Imagine If You Didn't Hate Your Mobile Carrier

Universally positive comments about the iPhone -- when the question of the quality of the iPhone isn't even at issue -- is the hallmark of the Mac cultist. There, if you are going to make an ad hominem attack, base it on some reality like, I did.

My POINT was, if you can bother seeing anything outside your rosy-eyed worldview, dithers, is that BECAUSE Apple has only one, high-end phone, and that US carriers do not generally even offer high-end smartphones from the likes of Nokia, then OF COURSE iPhone users will be happy, while people stuck with old Razers or throwaway loss leaders from other makers are going to have less satisfaction. The fault is with the operators and the selection they offer.

Do you even know the difference between a Verizon and a Samsung?

The problem with this analysis is that the iPhone is one of the first smartphones in North America actually supported by one of these major mobile carriers, who normally bundle cheap models by other makers into service plans to compete in volume in price. So those satisfaction numbers are not representative.

Also you seem to confuse handset makers with service carriers. What difference does it make if you have an iPhone or a Samsung if the AT&T coverage in your area is dubious?
