Just a clarification: I meant annoying compared to what you know is possible.
I've had an iphone 4 until recently. I used a moto e while traveling. I now have an iphone six.
The moto e was great! It could do anything I want to do, and was very cheap. Meets all my needs.
But....using the iphone six is simply a smoother experience on a number of factors. So while the cheaper phone meets my needs, the more expensive version is ultimately worth it, given the considerations I outlined in the original post.
For a bunch of people who i. use their phones a lot, and ii. aren't THAT price sensitive, this will play out. Could apply to higher end android phones too.
I run a business, so that increases the use of having a smooth operating phone. I manage some work stuff using it.
