What iPhone do you have and what do you think it’s actually worth?

Dalvin, great video. I now feel I'm getting great value for the price I pay for an iPhone. I also now understand where the motivation to make money from services comes in, as well as attempts to lock the platform into services that make money for Apple. Ex. app store payments through Apple only

What about battery costs? Feel like that’s missing from here

The worth of the phone is not only the sum of its parts. What about the OS and software that run on it as well as the echo system? There is intrinsic value that has to be taken into account to derive worth which was skipped over.
