This is a common and poor use of the appeal to motive fallacy, you assume because he makes it clear he does not like the iPhone, you try to knock it down by stating his ulterior motive for disliking the phone, disregarding other things he might not like it for. These things include specs, features, better quality for some phones and cameras, the ability to completely customize your android OS, wide manufacturers, and the list goes on.
It's also quite illogical to state this too, plans can get you any iPhone at $199 for some carriers, hell, for a monthly payment of around $35 dollars, AT&T's next installment allows you to get the phone with a minimal tax pay on it when you walk in the door.
No, that is another assumption. He is clearly stating he believes the phones have a weak resistance to dropping i.e. a low durability.
There is clear reasoning as to why people would think this.
This is a myth.
