At least in the smart phone and tablet market (but not so in desktops/laptops) Apple’s prices are the same as competitors’ products. If you’re an average Joe, why take a chance and pay the same price for second best?

Not true. Apple’s phones cost more than others unsubsidized. You, as a contract signer, do not see the difference because AT&T/VZW subsidize i-phone for you so that it seems like it costs the same as others.
However AT&T/VZW are suffering because of the massive subsidies that they are doling out to smartphone users so I question how long $200 iphones will last![/quote]
