For the Performance Inequality Gap series, I'm gathering new data points in charts that I'd only talked to in prose in previous years. One of those is the difference between the various market segements looks at by price, with the Flagships clocking the new, unlocked cost of the fastest chip in each line, while the lower-end lines capture the mid-tier and low-end segments from various manufacturers.
The blue line that has never bumped above $375? That's worldwide average selling price.

- Each of the Flagship lines represents the new, unlocked price of the cheapest phone containing the fastest chip in each group. Meanwhile, the Budget and Low-End segments try to capture where the offerings in those ranges are from relatively consistent manufacturers over the years at ~$250 and ~$100, respectively. The blue line is the worldwide ASP, not including refurb or secondhand. As ever, the "i" in "iPhone" stands for "inequality". (remote)
