Yea and tbh they hype if having an iPhone isn’t there I’ve used androids all my life and I got my first iPhone (iPhone 13) 9 months ago and I genuinely don’t see the hype of most the features I’m supposed to “hype” about

Yep I tell people all the time that they are just following trends with no actual reasoning.

Nowadays people are also considering samsunga flagships so, this thinking will be eventually gone

Most USA users do not think this. I use iPhone and I can see why some people would want android.

I can relate, 2 of my friends have an iPhone but they rarely ever use iMessage well because nobody uses cellular messaging and a lot of people think that iMessage is cellular messaging

Exactly none of my friends who own iphones ever uses iMessage 😂

yeah for that whatsapp is the main one for family and now insta for teens

True. Indian here… my friends who use iPhones still have the green bubbles, we literally don’t care as long as there’s WhatsApp.

That's great tbh

Time to ghost your bro'.

I'd take both the receipt and the phone back and keep my money.

What a waste. Next time keep your money.

Man, I just got the s24 ultra and this thing is top notch 👌 the features are just amazing and I've used android for years, but this last purchase I was actually considering an iPhone. After looking at their internal hardware and ecosystem, I decided there was no way in hell I was gonna sacrifice the better features, hardware, tech, and adjustments that android, specifically the Samsung Galaxy, has. The ONLY other phones I'd consider would be the newest Asus Rog, Think Phone, and maybe the new Moto flip. They had some pretty top notch features and hardware as well, specifically Rog, which I almost did buy.

I wouldn’t cry if someone were to give me a S24 or S23 Ultra but you probably gave him a boost mobile prepaid android phone so I don’t blame him 🤷🏻‍♂️

Cool

The walled garden is almost as bad on Windows or Android these days. I just get the product that is easiest to work with, doesn't have weird errors or malfunction and allows me to get stuff done.

I like the freedom and independence! Isn't that's what America was all about? :O xD!!! I do have both iPhone 14 Pro Max and Samsung S23 Ultra and the S23 is like a 1 device that acts as an equivalent all 3 iPhone + iPad + a base model of a iMac. So the iPhone is basically my cheap camera cause the Sony Cameras a re 4x 5x the price of an iPhone and I am no pro xD!!!

I don't know why people would want to limit themselves to a text app anyways. Like don't you have friends on Facebook, insta, etc? I mean I'm pretty much 90% done quitting social media, but even I keep them because they're useful to message people. Screw looking at Facebook or insta, but I'd rather that than do text messages.

That’s a terrible analogy. We’re talking about a cell phone… is primary function is communication. Except modern day society rather text than make a phone call. Therefore, choosing a phone based on its messaging app is closer to buying a car based off of the horsepower it can deliver..

@@electrikoptik wow you sound like such a swell guy

We use SMS when we can't decide which other messaging system to use. I suggest Signal, Telegram or RCS; others suggest Messenger or WhatsApp. It is good as a common basis. BTW, RCS does not work without internet connection. So you almost certainly don't get RCS messages when you can't connect to the internet. You probably get SMS messages then.

Honestly it’s confusing text messages is so much more expensive.. I can get unlimited WhatsApp for 25 naira that’s less than 1 cents sooo why not whatsapp

You SMS. RCS needs the internet.

Yup! I too own an iPhone but it will never be the dominant one! It will mostly restrict itself to around 20-30% at best. And most of the iPhone people are buying are either 1-3 year old & bare basic 128GB models not, even the mid-level, so they are spending more for a lesser product. Also the Android update game is picking up at a great pace. And the price bracket where people are buying those iPhones, most Android companies give 2-3 yrs of update & most of them switch their device after 3-4 years, not much of a difference.

because a new chat app comes out every five minutes. one day its aol, then the next day everyone switches to yahoo. then it's google, then now everyone has blackberrys and they are using blackberry messenger, then its facebook, then everyone just gave up and everyone has "generic text messaging" on their phone as a default anyway let's just use that. The USA is not "A" place. it is a microcosm of dozens of local cultures that work independently and it is not likely that the entirety of the population will agree on a communication app. And then if they did ... IS that communication a monopoly? What kind of Walled garden would that communication app put up such as hailing a taxi , or ordering food, or paying your bills ... I'm not a lawyer maybe Apple is a monopoly ... maybe they are not one this is a lawsuit that will take years to resolve. One thing that lawmakers can do today is put pressure on wireless carriers to make the default text messaging more robust, to essentially make Imessage redundant in the first place.

@@BassRacerx two reasons Other apps allow crossapp integration Apple doesn't allow other apps and other devices to utilize iphone to the fullest, only apple products can do that Which is the monopoly problem in this case.

Exactly. Dumb ppl like to say "but samsung and google do the same thing" without noting that its apples fault bc they block it on their end.

Also it's important to point out that Android watches work with ANY android device, so the argument is really not the same as the Apple Watch. This means there's not just 1 company holding the monopoly over the ecosystem - anyone can be a part of it. There's various brands of watches and switching between those is seamless and non-restrictive. Apple is the one that doesn't like open source and wants to block compatibility.

I completely disagree. We have similar cases for Samsung, which costs around the same as an iPhone (10k for S24U). Heck, I paid 13k for my Fold. The thing is: stupid people like to brag about their expensive stuff, specially Brazilians. And even though these phones are expensive, Apple's market share is still way smaller than other companies.

@@alcrian8627Thats not entirely accurate. Yes, samsung and other flagship phones can be just as expensive, however you are not considering that outside Apple, most of the other brands have cheaper options, and those are extremely popular in Brazil. Apple doesn’t, unless you consider buying an used phone from somebody else as an option. The way that Apple portfolio works here doesn’t give brazilian customers cheaper options, if you take a look on the cheaper iphone currently on apple store is the iPhone SE for R$ 4.2k, which is also very expensive phone for most people here. And as I said, yes, we can’t tell for sure that if the prices were more affordable that would mean MS dominance, however, if we look at the market share for those in Brazil that CAN buy an iPhone, it’s pretty safe to bet that we would see the same behaviour in a larger scale.

Back when I first started using Samsung, this was true in the US too. The Galaxy lineup had features and specs that the iPhone wouldn't have for another 2 or 3 years and was still roughly half the price of the iPhone. Today, the prices are pretty much the same. Samsung still generally has better specs, but the prices have caught up as it became known as pretty much being the top of the line Android in the US.

As a brazilian myself, I can confirm this pathetic reality. Nothing like paying 2x the price because of taxes. And, hilariously, 99% of the people here thinks they're getting a completely superior device over your Galaxy S23+. Ignorance can certainly be bliss sometimes...

​@@ahmetemreboyaci what's wrong, is that if a company makes something sooo good and sooo innovative, then they should have the confidence to say like "hey, check this out, isn't this cool, feel free to check out everything else, but eventually, ur gonna come back to use cuz we're the best" But instead the company goes, "hey we got this new thing, that no one ever has made, check it out... But we're gonna make it sooo hard for u to try anything else so that u can compare if it's still the best..." Also, just for info sake, even comparing the power of an android chip, and an iPhone chip is becoming sooooo difficult that Test companies like Geekbench are admitting that their score now won't even be accurate because apple doesn't allow their tests to be run for a fair comparison... It's really good that they made the best phone, the best ipods, the best watch, the best everything... But if it IS the best, then let us see for ourselves right??? Imagine Bugatti or Rolls Royce making u sign a contract demanding a special license that only let's u drive their cars and disallows u from driving anything else... Last point I could make, is that suppose a guy only wants the best camera setup as his smartphone... He would go for the Sony... (Imagine he REALLY wants the DSLR integration feature, and wants to connect his Camera and Phone as one) But he also wants a good watch... But can't use the Apple watch... Also he needs some good buds... But can't use the IPods... (I mean he technically can, but if the features that make these gadgets THE BEST aren't available to him anymore, then what's the point??) Also his phone wont seamlessly integrate with his laptop (it by default is a Macbook as it has the best battery to performance right now) So he can't also use half of the features of his Macbook just because he doesn't have an IPhone... I really hope u see some clarity here...

I’m paying a premium not to deal with that. Noone caressss, Android world is just too lazy to compete with Apple’s products so now they’re just attacking them for their success

It's somewhat of a feedback loop because kids will be ostracized and bullied if they don't have an iPhone. They ask their parents for an iPhone because they'll get made fun of if they get something else

Cause the iPhone is American, why would they choose other products beside their home grown companies?

In regards to the messaging app thing, having seen this in school, it is genuinely a case of most people being too lazy/uninterested to even consider using an app that isnt built in. That, and a surprising amount of people my age aren’t aware of the existence of apps beside instagram and snapchat, so trying to get any amount of people to use anything else is basically impossible. The people who have never even looked in the settings of their phone will never use third party anything.

Mid 20s EU-Citizen here. It really is weird. I use an iPhone for various reasons (mainly smart home stuff) but I’m pretty open for other devices as well and might switch when matter finally takes of. And here it’s fine. I’m mostly using Signal and Discord for my communication. Half of my friends have Android phones and we’re all good. Basically everyone I spoke to in my life so far does not care about the phone. It’s the simple question of: WhatsApp, or Discord? Of course I met people that say the moment I get my phone out: „Eww you’re using an iPhone? What’s wrong with you, everyone knows iPhones suck“ to what I respond: „Why do you care about my choice of phone?! And when it’s so bad why would I care to use one?!“ That shuts up most people. I also experienced the other way around when I was using an Android phone. It’s just stupid. Let people use what they like and move on. I seriously don’t get why people get so upset over a friends choice of phone. We all have our preferences and needs and buy devices that fit these needs.

Same here in Ireland, I’ve owned almost every iPhone, I don’t even remember the last time I sent an iMessage! I don’t even have the default message app on my home screen. Most of my friends have iPhones, but we use WhatsApp for the most part or other 3rd party apps, never iMessage.

I live in Belgium, and as long as i can remember, and as long as Whatsapp has existed, my friends and family all use whatsapp to message or even call eachother. Even my boss uses whatsapp to send pictures and info. I'm so confused about all these blue and green bubbles, i barely even touched the standard messaging app on my phones in the last 10-15 years.

I use WhatsApp and iMessage daily. iMessage is by far and away the better experience.

your imessage in Germany is WhatsApp. the app itself is irrelevant, what matters is what everyone around you is use. Just so happens to be iMessage in America

This is actually still happening. It's like iMessage locks your phone number to their ecosystem, and texts won't be sent to the person's new phone

@@AbstractWerks Right, and you CAN unpair it, but frequently people are not aware what's going on.

I was going to the comments to point this out, but you described it perfectly. The problem really is the default messaging system we rely on was placed as a 2nd priority to iMessage and it grew into what it is today. While you can deregister your phone number from iMessage (which requires you to know this), it doesn't allow users to turn off iMessages entirely. I've personally experienced converting from iPhone to Android and not being able to message previous groups properly with what was once iMessage-only groups. I can send texts that are received by others, which they see as SMS/MMS, but I can't receive from any of the groups. Messages sent from the group are still only for iMessage receivers and I get completely left out. Only remedy I've found to this is for every iMessage user in that group to delete the thread so it can recreate as non-iMessage, which is awful. Compound that with any iMessage group I was once a part of and all those users have to delete the threads too. I've just decided its best to not even bug everyone and ask them to individually message me. There should have been an option for group messaging to turn off iMessage from the beginning.

the thing about this is imsg works with just an email, no phone number needed. when messaging the people who switched, you have to make sure youre texting the phone number and not the email

on my jailbroken iphone 3g there was an app called bitesms which is pretty much what imessage is today but worked on both apple (jailbroken) and android

What a isheep

I think he several times conflated the issues of apple the company and apple the ecosystem in his examples with Google. You can take you google watch and use it with any other Android phone - you have a ton of options about what company you purchase you phone from. You aren't locked into one company.

Same thought here

I was thinking that too, but maybe the term can be used in a few different ways. I suppose in the case of the earbuds for example they're vertically integrated in that they only work with each other. If they were horizontally integrated the company could buy generic tips to pair with the earbuds, but since they've designed them to be unique they're the only people who can legally make them.

Yeah this guy just doesnt know what vertical integration is

@GarryDeWitt You are correct, his examples of vertical integration are 100% wrong. What he is describing is a proprietary product ecosystem. Vertical integration would involve you taking control of different stages of the production or distribution processes within the industry. For example, if you made a camera lens, and also owned the glass company that manufactured the glass for your lenses.

Exactly, also means that they have control over their software and hardware so that it works efficiently. In this case apple has vertical integration yes, but that's not the problem, vertical integration is just a feature, something they have that they use to lock people in the ecosystem, so it becomes hard for them to leave the iPhone.

The issue isn't that apple makes good products that work with their phones, it's that they so actively disallow others from making a competing product because they own most of the market that product would be used with. No one can make a competitor to say the apple watch because apple won't let it work on their phones

Well not illegal, nobody would just buy Canon and they would go out of business. Nikon at this point is very protective of Z-mount. No Sigma art lenses for Z-mount. is that illegal or just protecting its own business.

@@ValtersPelns if they would do it with 60% market share that would be illegal and actually exactly why anti trust laws exist. They would not go out of business with that market share, your assumption that nobody would buy their products is clearly disproved by reality. We had monopolies and anticompetitive behavior exhibits from many companies, Apple is just one of the many.

@@stereodark Well, costumers vote with their wallets. If being locked is okey, then they buy in. 🤷 Legal, illegal thats on countrys law shoulders. As long companies are not talking internally about pricing agreements I am fine with it.

@@stereodark Apple has been doing this since its inception. Steve Jobs didn't want any customer or competitor tinkering with Apple products from the very first Apple I. It strikes me as unfair that you can execute your vision, but when you're successful with that vision (i.e. 60% market share), you're suddenly doing something illegal, and you're forced to change.

Wallet garden. 😂

Pretty simple. Imagine Europe. Now imagine all of the European countries fall under the same country code. Why in the world would I need to use a 3rd party app that spies on me to communicate to close people? Americans never needed a 3rd party app to communicate to each other in the first place so the eco system didn't catch on as much as Europe. And Apple made it so that their users didn't have to necessarily install those apps. After 15+ years of not improving their text function, Android finally implemented a similar system to Apple and is now crying foul that it's not compatible. GTFO.

​@@jhpjhun That's a cool story but why are you crying?

​@@jhpjhun But you trust apple to manage all your iMessage data just because? "GTFO"? Butthurt that someone doesnt like the same multibillion dollar company as you do? lmao

@@jhpjhun "Americans never needed a 3rd party app to communicate to each other in the first place..." Have you heard about NSA warrantless surveillance. Americans definitely needed a well encrypted communication service. L comment.

its only iMessage.

You mean ✅

@mkbhd u used AOTs analogy.

​@@ian.williamsonNo that's green

Walls are thicc

Yes and it was free Blackberry to Blackberry texting while it cost money on SMS. BBM had most of the features, including read notifications from the other person.

@@hhtrinh blackberry crawled so apple could sprint.

This summed it up for me so well. I was in high school when the iPhone started taking over and Blackberry fumbled.

​@@BassRacerxmore like blackberry tripped over and never got up again, while Apple sprints past them

every single mkb vid*

that part, i love my tech video but a lot are high paced, high energy, this was really relaxing.

Apple has introduced M series chip, Vision Pro and many innovations in Mac like Dynamic Cache and game porting tools that takes games in weeks instead of months from windows to mac...

If a software feature with IP is deemed to be functional on other devices they could do something like lowering the years on the patent. What you’re saying is true but if I can’t be the sole proprietor of something for at least some time to reap the rewards I have less incentive to innovate

capitalism naturally leads to anti competitive behavior. it is thousands of times more profitable to prevent competition than it is to actually invest in it.

@@PSy84 for apple haters nothing apple does is valid. Apple is one of the most innovative companies on the planet...but it is never enough for some people because they are only looking for something to hate about apple

Not really a fair comparison. If you bought a PC you had windows and there was no other choice. There are other phones even beyond the Samsung

​@@customledandfiberopticsinc2756 well I mean, you do have options if you buy a PC. You can get ChromeOS which is honestly not half bad nowadays, Linux, and then there's Macs. So in that respect I'd say it's a pretty fair comparison. There's plenty of smartwatch options out there that "work" with iPhone, but are limited in capability purely due to the fact that it's paired to an iPhone, and that's not by the smartwatch manufacturers choice. It's more akin to if Microsoft limited the DPI or input latency on my mouse because I didn't buy the stupid bendy mouse that they make. And then they also made it to where that stupid bendy mouse doesn't work with any other operating system. Wouldn't that be insane?

@@CyanaraOfficial Bad take because he is referencing the Microsoft Antitrust case. Back then Microsoft had a marketshare of like 95%. (Linux and MacOS did exist back then too though.) I'd argue however that there is no point in letting the monopoly happen when it's obvious Apple is engaging in extremely anticompetetive behavior AND at a near 90% market share in the next generation of consumers. So them getting a monopoly and holding it anticompetetively is just a matter of time.

@@customledandfiberopticsinc2756 and once you get an iPhone, you're locked in until you get another one at least. my point was more about allowing the watch to do things other watches cannot even if they want to

There is an app that is open source /platform agnostic called local send. As long as your on the same WiFi network.

That's nice, but Bluetooth only works when you're near each other and in such a case it's easier to find a solution than when you're far away.

​@@zorgish4439 yes but bluetooth is built into the damn phone. Theres whatsapp too, but americans dont use it do they? You'd hear people complaining that they dont want to download one more app to chat.......except if its messenger or snapchat that is perfectly fine somehow.

@@xdevs23 if you are in the same classroom, proximity really isn't an issue. There are solutions like Moodle that work as cloud storage for something like a script.

Stop asking for more government control. Start demanding better if the companies making these products.

Anything that uses Bluetooth works with both an iphone and android. Literally all they have to point to is that stupid watch that I can't believe is still for sale. What this should be about is right to repair, and the way Apple doesn't even let you use an aftermarket battery now without giving you a nag message.

YES... EXACTLY.... apple does not allow 3rd party products to work well with their ecosystem and if they did, they would charge that 3rd party company so much, the 3rd party company would just drop out and focus on other mobile platforms.

@@criticaleventthis is only partially correct. They do work in the basic sense, but they are not allowed feature parity even when the developers are capable of delivering it in android.

@@criticaleventimagine that Dolby or THX kept the science behind Surround Sound behind a wall. Saying “anything will work via Bluetooth” is like saying “any speaker will work in your home theater via TRS.” The point isn’t simply connecting the speaker, it’s the ability to use it a way you want despite having paid for adequate hardware. I collect headphones, I’ve got a lot, and AirPods are my daily drivers - I think they sound good, and their transparency/noise cancelling sounds the best to me. Those are perfectly fine reasons for Apple to sell me AirPods over something else. Their refusal to let other headphone manufacturers use the code that allows for in-iOS control of headphones or automatic switching is not. I have the AirPods, they should maintain their feature set no matter where I use them. I have the iPhone, I should get iPhone benefits even with third party headphones.

@@seapanda-117 What are you talking about?

Controls its own app store. Not the total app market. Just the one on its own devices. They're very careful with who they let touch the OS

their requirements for building apps is insane, and you need to pay just to build and deploy on the app store, you need special software in order to code the apps, its just a bunch of hops they want people to jump through to lock them down once they are in.

@@jasonmartin364 personally, if it keeps shovelware and garbage to a minimum on the App Store then I’m fine with it

Couldn’t agree more. That’s not vertical integration that just plain how things works from a company

@@jasonmartin364 simple solution... just don't build apps for them. Instead of everybody complaining that they're so strict and whatnot, if developers all focus heavily on android, it'll hurt apple pockets and force their hand, but who wants to see actual change when you can just come complain about it on social media for likes...

what a cruel world we live in now…

That is the problem instead of teaching kid these thing doesn't matter you prove bullies right after buying I phone for kid

Damn. I’d stop being friends with such jerks …

I wonder if this is a similar to the issue with big and heavy trucks in the US, that never used for hauling/towing.

See them as classmates not friends....
