    The only answer is money at that point. I don’t know how much phones are these days, but aren’t iPhones like $1400, but Android is like $900?

    I may be wrong though. Last time I bought a phone was 2018, and it was $600. Still using it.

      You can get Android phones with reasonable specs around $200. No need for the so called “flagships”.

        Oh, I was comparing flagships, because iphone doesn’t have a non-flagship to compare to.

          You probably didn’t do it on purpose, but you made a comparison on Apple’s terms, thus implicitly priveleging Apple.

          Last thing Apple needs is us priveleging it.

            I’m just saying Apple doesn’t make anything close to a cheap stripped down $200 model.

            I made the comparison based on feature set. For that you need an android flagship phone. Android DOES make cheap phones…but therexs no 1:1 comparison for Apple.

      I already tend to buy the expensive flagship models of phones. I buy unlocked and it lasts me ~5+ years, so I get the best phone I can get at the time and make it last, so money isn’t as much of an issue if I were to move to an iPhone.
