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.

Apple releases new phone in Q4. There is no rocket science. Otherwise, the whole market is floated by Android.

First thing Autodesk doesn't like the fruit company, Lockheed, GE & Boing would rather not tell anyone but Microsoft, that's why probably EU is sending them back to where they came from, V. Without a CAD software mac OS will remain sidelines, as all other type software using professional are expandable(computer can't do analogue system better than human brain which is 2nd following just to Qbit) with AI. No surprise disney hotstar sellin free, not to mention take over. Number one company who!

I see similar lines likes this often on here in relation to iPhones. It confuses the heck out of me because…well have android phones altered all that much in the past several years and nobody told me 🤷
Yeah sure a few of them can fold now, a feature that whilst cool I suppose, does have its drawbacks. But still Androids as a whole are pretty much the same this year as they were last year and the one before that and so on.
Right? Or again am I missing something here?

Phone market is shrinking, just like laptop market few years ago. People tend to keep their phones longer. Falling trend will continue . Actually one can understand it, if you look at Samsung, Apple making same flagships in last 4-5 years with SAME DESIGN and ONLY incremental updates. So, people are not stupid and market in shrinking in last 3 years.
And 2nd chnge is; cheaper phone brands like Infinix, Tecno emerge and rise, for those who are tired of overpaying for average phone that can be used for their daily tasks.

Your comment sounds like someone bragging about the units sold of toyota car.
Of course everyone buy toyota, because its cheaper than porsche.

"Everyone wants an iPhone"... Lol.. no thanks, closed off and same-ish phones for a good few years now. Why would "everyone" (quite literally your own words) an iPhone?
On another note, do look at the graph again. Q4 is when Apple launches their iPhones. Q1 of a new year when Samsung launches their new devices.
Logic would dictate sales to pick up in those times for each brand and fall for the other subsequently, because the blind cult like buying behavior of brand fanboys and fangirls will inevitably drive sales of the new shiny toys every single launch period.
Or in simpler terms, nothing new to see here and the same story as every Q4 and Q1 respectively.
