Please keep this based on the thread topic. The issue is, Sprint has a contract it has to fulfill, and has to sell them. So what better way to do so than to give a $10/mo cheaper plan than the Android phones that may meet or "exceed" the iPhone's specs.
In my opinion, as a person who owned a Nexus 5 (and various Android devices which shall not be named) and multiple generations of iPhone, I'm a very informed person. So it's not about people who "know nothing" as your opinion states. I own an iPhone because of what I am used to being a long time Apple user. And the iPhone is a "must have" device, just like a Blackberry is a "must have" for security purposes, and a Windows Phone device is a "must have" for those who prefer so. Everyone has a free choice to pick which phone they want.
And I get more than what I pay for when I buy iPhone's. I own a Mac and an iPad. And my old iPhone I give to my friend so she has a newer phone than her last one, so then my phones get maximum life for the price I paid. My iPhone 5, my 5S and my 6+ are all being used actively on Sprint, and my last 2 phones work fine. In fact, the 5 only sat around for about a month with no use since I bought it in March of 2013, and my 5S only sat about a week since I bought it in January 2014. So iPhones are worth something, just like Samsung's flagships and LG's flagships.
