iPhones last five years until they go out of support and can no longer install or update most apps. An Android phone will last at least as much on OTA upgrades

iPhones last five years until they go out of support and can no longer install or update most apps. An Android phone will last at least as much on OTA upgrades and OS support alone, and many of them can be made to last far longer once the OTA upgrades are up, by taking the time to unlock them and install the latest Android version they will run.

- scarejunba 8y agoA homeless person has more time for that. Their time value is lower and so the gain they get from the difference in price between the Android and the iPhone is huge. They don't care about security updates and all that shit. They don't care about new features. Just not an efficient use of money. I have an iPad Pro and a MacBook Pro. I only just switched from an iPhone this year. I'm not anti-Apple. But the idea that low-wealth individuals should buy anything but an older Android is ridiculous. I can still use a Nexus 4. It still works.
