It is disappointing to see Google raise prices while offering less RAM and settling for older display technology. Yet again, Apple secures the latest, top-tier display tech while Google falls behind—it feels like the same old story.

Yep, pretty excited for the Duo.

To be fair, though, saying that Apple always secures the latest top-tier display technology is a bit misleading. Apple kept 60Hz panels on its non-Pro iPhones for many years, while competitors such as Google were incorporating 90Hz and 120Hz displays into mainstream devices well before Apple brought higher refresh rates to its standard lineup.

Apple certainly tends to focus on refining and optimizing technologies before adopting them broadly, but that isn't the same thing as being first to market with the latest display innovations. Historically, Android manufacturers have often introduced features such as high-refresh-rate displays, LTPO technology, always-on displays, and other screen advancements before Apple eventually incorporated them into the iPhone ecosystem.

Did I miss the part where Google promised they were using the M16? There is a big difference between not correcting rumors and making a promise.

Not as disappointing as Apple in every iPhone release which btw, the demand for the new iPhone is very weak. Want some 🧀 with that whine?

No, just PA making click bait articles to troll the Pixels.

I only buy top-tier devices, so I’m excluding the non-Pro models from this conversation. When it comes to flagship phones, Apple consistently secures the best components available. Look at the M14 display: Apple adopted it starting with the iPhone 15, while Samsung didn't even bring that same tech to the S26 Ultra until much later. It’s wild to see how that gap plays out.

What a non-article😂


(And a badly written one at that).


Good to know I should exclude PA from my sources.

People are definitely interested in the foldable iPhone, just like I’ve been saying. Also, did you put a decent case on that Pixel 11 Fold? You’d better, because if you drop it, it’s going to shatter—that thing bends more than Beckham.
