    You can get a new android under $200. And google has their own feature to locate their phones.

      Ok. Which is a current iPhone owner more likely to buy.

      1. The thing that ties into their current services and is a device which they are familiar with to help their kid when questions arise.
      2. Save ~$200 to deal with another service and have to do more work to support the device when questions arise.

      The juice isn’t worth the squeeze before we even get into how many years of updates that $200 phone is gonna get vs the cheapest iPhone.

            I despise any corporate apologists and fanboys. The fact that people complain about interoperability issues tells you many reject your idea.

            The way Apple is going, my next phone will probably be a FairPhone that operates Android.

              Google is way better than Apple for sure.

              Sadly Fairphone isn’t that fair as it isn’t sold in the countries it sources its materials and labor from. Heck of a marketing trick if you ask me.
