The same internet gave me what I told you and I broke it down but you still couldn't grasp anything...

Honestly, arguing with you is pointless. Believe in whatever makes you sleep better at night.

When I was in University, we had many of in the Department of Physiology, class of 2015, Delta State University.

Everything na argument. Even when there was no point to be made, their own be say, you must not win. I call it arguing for argument sake. Departmental meeting no dey end once them start.

Sometimes it's fun but today own na headache e give me...

It's like you're mistaking me for the guy who made that statement.

My own stance is different. I never made any contradicting statement.

oh! yeah... sorry. My bad!

Me: "But the price of the 12 is the same as the 11 and its sales are doing great. Samsung had to use the same strategy for the S21 to be successful".
You: "Same price
If you mean PR, campaigns and discounts, that's a different story"
(The truth: The price of launched price of iPhone 11 and the current price of iPhone 12 are the same. I said current because the launched price of the iPhone 12 Pro Max was $100 more).
I asked you to check it out yourself as I had already replied someone here with the same info.
But what did you come back with??
"The iPhone 12 sales is declining" and info about how Apple bumps the prices of their phone to report profit.
The second argument makes no sense when the phone were launched at basically the same price as their predecessor. How can you bump the price of a phone to stay the same
Coming to your former "sales premise". The iPhone 11 launched in 2019 and as of Q1 2021, it was still in the Top 5 most bought phones in 2021.
The iPhone 12 was launched in October 2020, it sold 100 million units in 7 months (a record) and is still selling and will still be selling even when the next iPhone is launched.
I always view people that are tech enthusiasts to be above average that they don't need simple explanation but what do you know.

You're the one that didn't know the price of the phones. Once you found out. Did you accept it in good faith? No. You decided to change strategy and come up with sales when you quoted me about price but I'm the one that likes to argue apparently and can't accept that my view is challenged. Go figure

It's just so ridiculous and incomprehensible.
I personally was addicted to Samsung, then for personal reasons, I decided to move to xiaomi. Tomorrow if they stop meeting my taste, I switch. What do I gain from being so sensitive concerning brands? No be my Papa own the company nah. I no even get share for anyone of them. Nawaa o

I'm at a cross between choosing Samsung or Xiaomi. Samsung was always my go to phone. But I want a change. How good is the xiaomi you are using please?

Bro do not choose phones based on brands but on specifications, quality and price ratio.

Personally I use Xiaomi because it has the best specs to price ratio in the midrange market. Hell...I use my phone to shoot 4K YouTube videos.

emae009:


The iPhone 12 sold more than the iPhone 11 but isn't better in terms of sells than the iPhone 11.
care to elaborate??

The iPhone 12 has better specs than the 11


The 11 on the other hand did not have more specs than the 10
So people (and I'm speaking from like 5-10 perianal experience ) who had the 10 did not buy or upgrade to 11
Most of them bought the 12 though , others are waiting for 13

Rather than yell over your keyboard or spout facts without context, why not back it up with plain facts.

Here are screenshots including a graph that shows that iphone sales have been steadily declining since 2014/15.

In 2018, in order to cover their backsides, apple stopped publishing iphone sales to the public. Do you think that it is a coincidence.

Yes I know you people love Apple and can sell your sisters and wives for their phones but when you come to my thread, come with evidence or shut the f*CK up!

I'm am android Stan but let's not pretend like Samsung too is selling flagships much.
I think the reason for declining sales might be that fact that innovation and speed has kind of peaked.
People no longer see reasons to purchase marginal improvements.

Well of course not.

This is probably the golden age of midrangers.

Companies like Xiaomi have been able to break even by selling massive volumes of phones on the cheap to break even. A risky strategy that has paid off.

Samsung realizes this too and has switched tact. The days of selling a few items for top dollar are in the past. They certainly could return in the future but this is the here and now.

That's the point.

Apple doesn't report iPhone sales alone. Nope. They combine tablet, Mac, software services and other ecosystems together and then report it as a single unit.

Why pay top dollar for marginal returns?

Are you sure they don't report solely iPhone sales?
Don't forget, Apple gets majority of their revenue from phone sales.

Be it as it may, I don't think Android is doing badly cos comparing total Android sales vs iOS sales will be like a dot and a circle.
That's the point people miss.
There are a thousand android phones there vs 3 or 4 Iphones yearly.

Na only here for Naija you will people putting iPhone for head like trophy. If you aren't using iPhone, you never use phone. Then comes along Xiaomi people with the 70-110k phones they swear by. You no go see road Waka pass when them start argument about why Xiaomi is a good brand, which it is, and why you should throw away your iPhone or Samsung and buy them.


Then there's us, the inifinx and Tecno warriors who could occasionally switch to Umidigi and OPPO every once in a while lol. Na God deh help us because we are the downtrodden of the phone market in Nigeria.

Everything na by choice and how much we get to buy phone sha.

iPhone sales contributes about half to the total yearly revenue. Off the top of my head I think that's the official company statement. But...that's kinda hard to verify because we only have estimates of phone sales. So in the end, we are going to have to take the company's word for it.

This your final paragraph, that what I have been singing since that the iPhone keyboard warrior no wan understand. I'm grateful that we still have rational thinkers in the country. More phones equal more sales equal more market share. Simple comprehension.

You wan kill infinix??
