08 January 2021
There will be improvements in the software department, though.

The 1st Gen iPhone SE is still available for you and will run better than some crappy 3gb ram Android that barely gets security updates.

    Go watch this.

    Snapdragon 625 with 3gb RAM running fine.
    Imagine how good the flagship will run.

    Your iPhone SE will be dead after a year due to being needed to charge 3 times a day and batterygate

      Dude just get an iPhone SE 1st Gen, it will probably still get more updates than your latest crapdroid and probably still be relevant 3 years from now, you and I both know no matter how long the spec list on your crapdroid is your crapdroid will be forgotten next year and lose update support soon after, that’s why you are here.

      I would tell you to go get laid but considering how obsessed you are with an inanimate object you don’t even have, I doubt you even know a lady.

        Android Authority, 12 Jan 2021"Android sells a lot because they are cheap" ... moreSamsung Tweeting from iPhone again pretty much ends any argument you have, Android fanboys are obsessed with iPhone and so are Android manufacturers and CEOs of Android manufacturers:’D

        Premium Androids don’t sell because nobody, not even the CEOs care for them and developers prefer Apple App Store because they know iPhone users typically have higher income and pay for stuff instead of pirating (what Android users mostly do). :)

        Thank you for trying though.

          I've read enough of the comments, like first of all, wtf? apple fanboys are really toxic in the comment section, not gonna lie. To be honest, apple has made, if any, few improvements, but not revolutionary or anything. Lidar sensor, okay then. sensor shift stabilization, whoa, A14, meh. 6gb ram, finally, Dolby Vision, Okay, Cool. Raw performance won't really mean anything unless you have heavy workloads. and, also, they're not really making any big jumps or upgrades compared to android. like some phones went from 6gb - 12gb ram. i also hate how apple presents their new products like "30% faster"; "BETTER neural engine"; "2x performance". They sometimes use vague words to define their products like: better in what way? how is it better? any new features? apple is company that makes products at a premium for those willing to pay. they have potential, but they're really just not there yet. On the other hand, android has made allot of improvements over the past couple of years improving OS and overall hardware. a good example is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 with three new key features, The 'Variable Rate Shading', the 'Triple ISP', and 'Quiktouch'; Improves response times. Adding the new X1 super core with the new architecture and better speeds. okay so internals are finished, but how about externals? the screen for starters, Apple with the same screen design for the last 2 generations with little, to no improvement to the screen resolution. "Retina display"? Gimmick. XDR? more or less, a gimmick. the notch also bothers me as well. Like couldn't they just make a hole punch camera? They also didn't bother adding at least, a 90hz refresh display. Because of battery performance. Speaking of, they made it even worse than it already is, even worse than the Iphone 11 series. I thought they would at least pump it up to 3200mah or something but no, they did not, they reduce it to 2600mah (something close to that) bruh a 150 dollar phone could have outdone that with 6000mah battery which is roughly 3x larger than apple's. the only advantage of buying apple products is if you had 2-3 other apple products let's say: A mac and Apple watch the three devices (Phone included would have a smooth flow) In my opinion, The apple ecosystem is pretty toxic with all products being overpriced. Android is good in terms of prices and variety but compatibility can be sometimes be difficult. Overall, Android made big jumps and does the 'innovating' more than apple. This is just my opinion. so please, keep your imaginations and beliefs to yourself.

            They sell simply because they are cheap and effective.
            A cheaper phone outperforming your overpriced toy. Wow that must be so embarrassing.

            "it shows in the Google Playstore revenue which is always significantly less than App Store revenue that’s why developers also prefer developing for Apple devices because they know Apple users actually do have money to spend. :)"

            Who cares about revenue? If the phone is outdated like iPhone, what am I supposed to do with the revenue of the company? Apple is getting rich, not you... You still can't afford those premium Android phones.

            And developers are running away from iOS and their monopoly.
            EPIC GAMES, TELEGRAM, SPOTIFY, RAKUTEN AND OTHERS are against Apple and their App store practices. Facebook, Microsoft are against Apple as well.
            If developers of popular apps collaborate and drop support for iOS, the entire userbase will be left begging. But then, that is Standard Operating procedure for you iOS users.

              Nobody is even talking to you. I am talking to the other guy yet you had to intervene coz you are so de$perate for attention.
              Besides, you are the one who cant handle the truth.. I will continue to drop truth b¬mbs about Android.
              Don't reply to my posts and get a life.

                  Android manufacturers on their own can barely make decent software let alone an OS. How is it that so many companies make Androids and yet they still cannot maintain good software quality and have such poor Google Playstore revenue?

                  Year after year the Google Playstore revenue is significantly less than the Apple App Store revenue :’D

Android phones are first Division while iPhones are Premiere league, we are still waiting for and Android flagship that can do iPhone Max numbers on sales, but we will never see that because most android users are low income.

                            Giving users what they want is a speciality of Android.
                            No wonder, it is crushing the competition every year. It's just Addicted to WINNING! and the consumers win because of this approach as well.

                            Apple has lost the smartphone war the same way they lost the PC war.
                            While, Android has won the OS of choice award every year in the past decade.
                            Imagine winning footballer of the year or fighter of the year or cricketer of the year 10 years in a row!!! Just Wow!

Tomorrow If iPhone launches at 200$, the sales of top Model will go down worse than Android flagships.

                              Forget Android Flagships, Barely anyone buys the iPhone.
                              IPhones accounted for less than 15% of total smartphones shipped in Q3 2020.
                              325 million Android smartphones vs meagre 40 million iPhones.
                              Android established its authority over iOS long back.

                                While you will find the McLaren, Porsche, Lamborghini editions in Gsmarena phone list under the respective manufacturers.

                                Nice try though, you failed miserably 😶😶😶

                                And Is there any compulsion that some CEO can't use phone from other companies?
                                If you think brands develop products without trying rival products, then you are dreaming. Even carmakers openly buy cars from rival brands to serve as testbeds. Apple even used Motorola phones during developments for the first Iphone. Try again, hater.

                                  Doesnt makes a sense.
                                  Past 10 years since Jobs is gone everything which apple did was copy / paste and claimed as their technology.

                                    It’s cute that you desperately tried to use the luxury market as a point of contention, most millionaires and billionaires use iPhone anyway you clueless numbnut :’D even Android manufacturer CEOs like the Xiaomi CEO uses iPhones in his personal capacity,LOL!

                                    Nice try though, you failed miserably. :’D
                                    Barely anyone buys flagship Androids and almost nobody buys luxury Androids, even the CEOs of those Android brands will buy a $1099 iPhone before taking a luxury Android they make for free, THAT is how bad Android is. :)

I, myself, own a iPhone 11 Pro and i have zero regets about my purchase. I don´t care what others think. But yes, this TWQ Guy is a very good example for hardcore fanboyism. I mean, people have freedom, what they like and what they don´t like. It´s really sad, that those people are really toxic, when they see a Apple realted article. And you know what the worst thing is? They think, that the customers that buy iPhones, are s**pid. But in the end of the Day, the iPhone 12 & the 12 Pro have record sales than Android Flagships :). But from now on, i will use my 11 Pro for 5-6 Years because it´s still powerful and the battery life is still good after 1 Year.
