      And? Why would Apple care if someone else sell more units if they do it with cheap phones. End of the day Apple is the one who selling the phones which makes money for company no matter if they are #3 or even #10 place.

      Thats like saying Ferrari sales are bad because some other cheap car company sells a lot more cheap cars.

          Does it outsell 100 different android options available at $500 and below ???? .. use some sense before commenting ... try to be smart huh ????
          Apple has only 15% market share in smarphone sales. .... the rest 85% is android and others.
          Samsung and Huawei are at top 2 places. If apple keeps pricing their phones like this they will drop down to #5 spot by next year.
          Will sell 2 times it seems ... ROFL !!!!!

You woul... moreI would agree it would be hard to tell , but the fact they cheaped out on it for profit is more of the issue.. they could have at least done 1080p even if it slightly more per device and still made a big enough profit..

                I won't buy 800 pixel display,

                  Right on schedule with the annual iPhone sales are going down articles.

                    Who would buy that 800pixel display mobile, lmao that's why .

You woul... moreIt's funny how suddenly our smartphones have to have super sharp screen while it's perfectly fine to have "bad" tablet (which also looks great) and especially Computer screen where those extra pixels are more than needed. With smartphones we have had great screens many years ago already and still people whine about XR resolution which in real life actually looks great, silly.

                            Anonymous, 21 Nov 2018Its ppi of the display, not the actual resolution. You woul... moreYou are absolutely correct. So because customers like you want 326 ppi, Apple will ship even the successors to the Xs/Xs Max next year with 326 ppi and say "see we listen to our customers. We are a customer centric company". Obviously, inflation would still "force" them to increase their respective prices by another 10%.

You wouldnt be able to tell a difference between 828p LCD and 1080p amoled. The amoled is actually 720p when you factor in the pentile diamond layout of pixels in the panel which makes amoled resolution to be 2/3 of the tech spec.
                              326ppi (iPXR) is the same ppi for all their iPhones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 which is perfect. Anything more than 300ppi is overkill anyway, unless you use your phone in a VR headset, in which case not even 900ppi is enough.

                                    Dear Apple,
                                    We customers have realized that $750 is too much for low pixel LCD though apple mark it as best LCD, it would have been instant hit if apple have sold it with OLED screen with same price. But we all know it will hurt apple's profit margin.

                                      This "flop" will sell over two times more than any Android phone. And it's just one of three new iPhones which all are selling very well.
