Not even close

They're powerful computational devices that fit in your pocket. You pay the premium for its size

Edit: It's the same reason why laptops and ultrabooks are so much more expensive then their desktop counterpart

Let me rephrase...

The devices being sold for $1k are probably accurately priced for what they are. The fact that some are selling is evidence that people will buy them.

What's ridiculous to me is the fact that companies are building and people are buying these $1k phones. It is absolutely, 100%, ridiculously unnecessary.

No.
No.
No.

the Ipad mini, which is barely bigger than an iphone, does basically everything an Iphone does, yet costs half the price.

Iphones cost what they costs, b/c morons are willing to pay for it. It's literally that simple.
