The "non-premium" phones are where most of the remaining market is. Phone fanboys of all types tend to dismiss these phones as junk and they would have been correct a couple years ago. But that is not the case today. For example, the Moto G and Nokia 520 are truly good phones offering a good user experience and are fully capable of doing what most people need a smartphone to do. The 520 goes for less than $100 off-contract, the Moto G $180. Both are incredible values. Apple has nothing to compete in this important and rapidly growing market.
I think the days of $600+ phones selling in such huge numbers are coming to an end.
