"Xiaomi is the third-largest phone maker in the world behind Apple and Samsung, but its phones are not sold in the United States"
God damn, you folks really are forced to buy Apple
Apple is shit compared to Xiaomi. I'm using Xiaomi 11T Pro which I bought 3 yrs ago for around 530 USD. I got 120W charger, free casing and wireless earbuds. It functions the same as the day i bought it. It has Snapdragon 888 chip, 120hz screen, good camera, stereo Harman Kardon speakers, Dolby Atmos...man this thing charges 0 to 100 in fucking 20 mins. Now I can't stand it whenever I need to charge my phone in slow chargers lmao 530 bucks lol
Edit: I forgot, they even gave me a branded foldable blanket, you can fold it into a "bag" . It was a very comfy blanket ...i lost it somewhere.
I went from iPhone 6s to Huawei mate 20 in 2019. Felt like going from my Gameboy colour to a PSP or something.
Then afterwards because politics caused Huawei to be crippled, I went for Xiaomi. (Shares are sold publicly so there's more resistance in USA).
Xiaomi 12T via Telenet deals was 400 euros. Then now this year I went for Xiaomi 14T pro for 650 euros (plus a tablet).
My dad went for iPhone 16 for 830 euros.
I've only used his phone for like 10 minutes, but it feels so.. behind. It's like for 830 euros that they just cannot offer much. My friend said that an iPhone 16 is a waste of money, that you're forced to go for the pro max. But that's like 1500 euros for 512 GB space.
Apple, you're manufacturing your phones in china but you aren't pricing your phones like china does.
Why would anyone beside teenagers and seniors buy your phones?
I want to appreciate your comment but the only info about the iPhone is that it’s “behind”.
No specifics, no examples, just a “feeling”
