You also pay for proprietary operating system. Which is a main differentiating point of iPhones. I have used all types of phones (iOS, Android, Windkws Phone, Symbian). Apple has the best operating system. It has superior UX, is most user friendly and has deep vertical integration with other Apple products.
That’s worth a lot of money to most users. I think more people are willing to pay premium to get the great operating system compared to hardware which might be secondary.
- koyote 9y agoAll of that is very subjective (and why do you state this as a 'fact'?). If you don't use Apple as your main computer you basically have zero integration. Don't even get me started on interoperability (you can't even use the iPhone headphones on a mac??) That the UX is superior is also highly subjective. There are many things that are either impossible to do or a massive pain to do on an iPhone; I would not consider that good UX (for example try looking at a picture you just took on your camera and apply some filters before posting it to instagram. The only way I have found to do that is to open instagram and open the picture in that app. The notification system is a massive joke. There are dozens of other such examples). What is worth a lot of money to users is convenience and habituality. Having to change your habits, workflow and frame of mind can be quite taxing for some people.
