I would bet that consumers with those higher-end phones would purchase apps at a clip similar to the iOS consumers. But you can't expect the rest of the Android market to act like high-end consumers.

Agreed, which is probably why app developers tend to start with IOS since people with IProducts are more willing to spend money and the programming is easier because there is only one version to worry about.
Now try to tell that to the people on the various boards that I post on who complain that the App they want is only on Apple or is too expensive and why are they charging so much.
There is a good business reason for the disparity in apps. People should buy a device that does what they need it to do. Take a look at the app stores and see what is available and make an informed decision. I needed an IPad to do what I wanted to do. Other people are fine with a cheaper Android. Cool enough
I just get annoyed with the people who want the cheap Android who then complain about the apps available on IProducts and not on their Android. You should have looked first and not simply bought what you did assuming that all things are equal.
