The big issue here is that it’s both the carriers and the manufacturers who make money off the crapware that’s preinstalled. Many Android phones are generally cheaper by hardware spec compared to iPhones specifically because someone is making money of the preinstalled crapware.
Don't kid yourself, phone cost exactly as much as the company selling them can charge. They don't lower the price because they are making money off the crapware. It only increases their profits.
Android phones are cheaper than iPhones because people are willing to pay more for iPhones.
Your carriers install crapware?
Never seen it happen, but I also don't buy into the scam that is carrier phones subscriptions.
so you are superior, but you also are superior? I mean, you'rereally superior...
