Why are IPhones so expensive compared to other similar smartphones?

They are not greater than every flagship device on the market, so why are they so much more expensive than its competitors?

Many of the components of the iPhone are not made using outsourced labor. Meaning that they are manufactured in the United States where minimum wage laws are in place and the cost of living is higher.

Becoz of the fu**ing brand! Apple iOS brand is a ***! Buy Android phones! I hate apple users much like the way apple users hate android users!

I think apple use high quality components that is the tolerances are close to the values needed. That makes testing every one of them has to be inspected. Most other companies use lower specs to make there equipment
