my iphone has three primary purposes (in order): music, games, google maps.

phone, lol. if anything iphone is for texting. the phone feature is what makes an iphone a "required" purchase compared to a gaming consoles "luxury" purchase.

saying iphone sells because it is a phone not because it plays games is completely missing the point. if that is all people were wanting an iphone for people wouldn't be paying the incredibly high premium in phone price. $200 for the phone and a $30 dollar data plan with a 2 year contract = $920 more than a standard phone. you damn well better believe people are buying it for the games, music, internet, gps, and other great (non-phone) features.

Music : SURE

Videos : SURE

Texting : SURE

Internet : ABSOLUTELY

Gaming : No Way in Hell!

in your opinion.  i game on my iphone as much as i do on my ps3 and vita.  it's a good platform.

my wife thinks i'm crazy that i think my iphone camera is the best thing ever for taking pictures and would i never consider a dedicated camera.  she uses and SLR.  you are basically in the same boat as my wife, and elitest who can't relate to the market majority.  does that make you a bad person?  no....just wrong.  angry birds is worth over 1 billion and is publically as reconizable as mario.  you're a fool to underestimate smartphones as a gaming platform.
