No just because android is wayyyy better. iPhones are marketed towards girls but people fail to realize it.

Yep, definitely bought Z5 because it was cheaper than iPhone... How fucking american are you?
>>
People buy Android, because they are pro choice
>>
>>51311907
Android is cheaper AND better. Just shows how stupid ifag users are.
>>
People buy Android because:

I. Apple is a fucking shit company that overcharges on everything

II. iTunes is a piece of shit and it is ridiculous to need a program just to load files on your device

III. Android phones are a better value for the same price - last longer, tougher, can do more

Yeah because androids are always slow as fuck and hard to use compared to iPhone
>>
I buy Android phones because that's what I started with so I have all the apps sorted. There are also some things that keep me from getting an iPhone such as not being able to have folders on your phone and the retarded cables for Apple that don't fit on anything else and even change every time there comes a new model around.
In essence using Android is just much easier and there isn't anything I need on Apple that doesn't exist on Android so meh.
>>
appel is lockdown mode which is why they call it jailbreaking instead of gaining admin privilages or root.

does this sound like something people who actually enjoy technology and want to get behind the scenes would use?
>>
No they buy androids because they're better. They could easily get a contract and pay $200 for a shitty iPhone or they could get a contract and pay $200 for godly amazing Note 4.
>>
Obviously.
I mean, who wouldn't buy an Apple® iPhone™ if they could afford it? It's the most fancy and shiny phone out there, all your friends will think you're cool if you have one.
Wait, what do you mean Android phones have more functionality, better hardware, and are overall better than iPhones in almost every way while costing half as much? Who the fuck cares about that shit when you can browse Facebook® all day on your Apple® iPhone™ while showing off the cool apple logo on the back that you paid $500 for? Buy an iPhone today!
>>
Who the fuck cares it's a fucking phone. They all do the same stupid shit, all the apps work in both brands I mean they're literally the same and if you don't buy low end one you'll never even notice the difference in speed.

Because that's what iphones are. They're marketed as a status symbol, not something that's meant to be useful. People simply buy them because all their cool friends have them and android is too complicated for them, they need apple to tell them what they can and can't do.

Why even ask about affordability when the majority of people get their phone on contract.

iPhones in Canada are effectively $1000++

But things like the Note 5 are very close behind.

My note5 was $840 at launch, that could easily have paid for an iphone, but I have easily $50 invested in android apps and I have been using it for years, i have used iphones previously and sure they are fine, but nothing revolutionary or better than a good android phone.

Much of the android userbase does for the mid-low end of Android phones (which obviously get much cheaper than iPhones) but when you talk flagship-tier phones it's usually because the person is at least somewhat tech-savvy compared to the average person and prefers one or several of Android's advantages over iOS.

Not necessarily. Plans with carrier subsidized iphones are often cheaper than android equivalents.

Poor people buy cheap phones in general, including used iphones. But poor people are usually poor because they're stupid, so they're not smart enough to know how or why cheap android phones are shit, so guess what they buy? Cheap android phones. They also buy used iphones, but, even if they cost about the same, their retardation often kicks in and they're "too expensive" all of a sudden. because they start with "i". I'm serious. They don't even check the prices beforehand. They just go for what they expect to be cheap.
