techinsider Apple = overprized

techinsider They really cost cost too much, with barely incremental improvements, if that. There's one simple waybto fix the sales slide though: remove the notch and make it a real full-screen phone, the way Samsung is doing.

techinsider No, it’s not. It’s because Huawei is basically giving away phones.

It’s actually very stupid to change phones every single year tho

techinsider The Apple of today is not the Apple of 2010, it was bound to happen, greed can’t lead like vision can.

techinsider They have to cut down prices or same will happen every time

SAI I had the same comment about iPhone price tag when they were launched. People are not willing to pay a premium when other devices habe similar specs for less. There is a price sensitivity in the market like never before.
