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

00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:10.880
the experience. The screen, the notification handling, even the multi-app widgets.

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:15.480
However, I didn't have the It Just Works experience either.

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:20.000
So was the bugginess and unintuitiveness a one-off for me?

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:26.660
To find out, I've all untold three lifelong Android users, including my wife, to give

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

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

00:00:38.140 --> 00:00:43.580
tempted by the delightful apples that Tim has cooked up.

00:00:43.580 --> 00:00:46.660
And by goodness, did they ever have some feedback?

00:00:46.660 --> 00:00:50.220
Oh, finally. Sorry, I didn't see it ringing, sir.

00:00:50.220 --> 00:00:54.300
Don't call me, sir. So how's it going with our guinea pigs?

00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:57.380
Are they clamoring for their androids back yet?

00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:02.600
No, I think all three are strongly considering switching to iPhone.

00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:09.680
What? I can't believe I'm not here to hear about this in person again!

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:14.000
Go talk to them! Find out every detail! Well, you heard the man.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.000
Tell me everything. Oh. Sorry?

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:20.680
One more thing. Get it? Cause Apple?

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.680
Haha! Dbrand.

00:01:27.380 --> 00:01:36.200
Every phone upgrade starts with the same thing, which is switching to a new device, whether

00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.560
you're going from iPhone to iPhone, Android to Android, or crossing the ecosystem.

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,

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,

00:01:51.160 --> 00:01:56.280
either backing up some weird contacts on WhatsApp, or you actually had to recover your

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

00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:08.020
it was like 2014-ish, and it was linked to a really, really old phone number.

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,

00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:16.820
and I ended up having to go through multiple different contacts to figure out someone that

00:02:16.820 --> 00:02:20.300
had my old number. But were you able to recover it?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.080
your WhatsApp, and wasn't bringing in over enough people or whatever your contacts.

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

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.

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.

00:03:08.460 --> 00:03:11.460
That was a really loud ding. Yeah, how did you turn it off?

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.

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

00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.720
us. Avon, how was your switch from Android to iPhone?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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?

00:03:57.500 --> 00:04:01.140
No, I was doing it over Wi-Fi. Okay. Yeah.

00:04:01.140 --> 00:04:05.500
Because, well, I don't know why. It was an option that it gives you.

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

00:04:09.100 --> 00:04:12.100
problem. Got it. So did you end up doing the transfer?

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.

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

00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.240
come over? WhatsApp. WhatsApp.

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

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

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

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

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.

00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:50.140
Yes. So that's my entire WhatsApp history, which sucked.

00:04:50.140 --> 00:04:54.500
Terrible. Did anybody else have any other app issues or was that the easy part?

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.

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.

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

00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:10.980
that were on my phone. Oh, it is. Yeah.

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.

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.

00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.760
I didn't do the wireless transfer. Got it. Okay.

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

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

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.

00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.360
Linus mentioned in part one that you were going to have specific issues with one app.

00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.360
Yes. I think it was called business calendar. Yes.

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

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

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

00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:06.500
today, I click on this and immediately on the business calendar, you can see all of

00:06:06.500 --> 00:06:09.500
my things for the day. Got it. Yeah.

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

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.

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.

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

00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.600
once. And this, I have to go through every single day, scroll up and down.

00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.560
If I miss scrolling far enough, then I miss something, which is really annoying.

00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:41.740
I realize how annoying calendar wraps until I see that one.

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

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?

00:06:50.780 --> 00:06:53.780
It's so easy. Yeah. So much easier.

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...

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.

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

00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:14.340
of made it feel like a wash at the end of the day.

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.

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?

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.

00:07:27.860 --> 00:07:31.420
I tried to mirror what my phone was. Got it.

00:07:31.420 --> 00:07:34.420
With how everything was organized. So like your widgets? Yeah.

00:07:34.420 --> 00:07:38.160
Okay. I manually add them all back into a specific folder.

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.680
That took so long. Got it. Okay.

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.

00:07:45.760 --> 00:07:48.760
One by one into a folder. It was so annoying. I hated that.

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

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

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.

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

00:08:10.860 --> 00:08:14.940
transfer. Ten is it was so much better. One it was terrible.

00:08:14.940 --> 00:08:18.260
Where would you guys rate this? One. Damn.

00:08:18.260 --> 00:08:21.260
I'm going to say one. All right. Hey, at least it's honest.

00:08:21.260 --> 00:08:24.820
I'm going to say one. Wow. Wow.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:56.320
Yeah. All had a pro. So you had 120 Hertz refresh rate.

00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.600
The speakers are nice. Like the audio wise, like just playing music.

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.

00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:06.380
Nice. I had the same experiences as Natalie with the phone.

00:09:06.380 --> 00:09:09.700
I actually didn't like my watch very much. I found it wasn't working.

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.

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.

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

00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:29.060
really inconvenient because halfway through with the next day it dies.

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

00:09:33.520 --> 00:09:36.660
and then it doesn't monitor the sleep or do any of these other things. Yeah.

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

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

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.

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?

00:09:58.560 --> 00:10:02.340
Yes. 100% and the weight. I 100% agree with you.

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

00:10:06.460 --> 00:10:09.980
true. Well, even if you did drop it, thankfully Dbrand sent over those cases.

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.

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.

00:10:19.380 --> 00:10:22.880
Okay. It didn't damage the phone though, right? The phone is fine.

00:10:22.880 --> 00:10:25.880
It's just a screen protector that cracked. Yeah, same here. We're good.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.240
Or any of the fitness stuff. The notifications were driving me absolutely bonkers.

00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:00.140
Oh, interesting. Okay. The notification issues with the watch or the phone?

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

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,

00:11:10.660 --> 00:11:13.820
all of those same notifications come back. Like when you slide away on your phone.

00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:16.820
Yeah. And it's still, yeah, okay, that is true. I think.

00:11:16.820 --> 00:11:19.820
So you had that issue too. Yeah. Okay.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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?

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

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?

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

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

00:12:13.180 --> 00:12:16.700
it now. I will say doesn't Android also have that feature?

00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:19.780
At least the Samsung, like you can turn it on live. The Pixel have that too.

00:12:19.780 --> 00:12:22.780
Yeah. You just have to turn it on. There is now a feature with it.

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

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:32.440
iPhone does something, Android moves towards it like no headphone jack.

00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.440
Or the other way around, you know, sometimes.

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

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

00:12:44.640 --> 00:12:47.640
button? I missed the back button. Yeah, back button.

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.

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.

00:12:58.100 --> 00:13:01.100
Did any of you guys try gestures on the iPhone, whether it's swiping or something?

00:13:01.100 --> 00:13:04.220
I did use gestures too. Okay. It just wasn't as convenient sometimes.

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.

00:13:07.980 --> 00:13:12.460
One other hardware thing was I kind of joked about lack of headphone jack or whatever.

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.

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.

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:26.240
Yeah. That was part of your purchase. Yeah.

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,

00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:33.560
walk outside and then audio didn't cut out whatsoever.

00:13:33.560 --> 00:13:37.440
It was actually crazy. Well, there you go. That's definitely a positive.

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

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?

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

00:13:50.220 --> 00:13:55.460
a picture, but because of the actuation, it just, it just, it just ruins.

00:13:55.460 --> 00:13:58.700
Got it. Did any of you guys need to try the shutter button and use it?

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.

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

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.

00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:16.120
But with that being said, the telephoto lens on that camera was actually crazy.

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?

00:14:21.280 --> 00:14:26.400
Yeah. That's zoomed in with the telephoto lens.

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.

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?

00:14:36.760 --> 00:14:39.760
What is this thing called? Apple Pay. Apple Pay.

00:14:39.760 --> 00:14:42.780
Got it. You accidentally take a photo. Oh, I see.

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.

00:14:46.860 --> 00:14:49.860
My shoes. Yeah. Awesome.

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.

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?

00:14:57.540 --> 00:15:00.540
I would say seven. Seven.

00:15:00.540 --> 00:15:03.900
Because are you enjoyed it overall more than your Android?

00:15:03.900 --> 00:15:07.460
I would say about a six and a half. Okay. A little bit more.

00:15:07.460 --> 00:15:10.460
Eight. Wow. The highest score so far again.

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

00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:23.120
using iOS 18? Oh, I loved Face ID.

00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:26.120
Face ID. Yeah. That was so fast.

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.

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.840
Or for apps like banking apps or whatever, just general login.

00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:35.840
It was so nice. Got it. And you're nodding in agreement.

00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.840
Yeah. Face ID as well. Yeah, pretty fast.

00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:42.740
That's great. One thing that I really found better was the voice to text.

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

00:15:46.620 --> 00:15:49.620
wrong at the beginning, based on the rest of the sentence, it was correcting it after

00:15:49.620 --> 00:15:52.780
the fact, which was so nice. Oh, that's nice. Yeah.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.600
Yes. Okay. Okay.

00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.600
So you had it on your iPhone watch. Perfect. You mentioned speech to text.

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.

00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.840
Okay, everyone's unanimous agreement here.

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

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

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

00:16:42.260 --> 00:16:46.500
the space bar and my senses look all stupid.

00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:49.980
You're nodding in agreement. Did you struggle with the same thing? Yeah, pretty much.

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

00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:56.980
a space before exclamation marks or question marks or anything like that.

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

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.

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

00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:17.960
every time. Got it. On that Apple.

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:20.960
So that was my... When you're in accounting, that is a huge thing. Yeah.

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.

00:17:26.040 --> 00:17:29.080
It doesn't remember the setting that I had it in.

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.

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.

00:17:40.020 --> 00:17:44.100
So video or photo or portrait, that's what that setting was for.

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.

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.

00:17:53.700 --> 00:17:56.700
Really? With the Apple CarPlay? Yeah.

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.

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.

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.

00:18:12.080 --> 00:18:16.400
I was able to download Google Keyboard and use that instead, which was slightly better,

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?

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

00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:27.820
why I just keep up partway through. I'm sorry. I don't know why.

00:18:27.820 --> 00:18:30.980
Maybe I was trying to commit and trying to use it properly.

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

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?

00:18:41.100 --> 00:18:45.380
iPhone users always talk about how amazing it is to AirDrop or Transfer Files or anything.

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?

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

00:18:52.940 --> 00:18:56.420
use my MacBook a whole lot, but I figured just for this I would try it.

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

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,

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

00:19:12.080 --> 00:19:15.640
Apple ecosystem, so I didn't actually get to benefit from that.

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

00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:23.720
close together, you can actually transfer contacts between each other, and I guess no

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

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?

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

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

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

00:19:53.260 --> 00:19:56.260
FaceTime, just use WhatsApp call, right?

00:19:56.260 --> 00:19:59.800
If anybody else has any final comments though, what would it be about?

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.

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:09.520
I did it on Thursday. Okay, what are your thoughts?

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

00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:18.280
super smooth, but I do really like the look of it, it does look much nicer.

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.

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.

00:20:26.420 --> 00:20:29.420
So you could do that with your Android. Yeah, you could.

00:20:29.420 --> 00:20:32.420
You could have done that a long time ago.

00:20:32.420 --> 00:20:36.220
Dynamic Island, I don't get the point of it. Oh.

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.

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

00:20:48.900 --> 00:20:52.780
to try it? No, like I click it and it doesn't do anything.

00:20:52.800 --> 00:20:56.040
It's supposed to like open and show you your music that's playing or.

00:20:56.040 --> 00:21:01.760
Well, I can swipe down, that happens. I do agree, it is quite an ugly eyesore.

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

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

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

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

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.

00:21:23.540 --> 00:21:26.540
Yeah, I didn't know. Oh. You can't sort by rating?

00:21:26.540 --> 00:21:29.540
No. Okay. Is that a me thing or is that an app?

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

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

00:21:37.900 --> 00:21:40.900
the best one. Okay. Yeah.

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.

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

00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:53.960
just to download the app. I can't just click get and it will download.

00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:56.960
That's what I think. It's not paid. It's a free app.

00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:59.960
So why do I have to confirm with my face? Right? Got it.

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

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

00:22:06.760 --> 00:22:09.760
and get excited to work. Yeah.

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.

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.

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.

00:22:29.020 --> 00:22:33.420
Oh, well that's why they're telling you to download that one.

00:22:33.420 --> 00:22:39.460
The multitasking window, the fact that there's no close all button, stupid.

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.

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

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.

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?

00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.360
We'll use our same scale. Five is the exact same. 10 is it's better.

00:23:07.360 --> 00:23:10.360
One is it's worse. Three. Three.

00:23:10.360 --> 00:23:13.360
So just a little bit worse. Actually, no, I'm going to add it too. Okay.

00:23:13.360 --> 00:23:17.980
Quite a bit more worse. I'd probably say a five and a half.

00:23:17.980 --> 00:23:21.820
Okay. Yeah. So overall you think iOS was just a touch better.

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

00:23:28.140 --> 00:23:31.820
mimicked some of the same gestures and things like that that the iPhone did.

00:23:31.820 --> 00:23:35.140
So I don't know. For me, the biggest factor was Face ID.

00:23:35.140 --> 00:23:38.140
That really was. It saved so much time. Got it.

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.

00:23:41.140 --> 00:23:44.140
Wow. That's very interesting. Okay.

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,

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.

00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.400
I didn't have too many issues this whole time. There you go.

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

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.

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

00:24:11.040 --> 00:24:14.780
to re-download stuff. Is that a fair kind of comment to make?

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.

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.

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?

00:24:34.580 --> 00:24:38.420
I'm going back to my Android. You're going back to Android.

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

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

00:24:48.520 --> 00:24:53.000
iPhone. Not necessarily. I'm still team Android after the 30 days here.

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

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?

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.

00:25:11.100 --> 00:25:14.100
Should we do it? Right now? Let's do it.

00:25:14.100 --> 00:25:18.900
I have a coin in my purse. I didn't actually expect this coin flip.

00:25:18.900 --> 00:25:22.620
Android. Now we have to decide is it is heads, what's heads, what's tails?

00:25:22.620 --> 00:25:25.620
I don't know. You tell me. All right.

00:25:25.620 --> 00:25:28.620
Heads is Android's list. Okay.

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

00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:36.500
again. Maybe you'll rate it better this time.

00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:39.880
Maybe. That's so funny. All right.

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?

00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:46.240
I'm going to switch. There you go. Wow.

00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:50.920
You know what's funny is the predictions were Linus was like, no, Justin will definitely

00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:55.880
not switch and said no to Yvonne as well because of business calendar, but you left

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

00:26:00.360 --> 00:26:05.480
and you didn't switch. So that's a very, very, very funny final conclusion.

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:09.020
But thank you guys for trying iPhone for a month. Thank you. Thanks.

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.

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

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.

00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:27.260
That was also a two part series.
