Just throw more RAM at the problem instead of optimizing things to work better with less. It doesn't make one device inferior because it has less RAM, it just means it's highly optimized if it happens to still operate just as fast.

      America always wins even if their products are worse. Ask the British and Canadian how their superior fighter program went

            Do you want to reduce apple's profit margins and sales to 0%?

            Then your hate is doing absolutely nothing for your cause.

              [deleted post]China is what it is. More capitalist than US, for now. And about being shameless spy? Shame on you. US spies on effing EVERYONE, enemies and friends alike. And on me, as i am using Spydroid device for time being. Can't wait for Harmony OS.

                No shit Sherlock!
                One company that is not handicaped is doing better than the one that is.

                  [deleted post]Yeah. Samsung phones. Made in China. Apple phones, Made in China. 90% of phones are made there. The rest are Inida/Vietnam etc. Good luck sacking China from production chains. Reality is, this current blocking of China is some arbitrary BS blocking that makes no sense other than artificially stiffle Huawei and Huawei only.

                    That tells you how 88% users want nothing to do with iOS.

                    As usual, Android is the OS of choice on smartphones. IOS devices simply can't compete.

                                  [deleted post]Agreed. 100% accurate.

                                  China subjugated it’s own people and puts them in concentration camps.

                                  I’m not willing to look the other way for a silly smartphone spat.

                                    Samsung already beat Xiaomi to become no one seller in India. I predict this gain will only widen in future. There is only 9611 chips which has kept many buyers from going for samsung in budget segment. Once they bring new powerful chips it will be an easy pick. Hopefully 9611 will soon go out.
