See the phones getting introduced next week and see how far Apple is getting behind. Those are the competitors. And as the ancient iPhone 8 is similar priced over here than the newly Samsung s10 with air buds included, it’s not hard to see that iPhone sales will take another hit.
That's conjecture. We'll see as the year progresses as these phones will, imo, be vying for android market share.

So how do you explain the new galaxy S10 with free air buds is only € 4,- a month more expensive than the ancient regular iPhone 8 over here?

Pure greed from Timmy ruins the business.
I don't have to explain it. If one wants an s10, it's there for the taking. We'll see as the year progresses how iphone sales are.

Samsung doesn’t have as much pricing power as the iPhone?

iPhone trounces Samsung in the $500 and up smartphone market.

Clearly, I’m sure no one has hesitated in purchasing Apple products due to pricing.
So you want more than $1B per day in sales?

Apple isn’t going to give their stuff away and the numbers say they have found a balance between price point, margin, and sales.
 
This is the first Samsung keynote I have watched. The lack of crowd enthusiasm was cringeworthy but I for one enjoyed seeing everything they are offering. Same-sung gets their nickname for a reason but I think they are on to something by mimicking Apple. You have a whole group of discontented Apple users looking for an alternate. Yes, Samsung charges $1000 for their phones as well - but you get healthy trade in values, more choice and a bunch of freebies.

I thought this guy was pretty enthusiastic:
