Apple's $650 flagship will probably continue to do fine. But the $450 phones really got a lot of mileage from being "free." If you were buying a phone in 2012 from a normal contract carrier, there really wasn't any way to pay less than $450, because $450 was $0.
With real pricing, a $350 phone is $100 less, and anyone who was considering buying a two-year-old phone to save $200 is probably very interested in saving another $100.
