#& most of the cheaper options aren't running the latest version of android either

[transfaguette]

Android vs iPhone debates need to end <3. They aren't even comparable. Android is an open source operating system. Anyone could, right now, make an android device. So there are a lot of cheap (see: affordable, accessible) android phones out there. They may not have all the hottest features or the greatest cameras, but they're INCREDIBLY ACCESSIBLE! Plus, you could drop the same amount of money on a higher end android phone and get the same, if not better performance and quality as an iPhone, with the added bonus of having a lot more options to suit your needs. But most of the criticism of "android" simply comes from the fact that there are a lot of cheap phones that run android. And it's annoying and classist.
