Really? You're likening to buying an android smartphone to customising your own whitebox and installing a nonvendor OS?
This is exactly what apologism sounds like.
EDIT: I'm a power user. I bought an android phone with 2.1 one on it.
Total number of OS installs: zero. I've never changed the image on this phone.
Total number of separate parts bought: two. I bought the phone, and later bought a microUSB cable so I could charge the phone at work as well (it would have been the same with an Apple smartphone, except that the cable would have cost more)
I fail to see how buying an iPhone would have reduced my need for separate parts or reinstalling the system.
