Huawei is getting better over apple?

Contrary to popular belief, Huawei isn't really Apple's direct competitor.
Huawei and other companies like Xiaomi, Oppo, One Plus..etc are competing with Samsung instead.
All of them are competing for the sub-$500 market in smartphones, which 90% of the people in this thread seem to agree that "cheaper prices are better".

No one is able to even come close to competing with Apple at their $700+ average selling price, and at that kind of volume.
