"The journalist was slacking some here, The Nexus 5 (and, the LGs and Motorola this last year) are the closest / only competitors to the iPhone that cost $300."

"The journalist was slacking some here, The Nexus 5 (and, the LGs and Motorola this last year) are the closest / only competitors to the iPhone that cost $300." The comparable phones (current flagship Samsung, HTC, LG etc.) are priced at around the same level. Apple has chosen not to participate in the "cheap phone" market, whereas Android has no choice being "open". Apple very arguably provides additional value in security, privacy and a better user experience due to higher quality software and UI design. Have some more sour grapes, Zuck... ;-)
