Anonymous, 03 Feb 2025Cool story. How about profit margins though? I'm wili... moreThat's largely because of revenue from services. Apple's profit margin on devices isn't that much better than the competition, but AppleCare and iCloud print money. Android phone users probably pay for fewer services, and the money would go to Google anyway. The lower post sale revenue was a large part of why Android phones used to get fewer updates by the way.

vodny, 03 Feb 2025I saw a video on youtube from some tech guy who spoke to CE... moreNo. Just no. It costs way more than $10 to make a $100 iPhone. Probably somewhere in the ballpark of $300-500. The cameras (combined), chipset, and screen would all approach $100 each.

Anonymous, 03 Feb 2025The reason is in the first sentence. I'm not surprised... moreI'm sorry, but that's not a reason, if a phone simply has better features according to the person that wants to buy it availability shouldn't be the issue if the bands do work. Either way, there was no need to talk about whether the other options are chinese phones or not.

It's impossible to compare brand that have it's own software and have no competition with the software they use. And then to compare that brand with other brands that all share the same software and are in competition with the same software.
It's basically comparing Rolls Royce with VW

[deleted post]Yes the biggest proof iPhones are overrated is people choose vanilla iPhone over top flagship from others.

Like who cares??? Apple ships their devices to all countries maybe apart North korea, Cuba, Somalia and Vatican.
Xiaomi or Motorola or Honor for example ships maybe to 1/3 of what Apple and sells a lot more devices in those countries than Apple.

That's massive difference. That is all the point of Chinese phones they usually cost half of Samsung phones and are equal or better to Samsung. It is sad to hear for some reason One Plus 12 cost as much as S24 Ultra in your part 🙂

As per usual Apple has the best selling flagship +$1000 phone.
As per usual not a single foldable device is in the top 10 sellers because nobody cares for foldables as all current foldables on the market are brittle, weak and usability nightmares that bring no tangible benefit.

I saw a video on youtube from some tech guy who spoke to CEO in a factory where they assemble iphones how worth is the latest iphone there. He said $10. So they sell in the rest of the world with x100 price increase. We truly live in a crazy world.

thanks to their brand reputation, customer loyalty, and strong customer service etc companies like Samsung and Apple sort of hold a significant advantage...in contrast, these r something many of these Chinese companies lack or are not well known for (no offense intended)
However in my case, I don’t prioritize any of that, I purchase whatever I like, as long as it isn't iOS.
