The reason why the iPhone is always more valuable than Samsung’s high-end Galaxy phones
For more than a decade now, Samsung has been constantly trying to surpass Apple, but it seems to be impossible. The phone industry really changed in 2007 when Apple introduced the first iPhone. It is this legendary “super product” that defines smartphones and changes the lives of billions of users around the world.
Apple and Samsung are still the two brands that dominate the largest market share today. Despite Apple had having the highest smartphone sales in the world for many years. Samsung’s Galaxy phones have still lost to Apple’s iPhone lineup in terms of value, profit and revenue.
iPhone as a flagship product in the premium segment. Therefore, every material on iPhone is given the highest priority. Currently, the back design of the glass – stainless metal frame.
That’s as well as the dust and water resistance of iPhone 11 Pro Max is really the best on the market. They both ensure durability, while bringing beauty and sophistication.
Samsung has a wider allocation market across all price segments and reaches consumers in different markets. The Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series are highly rated by experts on the class and trend, but they are fragile, more vulnerable than the iPhone.
Apple has been producing its own A-series processors in its own technological process for many years. Although the number of manufacturing processes can be slower than Android smartphones or have less RAM. The iPhone still boasts the top-notch performance power.
That’s thanks to Apple’s excellent performance optimization capabilities, without the need for intermediaries like Samsung phones. Because of the same chip and operating system manufacturer, Apple’s iOS is considered a “private ecosystem” of iPhone users.
They have a different interface, App Store own app store, Apple’s exclusive application also brings its own unique color and personality. In return, Samsung smartphones and many Android phones have the ability to customize the interface better. The Google Store app store is more diverse.
The advantage of iOS is the fastest update capability and long-term update support, which can be up to 5 years. This is also one of the reasons why the iPhone has a higher exchange value than other Android smartphones. That’s including high-end Samsung phones.
iPhones mass-production in India to start during 2019
Foxconn’s founder and chairman, Terry Gou, has confirmed to the media that the company will start iPhones mass-production in India this year.
Terry Gou’s announcement comes when Foxconn, one of China’s largest companies, is expanding its manufacturing operations in India, the world’s second largest smartphone market. At this time, Foxconn is also involved in new high-tech areas, including artificial intelligence (AI) and self-driving cars.
Also during the event in Taipei yesterday, Gou said Foxconn will begin mass production of iPhones in India this year. This will help the company go deeper and promote the development of the smartphone industry in this country.
New production lines in India also show that Apple – Foxconn’s biggest customer – is seeking to increase iPhone sales in a number of untapped large markets, where Apple has also faced rivals which ever surpassed them in China like Huawei and Xiaomi.
According to reports from December last year, the iPhone models produced in India will be high-end devices, namely from the iPhone X. The most recent report said the iPhone X family mass production line will be launched in July.
Currently, it is unclear why Apple decided to assemble high-end iPhone models in India. The company only has a small market share in the smartphone market in India and concentrates on cheaper devices like iPhone SE, iPhone 6S and most recently iPhone 7.
However, it is likely that Apple is looking to diversify production of iPhone models for the US market. At this point, the US-China trade war could raise US import taxes from China by 25%, arguably the main reason why Apple sought to move its iPhone factory out of China. Although everything has eased somewhat, but due to the unpredictability of US President Donald Trump, this is still a wise plan of Apple.
In addition, the production of iPhone X in India may also help Apple achieve its goal of using 30% of components from India – a must for Apple to open a retail store in the country. You may not know, Apple recently reduced the price of iPhone XR in India to 25%.
