That market is dominated by 13 Pro Max 1TB, you know Apple users have money ;) 1TB iPhone is in high demand, month wait currently if you buy now.

    800$ qualifies as regular flagships, not ultra premium ones.

      [deleted post]Again if this would happen it would show in other Android OEMs flagship sales, but it's not showing and sametime iPhone sales are really high, because they are switching to iPhone.

      "Within the premium segment, while all the price bands saw growth, the highest growth (182% YoY) was seen in the ultra-premium band (>$800). This was mainly due to the strong momentum of the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro.

      Apple captured close to 75% of the ultra-premium segment, compared to 54% a year ago"

        [deleted post]I agree with you... I have exclusively been a Samsung Galaxy user all my life.
        My wife has used either iPhones or galaxy all her life.

        Last year she switched to Mi 10 ultra. Her previous phone being iPhone 11.
        As far as I am concerned, after selling my Galaxy Note 9, I bought the S21 Ultra... but returned it after getting dissapointed with my expectations, eventually switching to Mi 11 Ultra.

        Samsung needs to make rapid improvements otherwise these Chinese players will soon take over the market, they already have in multiple places.

          According to who??nice selective price range to increase iPhone percentages.

          Phones above 1500$ is the real ultra premium segment as very few people can afford those phones. Fun part is that it is dominated by Android.

            [deleted post]"And this why Samsung sold 13.5 million galaxy S21 series which is lowest for galaxy S series in history because iOS users are switching to Android flagships? :D"

            The S series sold lowest because traditionally Samsung flagships were the best, that isn't the case in 2021.
            Back in the day, there were no premium flagships from OnePlus, Xiaomi, Vivo and others.
            Now they do exist and people have happily rejected Exynos based Samsung worldwide for other, better Android flagships.

              constipation, 03 Nov 2021See my points earlier about tablet optimization. YT vanced ... moreThere is no youtube Vanced app for TV. But there is Smart YouTube TV which gives the same ad free experience as Vanced and is completely optimized for TV.
              Maybe you should research more before repeating age old stereotypes about apps not being optimized on Android.

                constipation, 03 Nov 2021Sure, but again, that's something geeks would do. I do... moreYou don't need to be a geek to use apps available on android for all.
                Do only geeks access thrid party apps on iOS???

                Here's the reality, if you wanted full customizability, go for Android. If you wanted maximum user experience and polished ecosystem out of the box, go for Android.

You people are experts in picking most niche thing and presenting it as "used by everyone and more important than breathing itself" thus Android is superior something something.

                          Well that's called fragmentation, of course it's lot harder to develop app for hundreds of Android phones compared to few iPhones. That's why Android users will always get second grade experience. That's why Android isn't seen as premium choice anymore.

                            [deleted post]"Better quality apps on Android". Literally all apps I use on iOS are way worse on Android. They feel like someone made them in their lunch break during their actual work and often lack features or functions for whatever stupid reason. Down to as mondane things like saving a photo on Reddit. On iOS you just long press any photo and save it. Function that just doesn't exist on Android (or at least hasn't in last several months when I tried it). You had to go through weird hoops and loops to save picture which is just silly.

                                I was mainly referring to the photo quality where the 13 pro max tends to give every single picture a reddish tint

                                  You can have that opinion, but in reality iPhone video cam is best in the market and still cam also among very top best.

Honest it's really benefical to have freeze last seen, one click status saver and anti delete messages.

                                    The reason why I don't use it anymore, because Android's Doze is such an a--hole to deal, and these modded WA often missed my calls (on idle my phone won't rang if someone is calling) and it disbenefited me very much (I got angered by few people due to missing their calls). It even went offline quite often when the app is on foreground.

YT vanced has no official TV version of it. Yes you can install it but the navigation by remote control would be such an ass, not to mention the UI would looked funny compared to an app that designed to run on TV from the ground up. That's my point, Apple have their own and 3rd party apps to supports each of their devices individually. You won't see an iPhone apps to run on iPad and it's nice since its UX would take the most out of its screen area.

                                        [deleted post]Sure, but again, that's something geeks would do. I don't think average users would do something like that. Not to mention there are possibility to harm the device, if they're not aware enough of what they're doing.

                                        And it rather supports my point earlier, if you wanted full customizability, go for Android. If you wanted maximum user experience and polished ecosystem out of the box, go for Apple.
