Ummmmm. $1000 for no major updates in 5 years might explain it

Should've made the Galaxy S9 active after all!

Apple doesn't provide a whole lot of value to consumers and maybe the market is finally starting to demonstrate that. Sealing off the ability to upgrade or repair computers, removing headphone jacks, hobbling devices as they age, etc., etc. is not a way to grow market share.

Drop your prices!

Yeah dont care!

Don't charge so much then

there are more companies than just apple and samsung and its their nibbling of the big two's market share people didnt just decide to stop buying phones

That is life, fewer people are falling for the next Apple iPhone 13.3 or the Galaxy 11.7, especially when they cost what they cost.

Who wants to buy a phone every year when the changes are minimal and the prices skyrocket?
