Weekly poll results: it's a bad start for the iPhone 16 series as people look for alternatives

22 September 2024
The Pro Max may have gotten too big and the Plus just never got popular. The iPhone 16 Pro and the vanilla 16 have some positives, though.

        Bad start? Hate all you want. Let's talk once the sales figure is final. And yes, after all this launch, Samsung A55 will be your top daily interest again. GSMArena, you can do better.

              This phone is for those who have FOMO every time a new model comes out.

              It doesn't matter what each model is, they will buy it.

              You know what they say about fools and their money.....

                Why does every GSMArena comments section of articles like this have to be filled with armchair experts and Chinese brand fanboys who like to think they're saints because they don't buy from *insert extremely popular American and Korean company brand here*?

                  Anonymous, 22 Sep 2024Realme is selling D7300 with ufs 3.1 storage for INR 15000 ... moreI'll tell you how they justify.
                  People purchased apps, games, music, content on Apple store and when you move to Android, all of it is wasted as its not DRM free entirely.
                  Plus, they're habitual to this OS and lifestyle, and they don't want a new learning curve in form on Android. (although to be honest, nothing to learn that a Google search can't answer).
                  Some are still sold on the privacy myth, which in actual life is like Apple saying, "Don't worry, all your secrets are safe with me,... and my country's govt,... and maybe the 5 eyes governments".

                  I'll be honest, I was a Symbian loyalist, so I chose Nokia till the end when USA destroyed it by sending a director with an order. And it was actually good privacy wise.
                  So, I empathise with iOS fans, although I'm all Android now.

                    Why do I have a hunch that many who voted "I'm moving to Android" are already on Android since ages?
                    And just wanted to dominate the poll with an anti-Apple opinion?


                    And GSMArena knows about this I guess, that's why they said "Some are moving to Android", when numbers say it is a huge majority of voters.

                      60hz is unacceptabl as well as sluggish charging speed and outrageous prices to fix them. Apple will sell a coloured shit with logo stamped on it. Why? Because customers from their most important market, USA, just get an iPhone as their new phone. They don't care. Experience is what matters to them, not specs. 95% people know nothing about phones.

                              However, the experience is just way more refined with iPhone. The issue with Android phones now is that the experience is never as refined as iPhones. One exception was OnePlus. But they're just another Oppo skin now.
                              I own a OnePlus 7 Pro since 2019, and plan on getting the 16 pro.
                              I hold onto my phones for 5 - 6 years now. So, Apple's software support is also a factor.

                                  Apple still gets good sales even if most people here know it's a bad deal.

                                    16 Pro has perfect screen size+aspect and amazing performance. Too bad it has iOS and 5x zoom and 8 gigs of RAM ;(

                                        potato4k, 22 Sep 2024LOL. Have you actually seen realme and vivo phones? They ar... moreRealme is selling D7300 with ufs 3.1 storage for INR 15000 (180 USD) in India. My friends relatives and family use realme. I personally use Realme GT 6T, got it for 29000 (USD 350). It has a Snap 7+ Gen 3, which is a shade under 8 Gen 2 and more powerful than 8+ Gen 1, with super fast UFS 4.0 storage(apps launch as if they were in memory). 5500Mah with 120W charging (charges in less than 20 mins), 1.5K LTPO(actually goes down to 1hz) OLED.
                                        And the software Realme UI which is nothing but Color OS (one of the more refined Android skins u can get), the animations are so slick and smooth. How TF can anyone justify iPhone prices, sure they might be better in the camera department, but are they better enough to justify being twice or thrice as expensive? Not to mention they lag behind my phone when it comes to things like battery life, charging speed, display (in case of non pro iPhones).
