What to Buy: iPhone 5C vs Google Nexus 4?

Why compare these two? No real reason except that Apple touted that their new "cheaper" iPhone was targeted at the same market that most Google devices are designed for - folks like me who have an aversion to contracts, like to own the device right off the bat so we can choose the service provider with no strings attached.

Truth is, you cannot really compare iPhones and Android phones because it's never an apples-to-apples deal but more like apples-to-sweets! iPhones have a different operating system, app echosystem, architecture, the works. Android has come a long way and it's no longer the inferior product but the other flavor.

Sad that the folks in Cupertino, CA did not deliver on the pricing especially because it still feeds that perception that they don't make products for regular folk. There's a benefit to doing that but I think they've squeezed that market pretty good and it would have been great if iPhone 5C were a good faith effort at expanding their user base.

But that's My Take!

What's you flavor?
