It’s not cheaper. I never bought a second iPhone after my first slowed down too much to be useful after a software upgrade 1.5 years into the phone. They’re designed to be useless after 2 years of service. My Samsung on the other hand is still going strong 4 years later. I need extra storage on my phone for work which Samsung allows with a flash memory card. Over all value goes to Samsung.

What you’re mostly paying for with your iPhone is advertising.

Funny...my iPhone 5S is three years old and has just as much battery as the day I bought it. Goes for a good 3 to 4 days on stand-by, 2 days of use.

Yours must just have sucked.

It is less expensive. The iPhone 6S with 64GB is $849. Here is the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on sale from Amazon.com:

Yeah, that's right $959, $110 more!
