Phones get more durable and last longer.

So it's logical that the overall activations drop for iPhones.

However the percentage shows that Android users change phones more. Either it's faulty, or they are not satisfy by it.. jumping from brand to brand.. or maybe just cheaper.. so they treat it with less respect.

      iPhone 15 retailed for $799.

      This WHOPPING $50USD increase is a "super high price", is it?

        Woo-hoo!

Not everyone on this site is some middle aged geek, lol. Teens can be geeky too. Anyway, at school, everyone has iPhones because they think it's best. If you have an Android, your not bullied per se, just not met with friendly comments.

Who popularized the stereotype that iphone is for rich people when it can be had thru credit or their parents' money?
              Also, broken screens and glass backs that aren't repaired because all money went to buying it.

                And Samsung also set a new microsd standard called SD Express. But none of their flagship phones can use an SD card.

A15 is still fast, you get 120hz, telephoto with 3x zoom as well an average price for 390-440 USD.

                      Well honestly every half baked android does 100% more tricks than Apple.
                      For example Motorola Edge 40 pro i use past year. Zero issues and is a lot better device in every aspect now cost 600 compared to 1800 for best Apple.

                          Mills, 25 Apr 2024Teenagers want to fit in and since their peers have iPhones... moreThat's just a teenage stereotype. iPhones are very attractive and cute at a glance and come in a variety of cute and eye-catching colors. Obviously Apple seeks to attract the attention of children and adolescents, and the Apple logo is very recognizable, distinctive or even pretty. Social networks also seek to attract mainly children, which will motivate them to purchase an iPhone. It's no different than choosing clothes, cars, or shoes from certain brands.

                            Mills, 25 Apr 2024Higher price? I thought it was the same? At least in the US... moreCompared to Iphone 1 from 2007 price is super high.
                            By the way wonder why is so low if its made in china and so in china should be cheapest beause no transport costs.

                              US must act now banning Samsung and the rest out there, not enough banning Huawei etc 🤔

                                      WhoCaresTM, 25 Apr 2024Not true. I just switched to an iPhone for the first time ... moreXiaomi 14 is only around 6'1, which is small, that's why I got a Xiaomi 13T Pro instead. If you are looking for a small flagship, android still has them.

                                        Their ladder pricing strategy (where each upgrade somewhat makes sense for money but you end up with an extremely overpriced product) gives its results.
                                        Instead of iPhone mini, they will introduce Super Pro Max Turbo Giga for 10k$ it will bust sales, I promise!
