Why is iPhone 5 more expensive than Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2?

Your paying for the name.
They're all great phones. It's more so what you're looking for in a phone. Myself, I have the galaxy s3 and I live it.

Because Apple thinks it can charge a premium for their products and the stupids out there pay it.
They're no better than Samsung products and in many eyes worse.
It's all marketing. Nothing is real.

Apple has its own marketing plan. They know and it is a fact that there are lots of Apple fans would pay for products Apple released even with very high price. The price is not only for how much the product worth in fact but the brand's value.

It is more expensive because its just one more thing Apple can control. They like to keep control rather then allow the end users to have it and they are greedy. They refuse to give anyone a break, they won't even allow the carriers to sell their devices when first released until they have been selling them for awhile themselves. Then once they do the carriers are not allowed to reduce the prices even if they want to as they will loose the rights to sell apple devices if they do.

The IPhone is not as good as the Samsung Galaxy s3 and they even use Samsung parts in it as they know Samsung is better.

Well it is the better phone.

Arrogance
The price paid or tariffs commanded (no demanded) by iPhones… On any every network defy logic and gravity
THE NOTE II AND AND SGS 3 ARE BOTH QUAD CORE

The IP5 has 1.2Ghz Dual Core Processor which NOW matches that of the multi award winning[ inc T3 Phone Of The Year 2011] SGS II 1.2Ghz Dual Core Processor

That the IP5 was released 18 MONTHS AFTER the SGS II and the SGS II HAS the missing 8, well

With iPhone, you are definitely paying a higher price because of the brand behind in, in my opinion!

Just because it's apple, they set the price higher to make it seem more premium, which people are willing to pay because the majority of customers melt in apples amazing customer experience

Because my mom will not buy me a galayy 3 ineed one bad

  • Will the iPhone 5 be significantly more expensive than the iPhone 4S? Basically, will the pricing for a new iPhone 5 be the same compared to the current iPhone 4S? Or do you think it will be more than the price of the iPhone 4S now? I'm contemplating just waiting for the iPhone 5 to buy a new phone but if it's going to be significantly more expensive than the iPhone 4S then I don't know if it is worth it.
  • Why the iphone 5s is more expensive on ebay than in the apple store? I'm not complaining or anything just want to understand why would anyone buy it on ebay or what could be the reason why it is more expensive on ebay. Usually it is the other way around and on ebay you can get better deal but seems like when it comes to iphone 5s it is not the case. But why?
  • Why is the new iPhone SE more expensive in the UK than the US? The price for a 16GB in the US is $399 (£282) and the price in the UK is £359, thats £77 more for the same thing?
  • Why is the iPhone 5 more expensive than the iPhone 5C? Well iPhone 5C is newer and had a little improvement (not much of a difference, I know) but why is it less expensive than iPhone 5? They are still selling iPhone 5 here in our country I'm wondering why the price of 5C is lower than 5 even if it has sort of improvement.
