You are just thinking iPhone. There are many Android phones on the market that are woefully underpowered for anything beyond store demo mode.

Yes, but that's battery degradation. Cheap Android phones are inadequate out of the box.

Also, despite Android fanboys getting triggered, I never said that there are no good Android phones. There are. And the median Android phone is more powerful than an iPhone for the money (especially non-US models). The differentiator is that Apple doesn't ship iPhones that are too awful.
