SShock, 07 Oct 2022And this is the reason why I'm "defending Apple&q... moreEveryone is entitled to like or dislike whatever they want.
Is true also, that Android users do not defend so fiercely their brands, as Apple users do.
And that is one of the big reasons why Apple users are mocked, laughed about and called names. And in some ways they deserve it. They are too deeply "in love" with a company, who is just this, a company doing business. Who doesn't care about them, just how to make more money. A company, who being more successful and having more successful products, gets the wrong idea that actually cares about its users.
I had tried just about every Android phone brand out there (LG, Nokia, HTC, Sony, Motorola, Samsung, Pixel, Chinese brands, etc.). You won't see me defending any of them. For me they were just products that I wanted to try out at some point. The same like I tried the iPhones. I don't afiliate with any brand, even though I admit, I liked some more than others. But, I will not defend them like my life depends on it, lol.

1. You claim that Apple "are no more or less greedy than the others", they actually are greedier as they get to overcharge more than the competition does.
2. You downplay how greed plays into their pricing decisions when it clearly is a huge part of it.
3. You say "the rest don't have the guts to try it" but Apple does things not out of "having guts". They do whatever they want only because of the kind of fan base they have, the kind of users that feel like it's their personal achievement when Apple profits excessively from them.

AnonD-1066415, 07 Oct 2022Sure, that is why in my country (European country), Pixel 7... moreNo more Apple for the rest of world. Android will evolve itself to a next level in next three years. Especially Mediatek and Qualcomm. I am excited for 3nm and 2nm chipset for better power efficiency. 5000 mah should go on for two days atleast. That's top priority.

Sounds illogical that A16 costs 2.4x as much as the A15 when it's only 1 billion more transistors (6.67% more) and N4 is still a 5nm node that would be an insane mark up. N4 is 6% denser than N5 so the size would be roughly the same size/chips per wafer
