Starting next year, Google will begin to verify the identities of developers distributing their apps on Android devices, not just those who distribute via the Play Store.

    Apple is basically the default (at least in the US) so if Android cant offer significantly more theres not much reason to use it

      iPhones are too expensive for some people. Not everyone has $500 lying around.

      You can’t get an iPhone for $100, an unlocked Motorola phone is only about $100, if you get a carrier locked version its like $30-$40 (and you can carrier unlock them 60 days after activation, just get the cheapest 30 day plan will do, you don’t even need 60 days of service to get it unlocked.

      Pricing wise, Android phones will still have advantages, even with google’s autocratization.
