Makes sense. Apple's customers are a lot less price-sensitive. And also, memory and storage are naturally a much larger part is the price in a $150 smartphone than in a $1000 one. Apple doesn't do the $150 class at all.
You see that kind of smartphone a lot here in Spain where purchasing power is a lot lower than in the US. Still a lot of people using things like wired headphones too.
