photo in 16 by 9, I had to always go change it to 16 by 9.

244
00:17:34,740 --> 00:17:40,020
Got it. It's always defaulting to 4 by 3. Even though we changed the setting, it actually remembers which mode I was in.

245
00:17:40,020 --> 00:17:44,100
So video or photo or portrait, that's what that setting was for.

246
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:48,060
So you felt like you had to manually adjust your camera every time you wanted to take a photo.

247
00:17:48,060 --> 00:17:53,700
Yeah, so that was very annoying. I have that problem with my car. It starts at the beginning of my playlist every single time.

248
00:17:53,700 --> 00:17:56,700
Really? With the Apple CarPlay? Yeah.

249
00:17:56,700 --> 00:18:00,000
Such a weird niche bug that I wouldn't have... It's a feature. Maybe it wants you to start the playlist over.

250
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:06,880
I don't know, but I'm sick of Hamilton at this point, and I loved that, so that sucks.

251
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:12,080
Now one thing that was a nice thing that has changed over the years is the customization.

252
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,400
I was able to download Google Keyboard and use that instead, which was slightly better,

253
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,320
but still had the same issue of the positioning. Did you guys download any sort of custom keyboard?

254
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,000
No, I downloaded Swift Key, which is what I usually use on Android, but I don't remember

255
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,820
why I just keep up partway through. I'm sorry. I don't know why.

256
00:18:27,820 --> 00:18:30,980
Maybe I was trying to commit and trying to use it properly.

257
00:18:30,980 --> 00:18:35,100
I don't know. That's all I can ask for for this month was that you guys tried to commit to using the

258
00:18:35,100 --> 00:18:41,100
iPhone. Was there any other pros or cons that you guys found with the iOS experience in general?

259
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:45,380
iPhone users always talk about how amazing it is to AirDrop or Transfer Files or anything.

260
00:18:45,380 --> 00:18:49,140
Did you guys get to try that at all? Because you have a MacBook at home, right?

261
00:18:49,140 --> 00:18:52,940
Yeah, I did end up trying some of the features out just to see what they do, because I don't

262
00:18:52,940 --> 00:18:56,420
use my MacBook a whole lot, but I figured just for this I would try it.

263
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:02,600
Yeah, like the AirDrop stuff, everything worked fine. Tried copying over photos, a couple videos, stuff like that, but yeah, everything seemed

264
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,040
to work just fine. Did you guys get to try anything because we didn't really have a MacBook to test with,

265
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:12,080
for example? No, no. And I think that was part of my problem is that I don't know very many people in the

266
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,640
Apple ecosystem, so I didn't actually get to benefit from that.

267
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,680
Yeah, because one of the things you discovered in part one was if you brought the two iPhones

268
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,720
close together, you can actually transfer contacts between each other, and I guess no

269
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:29,620
one got to experiment with that. No, not with that, but FaceTime is pretty sweet, being able to FaceTime with my sister

270
00:19:29,620 --> 00:19:35,100
and my niece and nephew and stuff like that, so that was cool. Because they all had iPhones or whatever, did you guys get to try a FaceTime at all?

271
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:39,580
No, because the same thing, Apple ecosystem, if I don't have other people on it, then I

272
00:19:39,580 --> 00:19:47,580
can't try it. That does seem like a limiting factor. I think I actually have, majority of my friends have iPhones, but I don't use the AirDrop

273
00:19:47,580 --> 00:19:53,260
because we have a WhatsApp group, so we already have a system in place, so I didn't have to

274
00:19:53,260 --> 00:19:56,260
FaceTime, just use WhatsApp call, right?

275
00:19:56,260 --> 00:19:59,800
If anybody else has any final comments though, what would it be about?

276
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:06,200
I tried out the public beta of iOS 26. I didn't ask that because I didn't think anyone was going to try iOS 26.

277
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,520
I did it on Thursday. Okay, what are your thoughts?

278
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,640
So far, so good, because it's a beta, it is lacking the Apple polish, everything works

279
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,280
super smooth, but I do really like the look of it, it does look much nicer.

280
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,920
Did you try the liquid glass stuff? Yeah, that's what I have on right now, and yeah, it's really pretty actually.

281
00:20:22,940 --> 00:20:26,420
Someone who liked liquid glass. Yeah, so it's all like transparent and stuff like that now.

282
00:20:26,420 --> 00:20:29,420
So you could do that with your Android. Yeah, you could.

283
00:20:29,420 --> 00:20:32,420
You could have done that a long time ago.

284
00:20:32,420 --> 00:20:36,220
Dynamic Island, I don't get the point of it. Oh.

285
00:20:36,220 --> 00:20:43,140
I don't like it. You put a pet on it though, you said it was. I don't really see it much use of it, like if they put notification icons there, sure.

286
00:20:43,140 --> 00:20:48,900
But it's just a black notch there that I don't really see. But you can like click into it and like do a bunch of customization stuff, did you get

287
00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:52,780
to try it? No, like I click it and it doesn't do anything.

288
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,040
It's supposed to like open and show you your music that's playing or.

289
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:01,760
Well, I can swipe down, that happens. I do agree, it is quite an ugly eyesore.

290
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,680
It's quite large on the phone screen, did you guys have any other issues or experiences

291
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,400
with Dynamic Island? Um, I was actually trying to do what Natalie was doing and do like a little dumb pet thing

292
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,160
because there was like a little Pokemon wand or whatever, but like 90% of the apps seemed

293
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:20,320
like scams. Oh, speaking of apps, when you guys downloaded things from the app store, did you notice

294
00:21:20,340 --> 00:21:23,540
you can't sort by rating when you're just searching for something? I never sort it.

295
00:21:23,540 --> 00:21:26,540
Yeah, I didn't know. Oh. You can't sort by rating?

296
00:21:26,540 --> 00:21:29,540
No. Okay. Is that a me thing or is that an app?

297
00:21:29,540 --> 00:21:32,580
I think that's a fair thing if you're looking for a specific type of app you want to search

298
00:21:32,580 --> 00:21:37,900
by rating. What was an example? Um, I wanted to download Sudoku and I didn't have one already, so I was trying to find

299
00:21:37,900 --> 00:21:40,900
the best one. Okay. Yeah.

300
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:44,860
Did it give you like most downloads? Did it give you like what was the order? Don't remember.

301
00:21:44,860 --> 00:21:49,900
Okay, let's, let me see. Speaking of downloading apps, I found it annoying where you had to double click the home button

302
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,960
just to download the app. I can't just click get and it will download.

303
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,960
That's what I think. It's not paid. It's a free app.

304
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,960
So why do I have to confirm with my face? Right? Got it.

305
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:03,080
That was the kind of thing that kind of annoyed me with the Apple Pay is you'd put it near

306
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,760
it and then be like double click to confirm pay and then you have to like look over it

307
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,760
and get excited to work. Yeah.

308
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:19,560
Okay. No, it's not sorted by most downloaded. So there's one that has 246,000, then 27, then 89, then 504, then 7.7.

309
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:24,020
That's all over the place. But you can't change the sorting to be by highest rated.

310
00:22:24,020 --> 00:22:29,020
iPhone's telling you which one to download. Yeah, pretty much. But the one at the top is an ad supported one.

311
00:22:29,020 --> 00:22:33,420
Oh, well that's why they're telling you to download that one.

312
00:22:33,420 --> 00:22:39,460
The multitasking window, the fact that there's no close all button, stupid.

313
00:22:39,460 --> 00:22:43,300
And so like I wanted to try and find like another, see if there was a solution for that.

314
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:46,980
And most of the Reddit comments range from you're stupid, you don't know what you need

315
00:22:46,980 --> 00:22:55,080
for your phone to too bad, so sad. Just the small things, but it's like the small things get to you that it affects your.

316
00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:04,160
I guess that's a good question asked then. Overall, how would you guys compare iPhone ecosystem or the iOS experience to Android?

317
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,360
We'll use our same scale. Five is the exact same. 10 is it's better.

318
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:10,360
One is it's worse. Three. Three.

319
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:13,360
So just a little bit worse. Actually, no, I'm going to add it too. Okay.

320
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:17,980
Quite a bit more worse. I'd probably say a five and a half.

321
00:23:17,980 --> 00:23:21,820
Okay. Yeah. So overall you think iOS was just a touch better.

322
00:23:21,820 --> 00:23:28,140
Yeah, but I also noticed that the week that I switched, my Android got an update that

323
00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:31,820
mimicked some of the same gestures and things like that that the iPhone did.

324
00:23:31,820 --> 00:23:35,140
So I don't know. For me, the biggest factor was Face ID.

325
00:23:35,140 --> 00:23:38,140
That really was. It saved so much time. Got it.

326
00:23:38,140 --> 00:23:41,140
That's what put it over. Did it make up the time for business calendar? It did.

327
00:23:41,140 --> 00:23:44,140
Wow. That's very interesting. Okay.

328
00:23:44,140 --> 00:23:48,720
Justin, you're rating. Yeah. Just like as a complete ecosystem together with the watch, the headphones that I got,

329
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,960
everything. Stayed probably about seven and a half, eight. Honestly, I got, it all worked really well for me.

330
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,400
I didn't have too many issues this whole time. There you go.

331
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,120
That's fantastic. The overall final learnable lesson, just like our iPhone users when they tried Android

332
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:06,600
was it's not the end of the world to switch. It's just kind of a pain in the butt to switch.

333
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,040
And then over time, you either get used to it or it's a one time pain because you have

334
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,780
to re-download stuff. Is that a fair kind of comment to make?

335
00:24:14,780 --> 00:24:23,100
Just like last time, Linus had an offer. He offered our iPhone users to permanently switch to Android if they give up their iPhone.

336
00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:31,220
I'm going to give you guys the same offer. You're no longer allowed to use your Android, but you can keep your watch and your iPhone.

337
00:24:31,220 --> 00:24:34,580
Are you guys on board with that or do you really want to go back to Android?

338
00:24:34,580 --> 00:24:38,420
I'm going back to my Android. You're going back to Android.

339
00:24:38,420 --> 00:24:42,880
Really? Interesting because when we did our one on one like a week and a half ago, you were pretty

340
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:48,520
on the fence about it. If I were to say yes right now, it's because it's a newer phone and not because it's an

341
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:53,000
iPhone. Not necessarily. I'm still team Android after the 30 days here.

342
00:24:53,000 --> 00:25:02,120
I think that's a fair comparison. Yvonne? For me, the biggest pain is the switching and to have to switch back and like I really don't

343
00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:07,120
want to. And the day to day, like there's pros and cons, like I weighed them almost equally, right?

344
00:25:07,140 --> 00:25:11,100
So for me, it's a coin flip and I was literally going to flip a coin.

345
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:14,100
Should we do it? Right now? Let's do it.

346
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:18,900
I have a coin in my purse. I didn't actually expect this coin flip.

347
00:25:18,900 --> 00:25:22,620
Android. Now we have to decide is it is heads, what's heads, what's tails?

348
00:25:22,620 --> 00:25:25,620
I don't know. You tell me. All right.

349
00:25:25,620 --> 00:25:28,620
Heads is Android's list. Okay.

350
00:25:28,620 --> 00:25:33,700
Heads. She's going back to Android, which means you have to go through the pain of switching

351
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:36,500
again. Maybe you'll rate it better this time.

352
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,880
Maybe. That's so funny. All right.

353
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,240
Well, Justin, you're the iPhone's last hope. Are you wanting to permanently switch to iPhone?

354
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,240
I'm going to switch. There you go. Wow.

355
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,920
You know what's funny is the predictions were Linus was like, no, Justin will definitely

356
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,880
not switch and said no to Yvonne as well because of business calendar, but you left

357
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,360
it up to random chance and he thought if anyone was going to switch, it was going to be you

358
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:05,480
and you didn't switch. So that's a very, very, very funny final conclusion.

359
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,020
But thank you guys for trying iPhone for a month. Thank you. Thanks.

360
00:26:09,020 --> 00:26:16,220
I think Linus is going to be a bit shocked with how our final results ended up turning out considering how much of a poor experience he had when he switched to the iPhone.

361
00:26:16,220 --> 00:26:19,340
If you guys enjoyed this video, go check out part one where these guys actually got to

362
00:26:19,340 --> 00:26:25,980
shop for which iPhone they were going to pick. Or you can go back a couple months when we asked iPhone users to try Android.

363
00:26:25,980 --> 00:26:27,260
That was also a two part series.
