Pop Culture Debate Club Android vs iPhone

January 23, 202538min 40sec

This week, we’re bringing you another show hosted by Ronald Young Jr. Pop Culture Debate Club from Lemonada media, and the BBC

Being a pop culture fan naturally comes with a lot of opinions. You’ve got your favorites and you’re ready to defend your picks at a moment’s notice. But who’s right, and who’s just plain wrong? That’s what Pop Culture Debate Club is here to decide. Each week, two notable mega-fans square off, ready to convince host Ronald Young Jr. that their opinion on TV, movies, music, and more is the only one that matters. And after carefully considering all the arguments, Ronald picks a winner.

In this episode we dive into 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. How will Ronald rule? And will his personal phone preference influence his choice?
