Every Android phone is an iPhone killer. Android owns ~80% of the market, to iPhone's ~18% [1]. Having many price points turns out to matter a lot; but, I think even people who are not price sensitive often prefer Android (I certainly do). I've loved every Nexus device I've owned...the pure Android experience is hard to beat, IMHO.

How many of those Android users use an Android because they can't afford an iPhone?

I dunno...but, does it matter? Price is also a feature/benefit that people consider when choosing a phone. A killer feature, even, for some consumers.
