Apple vs. Android

       Apple (the company, not the fruit) is one of the most famous smart-device makers in the world. But personally, I think their technology is way overpriced for what it actually is. For instance, the oldest iPhone still being sold regularly is the iPhone 5s (as far as I know), which still can go from anywhere from $200-$400, depending on storage capabilities. That might seem cheap in comparison to Apple's latest models, but then when you compare it to a cheap Android, it seems outrageously expensive. I was able to get my LG Android for around $150, with more capabilities than the 5s (I'd say it's on par with an iPhone 6, which is currently going for about $400). So what's the point of buying an Apple device if you're being cheated for it? Is it perhaps the fact that Apple is more famous? I doubt it, considering the Android OS is made by the even more famous Google, and the actual phones are made from tech giants such as Samsung, LG, Motorola and more. I personally think that a lot of people are too lazy to look into or see something that could save them a lot of money while providing the same reliability that Apple does, and instead just cheat themselves. And I've seen this happen multiple times in different scenarios, too, so it's not like this is a new idea or bold statement. For instance, my grandparents have dreams of moving away to a nice, secluded location, but never take any steps to actually fulfill that achievement, and just cheat themselves by living in misery (even though they don't realize it). Always follow your dreams, and unless you don't want to waste your hard owned money, Apple shouldn't be a part of that dream.
