Apple's iPhones are still some of the most sought after phones... but Apple
does not join the race to the bottom (though you can buy older models and
the like for less).

But the high end Android phones seem good, too. Great: choice and
competition is good for a market. I am happy to see it.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
