The exynos effect...

    Well, honestly, IDC.

        King ****!

          [deleted post]No. The discounts are a result of the slump. You think Apple just randomly decided to discount their phones? The discount is a reaction. Not an action. It hasn't even been a week. You write as if they've been discounted for a month or two.

          Apple is losing ground to Huawei in China. Most apple haters will celebrate, but for some reason you're looking for ways to twist the truth. Get your back off the wall and enjoy the party.

            So sad Samcung only rely their entry- mid range galaxy A series sales in order for them to stay relevant in smartphone market. Flagship S series ( since s20) not doing well and wont able to break record the galaxy galaxy S3 record 70 million.

            Xiaomi without the flagship budjet poco line up ,sure they will die sooner.

                Sadly they are the only phonemaker with a stylus and a desktop mode, so I'm stuck with them for the foreseeable future

                    IDC figures seems more believable than Canalys.

                      Samsung makes terrible value phones with the a35 coming with an outdated processor, and overpriced Xioami now, and the affordable Android market is shrinking.

                        What is the use of providing 6-7 years software support when you are going to change the device every year?

                            S7 Edge : android 6 to 8
                            S23: android 13 to 17

                            S7 Edge: 25 million units
                            S23: less than 9 million units

                            The iphonezation is going so well. Keep going !!!

                                It shows the low end are shifting to Transion while the higher end remains on Apple.

                                  Expect this to completely 180 last year. Every time a company starts threatening Samsung, they start pumping up the R&D budget lol

                                    DarlingYext, 17 Jan 2024The start of a new era!It means that 20% of the market is iOS, more than 70% is Android and some percent the rest. So, which era?

                                      Even though Apple is behind the competition, I can't say this is a cool feat. Congrats Apple! Your iPhone 13 Pro is YOUR best phone. OnePlus 12 takes best phone.

                                        The start of a new era!
