21 July 2024
Nokia N9 fans took notice, the hot pink colorway drew even more attention. And it's easy to repair too? Unfortunately, there is a catch.

                      Here in our market, the base model A05 (4/64) starts at an equivalent of US$194. The A04 starts at $150 for the base model with price cuts, even if it's supposedly deadstock today.
                      Same thing with the beloved Realme Note 50, that starts at US$200. What's worse is that, this is the lowest price for that phone on discount. No wonder why people are cutting back on smartphones purchases in our region, and so are most non-essential items.

                      Having cheaper options, or the lack of option thereof, is simply market-based.

It's not the SoC where apple lags behind, it's in other things. Three useful rear cameras are only in pro models, whereas others have it in lower segments like sub 700$ or even sub 500$ and at least motorola has auto focus ultrawide at much lower price. Apple also has lower starting storage than other oems at same price and also higher price markups. They also do market segmentation in other ways. And let's not open can of worms called (lack of) features in os.

Even tough it does not seem like it, there are actually more people that read then post here and they are with you, in my opinion. I mean, those other two, that are probably one, nobody can take remotly seriously. But in the same time ignorance is prefered against truth, so i might be wrong. Look at the USA🫣

                                  Spot on here with your comment, Tech Guy, seems like he knows nothing, and the Justasmile and other few here are the same, only bashing and that's it, no real arguments no nothing. Justasmile opinion is not based on facts but on what he likes, you can find him in most comment sections bashing, but Nothing is great...i mean, yeah. Anyway when you read Carol's comments, you realise that this guy or girl, actually knows he's, her stuff. But you know, the truth is, he who speaks the truth is the most hated person in the room. Because well, nobody actually likes the truth.
                                  I am inclined tough to conspire against this justasmile and say that he is one and the same person with the "tech guy" and other here that bashed. They seem way to much alike in their way of thinking, and write pretty much almost always together. They also like eachother to much for no apparent reason. The whole thing is quite wierd and suspect, so i needed to call it out. Because either the chinese use their bash-bot everywhere they can, or this guy has nothing better to do but bashing, or maybe he's payed? Probably not, but anyway, just my two cents on it.

                                    Hopefully you can try a real iphone in the future.
