Apple - great company but -------

You are missing the software - ios is exclusive to apple/iphone and plays a significant part. No matter how cheap & nicer the competition hardware is, they are still limited by android, nothing else can run ios....

Wrong, you can build an equally capable OS (Android) with better hardware and equal price (Samsung Galaxy S3) - that's an edge.
Personally, iOS was awesome...in 2008. In 2012, not so much. What major innovations have there really been since the initial model, allowing people to copy/paste and introducing the incredible Apple Maps?
