The real reason --- iPhone buyers suck at math. Paying $30-40 a month for an iPhone contract is insane when a $250 Android will easily do everything you need.

The real reason --- iPhone buyers suck at math.
Paying $30-40 a month for an iPhone contract is insane when a $250 Android will easily do everything you need.
I ask all my iPhone friends, what does your phone do that mine can't for a lot less?
The response I typically get is just a blank stare or some blatantly false misconception.
- nickthegreek 3y agoAn iPhone lasts longer and has actual resale value. Your argument falls flat.
- jqpabc123 3y agoTypical, irrelevant "Apple" response. Past research has shown that iPhone users are more likely to upgrade than Android --- often whenever a newer model comes out.
- nickthegreek 3y agoI'm sorry... better build quality, more years of security updates, and resale value are irrelevant? I don't feel like you are discussing this in good faith.
- jqpabc123 3y agoHow long it lasts is irrelevant if you don't use the longevity and upgrade every time a newer model comes out.
- nickthegreek 3y agoWell it matters as it directly relates to resale value. I update my iphone around every 6 years now that new features aren't game changing. I get full security updates during this period. I'm not sure there is any android devices that get security updates that far out, which also directly hurts their resale value.
