Android is better I hate apple but still Huawei did pretty much nothing before Samsung or apple. Besides Huawei came out after the first iPhone. Lol. Huawei is cheap apple. Even their pencil copies then Apple Pencil.

            Do your research guys & not just get baited by Western MSM which is always biased against China.

            The thing is Foxconn a Taiwanese company sent ads to hire workers for 1 month & 2x pay, but when they already in. Suddenly Foxconn conned then for 2 months with less pay thats why many got angry.

                  • Wireless doesn't get in your way & not much latency. Get a dongle?
                  • Better quality and software support of fewer phones is better.
                  • It's called supply and demand. Determines price.

                    Removing as much stuff as possible from the box? Removing the 3.5mm jack to sell your latency ridden TWS solution?
                    Selling devices at sky high prices for no reason besides that feeling of elitism?

                    Bud, the only thing I'll give them credit for is their Bionic chip. But even that's a consolation price considering there is nothing on the platform that requires that much power.

                    And Android in itself has some of the best competition in all of the tech space. Affordable phones, flagship killers, flagships.

                    Just go WIRELESS 🎧. It's less frustrating to not have anything in your way, but if it really matters so much to you try getting a dongle. You're right. I don't get it either but somehow Apple makes the quality products that people are willing to buy. That's why their products cost 📈. There's no significant latency really. That power is real beneficial in the long term... 😳 I mean that's better for software support and stuff. Seems like common sense. Quantity ≠ quality.

                          I read your article it was 275 billion in 2016 also lobby against them hurt there business people love to nitpick. Apple has repeatedly pledged to end human rights abuses, including child labor, poor working and living conditions, forced overtime, and more, at facilities run by Chinese business. To that end, the company holds suppliers to a strict code of conduct, funds regular audits of its partners and releases an annual supplier responsibility report
