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.

The whole point of it all is innovation though. Everyone wants the things they own to be able to do the most.

If phones were only for calling and everyone felt that way about everything, cars would all only cost $10,000 and would only get you from point A to point B. Instead, you pay a premium and get lane assist, dvd players, handsfree calling, etc.

It's basically 1,000 for a phone, camera, computer, and personal assistant
