So, from technical perspective, FaceID is more secure. Also, some tape on fingerprint doesn't work afaik. Especially not on ultrasonic sensors that require depth information of the fingerprint.

                what does he mean by 2021 models?
                models that would be introduced at september 2020 (and arrive to markets around the world by the end of 2020)?
                or models that would be introduced at september 2021, essentially making them 2022 models?

                    so many losers here making fun of Apple for being late, yet all current under screen scanners are super slow, inconsistent, and straight up trash compared to capacitive sensor or even LOL Face ID!

                    Haters, better pray Android OEMs stays on top on the tech, cause I'll be laughing hard at all of you if Apple, yet again, manages to deliver the best experience despite being late. That'll be innovation for sure lol

                      AverageUser, 07 Aug 2019Wireless power share and wireless charging are 2 different ... morethey are different things for sure, but wireless power share is kind of a wireless charging. you are just using another phone instead of a charging device. isn't it?

                      I have a bose QC35 wireless that doesn't support wireless power share. most of the bluetooth earphones/headphones on the market doesnt support this feature. maybe only a few would get benefitted from this feature. so why on earth would it be a major deciding factor for most while buying a phone?

                      From my second point its clear that I use wired headphone. so it doesn't need a genius to understand that I wont use wireless power share.

                      but anyway, you already gave the conclusion (sarcasm is real).

                          Which smartphone retains good battery capacity after 2/3 years? None. This is how those rechargeable batteries are designed. Read more about it please before drawing these issues.
                          Redmi has a better functional os than iphones? Sure, In an alternative world where showing advertisement is considered as a top function.
                          Redmi displays can't even change orientation when needed. Let alone being more functional.

                          I would have agreed though if you used galaxy s10 as example.

How does that translate into LONG BATTERY LIFE? FYI, i still use my 6s plus which has a decent battery life. I changed the battery after 2.5 years and getting enough on screen time right now.

                            Now i answer your points.

                            1.Having SD card slot would be better but i don't need it. I have enough space left on my phone.
                            2. Mine has 3.5mm jack which is very convenient. Most android flagships don't have it now a days.
                            3.i don't use wireless charging feature. What is the percentage of users actually use wireless charging? Very little.
                            I don't think Android should get credit for some invalid points.

                            Again, if you are into more features, buy android. Value for money? Android. But I haven't encountered any hypothetical situation where i wished something I don't have an android phone would be able to provide. I am none to judge what's better. I got what i needed and am happy. That's it.

Sure usb otg is there for Android but not in ios, i haven't ever felt I need it. I used android since 2010 before i got ios and though otg became available, I never needed it.

                              Come on. Not everyone need each and every feature. In my earlier post i wrote that as a commoner, i find the features that i need are working well on my iPhone and i am happy with it. It has most of the things i need and no phone in the market has everything.

                                    The battery replacement, extra accessories you require to get basic things working, pay for cloud storage, all these things cost money which can be fixed by buying a Redmi note 7 pro or some other budget device which works great, has the latest tech and is more functional than using iOS

                                      ”What if that photo you want to see is on the cloud and you don't have internet connection?”

                                      No internet connection? Haven’t happened in years, also the photo is always in camera roll so you don’t need internet connection.
