People drop $1000 on smartphones all the time. It might be expensive, but it's not unobtanium anymore.

    An iPhone 12 with bumped storage and sales tax is about $1000. Apple probably sells roughly 200 million phones a year that cost at least $800? I'm not sure how many premium smartphones Samsung sells these days. I'm not sure how you can consider that another universe? It's a pretty big market right here on planet Earth?

      ??? but almost no one buys the iphone at their full price. e.g. here if I want an iphone 12, it'd cost me 249€ with a mobile plan (https://m.boutique.orange.fr/mobile/details/apple-iphone-12-5g-bleu-64go https://m.boutique.orange.fr/mobile/details/apple-iphone-12-...)

    FWIW I think it is ludicrous too. I'm just saying how it is.
