Undoubtedly the iPhone is a popular and fashionable brand but I’d disagree it’s maintaining its success purely based on that. It’s a simple but well designed product and is appealing across many demographics. I read that in the UK the most popular phone sold in the last 12 months was actually the iPhone 7. I think they are popular in business and the corporate environment because their simplicity is easily manageable too.
To keep this in the realm of the thread, the flagship phones by Apple and Samsung are high quality. Based on your preferences pick one or the other.
"Best" is definitely relative. For me, when I buy a phone I look beyond the hardware. I'm sure Hauwei is great and the 10 million units they sold I'm guessing are mostly in China. I think phone makers should be acknowledged for pushing the envelope, but your right, in the US it's a different story. And phones like the p20 pro may be why the Galaxy s9 sales are dismal.
They have sold a huge amount in Western Europe where they are going down a storm.
Still "best" is still subjective. I'm happy it's selling great in western europe, of course if it's predecessor didn't sell well, having a 300% plus increase is an easy feat if the phone is much better.

There are a lot of people who get iPhones as a "fashionable brand". Look at the number of phones in cases with circular holes in the case at the Apple logo

True, or the number of phones with the brand on the front face as well as the back. I don’t have a problem with cases showing off logos personally and I couldn’t honestly say that is the sole reason people buy an iPhone for instance and neither could anybody here.There are a lot of people who get iPhones as a "fashionable brand".

No. It says something about someone who buys a phone case with a circular cutout at the Apple logo, as they clearly want people to see it. That has always amused me.Apple has always had a strong focus on design so that’s nothing new, and the Apple logo is part of that identity. Android tries to be just as “fashionable” by putting the google logo and the mascot everywhere, including cases. It says more about you that you associate the Apple logo as more fashionable
I don't think anyone want is saying that branding is the sole reason for people inbuying iPhones, but many do. I have had people who have directly told me that is why they have an iPhone. Because it looks cool. And they want the logo to be seen through a case.
Probably a few Scots as well.
It’s up to the person what case they choose and it’s certainly not a negative choice as it’s entirely personal. My iPhone case is clear and shows the phone through it. If it offends or amuses anybody then it’s their problem as far as I am concerned.

Younger people in general are very gullable when it comes to "Being fashionable". A perfect example is footballers pulling their socks up over their knees. How many were doing that last year? In fact I have just seen three Albania players on the TV just doing that
If people are buying purely for the brand I guess they get a very good mobile phone out of it, so in reality it doesn’t really matter.I don't think anyone want is saying that branding is the sole reason for people inbuying iPhones, but many do.

Manufacturers make the cases with cutouts because they know they sell better. It's an additional tooling feature so they cost more to manufacture. I've asked people why they have a case with a cuyouysnd they have ss
I'm not offended by holes in cases. I'm amused by it
That's fine. I am sure that is the case
It was suggested that nobody buys an iPhone for fashion reasons in an earlier post.
Yeah, I said ‘offended or amused’ in the post. Whatever floats your boat I say.I'm not offended by holes in cases. I'm amused by it
''I do care a lot what products someone else uses as it makes me feel more empowered with my own opinion validating my own purchase'' <- This is what's happening on this thread.
Agree with everything you said. The unfortunate part is folks feel (for whatever reason) like they are being personally attacked because another person chooses to use whatever device/platform they aren't using. It's dumb and it's, unfortunately, human nature.
