I really like Apple products, I've owned everything from mac laptops, to ipods, ipads, and iphones.

That being said, their pricing just seems outlandish at times. I got a 32 gb Samsung GS3 last year for free (on contract) and added a 64gb micro SD card to it for about $70. That's 96 gb of storage space. In order for me to get the max storage space Iphone it wouldve cost me $299 at the time, and I would've had less space. Also, IOS was feeling pretty stale as I was coming from an Iphone 3GS. It was a no brainer to switch. There's no way that the gulf between the top tier android phones and the Iphone is worth $200-$300. I actually could see myself switching back to the iphone becuase I like the seamless integration between my macbook, ipad and the phone. But I'm not paying ridiculous prices in order to do it, especially when my android phone has been at least as good of a platform, if not better in some ways. I feel the value Apple offers with the Iphone has decreased dramatically.
