One thing about iPhone has remained superficially largely the same from the first iPhone. Even though we now have the Touch ID inside and the square is no longer present, the iPhone's round home button is largely the same as it was back in 2007.

Perhaps there is a reason people use Apple products besides following Apple? Just because an iPhone doesn't have the same tech specs doesn't make it an overall inferior product.
Excellent customer service alone is a premium I will pay for, the operating system is very stable and secure, and the phones look nice on the eyes (at least for me). It's a personal choice in the end and it's unfortunate that others need to make fun of other people's business.

Who do you pay the premium to? I know it isn't from Apple because those "geniuses" are morons and Apple itself can't even be bothered to check new updates for bugs before pushing them to users.

You might argue that it is a matter of taste, except it is hard to tell a Samsung from an Apple without looking at the logo on the back. Heck, they are so close that Apple has sued AND WON. Of course since most smartphones look like evolved Windows Mobile devices from before iOS or Android the main differences in design are color, size, and how much space is wasted on bezels.
I think iPhones do, at least, have good, even excellent, cameras in them. Being that photos are shared, that would fit into their marketing policy... that appearance is everything.
