Samsung adopted so many Apple standards in an attempt to be like Apple (locked-in battery, headphone jack removal, SD card removal, obscene price increases for more internal storage) that eventually people started switching to Apple.
Imagine my shock
Maybe in the US. I think there is more to it than this.
I was about to write a comment saying that I agree with you, but then I decided to fact check myself.
Turns out, my intuition was wrong. Apple really has a larger market share than Samsung.
And their cameras got worse. The shutter lag on my S22+ was ridiculous. I missed so many good moments with my kids because it either failed to take the picture on time or the picture it did take was a blurry mess. After using Samsung for several generations, I traded for an iPhone 15 Pro. The camera alone was worth the switch. It turns out if you spend years copying Apple then people would rather just buy the real thing once you’ve removed all the features that made you unique.
