I work in phone repair. If you're happy with your $129 phone then perfect! I'm not criticizing that at all, and many people would also be happy with it. I will say however that many people will be looking into higher end android devices though, and for the Samsung series they're often over 200$ [0], while iPhone screens are mostly under 30$ [1]. That's for our store to buy the part, before charging for labor+fees, etc. After fees you'd be looking at ~300/350 for an S8 and ~85$ for an iPhone 7/8. Not sure what it's like with the newest iPhones, those don't really come in often for repairs (yet). Just pointing out that android phones are usually more expensive then iPhones to repair. I've personally used cheaper devices and they were just too slow for me, but it's all personal preference.
