I personally like Apple OS.

I was an Android guy until I start working on MacOS for work. Then I decided to switch my phone to iPhone. Best decision ever. I know iPhone is simpler and has less features, but it works, it really works; the performance is incredible because of hardware-software integration.

Everyone knows Android is the only way to go.

I use Samsung Note8 with my X6 and no problem at all.

As both, latest Android and iOS phones user, I will tell you this:

Apple is super well integrated in all things BMW. BMW has apps for Spotify, Pandora, Audible, can read your messages and calendar for your iPhone even if you don't have Apple CarPlay.

On the contrary, Android (Galaxy S10 is what I use) doesn't even show album art covers when I play sound through bluetooth. It works, but other than that, pretty basic integration.

For Android users. Is "screen mirroring" working?

wireless carplay is the bestest

100% Apple
