Certainly your comment evokes deja vu -- same old criticism of Apple that is based on tired old characterizations from 15 years ago. I don't think there are any competitive phones available for half the price (there are certainly inferior phones available for half the price).
I do think it's priced a bit high. I'm surprised it's not $50-100 cheaper. Maybe they have iPhone 4S inventory to get rid of (I don't understand why they're keeping an old phone with obsolete cables and screen format around otherwise).
- pavlov 13y agoIt's the kind of vintage criticism that didn't generally apply to products that Apple made in 2002-12. Look at the iPod nano. When it came out, it replaced the very popular iPod mini with a completely different design and internals, and the price was part of the surprise. It certainly didn't leave room for comments like "same old tech sold at higher margin, safe design borrowed from Samsung, twice the price of the Samsung Yepp."

- mehrdada 13y agoI am a big fan of the Nexus 4, but it is objectively inferior: it lacks LTE, battery life is probably far worse, and it has worse screen than 5c (just look at the screen in sunlight and see the visible digitizer dots). Also, Nexus 4 pricing is the exception, not the rule.
