iPhones are such a dogshit product and I genuinely have no fucking clue why there are so many ardent defenders of Apple. Like Apple is so blatant about being a shitty greedy company who make worse products than everyone else and charge more, but somehow people still lick their boots and act like elitists for spending 1000 dollars on something that my 150 buck Chinese phone can do better.
Probably not so much of a problem anymore, but Android phones used to have a lot of crapware from the phone manufacturer and/or carrier and you couldn't expect more than a single OS update. Android phones are a good deal at $100 but I wouldn't want to pay $700 for such messy UI. Google's Nexus and Pixel as well as Motorola and OnePlus catered to the enthusiasts that knew what they want but these have never been big sellers in the West.
They also genuinely make texting with any other phones extremely difficult. Like I can send videos to people without iphones fine but when I send one to an iphone user it comes through in like 180p.
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)

They make android phones use an ugly text color when they text you.
