Isn't therr career subsidies already heavily at play ?
Having the actual price partially swallowed in business rebates or scaled into years of monthly charges changes the optics in term of price and the option to afford "luxury"
- ethanbond 4y agoIt's probably that using an Android device remains an extremely poor experience. I was an early adopter, a root mod developer, and an open source believer. Even I got tired of hoping for the experience to rival iOS "next year" after 5 years or so. There's really nothing clever going on. People prefer good products over less good ones.
- makeitdouble 4y agoNot saying you’d like the current experience, but it’s a lot different from the early days. I used iOS first and android here and then, keeping a middle tier device officially for testing, and privately to see what goes on on the other side. Up until around the last Nexus phone, I agree it was pretty bad. Not unusable, but with very little upside. I completely switched with the Pixel 4a, and it’s a very good experience with very little downside. Still waiting to see what comes from Apple next week before buying my next phone, but I’m not seeing myself going back to Safari and iCloud if it’s just incremental improvements.
