Woah Apple lost the top spot in a quarter when they don’t release any phones, but Samsung does.
Ngl, the Samsung foldables look sick as hell. But I’m not ready to go back to OneUI bloat or whatever they’re doing with SamsungAI.
Can’t recommend unfortunately. My wifes Flip3 was repaired two times, and now the plastic film on the display loosened a third time. She now bought a fairphone.
Maybe the flip is awesome but the fold is a pain the fucking ass
Had the fold since 2. The Fold 5 is a tank compared to the Fold 3. I have dropped my fold 5 from a moving motorcycle in the rain. The Fold 3 was the most problematic. My wife has the Fold 4 and it is ok.
I recommend the warranty on all these phones.
The EU version is super nice. Don’t know what the carriers do in the US but the EU version is pretty good and can only say good things about the OneUI
We’ve had mixed results. Wife and I both had Galaxy Z Flip4. I dropped mine repeatedly and it’s still going strong (though I have since upgraded). Wife never abused hers and the inner screen started dying right after the warranty expired. Probably more luck of the draw than flip related.
Don’t these two go back and forth like every other year for the past several years?
Probably - but this is a shitty metric anyway. First because the two companies are not competing for the same space. And second because you should really be measuring active users - not device purchases.
you should really be measuring active users - not device purchases.
Why? Device purchases is a measurement of how well the company sells while active users shows how reliable the product is. One is good for business, the other is believed to be less so, ar least by the current batch of CEOs
because iphones are more likely to be passed along to 2nd 3rd and even 4th users, all who add to services revenues and spend in app stores and accesories. you can see by how they hold their value better over more time.
Tune in next month when a different company says the exact opposite
Investors are closely watching for updates on artificial intelligence development at Apple, which has so far spoken little about incorporating the AI technology into its devices.
I fucking hate apple but they’re on the right side of this fucking AI train.
I don’t want to disappoint, but…
Unfortunately, it’s probably just because it’s a “major version” feature. All reporting sounds like they are using one of two different models, either their own or possibly googles, but they want that to be a big part of the push for the new phone, I’m sure, just like they did with the iPhone 4s and Siri. I’m hoping it just incorporates more local device features, like better shortcuts and better Siri. I don’t need it to draw photos, I don’t need for it to look up shit on the Internet… But if it could summarize the page I’m currently reading, that might be nice
In hard economic times, high cost things have to hang
