each new phone is more expensive, with less functionality.
hover on the touch screen? gone
iris scanner, gone
headphone jack? gone
air pressure sensor? gone
humidity sensor? gone
ir blaster, gone
meanwhile I get charged out the ass for storage space.
Why the fuck would I want a newer phone?
Also removable batteries gone
That’s supposed to be coming back by EU law in the next few years. So we have that at least.
Lol everyone commenting it’s because THEY don’t want to buy a new phone. Samsung supplies screens, electronic internals for other companies, and a fuck ton of appliances. They don’t only make phones…
I was just in a vacation rental looking at a Samsung mini-split AC and wondering if it was good or not haha.
Their washing machines and dryers aren’t great compared to LG, so I would be suspicious of their ACs.
Samsung and LG are both garbage when it comes to washers, dryers and the worst for refrigerators.
What do you mean? Consumer Reports ranks LG dryers as the best, so much that you the next best dryer that isn’t an LG is a Samsung in 21st place.
Of CR recommended dryers, 11/11 electric dryers are LG and 20/25 gas dryers are LG.

Where do you get your data from?
Consumer Reports isn’t a valid source. They have paid reports.
Speed Queen is the top brand in washers and dryers.
LG dryers do not last past their warranty for very long. Anyone who’s owned an LG can tell you that as with appliance repair companies.
LG and Samsung are very poor.
Consumer Reports isn’t a valid source. They have paid reports
Do you have a source for that? That would be a pretty big deal considering they’re a non-profit that claims to accept no samples and no advertising.
PeTA claims is doesn’t fund terrorism. Yet they do. They were blacklisted from Walmart donations when I worked there for that sole reason.
Drops in profits can mean investments, new hires and a myriad of other stuff. No meaning in the headline whatsoever. Profits are not revenue.
Young people in Korea have switched over to iphones. iphone have like 60% marketshare now for that demographic
Imagine actually using an iPhone

Firstly, it’s a joke, secondly, it’s more about OS and user experience and not brand loyalty. The fact that you don’t know that is a tell tale sign

I don’t even want to buy a new phone. It’s been more than four years. What great productive work are most people doing on them anyway?
