Not sure where you are reading that it paints a bad picture as everything i have seen suggests 20 million units within the next 1-3 months being shipped and by end of the year between 35-45 million. Nobody is saying samsung will sell the huge amount iPhones have done in the apple’s history as apple have built themselves over a long period to get people to buy these devices but the point originally is they are selling more than the previous version which in the way the market is currently is good news.
From Samsung’s statement claiming that sales will fall short of projections.
Remember last year when the s9 had the same projections from the same sources and 2 months later it was revealed that the s9 was a failure, 4 months after launch it was the worst selling galaxy since 2013.
I think it’s silly to suggest freebies are worthless when the galaxy buds look a better product than the air pods. Seeing as it sounds better, has way more features to make it how you want it and it actually uses a great assistant instead of worthless Siri. All reports the galaxy buds are a great product and getting them free is a huge bonus for the Samsung ecosystem if you were to compare it to apples.
Every review I have read comparing the galaxy buds to the AirPods say they fall short in performance compared to the AirPods. Just because they are free doesn’t make them as good or equal to the AirPods, it just means Samsung didn’t think it could sell any on its merits.
Obviously if you have an iPhone air pods would work better sync wise but likely wise buds are better for a samsung device. To get them free is great.
So you agree that the iPhone + AirPods isn’t equal to galaxy s10 and galaxy bud, but you will comprîmes because it’s free.
I would rather pay for a product that worked then get one free that work some of the time, but that’s just me.
That’s prices you list certainly didn’t exist from my memory. You can get £650 for my max 256GB now on comparison sites which i’m Sure will go down more before the next iPhone is out.
It’s not from memory just checked gumtree.
You would be able to get more if it was unlocked, the prices of the galaxy s9 and s10 were of unlocked models, locked variants would be even cheaper.
The xs max was released in September, 6 months ago, the s10 isn’t even a month old. M
If you unlock your phone you would be able to get more for it now and in six months time, as long as it’s in good condition.
And when it comes to buying older galaxy phones or the current ones by getting it cheaper in say 2-3 months that to me is far better value seeing as you can get a great phone for a much cheaper price by just waiting a matter of months. Least then if you can get the current flagship cheap you are certainly getting better value for money by paying less than an iPhone which doesn’t really do half of what the galaxy phones do.
You can’t claim a device losing 50% of its value in 2-3 months is good value.That’s illogical, because we know in 6-7 months that value would drop further to 70%.
Trade ins from samsung certainly out weigh the money you get back from iPhones.
You could get more for money for the iPhone through a private sale than Samsung’s trade in program, the same isn’t true for another Samsung device you will always get less.
Is the money you get back for iPhones great? Yes of course but if you buy only Samsung phones you get just as much value by trading in your Samsung device for the new one as you would if you sold your iPhone to get the new one.
That money is called “value”.
Sure if you only buy Samsung phones through Samsung and sell them back to Samsung and Samsung chooses to keep the trade in program. But if any of the parameters aren’t met or If Samsung choses to cancel or change the trade in program next year or the year after, your s10 value disappears very quickly if Samsung is the only vendor willing to honor said value.
As with the flagship iPhones it’s never a problem, someone always wants one at a discount and are willing to pay for it.
