I’m genuinely curious what $150 phone beats a $1,000 iPhone
Comparing the iPhone to its more available competition in the US (where iPhones dominate) it’s not that much, if at all, more expensive than a similar spec Pixel or Galaxy phone. And the reputations of neither Google nor Samsung are any better than Apple.
I use an iPhone now because I got sick of the volatility of Android. Android is constantly being “refreshed” with gimmicks and cosmetic overhauls. New apps are created and sundowned after 2 years. Lots of bugs/quirks that you just learn to work around, like WiFi randomly dropping so you have to reboot once a day. Feels reminiscent of Windows in that way.
Just like with non-Apple phones, you can buy a used iPhone for much cheaper. Yes the current year flagship models will be very expensive, over $1,000. That will also be true for any flagship Android phone or even a Huawei (e.g. the Pura 70 Pro is $1,300)
