I’ve been questioning if android is even profitable enough for manufacturers to justify it in the US, like apple has the largest market share in the US and I see that everyday. Nearly every phone I see is an iPhone. The android phones I do see are rarely flagships.

    Regularly gets voted top android phone. So yeah. Top class. All phones have issues. Does pixel have more or less issues than any other. Hard to say. Plenty issues though. Battery drain is software though and impacts all phones.

    No. iPhone has the most expensive phone options. What’s the cheapest flagship for this year ?

      Battery issues and overheating from the Tensor SoC, which we all know is based on the Exynos (which Samsung stopped using because it was so bad).

      On the price:

      Top spec models -

      Samsung S23 Ultra 1 TB is $1619

      iPhone 14 Pro Max 1 TB is $1599

      Normal models-

      Samsung S23 128 is $799

      iPhone 14 128 is $799

      How is the iPhone more expensive? At worst it’s the same price, and you get more than double the years of software support.

        Apologies at the $20 difference. I’ve no interest in fact checking you. I’m assuming they’re a high end iPhone that’s gold and cones with extra security and such. But yeah loads of phones have overheating. My OnePlus 9 had horrible over heating. Samsungs gave been prone to it and plenty other ones. Sometimes they explode.

        Phones have defects like everything else.

        No argument on software side. Apple is great with software. It had lawsuits because it intentionally slows the phone to a crawl though. Samsung and other androids can be unlocked and flashed though.

        So both have some leeway there
