    I mean Android, and Samsung in particular, borrow from Apple all the time as well. Hell Samsung frequently bad mouths Apples for the anti-consumer choices one year then follows suit and does the same thing in a year or 2 themselves.

    These kinds of takes are not the flex some seem to think they are in my opinion.

        Eh? Their bog standard device cost is usually pretty on par. And Apple definitely isn’t charging you double.

          Which one is bog standard? Samsung has over 12 different models on production that range from 150$ to 1900$, including two models with folding screens. Apple has 3 phones, they’re all overpriced hardware.

            The hardware is overpriced, absolutely. But it’s also typically better than Samsung.

            By big standard I mean their “low end” device. The comparable Samsung of each generation is usually within ~$200 of the Apple model.

              You mean to say that the accidentally bendy phone is better than the actually foldable phone? Or that the accidentally bendy tablet is better than the tablet that is almost 20% larger, equally thin but somehow doesn’t bend?
