    There are already rumors of budget IPhone,
    http://blog.gsmarena.com/alleged-budget-iphone-gets-priced/
    So much for apple not needing to lower their price, and frankly speaking android is their top competition and is obviously one of the key reasons why budget IPhone rumors starting to fly-off.

    Anyways you seem to be sensitive as well when it comes to apple, mine is merely an opinion piece and out of practicality, anyways I'm just stating an opinion, I'm not trying to deviate others from buying apple products nor I am trying to convince people sony products.

      If you want iOS for you OS you choose you have only one option and its iPhone, its that simple. Apple doesnt have competition agains other iOS OEMs like android have, so they dont need to lower price. So simple you can say the prerium price is iOS and iOS ecosystem and all the gadgets for that. You only get them if you choose iOS and sametime you might lose soething. If you buy android you get something else, but for example cant get such a wide collection 3rd gadgets for you device.

      While we have so many cars in carstore, it still not that hard to choose if you like one brand and like how it feel how it runs etc. People tend to buy same brand car again. Why? They know it, it feels familiar, thry have had great experience with it and they like the product.

      Same for phones.

      For example I would never buy your xperia v, but its your choice and im not going to talk about it, so why you are and so many others so obsessed to talk about other people choices (if they own iPhone or buying one)? Let them use what they ever want and let them pay anything what they want for that, its not your business.

      Also If you want to pay for example luxyry wristwatch and want it to be exactly specific brand or you just like the how it looks you pay the premium price for it, right? Even theres lot of cheaper choices, but you just know that you want the more expensive one because you like that more.

      Also you showed something interesting about yourself, all of your phones are sony ericsson, doesnt this bring any bell? Why you all your phones have veen sonyericsson?

      I myself owned w800i and used it three years or four, then i tried iPhone and im still on that road, so why you can choose sonyericsson again and again, but i cant choose apple?

        Good try apple ship..... I have been using galaxy note from 1 and half years not single problem I have face. As had u stated ... lag, slow performance useless future balblabla.... do u know there is task manager in android to kill unwanted application which runs in background. Just do Iit and your phone will run like charm. Cause android support true multitasking. Not like your belove iPhone. ..Galaxy Note = iphone 3..4...5... counting

                I once owned an iphone 4s but dumped it for a Sony because the iphone technology and style is behind the times and the ios don't have the appeal to me it once had. Glad I did it.

                  And when the devices sells so much with that price, there's no need to lower the price.

                  When iPad came it was much easier to choose the price, because there's already smartphones which uses same tech and if you have noticed Apple iPad is same price than other expensive tablets.

                        it just say that Apple doesnt sell lowcost phone so ofcourse the profits are bigger, while for example samsung selling twice as much lowcost phones than their galaxy phones.

                        Get it? If samsung sells as much galaxy phones as Apple iPhones, their profit of course would be lot bigger.

                                The fact that they have a very huge profit margin speaks a lot on how much the phone only cost to build, now Imagine this, In the Philippines, it cost around 600$ to 800$ depending on the model, when you already know that the phone only cost 200$ to build, it`s kind of hard to swallow.

                                As for the IPhone, we actually have two in our office, IPhone 4 and IPhone 5. I get to play with it sometimes and my comment is it is smooth when navigating, although it is kind of annoying to go to a lot of places just to turn on the wifi or the bluetooth(non JB), occasional lag when popping out the search keyboard, and occasional lag when inputting in the search text, but nothing major, nothing to complain about either. But let's just admit to ourselves that with all the options we have as of today its getting harder and harder to justify the premium price IPhone is asking for, this ain't 2007 anymore, and IPhone ain't that magical anymore, it doesn't have enough WOW effect anymore. Off topic, I'm more curious of WP8 right now than IOS, I haven't tried it yet and i`m looking to get a secondary phone, lumia 620 seems to be a good option LOL.

                                  First of all Iphone is a good product just because customers buy it, second - all current samsungs are just ugly but powerfull and inovative, third - htc one has the best design IMHO but people buy s4 more than One what proves again that Iphone is a good product :-)

                                  Be patient and respect each others opinion. Use IMHO when you compare 2 things cos otherwise it sounds like incompetent persons weak try to prove that he is right :-)

                                  good luck

                                        What about the phone itself? ;)

                                        I make this very easy for you to understand, why people buy different price cars? Bikes? Guitars? Anything which you can buy one with very cheap price, but actually might want little bit more expensive one.

                                        Maybe the expensive bike is just better drive but you cant know it before trying? You dont see that from reading bike specs. Or same for guitar, car etc. But when you try both you might notice that its different? Maybe other car for example running more smoothly? Feels better when you sitting in the car?

                                        It same for iPhone, you cant see from spec list why the price is more expensive, you notice it when you actually owning one. I dont say everyone still likes iPhone, but its total different thing to actually own one.

                                        You know iPhone have won about every customer satisfaction researches, last was in samsung homeland. It doesnt come free. The product has to be very good and iPhone is. No matter what the iHaters say.
