  Android is on most phones because Apple is those that want to control everything. When you control everything, you can sell at very high profit margins. Say, the phone manufacturing cost is $150, now if you want the iPhone, you can only buy from Apple, they sell at $1200, it's either you take it or you don't, they control the pricing. If you don't have the money, then go away, that's Apple's attitude.

  All the talk about innovation is crap when you consider how they want to sue competitors for making phones with similar shapes. That's stifling innovations by removing competitors from the market so that they can continue to sell products at very high profit margins. So thank God for Android coming to the rescue, you can get cheap Android phones for like $150 bucks.
