Total cost of ownership for an iPhone two years old I can take pictures, email/text use the internet, and make phone calls. and by your own numbers I will pay 269 bucks.
Two year old Android buy your own numbers 90 bucks does the same things email, take pictures, use the internet make phone calls.
One has a total cost of ownership 160 bucks plus higher yet both do the same exact things.
BTW thanks for the QED!
"So that makes you a liar, as well as an idiot, trying to change what you asked for."
See this is your problem right here. YOU ASSUMED I was making a request to prove your point If I had asked for such I would have stated it this way, PROVE your thesis post the numbers.
Instead I said post the numbers and you know why. Because as I stated in the beginning there is no logical reason to pay premium for a smartphone when one is doing the actions listed in the previous posts. Why because they all do the same things. And when YOU post the numbers that CONFIRMS my point beyond a shadow of a doubt it not only is QED for my Premise BUT it drives you insane and that Sparky is the best part. Trading in a phone and still paying premium is not saving money in anyway shape or form ESPECIALLY when it is on a contract. Awhile back I asked a question on another thread about Apple why the article stated that Apple contracts tended to be over 100 bucks a month while Android users were about half. It makes much more sense now. You should know Sparky that when I ask you a question I already know the answer. Its called Socratic Dialog its how one proves a premise!
Thanks for Playing. hahaha
Liar and an idiot.
You don’t know the answer. . . because your basic premise is WRONG. Flat wrong.
Contracts for smart phones contracts are identical on monthly costs. Check it out. They are. The up front costs may differ slightly, but the monthly payments are the same. But if you buy a Samsung Smartphone for a down payment of $199 or $99 or $0, or an iPhone smartphone for $199, or $99 or $0, the contract's data costs are the same, voice costs are the same, and texting costs are the same. Your premise is FLAT WRONG! Idiot.
If you buy a dumb Android phone without data, you will pay less than either, because you will not have access to a data plan. You are not paying for data. Simple.
The only thing we’re playing here is how to catch the Apple-hater for the men in the white coats to come and take away ... :-) ...
