WSJ: Apple Expects Lower-Priced LCD Models to Represent Majority of iPhone Sales in Upcoming 2018 Lineup

You mean P, the copy of gesture based OS that my X already uses?

I have Owned Samsung Notes and Galaxies, before my iPhone X....they are garbage. I never got an OS update in 3 years of owning the Note 4. Functions with the S pen never worked, I went through 3 batteries, and still got unexpected shutdowns constantly. Slow, buggy Lollipop and awful battery life. Got an entirely new device after 10 months, still didn’t fix my issues. Absolutely hated the phone. I owned the S3 and it was better, but still buggy, not smooth, and no updates. I know what Im talking about when it comes to Samsung phones. It’s really all I’ve owned.

LG makes terrible phones, besides decent cameras.

We were talking about Samsung phones, so I was asking what AI the Samsung phone uses that’s so great? I don’t want Google stealing my info to enhance AI on questions I’d rarely if ever ask.

Be honest...What AI features are you,really using that give you any benefit on a daily basis that don’t exist with Apple? If you say personal assistant, Bixby sucks and Hey Google only works better on crap I’ve literally,seen no one use except in testing.

Really don’t understand why you haven’t been getting updates on your samsung phones. Granted they do not support their phones for as long as Apple do, but if you buy a flagship samsung device you will get two major OS updates even if you have to wait 9 months after google releases it.

I’ve had the Original galaxy note, S4, Note 3 and S5 and they all received updates.

I’ve also owned the Note 4, S7 edge and note 8 and I didnt have them long enough for them to recieve Major OS updates but the S7 edge and note 8 did get security updates. My husband has had the S3, S6 edge plus, S7 edge and now the note 8 and they all received Major Software updates.

As for lagging and being buggy, the only samsung phone I’ve used which got laggy and had bugs was the original galaxy note. It was awful. The other samsung phones I’ve used did not lag and were generally smooth. The note 8 I had and the S7 edge in particular were just as smooth as the iphones I was using alongside them at the time (6S plus, 7 plus). I haven’t used the X and the note 8 side by side but I’d say the note 8 was just as fast and fluid as my iPhone X.

I’ve seen some lag on my husband’s Samsung phones but that’s more to do with how he uses them. Sideloads a lot of apps and doesn’t maintain the devices. Never reboots, doesn’t clean out his cache and doesn’t close his apps. Android devices need maintenance but isn’t difficult to do or time consuming.

Our experiences don't really matter. I can tell you every word I said is true. No updates on my OS...awful.

The fact the Samsung phones run Android, aren't as secure, wasn't supported as well as Apple, and pump out things like AR Emoji are enough for me to switch.

You can’t be serious?

Newsflash phones get updated each year which are better than the year before

Breaking news

They are dropping the price to sell even more to match their target. They still sold a huge amount of iPhone X devices

I am completely serious. And you seriously do not understand what I’m saying at all. I referred to the second iPhone X that’s yet to be released. Not the current one... errrr. Or whatever it was you belched at the other guy. But thanks for the news update. Reminding us all of what we already knew. So helpful.

Why? iPhone X customers knowingly paid big bucks to be early adopters.

Yep, and this year everyone will pay $200 less to be early adopters of the second iPhone X. No, not the year-old original iPhone X. The NEW iPhone X. Which shows just how much Apple can reduce their prices and still make money. Comes to show how wide their margins are with the current iPhone X. All that stuff Cook tells the media about how nobody ever comes close to estimating how much it really costs to produce an iPhone... Yeah, I’m definitely calling BS on that. At least for the iPhone X. They can’t just charge $1000 for one and then make a BETTER one (which would make it more expensive to build) the next year and on top of that drop the price by $200, claiming that they found a cheaper way to produce them. Nope.

Apple would only have to cut cost from $400 to $360 in order to reduce the selling price from $999 to $899, while maintaining gross margin.
