People are smartening up.
That’s actually not true.
There are more active iPhone users today then there were a year ago.
Sales are actually great according to apples financials, much better than everyone else.

Yes they are worth over a $1000, perhaps not to you but the market has spoken on the matter.
For reference, The Moto RAZR was over 1000 dollars when it first launched and was a huge success, it’s funny because no one brought up value at the time, every one just wanted one.

It does make me think about all of the equipment and resources that would have been required 15 years ago in order to accomplish what today’s smartphones can do with ease. I’m sure $1,000 would have been a drop in a bucket back then.
iPhones also last much longer than android, not to mention 5-6 years softwares updates.
Stainless steel construction; nvm storage, best speakers, best battery life, best and only mobile display that is capable of Dolby vision, best soc, unmatched, 8core npu, Uwb support.... and that’s comparing the iPhone pro to other android flagships not android budget phones.
Have a look at a company called vertu, 1000 dollar phone from them would have been a bargain.
