apple fans buy it coz the price is expensive enough to show off, and the android is cheaper than apple to own... mostly branding and OS problem.
Android OS can hv many choice of brand but IOS is the only apple. Just like window OS vs OSX pc.
Not all buyers calculate by spec, if then why nokia 8850 cost 3k+ those day and same function as normal nokia 6610. why ppl still buy 8850.

yes, many ppl can afford, but willing fork out is another story...

Conclusion money is the choice...
