Drops in profits can mean investments, new hires and a myriad of other stuff. No meaning in the headline whatsoever. Profits are not revenue.

Dunno if you’re taking the piss but they’re not that bad. Have an iPhone mini 13 I bought for €450 2nd hand with 100% battery health. Decent upgrade from an Xperia XZ1 compact. Needed a pocketable phone & the Asus Zenfone was too expensive.

Have to say, having the call audio levels, proximity sensor & speakers properly tuned to the hardware, software/security updates without having to run a non-official build of Lineage OS and AltStore-Linux for side-loading has been sweet.

I have for about a decade. I use my phone as my backup map when I am flying. It has to work, every time, without fail. I've never owned an android that could hold a candle to an iPhone for software stability.

Do you have any sources for this? Afaik Samsung phones are still massively popular with young people in Korea.
