re: Is $1,000 for a phone that ridiculous?

In my opinion, yes, by a lot. Disclaimer: I'm cheap to begin with
If my phone was vital to my ability to make money I'd consider spending more. But, if I can get a phone for 250 and build a pc for $750 I'd rather spend my money that way. Besides, 2 weekends sitting in front of the pc doing side work pays for both of them.
Personally I just don't see the need or point of spending that much on a phone.

What am I missing out on with my "cheap" phone?

Just saying, there probably isn't one thing you use more in life than your phone... is 1k that insane of a price?

Hell you can get a Galaxy S7 edge on swappa for $250. What the hell can a $1000 phone do that it cant?
Its 100% status symbol.

I just think that we're conditioned to think that these phones aren't actually supercomputers because of all of those years of a "free" phone with a 2-year contract. Now that we actually are paying for the phones, people don't see it that way anymore.
