SShock, 08 Aug 2022"Nothing"... nevermind the industry leading softw... moreSo at the end it actually does not work seemesly as you claim, because it needs a closed locked enviroment to do so. If you think that's good, well.... anyway, don't talk about android while most certenly, you never used one, you might have some good points, but are still quite biased. A thing that makes you think superior of something that's inferior in a lot of ways. Not seeing the benefit of an opened enviroment against a closed one, is quite something typical to apple fans, that can't accept the fact that something is better then apple. IOS might have it's strenghts (tough for me is hard to find one as i do not find it ok to give up your private life and money for a "seemless" experience), but android has also a lot of them, while windows with it's here and there bugs is still net superior to mac, especially in an enterprise enviroment where things need to be done quick and without workarounds, remotly or via VPN. So yeah, you like your apples... at the end my business is not quite to fight apple fans on their ground. Peace

Or maybe an investigation? What evidence are you talking about? Because just blurting out something is happening doesn't make it right. It just sounds like an old man yelling at a cloud. Obviously, it also doesn't mean that it isn't happening as we speak, but if there are no form of hard evidence whatsoever officially, then the claims are moot.

Anonymous, 08 Aug 2022Wow, so now also dictating how people's minds work? Pe... moreDude, I hope you do realize that oftentimes people are led to buy and consume products that might not align with their needs. Of course this happens in the smartphone market. This isn't something like vaccine conspiracy theories, with absolute zero proof behind them. Here there is some evidence that someone is manipulating the market to allow Apple to gain a supermajority in rich countries while giving Samsung and Pixel the rest for "geeks" and blocking any other competition. It really doesn't feel to me like the smartphone market is a free market. At least not in the US.

If you think everyone is after banks directly you're highly mistaken. Why deal with higher security systems when you can mug hundreds of thousands of clueless users who scream security isn't a thing on smartphones lol

People not having preferences LOL what kind of mental gymnastics are you doing? It's as if you haven't heard of the term "marketing" or "brand recognition". The thing that Samsung and Chinese companies that "don't know" what to do is literally marketing. How did OnePlus get from a company that no one cares into something that's known and loved (well not these days at least)? Oh yeah, because Carl Pei was doing "marketing". Now he's also doing the same thing with Nothing. Would you call that market manipulation? You guys are always delusional in every single way a successful company does making up all these weird conspiracies just because the one you're in favor of doesn't have the same success as that company. Of course, I don't reject the idea of them doing such a thing - or any company really, but are you sure that the companies you support don't do it? Weird how human minds work sometimes.

It's all how you use your phone and how you take care of it. Also in mass production you can get defected product even from apple as they dont test every single device that leaves the factory as they only take samples from like 10 out of 1000 phones to make the test on while 990 of them wont go trough all the testing. Also these 10 phones that go testing wont be sold

SShock, 08 Aug 2022It's not placebo. I literally mention micro gaps betwe... moreSure sure you feel the caps between glass and chassis. Compare Iphone X vs Redmi note 5 Pro that are close to the same design. Redmi is only bigger but looks pretty much the same as iphone x.
I would bet that a blind person who have good finger sensitivity would not make difference in build quality to say one is more premium then the other. Even paint type like matte or gloss make a lot of difference on what you feel with your fingers. Matte can feel like plastic while gloss can feel like glass.
And there have being made test to proof placebo effects with a lot of product.
There was some cake test where on the street was asked people does the cake taste good while had something like 50 euro price tag on the cake. And all said it taste good. Then these same people got a taste of other cake with price tag of 5 euro and they said it didnt taste that good while the cheaper cake was exactly the same cake.
All these premium brands with there flagships are using placebo effect on people to fool them and most will get fooled by it too. As it's human nature

Also when you want security then you would not go with apple and would go with Bittium that have the main goal as security.

Samsung and Chinese brands are all on Android so they have a competition with 1000 different models per year.
Apple have no competition with other brands cause there are no other brand other then Apple that is allowed to use IOS on there devices. With apple it's all cause of one genius who was good at marketing and a team who build there own ecosystem with there own specific operation system that only they use.

It's just your placebo effect with high price that make you feel it's premium. If you would be a blind person then you would not much make difference in premium 1000 euro phone or something 300 euro phone on hand feeling the quality of materials.
