I'm not sure what you'd be looking for in a better phone. They're bounded by current CPU, battery, and screen technology, and flagship phones are pretty close to the best that's possible. Unless you literally want a gold bezel.
- steveBK123 2y agoI guess one could also argue that actually Apple has diversified into so many SKUs that there is indeed a high end. HN/techie crowd is always buying the latest and greatest version Pro/Pro Max or whatever every year or two,.. but look at the phones your parents/in-laws are using. Apple will happily sell you current year - 1, current year - 2, or the infrequently updated SE model. Mass market is the people buying those and holding them for 3..4..5+ years. We often go out with friends who are teachers and one had the iPhone 11 she apologized takes bad photos so please take group photos with ours, while the other had the 13ish with error messages popping up about his free iCloud being full. My FIL uses a hand-me-down iPhone Xs for banking because he doesn't trust his Android security, etc.
- jollyllama 2y agoIt's easy to imagine better - you would get the contruction worker phone features - extreme durability, quick swappable batteries, standard charging dock - with the high-end camera and other specs of the iphone. You could even imagine hot-swappable batteries, perhaps.
- steveBK123 2y agoApple has the lead here because majority of their competitors are takers / assemblers of off the shelf components. Whereas Apple is more vertically integrated and driving supplier component designs multiple years out. Leading edge vs trailing edge basically.
