Google Pixel phones cost as much as an iPhone. Same for Samsungs and other high end phones.

??? Maybe top-end android phones do, but the vast majority doesn't. Mid-tier phones like the Samsung A54 cost $450, and chinese brands can get you a decent phone for as low as $200.

The OnePlus Nord N30 for example has almost everything an average person would need in a phone and it goes for $230 currently. 120Hz screen, 8gb ram, 128gb storage, 5000 mAh battery and a pretty decent 108MP camera. If that isn't cheap, I don't know what is.

Most of the people I know have moved on from high end to mid-tier phones. The spec difference doesn't warrant paying twice as much anymore imo.

    Mm, true. But it’s still not the same. But of course for a lot of people it’s a solution. Personally I’d still prefer an older refurbished iPhone than using Android. Actually, I did buy older iPhones in the past. I’m not a teenager, someone just likes Apple philosophy in design software and hardware
