Apple dont make cheap phones for poor people like Android brands do. While android have phones from 50 euro up to 2000 euro with all types of hardware and design of the phones.
Android people just need to hope that in 2021 there be more compact phones that have decent hardware or high end hardware and copy the size of a phone like some copy no charger in the box

I have under 200 euro phone that is over 2 years old and still i charge my phone once in a week. And it's only 4000mAh battery.

Why are in the iphone mini text compared with Xperia 5 II ? It's not a compact phone and all cause of it has 6.1 inch screen but still is 158mm tall thats not a compact in any means. Just cause it is 6.1 inch screen dont make it compact. Samsung A41 is 6.1 inch screen and is 149mm tall so close to 10mm smaller then Xperia 5 II.
And i dont think lots of android users will go for apple phones even cause of there small mini or SE as these phones cost too much and it's not practical for a small phone to be so expensive when it's not made for all the heavy tasks you need bigger screen for like gaming or video coding. And well you dont buy a mini phone for your self to play games on or do video chopping.
Android users just need to wait and hope that in 2021 there be more compact phones for android in every category of price

The M1 Macbooks are impressive despite using an old design and traditional webcam. I have watched both Gary Explains and most recently Linus Tech's Yt videos to see how they perform. Both the performance and battery life are excellent.
Performance beats Intel Tiger Lake (i7 Gen 11 with Xe graphics), while thermal throttling only to 5% performance. This even reflects in the A14 chip where the iPhone 12 (in Gary Explains) only throttles slightly, but still runs hot nevertheless, which is a huge jump from the messy A13. That's even for the Macbook Air with no fan and only thermal paste.
The Macbook Pro SoT can last up to 20 hours with a certain screen brightness and idling, which wipes the competition.
M1 GPU performance already beat the Geforce MX350, also a win as it beat the Xe graphics by a big margin. Shadow of The Tomb Raider at low 720p can run on 60fps locked (Notebookcheck). M1 running on Rosetta emulating Windows apps has excellent performance and great x86 compatibility, something that mobile Windows (x64) users has to beg it cannot run on x86.
The weakness is the limited connectivity (only 2 TB ports), which is something to keep in mind.
The Apple chip is true innovation. Cannot say the same for removing chargers in the iPhones, which is a huge insult. The deal-breaker when buying a new iPhone.

I feel sorry for people like you, maybe put away that silly hate and bias and just try it? So many have done it and are now happy iPhone users. Even at my workmate was all Samsung before and he were complaining about his phone weekly. One day he bought his first iPhone and now he’s been iPhone user for many years already and i have never heard him complaining about his iPhone.
You can’t see it from checking spec list why hundreds of millions of people like iPhones. It’s the overall packet and experience which matters, not invidual numbers on paper. Everything need to be in balance if you want to sell high end phones with high price.

In Taiwan, the 12 Pro costs more than Note 20 Ultra and 1ii (12GB ).
Considering the initial price of both.

T... moreThe specs that you list may sound great on paper, but once people actually use their smartphones, things can turn out to be quiet different. For example, a high number of pixels in cameras or a lot of cameras does not equate better or even great pictures or videos.
Plus, you forget important items. Fundamental parts of the user interface / experience are much better on iOS, such as reaching the top half of the screen, which is vital unless the screen is small, quickly getting to the top of the screen (without needing to do any time-consuming, useless scrolling), or even organizing apps within folders as the user wishes.
Also, OS updates are incommensurably better on iOS. On Android, even for very expensive flagships, you have to wait months and months then you get zero major Android update, and even minor ones stop. Just list one Android device, flagship or otherwise, out of the thousands that exist, that was updated from Android 10 to Android 11 in September?

Just need to start accepting that Apple is taking bigger and bigger cake from high end market and also mid-end market too.
How you then explain this https://www.counterpointresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Chart-v2.png what phone did these iOS to Android switchers bought? And why iPhone 12 sales are really high? Only with two week sales iPhone already dominated the list.

It's much better to have a great LCD screen, like in iPhones, than an OLED that is highly reflective, over-saturated, insufficiently dim, lacks uniformity in colors / brightness etc., or has other issues.

Apple have really strong phone lineup this year, offering choices for many price point, that’s why iPhone 12 lineup is having best iPhone sales ever
https://www.counterpointresearch.com/apple-oct-nov-iphone-sales-signal-record-quarter-2021/
” Apple is likely to break previous iPhone sales records during its FY first quarter, according to Counterpoint Research’s Global Monthly Sell-Through Tracker, setting up the company for what could be the biggest year ever for the iPhone.”
I’ve seen surprisingly many Android switchers with iPhone 12. I guess the widgets did a trick.

Today, you have better options in the Android World. Example: 90/120Hz Displays, dedicated cooling system, bigger battery, fast charging Technology (ex. 30W, 65W, 120W), open Ecosystem with customizing freedom bigger Screen and expandable MicroSD Slot.
Cr*apple just lags behind the Android competiton when it comes to Innovation.
Glad, that i didn't spend 0€ for this greedy Company, proud to be a Android User since 10 Years!
