Also worth remembering that depending on how you value inflation, $700 in 2008 when the iPhone 3G launched is somewhat over $800 now.

A more interesting question to me would be how the average buyer's cellular plan has shifted over that time — people tend to focus on the phone prices but not the greater monthly service charges.

Countered with the deflation of getting more capabilities for the dollar. Even a current lower-tier iPhone is much more capable than many flagships from a few years ago—never mind things that weren't even dreamt of, like 1TB of storage.
