The Apple iPhone 11 outdid the previous best-selling smartphone, the iPhone XR.

But then again you know more about those phones coz you clearly have tons of experience using those cheap brands.

    They can't even get those fewer models right.
    Their userbase traditionally is seen begging for features that exist on 100$ Android smartphones.

      Also, the post was about one model of iphones and you go and say about all the Android phones in the World. Typical Android fanboy, increasing the scale of the comparison, just to make Android look better.
      If some Android model in particular is so good, why people don't buy only that model? Having too few options is not good, but having too many is even worse.
      That is the problem with Android, Google is permitting too much to too many companies. And that is why is such a bad user experience and is so fragmented.

        I also think sometimes people with registered account reply to my comment anonymously for some reason.
        I tend not to reply to those comment.

          Also if we take a closer look at numbers of 2020, second spot holder Samsung's phone is at 1/3rd the numbers. It's huge difference between 1st and 2nd spot. This itself is a proof of dominance of Apple iPhone.

            Another Apple thread (again, with irrefutable evidence of Apple's superiority), another bunch of salty Android babies struggling to wrap their heads around the article. I love reading your salty comments - I love them.

              Cheaper panels like the one found in Redmi Note 8 had screen retention/burn-in issues.

              On paper iPhone only has 828 pixel, but it's an LCD, not an OLED panel. It looks sharper if you're actually seeing the phone itself. The downside is that LCD is less efficient. The battery on the iPhone is not that big to counter the LCD.

                Besides mock-up phones and tiny brand phones also come with Android.

                Huaxing S20U with periscope cam, a Galaxy S20 Ultra imitation, also comes installed with Android. $50 Haier phone also comes with Android. HDC iPhone 11 Pro Max comes with Android as well.

                Android varies, some (Samsung, Xiaomi) are good, others (nubia, Vivo, TCL, realme) are rubbish.

                At the end of the day, iOS is exclusive. Be thankful that iOS is more friendly to Android than the past where everything was extremely restricted and you can't even migrate data cross-platform (you can now just rely on Google).

                  This is why Android rules and is head and shoulders above the competition.

                      It's just the pathetic SE 2020 and iPod Touch that I'm worried about. Tiny battery and mediocre specs.

When would the Android fanboys understand that people buy experience which apple is the best in providing. Apple devices tends to make the user more satisfied. I saw a video where the display of XR came out to be far better than poco phone despite having lower resolution.

                          As said fanboys are the worst. A big chunk of Apple fanboys are plain dumb too to think whoever can't afford iphones buys android.

                                  So sad seeing android makers getting greedier than apple. Buying 1300 android compared to buying same priced iPhone, smart people will buy iPhone because of +5 years of updates or upto 50% resale value. Android lost its selling point. Apple is even staying on their pricepoint this year.

                                    [deleted post]This might come as a big surprise for Android boy who is living in a tech bubble, but most people aren't buying specs. When will droid boys will understand that?

                                    They buy the experience. It's not like those specs tell anything for them anyway, only people like us knows about specs and what they mean and might care about specs.

                                      [deleted post]In USA, Apple hold a firm grip on their market share, nothing change much.

                                      What's worth mentioning, in my opinion is in Asia, especially China, South East Asian, South Asia. Apple successfully built their brand as a symbol of wealth and fame.
                                      Thus, with the economy growth from those countries, Apple will be their first choice.

                                      So, I'm not surprised that Apple will continue to dominate the premium segment of the phone.

                                        Do you think you pay $700 for nothing?

                                        Just salty about how well iPhones are selling these days.

                                        They think that people buy androids cause they have better specs for price. What they don't realize is that people ONLY buy androids cause of the price. Cause 1,400,000 people(poco f1,doubling sales from 3 months) to 37.6 million in half a month? That's almost 1 person buying poco to 27 people buying iPhone.
