Not really. Almost everything else runs Android which is only marginally better. The only devices where you really have full control over your device are barely functional, and cost more for lower specs.

- jsjohnst 5y ago> cost more for lower specs That's in part because of economy of scale, but also another major factor IMHO is the subsidizing by other revenue sources (App Store commissions in case of Apple/Google, advertising/essentially spyware in the case of some others).
- thayne 5y agoThat might be a small part of it, but I think the economy of scale, and inability to buy the same parts at the same price as the bigger players is a much larger factor.
