iPhone may be more necessary in the Chinese market, and the advantages of Android phones outside China have been gradually reduced. As an Android mobile phone user in China, because there is no Google Play in China, every OEM manufacturer builds its own application store.
The system of Android phones purchased through regular channels in China is full of advertisements and various spam notifications, as well as almost unusable push services (there is no unified push service, push services are built by manufacturers such as Huawei and Xiaomi, and each manufacturer has its own push service). These application stores are full of advertisements, and there is almost no supervision of the software provided in the application store (of course, except for those that are unfavorable to the Chinese government...).
The use of system resources by these apps is extremely inefficient. In China, you need a smartphone with at least 12GB-16GB or more RAM to achieve the experience of using iPhone, which also leads to huge standby power consumption. If you use iPhone in China, these problems may not be completely solved, but at least they are much better than Android phones.
Can you imagine that if you want to keep receiving messages from friends, you have to keep an app running in the background and occupy at least 1-2GB of RAM? Not only that, it will also collect various user personal data and upload it to the server.

The problem with iPhone is lack of innovation. I love the Motorola RAZR Plus. I must be one of the minority that went to Android. Surprised the reviewer let it pass them by.

Nice phone. Although it clearly has weaknesses in terms of the screen refresh rate and slow charging, otherwise it is pretty good. It has a better build than most Android phones at the same price and a top quality Samsung screen (apart from refresh rate) that is significantly brighter than every Android flagships and much brighter than most. The speakers are better than most Android flagships too and the overall camera package is very good especially considering the video quality and resolution across all sensors (including the front). Basically, apart from charging and refresh rate it's pretty good. Launch price in Europe is also around the same as the launch price from the android competition (e.g. Samsung S23 and Xiaomi 13 for example) so Apple, in Europe is no longer really more expensive than Android flagships at least in terms of official launch prices. Of course, pricing in many Asian countries is a different story altogether. Personally, think the overall score is a bit harsh given the actual review ad positives mentioned. The criticism 'A lot more expensive than corresponding Android alternatives.' is also not really valid if you base it on launch prices at least in Europe. As mentioned it's basically the same as the launch price for the base flagship models from Samsung and Xiaomi which all launched around the 1000 euro mark

Probably the best worst iPhone to buy at this point. The best in terms of value for money especially with USB-C, but worst because of 6GB of RAM while next year Apple will put 8 on the regular iPhone 16.

Let's spell it out to you. If Apple claims it's native 10-bit, they're liars. Samsung don't make those displays as they're a waste of money. They're 8+2, which looks like 10-bit, especially on a screen size around 6 inches.

Most Android phones now produce colour's that are much more saturated than seen by the human eye. It's very easy to add a bit of saturation afterwards. One the colours are fairly accurate it's the main thing. If the colours are off then it can be tricky to edit a photo to get it to look more true to life

But adding this: I'm shocked how extremely dull and how lifeless and how terribly muted the colours looked on all day time photos. Looking boring would be an understatement! Worst color science in a long, long time and I read every phone review on GsmA.
