24 December 2022
The only real loss for Apple in 2022 was that it couldn't keep up with demand.

I consider iphone 14 pro max is a loser. Because they don't have it in stocks. Thank you and merry christmas.

    What happened to the iPhone SE 2022? Did the writer forget about it or couldn't decide whether it was a winner or loser?

      Gsmarena forgot to mention how the iPads are conveniently getting less and less features for then price, and becoming more difficult to use, within a single generation.

        100% the iPhone 14 pro GPU is just a 13PM. Slightly better cpu, same screen and slightly worse battery. 13 pm the winner

                I guess everyone is a loser. Samsung sucks. Apple sucks. Chinese brands suck. Nobody is a winner. They're all trash including the fans defending or insulting a side.

                      As long as iPhone do not use the USB-C, at least, they all are loser. It is better dream to have USB-C and "NFC for all devices/cards" in iPhone.

                        Anonymous, 24 Dec 2022iPad as a winner, don‘t know if that‘s right. The iPad Pro ... moreAccounting for the overall price increases in some countries this year then I probably disagree with some of what you said. The iPad 10, despite its flaws, would be a good purchase though not a great one - Apple went a little too far in omitting some features

                        Agree with the iPad Air being a sensible purchase

                        iPad Pro could use a design refresh. It's already dated.

                        However do keep in mind the M1 and M2s in iPads are slower than a MacBook despite whatever benchmark tells you. Storage speed would be much slower (not sure about certain iPad Pro variants), much easier to thermal throttle, etc.) And yes iPad OS has too many limitations and wouldn't replace a Mac

                                Half of the winners are losers in disguise. The iPhone Pro and Pro Max are losers. Too expensive, atleast in Europe, compared to the rest, even the version with measly 128 GB memory is way too expensive. Same for the Watch Ultra, it has slightly better battery life than the terrible normal Apple Watch but it's still not very good, and it's way too expensive for any reasonable person to buy. M2? It either overheats, or throttles heavily. Which is hilarious, given that the power draw is so low, it should be cooled so easily but that would require a good product design..

                                    "iPad is just better than any other tablet on the market. It can run rings around Android slates for multitasking and performance, and is better to use and longer-lasting than any Windows hybrid device out there. "

                                    This is so false. Ipads are still very limited in features, so it all comes down a certain use cases. There are some where ipad is doing great, but there are also many where Android or windows are unbeatable.

                                      Please educate us who would waste such ammount of money.

                                      For me a really good apple phone needs just a few things.
                                      1. Android OS without any garbage bloatware UI. Qualcomm CPU and GPU which does not throttling like chips by TSMC on heavy usage and at least 18GB ram for smooth experience.
                                      2. 200W and above charging speeds and USB-C charger plus cable in the box
                                      3. At least 200 Mpix camera back ideal 3 of them, 12 Mpix is nothing but garbage
                                      4. Micro SD slot expansion
                                      5. Jack which many people bragging for
                                      6. Shapphire screen and a titanium alloy body
                                      7. Wireless earphones included in box
                                      8. No battery switch always on like in every even brand new device for fake endurance of a battery.
                                      9. Easy to repair phone for everyone if something happens and a cheaper spare parts.
                                      10. Because Apple is made for china price should not cross the price of ZTE Axton 40 Aerospace edition which is also chinese and a lot better flagship wiht a lot better and premium features compared to apple line. Thus 14 pro max or 15 pro max should cost not more than 800 othervise its just a garbage as usually.

                                      With all above Apple should be a win win for anyone. Othervise is a loss loss and nothing more, nothing less.

                                        $2000 for a laptop that can't run any game because nobody supports macos
                                        For that price you can get a pc with one of the best if not the best graphics cards out there
