Innovation and tech. No one should keep there phone any longer than 2-3 years. And with 5G spread across most European cities. Who would want an iPhone in the first place? The rapid progress technologically with Android supercedes apple. For example. Under display cameras. And they are working on 6G networks already.
A-M, 21 Jan 2020I'm pretty sure that the average consumer WOULD notice 120 over 60 htz screen, 5000 over 3900... more" 5000 over 3900 mah battery,"
iPhone Pro Max already have best battery life in the market. Don't be brainwashed spec boy. Battery life comes from many things not just from the size of battery. How power efficient your screen is or the chip and other stuffs. That's why Apple surprised lot of people about battery life with their newest iPhones.
Kuba, 21 Jan 2020exactly my thoughts. never used apple before, but seriously considering buying. Android market... moreStep up your game and buy iPhone, you will be lot more happier about your choice. Don't hit your head to the wall buying another android crap. There's reason why by far most android sales are cheap low-end crap. People don't want to buy those expensive high-end android phones because the support is horrible and the value just isn't there.
If you are all complaining about the Android software update "problem", well...
- It doesn't really matter in the first place, the phone will still boot up, you can still call people, access the internet so why do you need Android 11, 12, 20, 200? Seriously man like no one cares, you are severely overblowing this non-issue, there is no wannacry for android and there will never be anything like that
- If you really want to update your 5 yo Nexus, ROOT THE PHONE!!!

Android market is too fragmented, and even major players like Samsung, LG, Huawei, all ABANDON their devices after ONE YEAR or so!!! Or you wait for upgrade infinitely. The only alternative is pixel, but this year hardware is a failure.
Who buys the iphone 11 with average specs from 2015 haha
Domestoboto, 21 Jan 2020Yeah, I wouldn't blame much of the US. Apps simply PERFORM BETTER on iOS than on Android. That... moreWho uses snapchat filters haha Android ia superior to restricted ios. Apples apps are not available on android. But android apps are. Open source rules
Domestoboto, 21 Jan 2020Yeah, I wouldn't blame much of the US. Apps simply PERFORM BETTER on iOS than on Android. That... moreApple haters also forgot that software updates are also for 5 years, they completely underestimated it. By the way, yes, my apps are running better than my (previous) Samsung handset. Games also run better in the iPhone. Had a Note Fan Edition (Exynos) and even in the lowest settings in PUBG/COD Mobile (smooth graphics, medium framerate) there are stutters and framerate drops here and there. OneUI update was 2 months late. Certainly not futureproofed and this is how Samsung wants you to keep upgrading your handset, don't let the cheaper price fool you.
MagicMonkeyBoy, 20 Jan 2020Great news. The rest of us will be buying superior phones then. Glad they bought those iPhones... moreTypical comment of an Apple hater who can't afford to buy their handsets. Let me warn you of Samsung's marketing strategy first, as I owned a Galaxy Note FE and S10e previously before I switched to a realme X2 Pro and iPhone 11.
Samsung installs huge amounts of bloatware in their handsets. This slows down the phone substantially. Pair it up with an underpowered Exynos chipset (usually found in M and A models and Asian/European S and Note series). Phone will get laggy after few years. Then Samsung will want you to upgrade your handset. Not to mention software updates are delayed for earlier models and their expensive pricing. Proof that I received the OneUI update very late for the Note FE (2 months delay).
Speaking of other brands, Xiaomi installs adware in their phone and is difficult to turn off. I checked the Redmi Note 8 Pro in a store and it needed you to sign up for a Mi account.
Huawei will just steal your personal data and the Mate 30 now lacks Google Play services.
Vivo has quirky build quality (I tested the Y91c, Z1 Pro, S1 Pro, and V17 Pro in a store, V17 Pro's popup cam seems to wobble, while the other models are too plasticky).
I thought the S10e (Exynos) is good because of its compact design, camera, and its overall user experience, but it's not. Playing games like PUBG Mobile causes device to heat up, then has FPS drops (smooth extreme). Fingerprint sensor is slow and gets scratched too easily like my Note. Luckily it did not suffer from the ultrasonic fingerprint issue in the higher models.
Enjoy your brick :)
Nice Guy, 20 Jan 2020That's why I say often.. US is the reason why Apple is still surviving XDNot really. Apple is still no.1 in terms of sales in countries like Japan. You can't say "surviving" when a company is worth "TRILLION" dollar. Which is like number one so far?
DroidBoye, 21 Jan 2020Apple's now reaping the rewards after the Huawei fiasco. "Competition" is easy with Apple thes... moreWhat? Huawei never really sold devices to the USA (other than bargain bin prepaid phones you can pick up on a Best Buy rack).
If anything, it should be OnePlus and Samsung that should be worried that Apple remains untouchable over there.
Yeah, I wouldn't blame much of the US. Apps simply PERFORM BETTER on iOS than on Android. That's not a disputable fact.
This is especially evident on content creation and social media apps such as TikTok, VSCO, Instagram, Photoshop, and Snapchat (Android apps still use what the VIEWFINDER sees to produce the content and not what the camera sensor picks up like on iOS. The result is noticeable compression and poorer quality videos and photos.)
Apple's now reaping the rewards after the Huawei fiasco. "Competition" is easy with Apple these days, at least in US.
MagicMonkeyBoy, 20 Jan 2020Great news. The rest of us will be buying superior phones then. Glad they bought those iPhones... moreSuperior Android handset? Yeah, right... for about two updates. After that, you either buy a brand new model that came after it or keep on using without any more major software update or security patches. I do care about security and longevity, and I do think very VERY seriously about switching from Android to iPhone. I don't really miss mobile gaming wih popular titles, very rarely do one.
A-M, 21 Jan 2020I'm pretty sure that the average consumer WOULD notice 120 over 60 htz screen, 5000 over 3900... moreAverage customer would notice 120Hz over 60Hz screen? Well I had seen them in action, and I definitely CANNOT see any difference whatsoever except during mobile gaming.
paco2x, 21 Jan 2020Lol this not like 2014, average users won't notice the hardware differences between current iP... moreI'm pretty sure that the average consumer WOULD notice 120 over 60 htz screen, 5000 over 3900 mah battery, and full screen display over gigantic 3 year old notch. iPhone innovation has dropped rapidly in recent years. It's likely the 12's will still have the notch! How ridiculous!
AnonD-771260, 20 Jan 2020Superior phones?? First of all most of the iPhones are on contract. It doesn't mean that peo... moreContracts are biggest rip offs in history of rip offs.... Paying more for same phone in name of getting it cheaper
MagicMonkeyBoy, 20 Jan 2020Great news. The rest of us will be buying superior phones then. Glad they bought those iPhones... moreHaha! I always love coming to Apple articles to read the ridiculous hater comments.
MagicMonkeyBoy, 20 Jan 2020Great news. The rest of us will be buying superior phones then. Glad they bought those iPhones... moreLol this not like 2014, average users won't notice the hardware differences between current iPhones and high end Android devices. Also like someone commented, most carriers in the US offers a variety of payment plans for the iPhones, so people won't shell out tons of money upfront.
