Comment on Android isn't cool with teenagers, and that's a big problem

Well yeah, of course teenagers will just want the most expensive thing, regardless of whether it’s actually any better.
Teenagers are largely stupid. We all were.

? Google Pixel phones cost as much as an iPhone. Same for Samsungs and other high end phones. Cheaper iPhones are available refurbished, and are still better than same costing Androids even if older.

??? 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.

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

iPhones around here cost double the price of Samsung’s flagships, Central Europe

I cannot confirm. Galaxy Fold 4 costs as much as the most expensive iPhone, and the Galaxy S23 Ultra still costs more than the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus

Mmm, true, I forgot about Samsung’s constant sales on everything

The price of Google Pixel 8 Pro is wayyyyy to high. 1000 euros / dollars.

It’s actually more in Italy. It’s just 200€ cheaper than a 15 Pro Max
