Developers will make lot of new technology better and even less costly but manuufacturers will anyway keep bigger prices. Just to earn more money.
Said fact.

    I guess I didn't have to drive it home, myself, as you just beat yourself up in the last paragraph. Absolutely nobody ever said it's Apple. Kindly go ahead and show who did. What was said is that it's a copycat. And since you have, after many unnecessary writeups, admitted to that, settled then!

    One more thing, if comprehending my last paragraph was difficult for you: when a product is said to be a copycat of another, it's virtually entirely based on looks. Nobody looks at a product and sees its internals. Lol 😂

            Cyberchum, 29 Jan 2022Do you even know what copycat means, ffs? Man, go and gain ... moreMan have to opposite sorry but i have to argue:

            Lets one by one:
            Do you even know what copycat means, ffs? Man, go and gain knowledge on the topic first if you must argue it. It's absurd that one could look at this phone, yet claim that it's not a copycat. A shameless one at that.
            I know what copycat is this one maybe at first look its a same phone but on other look its not because different camera, 3,5mm jack and usb makes difference.

            That said, now, let me address your claims, some of which are either baseless or flat-out lies:
            1. Yes, this has larger battery than iPhone 13, but also a larger footprint. But, despite having larger battery, it'd most probably have significantly lesser endurance rating.
            Lesser endurance??? Unisoc tiger 310 on Gionee is a very tiny powerhungry CPU i doubt so. Phone will definitely last longer because comapred to A15 bionic on a stand by would and could last longer also Harmony OS is less powerhungry than IOS using a heavy battery consumtion apps such as fortnite or other games etc yes thats a different story.

            2. It has same RAM size as iPhone 13, but would almost certainly be much more slower. Miles. And same applies to storage, except that the iPhone's least variant is this phone's largest. Much more slower i doubt so. Transfering uge video files will be problem but on basic use it will be likely same.

            3. More pixel count, yes. So? The camera on this can't hold a candle to the iPhone. Even in the best lighting condition, it'd take grossly inferior photos. Man seeing what you wrote you never saw the camera in works you just trying to tell from what you assume.
            Maybe you are right but fact is its 13 Mpix vs 12Mpix on apple.

            4. Way faster charging? Really? And you know that exactly how? Fanboys are really funny, aren't they? The iPhone charges at 23W; this phone wouldn't make it past 18W.
            Man really??? The unoficial rating its 23W i doubt so. Apple since apple 1 used the slowest possible charger to not ruint their love flatable batteries. On papwer it can charge 23W in real life conditions i bet it cant past 15W on average from 0 to 100% compared to that this one Gionee will be better.

            5. OS is entirely down to personal preference, so is in no way objective! But, preference aside, this phone can't hold a candle to the iPhone in performance. Battered and mauled.
            Man Apple performance is laughable since they releasing constant updates every week or so to patch whats broken. They fix one thing and 10 more gets broken. Apple way to updates. Also phone its self doesnt cooperate with anything not related to apple.
            Compared to that Harmony OS working very well with everything.

            If I was an iPhone/iOS user, the only things I would want from this wannabee are SD card slot, USB type C and 3.5mm jack. As a huge android fan i cam hpopnestly say Apple will never get close to my house. Its inaproporiate OS not cooperating with any non apple device is a big no. Even i can afford many apple devices i like to chooose i mean options. Having everything from a single brand at home is a problem fom me. Also i dont trust apple since they send to the courts everybody who doesnt cooperate. But hey they are unable pay to app developers their rightfull share. They trying to detour South Korea government etc. Almost every country fined them for many obvious reasons. Apple never invented a thing apart from invention of bad habbits which most brands loves to copy such as lack of 3,5MM jack, lack of SD slot ,sealed batteries, no charger in box and no eraphones and many else but hey we can iprove price by 200 because we added LiDar.


            Comparing this phone to the iPhone outside the purview of looks is absolutely silly. Only thing 99% of people would note when they see this is that it duplicated the looks of the iPhone. If you can't see that it's a copycat, no lens could help you!
            Man Yes looks simmilar to apple but its not apple. Since when apple last time used 3,5MM jack, USB-C, or a memory slot??? Maybe if apple copies Gionee applefans could get a really awesome phone and not a china made joke.

              AnonD-844232, 29 Jan 2022The copying (wrong word) I calling it inspiration .. was ... moreNo. This is copying. It's not just "inspiration". And it does do harm. It kills innovation. No innovation is happening when everyone's copying Apple, the least innovative company out there. Apple hasn't introduced a new feature or design to the market since 2007.

              The only innovation that's happening in the market comes in the rare scenario where a company decides to do something slightly different and Apple copies it 2 years later.

                You already know the bezels in those images are a lie. These scam artist smaller Chinese brands always try to pull that bs.

                        I have one of that, 4k+ mah for last 7 years and it's still working fine as a backup phone with several days of standby.

                          AnonD-844232, 29 Jan 2022The copying (wrong word) I calling it inspiration .. was ... moreThis is true. Steve Jobs so badly wanted Apple to be like Sony. Even Steve wearing the same black turtleneck and jeans was an inspiration to him while visiting Sony headquarters in Japan. Apple is very Asian-influenced from the Buddhist teachings Steve had in his youth. The iPod packaging is practically origami.

                          Sony inspired a lot of what Apple eventually became.

                            Gionee are BLU phones sold on Amazon. I'm aware of Gionee living in the Philippines for 5 years. There are dozens and dozens of different brands in Asia. Gionee doesn't have a great reputation at all. They did make a cool flip phone a few years ago with Android on it.
