Kinda, if you compare small screen price, which is kinda fair.

Yet look what competition is able to do with $300 budget - 5G, 120 fps screens (although lesser quality), similar (or better) cameras, similar performance, bigger batteries (similar life tho).

And few or no software updates or patches, and full abandonment of a device after at most two years of support.

Meanwhile my kids have hand-me-down iPhone 6s models that are working well, running the latest, fully-patched software after five years of service.

There’s a lot of value in an iPhone besides the hardware specs.

At $300 the manufacturer has to make serious trade offs. I’m sure there are models at that price point with great cameras, or 120hz, or 5g, or longer battery life (actual size of the battery is irrelevant, battery life is the important metric). Is there a model with all of those features at $300? I’m not aware of one. Especially performance, since most Android phones can’t beat the 2 year old iPhone XS.
