Ah, but I think you missed my point. It's rather obvious that the worth of the X (and the technologies it uses) will vary from person to person.
My point was quite simply that in terms of cost, it's not that much different now from how it used to be; the difference is _how_ the phone is paid off.

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.
