One thing I really will miss about android is the way the notifications are shown. Switching to iOS for the first time:)

Honestly. I really enjoed your review. I love iOS and Android. I don't know why but I love certain things on the iPhone and certain things on Android. They're both amazing.

As an avid Android user, I'm glad you did an iPhone review. Your reviews are always on point, and unbiased. That's why your content is so refreshing. Just telling it exactly how it is.

As a hard apple enthusiast: I appreciate your review; You’re one of the only youtubers who provided a complete unbiased review on the iPhone 12. Keep killing it brother👏

The only reviewer who spilled the beans about mag safe. It's obviously a wired alternative

I actually changed from an android (8 year android user) to this phone. I haven't regretted it honestly. Thing Im missing the most is the finger print sensors

Mag safe solves a problem that doesn't exist.

If i could jam the like button, I would. Production quality on another level.

How did no one else point out until now that MagSafe charging is just a needlessly annoying and expensive way to wirelessly charge?

I appreciate that when I put this video on full screen, it fits my galaxy s20 ultra PERFECTLY!

What I appreciate about the IOS it’s just very simple. But Android gives you the freedom to what ever the heck you want with it. Both are amazing.

Honestly I’m the same I’ve been android through and through all my life, I knew as soon as I saw the 12 that it was a special phone, the size the design and the features, for the first time ever apple had me convinced. I have my 12 now and I can safely say I wouldn’t go back to android unless they make some big changes

As an Apple girl, I’ve just gone Samsung S20 FE😂 (here in Australia, the Apple tax just priced itself out of my budget)... and I have to say, using IOS14 possibly prepared me for the customisable Android experience. Plus, not being tied into in any particular ecosystem helped.

Android user here too and I switched from s10+ to 11 pro and I miss my android lol but I love both sides though 🤙🏿

the quality of this video is incomprehensible, some of those shots are literally better than apple's commercials themselves. sweet damn.

Can't agree more on "replacement for wire charging." 😁😁😁

"slightly worse performance in dynamic range" That was so funny, as just as you were saying this a literal nuclear explosion happened behind you.

I do like iPhones but I also have a deep hate for Apple, does that make sense? Cus it does to me 😸

i switched from an lg aristo 4+ to the green iphone 12...i’ve used my parents s20+ and ultra and i can say that iphone, personally, trumps that experience immensely. i love this phone so much, also seeing as it’s my first iphone.

Sam your edits and shots are galloping forward in quality and style. Good on you man, keep her going.

I’ve heard a lot of Tech KZfaqrs say that don’t really notice too much of a difference with the refresh rate so it just makes me wonder if the iPhone feels that smooth with only a 60hz panel the what is it going to feel like with a 90hz or 120hz panel! 😳 I’m honestly excited to see it

Finally someone who has the same thoughts as me with the mag safe. A two handed job, no difference from wired charging

I have really given Android a go this year, I switched from an iPhone 11 to a Oneplus 8t and I hated it, it really was a bad experience but instead of jumping back I swapped the Oneplus for a galaxy s20+ 5g, the experience was much better than the Oneplus but... I really dont like Android, there's something to be said for iOS and how optimized it is, simple things like apps fitting the screen and continuety between different app, also the customisation of Android seems to be a "selling point" but for me it's just a bit gimmicky and no theme is ever as good as the stock version anyway, the amount of app crashes is insane, I have had to restart my phone more times in the last month due to weird freezing, or apps not working or Bluetooth than in the last 7 years on iOS. I have just ordered an iPhone 12 out of sheer frustration.

Man the most honest review I have seen! I just switched to iPhone 12 and am telling you these are the exact thoughts i got! This channel is wayyyyy underrated

I came from s10 to 12 pro and I kinda miss some android functionality. I do like the camera and phone quality of my 12 pro.

I am an android user, the only difference for me is android can download apks and pirated games and apps for free while iPhone can't pirate or download apks

As you may or may not know. When you mentioned about the shortcut feature for customisation; in the latest version you will now get a notification when using a shortcut. So no more having to wait a beat before the app actually opens 👍 great review still and keep it up!

I never really felt why it was iOS vs Android, both are incredible. I just usually pick up whichever has a better deal, love them both and this review was spot on. Glad to live in an age where we have such amazing phones, both kinds.

I've just returned my iPhone but it was such a close call. The iPhone is a great phone. Some of my use cases weren't there. Android's Work Profile is a killer feature allowing me to completely separate the two accounts. Also some amateur radio apps that are Android only. I've dropped my Pixel to 60Hz as I can't see the difference. iPhone power management is nice. Smaller battery than the Pixel but I noticed same longevity. The flip side is some things like Garmin and Google Photos didn't happen in the background. So yes the iPhone is a really nice phone. My use cases move me to Android. I'll consider Apple again though.

The video performance from the 12 is pretty damn amazing.

I only have one thing to say. I've never seen any of your videos but KZfaq has offered me this. And I must say watching this single video had made me subscribe. Great content, great production. Can't wait to watch your older and new videos. Plus massive shout out for easily sharing your setup. Thank you

The Nord's in the back look super cool! I'm an Android fanboy too but I've been using the 12 as my primary, I've to say I need my Nord & 12 to maintain a balance of both worlds, it's hard to detach from Android completely, media consumption on my Android is so easy while getting work done is so much easy on the iPhone....

It is the interactions between the devices that brings it to a completely different level. One item at a time is about 25% of the value of the seamless use between the other products. I use my iPad to control my iPhone or the other way around. Then how many different ways can this be done between the other apple products? It is then you will see why people like apple married products.

When Arthur Shelby Sees a fooking iPhone

Having just tried the 13 Pro as a former Apple user, I was quickly reminded of how non-user friendly it all is. It feels like copium when people shout about it's usability, when in reality, Android has tons of straightforward QoL that Apple straight up denies you the use of. There were so many little things you did to achieve something that took less steps or easier to reach steps to achieve on Android. For starters, why the hell is the Settings app not addable to the Settings swipe-down???

I'm using an iphone now because I need to polish an app to iOS ( Apple has very strict rules about what it accepts on Apple store, they have rules for login, payments, design, etc and they will reject your app at the minimal thing, sometimes delaying project deadlines). IPhones are great and simple. Android's are great and can be simple or complex. The only reason I don't buy an iPhone for myself is that I don't think it's worth 800-1200$. The same way I don't think the new flagship androids are worth 700-1000$. I don't game or edit video on phones for example. Your review is very unbiased and you made very fair comparisons. Well done

Hey bro, love your in depth and elaborate reviews, but was unable to find any oneplus 8T review

And i switched from ios to android and honestly I'm amazed with Android and note 20 ultra. Only thing I could say that I've been missing is safety that ios gives you

It's lovely watching your videos in this glorious 21 by 9 aspect ratio

I switched to iPhone 12 from an galaxy s8 and I actually like it better. It’s so smooth and streamlined. Super nice.

As usual, a great review! Became an Android user after 10 years of apple, 2 years ago. Also think of the more simplicity over ios but like so much the customization android provides.

As an iOS user trying to find an unbiased review, this was super good. I use iOS, but have no issue with android. I’ve been looking for a simple review that covers everything from an unbiased perspective, and doesn’t go into all of the complicated tech parts of the phone Thanks for doing this review!

Regarding the camera app: U cant still fookin pause a video while recording it and then continue recording from another spot. U have to end it and start a new one. Its still gonna be 2 video files.

When disconnecting the MagSafe you use your back fingers to slide the MagSafe puck off to the side and it’s really easy to do with one hand.

Use the Icon Theme shortcut to bypass the shortcuts launch in custom icons. However, they only work on 3rd party apps :)

One thing I took for granted is a Notification Light when ur phone is off that be nice

I like MagSafe a lot. The cord feels more out of the way (you can rotate it) and the puck is like a pop socket. And it’s really easy to detach one handed idk what he’s talking about. It’s strong enough to dangle your phone but not much more.

With the iPhone 12 Pro you can get this cropped in look of the Portrait photo. You can create a Portrait at 1x zoom or 2.5x zoom.

your way of recording is just magnificent.

0:00 it kind of sounds like a rap verse if you think of it

One of the best unbiased and informative reviews I’ve seen. Subscribed

After 3 years of using an iPhone I bought a Note 20 ultra, used it for a month and went back to iPhone,. I had a lot of problems with my Ford sync 3 system the phone sometimes work other times it got stuck and it had issues with my Honda 2019 infotainment system as well. Now with my 12 Pro Max everything works flawless and great. One of the things I miss is the 120h refresh rate after a month of use and having it you really feel the difference going back to a 60H refresh rate. Another thing that is great on Android is the Opera web browser it has a setting that fixes the text when you pinch to zoom it's very convenient, you can zoom in or out and the text will auto fix to the size of your screen it's great.

Perfect iPhone review from an Android users perspective. 👍🏽

magsafe is an absolute joke. I rather just use my wired charger that also charges fast.

Nice review. The reason I switched was simply guaranteed, timely iOS upgrades for years to come. I got so tired of waiting for Android updates only to find out it would be 6 mos to a year, and then sometimes cancelled altogether. Apple simple supports their phones better.

I am here on this channel for the first time. In the first few seconds of this video I guessed that the guy is Australian Got confirmation at 4:02 😂

I miss timed messages (example: it's 3am but u don't want to wake them so you set the text to be sent at 8am)

I agree with that "hiccup point"

I’ve been and Android user since they first started selling them. I’ve got an iPhone 12 only to find my mother if she gets lost because she has dementia. I did it only for this reason. The iPhone 12 is ok. Apple Maps and Siri is seriously way behind. My previous S9 rocked. I so wanted the S21.

wow, i was surprised of how bright and clear the sound was on the video shot with the iPhone. i'm an iPhone guy but have an old one and that choked me ! amazing.

Good video as always. I am still debating on what phone I want as an upgrade of my current Oneplus 6. There's nothing wrong with it at all, however sometimes you just have the luxury problems of wanting something new. As an all time Android user, not so much a deep diver like yourself, I thought it might actually be a good idea to try something completely different. And by that I would make the swap to iOS for the first time, just to get that experience also. Making these decisions are surprisingly difficult with so many options available, even if I decide to not go for an iPhone at all.

Here I am loving each and every content you put out!

Dude thank you for filming in ultrawide

Switched to iPhone recently after 10+ years of Android. It's a very functional and beautiful enticing jail cell. As long as they have 100% control over what apps I can install on my phone it will never really feel like home. Apple, Google and Amazon colluded to run Parler out of business but at least in Android's case you can run a degoogled ROM and/or sideload apps and use alternative app stores.

I just moved to the Xs Max. Liking it so far; but my true love will always be the Note20 Ultra.

Nice to see you're a cricket fan too! Are you excited for the upcoming Ind-Aus series?

Your videos are amazing! I really hope your grinding pays off soon!

I have both a Oneplus 7t Pro Mclaren and the 11 pro max. I honestly I think custom icons and widgets on iPhone, are a hot mess...You literally spend a hour trying to get a setup like yours and it takes 2 min to change all that and fonts in android. Its a nice step, but still a cluster and way too complicated for simple app widgets and icons.

Wow, two handed action to get the magsafe charger disconnected... yeah, that’s a hard one to pull off!

Android is becoming more restrictive?

I like how you don’t hate Apple or Android. I like how you respect both Softwares and Company’s. I’m more of an Android fan but I still use Apple because I look forward to Simplicity in the Softwares. I just got the 12 because of this video and it really is great!

Enjoyed this video, particularly your effortless delivery 👌🏼

Um no dude Android hasn't become more restrictive, the amount of customisation you can do is astonishing and thats never changed, you must've been using a weird Android phone if you actually think that.

Last week i got money enough to buy a 12 pro max. But i bought OP 8T instead.

One thing i miss on android is split screen multitasking. I miss watching youtube vids and scrolling through twitter at the same time

FYI for anyone who wants to know. With the last part where he talks about the creating the shortcuts 8:45 , this has been fixed in IOS 14.3 which launched yesterday 12/14. So, it doesn't have to open through the shortcut app anymore. It goes directly to the app. Also, great video, I recently decided to make a switch to Iphone from android just to check it out. I share a lot of the same opinions, but overall I'm loving the new experience and everything just works well for me.

Really nice and interesting review. I've been using android for years and have been pretty OK with it. The design of the iphones and the camera and all that is really great, but there's two reasons why I probably won't switch to iPhone. One is the OS. iOS is great for those who can work with it. It's pretty fluent and looks pretty good, but lots of stuff that I use on android on a daily basis just don't work with ios and all in all I have had quite negative experiences working with ios which is a big point for me to never switch to ios. And two is the price. I am just not ready to pay 999$ for a phone. It might be worth the price for some people but I would never pay that much for a phone. Not even the best android. All in all, iphones are great for those who can work with them and are used to it or for those who value security (i.e. FaceID). I'm pretty happy with my android and am not thinking of switching any time soon, still a good video and I definitely agree a lot with you.

$80 for the MagSafe in Australia? Damn...

Great video. I’ve had every galaxy phone since the s2, I made the switch to Apple with the 12 and I must say, I’m glad I switched. I absolutely love android, and Samsung in specific, but I can honestly say I’ve switched over

You’re right about the wireless charging. I just use the normal lightning cable and that’s it. I pick up the phone when it’s done charging and continue with my day!

awesome review and the quality of video, audio, edition and production in general is at least 1mil worthy, subbed. also, love how u say “charger” lmao

For sure SAM will BECKMAN one of the greatest KZfaqr of all time.

I'm not a fanboy but I think you have it completely wrong regarding the MagSafe complaints. The whole issue with wireless charging is that people can't charge and use their phone at the same time. That's why I and millions of others have stuck to wired charging for all these years. MagSafe solves that problem by having wireless charging when you need it - but also being usable while charging, honestly it's brilliant. Thats just my two cents, thanks for your review.

iOS 14.3 dropped and now it does not force you into the shortcuts application first when using different icons. Great vid!

"80 damn bucks" 😂😂😂

Magsafe is also drastically slower than wired 20W charging.

your unpopular opinion about the magsafe charger is 100 percent correct ! it is a vague wired charger replacement not a true wireless charger cuz it's kind of stuck on the phone

Magsafe is just a different way of wired charging. But you could easily make it your definition of wireless by embedding the Magsafe puck in a heavy base so that when you lift the phone up, the Magsafe puck stays in place. I haven't checked Etsy yet, but I'm sure someone has or will be selling something like that.

This is the best review points i have ever seen in the last 5 years

I want to just Super glue the Magsafe to my table lol....

Just wanted to point out (and this is what I personally do), if you grip the phone from the front and roll your fingers to the back, you can push the magsafe charger off the back with your middle finger quite easily for a very quick one handed operation. This is coming from someone with smaller hands.

I switched from apple to note 10 plus and I miss nothing. Zero regret.

The video of him speaking honestly feels like he's lip syncing

listening to the way he says: “i” me: yeaahh.. hes australian

this was great, though you are an "android fanboy" I never once thought this felt like a biased review like I do with LTT and Unbox Therapy. they seem to focus on the faults of the phones rather than give a comprehensive review of the phone as a whole. I am an "apple fanboy" but I love to get the other side of things and finally I feel like ive found a channel that does that fairly. keep it up dude, this one video is enough to make me subscribe.

I use the MagSafe & I just pretty much slide it off with one hand as I pick up the phone not sure why everyone says it’s a 2 handed job to detach it

Man, I've been following your channel for 3 years now and I just learned you're Australian, not British 😂

More Android customization plz.

You done a really good review! Nice to see a android fan doing a decent review of a iPhone, not just sitting there slating the phone and users throughout the video! I agree with MagSafe it is more of a replacement for wired charging, I’m looking forward to next years line up where we would have a port-less iPhone. I actually love mag safe. I’m a big apple fan :)

Long term Google user...pixel1 then Pixel 3! Looking to jump onto the iPhone12 for a change of scenery...and that it seems iPhone just lasts longer (my pixels start to decline big time around 2 years). I've been on the fence for a week and still struggling!
