For many they are in the ecosystem and see no reason to leave…android has some amazing phones but might not seem as polished. Feature wise it’s great but it’s also user experienceIs the iPhone 12 really that good or the Android options are so bad?.
Is really poor the user experience in Android?.
I worry because this makes Apple self pleasing, it hampers innovation, improvementa and pushes the prices up.
qualcomm modem is a big deal for me over the intel, 5G aside - Im not seeing advantages to 5G in my area either.The iPhone 11 matched it and is still the best iPhone on the market. 5G is a lot of smoke and mirrors for daily practical use.![]()
Everyone upgrades because they see 5G but meanwhile I'm actually seeing slower speeds in some instances and at best it's about the same as LTE if you're not using mmWave. But then again, mmWave you have to be careful that you don't even put an umbrella between it and the tower (small box on the side of a building) or it can drop your speed quite a bit. 5G seems fairly gimmicky to me so far.

Agree. I think the carriers were hurting trying to get people to upgrade (with Covid and all) so those deals made lots of people upgrade (since it was cheaper if not free) when otherwise they would not have upgraded.I have Sprint/ Tmobile and upgrading my gf from the 11 pro to the 12 pro cut her lease payments by $15 a month. So it was cheaper to get the 12 than keep the 11.
For my dad and roommate who are also on my plan, trading in their iPhone 8 made their 12 and 12 mini free. They had no desire to upgrade, it was only because I was pushing the 12 that they even considered it. I assume I'm not alone in that.
Also, didn't have to change from my Sprint plan, it already included 5G and tethering for free.
I had to read the article twice because I thought I had missed the mini jab. lolWhoa, MacRumors went a whole iPhone article without ******** on the Mini at all!
I wonder how much Iphone 13 sales will be impacted this fall.
Yep. Same here. Flat back, too! No stupid wobble on the table.I don't know how people are happy with those screen sizes, the SE size is that largest I am going to go unfortunately they will kill it. At 6.7 inches you might as well add a keyboard and mouse to that and call it an iPad Nano.

I agree as an overall package Apple are difficult to beat. When people consider their next phone, they don’t only think of their phone. They think of all their other devices and how a new phone will got into that set up.For many they are in the ecosystem and see no reason to leave…android has some amazing phones but might not seem as polished.

It's like Sharknado, but with iPhones

I dont think anyone cared much for 5G or OLED, the most enticing element was probably the first new design/aesthetic change since the iPhone 6 lol
Sharknado 6SPlease clarify. Sharknado 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6? 😉
I'm shocked to have read an entire macrumors article about sales without even one mention of lackluster mini sales.
Probably should mention all the government money handed out over the last year…. That probably had more to do with these sales numbers than anything else
