I’m genuinely curious what $150 phone beats a $1,000 iPhone

Answer : not sure what you mean by beat, but if it involves having similar or even better specs then I found 2. Both cost less than $150 where I am. Take a look. I have compared them to iPhone 16 plus which goes for a bit over $1000.

Bonus: you get headphone jack and expandable memory with both.

Lots of bugs/quirks that you just learn to work around, like WiFi randomly dropping so you have to reboot once a day.

Been using the same dirt cheap android for 6 years and never had this issue. Maybe it's just your model? Sure there are bugs in android, but then you can look at all the battery drain issues in literally every iOS upgrade. link

Point is: no phone is bug free

I don’t think that is enough information to make a meaningful comparison. For example, megapixels is a poor basis for comparing two camera systems, especially today when the photography arms race is located primarily in the post-processing. Battery size means little when separated from the software it is driving. Two displays of equal resolution can have different quality in terms of colors, contrast, peak and min brightness, etc. Not to mention some intangibles like 5+ years of software support from Apple that I doubt will be provided for a budget Android phone.
