Well, except the traditional parents don’t think that way or just won’t do it, so saying that doesn’t matter in the cultural context. I don’t think there’s a solution to that except moving to a place more aligned with our values.
Yet the article says Samsung attributes that to the phones market?
Samsung attributes this loss in profit to the decline in smartphone shipments due to “high interest rates and inflation.”
Something else that doesn’t seem to bode well is the fact that Samsung believes the boost that came from the launch of the Galaxy S23 series has faded.
And expects a comeback because it’s launching new models…
The manufacturer highlights the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5. It also believes that the smartphone market will make a return.
This seems to indicate that most variable profit comes from the smartphones market.
Yeah, what happens is that it takes effort to keep supporting multiple OS versions. iOS has a history of users being like 90% on the newest OS every time there’s a major update, so a lot of companies only support one previous version beyond the current.
Android is a different matter. It has always been a fragmented mess and new OS adoption has always been very slow (it’s faster nowadays though). Because of that Google maintains a set of libraries that make sure Android features work the same way across multiple versions, which eases the burden on developers.
Wouldn’t any automated system ideally escalate to the next tier of (human) support when it detects something complicated?
In my experience, this never happens. Since they have now very few human staff they make it VERY difficult to talk to a human to the point you often give up.
