    I happily shelled out $600 for the first iPhone. But $3,500? For a V1 product that will get way better (and cheaper) in the next few years?

    Cheaper? When has the next gen Apple product ever become cheaper?

      scale. they could only make 200,000 or so of these this batch because of Sony’s displays. When they can make tens of millions of them, the incredible fixed costs dither away. the first one costs billions. the billionth one costs

      even apple isn’t usually 600% as expensive as its competition.
