We’re there how? If one includes app crashes, real world speed and stability is in the toilet.We are almost thereSame holds up for real world speed, cameras and software. Can you imagine that it’s becoming a hard sell for Apple when their phones are almost twice as expensive in some parts of the world when what they’ve to offer are almost the same? I believe the new Galaxy S10 is similar priced in the USA as the iPhone XS and that’s how it should be. In other parts of the world you can buy two comparable phones for the price of an iPhone XS, that’s a problem.
I'm starting to agree with you more and more it's a strange feeling haha. Let's just say there is some healthy competition in the phone sector that benefits us all.

I do actually. The yearly cost of keeping a $1000 phone for five years, in my opinion, would be similar to purchasing a more budget friendly phone each year.
Just some data:

I do as well. I’m still on iPhone 6s. But my next phone won’t be an iPhone if these are still excessive priced compared to others.
I agree. I am not very willing to go above $1000 for a phone. Thus, the S10e is looking VERY good right now, thinking about picking one up. Plus the color, prism white, omfg I love the color!!
Right, except the videographer was complaining about android app crashes and not iOS app crashes.
I was having horrible app crashes and overall instability on iOS on all my devices until a couple of updates ago. These days I dread iOS updates because it usually means several weeks of instability and wonky battery behavior.
It's been ages since I've had an app crash on my S9+. Even on my Pixel 3XL, it's been good. My husband has had some instability on his Pixel, though. But both of our Samsungs have been rock solid. I know that's only anecdotal observation and means nothing in the big picture. But to me as a customer, these observations do put the two platforms on close footing, for my personal needs.
actually ios crashes more than android

An examination of mobile app crashes between Apple's iOS and Google's Android once appeared to suggest that apps crash significantly more often on iOS compared to Android.
Samsung gets a lot of flack on Mac Rumors but also more comments than almost any Apple news. Say what you want but the products they are releasing lately are commanding a lot attention. I doubt any other Android phone manufacture would generate and average of 20+ pages of comments on an Apple fan site.
Yeah, the S10 is definitely showing the iPhone who’s in charge there.The shadiness of the iPhone being charged by the S10.
How far have we gotten, Samsung phones are charging iPhones and Apple still won’t include a fast charger in the box? Also, it would be nice to put the headphone adapter back in the box....took me a while to find one for the iPad Pro that actually worked and wasn’t overpriced (P.S. the S10 has a headphone jack).
Apple please put everything back in the box.
S10 series >>>> iPhone Xs series
Enough said.
I think you’re right. Samsung makes a great product and obviously people on this site will take notice. There’s always a lot of heated discussion when it comes to articles like this, but I generally feel that people are happy with their respective platforms and aren’t compelled to switch, regardless of what the competition does. That could change, but Apple would need to stop putting out great products themselves. Either way, we have a ton of good choices as consumers, and it ultimately benefits us all.
For me, it is great to see other companies and manufactures making an effort to compete with the likes of Apple & Co.
However, I know this will always happen, but, I don't see the point of these "versus" videos and write ups. I feel it often festers bad communication and internet arguments.
Regardless, consumers should merely buy the device they like/want to use. This is merely my opinion.

Only for those “6” apps monitored by these frameworks, which could be badly written iOS apps.
Some people still believe only iOS is rock solid. This simply isn't true. Both are great OS-es these days and Android is definitely not behind of iOS.
I still remember when google came out with Android and everybody, including Apple, laughed about it and dismissed it. Saying Google has no history in writing a good OS and will never be able to do what Apple does. Same goes on for Microsoft when they came out with the Surface. Microsoft was a software company and wouldn't be able to make great hardware.
Lol, look what's happening today. Seems like Apple can't make good hardware and software anymore
And Google, Microsoft, Amazone and lot's of others... are showing Apple the way these days.
What a big difference can happen in only 7 years
Comparison videos are educational. They show strengths and where improvements can be made on both sides. For example, just because you're on one side of flat vs round earther camp shouldn't mean you should block everything else out. Only companies benefit from that and not smart consumers.
If there weren't comparison video's we would still think Macs are best for professional video editing. And an i9 is faster in a MacBook Pro than the i7
Very good point. I should have expressed myself better. My point being, comparisons are welcomed. But, the bickering that can come with it, can be a little overwhelming at times and often frustrating, too.
Rofl, no
u can change default search engine whenever you want... against this, you have no argument, case closed, go cry me a river in another threadBe honest, have you changed your default search engine for another one?Rofl, no
That's the case with all flagships, the mid and low end phones can do 90% of it at less then half the price.
Do you use YouTube, Gmail or Google maps? If so guess what lol
Right idea, bad example!
Yes, you should block out everything about the Earth is flat.
Personally the bullet hole could have been a very tiny notch and I think it would have worked better.
After using my mate's Pixel 2 at Christmas, I personally found it to be clunky. I also think the apps weren't as good.
