Ionitaci, 27 Jul 2021Honestly Apple could make the iPhone from solid gold with d... moreBecause all you people look at are specs. iPhone sells because it's MORE than just specs and die hard Android users just can't seem to grasp what that magic is. It's still VERY solid in everything you expect from phone and just superior in a lot of functionality the way how simple it is and how it just works. And here all of you just look at it and start counting what it doesn't have compared to Android and just totally and entirely ignore everything great about it. Maybe it doesn't have 500 million features and settings, but it being able to "just work" is the magic a lot of people want and value over just "moar of everything". The fact I haven't had to factory reset it in 3 years and it is just as snappy as it was on day 1 when I bought it and the fact that every single update that was ever released was accessible to me the moment it was announced is just invaluable to me more than 8K display with 20 core chipset and 8Ah battery with 15 worthless 2mpix cameras. It literally just works and I love it.

But in absolute numbers, nowhere near it's competition in the market! iPhones in India are mostly second hand mobiles bought at Android mobiles, starting from one year older models until iPhone 6!!

      I have used titanium Autorelay watch made by Seiko but I didn't find any difference between steel and this in terms of durability.... for huge price bumps Apple is using such ploys!! Such materials make sense if users can use it for 10 years and if we can fix the components ourselves. Otherwise, it will only fancy stuff has no big meaning for the consumers

          Honestly Apple could make the iPhone from solid gold with diamonds etc. and it will still be mediocre at least. Apple is so far away behind competition regarding the design and specs.

              So they are copying Essential again: first the notch, then a titanium alloy frame.

                  Anonymous, 27 Jul 2021U ever heard of the word „alloy“?You should know that there are different grade of titanium alloy and most of its alloy contains only 4-6% titanium of the alloy, and it's prices are compared to gold so Knowing Apple they will use it as a marketing bs or will use the lowest grade alloy to overprice their phones again just like so called sapphire shield that's not even comparable to gorilla glass 6 or victus.

                        Apple witnessed a massive 207 per cent growth (year-on-year) in India in Q1 2021, continuing to carry forward its momentum in the January-March period this year."

                          Even if they really use titanium alloys it will have maybe 0,0002% of titanium inside a standart alluminium alloys which adds 0,03% of scratch and break resistance.

                              so far, iphone 14 has more leaks than iphone 13 :)

                              aluminum vs titanium cost difference is visible in plenty of smart watches. same should go for phones for sure.

Would you buy Realme, OnePlus, Oppo or Xiaomi if your country sllamed a 400€ extra cost on top of what device costs literally "just because"? Probably not aye?

                                    Noone of that ever confirmed but apple still claims its shapphire glass even it was proved its standart glass screen with GG5 or so protection.
