Did something happen to rest of the Android market of devices overnight and nobody tell me?..🤷
Anyone else picking up on the rather obvious flaw in logic here? 🤔
I mean, were I an Android customer who liked using Google services and considered iOS a ‘downgrade’, surely I would simply switch to another Android, any other Android, before looking at iOS if those services went away right?

Anonymous, 28 Oct 2022Just one case against millions? iPhones are known to slow d... moreAndroid users can't complain.
1. Their phone is dirt cheap. So they have to give themselves excuses and compromise.
2. Their users use all type of phones... even if they want to complain.. their voices will not be heard.. because no others use their phones nor have the same problem.
3. Their phone broke before it can even lag. Yeah.. some build quality is so bad, and they have to give excuse the slowness or brick is due to malware.
There are millions upon millions of iPhones on the market, any slowdowns and or problems Apple would already be flooded with complains, and people will stop buying. Funny their sales seems to be going up instead right?
Oh right.. Android users will get confused and say its because Apple users are zombies and like to brag about their iPhones.... and only look at the fruit logo.
Fact is iPhone is great, that's why people buy it. Their phone change slowly, it gives customer confidence when they invest in iPhone, it will last them years... and the feature is always there and improve upon.
Unlike Google Android.. or Pixel.. Every year change, next year drop support.. Or like Stadia .. suddenly died. Give customer no confidence.. if it invest its only for 1 or 2 years... then i will need to search for another brand..

Do you realize almost every vendor sells over 100 million of them? Expecting nothing to break at such quantity is just ignorant. And so is believing it's somehow only happening to iPhones.

Anonymous, 28 Oct 2022Apple products are not well known for reliability and durab... moreOk, so your opinion on the motivations for buying a specific product type for hundreds of millions of people you have never met and know absolutely nothing about is somehow the truth is it?
And your ‘friends’ when loosing Google services on their precious Huawei’s saw a move to iOS as the only alternative, really? They didn’t spare a thought for the wide and ever growing plethora of other Android devices available on the market!?!?!
No it was simply “My Huawei can no longer use Google stuff and that dude over their has an iPhone, oh well guess I got no choice but to get an iPhone” was it?
Yeah I’m detecting a ton of BS in what you say, and nothing by way of credibility!

What? 😆 i've owned Apple devices since 2009 and none of them have had problems.
It's exact opposite. Products are very reliable and durable and also long lasting while getting support for many years.

Anonymous, 27 Oct 2022Ipad is best tablet. No doubt.
Apple watch the best watch... moreBest is a relative word. Like beautiful. What someone else may find best/beautiful, other people will not.
For me best means good price also. Doesn't matter if those products come with few compromises. If those aren't big, I can live with them. And Apple products are the worse priced products on the market.
Not all people want to spend all of their money on a fr*aking phone. I get and respect the people that can afford an iPhone (not in rates or with bank loans). But for other people (me included), I prefer to buy cheaper phones and do other things with the rest of my money.

Well for one, there is really nothing much to expect from the mobile industry. 5G seems a slow transaction to the worldwide with LTE or 4G seems decent in speed. for one, maybe a tech like true wireless charging like how out wifi will wow buyers, too bad the xiaomi wireless charge is in the infancy prototype and plus phones nowadays last top max 5 years, so replacement slows down.

FatShady, 27 Oct 2022what do we expect from the largest and richest cult out there?I am no fan of apple. I think it is one of the greediest companies out there after oil companies. But apple products are good quality, have high resale value too. That is why people buy them.

The reason why Apple has a trade in program, their products just won't last. I have seen most with laggy interfaces, overheating issues, broken glass, green or pink lines on screens, life support on power banks, etc.
I have friends who switched from Huawei to IPhones. I asked them why and the only reason they gave me was that they had no choice to downgrade to Apple due to the lack of Google services and that others are using it so they thought it was good.

This suggests that Android smartphones are no longer considered for wealthy people who can buy flagship smartphones. There are more flagship Android smartphone makers in China than in other countries, but their new products are not sold at all.
In a country with a wide gap between the rich and the poor, like China, Android smartphones are only used by relatively poor people, and all the rich want to use iPhones, but the funny thing is that they only like iPhones, even though many Chinese hate the U.S.

[deleted post]They are not the only one's who copy. A lot of technology that were in use in China was copied to work all over the world. Like oil pumps for example. There are discovery channel like series about them as the technology that origin is China

Android have a competition with all types of brands who try to make the next big thing on android. Apple on the other hand dont have any competition with IOS as they are the only one who can use that OS. Also with the chips they compare with flagship chips that are made for Android and have wide range of features so lots of different brands can use these features. Apple on the other hand just makes the feature support for the chip for there next line of devices only and the list isn't even long so they dont need to have supported features for the chip that they dont use for there next lineup
