Pixel 5 vs iPhone 12 - Which One is Better? By AltDadTech

Real, quick before we get into the video which is going to be based upon the title, the pixel 5 and a lot of the things that iOS needs to work on because, let's be honest guys fundamentally, there are some things that Iowa should address and here's the thing before I get into the video I know that I do get some commentary about iOS and like to do some pros, and I'm going to do videos on the pros of iOS because there are. There are several that I think are worth pointing out. However, comparing OS to OS- and you know I wanted to do stock android compared to iOS, because some people- you know like well galaxy's a galaxy- you know, lg rip is lg, so there's all these flavors. So let's get down to vanilla as they say, which is the pixel 5 here and see where apple and google kind of had to have a different sub opinions on how things should be done, and I'm genuinely curious as to your thoughts below. Let me know in the comments below what you prefer. I don't hate iOS, but I think, as an apple fan, not a fanboy, because I can actually call apple out and say: hey.

We need to work on this at any company. We should be able to have the intellectual integrity or mental wear with all to say: hey, you know what you should do better, especially listen for the price of this stuff. Furthermore, we should be roasting them ad nauseam, but anyway, let's get into the video and if you can, if you make to the end like share subscribe, if I didn't earn it you, let me know in the comments what I can do. If you want me to shut up well, I can't promise that I will, but I can um. Well, I don't know what I can do, honestly.

I didn't think this far ahead. Let's get to the video! Well, lets uh, let's get into this right. I wasted enough time in that intro and uh. Let's just get rid of the video, so number one is going well. Let me back up a little if you haven't watched my video about this.

I've done an unboxing and a look season. Impressions and all that fun stuff about this um. I don't really have one about this, because I mean everyone. Does it and there's really nothing unique that I can bring to the table there? Uh plus it's already unboxed before I started the channel, but anyway, let's get into this. So number one is going to be camera settings now.

I know it's talked about a little, but I don't think it's covered enough, so in iOS, when you get into the camera regardless of the phone, this is a low power mode. Look at me misfiring here: where is the camera there? It is. I moved it um when you get into the camera setting. You obviously have this wheel of a fortunes kind of thing going on down here, and you can select different modes and that's cool right and in video. They did enable this, and I don't remember when you can select HD 4k, all that stuff right.

That's all well and good. However, any other settings you want to access. Unfortunately, you can't do it in this. You have to go home, so you got to leave what you're doing go over to settings wherever that is, and again it might be. It might sound like I'm being somewhat hyperbolic.

You know laying all this out um, but it adds up over time right and so uh. Oh, did I pass it already? That's the one thing I don't like about it: the list right uh. Where is the camera setting? I feel like such a new here. It is right here all the way down there, and then you get all of these options here, right, um now granted. Are you gonna change this all the time? Maybe not, but again why? Why not have all of this in the camera settings like you do here? So again, you can change record slo-mo.

All that stuff. You get it right. You can. Furthermore, you can change all these things there right when you get into the pixel here uh, you can open the camera app, they give you settings, and you pull down here, and you get further settings, and you can get into almost every. Not almost every setting you need to uh.

You can get into video settings here if you tap that, I think oh wait. No, oh you have to scroll down, say that was a noob, a new move. It looked like you could tap that, but you guys get what I'm saying right. Save location camera sounds Google Lens. You get all of these options, you don't have to leave the app, and they even have a help section here, and you can send feedback and say whatever you want to say and uh.

I like that and so to me, it makes a lot of sense that whatever app you're in that all the settings for that app, you know live. I don't know within the app uh. So I'm a big fan of that and let you guys know in the comments below if something you care about um, let's get into the next thing. The next thing this is going to sound insane going back, and so the one thing I hate about, I shouldn't say hate right. I should say the one thing I dislike is: these phones are bigger, right, they're, getting bigger and to be fair.

This is much larger than this phone here, so ergonomics or ergonomics might depend upon your use case and your hand size. I don't have small hands, and so this back gesture that's been around for a while was great when we had like 5.5 inch- phones, maybe even smaller, but you know it's annoying right, and it's its compensating for the back button being all the way up here, and I understand that again people point out: well, you can just swipe back, and I'm like yeah you can, but after a while that does get annoying, especially on larger devices like this, like I don't have small hands, and it's still a bit of a stretch now again that might not matter to you. But when you look at how google has implemented it, it's hard to say that this isn't great right. You can navigate the entire phone almost within this vicinity right here. This lower quarter of the phone so open play, so I want to go back bam, and I like how it takes you step by step back now.

Io's. Does that too, but again, looking at how this works versus something like this, you know. I would argue that this is a lot more, and it's anywhere right. So I can go up here if your hands up here, you want to go back if your hands back, you can go back that way. You can go back that way.

You guys get the idea right to me. That is much more better. I know that's not the grammatical way to put it correctly at all, but that makes more sense to me again because of the screen size, and I talk about this in my one UI kind of cookies uh when I have the s21 ultra, I'm like yeah. That's really nice going back like that, and you can change this too. If you want to go back to the gesture or the buttons, I'm sorry, you can do that.

So I'm a bit, I'm a fan of how the gestures work and how you go back, and it's similar right like this aspect of it similar to iOS. But I don't know I like the little flick anywhere on the edges to go back. I'm a fan of that uh. The next thing is going to be again shocker volume control. The one thing I disdain about iOS is that it's perfect at control and again setting sign home kit and airplane all those devices, because you have to buy them separately, controlling multiple sources of audio um, combined with just controlling one source of audio like right here, right volume down I mean this is just system volume right, and this is probably audio.

If I had music playing, it would go up and down nothing wrong with that, and you can do one of these deals not bad better than having the indicator in the middle. But when you look at on the android phone here, when you hit volume up, you tap this little uh, whatever hamburger. Now you have all these options right. Do you want the media volume control you want? Do you want to manage call volume? Do you want to manage ringtone volume or alarm volume or see more and get right into it quicker more efficient? Here? If you want to change one of those things settings, and then you got to go down into sounds and sound and haptics, and then you can kind of configure some things there again, it's not the end of the world, but you know going back to my intro. You hear a lot of times that iOS is more efficient.

It's its! It's seamless! Furthermore, it gets out of its own way, um, but there are certain instances where I'm like. Okay. This is kind of odd and that's after using this. So I do implore. You know a lot of you guys that maybe have been uh, not android fans or maybe you have kind of just been blinded by apple's marketing or whatever and again, I'm not one of those people.

That's going to be like apple sucks, all the time I hate them. You know that's not who I'm going to be, but I am going to call them out on certain elements. So I think we can agree that having control of all of these volume settings again, this is it on iOS, nothing wrong with that inherently. But this would, I would say this is better again. You hit this little button.

What do you want to manage? Which volume? Because some people listen it's different for everyone? You may want your media volume high, but you may want everything else low, all that stuff right and on a side note someone mentioned haptics. I am very impressed where the where, with the haptics on this phone, it's definitely like almost, I would say it's right there with the uh, the iPhones here, it's its kind of scary, how good they are at that um. But anyway, let's move on to the next thing here which is going to be stock, app updates. So I've gone over this admiral's name as well. The one thing about iOS that I don't like is that, let's say there's a bug right in Gmail or not Gmail, I'm sorry their mail app.

I use Gmail, mostly, but let's say, there's a bug in their mail app or their messaging app or their or whatever right any stock. Apps um you, you, don't really get it. You don't get it addressed until they release either a one update. Uh or really just an overall update like 1415, all that stuff right and so even and their apps are in the stock uh or in the app store right. So if you look up apple, you get all that you get all their apps here right, and I guess that makes sense right, because just in case you delete it or whatever, like you, have TV, iTunes, Apple support or Apple Music, home right, but these aren't updated this way, they're just there as a backup for you to re-download them.

If you delete them, not that's a that's a good improvement. But- and again I talked about this. My Samsung video, which is this, is more of an android thing. If there's a Gmail bug you just okay, when's the last time, Gmail was updated. I think it's April 1st um yeah April 1st, but again they update these apps regularly.

So you know I'm not talking about third party apps. We all know that both are similar, it's stock apps, and I don't like the fact that if there's a bug in an iOS app, you typically have to wait until it's gone through a beta process. I mean I'm excluding like emergency updates, but if they break something or some background, syncing isn't working. You have to wait until that beta is ready, and then you can get a fix. I don't like that here.

You know: Google Maps, you know it's updated uh, let's see similar app available. I don't know what that means, but whatever you get the point, what I'm saying right you can update your apps the stock apps here you have to wait for a full OS update, seems kind of weird to me. I don't understand that. That's nice, the next thing widgets so apple- did introduce widgets, and I'm not a widget like fiend in the office um. But what's what's interesting to me is that look.

We have two Spotify widgets here. I don't like apple's implementation because to me, they're just shortcuts right I can get into here, but I mean that's no different from launching the app. I mean it goes to the playlist, but I can also go here and just hit play. So that's the difference to me is the interactive. You know aspect of it.

This is great aesthetically, and I think they have done a good job of I guess, making a consistent kind of design. I think they've done a good job. Smart stack is really cool, and it's like this is really nice, and it's laid out really well that's unique to apple, however, that to me is useless when all like, let's do uh, let's, let's pick one, I wasn't going to go this far in depth, but I know someone might bring it up. Oh, man trying to do this left-handed it's its clearly doing as well as you can't tell um. What do you guys think? What are you thinking? Let's do files right, let's do uh.

Let's add this widget sure it's nice that I can see all this. I guess, but it just I mean it just opens up the app yeah and I get that opens up that. But to me- and you guys know in the comments below its just. It seems like a lot of the widgets here and this one don't have many are more or less just shortcuts to the app and so for me, I'm like okay, uh I'll, just open the app now they're a little functional right like Gmail here. If you hit search with this widget uh, let's add the widget like it'll it'll, prompt search, right um, but I just feel like on android they've implemented it better and furthermore, you're stuck with this kind of pillow designs, and they're all consistent.

But I like one here on android that I can reconfigure this way. I want and that's most of the apps right uh. Let's do widgets. Let's do what do you guys think in here? Let's do uh. Let's do calendar, you know I'm I'm I'm feeling counter right now.

Oh, I have to press and hold there. We go uh. You can resize this right and I actually prefer this kind of size uh right here. I like that. I like that I can control the size and kind of lay these out where I want.

Furthermore, I'm not a fan of you get like three different sizes here. Let's get rid of this one remove widget again, I'm not hating on iOS widgets. I think for a first shot at it. They definitely did some things unique um, but you really get this kind of long bar here either. Something like this, which again music of all the apps.

I mean. Let's add this here like all of these- are really just ways to get into like we could have this massive widget right and at the end of the day, you can tap on this, and it'll. Take you to the playlist. Hopefully I guess we'll find out in a second, but you guys get what I'm saying like to me. It's a little quicker than like opening up and searching, but to me like, I want to control certain things.

So, if I'm playing a movie, if I'm playing music, any type of audio, I don't want to have to get into the app to me. That's always been the point of a widget is rather than me having to go into Spotify right now I could say: oh I want to play it, or I want to pause it to me. That makes sense- I just I guess I just prefer the way android has laid it out and then the last thing is going to be the now playing screen. Now, let's, let's see if I can uh, let's see if I can do this so as you can see here, it picks up audio, and it doesn't have to be that like it doesn't have to be that loud. It's incredible how easy it is then, and it picks up audio uh, and it tells you the song rather quickly, and so I'm a big fan of that and so like.

I know that apple has, I think they call it like Shazam mode or whatever, and that you can put it into the control center, and you know it's kind of a quick setting there, but you can ask Siri what song is playing but to me the idea that this kind of just works in the background. I really like that, and it saves up this library, and you can go home and go oh man. What was that song tonight I heard or where? What did we listen to that one album whatever it might be, it's all saved there and if you have you know, Spotify or google play music, or maybe I think they changed it? It's not. Google play music, but whatever are you can go? You know find all of that there you don't have to like you, know, guess or try to figure out one at a time. So I'm a fan of that so uh.

I was trying to keep this video under 10 minutes and a little over 10 minutes, but again, six things that I think iOS really needs to re-rework and uh I'll see you guys in the next video peace.
