I was just trying to point out, that if you purchased an iphone for the hardware only that it was (for the basic iphone) only about 16% more than a fair price of what you would normally expect from another vendor. And, a lot of people purchase iPhones because they like the genius bar, design, access to new applications which are likely to come , etc.. No arguments from me on the overpriced accessories from Apple though.
