Iphones does not provide value for money. Apple should have alteast sold 64Gb version for $650 rather than making customers fork another $100 .Currently I brought a lumia 640 LTE AT&T model for $30 and cannot believe the improvement Microsoft has brought . Great battery life and cannot expect anything more for $30 .

Iphone 6s 64GB should be priced around $500 and 16GB version should be ceased

    check your facts man! AGAIN!... :D

    "It cost Samsung $255 to make the Galaxy S7, the same it cost it to make the Galaxy S5 two years ago, according to market analysts from IHS."

    Same IHS "Estimated iPhone 6s build cost pegged at $211.50, iPhone 6s Plus at $236"

    Quite far from your $120...

While Samsung screen alone costs $150, and the whole phone $250-$300 - yet sells for the same price as iphones. Apple phones are most overpriced ..

          Actually sales are going down because Apple made their products too good and the value for money is great, so people use their current iPnones and doesnt see reason to upgrade, because the current device is so good already.

          Studies are also saying that lot of people are waiting iPhone 7 which makes lot of sense.

            I don't know why apple people fools. Recently a study declared that for apple it only cost 10000 to make an apple 5SE, but it selling for 40000. People are running behind quality in lowest price. Change your mind set apple.

              Anirudh, 18 Apr 2016If Apple reduces the price of SE , it will sell more becaus... moreMost people want bigger handsets, which is why 5+ inch phones dominate the market.

              You are correct that Apple would sell more SE phones if they lowered the price because it would be a more affordable option to people who would otherwise buy something else.

                Well its because of their overpriced products. Come on Apple ! Giving us Recycled phones with a apple logo at the back will not fool us to buy your products anymore. Remember its 2016, People are getting smarter and practical, also the competition are getting tougher because of the companies that releases low price smartphones with a high end specs. You must release a product that justifies its price point not just the logo itself.

                PS: Ditch the 16gb !!! ITS 2016 MY GAD .

                    it's just a phone. no need to waste a lot of money for just texting and calling.
                    if you want to do serious tasks, you better buy a laptop, you can do anything with that.

                        So according to you maybe one buy S7? because 6s selling a lot better than S7

                        Also your "few" is tens of millions.

                          iphone sales are declining, they just don't want to admit it and try to mask it with false news. The main reason why iphone 5se is cheap is because no one is buying expensive iphones anymore, only few people buy it.

                                        Also, the model without the "s" has traditionally been a release that doesn't have anything that impressive. Just a way to suck more money out of their customer's pocket.
