Not "by the same logic". He called iPhones "luxury smartphones". They're not. There are cheap ones and expensive ones, just like how the alternative platform - Android - comes with cheap and expensive phones.

Lost time because typically Android phones require more maintenance and produce more hassles for novice users, and a budget Android phone is going to have more problems (and probably stop getting updates).

FTR, I haven't owned an iPhone since the original one came out. All Android since. I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who's owned multiple different Android handsets and given them as gifts to family (I've since learned my lesson about that one).
