You can get Android phones with reasonable specs around $200. No need for the so called "flagships".
Oh, I was comparing flagships, because iphone doesn't have a non-flagship to compare to.
You probably didn't do it on purpose, but you made a comparison on Apple's terms, thus implicitly priveleging Apple.
Last thing Apple needs is us priveleging it.
I'm just saying Apple doesn't make anything close to a cheap stripped down $200 model.
I made the comparison based on feature set. For that you need an android flagship phone. Android DOES make cheap phones....but therexs no 1:1 comparison for Apple.
Yes, I think that's exactly the point people are trying to make to you.
i have a phone for less than $200 and it works fine.
