For one, if you’ve ever used Google Assistant it is like a glass of ice water in hell compared to Siri. I end up angry probably 6/10 times I use Siri. If you want to read how people feel about it, I recommend starting here:
Samsung's competitors are the other Android phones. The market of folks who use iPhones and are in the market for a new iPhone and decide to switch to a flagship level Android is small.
I absolutely admit that.
You clearly don’t remember well, Android phones were never more powerful than iPhone. Every year iPhones were faster, the ,,specs” on android phones were higher resolution display, more Ram, bigger battery, which is not related to powerful, that ram is useless when iPhone is handling it better with 4 or 6gb than android with 8/12 or even 16, also battery life, bigger battery means nothing when there is ton of bloatware and inefficient chip and OS. More powerful means in Cpu and Gpu, androids had better hardware only on paper, more cores and higher clock speed but when you look at benchmarks back in the day dual core 5S destroys octa-core android in raw performance, same with gpu… so iPhone was 99.9% of the time more powerful, even 2-3 years ahead, don’t forget iPhone 13 is 2021 phone (A15 is 2021 chip) while S22 and snapdragon gen 1 are 2022 products…
Exactly. I fly several times a month and alternate between using the Wallet app or the airline app to scan my boarding pass. If I do something such as respond to a text or change a song in Spotify, the boarding pass has already been backgrounded then once I find my seat I open Instagram or Reddit to only find where I was scrolling prior to boarding was backgrounded too and starts me back at the top.
Thank you for providing those numbers. I did think about people in developing countries, but in every article I have read about them, it seems that they are either using cheap laptops / chrome books, or just getting by with a handphone (example would be China, where everything basically exists within the wechat app).
Samsung's DeX Setup Is Too Expensive to Shine in the Markets That Need It the Most
Samsung DeX is the much advertised feature of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ which turns your phone into a computer. But is it really aimed at the right audience?www.xda-developers.com
I feel that the people in these countries are unlikely to by buying samsung phones that do support Dex, even if they are several-year-old models that have been heavily discounted. Why bother, when there are numerous other inexpensive android handsets available? Xiaomi, Vivo, even Samsung’s other cheaper models.
So I think we come back to the old problem where the people buying these phones likely already have the disposable income to spend on multiple computing devices (making Dex that less attractive of a proposition), while the people who might benefit from having a portable desktop CPU (of sorts) are not going to be interested in it due to pricing reasons. And the issue with bringing Dex to cheaper handsets is that for that price, they may not have the specs to sufficiently power said feature.
Trust me. Given my experience with said feature, I do not regret not having it on any of my iOS devices at all. ?

What exactly do you mean by "your experience"?
I only have one HomeKit device….my thermostat and there is little latency…fwiw.
Actually they don't. Apple uses the superior TSMC for fab while Qualcomm and Samsung are both stuck with the inferior Samsung fab. TSMC doesn't have the capacity to do all three and Apple has a boatload more leverage.
I could only speculate, some issues with the vendors’ software maybe? Software and hardware do have to work together.
You've pulled those specs out of your butt, but obviously more fps. That's the whole point, specs aren't everything but anti-apple folks live and breath specs.... except for phones and CPU's, conveniently.
