We're certainly not claiming that Windows Phone is better overall than iOS (or even the reverse). But there are ways that Windows Phone beats current iPhones.
Price
Finally, let’s talk price. Sure, you can get the iPhone on contract for anything from free on up, but you’re still stuck with a contract. If you shop very hard, you can find a pay-as-you go contract, but even buying an old unlocked iPhone 5 from Walmart will set you back $400.
By contrast, there are some very cheap Nokia Lumia phones. Take the one above, for example. That’s an unlocked smartphone running Windows Phone 8, for just over $100. For that price, you could buy the thing just as a PDA or MP3 player and even ignore the phone service. It’s this pricing advantage that’s probably a big part of why Nokia’s done so well in emerging nations and it’s something Apple can’t yet match.
