    • Even the United States military agrees!! The U.S. Army Special Operations
      Command is looking to switch from Android smartphones for its Tactical
      Assault Kits to iPhones, according to Military.com’s DoDBuzz. The switch
      away from Android, and specifically Samsung devices, is largely because the
      devices aren’t reliable enough.

      iphone-6s-colors
      The iPhone is “faster; smoother. Android freezes up” and has to be
      restarted too often, the source said. The problem with the Android is
      particularly noticeable when viewing live feed from an unmanned aerial
      system such as Instant Eye, the source said.

    • So the Galaxy Note 2 from 2012 is not as smooth, fast and reliable as the
      iphone 6s? Really? I’m shocked.

    • There is a video which shows a Galaxy Note 2 used by Military, where is
      your proof about a Galaxy Note 5 being replaced?
      Besides keep cool man, you seem to take this quite a bit seriously, dont
      you?

    • +Slash310579 dude read the New York Times article you brain dead adrioid
      fanboy! Get it through your puny little head the iPhone is far superior to
      android phone

  2. I’d like to toggle my 3G/4G like I do with wifi for example, I’m switching
    to iPhone soon and this small thing is quite annoying tbh coming from
    android.

  4. You are apparently not aware of some stuff. Since iOS 9.3 you can 3D touch
    on settings icon and teleport URself into Wifi or Bluetooth submenu in
    order to connect to some stuff…

  6. My biggest gripe is how hard it is to get control center to pop up
    sometimes. Seems like I constantly have to swipe multiple times. Any
    advice?

  9. iOS is for current or ex prisoners. Free ppl don’t use anything as
    restricted as iPhone.

    • Boy you are dump… People have something its called choice if people like
      iOS its fine if people like Android its fine too… People like you give
      Android community a bad name…

    • +Gaming Centre LOL Are you mentally challenged? That’s what I’m talking
      about. There is NO CHOICE in iOS world. It’s either Apple way or gfys way.
      Go jailbrake your brain, boy.

    • +The Black Pearl What you mean no choice? If you talking about changing the
      icons you can do it on stock iOS too. There are apps that add a custom icon
      with the apps URL so it opens the default app. You can download stuff with
      a third party app, you can set custom actions with apps like Workflow. You
      can do many stuff and customise the OS if you really want to, but it will
      be hard. If you want you can jailbreak to make it into a mini computer.
      Thats choice, you can choose if you want to have it stock or jailbroken,
      you can choose what apps you use what things you do, how you use your
      device. Sure on Android its way easier, but beyond customisation android
      doesn’t do much. I have a Huawei P8 lite, and its ROM is an iOS Clone, half
      the apps are free with in-app purchases, and the apps that aren’t are
      watered down versions of their iOS counterpart…

    • +Gaming Centre Apple doesn’t care about users’ opinions. They create and
      improve their products based on their own agenda and force everybody to
      swallow it. Of course, you can always give up and not buy their products.
      That’s the only ‘choice’ they offer. The latest no-minijack ‘experience’
      announced to be introduced with iPhone 7 is a great example of that “pro
      choice” approach.

    • +The Black Pearl There is no such thing “as no care”. Every company “cares”
      because if they don’t do what their customers want they lose them and they
      lose their money. And frankly how long did you expect the 3.5 mm jack was
      gonna last? Android manufacturers already remove it. Apple in comparison to
      other companies (Huawei, Samsung etc) is much more user friendly. Apple
      doesn’t force you to use its apps (Not with iOS 10) or installs
      uninstalable bloatware. Sure those phones come with Android but to remove
      all the crap you need to root..

  11. I totally agree. I was a Android guy until Note 4 when I switched to iPhone
    6 Plus and now 6S Plus.
    iOS is so better than Android, but Google mobile OS has more personality
    options and all these in this video I think Apple could bring to iOS a long
    time ago.

    • +thebayareapimp before jump to 6S Plus, I tried S7 edge, but with a couple
      days it freezes sometimes and died about 1h. Android fragmentation is not
      good. Updates takes so long time and sometimes never comes.

    • +Rodrigo Freijanes hahahah. I had a Samsung galaxy and it was the biggest
      mistake of my life! Buggy laggy fragmented pile of junk

  13. So long as Apple insists on the iPhone being grandma’s smartphone, meaning
    keeping it super simple so the most unsophisticated tech users can use it,
    you’ll never get the most basic customizability options on iPhone. The
    platform will always be dumbed down to make it “simple”.

  14. They should incorporate Peek & Pop from 3D Touch into the Wifi and
    Bluetooth settings. Peek for quickly selecting a different connection and
    Pop for going to that respective page in Settings.

  16. So much pain in the arse for apple fanboys, as someone said: – you get what
    you paid for
    have a nice day =)

  17. I definitely agree with the first three features in this video. Most
    importantly, in my opinion, is the first point. This was something I used
    constantly with my Android phone.
    I feel that there are way to many steps to accomplish something that was so
    simple on Android. I am just worried that we are limited due to copyright
    infringements :(.

    Maybe some sort of micro (peek and pop) menu via 3D touch could be
    implemented in the Control Center without infringing :o.

    Also,
    As a temporary solution, I use Launcher (
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/launcher-notification-center/id905099592?mt=8
    ) and this gives me similar functionality with a lot of customization.

  18. TOTALLY agree! It is such a hassle to select a Bluetooth source on iOS. No
    reason whatsoever Apple should not have already made these improvements. Do
    they just not listen???

  19. AND IF IT HAPPENED SAMSUNG AND ANDROID fans WILL TAKE OVER APPLE VIDEOS ON
    YOUTUBE AND THEY WILL SAY APPLE IS COPYCAT, ISHEEP! sort of like that

  20. iOS update is more useful than android
    (U buy android phone sometimes u can only use that software but in iPhone u
    could keep update)OFC U CAN ROOT UR ANDROID PHONE BUT TOO MUCH STEP,iPhone
    just click on settings general-software update and done wtf is this steps
