      nce Huawei phones become more desirable than Apple around the world.

      That’s not gonna happen unless Huawei is able to become a cultural force or a luxury status symbol, and with it being banned in the cultural capital of the west it seems unlikely.

        That’s true in the west, but Huawei is becoming the symbol of technological independence outside the west. It shows that a non western company is able to make a device that’s competitive with the best western ones have to offer.
