... 3/4
The only reason I would buy an iPhone would be... because the hardware is great? Heck no. The hardware is trivial to replace/repoduce. Samsung makes far better hardware, IMHO, and I've never had a Samsung phone. It's the interplay between hardware, software, ecosystem, luxury brand status, and vendor lock-in.
People don't buy iPhones because they're great phones. They're GOOD, but pretty grossly overpriced phones.
