Not just expensive, they're also environmentally unsound! They use more power to charge, more plastic for casing. Hooray?
Android is superior and I'll die on this hill. Want a phone built nicer than an iPhone? Here you go. Want a cheap phone because your on a budget or it's not important to you? Here you go. Want an operating system you can configure to your liking, or even install your own version of it? Here you go. Want a headphone jack? Here you go.
Just wait until android phone brands also remove all physical connectors
I can still buy an Android phone with an aux input I think I'll still be able to buy a phone with a USB port. Android is about options. But nice hypothetical, it really brought a lot to the table.
Ok, they will have cables, but "Android is about options", yet it's hard to find a phone that does not have a rounded screen, a notch, or a screen embedded camera.
Honestly I'm using a 7 year old phone and I've almost given up on finding a new one with sensible hardware. In the last years android really became much closer to iphones, and not to their advantage in my eyes.
