Where I come from we buy our phones not from a carrier but from a retailer and we are not forced into a payment plan that makes the phones look cheaper than they are. So an iPhone 4S costs from $830 and up, a Galaxy Nexus costs from $770. Both phones are pretty expensive but the iPhone is still the most expensive one. Those figures might be off in the states of course.
- LeonidasXIV 15y agoYes, when I read this argument I thought: "You must be fucking kidding". Just because some companies offer cheaper initial subsidised phones it doesn't mean that the phone itself is cheaper. And it's not. At retail, most iOS products are $100 or $200 more expensive then their comparable Android equivalents (not talking about $99 tablets, of course, but I wouldn't consider them equivalent). When I saw the initial Transformer Prime price I thought that it actually was incredibly cheap compared to the initial price iPad 2, especially considering that it comes with a dock and still is cheaper. At this rate I might be able to afford one when the prices drop.
