Not surprising to me. They're not even trying to compete. High-end Qcomm devices have been overpriced for multiple generations now. For example Sony Xperia 5 V, Samsung Galaxy S23 and Xiaomi 13 all cost more than a base iPhone 14. Low to mid range Qcomm SoC's have stagnated and are segmented in such a way that they're barely faster than chips from 4 years ago, which forces / pushes you to look at their more premium if you want any real gains.

Mediatek & Exynos have terrible history with regard to kernel source and just communication with open source communities in general. Most custom roms prefer Qcomm and mesa only provides decent stable drivers for Adreno (required for many sideloaded apps for optimal performance).

So there's basically no competition besides Qcomm in android world. They are essentially competing with themselves.

no one was ever saying "i love apple", apple selling better than everyone else is the topic of the article lmao.
why do haters always revert to putting words in other people's mouths when you are out of arguments wth

You want an Apple bubble where everything is "I love Apple!". This is not such a place.

Quote from: RobertJasiek on February 23, 2024, 18:01:15Your most prominent contribution to those threads is criticising the existence of other discussants.

when they start discussing themselves and their ego instead of an article, yes lmao

Quote from: RobertJasiek on February 23, 2024, 18:01:15Might be you yourself to write in every thread with Apple...!

i'd prefer to read opinions from people owning or interested in the ecosystem, not hater trolls like yourself

Might be you yourself to write in every thread with Apple...!

Your most prominent contribution to those threads is criticising the existence of other discussants. The reality is hard: yours is not the only opinion in the world.

(You have overlooked that I am almost uninterested in threads about Apple watches or AR/VR products because such products I would never buy.)

2) Not every criticism or negative feeling is hatred.
3) Apple determined actions are the cause for quite a few people's determined reactions.
4) Feelings may be irrational while criticism can be rational or irrational.

Agreed, people's hate for Apple is irrational and it's making every single of their comments look like special olympics prize nominee. But data in this article clearly shows that the moment they earn some cash they are getting an iPhone.
