They use android because they can't afford iphones, not because "you can do more" with androids



You can do more with Android because you don't have to sell a liver to afford an Apple device.


And where did I say that?


You said that "people use [androids] to do stuff" as if you couldn't do stuff with iphones.


I said the open, cheap and ubiquitous nature gets it into the hands of people who care about doing things. The implication is not that you can do more rather that you can do the same without spending as much on an iPhone (especially since in most of the world people buy devices outright).

And it's the truth. You can do the same with a $400 Android as a top of the line Samsung/Apple device save some games...
