Anonymous, 24 Dec 2023Winner: Apple , 15 pro max is most sold phone on Earth rig... moreIt might be the most sold Apple product in history, but way far from the most sold phone on Earth. It would make perfect sense, if you're from a country where people fight about green vs blue bubbles.
Even the Note7 shellphone and the rather unpopular Nokia 8 probably had more sales than the 15 Pro Max

Biggest Loser: iPhone 15 Pro Max back glass issue on JerryRigEverything's and Phone Repair Guru's unit (North American Version Only, where the International Hybrid Dual SIM & E-SIM Version weirdly didn't suffered from these issues).
Biggest Loser 2: The "Apple Tax" In 2023, killing the purpose of advancement for a fraction of a price.

I would say the regular iPhone 15 is a loser here - A fixed 60Hz display in 2023 on a high-end phone is just.. no.

Calling the 15 pros a winner after all the issues is interesting to say the least. The base 15s were great though, those should've been the winners imo. Also ios 17.0 should've been a loser, it destroyed so many phones.

rosesarerosie, 24 Dec 2023Loser: the walletsI never paid more than 500EUR for my iPhones. I always buy them second hand from specialized shops with 12 months warranty.
The good part about iPhones is that they work almost the same as in day 1. Even after 3-5 years. The only thing I need to change (sometimes) is the battery. As long as the iPhone has more than 90% battery health, is perfect.
Another good part about iPhones (at least where I live, in Europe) is that they are everywhere. So, second market is full of them, and there are plenty of choices.
I never buy new iPhones. Because I don't need to. 3-5 years old models are perfectly usable today (something like iPhone 11 Pro Max/11 Pro, iPhone 12 are perfect phones for today standards; and they cost 300-400EUR in second hand markets).

justasmile, 24 Dec 2023Winner: Tim
Loser: Consumer Neah. You're just seeing things from your perspective.
I mean I don't know about Tim money or whatever, but for consumer part I think you are wrong. There are many satisfied iPhone users.
Will you buy a product from a company (car, TV, kitchen appliances, etc.) that was bad for you, over and over again? I certainly wouldn't.
If iPhones will be as bad as Android phone users think they are, very few people will buy them.

Winner: Apple , 15 pro max is most sold phone on Earth right now despite the price tag over $2000 for base 256GB in some markets.
Losers: clients, nothing interesting or never seen before from other. Ugly design, hot SoC they needed to cap, same cam issues since iphone 11.
* Advice. If you want iphone but cant afford, no need to have crapmi note. There are tons of better options for same €500.
