The barrier to entry for an android is incredibly low. You could trade in your iPhone to get an android. There is choice in the market place, exercise your own freedom and switch to android

I really get it man, I was originally not gonna take the offer (it was a take it or leave it, not a situation I could sell it) since I love all the open systems android uses. Unfortunately, I've been buying androids for the vast majority of my life and they just haven't been that usable for me. It's not like I'm giving money to apple anyway since I'm not buying anything from them and I would really benefit from 3rd party apps since I used to use them on a daily basis on my android.
