  • iPhone dominates premium smartphone market with 62% of sales in Q1 2022

    The bar for “premium” phone is rather low. $400 is middle range at best.

    “Premium” android phones are snake oil. Can’t believe people fall for their crap. Talk about sheep. 
    Then you haven't been paying attention for literally years. 

    Premium Android phones (and the 'ultra premium' models which Apple does not have btw) equalled and surpassed the iPhone in key areas long ago.

    And yes, I'm talking build quality, materials, finish etc as well as specifications, features software... 

    There is nothing 'crap' about premium Android phones, but I suppose you've never even held one. 




    If that would be the case they would sell o a lot more 😁 it’s exact opposite, Apple surpassed Android phones in key areas and they do it every year and iPhone is getting more and more popular. Sametime google haven’t been able to fix anything what always been wrong with Android.
    Just name a few areas and we'll see how far you get. Apple has been playing catch up in some key areas (most notably camera and battery tech) over the last few years.

    Sales figures have little to do with anything.

    How many $2,000 iPhones has Apple brought to market?

    'Google' isn't 'Android' in the sense you seem to think it is and if you think it is you are very mistaken. The top Android vendors don't simply 'skin' Android. They put a LOT of resources into their own technologies and they sometimes end up in the general Android release.

    Is the “lot of resources into their own technology” including the force AD in Samsung phone?

  • US lawmakers call for universal charging standard - but not necessarily for USB-C

    viclauyycviclauyyc
    How about passing a law that requires company to sell charger and cable  separately but the charger must be available to purchase along with the product. So consumer have a choice to opt out the charger. Pretty much just like what apple is doing. 

    We don’t have a problem with too many standards. We have problems with the manufactures keep give us the same charger and cable.

  • Lightning versus USB-C: Pros and cons for the iPhone

    get serious said:
    I say provide Europeans a Lightning to USB-C adapter the first year, pay the fine, listen to the howl and then go wireless.
     Let them talk themselves to death, and bury them with their own confusion
    You really think EU will listen to the people?

  • UK won't copy EU USB-C common charger mandate

    It doesn’t matter if the UK doesn’t follow the rule. Can anyone imagine Apple using two different ports? One on phones going to some nations, and a different one going elsewhere? Not going to happen. Apple has almost definitely been studying going to USB C for years. This won’t be something out of the blue for them. There are advantages in transfer speeds. They could implement 20Gb/s. If they had the power budget they could even have Thunderbolt. Lightning is a better physical connector, and slimmer. But with Apple going to slightly thicker phones the past few years, that slight difference isn’t important anymore. It’s also been better sealed against water intrusion, but new USB C connectors are much improved.

    so the case for staying with Lightning only in the phone, basically, is becoming less supportable. And this would give Apple the excuse to tell people with lots of Lightning cables and accessories that they were forced to do it, so don’t get ticked off at them, blame the EU instead. That would be a win for Apple.
    I think the more important issues is the future. Sure USB C is the best option now. But what about 10 years down the road? The same thing applies to SCSI, it was the best, but hardly anyone use it now. And we all know government is really slow to react to change. So EU user might need to use USB C for the next 20 years.
