If this was true, Apple would not be the major US player.

Everything you mentioned doesnt cost $500, it cost $200 on a nexus a decade ago.

I used Nexus a decade ago, and they didn’t even have simple video calling figured out. There was a new app every month.

Also, a Nexus wasn’t $200 in 2014, and in no way was a $200 mobile phone in 2014 as good as a $500 iPhone (or any other $500 phone).
