Which is still twice the price of a normal phone lol.
what is a "normal phone" to you, apple has over 50% marketshare in both the US and UK. iphones are, by definition, "normal phones".
the days of iphones being the expensive/overpriced option are over, with 1200+ android flagships being common
Pixel 7a:
iPhone 15 pro 128g sales for $1000, at 75%, is exactly twice the price of Pixel 7a 128g.
Comparing a companies budget phone to another companies newer halo phone is just an unreasonable comparision. The iPhone 15 pro also has many features that the pixel doesn't.
For 429 dollars you could get an Apple refurbished iphone 12 mini (so same warranties and stuff as a new phone), which has a more powerful cpu, higher storage options if wanted, a brighter display, face id, etc. Obviously, you also lose features. But the reality is, its not some simple one side is good value and the other is overpriced garbage.
oem authorized repair also applies to apple, and with almost all the same caveats
It isn't if the halo phone sucks. Like, if the Pixel 7A - Google's budget phone, crushes the latest iPhone, imagine what the flagship Google Pixel 8 Pro does to it...
