their overhead is a ton higher than some random dev like chucklefish

<a:tfman:529522210054995968>

so they have do resort to this and they have to answer to shareholders

Also engine use is op

and be very risk adverse

unfortunaly that only works so long

for any business

same is happing to apple right now

they arne't innovating

Same with samsung though

the only thing keeping them propped up is people's reliance in the app store and their purchases

if they could move to another platform and keep those, they would consider it more

nah, samsung users can move to any other android and have applications

and music and anything from Google

They suffer from other issues though imo

Sure, but it's not like apple

android have phones at every price

i.e. you can get a very awesome phone (from 3 years ago standars) for $100usd

Apple i hate with a passion because its not developer friendly

aslo the bigger issue is everyone that was going to get a smartphone has one

Nb4 xorgy comes in

so they have to convince people to upgrade

1000$

the *good* thing is hopefully what happens is a price war comes in because features arne't worth the upgrade

For a phone

yeah and thats actually a good price all things considered

You can get a very usable computer at that level

for the amount of r&d that goes into it and the power of the size

miniturization always costs money so you can't compare to computer

that being said the prices are inflated

but that might see a downtrend if apple starts losing sales

and samsung

I can when we are talking 1000$ for a phone with lack of features

if innovation (which it can't) doesn't keep up

I wouldnt' call them a lack of features

Apple is very anti-consumer. They go out of their way to make it very very hard to fix your own apple device, and if you do they try and use social pressure to shame you for it.

just a lack of new features

China is doing really well in the phone market as they have lower costs and time for R&D, due to the fact the factories are close to the designers

Samsung has no limitation
