This is easy, the iPhone will be the best selling device ever produced by man! Apple said so. and no doubt the lemmings will jump through hoops, starbucks' and thrift stores to clamber up to get one.

Just wondering.........without being a smart-a$$........
For those that are basing its $value on the casing being metal or plastic, the implication is that it could be worth Apple Flagship dollars IF it was also Apple Flagship metal.
If so, then how much less is it REALLY worth for not being metal? Or put another way, how much less does it REALLY cost to manufacture the 950XL out of polycarbonate vs Aluminum? (for example)
I can only guess. I have no expertise. But it just can't be but a few bucks. A $600 Apple phone couldn't cost that much less to produce if they used a different material.
I think this is all based on perception and personal taste. (The huge value equation that is constantly brought up based on the shell material)
The specs aren't everything, it's the tight integration of hardware and software. The 6s & 6s plus destroys most current flagships on benchmarks.
Unfortunately with Lumia 950XL and Nexus 6P not in any of those benchmarks makes them useless quote.
As I said earlier if the iPhone did not have that 1 million app count they would have nothing!
Put 1 million apps into Windows 10 Mobile Microsoft would be #1
Microsoft now has the hardware now apps apps apps are needed to become top dog!
That's extreme but we've reached the point now where there simply isn't any interest in WP devices so I have to agree with you. They might as well include the new Lumias as Xbox and Surface purchase bundles and call it a day instead of trying to sell phones.Start giving them away with Xbox's or it is over. That is how they overcame Sony. That is their last chance here. Short of that, they will be done within two years.

Don't forget the iPhone 6s Plus has less of everything specs' wise for premium top dollars! If they didn't have that 1 million app count what would they really have?
There hardware is less of everything.
-dual core
-2GB RAM
-12MP camera
- 5.5" 1080p display only
-2900 mAh battery non removable battery
-NO microSD storage
Etc etc etc etc etc I could go on all day!
I just don't get it? Premium price for app count is what I see. Obviously not hardware!
