At around 4x the price? It's not replacing anything.
- intended 8y agoIf apple made it with stylus control? Sketching and note taking with One note? There’s a new product line.
- coryfklein 8y agoAt the current $2k pricing it would certainly be an upgrade, not a lateral replacement.
- closetohome 8y agoThe multiplier isn't as important as the total cost -- under two grand isn't exactly an impulse buy, but it's also not prohibitive.
- shhehebehdh 8y agoEh. Plenty of people buy iPhone Xsen even though it is 3x the price of competent midrange phones. Another 1.5x multiplier on a $1200 Xs Max doesn’t seem like an insane deal to me for the added feature if you’re a mobile media consumer. Maybe Samsung has learned from Apple: the profits won’t be found down-market.
- adventured 8y agoFoldable devices like this won't remain $2,000. It's not replacing anything today. Tomorrow it will when you can buy good devices that are comparable for $600 or $700 and Samsung is forced to compete on price.
- bunderbunder 8y agoAt a (admittedly hefty, but not prohibitive) premium over the combined price of a higher-end phone and a tablet. The whole idea is that you're getting one device that can do the work of both.
