Hmmm. Current new iPhone 6s - $449, SE - $349 and plenty of used and refurbished options from $300.

Last year I got a brand new 32GB SE from Walmart for $140, locked for a year of $25/month minimum usage, although I'm just using it as an iPod touch replacement, i.e. not using it as a phone or paying monthly.

Not everyone lives in US with US level salaries.

Also some people like to have the opportunity for once on their life to buy brand new things.
