With the iphone, you are paying for the software more so than the hardware.
The ui is far better than anything available elsewhere. You as a tinkerer enjoy spending time messing about getting this and that to work. The iphone lets none tinkerers have a decent gadget without all the messing about. As an ex tinkerer, now converted to non tinkering and trying to have a life outside of tinkering, the iphone is a fantastic piece of kit. As is OSX, as is Apple stuff in general. Yes its more expensive, yes it isn't always the latest greatest hardware, but god dam, the software is amazing.
