The competition result makes me feel like going back to 2012, when the Chinese brand haven't invade the smartphone market

Especially in Japan which they keep using as poster country for IOS superiority. It will change soon when Japanese govt implement laws to cripple the carriers practice of giving free phones.
And used markets everywhere are flooded with phones. As much as they make fun of android, even used Samsungs or Sony don't even depreciate as much as they used to be.

Yet again, people fighting in the apple vs android "war" prove that they are the dumbest in the tech space. Imagine other people having different needs than yours and choosing a certain product/manufacturer over another. Crazy idea 🫣

But the elderly do need that flagship performance. If you think that the se was anything more than a means to get rid of parts you're wrong...

Not looking so good for iPhone Plus fans. But then again, profit margin on that variant seems significantly higher than on the minis so Apple should still keep them around even if they don't move that many units.

Anonymous, 21 Feb 2024Good to see the awful iPhone SE is not on that list at least.iPhone SE 2022 was an iPhone 13 internally and a great little device for elderly people coming from iPhone 5/6/7/8 and a good price point considering their other devices barrier to entry cost.

DNME Plus, 21 Feb 2024What a overwhelming Monopoly 🤯If only android phone makers could innovate instead of removing features and trying to follow Apple and alienating their userbase🤯

No wonder. Companies remove android hardware features that made the phones stand out, and they start getting restrictive like iOS in later updates and prevent custom rom, so they just go to iOS.

Anyone really surprised? Smartphones have been on the market for over a decade now. iPhone is a proven product why buy anything else? The conversation rate from android to iPhone is also accelerating, people vote with their money not with their online comments.

[deleted post]Also it's not just Apple who sales are down, the whole China smartphone sales are expected to drop "China's handset shipments are forecast to sink in the first quarter, the latest sign of continued weakness in the market and the broader economy.
Taiwan-based research firm Digitimes says China's smartphone shipments will plummet 18.5% in Q1 compared with Q4 2023."
But i understand you only try to focus Apple to make them look worse 😉 but still i would expect somekind of research.

More iphones are manufactured than any other android phone (so more iphone 15s are made than even samsungs s23 or s24 series, if you compare to the likes of some other flagships its a multitude of more devices) so i see it as well this company literally manufactures more devices so sells more and because they sell them on average, higher priced, than any other brand it means the numbers make it look like a far better situation than it really is (some flagships only have maybe 2 million units manufactured, wasnt around 200 million iphone 15 series phone made?)
Also iphones break all the time, my mates current one is absolutely useless lol, stupidly priced to get repaired aswell and i still cannot get the hang of using an iphone to its fullest, things just seem backwards and purposefully awkward like pixel phones, remember my find x5 making my ex partners iphone 13 feel slow and outdated (iphone 13 is newer). Again everyone has a different opinion.
