I’ve been questioning if android is even profitable enough for manufacturers to justify it in the US, like apple has the largest market share in the US and I see that everyday. Nearly every phone I see is an iPhone. The android phones I do see are rarely flagships.

    I’m sure other manufacturer’s would build iPhones if they could.

    But they can’t so they have to compete against other manufacturer’s in the Android marketplace.

    So…Are Android phones cheap because they’re unprofitable, or are they cheap because direct competition actually incentivizes those companies to control costs?

    Maybe the question you should be asking is: “Are iPhones really worth the ballooning price?”
