Lol at apple fanatic below who can't accept apple has lost to Android but that they're perfectly okay with that as long as they've got blind followers like said fanatic who keeps buying their overpriced inferior products that they deliberately slow down as the years go by so they can rake in more profits than ever before.

And i mean every feature on the phones, like water resistance, slow motion, 4k, nfc, etc. Even first iphone was made with tremendous help from Sony. So yeah.... Wait until apple releases a 120hz phone, everyone will be like 'omg, innovation'.

              yeah I said it, 09 Nov 2020because you can't afford something speak for yourself ... moreI can buy fold 2 right away if i want, but i see no use for such a device, too big for phone and too small for tablet. Especially with fragmented Android which means Apps won't ever be supported for the screen ratio of fold 2. If fold sells like 500k. There's zero point for devs to support that device or any other foldable. New very big fragmention problem for Android is just behind corner with all these so called innovative devices like LG swing, galaxy flip, fold, mate X and so on. How devs can support all their extra usages to get full potential of These devices. It's just won't happen. I guess you are happy with very halfbaked broken experience. I wonder how long it takes until you have buyer remorse.

                I haven’t seen any big innovations in many years????.. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 and the MateXs are Big innovations just because you favor a brand you see Nothing, until apple makes it then it's a big innovation Smh

I haven’t seen any big innovation in many years from any phone companies. There’s nothing what any Android company offers which would be must have and be somekind of selling point. That’s what market overally also clearly thinks based on how badly Android high end phones are selling. They just don’t offer anything extra for asking price and that’s why sales are very low. Sametime Apple can sell so many high end phones because their userbase is so big that there’s always tens of millions who switch from old iPhones and from Android. There’s always big changing cycle every year for iPhone. Android companies just doesn’t have that. People are jumping with different OEMs and it’s very hard for invidual Android companies to keep their users when there’s so many choices.

                        Innovation is a distant dream right now in the iOS world.

Their product is so good that they can hold the huge market alone. It could have been very different direction if their product would have been bad.

                              Apple took big risk by keeping iOS for themself in early years, but they made it and now they are unstoppable because of that and have no real competion. They sell what they sell and Android companies are fighting for leftovers because they can’t standout with each other like Apple can with iOS. That’s why Chinese companies are killing Android market, they can sell same with cheaper price tag and those old dogs can’t really do anything about it, but just Watch how their sales going down, because they are selling more or less same but with higher price tag, iPhone is barely affected by this because they have standout experience which can’t be copied.

                                        Smartphones from high end segment are out of reach of most users.
                                        That segment starts at 2000$.
                                        Super premium segment above 2000$ dominated by Android.
                                        No iPhones to be found there.
