US smartphone shipments declined 24% YoY in Q2 2023, according to Counterpoint Research’s Market Monitor data. This was the third consecutive quarter of YoY declines. Android brands like Samsung, Motorola and TCL-Alcatel saw the steepest declines in shipments, while Apple’s shipments were more resilient. As a result, Apple’s share of shipments increased YoY.

    Any battery will be degraded after 3 years of daily use, no matter the brand. And if you are saying this in the sense that apple slows down phones after a while, it’s just not true anymore, they profit more from having you inside the ecosystem than risk you switching to android (which is also why they offer so many years of updates). I’ve had an iPhone 8 up until 2021 and it was still very fast and had (relatively) good battery life. Even when I turned it back on a few months ago and updated everything to ios 16, it was still working just fine on battery and performance department

    And don’t get me wrong, I am not an apple fanboy (anymore). I have an S23 and I won’t even consider switching until Apple allows me to sideload stuff on iOS, I just don’t like false information
