      Which one is bog standard? Samsung has over 12 different models on production that range from 150$ to 1900$, including two models with folding screens. Apple has 3 4 almost identical phones, they’re all overpriced hardware.

        The hardware is overpriced, absolutely. But it’s also typically better than Samsung.

        By big standard I mean their “low end” device. The comparable Samsung of each generation is usually within ~$200 of the Apple model.

          Better? The Apple hardware is always significantly worse than competition in the same price class. Most of the price of an iPhone goes to their excessive marketing and record profits, so they have to cut costs on hardware

          You mean to say that the accidentally bendy phone is better than the actually foldable phone? Or that the accidentally bendy tablet is better than the tablet that is almost 20% larger, equally thin but somehow doesn’t bend?
