every time i hear any news about Apple it makes me want to vomit and throw out all my computers and go live in a tent in the wilderness.

[citation][nom]frank_drebin[/nom]yet they don't seem to get as many paid apps in Google Play ...[/citation]

This explains it:

[citation][nom]Kami3k[/nom]Because many are free and why pay for a app that I will stop using 5 minutes later?[/citation]

[citation][nom]ap3x[/nom]His comment was off base but how can you guys complain about the iPhone being overpriced while looking at your $700 phone? Not clear on that.[/citation]

iPhone without a contract costs just as much or more in most of the countries. And that $700 phone is most likely Nexus or Note, not just some lower-tier phone.

[citation][nom]Alchemy69[/nom]Don't you think that Apple deserve to profit from their inventions? They invented the mobile phone, the tablet, the mp3 player and in a few years time they will have invented the television, too.[/citation]
Ha invented the mobile phone?!!? Invented the tablet?!?! The MP3 player?!? Wow wither you live under a rock, an idiot, a troll or an apple fanboy (who therefor also a complete idiot);
1-Year 1973,Motorola developed the first mobile phone
2-Year 2000, Microsoft Tablet PC, hence the first tablet
3- Audio Highway announced its Listen Up player on September 23, 1996
4- Oh wait, your trolling... 😛

Android can't die, as I'd like to see someone stop the distribution of open source code. Even if google somehow got knocked out of the picture, I'm sure there would still be android phones being made. They'd have different app markets, UI, ect.
Even if companies as a whole stopped making them, Android is popular enough in the mod community to be made for phones even after it's possible demise.
Example: Windows phone dual-boot with android anyone? I loved my HTC Diamond for this specifically, even if the phone is acient by today's standards.

Overpriced is mainly opinion, If Steve Jobs wiped his nose on something, sure what ever it was would sell for 1000%+ mark up. However, to the person who bought that piece of nose rag... would they consider it over priced? Sorry to sound like a douche, it was just the first comparison that came to mind since this is an Apple discussion Steve always comes to mind.

iPhone is often called overpriced for it's performance and such, not for having a high price.

Sounds way more expensive than the 200-300 bucks my iPhones cost on contract! Sorry to hear you got duped into overpaying for an underperforming device, bro!

The expensive Androids are only beaten by the more expensive iPhone 4S in graphics performance and often win in CPU performance (with how CPU bound the smart phone games are, this is still an important win for Android).

Besides that, you don't even mention what iPhone you have, so there's no way of knowing whether or not you're even remotely right. Besides that, the Android as bought WITHOUT a contract, so of course it's more expensive up front.

EDIT:

Also, if you want a price comparison, then compare the prices with either both with the same or a similar contract and/or the prices for both without a contract. That's far more fair than coming to conclusions based on a price comparison that compares one phone with a contract to another without a contract.

Just looking at Newegg, the Samsung Galaxy S2 is cheaper without a contract than the iPhone 4S is without a contract, despite being overall, a better phone. The S2 has a faster CPU, a lot more memory, an easily accessible MicroSD card slot, and other advantages.
