By "computers" I assume you mean "phones and tablets", because Apple is still a small minority of the world's desktops and laptops.

Even then, ask yourself: Why do so many people pay $800 for an iPhone instead of $200 for some Android?

They didn't become #1 by selling $99 developer accounts.

Because Apple has managed to make their mass produced commodity products be a status symbol.

I don't understand the comparison you're making, because both kinds of phone are available in a wide price range.
