Transcript
- 0:00Oh boy. We have an Android fanboy turning to
- 0:06the dark side. So what am I talking about? Well,
- 0:10I came across this video yesterday. Wait until
- 0:12you see this. This is the Pixel 11 Pro XL, and
- 0:16after 30 days, I am seriously thinking about
- 0:19switching to the iPhone 18 Pro Max. I've been
- 0:21a Pixel guy for a very long time. the pure pixel
- 0:24android experience the camera this phone makes
- 0:28my life a little easier and that's what a good
- 0:30phone does it just works without any issues i
- 0:33know that i haven't posted in the last three
- 0:36weeks i have been very busy on the android authority
- 0:38channel and i have been very busy on the android
- 0:41authority channel and i have been very busy on
- 0:44the android authority channel and so he's a pixel
- 0:46user like me like some of you love pixel always
- 0:50use them always turn to them when it comes to
- 0:52photography and i can always depend on it when
- 0:56needing essentially to do anything one key phrase
- 1:01there i had it on auto repeat works for android
- 1:04authority works for android authority works for
- 1:08android authority i have been very busy on the
- 1:12android authority channel and i have been very
- 1:14busy on the android authority channel and i have
- 1:17been very busy on the android authority channel
- 1:19and i make videos for a living so the camera
- 1:22is what i care about the most in a phone your
- 1:24points you tap and the picture just looks good
- 1:27you do not need to edit anything before posting
- 1:30online then there's video and the video on this
- 1:33phone is dreadful next to the iphone which has
- 1:36been the benchmark for a lot of smartphones in
- 1:38the last couple of years the pixel footage doesn't
- 1:40exactly hold up and i wouldn't want it in a video
- 1:43i'd put my name on and google's answer to this
- 1:46bs is video boost and video boost is absolutely
- 1:50useless i couldn't build a workflow around it
- 1:52and i wouldn't use it in any of my results so
- 1:55if you shoot anything that moves this is not
- 1:57the phone for you and the pixel just doesn't
- 2:00do it I don't think the video is that bad. In
- 2:03fact, when I went back to watch his video, I
- 2:06zoomed in on the comparison between the Pixel
- 2:0911 Pro XL and the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Video doesn't
- 2:14look all that different. Now, I do have an iPhone
- 2:17here for testing purposes. I hate the iPhone
- 2:21video. It makes everything look orange. And I
- 2:25think a lot of these Apple fanboys are brainwashed
- 2:29into thinking. that the iphone 18 series and
- 2:33or any iphone has the very best video quality
- 2:37picture colors contrast i don't know what the
- 2:41hell they're talking about great software can
- 2:43only cover so much software is really what made
- 2:46me stay hardware is why i'm leaving so yes i
- 2:50am most likely going to be switching to the iphone
- 2:5218 pro max full time as my main phone but until
- 2:56then this is the end switching to the iphone
- 3:0418 pro max as your daily driver this is going
- 3:09to the dark side what makes it worse is that
- 3:13he works with and or for android authority now
- 3:18look i get it you can use whatever phone you
- 3:22want right i'm actually okay with that right
- 3:25if somebody loves using an iphone then i honestly
- 3:29don't have anything against them But it's people
- 3:32like this that actually work with and in the
- 3:36Android ecosystem. He works for Android authority.
- 3:42And then you jump to the dark side and use the
- 3:46iPhone as your daily driver. Not to test. He
- 3:48didn't say test. He said switching to the iPhone
- 3:5318 Pro Max. Yet you work for Android authority.
- 3:56Don't you see a conflict of interest here? Like
- 3:59you couldn't. try the s26 ultra you couldn't
- 4:04try the oppo find x10 pro max that's coming out
- 4:07you couldn't possibly get the xiaomi 18 pro max
- 4:11that's coming out what about the motorola signature
- 4:14that's pixel like i just don't understand why
- 4:18somebody that works with android authority is
- 4:23using an iphone as a daily driver look the video
- 4:28is not all that bad i'm recording on a pixel
- 4:3211 pro xl right now 4k 30. seems fine to me this
- 4:39is the type of stuff that really gets under my
- 4:42skin is people like this you know what it looks
- 4:46like it looks like to me this dude is trying
- 4:50to get on the nutsack of apple try to get on
- 4:53the good side so he can get invited to all of
- 4:57these apple launches like all of these other
- 4:59fraud content creators not going to say anything
- 5:03bad about the iphone can't say anything bad about
- 5:05the iphone they won't invite me to their next
- 5:07launch event and screw that let's just say he
- 5:11is moving to the iphone as a daily driver because
- 5:15he honestly loves the ecosystem he loves the
- 5:19operating system it just suits him and or fits
- 5:22him better for his needs and or what he does
- 5:25on a daily basis maybe the rest of his family
- 5:28uses iphones so it kind of just fits in better
- 5:31if that's the case go to nine to five mac like
- 5:36go away from android authority we don't want
- 5:39you in this android world over here okay because
- 5:43i i honestly can't take his opinion serious now
- 5:48when it comes to android phones look i i know
- 5:50i only clipped out a minute and 30 seconds out
- 5:54of his eight minute video i essentially trimmed
- 5:56out all the fat and just gave you the main points
- 6:00in his video i forgot my point five minutes later
- 6:04oh yeah in the video he claims that google has
- 6:09essentially been lackluster in development and
- 6:13or design and style and just innovating things
- 6:16on a software and or hardware level yet you switch
- 6:21to iphone which has been lackluster when it comes
- 6:26to software and hardware they basically put out
- 6:30the same phone every single year for the last
- 6:33seven years what the freak are you talking about
- 6:38so everything he picks apart on the pixel you
- 6:42can pick apart with iphone as well and it's interesting
- 6:46because android authority also employs another
- 6:49youtuber that i actually subscribe to and really
- 6:52enjoy his content i'll put a link down below
- 6:54in my video description of his channel is c scott
- 6:58brown and ironically see scott brown just posted
- 7:03a youtube video just a few days ago right before
- 7:07this video that we're reviewing and he essentially
- 7:09makes the claim that apple makes the iphone for
- 7:13content creators while google makes the pixel
- 7:17for the user apple knows how the game works it
- 7:21knows that creators will be passionate about
- 7:24making content surrounding things that they actually
- 7:27like so Apple makes iPhones incredibly appealing
- 7:31to creators with things like ProRes quality,
- 7:33log recording, and the ability to seamlessly
- 7:36record video direct to SSD over USB -C. Apple
- 7:41knows regular people don't care about these things,
- 7:43but regular people will be watching the creators
- 7:46who do care about these things. But Google doesn't
- 7:49do this. Google's approach has always been to
- 7:52go directly to what the regular consumer wants.
- 7:55and how these content creators go google gaga
- 7:58over all of these stupid iphones and its features
- 8:02and they can't say anything bad about the iphone
- 8:06or iphone will not invite them to their next
- 8:09launch event that's why nobody says anything
- 8:11bad about iphone oh my god don't say anything
- 8:13negative about iphone they're not going to invite
- 8:16me to the launch next year while it's okay to
- 8:19bash pixel because they invite everybody regardless
- 8:22of the things they say about these devices And
- 8:25his coworker, this dude, is talking shit about
- 8:30the Pixel while praising the iPhone for its content
- 8:33creation features. Content creators make up a
- 8:37very, very, very small percentage of users. These
- 8:42are two very different types of strategies here.
- 8:44And you can see this dude falling right into
- 8:47the playbook. Praise the iPhone, bash the Pixel.
- 8:50And the ironic thing is at the beginning of this
- 8:53video. the first half he talks about how the
- 8:56pixel has made his life easier and how he depends
- 9:00on gemini so much for doing just daily activities
- 9:04and daily tasks yet when he switches to the iphone
- 9:07siri blows in good luck trying to get siri to
- 9:13assist you with your daily activities look i
- 9:16don't know what the point what the purpose of
- 9:18this dude's video was could it be he's trying
- 9:21to get invited to the next apple event Probably.
- 9:24Could it be he's trying to pull in more viewers
- 9:28by reviewing a different type of phone, a different
- 9:32operating system? Sure. But I think he's going
- 9:36about it the wrong way. Posting this video shows
- 9:40major, major lack of awareness, lack of self
- 9:44-awareness. Because you look like a fraud working
- 9:48with Android Authority and then daily driving
- 9:51an iPhone. Huh? Do yourself a favor. Do us all
- 9:56a favor. Either switch back to an Android and
- 9:58continue to work with Android Authority, or use
- 10:02the stupid iPhone and go work for 9to5Mac.
