People don't buy them for the price they'll buy bigger phones. That's it. That's the whole story.
They have to make the phone cost $300 less to sell in meaningful numbers. Why do that when they could just not make them at all and sell fewer models at higher prices?
Yes, $300 was for the current flagship back then.
exactly, profit margin. people aren't upgrading every year like they used to, so they have to make up (some of) that lost profit by increasing prices.
