On the one hand, I hate Qualcomm, because they refuse to supply security updates to the drivers for their chipsets for more than three or four years, meaning that Android phones can't provide security updates longer than this. Qualcomm could also just open source their drivers, if they don't want to deal with it themselves. But obviously they don't want to do this, because they are engaged in blatent planned obsolesence and want to force people to keep getting new phones, so they can sell more chipsets to the phone manufacturers.
On the other hand, Apple has screwed over other companies and stifled competition many times with its own incredily stupid patents, on things like icons with rounded corners. So it's hard to care if Apple is finally getting screwed in return, by someone else playing their own game.
Apple and Qualcomm deserve each other.

I had the 2019 Air Pods and they sounded average. But I paid for them 160EUR, lol. Sold them and bought Bose Soundsport with 100EUR (at least 2 classes above in sound quality). And you can find very good headphones even at 50-60EUR --> something like the 1More Triple driver, which cost only 60EUR but they were one of the best sound quality Bluetooth headphones that I have ever used.
As for the innovation part, even a fanboy like you should be able to see that Apple is always late to the party. And when is first, usually is because of bad things (removing headphone jack, removing charger from box, introducing the notch, etc.). Even now, their stubbornness and business model (only money orientated) stops them from doing nice things for its customers (for example they still use lightning port on iPhone, they still use very slow charging speeds, they still don't want to put other means of unlocking the iPhone, etc.).

Apple's stuff just works and people love it for that, even if it has some silly limitations here and there. As for AirPods, people exaggerate "how bad" they are. I bought AirPods 2 for use on Windows computers and I love them. Everyone making claims how awful they sound yet they sound perfectly fine. They aren't harsh, bass is well defined and not boomy at all. I've had high end wired earbuds and none were ever capable of reproducing such bass (and I had high end one from Philips, Sennheiser and AKG), meaning I often use them for gaming over the big over the ear headphones just because they are small and lighter. No issues with latency at all either. They were like 130€, but I still like them. They just work and they actually work great considering I use them on Windows 11 exclusively and not on iPhone or Mac...

I'd rather buy a decent Samsung phone and a Windows laptop instead of iPhone and macbook. Even airpods aren't good. Sony Bose Sennheiser Jabra JBL are miles better especially if you listen to music.

Problem is when you try to show bad side of Apple, fanboys say you are a hater, is not true, you don't know what you are talking about, etc. Because Apple fanboys are the worst.
Of course, everybody likes their purchase and will try to defend it. But, defending it blindly, just because is your favorite company, is not that smart. Talking in general, of course.
And I think that is one of the reason Apple fanboys are so disliked in here. They think they are too perfect and Apple devices are the best. While in reality, that is not the case.

Just shift to Moto Edge + 2022. You won't find any issues on TMobile/Verizon. There is ZTE Axon 40 Ultra as well. No need for such high priced devices. If you don't have budget, go for S21 FE. You are in land of snapdragon.

Apple is very non innovative company.
It buys dispaly from that company, speaker from this, hepatitis from one, battery from another, modem from him, sensor from her.
Than this greedy company shout "innovation"
It doesn't want to provide features. Yet with help of some YouTube reviewers this company get all types of hypes and stars.
Those reviewers are surely iZombie. And gsmarena will not allow this comment of mine to be posted because I am accurately calling them iZombie. Do you know why? Because there are iZombies in gsmarena team too. They can't take the word. Theu are some kind of child.

Technology is ready for everyone else who use it but for Apple it's not ready cause they need to pay patent fees so they wait for the right moment when they can bypass them and then the technology is ready for them to use it
