That Sony retailed for $1300 when it launched

The iPhone goes for $800

The 13 Pro which released around the same time also had USB 3.2g2 and 120hz display. The Pros are clearly a better comparison.

That's not to say Apple's done good or anything, just a super expensive Android device vs the entry iPhone doesn't seem like the best comparison

The iPhone 13 was 2021.

op's post was making the point that a lot of specs of the 2024 iphone 16 were already found on the 2021 sony xperia 1 III. I don't really care about either, and you could use a lot of different 2021 android phones as a comparison. I don't even think the comparison is entirely fair, but to ignore the fact that apple is clearly lagging behind android on certain aspects while hiding behind marketing is just misguided. Also, their phones are just overpriced because of price, and the innovation argument is getting old.

Was gonna ss with the 16 as comparison but it doesn't show pricing. 15 is still $eu600 or greater REFURBISHED. The xperia is $eu 400 REFURBISHED. (SS shows the cheapest on amazon for both.)
