        [deleted post]"Apple would get obliterated if Huawei was allowed to sell their phones in the US."

        I know you are just trolling, but care to explain why iPhone sales in EU haven't been affected by Huawei if what you say is true? Huawei is not and never been threat for Apple because Huawei runs android. People who buy iPhone want iOS and iOS ecosystem. Huawei phones are still same android phones which market are already full off.

        What Huawei offers what for example Samsung already haven't offered years? If people in US would switch to Huawei they would have switched to Samsung many years ago already, but they keep buying iPhone because of iOS and Apple ecosystem and that will never change.

            Anonymous, 07 Sep 2020Your chinese brands built their legacy upon stolen ip from ... more100% correct. Most Chinese phones are not selling well outside because of the IP issue. They steal the IP and then want to sell....well then they need to pay for the IP they use and they do not.

            Chinese phones with Global IPs are sold without IP Royalty. If Chinese Government forced the law for IP, they would not be so cheap and the market in China would be very different.

            Always been an issue in China. Non Chinese Brands are not supported properly.

              Anonymous, 07 Sep 2020Ridiculous statements like this is why I come to this site.... moreAgree with you. Take out China and Huawei were never anywhere. S many silly comments from people that have no real idea. If only people could take a step back and rationalise how the world works.

              Not about opinions, it is about the business sector. Apple and Samsung have Pioneered the industry for years, flooding money in to original innovations. For the people the love Nokia of old....look back and understand what happened there. The Mass outsourcing, the massive investment in Symbian and the stubbornness to stick with it when all other founders fled to Android. The made huge mistakes that caused their downfall. Symbian was good, but it had huge limitations. Sick of hearing about Nokia. They are a million miles from where they were. Nostalgia has no place in modern and Innovative Technology. In Telco, everyone feeds off the innovations of the top 2 and the top 1 is selling plenty of its innovations in to the rest.

                  All experienced slowdown after 1 year usage. My most recent Samsung may have slowed down, but still sufficient at least.

                  Tried an iPhone as well and is much snappier in daily use.

                  Ice Universe (a reliable Samsung leakster) has indicated that Exynos AMD partnership may be delayed for a year. This means that Exynos 1000 does not use AMD GPU. No further updates on the partnership means that it's likely that that chipset will still be underperforming.

                          Dark Mode came from Samsung's One UI
                          Contact-less payment was way more superior on Samsung phones before apple even thought of it, and it still is, FACT!

                                Exynos may be at a disadvantage in face of snapdragon. But samsung us determined to improve it next year.

                                Samsung manufacters DRAM, flash storage, sAMOLED,cameras for other OEMs. So your chinese phone has some of the mist critical parts made by samsung.

                                  It only got incorporated into the OS late.
                                  So technically it was Apple copying and playing catchup like a dog.

                                  iOS can only dream about being as advanced as Android.
                                  lol it took them 10 years to deliver basic widgets and app drawer all of which are still half baked and full of bugs.
                                  Even budget devices are embarrassing iOS in terms of software features and ease of use.

                                  All the Optimization PR campaign from Apple has been badly exposed in the real world.
                                  Handicapped ecosystem of iOS will never be as polished as Android.
                                  Keep dreaming!

                                        Anonymous, 08 Sep 2020Must be frustrating for you to see Samsung succeeding. Samsung succeding?

                                        Check some Counterpoint statistics and sales globally except in several parts of Asia have gone down sharply.

                                        Apple and Xiaomi sales recently have been a success.

                                        It's due to Samsung's uncompetitive pricing and Exynos chipset. Almost no one wants to buy a phone that slows down significantly after 1 year use.

                                        I used to have Samsungs on my desk. Nowadays they go into my dustbin.
