Revisit: iPhones vs Androids

Revisit: iPhones vs Androids

Author: Lemonada Media and BBC January 30, 2025 Duration: 39:26
This week we're featuring one of our favorite debates. Which phone is superior: the iPhone or the Android? Taking the side of iPhones is actor and comedian Langston Kerman, while fellow actor and comedian Baron Vaughn is Team Android. And here to adjudicate is Ronald Young Jr. Langston says iPhones look better, are easier to use, and that the majority of Americans agree with him because iPhones are a majority of cell phones in the US. Baron says Androids offer customization that iPhones do not and don’t fall victim to “planned obsolescence” the way iPhones do. How will Ronald rule? And will his personal phone preference influence his choice?   Follow Langston @langstonkerman on Instagram and X and Baron @barvonblaq on Instagram.   Keep up with Ronald Young Jr. @OhitsBIGRON on X and Instagram.
