I think I mentioned somewhere in this thread Apple did try to slow old phones and got busted. They had to pay like 500 million or so. But it was like 25$ per customer and that didn't help those poor guys since many thought the phone has gone bad and bought new phones. There is no doubt about the quality of Apple phones but decided if it's worth the price is a purely personal decision. I never could justify their prices and haven't even bother checking what they have. I wouldn't pay more than $400 for a phone and I found Samsung is great then I could recent Readme phones are even compared to prices and proformance. This performance is also a personal choice. I didn't buy mine for the camera, I bought it for battery life, and its the power of running without any lags.

Apple having only one phone model has its own pros and cons. Yes, they can focus on the quality of this one phone, with fewer headaches. But when you have a quality product some customers don't see a point in upgrading unless it's necessry. Do they have no problem trying dirty tricks either.
