Someone above posted something about there not being a hidden which meant that Chinese are not spying using phones. This is extremely naive. Modern phones are computers. You having a phone with payment information, all your personal information, all your messages means that Chinese can access all of it anytime through hidden connections that cannot be detected. That they can do this is almost guaranteed especially considering companies like Huawei have strong connections to Chinese government and their military. You would not even detect their access because, they won't be doing it 24 hours just when they need to. They built the hardware, their own fork of the operating system, their own apps etc all managing your information. At the very least you are paying them and giving them all your data.

    Curious, 23 Oct 2021Can you show us the link to the videos that showed Chinese ... moreYa, sure. sharing the link of that video. And yes, I don't have anything to say about seriousness. What Chinese are doing is not a top secret anyway. Beleive it or not is depends on people. And I don't care if they are not taking me seriously.

      I think they actually do, why else Apple completely own the market where they actually competing? If Apple sells 57% of all phones costing more than $400 and 75% of phones costing more than $800 doesn’t that tell that when iPhone is actually option most want iPhone. Don’t you think that same would happen if Apple would make $200 iPhone.

          Would have... Should have... Such a fantasy world you live in...
          Meanwhile, Android is already dominating the market and budget Android phones are embarrassing iPhones. People are simply not interested in the 1000€ euro iPhones scam.
          Even your d€ad ceo lost his therm0nuclear war trying to beat android, you think a minion like you can change that??

            Only raise a bit after Huawei got sabotage.
            Even that most Huawei sales goes to Xiaomi/Oppo/Vivo.

            The only reason apple sales number goes up because the market got bigger.

              But Mr. Anonymous, tell me where I am wrong. Hope you have seen some videos where one Mi Chinese phone which suppose to have 3 cams but it had 4th one beneath the camera hump. There was no mentioned of that and no use in UI. So why they put that for..? I think, for you to get SURPRISE..!!

                False, they don't even try, they would only need to release one $200 iPhone and they would completely change the market. Let's face it, most of the people don't really want Android phones, they only buy it because it's only option. Apple would easily stole over half of the market by making cheap iPhone.

                    That number never increases further, it goes down to its baseline marketshare in the following quarters. No matter how much Apple tries, they'll never go past a certain marketshare, there are limited number of buffffoons ready to buy inferior iDevice, not everybody is in that boat.

                          So made by China is not a taboo like made in china but in reality there is no difference .

                            Anonymous, 21 Oct 2021Apple only have 0.2% market share in India And less than 3... more0.2?

                            ” According to research firm Strategy Analytics, despite some hiccups in the second quarter of 2021, Apple is bound to more than double its market share to 3.8% in 2021 from 1.9% last year. The next iteration of the iPhone—coupled with the already-popular iPhone 12, 11 and SE series—is seen driving sales.

                            Analysts expect India iPhone shipments to be in the range of 4-5 million units in 2021 as compared to 3.2 million in 2020.”

Knowledge of security threats is the main reason where people don't pay much attention. They are unaware of the outcome. I saw people buy 70k INR Chinese phone. I assume, price isn't the matter to them. But yes, they don't know the main reason behind that cheap price tag. SPYING. Recently, GOI issued a letter to all Chinese brands to re-verify the parts used in their brands.
                              And i know a few people who brought non chinese brand over a cheap high spec chinese mobile.
                              Trust me, it is very hard to make people understand the security threats where they proudly says - I am not Ambani pyr tata, let them take what they want.
                              I stopped discussion with them for ever.

After new sales and bank offers, iphones felt like anyother brand in price range. Man, people are crying over it. A few of my knowns brought iphone 12 (256gb) in 84k INR in July but in sales it was selling in 63k INR in Oct which is way way cheaper. A lot of people brought or upgrade to iphone 12 in last sale. It was sold from 50k onwards.
