Duel83, 20 Oct 2018"I have been following the tech world 5 years and I know wh... moreWith all respect you don't know anything about Apple nor the technology.
I studied IT and study computer programming and soon going to study computer engineering.
I know what I am saying.
I'm your saying, the truth about Apple, you would have talked about how a company markets their products as they are best and pretend to be good when they're not.
Also, when your saying you have been following the tech for 20 years, you wouldn't call what I was saying "bulsh..t". I have stated facts, You must know that any company can say what they want to in order their product to succeed. Apple does that alot. I'm not saying they're bad company or they will go bankrupt but simply Apple doesn't innovate. Even the touch screen and all this can from Palm. The first design of phone from Sony. The name iPhone from another company whom they stole. The animojy and more.
The market is changed, it's not like they way it used to be and the other competitors and everyone got ambition to be like Apple and Samsung or better. So that's why Apple and Samsung pay billions for the marketing only. Why do you think we only here their names and not others like the HTC, Sony and LG? As if they are bad ??? They're not. they worthy of competition but it's just marketing that makes the products to shine and make people to buy them more. Samsung have proved a lot of times they're better than Apple.
Fun fact, when the iPhone X, Samsung galaxy S9+, LG G7, and the P20 pro failed in the waterproof test and the XZ2 won, no media talked about it. The iPhone was the first one to shutdown, then Samsung, and the other two survived with issues. But no one talked about it.

Huawei is the first threat to Apple then Samsung, at least Samsung can fight and won't lose since they are industrial and will fight and create things. See, yes they own Apple and who is refusing to Huawei to enter the US. Also there are other phones who do compete like the Oneplus and Samsung has a great share so please what are you saying???
There are people who like the iOS and some loyal fans but other the other people will always look for their pocket and if they're getting the same functions on a cheaper model then it's a welcome. Even the people who used to stand in ques for iPhones has decreased so much in the US. Actually the US people buy Android phones and they buy from many companies and Samsung has the big share there.
Huawei won't enter the US now but when the break Apple they might, because they the global market who is bigger the the US market.
I'm not here to insult you, I'm simply saying what I know and what is my reading. I speak logic. Apple has a lot of things but they don't want to benefit from that and if they don't, they will lose, Apple lost most of the market in the computer segment, and in others, iPad, airpods, apple watch succeeded cause of the iPhone, But the lost other segments to be the first. Apple doesn't create things from themselves, they buy a company and take their technology and say Look what we came up with. And in the long run, that won't help them.

      What will charge my XS Max faster? The supplied charger Apple was gracious enough to give me or the Mate 20 Pro's back side?

        KamAbdi, 19 Oct 2018This is thing you can't read what is between the lines and ... more"I have been following the tech world 5 years and I know what I'm saying."

        I've been following techworld over 20 years and mobile world very closely 9 years and i can say you have no idea what you are saying and especially about Apple. I've been following Apple since 2009 and i know a lot about that subject and
        can easily say that you have no idea what you are talking about.

        When you said that huawei is threat to Apple in US you tell it all, Huawei isn't threat to Apple, it's big threat to Samsung and others Android companies, not for Apple. Most people in US own iPhone and no they won't change to Huawei, they like iOS and iPhone. If they would have wanted Android phone they would have bought it long time ago already, they wouldn't change their very well known brand to some noname brand from China.

          Statistically, most people dont.

It's just marketing and all the compan... moreThis is thing you can't read what is between the lines and no one does because all of the people drank what the media say and yes Apple is big in numbers of the sales but honestly that only thing we find. Huawei is getting them by the minute and that's why they don't enter the US because Apple doesn't want lose in their home country like they lost China's market to Huawei and other Chinese phones.
            It's not opinion against me or you won or anything because your the one who all the time was cheering for Apple. It's about thinking and reading between the lines and I never said Apple will go bankrupt. It's obvious you weren't reading my comments clearly. I said their only chance is microLED in tech wise.

            Apple's most selling products and who opened the door for other products is the iPhone and Apple will do anything, like pay money to benchmark companies and do more aggressive marketing.
            Now I have understood that your brainwashed from the media.
            People buy Apple for their name nothing more. But the others are more compelling look and tech wise
            Tech wise nothing will go good for Apple. Example, a 10nm processor is still beating their 7nm processor.
            Apple is a candidit for lose. Why? Because they don't make or create a thing, Samsung, Sony, Huawei, LG and HTC, TCL and many more are industrial and when you get into the industry you can innovate more. Apple is one sided. They're a body without a soul.
            I have been following the tech world 5 years and I know what I'm saying.

Samsung and Huawei are doing it. The rest if they open their budget, they will get the same level of the shininess Apple has and everyone will buy those phones.

                This is stupidest thing i've seen a long time, but it just shows what i thought from your earlier comments, If you aren't tro-ll you are just crazy. You put so much stuff out which has zero credibility and can't prove any way. All the facts talks against your opinions in everything what you said in last comments.

                IPhone will be here many years and getting bigger lead over the competition and it will be best selling phone for many many years. Android companies are raising their phone prices which is very good thing for Apple, others want to try to do some money too and it will make iPhone feel cheaper than before. Things are going very well for Apple.

                  Duel83, 19 Oct 2018"Samsung was and is the No.1 in the sales for the smartphon... moreSo your the number guys who see that by increasing Apple will get more money, true but no one will gonna buy them when they hit the price of a foldable phone from Samsung. BTW, numbers doesn't tell anything except the crazy people who buy a name who is dead from inside tech wise speaking,

                  No they won't trust me. The people who want an afordable iPhone will gonna buy the XR, but there is nothing difference between the XR and the 8/8+.
                  When you look at the new mate 20 series, I don't think so.
                  For most of the Android's sales comes from all phones but now since they're all getting pricey, the high end ones could bring less money but i bet on the S10 will bring something even greater.

                  I don't know why your asking this question about the companies, when all and any company has a high end, mid end and low end categories who focus on the people's status whether they're rich, or middle class, or poor.
                  Apple is lucky on making pricier phones and the people crazily buys them and their expansive repairs but soon that luck will end for them when they reach too high prices.

                  Apple owns nothing. It's just marketing and all the companies can do that. Samsung and Huawei are doing it. The rest if they open their budget, they will get the same level of the shininess Apple has and everyone will buy those phones.

                    KamAbdi, 19 Oct 2018Please!!!!!! Don't lie to yourself. Samsung was and is ... more"Samsung was and is the No.1 in the sales for the smartphone for 5 years now and Apple couldn't beat them."

                    So you are these unit sales guys, how you think Apple can compete in unit sales when Samsung ASP is $200 dollar and iPhone close to $700. Apple goal have never been to sell most units. When you unit guys get that?

                    "Now, Huawei will get the No.2 with this year becuause Apple didn't add something new into their iPhones."

                    No huawei will be No.3, Apple best days for this year is ahead not behind. Huawei is very far from those numbers and now with XR Apple can have higher sales for longer time. And again you are still talking about unit sales. Apple most sales comes high ens models, for others sales are coming from selling low cost Android phones.

                    If you run company would you want to sell lot of cheap stuff without making hardly any money or would want to sell more higher price product and making a lot of money? I'm sure you pick the second one, just like everyone does If they can. But Android OEMs can't because Apple owns those market.

                      Samsung was and is the No.1 in the sales for the smartphone for 5 years now and Apple couldn't beat them. Now, Huawei will get the No.2 with this year becuause Apple didn't add something new into their iPhones.

                        What competition? Apple have zero real competition in the market. They completely own the market where they compete and it won't change, Apple lead is getting bigger and bigger.

                          The X did in the first quarter but not the competition hence why they cancelled it
                          For the XR, that will be the huge record not the XS Max

                              Apple does this every q and Yes they show it to Everyone, we know what Apple expecting and it's record q. So far Apple have always beat their targets. They did that with X too and X sold very well.

                                Fayth, 19 Oct 2018yeah I thought another RIP Apple comment, crazy meBy the way that could happen if Apple loses year after year like in 3 years.
                                The other companies are getting competitive and innovative more than them, even with their lower prices.
                                In the last 5 years Apple didn't do a new thing or something big, that's why their only hope is microLED they bought but by that time Samsung, LG with Sony and Huawei will do and always will have the better choices.

                                  Duel83, 19 Oct 2018"I meant that they will get lower sales than the X. Only th... moreThe XR will break the iPhone 6's record but the other 2 won't. I'm not saying no one will buy them, of course they will be bought but very small sales because they're way too overpriced and there is nothing new, hence why the X lost and a big reason it lost was the price.
                                  The XR will make the sales more because it's the cheaper iPhone even with it's storage. That's why they said there some problems with the LCD display so they delay it a bit. They wanted to force the people on the 2 pricier choices and get high pre orders because if they had put the XR with it, the people would've completely shifted to XR and then would win, their so called "mid-ranger" would be their high end phones. Why?? Because they're the same and has the faceID.

                                  Dude this is a company, and every year companies set themselves for a target on their new revenues and they don't show that to the press or media and they don't have you, otherwise, how they know if the succeeded and that's why the prices are getting higher, to able to achieve new targets of revenues

                                  The sentence you said is the the same sentence the media and the company says every about their phones and specially last year, when they announced the X, so don't be so sure.

                                    Bewildered , 19 Oct 2018There are comments that focus on single issues and miss the... moreI don't believe that A12 is strong and benchmarks are just numbers who can be manipulated so they can sell more phones which is a form of marketing. Because, in normal and non scientific speed tests the phone loses, even in the booting up the phone. Look at the pixel 3 and the iPhone XS or XS Max bootup side by side. Not only that, but check the other speedtest as well.

                                    I agree with you on the no micro sd is added but Apple started without it and became succuessful so they won't change that. But I one thing I hate they way when the phone becomes full and they charge you money to get into the cloud. The cloud should be free for 128 GB at least.

                                    iPhones where never fast, they give a normal fast like the phone is new and like that.
                                    Besides their OS is empty and bale and has nothing so some how that will boost a certain speed on the phone. On the other hand the Android is more strong and heavier than him and other companies doing their own Home UIs and their processors is faster than the iPhone. Most of the Android phones don't lag, specially Sony and Google's pixels.
                                    Who told you the 845 and after will lag and not the A12??? Apples updates make the OS heavy so yeah, why the previous A series processors didn't make the previous iPhones faster???

                                    Yeah I agree with you on the battery and I agree on the other things but that's the benefits of the 7nm processor which the Krin has and the Exynos and the Snapdragon will next year and put better optimisation more than the A12 and the Krin

                                      So they asked 500 iPhone users if they were getting the new iPhone and then based on that survey they're saying the sales are strong????
