Is the Apple iPhone Overpriced? - by Chris Simpson

Costing about $500 or $600 (depending on the specific model), the Apple iPhone might seem significantly more expensive than its Plain Jane cellphone counterparts which only cost $100 to $200. But let’s take a closer look at whether it is a fair comparison.

Apple’s products, like Japanese manufacturer Sony, have always commanded a premium in the market.

While it’s easy to say that a similar cellphone might cost significant less, and represent better value for money, is that really the case?

For starters, Apple has emphasized a great deal on the design and ergonomics of its products, as well as the usability of its products.

Witness the Apple Macintosh.
When released in 1984, it signalled a revolution for users everywhere.

With VoIP, instead of using traditional land lines to make voice calls, you use a broadband connection to the Internet. That allows you to bypass the telephone company (to a large degree) and thereby avoid their charges.

This also allows VoIP providers to bundle add-on services that regular phone companies charge for, such as voice mail, call forwarding, and call waiting. It is the digital nature of VoIP that makes this possible.

When you look at the numbers, VoIP services cost about half the cost of traditional phone services. One big reason is that many VoIP services in the United States and Canada allow you to call anywhere in North America at no extra charge. So long distance charges are completely eliminated. This is the cash cow of the traditional phone companies.

Of course as VoIP becomes more widespread and is generally adopted by major telcos and cable providers we can expect these fees to creep back in. Rogers Cable in Canada, for instance, offers free phoning across Canada only to other Rogers customers.
