If that was true, then Samsung and many other higher-end phone makers
should be in court as well since they charge about the same price for
their phones as Apple does.

It's a good thing you're not one of Apple's high-priced lawyers given
you're not even aware that Samsung sells a range of phones, from dirt cheap
to very expensive, as do almost all Android phone makers on the market.

Yes, you can but a cheaper Android smartphones from various makers, but
they are lower-end models that use older / slower CPUs and GPUs, lower
quality components, less RAM, etc. to achieve that lower price ... you
get what you pay for.

Again, it's good you're not an Apple lawyer as the quality of most Android
components far exceeds that of Apple's (such as integrated 5G modems).

Not only do most Android phones have better hardware that doesn't even
exist in the iPhones (such as sd card slots) but many Android phones have
screens that are built by Samsung who makes a lot of the iPhone screens.

And all Android phones can run software that can't be run on an iPhone,
so you need to do some research before you'll pass the Apple versus Android
exam, as you don't know the first thing about how the platforms differ.
