Not really anymore, iPhone don’t hold their values that much better. 1300 dollar iPhone XS Max after 1 year worth 600-700ish

The gear icon X, looking just like the galaxy buds cane out before the first gen AirPods. They had a charging case and were truly wireless.
Lens quality is also a big factor in making the photos better. More Megapixels doesn't necessarily make photos better.
I'll concede that there are only so many ways these manufacturers can design a case for storing and recharging the individual ear pieces, but at the same time, it could NOT be more obvious here that Samsung was eyeing AirPods for the jumping off point in designing the buds. Like these these things look a helluva lot closer to those than say, Jabra's wireless ear buds.
Also remember that Samsung did it first with the gear icon X. So any talk of copying is instantly dismissed.
Perfect, you can get a used s10 for only 550 after 3 months.
also, are you quoting ebay prices? half of them are imported from the korean market where its regionally cheaper and does not have all the lte bands needed. therefore sellers can sell for less and still profit.

J2 - $80
J3 - $110
A10e - $180
A20 - $180
A30 - $200
A70 - $350
S10e - $700
S10 - $800
That's not counting S8, Note 8, S9, Not 9 etc.
S10 was released less than a year ago. This event was about the flagship phones. Samsung releases new models all year round. Also, one should not compare $700 iPhone 11 to $1000 Galaxy S20. It's closer to A70 (but without AMOLED)
Yeah, that's fair. I replied to another forum member much in the same way I would've replied to you, had I not seen his comment first:
Also, even when buying flagship Samsung phone at release day one can get a lot of stuff from Samsung (memory cards, wireless earbuds etc.). And discounts come much sooner than to iPhones. This should be taken into account when comparing resale values.
Sounds like a good idea. I've been watching Telstra roll out their 5G across Melbourne and I've noticed it's starting to appear in suburbia in patches. Hopefully by the time the new iPhones are announced in September, It'll be good enough to buy a 5G iPhone and I can upgrade my plan but I won't do that until after my trip to the States.

yeah my gf got free galaxy bud and some other goodies when she got the s10 5g, they also let her trade in her s7 for 200 bucks.
Significantly cheaper than the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max in EU. Between €150-250 less!
Seems like a huge price increase for not a lot of innovation. Just 5G, better cameras, and 120Hz. Every improvement has an asterisk attached to it as well. 5G mmWave isn't on all of the models. 120Hz only works if you have the screen on 1080, not 1440. 8K works, but not on the main camera, and no stabilization. Yikes.
I’m basing it on comparison sites and all major pieces to sell devices.
Resale value remains great on iPhones and trash on all android devices

In the US sure but the US isn’t the only country in the world..everywhere else it’s trash
Samsung's hardware is superior to Apple's on every level since Cook. The big difference is in software, Samsung can't even compete with Apple, battery performance is mediocre and that bixby button is one of the biggest epic fail decisions of the industry, like that magic mouse rear charging port or the butterfly keyboard / touch bar.
$1000 - $1400 price range is hilarious considering the level of software they put out. Have an S10 sitting next to me.

I’m excited for 120hz in the iPhones this fall. Hopefully all of them get it. I want the 5.4 inch.
When you have a lot more pixels, unless you dramatically increase the size of the sensor, you deal with smaller pixels and color bleeding, so no, more megapixels does not mean better pictures unless those pixels are implemented reeeeeeeealy well.

ProMotion is different. It doesn't keep the screen rate at 120Hz, it dynamically adjusts based on the content onscreen.
Also, yes, the cameras sound impressive, but they're mostly just specs. We have to wait and see how they actually perform.
Not as great as you think, iPhone although do better than Samsung, loses about 50 percent value on an annual basis,
iPhone XR msrp 750 could be had for 300-400 depending on condition,
iPhone XS Msrp 1000 can be had for 400-500
iPhone XS Max msrp 1100 can be had for 500ish
now if you wanna talk about current generation iPhones,
iPhone 11 msrp 700 can be had for 500-600ish
11 pro msrp 1000 can be had for 700-800
11 pro Msrp 1100 can be had for 800-900
also in consideration Samsung allow carriers to throw a lot more promotions than Apple. Apple has stepped up in this area but not to the level of Samsung
Again like others you are basing this on the US
In the UK and Europe the trade in offers are simply not there at all. If anything you get no more than Apple these days which isn’t much
The S10 plus 512GB went for only £500-£550 months are release. One year after the previous iPhone for same storage you could get at least £700-£800
