Samsung…iPhone? What to choose? I have the answer for you! My favorite phone out of the two is the Android. I think iPhones right now are a bit overrated and people praise them for things that Samsung has already accomplished and have done better. Samsung beats the iPhone in so many ways like customization, assistants, and different versions.

With Samsung, there are many different versions of a newly released phone. For example, Samsung’s very popular phone the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has 11 different variants that mainly focuses on size and software and it can fit your standards and needs of the phone. Now the iPhone 8 only has a few variants and most of them are just colors! No specific changes to the software at all. There is a size variant though but that’s really just it. 

Customization is clearly the main reason why Samsung tops iPhone in the smartphone department. You can add widgets, change your wallpaper so much easier, and add shortcuts to the home screen instead of going into the actual apps. You can even customize your keyboard layout. Now on iPhones, there’s not too much to do with an iPhone. If you get an iPhone, you get what you get. To even do the slightest tweaking on an iPhone you need to have an app called Jailbreak which their customization options aren’t even that great.

Siri (iPhone) vs Google Assistant (Samsung). The winner goes to Google Assistant by a landslide. First of all, the Google Assistant does a better job of getting instant and simple answers. With Siri, it does a decent job at getting answers too, but they are pretty complicated answers compared to the Google Assistant. Also Google Assistant acts more than an assistant if you know what I mean. You can tell Google Assistant to sing you a song, or read a poem, or play a game with you, or more! But with Siri, All she does is give you an excuse not to do any of those things (try it yourself if you don’t believe me). Overall, Google Assistant is better than Siri.

These are my reasons why Samsung phones are better than an iPhone. There are many other reasons but to keep this article short I only listed a few. However, I am not an Apple hater. I use Apple’s iPads and think their Macbooks are better than Android computers. Hopefully, you will make the switch to Samsung or stay with Samsung.
