Samsung also has much better lower end. The iPhone SE starts at 430$, compared to 200$ for a Samsung A14. Often Samsung phones are even cheaper with a prepaid.

For 90% of people that A14 is going to give you the same utility. However Apple probably has a much better margin here.
They get to own the whole stack, if I buy an an Android phone I'm getting my apps from Google, my cloud storage from Google.
If I buy an iPhone I'm buying apps from Apple, paying for iCloud and Apple TV.
- karmakaze 3y agoThat A14 is surprising. It has a huge screen, decent battery, dual-sim, headphone jack, and can take a 1TB MicroSD. The one I saw didn't even have much bloat installed on it.
- 999900000999 3y agoI actually was using a cheap Samsung phone( with a jack ) for a good while, but it lacked Esim. I suspect at the lower end most people aren't buying 100$ earbuds so they might as well leave the jack.
