    I just got my first IPhone which is the 15 Pro Max and this video helped.. what really got me over the edge was the switch to USB-C.
  • @TheMahaMousa
    I really very appreciate that you are making your videos without background music 🫡🫡 The music is really annoying on others. Many thanks for the useful "real" videos you are making 🌹❤️

    I went from a iPhone 12 Mini to a 14 Pro and I was almost shocked by the increase in weight between the two devices. I didn’t care a lot about additional battery life because I’m almost always near a power source, I keep a MagSafe 10,000 battery pack in my carry bag. I do love having a 3X camera though, that has come in handy for me a few times and sometimes the weight comes in handy when you’re wearing heavy winter clothes. Sometimes it was hard to find my 12 Mini in my winter clothes

    As an android user, who has a MacBook, I want to get an iPhone to save time sending myself files. This video is amazing with the fact that you covered everything that I had been wanting answers for, so thank you. :)
  • @Jakeu1701
    I do think Apple design is better and with the restrictive hardware/software controls they have, they can make improvements that is not as easy on Android. The entire eco system is interesting, but two major drawbacks for me are 1) application limitations on laptops and desktops and 2) the cost of the devices are higher for equivalent specs with almost no upgradability. To each their own. What works for one may not work for another.
  • HI Gemine, thank you for the vĂ­deo. It's Just amazing! I've been searching about moving from Android tĂ´ Apple for about 3 months and your vĂ­deo is just what I needed!!!!
  • @chrisginoc
    Apple is going to support RCS by this fall... took them long enough. Now Android users will be able to see typing notifications, react to messages, video txt quality being good, etc. It makes the switch from Android to Apple less tempting for me now
  • I agree with the notification system. I was so used to just swiping down anywhere on android to see a list of notifications. I had to train my brain to recognize that notifications are an entirely different Notification Center on the phone.
  • @SofaKingA
    What do you think about how the notifications are presented? I feel like when I switched to iPhone the notifications were a jumbled mess compared to Android. When I switched back to Android it was like a breath of fresh air. 😂
  • @LordDef
    Glad you're happy aith your new phone! I feel this video is just a comparison of old android vsnew ios
  • @serenitybyafaq
    Hi Gemini, did you manage to transfer Whatsapp data to iPhone too with Move to IOS app?
  • I'm happy with my S10, but it doesn't work with my DJI Mic, so I'm thinking of upgrading. I prefer Android for specific apps, but I'm torn. Is the S23 worth it? I saw some camera comparisons and often liked the S10's photos better.
  • @joer8293
    Hello I have a question how to you erase objects on photos? My. Samsung S22+ have that option in the edit. I’m confused looks like I have to download apps to do this. Another down fall on this IPhone. Plus the albums are not in order they are all randomly put in.
  • How about a lightning to USBC adaptor which should be easier to carry around than a complete cable?
  • @GoldenK9Campers
    Me too.. Getting to notifications is such a pain. My "really old" iphone I never had this issue. I do love the camera.. It's my primary camera now for most of my videos.
  • @lolminer34
    I'm exactly the same! I have just switched from a Samsung S10 to an iPhone 15. I did go for the regular iPhone 15 though ... not the pro... so I really hope it doesn't disapoint me 🙈
  • @jasonedwards6562
    CarPlay does have split screen and if I am not mistaken had it before Android Auto. Matter of fact the latest Android Auto looks more like CarPlay than ever before. One feature I really love that is not available on Android Auto is the way my Garage Door opener automatically appears on the CarPlay screen when you get close to home so you do not have to search for an app like Android Auto.
  • @entrenedor
    Great video! I'm in the same boat as you. My whole family except my mom has an iPhone. I love my Samsung, but it's not as easy to communicate and do certain things. I also miss Apple wallet. It's much better than Google.
  • @LiamPhotoATL
    Actually CarPlay does have split screen, always had it.
