I’m still an Android user. Fact is I have Tracfone. I only pay for what I use. I talk on the phone maybe 60 minutes a month. I don’t text. I use maybe 30 minutes worth of data time searching the net using my Android.
I would buy an IPhone but I am not going to pay Apple $80 a month for my minimal use of their service. When they get something going for those of us who don’t live on the phone, then they will sell even more phones.
Why would they want to do that? They can't make enough iPhones to satisfy the demand they have now? Why try to satisfy the bottom of the barrel people where there is no profit. That is where the Android market is for companies who are making ZERO profit. There are only TWO companies in the cellular handset business industry making any money at all, Apple with 93% of the profits and Samsung with 9%. . . and the 233 others with posted losses on the books which allows a 102% profit total.
good points i also use my phone very little. We.... are an anomaly. I work in downtown Los Angeles and on my walk from the train to my office every day, I see thousands of people. It is almost as if i am walking in a human version of a line of ants. Everyone except me, it seems, is walking and either looking at a cell phone or listening, texting or talking..and I even include the walking wounded, the poor or insane in that..(free Obama phones- most likely with them).. I do use my phone, but I am not tethered to it.. So again, my point is that we are outliers.. we are outside the norm, and they probably don’t feel there is profit to be made on our group. and i agree, i hate paying that ATT tab for the amount i use this smart phone.. I did try the Walmart Straight-Talk phone, and did not care for the connect ability.. cheers ....its nice to hear from a kindred spirit out there!

You don’t pay Apple $80 a month.
