I get a lot of questions again and again like can i buy you a phone no i am not going to buy your phone i dont know who you are. But also other questions which I always find weird whenever someone asks me because when you think about it what is actually being asked about it and I sometimes wonder if the person really I don't realize it or just looking for a simple answer to quite a complex question.

The question is whether they should buy an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy. Now I will just tell you that this is the wrong question. The correct question is similar but not identical. You didn't think you knew better than this for a while for some of you but now let's get down to it. I'll tell you all about it.
So, I mention the previous article which is the part of this part so, the question is should you buy an iPhone 12 for example or a Galaxy Note 20 or should you buy a S 22 or an iPhone 11 that's not the question. I think people want to know which phone is the best but there really isn't a good answer for that, it's what phone is the best for you. I think also when people try to think about this question they're actually wondering what the best hardware is but some of that is also irrelevant because the reality is the question you should be asking is should I get an android phone or should I get an iOS phone.

How long you kept your phone and how much you paid for your phone. The answer from not really kind of painted an interesting picture which helps kind of answer this question. One of the top answers for how much you would pay for your phone was between 100$ and 300$ and one of the top questions for how long you keep your phone is until it breaks. Now if you put those two people together, you got someone who buys like a $150 phone and holds on to it until it breaks.

Which pretty much disqualifies iPhones right out the gate especially talking about a new phone. There are tons of different options from android there are from between 100$ and 300$ with varying you know varying capabilities some good some not I've actually covered a couple here definitely check those out but I will tell you this there aren't any new iPhones in that price range. If Apple ever decided to go down that far, I don't think there will be a much different answer, so then the answer is Android is right, not so fast.

Why to choose an Android Phone?
Android phones across the world are definitely the number one selling phones if you collectively talk about the operating system. The iPhone 11 and the iPhone 10 are the best selling phones in the entire world. Largely because of how many phones they sell here in America they sell a tremendous amount of iPhones in America, so if you're an American the answer is iPhone right well again not really I mean it could be here's the thing if you're looking to hold onto a phone until it breaks an iPhone is actually your best bet.
Especially if your phone's gonna last 4 to 6 years mainly because of how well Apple keeps their phones updated. Updates on android our trash compared to apple big just don't matter what phone you own you have to admit they're getting two or three OS updates for a 1000$ phone is garbage. When you can buy a 400$ phone from Apple right now the iPhone SE and get upwards of 5 or 6 years of updates already happening the original iPhone SE is getting iOS 14.
There's nothing you can say if you're an android fan that makes worse things than for Android It just isn't, so I guess the answer is if you want long updates you should go with iOS that seems reasonable.
But what if you like some other type of phone it is not an iPhone how you use straight out of luck that's the problem with iOS is it's only on one type of phone and iPhone it's not on anything else, so it's not like you're going to get a Samsung iPhone you're not getting a folding phone until apple comes out with one you're not going to get a super inexpensive 200$ phone with great battery life in a decent processor for 200$ this brand new you're just not gonna do it not from apple.
Android on the other side opens that up to a lot of manufacturers and while other updates are not entirely awesome. The availability of different types of phones, whether it be a gaming phone or phone that has cameras at the forefront or whatever it is there is a phone for everyone on the android side of the fence. Absolutely positively an incredible amount of options and customization if you were totally in the customization you have to choose android.
Android have lots of features
There is no three ways about it you can customize the android phone every single day of the week with not just a different wallpaper which is darn near where it ends on an iPhone but like the like the icons the starting screen the launcher everything you can optimize and change everything on android phone and that's pretty darn cool and every single manufacturer on android visualizes their experience differently. In other words you might have something like OxygenOS which is incredibly smooth and clean or oneUI 2 from Samsung a really great addition above and beyond stock android.
Now if you're willing to buy into an ecosystem in other words having multiple devices under one manufacturer you can do it with Samsung or Apple even while away and a couple other companies but none of them work as well as Apple. Sure Samsung has tablets and laptops basically on windows and of course android which is definitely not even optimized for tablets anymore listen this is there's nothing to this.
If you're looking to get more than one device for more than one manufactured apple, end of story you're gonna pay to play though you're gonna pay you you'll pay and if you're someone who likes to trade or sell their phones later on iPhones tend to hold their value substantially longer and substantially higher rate, so that's another thing if you were someone who loves a trade in your stuff that's kind of an iPhone thing and when it comes to pictures and video I gotta be honest to both about the same there's really neither one is better than the other.
You can say that sometimes the night mode is better on iPhone sometimes better on android depending on the manufacturer and of course you can take the APK from the Pixel and put it on just about any android phone almost every single one, so that's kind of a toss up for me and of course android always have the cutting edge hardware first like 5G, so that's important to you that's pretty much a slam-dunk you definitely want to get android. The next time that 6G and everything else comes out you're definitely going to want to get an android.
Because Apple is never going to be the cutting edge bleeding edge only that technology they let it come out and then they come out the first time semi perfected and listen like I take my hat off to them for that it's pretty good, so what if you like a little bit of A in a little bit of B. You don't get to choose that I'm sorry like this is that you either get an android phone or an iPhone.
Let me help you actually make that final decision
1. If you hold your phone for 5 to 6 years it's an iPhone I really can't tell you otherwise they're easy to get repaired. If you need to, there's tons of Apple stores all around, especially where we live in America. They hold their value longer than an android phone. That is not to be argued even a little bit and of course the updates over time are absolutely excellent.
2. But if you're one of the many in the world including US who don't want to spend a lot of money on a phone enjoy this absolutely a plus you can customize and do all the things I mean Android pretty legit but if you have a lot of friends who also have iPhones we tell you right now there's nothing like being a part of an iMessage text group and all the different things you can do the emoji is and all the things you can do on iOS especially if you have friends that have iPhones that's I mean that kind of answers that question if you have a large group of friends and family have I phones you can afford it and I phones the way to go.
3. But if you're a loner you don't care and that's nothing that's important to you an emoji and all that crap doesn't mean anything to you but like customisation you like to be able to do whatever you want to with your phone and you like to have a different phone everyone else in the room android 100℅ percent as it. Plus the price ranges literally are from 100$ to like $2000 with the galaxy phone literally like $100 to $2000 and everything in between.
Apple you just get the same basic looking phone across multiple different price ranges is just not that interesting and if you have a lot of apple devices you're gonna love an iPhone I get it but android from dollar for dollar perspective is definitely the one most of you should get because here's the thing I think most people would be fine with an iPhone even if they don't like apple.
The phones have amazing battery life on the iPhone 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max and 10 are excellent, so that's not a concern. The cameras are excellent, the operating system is excellent, the updates are excellent. But the reality is you have to spend so much more to get into the apple ecosystem to really fully enjoy an apple iPhone that for lot of you especially the ones that have been telling me in my comment section that you're looking for a great budget you just want to know what phone to get it's probably going to be an android phone maybe.
Our Verdict
I mean you tell me in the comments below are you buying an android phone or an iPhone and it really doesn't matter what year it is we can talk about ours 14, 15, 16 it doesn't matter both operating systems Whether it be Android or iOS gonna continue to get better absolutely better every single year and they're going to take things from each other that's all aside it doesn't matter.
These are tools don't use them as weapons against each other please stop making things seem awkward between each other. just because you chose a different phone than they did that's a dumb. can we get away from that I just want to say that coming away from that can we please get away from that. by the way I just wanted to show you one thing this article is fire you need to read it.
