                Releasing back to back. Nothing to see here but if Samsung realeses their phones on September as Apple do, it would've stayed the same way for Samsung. Funny how Samsung realeses all their phones by February-march and it still sell well. A54 - 8.8 million sales, A34 - 7.1 million compared to both 14 and 14 plus.

                  It's a classic case of quality over quantity.

                  Android brands cannibalize each other while neglecting the customer at the same time.

                        My point was on the same note, Samsung should make more improvements to their phones, otherwise it will keep losing market share not only to Apple, but also Xiaomi and the rest.

                            Every brands that like to mock Apple should just go and sell more than 200.000.000 phones that cost over $700 too.
                            Otherwise, should remain quiet.

                                Apple's sales results speak for themselves - whatever they're doing works and they became #1 in 2023. Maybe that will be a wake up call for Samsung to up their game, though looking at both companies' products makes me think they're not catering to the same audience.

                                  Anton the papi, 16 Jan 2024Just by trying to insinuate that Samsung has fast charging,... moreA actually wrote "faster", not "fast". See for yourself.
                                  "Faster than Apple" - to be precise. Facts are facts, no matter how lazily you glance over what people write. And guess what - despite terribly slow charging in both cases, both companies are still market leaders. It almost seems as if charging speed was important only to minority - and yet you wonder why they're not improving fast enough :)

                                    justasmile, 16 Jan 2024No surprises here. People with iPhones are bullying people... moreYes we are ‘bullying’ people in to buying into the ecosystem….🤦‍♂️

                                    Seriously the dumbest thing I’ve read on here in weeks, and that is quite the achievement.
                                    Anyone bullied or pressured into buying a specific tech product may want to take a long look in a mirror and then book themselves onto an assertiveness or self confidence course or something.

                                    But as one of those ‘People with iPhones’ you mentioned, I honestly can say I don’t give a flying you what about other people’s tech preferences. I certainly value my own time way too much to waste it trying to bully others into sharing my own preference.

                                    Apple are good at marketing, and their products have plenty of appeal, that’s all that is going on here, go find your big bad bogeymen elsewhere.
