      Iphones have been like this for years,trying to catch up Android phones in features.

      Yet as we see in this article, people in flagships still prefer buying iphones.

      Iphones still have the best video on the market, they still have one of the best point and click cameras(with no shutter lag), they still have the better ecosystem, they still have the better experience in social media apps etc, they still have the more optimized games in general.

      I am an Android user, but cant deny how good Apple is in some areas, and why most Android companies try to copy her.

                      PureOS, 20 Feb 2024Why Samsung to lower price? Why not Apple? because samsung never dominate the premium segment .The ultra series sale very poor .
                      Globally every each year they only sold within 9~12 milions unit . That is very poor achievement . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_mobile_phones

                        PureOS, 20 Feb 2024No. Iphone is for many people status simbol, and even if Sa... moreNo, people still won't get iPhones if the difference is THAT huge, that was proven back in the S7 Edge days. Everyone considered Apple to be the premium thing and everyone was deterred from buying it. People will still buy the iPhone but it'll be a minority, 20%-ish. 10% being rich people and the other 10% who'll go to any lengths to get an iPhone (such as taking loans or sacrificing other things in life).

                          Anonymous, 20 Feb 2024But samsung has 95-97% marketshare from a phone with price ... morewhos say that.?.. S23 ultra only sold as low 12 million gobally out from total 1140 mil smartphones shipped in 2023.

                          12/ 1140 = very poor sale volume.

                            Well that’s Apple. Ignore the hate, ignore the talk bad and won’t talk bad about another and move on.
                            That’s how Apple is so successful

                                The correct statement would be:

                                "Iphone is becoming the Android wannabe. Anyone can guess the next new feature on new iphone only by seeing the old features on Android phone especially from Samsung.

                                If i were to choose phone with OLED screen, 120hz screen, and priscope lens, wireless charging features, and other features, i choose to buy Android instead. Because i dont see any reason to buy iphone, if the regular Android already has those features years before."

                                Thats how you make correct statement 👍

                                      iphone is the phone that everyone want but cannot have right away. thats why its in their list. as soon they have the money they will buy it. and once they have it the want us gone and they tend to settle whatever their money can afford.
                                      since android is cheaper, its almost the first phone for the masses, and as soon as these massess have a decent amount of money they will proceed to iPhone to experience the phone.

                                        I've only ever used android my whole life. But that will probably change when I eventually replace my current phone.

                                        Android manufacturers have turned themselves into wannabe iPhones. Removing the headphone jack, microSD support, FM radio, IR blaster, etc.

                                        If I'm going to have to buy a phone that doesn't have all those things, it's going to be an actual iPhone. Not a wannabe iPhone.

                                        Samsung, Xiaomi, BBK, Lenovo etc are going to have to swallow their pride and realise they do not have the brand prestige of Apple. Or this is just going to get worse. Apple has around 80% of the market share for under 30s in the USA. And now this is happening in Europe too. The future isn't bright for android manufacturers.
