Does Anyone Else Not Understand This

Andriod fans complain about how pricey Apple products are. The thing is that Apple's iPhone and other devices are higher in quality, and have a better value. Think about it, would you rather:
~Pay $300-$800+ for a device with great hardware and hundreds of thousands of useful apps to back it up OR
~Pay $200-any for a device with hardware that's better or not as good as Apple devices, with some useful apps but mostly fake apps
Those are the main criteria that I look for when buying a phone (above) and there isn't really anything else to look for.

To put it in another way, Apple is a dedicated company with great products that always have a final "professional" finish with very good UI and advanced OS, while Andriod is based on multiple phone developers and one OS that is annoying at times. Now, the app distribution and quality gap between both operating systems is ridiculous. Apple has been in business for years and they have so many third party supporters that it has an abundance of different types of apps including professional ones, with almost no piracy. Meanwhile, Andriod has a growing app market thats growing really fast even though it's relatively new. The Google Play store has great apps, but not as legitimate as the App Store. Andriod has a lot of piracy because of its browser open for downloading and flash support. What else? Andriod can actually get viruses and its turning into a PC market! Samsung recently released the Galaxy S4 and it has hardware that barely any apps fully utilize! This is because of the uncontrollable amount of new phones released for andriod. For example, I know a person who bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace when it was popular and after a few months he noticed that the apps got slow and the phone got extremely annoying. Developers can't keep up with the different screen sizes, the different processing capabilities and the increase of demand per phone, thus the decrease of app updates. Apple app developers don't need to worry about anything other than the recent iPhone 5 screen size increase. Anyways, even though Apple limits users from getting into the OS software and tweaking things, jailbreaking is an alternative and it's actually legal! People say that jailbreaking isn't legal but it's not true since you have to manually access illegal software online after jailbreaking. So stop going around saying that iOS is a waste of money, because it's not. Props to the OS names, though! I mean, Andriod Ice Cream Sandwich, Jellebean, Gingerbread is fun.

TL,DR: Wait a few years before buying Andriod phones.

P.S. I didn't include Windows Phone and Blackberry because nobody really criticizes them and they do what they do.

Apple manufactures their products in china, child labour maybe? I am currently using an iPhone 5 and let me say, the on and off button is not stable and I have only had this phone for 4-5 months. Talk about great quality.. I am looking for an upgrade to a nexus 4. And yes the iPhone is overpriced. 500 is ok but 1000? Wtf.
