      That’s not what the sales numbers show. People are still replacing their phones for new ones, but in China they’re buying Chinese brands, not American brands. Huawei sales are WAY up and is eating into Apple’s market.

      The US and China have been battling back and forth over trade, espionage, political influence in Asia, etc. China has been trying to elbow out American brands in the country, and the US has been doing the same.

      Yep. I had an XR. I kept it until the battery started dying. Now I have a 13, which I got refurbished when the 15 came out so it was not all that expensive. I’ll keep that until the battery starts dying and do it again.

      And really, the only reason I’m sticking with it at this point is that I’d probably have to spend several hundred dollars to replace all the paid apps and games I have. If there were some way I could just transfer all of them to an Android, I’d probably get one.
