Cell phones are pure technology. Technology either gets cheaper over time, or price stays the same and functionality/features of value improves.

There is nothing in the iPhone X that makes it worth $1,000 to me. As I said earlier its a decent $600 phone with a $400 logo.

The "of value" for me is the key part. There is very little of value that can be added to a modern cell phone that isn't already there.

I don't need higher resolution. Current screen resolutions are more than is really needed for a 5" screen.

I don't need faster processors. I'm not planning on doing flight simulation or quantum physics on my phone.

I certainly don't need augmented reality. I can barely handle real reality at times.

I never use Nav on my phone and 99% of the time I have the GPS turned off. It's a nice to have but don't need it.

A decent camera is nice, but I don't need 3d. I could use decent low light but that's hard to get in a small package.
