Sure you do...

Hi Jolly Roger,

I've studied you rather strange religious zealots, where most of the time
you whine because you can't dispute the facts - and you hate that fact.

So I won't belabor the issue that Apple's miniscule spend on R&D is widely
reported as the lowest percentage in all similar tech companies.

You know so little about math that you don't realize spending is
proportionate to revenue in very many financial reports - and what's even
more embarrassing - tech companies far smaller than Apple spend far more.

Nonetheless, the point of this thread isn't that Apple can only advertise
innovation - not deliver it - as it's widely known Apple can't even design
a simple 5G modem for Christs' sake - they're that incompetent - when
companies far smaller than Apple have been selling them for years already.

To badgolferman's question, the original article questioned how Apple could
keep up given the iPhone SE is atrociously underpowered at twice the price.

Which of those statements in the original post are you trying to dispute?

1. Jolly Roger: Are you disputing this fact?
   Display = 6.67-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED with 2,000-nit peak brightness
   Or are you disputing this assessment of that fact?
   "making it iPhone 15 Pro-like buttery-smooth which is
   "a huge improvement over anything the iPhone SE could even dream of."

2. JR: AR you disputing this fact?
   "There's a pretty nondescript Mediatek Dimensity 7300 chip inside,
   but it's paired with 8GB of RAM plus an "8GB RAM booster,"
   whatever that means. But over at the Apple Store, you'll need
   to buy an iPhone 15 Pro to get 8GB of RAM."

3. JR: Or are you disputing this fact in the article?
   "The 33W fast charging is more than the iPhone too."

4. JR: Or do you dispute these facts about the camera?
   "The specs continue with a 50-megapixel Sony camera around
    the back and a 16-megapixel camera up front"

5. JR: Or are you trying to dispute this fact?
   "while a 5,000mAh battery means you won't run for the charger"

6. Or is it this assessment of the facts that you simply don't like?
   "If Apple really does want to stick to a price point of around $400,
    it could at least sell an iPhone that doesn't look like it came
    from 2016 with similarly outdated features."

7. JR: Or are you tryign to dispute this fact?
   "microSDXC, 128GB 6GB RAM, 128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM"

While I realize you hate that Apple can't design competitive products,
in this thread we're only comparing this el cheapo Android phone to the
iPhone SE (which, from the specs, is highly overpriced & underpowered).
