Premium Android phones are just as expensive as iPhones and come with worse software quality and shorter support periods.
$Maybe in the us but elsewhere the apple prices are nuts. I bought new s23 for 800$. There is no fucking way I'd pay 1200$ for much worse iphone.
Agreed, the prices for Android are much better when non-US tariffs are involved.
Except you can buy a pixel A series which will work just as well as the most expensive iPhone just slightly slower. I'm at about 3.5 years on a $350 pixel and still it's the best phone I've owned. Yes I know you can buy cheaper iPhones too but aren't they phasing that out? Like you now normally would have to buy a 1-2 year old model to get a price similar to that. My pixel was brand new and 4-5 months past release I think
With 5 years of support too
Base iPhone is midrange device, not a flagship.
