How much did Apple pay/sponsor CNBC for this video?….just as Samsung is releasing the S24.
Very Pathetic.

Most ugly flagship phone there is. I hope they reduce the bezel size in the future because it looks outdated

Samsung is actually taking over Apple. I personally went for Apple to Samsung and it's one of the best decisions that i have ever made

The main thing about Apple is its great marketing and deals with celebrities that make their fans to buy a iPhone some go the extra mile by saying "if you have an android you are poor" and so people buy the iPhone even Samsung home country can't stop this mindset since most Korean celebrities are using iPhone so their fans are buying too and to bully people with the blue vs green text message

It has happened before (fingerprint sensors come to mind) that Samsung rushes out new tech, then Apple does it right a little later in the year. I remains to be seen if this also will hold true for AI-stuff, or if Samsung is truly ahead this time.

Apple is just an overhyped phone with lots of PR…Samsung has a lot more functional performance and east to use phone in the like of s24.

Apple's after sales service is unbeatable. What samsung does when you visit their service center is to find something to reject warranty. At the same time apple employees immediately apologize that their product became defective and service the product. Is top notch customer care which other companies should learn from.

The real reason for this overtaking is because of other android phone competitors like Google, Huawei, Xiaomi, Nothing, and OnePlus.

I’ve always had an iPhone for all my times having a smartphone, so I gotta admit I’m sticking with it unhinged by the tech competition lol

The pie still dominate with androids, but lesser number of samsung might be due chinese brands

Apple needs to play a bigger role in guiding and helping us in our daily lives. For instance the AI should hear me present at work and then help me improve it by including atomic but subtle habits….or tell me that I was a bit too rude or dramatic to my kids and then help me to meditate and reflect so that I can become a better parent…or if I’m in the doctors room and the AI warns me that the medication that the Doctor is recommending had an adverse side effect before and gives me some alternatives etc. If Apple can develop advanced AI that is subtle but highly intuitive based on shitloads of data prompting me to do things to improve my life it will be a real game changer.

samsung is scamming us by selling us exynos on their flagship paying for the same price for an inferior product

It’s because of the it’s heavily moderated AppStore. Most if not all apps are optimized for iPhones compared to its android app counterparts. Then the software even though very basic compared to android. Hell I was on xs max and it ran great for 5+ year and just upgraded this year to 15 pro max
