Phones and laptops are *expensive* in much of the world, which is why Android accounts for 80+% of device shipments and the average selling price, worldwide, continues to hover near $300 (new, unlocked) even as high-end devices accelerate in price. There are just that many more sub-$300 devices being sold for every trade-up of a wealthy user from a $400 to a $1K phone.
