More like the price and people happy to keep hold of their phones for longer. Honestly there is nothing more I need on my phone, anything you need on your phone?

Maybe, but not very obvious as loads of people are technically unaware.
Come on, look at the wording of his post. If it was a genuine post, he'd have said 'I wouldn't go near a Chinese phone'. The only reason he said 'originating from' is because he's aware that the likes of Apple come from there.

Perhaps I should have said 'Market Share Dropping'. You're right though, nothing else needed on my phone. Anything missing will only be an app.

I'm not sure - people just aren't refreshing their phones as frequently as they used to, regardless of the flavour of OS they use - a Samsung sales "slump" has also been reported.
I'm still using an iPhone 7 Plus, bought on launch day, so getting on towards three years old now. I bought an iPhone X, got it home and thought "I don't need this" and took it back. I wavered over the iPhone Xs, but didn't make it as far as buying one before, again, deciding I just didn't need one.
Looking ahead, I'm struggling to see why I would update this September when the next iPhone is likely to be released.

Think this is a problem for all manufacturers now. The only thing that might get buyers to part with their case, is the folding screens.

My thoughts exactly when all this Huawei stuff kicked off.
I have the P20 Pro. Love it. Past 4 phones were Samsung. Huawei as good and cheaper than latest Samsungs.
Or they can force their phones to update to the latest OS, which doesn't work well with the old phones, forcing them to upgrade.

and spend years fighting class action law suits. not saying cant happen, but not without consequence. iirc Apple is already in one for hobbling the phones to extend battery life or something.
As an alternative app store F Droid is pretty good:

Can download .apk files from the website or install the Fdroid app and have access to lots of open source Android applications. Admittedly no Instagram or WhatsApp but plenty of useful applications available.

They are very good, ihad the note 5 had no issues with it and only recently changed to a Xiaomi Max 3 for no other reason than i had the Max 1 and loved the bigger screen for watching football, Netflix etc. Redmi are made by Xiaomi.

There was an item on World at One today https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00055mz
I'm more aware of the technology than I am of that word! I first heard it at Twerton Park, Bath where our fans used it to accompany long-range passes v. Bristol Rovers. I've really no idea what it's supposed to mean now.

Surely they knew this was going to happen?!
