Nick here helping you to master your technology iOS vs. Android mid 2020 that
inspired this video is that yesterday it was a big day for updates I mean we got iOS thirteen point five point one over here for the iPhone and we also got the June security patch for Android and I just thought about how similar are these software's here which one is the better pic here middle of 2020 where software is really very important to our lives a lot of us need our phones these days.

 so let's discuss the various elements of them and so for this comparison I'm using the pixel for Excel which is most representative I think of the clean version of Android the way it was intended here now the first thing I want to talk about is just kind of navigating the OS so essentially they are the same when it comes to the home screen just swiping left and right but what's very different is that you still have the ability to place icons wherever you want of course on the Android side whereas with Apple and of just flies up to the nearest.

 you know application you could see like that and I really hope that someday we can just bring it down not don't come at me with that oh you could just jailbreak it Nick I don't want a jailbreak it I want this stock I want it the way it comes right out of the iPhone box I want to be able to just kind of be able to at least bring apps down if I want so they don't have to sit up here if I don't have as many apps that will
take up the whole second page for example so I do think Android still is quite nice there now the Android OS navigating around still has the app drawer which once you get used to it you might actually like this a lot because


 everything is in alphabetical order so it's pretty easy to kind of just think about okay if I want to go to YouTube I'm gonna go all the way to the bottom because that starts with the letter Y whereas with the iPhone you're just gonna type it up here in the universal search but the Google phone also does have the universal search which you could type right there or if you bring it back home you could just do it right here from the bottom of the home screen so that's pretty nice now navigating the gesture system is also quite similar on both of these with Android 10 the Google pixel now has gestures and they're very smooth as well and I think the main reason why it's just as smooth on the pixel as the iPhone here is that the pixel brought the 90 Hertz hardware to this phone also if you look across other phones like the Samsung Galaxy series or even the oneplus series because those phones have 120 Hertz displays even bigger than this refresh rate the gestures on those phones are also quite smooth now when it comes to getting to your recent apps you do just hold up there on the Google you hold up like that for the iPhone and one thing that is very similar on both of these is kind of like the way you go through the application so you'll swipe through to get to your second page and like that yeah it's a little bit different looking but it's pretty similar the Google pixel does have a clear all button so if we go right there 

we can just clear all the applications whereas with the iPhone you could swipe two or three at a time when it comes to the recent applications trade think it's a little bit easier to clear them on the pixel if you'd like to clear your apps a lot but when it comes to just our overall you know performance when it comes to you the gestures I gotta say that the iPhone still feels a little bit smoother sometimes but that 90 Hertz just made the pixel very good as well so they're pretty even when it comes to the gestures also in the pixel when we go to navigation you can actually change it to you know three button navigation if you liked it how it used to be on Android also on samsung devices you also have different ways to navigate like this as well you can even hide the gesture bar if you would like and if we go into settings here you can change this back sensitivity and one thing I do like about the pixel is that you can go back like this on either side of the screen and basically system-wide let me go over here you see how

 I went back right there so I leave it on here I'm the right side I can go back as well now with the iPhone you actually have to perform a task before you're gonna go ahead and be able to go back for example if I'm on the webpages I can swipe back like that on iOS I can also go forward like this in the web pages but the Android device kind of does it on eitherside no matter what you're doing you just got to swipe from those edges so that's a really nice Android 10 feature some could say well they copied it fromiOS because they already we're doing that kind of from the left and you could say that's true but at the same time both of these systems operate so similar in 2020 next up is of course the customization is pretty much endless on the pixel you can change different launchers so if we go to Play Store you
can download tons of different launchers and just really change up the entire experience of your pixel device you can make it a Microsoft launch around here and just run it with the Microsoft launcher so you can really just change it to your own liking that's still a very strong case to use an Android phone whereas with iOS it still looks pretty similar that it looked ten years ago with this software over here yeah there's a lot of new features for 2020 and of course with the notch and we have the gestures based system that's a little bit different than you know ten years ago but still the general overall iPhone experience hasn't changed whereas you can really just switch it up 

I do think that Android software has evolved a little bit faster than the iOS software which is just kind of been refining over the years so we do have Siri and Google assistant or you could say hey Siri to this phone or you could say okay Google to the Google pixel over here they're not gonna activate right now I turn them off for this video but if you go ahead and hold down the home button or tap the Google assistant here you can talk to these assistants on the phone so there's quite a bit they can do now assistant can do things like calculations weather you know setting alarm setting calendars Siri can do the same thing what's 25 times 2 what's 25 times 2 what is the capital of New York City what is the capital of New York City and so you can see they both will bring up web results and stuff like that so both of
