        Was a matter of time, even if you use a different proces (5nm in this case), being able to get any waffers is another one.

Android is my daily driver and it's superior to iOS in many different ways, while iOS has its many benefits too. Only reason I care is my wife wants to upgrade her iphone and the quoted ship date for the 13 pro max in the States is November 16. To me it doesn't sound like there's very little demand, so the people posting this nonsense are clearly dumb.

The Galaxy Fold legitimately is best and most cutting-edge piece of tech out there. Any iPhone does not even come close to it. So yeah, their "bragging" is justified

            And I never said anything about Fold being 'expensive' eventhough, once again, for what it offers, is not really too much. Talking about expensive or boring or heavily overpriced or way too much hype etc, there is just one phone I can guess about 🙂

              Consumers looking to upgrade or switch to a new iPhone early in its lifecycle are showing more interest in Apple's higher-end iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max modes, largely due to a lack of relevant rivals.

              In a note to investors seen by AppleInsider, JP Morgan lead analyst Samik Chatterjee detailed the results of a consumer survey in the U.S., U.K., and China that attempted to quantify iPhone 13 and Apple Watch Series 7 interest.

              The survey results may bode well for Apple's new lineup. For example, about 65% of current iPhone users said they were looking to upgrade to a new iPhone, while around 50% of Android users said they wanted to switch to an iPhone. Those stats are global, and interestingly, consumer upgrading or switching interest was lower in the U.S. than in the U.K. or China.”

              50% Android users wanting to switch to iPhone. That makes sense, very few reasons to buy Android phone anymore except if you want cheap $200-300 phone.

                Nobody cares, 13 Oct 2021May be they are not selling as much as they anticipated cos... moreNot selling as much and people need to wait one month to get one, wait what?!?!

                                For all the Android boys in this article, learn to read they cut production for whole iPhone 13 family, not just for iPhone 13.

                                Like i said month ago if you want one act fast or you will wait for very long time. I've been enjoying my 13 Pro since monday after the launch. Such a great phone! And the camera quality is stunning.

                                    Ah-oh… is it really because of the chip shortages, or it is due to the fact that they are having a very low sales. Do you really think that you would still be able to fool us⁉️

                                      Jeez, so many ignorant posts that it blows my mind. The current wait time to get the new iphone is over a month and you people are saying that it's cutting down production due to low demand. I feel like this site's forums have the lowest average poster's IQ on the internet as well as lowest quality of posts. Why is that?

                                        Lens recycled from the 12 pro max, a15 chips are the -1 gpu core rejects. Same RAM for 3 straight years now and still no high refresh rate. Heck, it does not have to be the expensive ltpo panel if they want to save money. The could go on a fixed 90 hz on the 13 to differentiate it from the pros and more people will upgrade.
