What's this?

Free market's a bitch


iDevices are absurdly priced. Yet people keep falling all over themselves to buy more, so why should Apple sell them for less?

For the same $650 you'd spend on an iPhone 6s, you can get an (Android) Nexus 5 ... last year's flagship model ... for $150 or less. Then go and re-buy all the same apps you already paid for in the iStore, and still have $400 left in your pocket to go with your phone that is every bit as good as the iPhone.
