It's interesting how Apple have driven AppStore prices towards a race to the bottom when they're selling premium priced hardware.

If less money was being spend on the devices would more be available for apps, of would it turn out like the Android ecosystem where everything is cheap too?

People are spending even less on cheaper android hardware. So it might even be the opposite, that since you bought an expensive hardware you can at least pay a couple of dollars for that app that you could also get for free. You don't buy the cheapest tires on your expensive car ;)
