Are telescopes with phone adapters more expensive?

Yes. However buying a telescope with a phone adapter included, especially if it’s a first telescope, is a value proposition. What you pay extra in the price of the adapter is less than what you would pay buying it separately.

Can I use the phone adapter with other telescopes?

Yes, the phone adapter that comes with the telescope is interchangeable with other telescopes. So if you already have a telescope but are looking to buy another one (if you have a Dobsonian and are looking for more portability) and you go with one that includes a phone adapter than you can use it with your current telescopes as well.

Are the phone adapters dependent on the phone’s operating system (iOS or Android)?

No. Most adapters are independent of the operating system of your smartphone since what they do is external, namely matching the phone camera to the eyepiece of your telescope.
