Marko, 25 Nov 2020The same story is with android, after 2 years, software sta... moreNo. Phones would be well if ppl do factory reset every 8 months.
If moto g9 play with SD662 can handle android 10, then Moto Z Force (SD820) can do as well.

Okay listen up. They need to keep their posh offices running. Which involves a cost. They spend billions on r&d. All of that isn't really notices. Other companies just copy the best in the field like Apple Samsung etc. Due to which they don't have to pay for r&d. One plus 5 was a complete copy of iPhone 7+. And we know how cheap it was. So please specify all of that.

The gross profit margin seems quite low to me, given all the R&D effort involved in developing the iPhone hardware and software,

They aren’t good, they are great at what they are doing, that’s why they can compete against whole phone market alone and winning it. It could have gone really differently years ago when Android started to gain marketshare. But they got too greedy with it and didn’t care it at all they were just looking how it’s growing without limits or rules.
Because they don’t want uncontrolled fragmented mess what Android is? :D Android is ruined and can’t be fixed, it got too big too fast without any control and we see the results. Sametime Apple is getting bigger and bigger and is still very controlled and everything goes really smooth and people keep buying their products over and over again and Apple ecosystem running really strong.

Most countries do not have 5G yet and the most expensive component in an iPhone is the 5G modem.

Apple forgot that along the way and they just become greedy. Because they saw it is possible.
If they think they are so good at what they are doing, why don't they give other companies the possibility to make phones with IOS? Because is easier to create your own prices and guidelines when you have a monopoly.

Never wondered why? Because they went GLOBAL with their phones!
You know it cost a LOT of money to do that, oh well clearly you don’t.
We will see exact same thing with other Chinese companies if they want to do same scale business like Huawei does. Xiaomi is next, they clearly becoming very big. I also saw their first TV ad ever yesterday. So clearly they are also doing advertising now when Huawei is out of picture. Chinese companies normally doesn’t put money on advertising, they also doesn’t have global phone launches because they don’t have money to do that. They only advertise in social media because it’s free. When Huawei started to become very big they did a whole lot of TV advertising with big celebrities, same time their phone prices also went up because it was impossible to keep those way too low prices. In the end their high end phones cost around same what LG, Samsung, Apple and so on. Now the same is happening for Xiaomi and yes for oneplus too. And you think it’s greedy? :D really do some research boy!

The only thing Apple is permitted this, is because they were somewhat the first ones and because their alone with their OS. And they built up this loyal fanbase that will probably buy just about anything Apple will sell, at any price.
And yes, Samsung is the same. Huawei was beginning to be the same, but happened what it happened. To some extent One Plus is the same now.
But, for sure the most greedy of all is Apple. The problem is they know what they are doing and they are doing it without a remorse.

Boggy-Stefy, 25 Nov 2020Samsung is the same greedy type company like Apple. They are not greedy, they are just running business. Clearly you don’t because you sound really silly. Based on your comments all of us should start to making phones or any products really because only what you need is to buy parts and the device magically flyes to shellfs without any extra cost :) maybe you should do some research and check what everything you need before you can have worldwide product in stores?
