**A Picky Tech Enthusiast's Take on iPhone and Android**

As someone who values a good user experience, I have to admit that I've always been drawn to Apple's iPhones. However, I also understand the appeal of Android devices, particularly when it comes to options like Samsung Galaxy series. But, as a penny-pincher, I've often found myself hesitant to spend extra money on an iPhone every year. The option of upgrading from one model to another once a year has become a common practice in the tech industry, but I'm not convinced that it's necessary.

In my opinion, having to upgrade my device every 12 months can be frustrating. With so many new Android devices being released every week, it's like trying to keep up with a never-ending game of catch-up. The fragmentation issue is a major problem in the tech world, and I'm not alone in my frustration with this issue. Fragmentation refers to the process of different device manufacturers creating their own versions of an operating system or software, which can lead to inconsistencies and compatibility issues.

For instance, Samsung's Galaxy series has become synonymous with Android devices, but let's be real – some of those features are just gimmicks. Who needs a phone that pauses playback when you look away from the screen? It's a feature that I've never thought twice about using, nor have many of my friends and family members. On the other hand, Apple has always been known for its focus on functionality and user experience. The iPhone may not offer all the flashy features that Samsung devices do, but it consistently delivers a seamless and intuitive experience.

Another aspect of Android devices that I find puzzling is the constant stream of new devices being released. It's like Samsung is trying to outdo Apple in terms of innovation, but sometimes I feel like they're just throwing too many options at us. The Galaxy Note series, for example, has become a staple in the world of Android devices, but with each new release comes the expectation of yet another groundbreaking feature that never quite lives up to the hype.

However, despite my reservations about Samsung's approach to innovation, I do appreciate their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. As someone who values a good display, I'm pleased to know that Samsung produces some of the best screens in the business. And let's not forget the TV and monitor industry – Samsung is certainly a force to be reckoned with when it comes to producing high-quality displays.

But back to my original point: as much as I appreciate Samsung's efforts, I still prefer Apple's approach to device design and user experience. The iPhone may not offer all the customization options that Android devices do, but it consistently delivers a polished and refined experience that leaves me feeling satisfied rather than frustrated. And with the option of upgrading every year, I can rest easy knowing that my device will always be up-to-date and secure.

Of course, this isn't to say that Samsung is without its strengths – they have certainly pushed the boundaries of innovation in recent years, and their devices are often more affordable than Apple's offerings. But for me, the trade-offs just aren't worth it. I'd rather pay a premium for an iPhone that delivers a seamless user experience, even if it means sacrificing some of the customization options that Android devices offer.

**Competition and Innovation**

As someone who values innovation and competition in the tech industry, I'm heartened to see Apple and Samsung constantly pushing each other to improve their offerings. While Samsung may be more prolific when it comes to releasing new devices, Apple's focus on user experience and design is something that they've consistently gotten right.

In my opinion, the real winners here are consumers like me who get to benefit from the competition between these two companies. When I look at the latest iPhone or Galaxy device, I'm excited to see what features and innovations each one has to offer – it's a reminder that there's still room for improvement in this industry, and that the best is yet to come.

But let's not forget – as much as I appreciate Samsung's efforts, they're also part of the problem when it comes to fragmentation and inconsistency. The lack of standardization across different Android devices can make it difficult for developers to create apps that work seamlessly across all platforms.

And so, while competition is undoubtedly a good thing, I do wish that some of these companies would focus more on consistency and standardization rather than constantly chasing after the latest trends and gimmicks. But hey – that's just my two cents!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyou hear that that was Thunder hey guys David def franker here from D frank.com askk boom yep there it is visual proof that is your open form for submitted questions for future videos such as this one don't point it's rude and today's question hold on first of all my face is being illuminated let me turn the brightness down there you go today's question from Michael petruci hopefully I'm saying your name right now Michael did not include any Social Links or website links or anything like that but Michael if you're watching this video and you want links included let me know and I'll put them right below all right so Michael says hey David I was talking with my brother and he was saying Samsung will run Apple out of work Samsung has been making more products and apple was thinking of cutting the iPhone 5S what and I don't believe him you shouldn't believe him just wanted to know if you could help us figure it out thanks a lot Michael all right Michael let me tackle this in Parts cuz you ask multiple things number one let me just say this real quick apple is not cutting the iPhone 5S why would they your brother is obviously lacking the knowledge required to even give Tech advice in the first place I'm sorry I'm not trying to sound like a jerk but it's the damn truth why the hell would Apple cancel an iPhone 5S especially at a time like this when we have competition left and right from Samsung I know you just happen to ask about Samsung but it's the truth Samsung is Apple's biggest competitor nowadays besides Google you know primarily in the OS obviously but I'm talking about manufacturers of phones and whatever it's just trust me the iPhone 5S will be out this fall I can bet my life on it as well as maybe the iPhone 5C which I got to say I like that name a lot it makes sense iPhone 5c meaning cheap no no I don't think Apple would use the name cheap I think the C comes from the C in plastic maybe we'll just have to wait and see so many C's but anyway getting back directly on topic now let me talk about the part where you say well your brother says Samsung will run Apple out of work no no and no and then Michael's brother goes on to say Samsung has been making more products all right guys let me make something very very clear here more is not always better for instance the saying how does it go quality over quantity and that's the truth especially in this case I'm always seeing people say why does an apple roll out an iPhone twice or three times a year there's a new Samsung Galaxy here and there there's a new phone from Moto you know the Moto X coming out soon which that's not out yet so that doesn't really apply but you get what I'm saying Samsung has so many freaking devices of different sizes and different configurations it's just ridiculous okay so I'm not saying that's a bad thing for everyone but for me personally I like knowing when I get my iPhone that is the newest phone I'll have for at least a year or next two years and I say next two years because you can upgrade early by you know paying the full amount or maybe an early upgrade fee depending on your contract but still I have an iPhone 4S and now am I dying for the iPhone 5s at this point yes now did I have the option of buying the iPhone 5 yes certainly but me being cheap at certain points in my life I simply didn't want to spend the extra money if I didn't have to so what am I getting at here well we do have the option of upgrading from iPhone to iPhone once every year and honestly in my opinion I think that's how it should be I don't want to have to worry about my Android phone being out of date literally next week yes next week I'm sure there's some kind of new Android device coming out and that's what bothers me so much about the comp competition from Google to Apple in terms of os you know Android versus iOS is there's so many devices out there which leads to so much freaking fragmentation I cannot stand fragmentation it annoys the hell out of me maybe it's just me I'm just very picky I like a good experience I like a good decent user experience I don't want have to worry about my device being out of date like I said next week now I know I'm going to get some hate for saying that but guys I don't make these devices it's not my fault there's a new Samsung device every week or two that there's a new Android device next week that there's so many freaking different sizes from Galaxy you know the Galaxy Notes and the Samsung Galaxy yes I realize the S3 and S4 pretty much standard nowadays that's the Samsung device people go to but still from what I've seen people aren't overly overall that happy with the Samsung Galaxy S4 at least coming from the S3 cuz honestly the S4 has a lot of gimmicky features who wants to look away from your phone while watching a YouTube video to have your phone paus and I know that's optional but that's the difference between Samsung and Apple Apple actually puts in features that people will use they will never ever ever think about implementing a feature where you're watching a YouTube video and you look away and the device pauses for you who the hell wants that I know I don't and then of course there's a whole hand gesture thing waving over your device to go through pictures who what just stop Samsung please stop at the gimmicky crap but you know what at the end of the day it all comes down to competition and Apple is very lucky that Samsung exists now I'm not passionate for Samsung I mean I do have a Samsung TV and I love Samsung monitor SL displays overall I think they're great and I'm sure one of my devices here has a Samsung display I think my Apple display has a Samsung panel I'm not totally sure but you get the point Samsung is not a bad company I don't completely agree with their tactic in their presentation style especially the Samsung Galaxy S4 and that cheesy as hell Broadway presentation that was just bad that was one of the worst presentations I've seen in my life I mean it was horrible but like I said competition is a very good thing love or hate Samsung we're lucky to have him around love or hate Apple we're also lucky to have him around as long as these two companies keep fighting each other as well as other companies then we'll continue to get good and hopefully Innovative products all right so just to set a disclaimer I don't want people running away from this video saying David hates Samsung David hates competition that could not be further from the truth because sometimes people twist my words so I just want to be very clear right now so thank you for the question Michael hopefully I answered it the best way possible and also let me just say this one more time don't trust your brother for Tech advice he obviously has no clue what he's talking about again I'm not trying to sound like a jerk I'm just saying how it is he obviously needs to educate him self and now
