[deleted post]Outdated how? By not having ridiculous amounts of RAM? By not having massive batteries that still give them terrible run times? Chipsets with less cores than "competition"?
"Android is part of a premium tier ecosystem." What ecosystem? Android is an OS, not an ecosystem. Apple has one, you know, where various very different devices actually work together and not just random devices that happen to have same account login and that's about as far as "ecosystem" goes.

You are in minority with that comment, fact iPhone sales up, Android flagship sales down because people don’t see value on those anymore.
” In fact, Apple managed to extend its lead in the premium segment (over $800) in most global markets. In 2020, Samsung used to have a 29% market share in this category, but that figure now stands at 18% — and it doesn't take a genius to figure out who captured that share. Apple went from 63% to 79% in the same period; the brand utterly dominates this category. It's no wonder that it saw a record-breaking quarter in Q4 2021.”

There was Galaxy Note, the first one, at 5.5" predating iPhone 6 Plus by 2 years... I remember how massive it was back then compared to my Galaxy S2 with just 4.3".

My advice, and I’m serious about this, would be to get help with that, it doesn’t sound like a good way to live.
And with Apple seemingly goring from strength to strength your anger is unfortunately only going to get worse…….

There are various reasons iPhone users are so strongly attached to their Apple phone. The bottom line is that it meets THEIR needs. I carry both Android and Apple phones daily and actually prefer my android phone. However I prefer using my Apple Watch 6 and the rest of the Apple ecosystem. If I had to use only ONE phone it would be my iPhone. (I've used the Galaxy S2,S3,S4,S5, Note 4, Note 9 and still have my Note 10 Plus. I've also used the Gear S2 Classic, Galaxy Watch and still have the Galaxy Watch Active 2. I'm on my first iPhone and Apple Watch). I'm most likely replacing my aging Note 10 Plus later this year with the Galaxy S22 Ultra. I said all this to show I'm not an Apple fan boy yet would still choose the iPhone. Buy what you want and need and stop thinking about Apple.

Maybe just maybe more and more people notice that Apple offers the best value for your money? No matter what you say Apple does great products with great support which no-one else can get even close. When people want to spend money on their gadget wants something better, big majority buy iPhone.
Man all should be true apart the fact Apple does not.
KLitterary whole phone is made in China by Foxconn. Litterary Foxconn sells china made phones with Apple logo on it to Apple and Apple sells it to final customers.
So to be exact apple dont do. They only buy and sell but they dont make.
Also best Android phones are just huge phablets, they gone too far with their screen sizes. For example Android world has nothing to offer compared to iPhone 13 Pro.
Also the huge phablets started with Iphone 6 plus which was at that time largest phone made. And everything is comparable to 13 Pro.

Also iPhone is not overpriced, it offers great value for years and that’s why people buy them. Especially now when people keep longer and longer their phones.
Of course is overpriced. Average chinese labourer salary is 10 Yuans per hour which translates to 1,5 eur or dollars per hour. Average USA Labourer earns from 14 to 22 dollars (18 on average).
If Apple will starts making their phones in USA where labourers earns 10 times more on average every device will be 10 times costlier thus will not cost 800 cheapest model but 8000 a price which Caviar brands sells their high quality material amde products or prices comparable to only premium brand ever existed which was, it is and always will be Vertu.
Said fact.

Because apple charge the most, are the hardest and most expensive devices to repair and they make you buy accessories like chargers and headphones... Its not surprising really

I buy any brand, don’t care about origin of manufacture…my next phone will definitely be chosen as and when, my only restriction being that it must be in a physical store so I can check it out
