The idea of having a 5.5" Apple is very appealing. Look at all the Apple stores and different telco dealers out there: they're all sold out of the 6 Plus. Some Android people are switching. I just don't think the outright price is justified.
Contract pricing is ridiculous, as well.

One could look at this from another angle. With Apple selling 4 million in the first 24 hours and close to 10 million phones in 3 days, one could argue that Apple is selling their phones to cheaply. Right now the demand is outstripping the supply.
If they truly were over priced, wouldn't the market indicate that by less sales? It sort of happened last year with the poor sales of the 5c. Apple's "discount" phone was grossly overpriced and the sales of the 5c showed that.
Personally, I think the prices seem high but it could be because it seems only Apple, Google and the One+One advertise their unsubsidized prices. It seems everyone else only market their subsidized prices. As Photon has mentioned earlier, the Note4 is priced at over $900.
