Cause if you haven’t, and something tells me this might indeed be the case, then it implies your are stating a hope rather than a fact, man.
Either way I doubt any iPhone customers are going to either not be aware of the K50 Ultra, or care in the slightest even if they are…er…man!

Apple almost doesn't use any of such off the shelf parts. It's all designed for them specifically, down to things like glass. Everyone keeps saying "uh oh they just renamed Gorilla Glass Victus". No, they haven't. They ordered their own glass composition from Corning. Expecting a custom component design to cost less than off the shelf design is just ridiculous. Taptic Engine, Apple's own design, chipset, Apple's own design, sound system, Apple's own design, display with ridiculous 2000 nits peak brightness, given that NO ONE has such high peak brightness, it has to be custom design. Really, only thing that's probably basically off the shelf components is NAND memory, RAM and battery. And even batteries, they had that weird L shaped batteries in iPhones at one point. That kind of designs cost extra money.
Just because others actually manufacture these components for Apple, this doesn't just magically dismiss Apple's R&D on these components and fact they went out and designed them the way they want them. One may say ordering custom components is unnecessary cost increase, but then again, these things are what makes iPhones unique. Chipset, sound system and taptic engine in particular. They are just things unlike on any other phone.
$1000 iPhone components and manufacturing probably costs Apple around $600. Another $200 for their own R&D costs and $200 the profit margin.

Better off holding out for the iPhone with USB-C. Could happen next year with the iPhone 15 or 16 in 2024 since Europe wants all phones to have USB-C by that year. It's still no guarantee iPhone 15 gets USB-C yet.

Most other android manufacturers use the same open source(linux based)android, they are all using the Playstore and are all offering inferior software support.
Who the hell do you thing cares about usb port transfer speeds outside forums and what superior nonsense do you even mention?
Have you check the estimated manufacturing cost for all the flagships?Iphones(especially Pro series) are among the most expensive devices in terms of cost.
Why do you think Iphones are selling nowadays more even in China if they are that inferior?
