We always say that Apple is a miserly company, and other companies like Samsung or Huawei are generous companies. So I thought about this and is this real? Then I found that this is real, but with fundamental differences. So Apple is really stingy, but not the miserliness we think; The other companies are really generous, but not generous for the sake of generosity. Here are fundamental reasons behind this matter. So we decided to separate two articles to discuss this matter; Of course, what we are saying is just our point of view on iPhone Islam, and you may have another opinion that we are happy to share with us in the comments. And beginning with; Why are Apple's competitors so generous?
Examples of generosity
If you look at Android phones, for example the screens, you find a phone like Sony XZ Premium that has a screen of 3840 * 2160, that is, a 4K-quality screen, and by looking at the batteries, you find the largest capacity in the iPhone was about 2900, while the Android has a traditional capacity of more than 3 thousand mAh, but up to 4 thousand In phones like Huawei Mate, we even see medium devices like Mi Max whose batteries exceed 5 mAh. What about memory? The largest RAM placed in the iPhone was 3 GB, while the middle Android phones come with this 3 GB memory and the higher one, such as the S8, was put in 4 GB and was subjected to criticism ... There are 6 GB phones such as Huawei Mate 10 Pro and there is even OnePlus 5 / 5T owners of 8 GB memory. All of these devices are sold for the same or less than the iPhone price. Isn't that corporate generosity!
Even if we move away from the hardware and look at the same sales offers. Samsung, for example, has often published an offer such as Buy S8 / Note8 and get its own VR glasses, and even in some countries it has even offered a wireless charger or DEX for free. When Huawei launched the Mate 10 in Arab countries, it gave those who book a car charger, C adapter, selfie stick, and power bank for free. With Apple, you buy only the iPhone and there is not even a protective glass for the screen. Isn't this corporate generosity!
Competition, not generosity
In the beginning, we must know an obvious and basic point for companies, which is that they are an institution that was created for profit. When a company like Samsung, for example, decides to add a specific feature to the S9 phone that will be released next month, it will apparently promote and ridicule Apple for not putting it in, but the reality and statistics show that the majority of those who will buy the S9 were the comparison in his mind between him and the iPhone 8 or X. Yes this category They exist, but the majority will think whether the S9 is better, the Google Pixel 2, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, the Sony XZ1, the LG V30, the OnePlus 5T, and so on. The percentage of mobility between operating systems has become scarce. Apple has acquired a sector, and Android has also acquired a sector of its own and continues with it. Unfortunately, I can't find statistics to explain, but I can guess that 90% of current iPhone and Android users will have their phones coming from the same operating system.
That is, OnePlus, for example, knows that if it sold 100 5T phones, then most of them are 90 or more Android users already and did not come from Apple, and hence the challenge and the secret of generosity. If the goal is Apple, then there is no need for all of these things, but focus on points such as security, for example, design, smoothness of the operating system, and the quality of applications, which are the things that Apple focuses on. We have not heard that Apple has ever said that it wants to be the largest manufacturer of smart phones, but the President of Huawei said that they will topple Samsung from the forefront of phones by 2020. This makes Huawei’s risk to Samsung greater than Apple’s danger to it and thus the Korean company seeks to make its phone better for an Android user than a phone Huawei, although it focuses most of its advertising on the iPhone because it is the standard of smartphones, as if it sends an implicit message to Android users that our competition with all Android companies is settled and the conflict is with Apple only.
Conclusion
It may seem that the main conflict between Apple and Android and Android companies is seeking to put exceptional advantages, additional generosity and offers, not to compete with Apple, but because the internal Android conflict has become very violent and every company seeks to attract the largest number of customers to it. This is beneficial to us as Apple users because the technical conflict between the Android companies indirectly raises the ceiling for our ambitions from Apple.
