[deleted post]I have 4 years old Lenovo Yoga and 2020 macbook pro....why wouldn't I buy a flagship phone?
Yes, I am not crazy to pay 1500€ for a phone that I will be using a year or two, but I can buy an IPhone 11 for 600€ on contract...and I don't see any better or even similar offer from android side for that kind of money....so I guess that, after 7 years I will be going back to iOS.

    Wily2020, 16 Jun 2020Android fans always trying to say how Android people want b... moreBecause after all these years, tons of people still wrongly consider iphone as something famcy like wearing Rolex or driving Lamborghini. All this because iphone used to be much more expensive than android phones.

    It is beyond stupid that cellphone is symbol of social status.



      Android fans always trying to say how Android people want best and most advanced phones with most innovated tech. Yet over and over again these sales stats just shows it's clearly iPhone which people prefer when they are ready to pay more for their phone. Very few are ready to pay lot for Android flagship phone or care that so called advanced tech, which this data also shows.

        If you have money for flagship phone just add a little more and buy a great laptop which will last longer than ten years. For phone mid rangers are good enough.

          Even last years iPhone XR sold twice as much as the closest, latest, flashiest flagship android. LOL. Let the numbers do the talking!

            Chinese are very careful with their money, Apple at second in China is a huge accomplishment.

              It is funny how Apple Iphone is considered the best phone by all people, well what good marketing can do, from an avarage crapp (that started to be good only after stealing Nokia antena design and many other patents, or employing Nokia ex Workers) to a top tier device. Well,what goes up eventually goes down.

                  APAC is Pacific Asia (it does not count China here).
                  There is no data of the rest of Asia.

                    iphone 11 is not premium. it's on overpriced midrange phone with an outdated display.
