Comment on Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker?
dustyData@lemmy.world 1 week agoThey probably are. But, this problem is also much larger for them than for other players. Oneplus is estimated to have sold 10 million phones over a one year. Samsung sold 4 times that number of s24 alone. If the suppliers can’t provide that level of manufacturing then they have to build the supply chain themselves, and that takes a lot of time, R&D and money.
