There may be a simple explanation for the ratio of Saturn and Media Markt, which seems more or less the opposite of the market.
I never compare prices myself. I buy "in the mood". If infected by gadgetitis, I want to have it here and now.
But for example, yesterday I saw a guy checking Android phones and asking an older guy (probably his father): "How much was it on the web?".
So I imagine, most consumers go for the lowest price.
And maybe, just a thought, Apple rigidly dictates the prices, so there's not a huge difference in prices between the stores, whereas there might be way bigger differences in price for most other brands?
If so, it would make sense to buy your iPhone in Media Markt or Saturn Markt, as you can't get it much cheaper elsewhere.
But maybe you only check out the Android phones and then order from the web way cheaper?
Just a thought. But I wouldn't be surprised, if Apple controlls prices more rigidly than others.
