1. Apple takes Apple tax. It doesn't go into their treasury but to the development of next iPhone
2. Apple makes one of the most secure phones on the planet. They gonna charge for it.
3. Apple makes its very own OS. It isn't that easy. They have to pay to their software developers, they don't work for free. Some of you might say that Apple earns from Macs and iPads but even Macs and iPad need development. A product can't grow without development. Androids are cheaper because google develops android and other companies make hardware.
4. Apple guarantees you five years of iOS update while most of the androids guarantee 3 years(Yeah I am talking about S series of Samsung) so they have to make the hardware accordingly. You know what, even iPhone 5S is getting iOS 11 update.
5. Apple makes its own processor. Apple has the fastest phone processor on the planet. A10 fusion chip (used in iPhone 7) is faster than snapdragon 835(used in note 8). Processor is the most expensive part of a phone.
6. There is just one series of iPhone which are of high range so their profit margins seems too high but companies like Samsung have their profit distributed so when they profit is collected, its more than the profit collected from iPhone.
7. Apple gives you a special feel. When you are in a crowd and take out your iPhone, people feel that you are rich. After all they will look you as a rich person only when you pay high.
8. 98% of things Apple makes on its own. It costs money. Android phones get their parts from different companies like snapdragon, it doesn't costs them much to assemble the parts.
9. Apple mainly focuses on processor. Many people laugh on Apple that it just gives you 2GB RAM but that 2 GB is actually better than giving 8 GB of RAM. People get focused on RAM and ignore processor. I have iPhone 5 and it has just 1 GB of RAM still my phone works with 35 applications without any lag and most of 1GB androids get stuck at 10 and again, processor is the most expensive part.
