            Even rog overheated without the fan.

            I do not see you complain when xiaomi phones shut down same benchmark during first round.

            Did you like to watch video the guy said 1v could record over 4h of 4K@60 in sequence on hot day? Thermal issues would never allow this.
            Show me other phones that can do same, without turning 60fps into 45 in secret.

                Anders, 23 Sep 2023As I said in a previous article about the new crappy Redmi ... moreUsing your logic, the correct conclusion would be : buying a Samsung phone over iPhone.

                Whats the point of buying iPhone, if many "new" features has always been old features from Samsung/Android, such as Amoled display, Always on Display, USB-C, Customization Lock screen, Live text, Periscope camera, Contact Poster, Punch hole screen, fast transfer speed using USB, customize app icon, wireless charging, picture in picture playback, titanium frame etc. (Too many go search by yourself)

                It's more easy to guess whats future "new" features on iPhone than Samsung, iPhone is like a rebranded Samsung phone, there is no point buying it.

                Here are the list of next "new" features in iPhone/iPad:
                -3rd party app store (soon, forced by EU regulator)
                -RCS in imessage (soon, forced by EU regulator)
                -foldable iphone
                -high speed charging
                -true multitasking
                -proper file manager
                -proper multiple user account
                -proper home screen customation
                -super zoom in camera app
                -smaller punch/pill shaped display or even underdisplay camera
                -more smaller bezel display
                -etc.

                I am trying to be neutral here, but you are just making wrong conclusion.

                  It has a better camera than iPhone 13 Pro, from 2 years before, at a lower price - I guess that 48 Mpx camera + notch removal is a good selling point

                    Moki, 23 Sep 2023You need to keep in mind. China has 1.5 BILLION people. Jus... moreYou are correct on the status symbol thing. MOST (aka NOT ALL OF THEM) top end phone users of any brand are usually people who cannot afford them.

                    Can safely bet that most also do not view carrier contracts or financing as debt when it fact it is.

                        Zendroid, 23 Sep 2023So it was just a lie about iPhone 15 banned in China? The ban was limited to mostly government officials.

Just because they don't hang on GSMArena, they have friends that fiddle with phones and they are the ones recommending things, things like "hold out for a bit longer till Apple releases iPhone with USB-C". And those people are buying them now.

                                      Haven't sold a single one here in my US store yet. Shocking as it sounds

                                        ”Wait times in India for Apple’s latest 15 Pro and Pro Max models, that go on sale Friday, are stretching up to late October, mirroring trends seen in China and the U.S.

                                        Counterpoint estimated the models will account for 25% of overall iPhone 15 shipments in India in the fourth quarter, a 4% increase from what the previous generation top-range models accounted for a year earlier.

                                        “The premium smartphone market in India has climbed tremendously from 0.8% of the total market in 2019 to 6.1% in the first half of 2023 and this is largely attributed to Apple’s success,” Nabila Popal, a research director at market intelligence firm IDC, said.

                                        Apple is the largest player in the segment for smartphones priced over $800 in India, with a 67% share in the first half, according to IDC data.”
