$99 on contract - it will cost a lot more off contract in other contries, and you have lot of sizes, colors and designs to choose from with other brands. So nothing special there. Only took them 6 years to give people the choice of colors. I guess within 2 years they are forced to give their users a choice of bigger size as well.

Uuuuuh precious metal colors! I'm sure it just made a lot of people blowing their loads.
Fingerprint sensor - have been a 'meh' on lots of other devices for years, but I am sure that now it's Apple it is going to get a lot of attention, and Apple will get the credit for this technology. It will not be the first.
LTE - already in other phones so no revolution either.

Macs aren't the fastest computers. Where can you buy a 16-core Mac today? Link?
They use the same cpu and memory as PCs. Actually you can get even faster memory for PCs, watercool and overclock them more than any Mac in case you are an enthusiast.
Apple don't make the screens. You can buy just as good mobitors for the PC. I recently bought the Samsung SB970D, and I'm sure it is of equal or better quality than one with an apple on it.

In over 10 years I only had to contact Microsoft a few times. It was to reactivate my Windows license key. In same amount of years I have been unlucky to get a faulty hardware two or three times, but with a 2-year garantuee they were easily replaced. No need for some extra money sucking Apple Care when living in EU.

I'll give you a break to think how much you are fooling yourself when you think you only pay $20 for OSX.
