Personally, I don't see the price difference just in hardware or functionality, but in software and support. When I buy a premium iPhone device, I pay for future years of security updates and optimizations. I also pay for kind, instant support online or in a network of certified resellers or Apple stores (if I'm lucky to be near one at least in EU). Some people like to tinker with their devices or even have to from time to time when an app/service goes amok. I pay extra to not deal with that, because my time is worth more, then wasting it on things like that. Now compare that to a sub 100$/€ phone.
