Vratislav Holub There is an age-old rivalry between iOS and Android phones. Both systems have a large base of fans who will not give up on their favorite and would prefer not to change. While Apple fans can't imagine a phone without its simplicity, agility, emphasis on privacy and overall performance, Android users welcome the openness and customization options. Fortunately, there are a number of great phones on the market today, from which everyone can choose - regardless of whether they prefer one system or another.

Adam Kos However, as we have already mentioned above, both camps have a number of loyal fans who do not let their devices go unnoticed. After all, this is also shown in various ways researches. That is exactly why we will now shed light on whether Android users would be willing to switch to the iPhone 13, or what they like most about Apple phones and what they can't stand.
Competition fans are not interested in iPhones
In general, we could say that there is not exactly twice as much interest in the competition for Apple iPhones. This was also shown in the latest survey by the American retailer SellCell, from which it was revealed that only 18,3% of respondents would be willing to switch from their Android to the then-new iPhone 13. The trend is downward in this direction. In the previous year, 33,1% of respondents expressed potential interest. But let's focus on something more interesting, or what specifically fans of competing brands actually like. For apple lovers, iPhones are the perfect phones that offer one benefit after another. In the eyes of others, however, it is no longer so.
iPhone 13 (Pro)
With a clean slate, however, Apple can boast of years of software support for its devices. This fact is considered a major benefit not only by Apple users, but also by users of Android phones. Specifically, 51,4% of respondents identified durability and support as the main reason for a possible switch to an Apple platform. The entire ecosystem and its integration were also praised, with 23,8% of respondents agreeing. However, the view on privacy is interesting. For many apple growers, the emphasis on privacy is absolutely essential, but on the other hand, only 11,4% of respondents take it as a main attribute.
Disadvantages of iPhones
The view from the other side is also interesting. Namely, what do Android users lack and why do they not want to switch to a competing platform. In this regard, the absence of a fingerprint reader was most often mentioned, which 31,9% of respondents consider to be the main shortcoming. This indicator can be quite surprising for ordinary apple growers. Although the fingerprint reader brings undeniable advantages, there is practically no reason why it should replace the popular and more secure Face ID. Even Face ID met with sharp criticism from the beginning, and it is therefore only possible that inexperienced users are only afraid of the newer technology, or they do not trust it enough. For long-term users of Apple products, in the vast majority of cases Face ID is an irreplaceable function.

As we mentioned above, the Android platform is characterized primarily by its openness and adaptability, which its fans greatly appreciate. On the contrary, the iOS system is quite closed in comparison and does not offer such options, or it is not even possible to install applications from unofficial sources (so-called sideloading) – the only way is the official App Store. The Androids refer to this as another indisputable disadvantage. Specifically, 16,7% agree on worse adaptability and 12,8% on the absence of sideloading.
However, what may surprise many people is another alleged disadvantage of iPhones. According to 12,1% of respondents, Apple phones have inferior hardware in terms of cameras, specifications and design. This point is quite controversial and it is necessary to look at it from several sides. While iPhones are actually significantly weaker on paper, in the real world (mostly) they provide much better results. This is thanks to the excellent optimization and interlinking between hardware and software. It is possible that since fans of competing brands do not have direct experience with this, they can only follow the technical specifications. And as we mentioned, they are really worse on paper.

What I can't stand are these pointless articles and measuring pints. Is it really not possible to simply use the device without various invectives and compare, for example, new flagships, but without emotions?
But when it comes to debugging, stability will always prevail over iOS :)
Once I was traveling on a train and someone in the compartment started playing porn on his Samsung by himself.. he must have had a bug because he couldn't turn it off and he was all red.. everyone laughed at him
Samsung is a scumbag, if someone wants a stable fast and reliable system they will go to iOS
I would not say. You can't look at A1x or A2x advice, they are weak. I switched from iP 8 to S A50 (bought about a month after the presentation) and the difference was significant. I just find iOS chaotic and at times I feel like the phone was setting me up, rather than me setting it up. That's why I left Apple after a while (I've always had an iP that didn't work for over a year). I have the A50 to this day (that is, 3 years) and it is unimaginable for an Apple user, but after three years of use it does not cut, nothing falls, just no problem, only the battery has dropped to 80% of the original capacity.
I myself was an android for 8 years and now I bought my first iPhone 13 basic and I can't praise it enough ;) I wouldn't go back
I have an iPhone 13 Pro in gold 👋🏼 I had the basic 13 for 14 days, then it went into the world.. you can tell by the motion display..
"pro motion"... Jojo, everything has to have a fancy name. Just a 120hz display :)
Jojo, but the support will be the same on the basic iPhone 13 as on the pro and pro Max, right?
..it will be clear
I've always had Samsung flagships, but the speaker started to bother me, so I took my official one to work and it was an IPhone. It was unimaginable for me to have an iPhone until then. In the beginning it was terrible for me, the fact that I can't play downloaded albums in any player was a shock for me. The fact that I can't put my downloaded music or sounds on my ringtone, notification and alarm clock also annoys me. Not to mention volume settings separately for ringtones, message notifications, system notifications, etc. I've only been using it for a while and it's possible that everything I list here as negatives for me (and more of them) can somehow be done and set up, if that's the case, it's just not as simple as on Android. Anyway, I have to admit, and I'm really surprised, that on paper it's a weakness, but apparently it has no competition in terms of speed and fluidity. I have never seen a system tuned like this, let alone the battery, after all, it has half the capacity of what I had with Android, but the endurance really surprised me. I jump between applications like a tightrope and I can always get to work right away. You just have to leave this to the iPhone, they know how to hack the phones and I understand his fans in their almost "fanaticism". Anyway, when I save up for a new mobile phone, I'll probably think about going back to Samsung or getting a newer "my" iPhone. That's my opinion.
😂 it's not possible.. like setting music as a ringtone.? even children in kindergarten don't do that anymore because they already have an iPhone 😂
So it doesn't work? I've had the same ringtone since the days of the Nokia 5110 (of course it was more "primitive" back then) and I'd like to have it on the iP as well.
Everyone except sheep like you do it. I always love how iPhone owners highlight the flaws as strengths. See for example dual sim. Why do you think it can't be done? Well, for the sheep to buy a second iPhone.
Apple has been able to do dual noise for about 4 years.
Apple has been able to do dual sim for about 4 years now.
So this year Nokia shuts its mouth with its new MAZE...
Since when is Face ID popular and more secure???
well... I'd also like to know what kind of crap this is 🤣
What bothers me about the iPhone is the "speed" with which they implement functions in iOS that the competition has had for years. The thing that impresses me a lot is the quality of the camera, aside from the Google Pixel. What bothers me about Android is the non-uniformity of the system, with the exception of Google and OnePlus, every manufacturer fills it with bloatware to make it work at all, so the very first thing that awaits me with a new phone is rooting and flashing a custom ROM of pure droid. In the end, it always boils down to iPhone vs Pixel, so Apple vs Google, things like Samsung, Xiaomi, or Motorola are useless... at most I'll bite the oneplus.
Hehe, maybe it's a total ass to just read it…. I use both worlds (Note 20 Ultra as primary, iPhone 8, Pixel 3, iPhone X). I'm standing at a crossroads, where to go. S22 Ultra or iPhone 13 pro? Or wait? I've been an Android supporter most of my life, I've only had Notes since the beginning of the Note line. From my point of view, I like the simplicity, speed and durability of the iPhone. Whether I want it or not, every function is fine-tuned, the speakers are loud, the signal is where it should be, the camera takes great pictures, the adaptability for peripherals is intuitive, and I connect what it has where it has it and how I want it. On the other hand, customizing anything is a struggle. Ringtone, alarm clock, install an external app, work with files, work with some peripherals... Android (Samsung Note). Everything on the contrary, perfection at work, s-pen perfection, working with peripherals and external applications is great, customization of almost everything is possible. On the other hand, the pixel takes a better photo the first time, the iPhone takes an amazing photo, the note makes me want to die before it looks like this and I don't care if it's post-processing, I want to have nice photos. Note's fingerprint reader, is there anything slower than this? And is it really the same in S22U? Am I really going to pay 35 for a phone that will screw me up on hold? I will be glad for your opinions on the above-mentioned adepts...
What most Android and iOS fans don't see is the absolutely impossible iPhone GUI. Most of them have no experience with the competition. Notification center in the most difficult to reach place. Inconsistent dropping of active objects from the desktop (norification banner up, open windows down and notifications with screenshots to the left..) Playing with widgets in the form of passive previews.. And then such strange nonsense as not allowing to set the SSID independently of the phone's name, or to use the phone as mass storage, or to charge other devices with a cable. Well, for a conservative long-term fan, it's fine - what he's learned is valid in the long term and he has to learn some minor news, but from the point of view of efficiency and ergonomics of use, it's a bit of a rage.
