Its too much priced. Apple should realise now that they should seriously look in to the competitive pricing.

I bought my first iPhone 4 on a 2 year contract in Singapore and then every two year I re-contract to the next version. Also most of the flagship phones of the non Chinese company when launched are of same price range on contract but in 1-2 months prices start dropping. Apple does not allow the sellers to drop the price and maintains it till the next version is out. Good thing about iPhone is after 2 years you sell it you would get much much better price then a two year old similar cost non iPhone.
I currently have iPhone 6 plus and galaxy S6. Got iPhone on contract and bought S6 on the week it was released paying similar cost of an iPhone 6. Now S6 prices already dropped $100+ by the company in less then 6 months. After 2 years I maynot even get $50 for the $1000 GS6.

And regardless, those who DID want it [badly] already bought it from overseas.

Peoples needs are evolving faster than ever before, year after year survey's show us how consumer behaviour is adapting to new trends.
What was the "norm" 4 years ago in mobile is similar to what a 32" LCD TV was to people in 2000. People weren't "blind followers" for buying something that was the norm, and not everyone NEEDS a 5-7" phone, even today.

In India where we can get Samsung Galaxy S6 32GB for Rs. 33,000/-
Apple Iphone 6s 64GB cost around Rs. 72,000/- (2.2 times more expensive)
No matter who is an Apple fan... India is price sensitive market and third largest market.
There are many patrons looking at apple attitude have shifted to android.
Apple poor performance and worst attitude toward India.
What is price difference between in other part of the world.
Between Samsung Galaxy S6 and IPhone 6s.

i had been waiting for the launch of this 6s in India.but when it was launched i hesitated for the price.. i am ready to spend up to 50000 ($800).But more than that its impossible, even if we buy the 6s at 62000/- they may reduce the price after 2 TO 3 months that will be ridiculous.Rs.62000/- for a mobile is not a normal thing. 6 or 6+ is better than the 6s...
