iOS thirteen point five point one over here
 for the iPhone and we also got the June security patch for Android and I just thought about how similar are these software's here which one is the better pic here middle of 2020 where software. is really very important to our lives a lot of us need our phones these days so let's discuss the various elements of them and so for this comparison I'm using the pixel for Excel which is most representative I think of the clean version of Android the way it was intended here now the first thing I want to talk about is just kind of navigating the OS so essentially they are the same when it comes to the home screen just swiping left and right but what's very different is that you still have the ability to place icons wherever you want of course on the Android side whereas with Apple and of just flies up to thenearest you know application you could see like that and I really hope that someday we can just bring it down not don't come at me with that oh you could ust jailbreak it Nick I don't want a jailbreak it I want this stock I want it the way it comes right out of the iPhone box I want to be able to just kind of be able to at least bring apps down if I want so they don't have to sit up here if I don't have as many apps that willtake up the whole second page for example so I do think Android still is quite nice there now the Android OS navigating around still has the app drawer which once you get used to it you might actually like this a lot because everything is in alphabetical order so it's pretty easy to kind of just think about okay if I want to go to YouTube I'm gonna go all the way to the bottom because that starts with the letter Y whereas with the iPhone you're just gonna type it up here in the universal search but the Google phone also does have the universal search which you could type right there or if you bring it back home you could just do it right here from the bottom of the home screen so that's pretty nice now navigating the gesture system is also quite similar on both of these with Android 10 the Google pixel now has gestures and they're very smooth as well and I think the main reason why it's just as smooth on the pixel as the iPhone here is that the pixel brought the 90 Hertz hardware to this phone also if you look across other phones like the Samsung Galaxy series or even the oneplus series because those phones have 120 Hertz displays even bigger than this refresh rate the gestures on those phones are also quite smooth now when it comes to getting to your recent apps you do just hold up there on the Google you hold up like that for the iPhone and one thing that is very similar on both of these is kind of like the way you go through the application so you'll swipe through to get to your second page and like that yeah it's a little bit different looking but it's pretty similar the Google pixel does have a clear all button so if we go right there we can just clear all the applications whereas with the iPhone you could it comes to the recent applications trade think it's a little bit easier to clear them on the pixel if you'd like to clear your apps a lot but when it comes to just our overall you know performance when it comes to you the gestures I gotta say that the iPhone still feels a little bit smoother sometimes but that 90 Hertz just made the pixel very good as well so they're pretty even when it comes to the gestures also in the pixelwhen we go to navigation you can actually change it to you know three button navigation if you liked it how it used to be on Android also on samsung devices you also have different ways to navigate like this as well you can even hide the gesture bar if you would like and if we go into settings here you can change this back sensitivity and one thing I do like about the pixel is that you can go back like this on either side of the screen and basically system-wide let me go over here you see how I went back right there so I leave it on here I'm the right side I can go back as well now with the iPhone you actually have to perform a task before you're gonna go ahead and be able to go back for example if I'm on the webpages I can swipe back like that on iOS I can also go forward like this in the web pages but the Android device kind of does it on either side no matter what you're doing you just got to swipe from those edges so that's a really nice Android 10 feature some could say well they copied it from iOS because they already we're doing that kind of from the left and you could say that's true but at the same time both of these systems operate so similar in 2020 next up is of course the customization is pretty much endless on the pixel you can change different launchers so if we go to Play Store you can download tons of different launchers and just really change up the entire experience of your pixel device you can make it a Microsoft launch around here and just run it with the Microsoft launcher so you can really just change it to your own liking that's still a very strong case to use an Android phone whereas with iOS it still looks pretty similar that it looked ten years ago with this software over here yeah there's a lot of new features for 2020 and of course with the notch and we have the gestures based system that's a little bit different than you know ten years ago but still the general overall iPhone experience hasn't changed whereas you can really just switch it up I do think that Android software has evolved a little bit faster than the iOS software which is just kind of been refining over the years so we do have Siri and Google assistant or you could say hey Siri to this phone or you could say okay Google to the Google pixel over here they're not gonna activate right now I turn them off for this video but if you go ahead and hold down the home button or tap the Google assistant here you can talk to these assistants on the phone so there's quite a bit they can do now assistant can do things like calculations weather you know setting alarm setting calendars Siri can do the same thing what's 25 times 2 what's 25 times 2 what is the capital of New York City what is the capital of New York City and so you can see they both will bring up web results and stuff like that so both of them are very good at search results stuff like that I do think Google is a little bit better with giving you specific answer to search queries whereas Siri seems a little bit more enjoyable to use for things like setting an alarm calendar setting reminders calendar events stuff like that but although the system will do that the assistance seems more search based whereas this seems more personal assistant but also includes some search based stuff as well now both of these do have very good dictation in 2020s so this is a test of the dictation feature on both the iOS phone and the Android phone both of them do respond pretty quickly and in real time however sometimes I find that the pixel keeps up with my voice a little bit faster than the iPhone but both of them are still very very good options for texting if you don't want to type out the message yourself so you see they both did very well however the Apple phone doesn't stop until you hit the keyboard whereas with the Google phone it will stop you know once you hit stop talking you don't have to hit the mic it will just stoponce you stop talking really both of them are very fantastic options for dictation in 2020 however the pixel does have a live caption feature which across the OS anytime I hear his voice it can kind of try to transcribe it there or so you can hear it no matter what so both the iOS phone and Android devices do have support for face unlock in mid 2020 the face ID or touch ID is your option for iOS devices in 2020 you'll have to go with the iPhone se if you want touch ID whereas you can get fingerprint you can use you could still use iris scanner if you get a second hand Samsung phone or even a you know a new one that hasn't been used yet but it's a couple years back like a note 9 for example so they both to have shortcuts on their applications however the Google phone is a little bit quicker here to go ahead and bring that shortcut up as Apple has this little delay due to the haptic press no longer 3d touch certain applications I think have more shortcuts on the iPhone for example the camera you can only take video take selfie over here you can do portrait record video take selfie so I do think more applications do support the shortcut on the iPhone so if you like doing this little shortcut stuff you probably will like the iPhone more when it comes to their control centers both of them do have great control however I will state that it's easier to edit the pixel device or the Android devices as you can edit them right from their notification panel up there and just
move applications around whereas with
the iPhone just like older days of
iPhone you have to do two steps you have
to go into your settings and then you
have to go to control center customize
controls and then you can move around
controls now for some this is not a big
deal but I think it'd be nice to have a
little edit option right here within the
control center over here both iOS and
Android typically offer a battery saving
mode again this depends on whether you
add a pixel Android a Samsung Android
but most of them do have
some type of battery saving option so
Android 10 does offer some digital well
being type features it'll tell you your
screen time unlocks all that stuff how
much time you've been spending on
certain apps whereas with the iPhone you
can look at your battery and kind of see
what you've been using you can also go
over here into screen time and it'll
give you a more more of a breakdown in
terms of what you've been using on your
phone in terms of which one's laid out
better I think really it comes down to
your own preferences here but the Google
version is still in beta whereas the
iPhone version is not in beta anymore
both of them do have ways to manage and
check out screen time and kind of what
you've been doing on your phone all this
time next up they both do have great
do-not-disturb functionality where you
can schedule out you know on the iphone
when you want to go ahead and have do
not disturb on you can allow different
calls over here on Android they're both
pretty similar in their do not disturb
functionality so there's great ways to
block out them unnecessary interruptions
that you don't want to have on your
phone daily and both phones both of them
in depth there so I don't think either
one is better than the other in that
area now one area where I do think
Android is better specifically on the
pixel over here is the spam features I
like about the pixels that will tell you
specifically when somebody is spam
calling you whereas over here on the
iPhone it'll silence unknown caller so
we'll go to silence unknown callers and
we'll be able to silence them so spam is
pretty well protected on both phones
however the Google phone gives you a
clear message like yo this this person
is spamming you this is a spam number
you probably don't want to answer it
really like that for the Android 10 over
here next up when it comes to their
updates they both do seem to get very
good amounts of updates Google has been
updating this phone every single month
basically since it came out last one was
just yesterday I mean this is the June
5th security patch thirteen point five
point one Apple as always is already on
thirteen point five point five beta
whatever they're always on the next
version of the software so apples still
in the lead usually when it comes to at
least letting everyone use the software
very fast newer versions of the software
betas and stuff like that right now
though I would say either phone you go
with definitely going to get nice amount
of update
especially if you want to go five years
or so you probably wanna go with the
iPhone but the pixel still hangs on
quite long you'll probably upgrade your
phone anyway before you're out of
updates so iOS at least on the newer
iPhones typically blocks the battery
percentage that's due to the not sure
seems to be no space but I think Apple
could put the battery cent percentage a
little bit inside of the battery or they
can make the battery icon just a little
bit's marks to squeeze him the battery
percentage whereas over here on the
Android device you could see it right
there so battery percentage you know you
can't really see it on the modern
version of iPhone iOS over here which
you have to swipe down to see it which
is another process so that's one area of
most Android phones I really like is you
can always see the battery percentage
not going to cover cameras that much
because the camera software really does
depend on the phone you're with because
like the pixel for example is mostly
focused on photography whereas a samsung
throws everything in the kitchen sink in
the phone and then you have some other
phones like the oneplus which are kind
of you know very clean but also not
overwhelming but still a little bit more
features going on than this pixel right
here which is mostly focused on
photography so it really does change but
the fact of the matter is most Android
software and iOS software have clean
camera UI is it can really just snap and
take good pictures with good focus and
good video most of the time one area
where the Android device seems to still
be ahead is always on display yes it
does increase your battery usage a
little bit but this is something I want
to see with iOS 14 I know Apple can do
this especially on the OLED display you
could see the clock will always show you
don't have to turn on your phone every
time you want to go ahead and get into
the device now next up is dark mode so
the dark theme is available here for the
iPhone and it's available here for the
Google pixel now the Google pixel is one
of the best versions of the dark theme
because it works in all the Google apps
which is a lot of what you probably use
on your Android device even the Google
Search app even the Gmail app everything
is dark tout on the new version of dark
theme for the pixels f1 does have a
great night shift mode as well as true
tone true tone or any feature like that
it's not really possible here on the
pixel but you could just throw on night
light bring it down and it kind of
emulates kind of what true tone does
now over here the bedtime mode also will
make the pixel black-and-white at a
specific time just a beautiful
experience on the eyeballs at night so
really either one of them is not going
to disappoint here they're both
excellent to use at night time if you do
decide to do that it's not gonna hurt
your eyes next up is widget so with the
Android device its hold down grab a
widget put it wherever you want as
always and they really pioneered this on
phone so you know I still think Android
is ahead here whereas they kinda have a
widget tray here for the iPhone now this
is pretty clean though because it kind
of stays off your screen so I think from
a cleanliness perspective if you don't
customize your Android phone to be clean
looking we just can't get messy if
you're putting them all over the screen
but if you put them in the right spot
and you kind of set it up to be clean it
can be just as clean as this but it
already is clean on the iPhone so I
still think the customization factor of
the widgets is better on Android but you
still at least you have an option for
some type of widgets on the iPhone not
to speed and performance the 90 Hertz
has really made a difference for Android
devices as well as the 120 Hertz display
they have surpassed iPhone when it comes
to the hardware display being smoother
however the iPhone software without this
90 Hertz I still think the iPhone
software would feel a little bit
smoother so there's just a little bit
more polish going on for this device
over here in the iPhone so really I
think this is why we're looking to see
the you know 120 Hertz on iOS however
you know both of these either phone you
use you're not gonna feel a big
difference these these phones when I'm
switching between them they just feel so
similar in terms of smooth in terms of
you know just polished just very good
it's the best of the best of both
platforms here support is very strong on
both however they I think if you're
looking for more creative apps I do
think the iPhone still wins here they
have things like iMovie double-take
filmic pro filmic Pro is available on
Android but it's not quite as good for
me actually I did crash a few times and
actually to get a refund on the filmic
pro app here so it's really gonna be
niche like certain apps are gonna be
available for the Android certain apps
are gonna be available for the iPhone
you know your apps best you know
what you want to play you know what you
want to use if it has it then if it
hasn't on one platform that's probably
the platform you want to go to if it
doesn't you probably don't want to go to
that platform when it comes to their
level of security again we talked about
the you know face ID and the V and the
face on lock here for the pixel both
being very secure they both have
passcode unlock at the same time you're
probably wondering which is the more
secure device well they're both
extremely secure because these are both
Titans in the tech industry right here
however it really depends because
Android is a really open source
operating system so it kind of depends
on the hardware like a samsung phone is
probably more secure than some cheap
phone you find on eBay with a no-name
brand for example so be careful with
Android and getting someone who doesn't
really update their phones or you know
what manufacturer doesn't really care
too much about you know the phone past
the sale of that device like after comes
out they're already forgetting about
updating and stuff like that but if you
stay on the latest security patches the
pixels very secure the iOS device has
always been very secure again it really
comes down to the hardware you're using
I would say as long as you're not doing
anything fishy on your phones you should
be pretty secure on both of them in
terms of privacy though the pixel does
seem to get in your business a little
bit more everything you're searching and
kind of thrown ads at you it's throwing
things that you've been looking at in
the Google app but you can kind of set
that up to not do that if you want but I
don't know if most people will do that
it does take some time to set it up
where it's not really doing that whereas
the iPhone seems a little bit more
button-down when it comes to privacy not
really getting a new business too much
again there are some tracking features
you got to turn off in the iPhone as
well it doesn't seem to kind of seem
like it's following everything you're
doing as much as the pixel does where
you'll do a Google search and they'll be
like telling you exactly what you were
just searching it's a little bit weird
sometimes on the Android device whereas
with the iPhone you don't see that too
often you'll just see your past history
of Safari results for example now when
it comes to typing and messaging on both
phones well we have iMessage over here
versus just the Google messages
application this is still more like SMS
on the Google platform whereas with the
iPhone this is iMessage now while they
might look similar you can actually read
when people are actually typing to you
there's those little dots that come up
let you know
someone's typing with you also the
emojis here which one does better here
well I think Google has come a long way
from before they got a lot of emojis on
here however it's pretty hard to beat
apples emoji system as they keep
updating it over and over again every
software that comes out every year seems
to be giving more emoji so I think Apple
does adapt a little bit better to what
people are craving in the emoji scene
but at the same time both of them do
have plenty to do some communication
you're kind of have any problems there
I'm the Google side you do have gift
search you do have you know different
ways to communicate you can find things
and search again very Google based over
here whereas with the iPhone and I a
message you have all these applications
you can use stuff within the app itself
so I feel like the iPhone is much more
like an online messenger whereas the
Google phone is more like a text
messaging system with just a few good
features in there so really I message
probably better here for that it comes
to the keyboards hey this actually is
nice they finally brought swipe to the
iPhone this has always been here on
Android so definitely copied Android on
that one but that was a good copy
because I've been wanting that in terms
of typing experience both of them are
very good the Google keyboard seems
about on par with the iOS keyboard in my
experience but some other skins and
manufacturers don't quite seem on par
there so at the end of the day I would
just pick the Google phone if you want
to use all the G suite of services any
Android device if you want to use a GC
suite of services if you also it's not
really about you know cheap anymore
because they do have cheaper iPhones now
so you know you could say that the
iPhone was the more premium device not
these days you can buy a premium Android
or a cheap Android of course you could
still get a cheaper Android with more
features than an iPhone but there's
still ways to get a really good I phone
experience for cheap if you want to if
you want to customize you probably don't
want the iPhone if you want nice
application smooth performance and good
updates support you're gonna want the
iPhone in mid 2020 but one thing about
the iPhone is that it can even though
they're a little bit slower it can run
the whole Google suite of applications
now what the Samsung phone usually get
the Samsung Apps and you get the Google
Apps but you can also download
a lot of the samsung apps right here on
any Android phone so let's just put
Samsung for example and you'll see a lot
of Samsung applications like their
browser their health their members app
you'll get a lot of Samsung Apps right
here on any Android which one would I
pick 2020 if you're wondering well I
don't like to be limited or restricted
by either so I use both of them but
which one do you find to be the better
operating system in 2020 or do you find
them totally equal it's just down to
preference let me know your thought and
if you stick with one of them what are
the reasons why you stuck with Android
this long or iOS that's long I really
want to know because I think at this
point they're so similar they're pretty
much so equal that at this point you
can't go wrong
either way so thumbs up if you enjoyed
the video stay safe stay well Nick here
and peace
