Are iPhones overpriced and overrated?

Some iPhones can cost up to $900. I'm not paying $900 for a phone. Why is it that expensive? The only thing I would care is texting, calling, and Facebook app.

Added (1). I think I'd rather have a Samsung Galaxy

Nope and Nope.
PPL prefer samsung because its cheaper and made of plastic.
the iphone is a far superior phone

An iPhone is so expensive because it is a fashion accessory great phone but not worth near its price, in my opinion the galaxy s3 is much better, apple basically said it too.
From what you need the phone for I'd suggest getting neither just buy an older android phone on amazon for around $70

They're way too expensive and so are the Galaxy phones. People who say Apple is the best are clearly wrong. They are way better phones out there and I prefer a phone with a removable battery. I have a LG Venice that does all the same things for 300$

Even though i love my samsung galaxy s 3, iphones are a good phone aswell but i do think they are a tad overated bevause they have become somewhat if a fashion statement these days, now people like having the apple logo on their phone, but the problem with an iphone is if you drop it even on carpet it will easily smash the screen, if you drop pretty much any other phone it will not smash as easily, also there's a little screw on the bottom of the iphone that can ve unscrewed to take the battery out, apparently only an apple employee can unscrew it and knowing apple will charge you with a hefty bill, either way its really your choice if you get an iphone but i suggest an andriod

Hell yes they are! Why would you spend $900 on a phone when you can get a phone with more features for $600 or lesser? Apple's just lame and boring.

They are overpriced because of the brand name. As soon as you put "Apple" on a new product, it raises the price dramatically. If you want a phone for basic stuff. I recommend a Sony Xperia or a windows phone like the Nokia Lumia. Hope this helps!

The new galaxy cost more then iphone 5… Lol!

Yes and yes. Overall, Androids are more powerful. The gs3 can easily overpower the iPhone 5.

  • Why don't iPhones work well? IPhones break easily and are laggy? Hi. I have an iPhone 5 and I have many problems with it. Whenever I type on my iPhone 5, the texts that I type come out like 5 seconds after I type them. It's very unresponsive and lagging. My previous iPhone broke in just 2 years. Is Nokia a better brand than Apple?
  • Why are apple products so overpriced? I'm never paying $300+ for an iPhone This is one of the many reasons capitalism is going to fail
  • Why are Apple products overpriced? - 1 I do like Apple and their products, but I think that they are pretty overpriced for being as simple to use as they are. I'm gonna get an iPhone 7 Plus soon and I loved my 7 plus I had before, but I just don't understand why Apple products are so expensive. I know part of it has to do with marketing and quality but what else makes Apple products expensive?
  • Who is/was a better dribbler of the ball between Maradona and an overrated Messi? BQ: Which number is Neymar supposed to wear at Barca? Let it not be 7, he will be arrogant and compare himself to the legend, CR7. BQ2: Are there people who still use a computer to access the internet while there are ipads, androids, iphones, windows phones, tablets, etc?
