      There is no company truly out for just the betterment of its users.
      I don’t care what people or companies say….. without being some for of profit for them , they wouldn’t be in the market.

      They don’t care about the individual, they care about numbers , big numbers , nothing else

        The 🍎 hate on this site is ridiculous yet hilarious…. Here’s mine….oh yeah I once heard when you buy direct from apple they actually request the postal service worker (see not sexist) punches you and gives you a dead arm 😳 or a kick to the plums ( which is the one I prefer to be honest) I am a sucker for that personal touch ☺️ Makes me want to bulk buy apple products

          DMX, 01 Apr 2022Apple is the trendsetter, let there be no doubt!True, unfortunately majority cases are driven by greed on apple's part.

            There is already a simple and cheap way to fix phones: THE HAMMER!

              DMX, 01 Apr 2022Apple is the trendsetter, let there be no doubt!True, Apple is the coporation that constantly tries to find new ways to fudge consumers over and Samsung is the glorious savoir, constantly raising the bar for what constitutes "flagship".

                1st April joke. Samsung parts were already widely available compared to iphone (?)

                  DMX, 01 Apr 2022Apple is the trendsetter, let there be no doubt!On what? On the "Courage" part? Apple is behind every top Android OEM.

                    DMX, 01 Apr 2022Apple is the trendsetter, let there be no doubt!It is, but I dare to say they lead with negative trends like removing chargers from the box, removing headphone jacks, etc. Samsung leads in good directions with adding features since about 2010. Apple always copies them eventually. That being said, Samsung is always copying Apple in those negative trends, too.

                        sa11oum, 01 Apr 2022This company just wants to copy Apple without even thinking... moresamsung spare parts are only available for authorised technicians and parts vendors not to the end user,when you buy such a parts from a third party seller the part has alredy more pricy due to a vendor and sellers profits,probably samsungs profit will be smaller and the part will be cheaper

                          Sounds too good to be true... So I'll wait few days until it's no longer 1st April before trust it :p

                            Shamsung copying apple yet again. 🤣

                              This company just wants to copy Apple without even thinking. What is the point of this? Their spare parts are already widely available everywhere. Apple only did it because theirs weren't. lol

                                Can they also launch a "self insert 3.5mm jack" program? Or "self upgrade by adding 3.5mm jack" program? One that allows purchase of updated phone casing with a pre-drilled hole, a new motherboard with 3.5mm jack and upgrading only necessary parts to add this nifty little feature?

                                I wouldn't mind if they add a 2.5mm jack instead of 3.5mm jack, either.

                                  DMX, 01 Apr 2022Apple is the trendsetter, let there be no doubt!Only thing I like is true wireless earbuds. Other trends are bad.

                                    DMX, 01 Apr 2022Apple is the trendsetter, let there be no doubt!Actually, compared to Apple, Samsung had spare parts on the market for years and years. Atleast in Europe it has been easy to find original spare parts for Samsung. Idoc.eu for example.
