This just sounds like you don’t understand why people like apple products and are tying to cope with it. Read the other replies in this thread if you’re interested in expanding your understanding.

Apple isn’t a brand. It’s a cult. They don’t have to compete with actual market - they just need to build stuff that justifies cultists.
How it started? From Steve Jobs. After he departured from Apple it went into slow death until he went back and make iPod and then iPhone. Cult of personality. It works in US for some reason. Same with Elon Musk, really. And with Trump, and bunch of other public figures.
Apple actually learned their lesson, and after Jobs was gone, they targeted their marketing to shift public worship from him to the brand.
Their products are shit gimmicky pretty looking overpriced garbage that have few redeeming qualities (like iPhone camera which is really good actually) but otherwise they don’t compete with the general market.

All modern phones (even the cheap ones nowadays) produce excellent photos, so iPhones aren’t isolated in this respect. And many equivalently priced options have far superior camera hardware (and arguably software processing too, their colours usually look more pleasing than the iPhones).

Photos, yes, I agree 100% but videos is a bit different thing. I know professionals who use iPhone for making short vids for TikTok and instagram specifically because video quality is good, even with subpar light setup.

That is something I’ve heard of, and I think it’s because Apple has more resources to focus on more professional video codecs and such (which others may not bother with due to it being good enough for most people already)

Samsungs produce shit photos because the firmware is appalling.
