But still DOUBLE THE RETAIL PRICE..... Seriously people should realize already how greedy cr@pple is....

    Of course, cheaper components to squeeze more $$$ in profits. Typical Apple, cheaping out on product components for more profits from their m-i-n-d-l-e-s-s er I mean loyal customers.

                    Anonymous, 02 Jul 2018MediaTek is better than QuallcomAre you delusional?

                    Mediatek is far far away on Qualcomm.
                    Nobody loves Mediatek when we are talking about midrange and flagships.

                        Mediatek better do a good job at it. Helio M70 sounds promising. Hope our 5G network are ready by 2019. So many phone maker planning on this same route.
