Alex, 16 hours agoSo true, same childish remarks every time. Apple products ... moreYeah exactly iPhone tops all

    Alex, 16 hours agoSo true, same childish remarks every time. Apple products ... moreWell, i am not saying that apple device aren't any good, for a perticular kind of people, they are, but better then android? To compare apple with xiaomi and say is better is easy, as you most probably head cheap xiaomis while buying expensive apples. Compare it tough with a google pixel, a nothing phone or any other brand that are vanilla android and not ads infested devices, and that do not costs 200$, and let's see how they really compare. If a user calls himself tech savy but is as trchy as my grandma and can't do a proaper copy paste, then yeah, apple is the product for them. But if the user needs the bare minimum functions of a real pc like copy paste, multitasking, automations, and personalization, and this is only scratching the surface, then android is better in any way in comparison to ios. Or let's put this even better, IOS is a dumbphone OS in comoarison to android, and that's a fact.
    Now, is there a need for all this "comments" about what is better? Probably not, but people just don't want to acknowlege the truth: IOS is more for people that do not know how to turn on/off their bluetooth, wifi, hotspot, location, or change their ringtones or open an app drawer, do not know the words robocopy xcopy, copy and paste, and have no idea what to do with their phone when connecting it to their computer and so on, and android is for people that know all this basics and way more then just that. People that want to fiddle with the system, to change it's apparence or uninstall core apps to see what happens. People that need functions, and need to make the system to work as they want and please, that works for them and not the other way arround, as in IOS. When people understand that this fight might change into something more educational, but well, it'll probably never change.
    For me, the only reason i do not like apple, is not their devices, is them, i do not hate their product, i just can't stand them and their monopolic tendencies and destruction of innovation and greed. If the company would be one like fairphone, I'd definitely recommend IOS to people with a vague knowledge of tech, or people who get their ears caught in more complex systems, for their own sake. But the way apple is, i just won't and can't recomand their lackluster devices for the prices they ask.

        Apple products are better, moved with entire family from Xiaomi to Iphones...best decision ever.

          Ouifuf, 31 Jan 2025Crazy how so many people buy brands rather than products people from the west, worship apple

            One android phone sale does not equal one iPhone sale. Apple commands something like 85-90% of all high end smartphone revenue globally.

                    enough gsma with this this kind of news ... it will hurt android user feelings ....

                      potato4k, 31 Jan 2025Oh look, best quarter ever. Remember those tech analysts... moreThis does not mean that iphone 16 sells great...has nothing to do with it actually, they did not reach yet the market saturation, that's about it.

                        Kara Murat, 31 Jan 2025Yes because Apple does not sell a smartphone for $150!! and... moreYou mean they are selling the most devices in the upper end of the spectrum, 2.nd place worldwide in smartphones sale is just normal, as there are only two relevant somartphones OS's on the maket as of today, while android is far away with a market share of more then 70℅ of smartphones sold in 2024.

                          I think we need first to verify what they mean by this number!
                          1. Is it the total number of individual people who own & use an Apple product?
                          1b As above but is that number the historic total of people who have used Apple products since the company's foundation?
                          2. OR, Is this the total sales figure historically of units manufactured under Apple's name (but hey, they stole it from the Beatles record label title!)
                          3. Or is it the sales figure of units this past year?

                          Whatever it is I personally reproach whoever published this article for not SAYING, amen.

                                vik457, 31 Jan 2025Yeah way too many iphone sales in the high endExactly. So much competition that would probably suit customers better than just 1 phone from 1 brand

                                  Yes because Apple does not sell a smartphone for $150!! and yet it is number 2 worldwide in terms of smartphone sales and number 1 in turnover because Samsung sells a lot of low-budget and mid-budget phones, Samsung sells very few smartphones for $1000 unlike Apple!!

                                    TechFa, 31 Jan 2025Yet Apple isn't number 1 manufacturer? Apple is definitely number 1 by a large margin for premium phones. Apple often beat Samsung on the quarter where new iPhones launch. But Samsung has alot of mid/low end phones to move volumes. If you just compare iPhone pro vs S series the different is quite stark.

                                      Yet Apple isn't number 1 manufacturer?
