Here lies the beloved Lightning port - it powered many devices over its decade long lifespan, but it's time to go as the era of USB-C is undeniably here.

Price? Depending on region. In US rog 2 definitely costed more than iphone 12.

Of course they're not obsessed because they can replace their android handsets after 3 years or after their contract with the carrier is finished. Black markets have a lot of refurbished android smartphones that are being sold with a CARRIER LOCKED.
        2. I don't see any new players entering the market. And if they do exist. They're not available here in my country.
        3. So how come android is still stuck on 512GB to 1TB? Where's the 2TB or higher? How come google killed stadia? Daydream VR? Even the smartphones with microSD card slot is becoming hard to get! You think all android smartphones are utilizing 120hz refresh rate? And I'm not even talking about the camera. Yet you mentioned telephoto as if its an important discussion.

        Good day to you as well.

I tried S22 ultra and its decent. But the choice is limited and those phones can't keep up with time which iphones do in general.
              Why do apple sells that many phones with such exorbitant price?
