Example, someone I know bought the iPhone X when it came out, then the following year bought the inferior iPhone XR. The reason they gave was because the iPhone XR came in a colour they preferred.

        People are waking up to what trash apple is. Overpriced devices that are already beaten by many cheaper competitors. At this point if you buy an apple product, it really shows something's messed up in your head.

                        ofcourse sales is down.. I still use old Xiaomi Redmi 3 model, just because all new phones are too big to buy, shovels are not possible to use by one hand and also do not fit so comfortable into pocket. also new phones batteries too weak, old Redmi much better battery endurance rating... so no point to buy a new one. Please, make a normal phone (compact, good battery life and good camera) and I will buy!

It's just my personal taste of course but s10e screen is not even bigger than "small" 5 inch when you're watching youtube. The meme about tall light saber looking phones becomes reality.
