It's also more than the cost of an iPhone Pro + a MacBook Neo (or several other combinations).

I'm just not seeing the value proposition for a $2000 phone. I already can't comfortably hold or type single-handed on the normal-sized Pro.

I base many of my purchases on how many hours per week I use them.

In terms of usage hours, my mobile phone comes out near the top. This makes the price almost immaterial.

your underwear must be expensive!

For most people this can replace an iPhone Pro, a MacBook Neo and their iPad.

For those people, $2000 is a good price for a device that does all their digital work.

The correct price comparison is between an iPhone Pro and an iPad Mini, in the US that would be $1199 + $599. So for an extra $200 you don't have to carry and charge 2 devices. Not a terrible pitch.

Sure, I guess, but I don't have a Mini, or any tablet for that matter. I used to and found the form factor didn't meet my needs. I'm happier with a phone and a laptop.
