Not sure if it is like that because I’m in Korea, but on my Samsung S9 Samsung is injecting ads for their new S24 in my notifications. I’ve had the phone for 5 years and this is the first time I see ads in my phone notifications, unbelievable.

      And they wonder why they can’t compete with the iPhone

      Samsung is ahead of Apple in almost every market.

        Their hardware has been, with few exceptions, very nice. It’s sad to see they’re embracing the enshittification with such gusto on the software side… I mean, it was always bloated, even when they made BREW phones, but this is a whole nuther level.

            100% agree, though since I bought my pixel with a headphone jack I haven’t wanted to use it once in the 2 years that I’ve had the phone so… 🤷

            I honestly thought I would use it one or need it a lot more frequently.

          So? Worldwide sales obviously include countries like the US. I made clear with my comment that I didn’t mean worldwide sales.

          I was talking about most individual markets, not worldwide combined market share. There’s a difference and no amount of down voting changes that.

            Perhaps you should have been clearer then, as evidently many people are not seeing it that way.

            Perhaps that’s why you’re being downvoted. As if you care about those anyway, it isn’t really a measure we should use.

            Take care!

              I wrote “in almost every market” which is as clear as it can be. I’m being downvoted because die hard Samsung haters see red immediately and don’t care about facts.

                Dude you have no idea why people are downvoting you and I don’t want to get involved in a conjecture based debate.

                All I can say is what I know and honestly I don’t give a shit what phone you use. Or toilet paper or porn site. You do you my guy.
