Steel is actually lower cost and heavier that's why Apple chose it vs aerospace aluminum used in Samsung flagships. Same thing with with bicycles where the low end ones are made with steel then lighter aluminum and carbon fiber/titanium.
Oh great! So that's why Apple's 4000mah phone weighs 226 grams and Samsungs 4100mah phone weighs 175 grams
I had an XS Max and I went back to an X because I just couldn't deal with the weight. 206 grams was a bit too much. I gave up the extra 2 hours of screen on time for a phone I could comfortably hold for hours (need to do that when you're in a long distance relationship lol). I was waiting to see how heavy the 11 Pro Max was without 3D touch, because I remember when going from the 6 to the 6s, there was 15 gram weight increase due to the 3D touch tech, and I felt that. But no, Apple increased the weight my 20 grams.
This guy creates an account on an Apple forum to tell everyone he bought a Note 10+....
I have friends that have the Note 10+ and I even think it's an awesome phone. Should I tell them to create accounts here just to let everyone know?

He has had enough of paying too much for so little. We've all felt this way at some point with Apple products. Sometimes it takes something like buying an Android for a die hard iOS fan to speak out.

So he's had Apple products for years and complaints about them but never decided to "speak out" as you say. He buys an Android phone then says to himself "You know what I should find an Apple forum and post about how great my new Note 10+ is"...
Anything is possible but again
People have created accounts on here for all manner of reasons. Nothing wrong with what he did. It's just an informational/personal opinion post. At least he didn't come here to whine, troll or bash as some folks tend to do with their first posts.
Did I say there was anything wrong with what he did? It inspires me to create an account on an Android forum telling them all about me switching from the Note 9 to the iPhone 11 Pro
Go for it. I think you should. You seem to be questioning his motive in the second post, but maybe I am reading to much into it. At the end of the day, it matter much why he posted

I question everything I read on the internet. One would be silly not to. Of course it's just a post about a phone so in the end it doesn't matter much. I find most posts to be either informative or entertaining in some way.Go for it. I think you should. You seem to be questioning his motive in the second post, but maybe I am reading to much into it.

It is possible it may not even be his first ever post here. My first account was several years older than this one (2007 originally). But I didn't visit for awhile, changed jobs, email providers, etc. and couldn't recover the original one. So I had to start back over at post #1as well, despite having a couple years and several hundred posts prior. Who knows. Doesn't make much difference
Go for it bro! Send us the link. I really wanna see how Android fanboys would react

I should get my friend to do it, he had been using nothing but the Galaxy Note since the original one in.. was it 2009 and finally bought an iPhone X and is now looking at the 11. But when I asked him why he kept buying Samsung Galaxy Notes all these years and could he tell me what the pros and cons of the Note were, the answer I got was along the lines of "I bought the first one and I just don't like change, so kept buying them." Probably the same reason he will keep buying iPhones going forward
I have been an Apple user since the launched of iPhone 4, but nowadays I do have an android device as a spare smartphone.
Understandable.
The iPhone 11 Pro is AU$800 more than what the iPhone 6S was on release.
Both flagships. Ok maybe the 6S had an inferior camera to the 6S+, but that’s no reason for an $800 price hike...
Have tried android many times, as recently as this week (I work in an enterprise and we now support both).
There are too many annoyances as above - death by a thousand cuts.
Never mind things you have to give up like facetime, imessage, integration with other devices, an actual support time-frame, resale, etc.

I have the 6S and it runs great! I've actually just ordered the 11 (non-pro) as I bought the 16GB 6S and it's been pretty much full for ages. Plus I want FaceId, and dual-sim, and a better camera. But the 6S runs well, and once I delete most of the apps from it, it'll make a great backup and/or travel phone.
That is too simplistic. Carbon steel is indeed cheaper than aluminium, but stainless steel can cost many times as much. Steel bikes are almost always carbon steel. Conversely, higher end watches for example are stainless steel - or gold, titanium etc., but hardly ever aluminium. The steel iPhones are stainless steel.
Besides, material cost is not everything, one needs to add the cost of working with it, which depends on what one wants to achieve. Aluminium is tricky to weld, and its surface will need some treatment if it is supposed to look nice (even more so if this is supposed to hold up long term). On the other hand it is soft, which makes other methods of working with it cheaper. I bet a stainless steel unibody MacBook would cost a fortune compared to the current aluminium ones.
At least it's in the non Apple section. And far better than those who create multiple threads when they could suitably use one of the countless others like I see in the Apple section.
Makes sense to me, and I also have (and use) both. I think it is good to avoid being locked into one system, and I feel it provides some perspective on the differences, which are actually rather minor. Both have some advantages over the other, both have some unique annoyances (yes, both - I like iOS, but I really don't see it as the intuitive miracle of streamlined beauty that some die-hards claim it to be).
At the end of the day, both get the job done.
