Sorry Apple, gtfo with these prices. 512GB, case, cover, AppleCare + tax are close to $5K. I don't think mass adoption is in the cards if these prices stay.

Just for a frame of reference, when the iPhone was first released it cost $599. Then Apple adjusted its marketing quickly and dropped the price. To calm the angry masses it gave $100 back to the very first buyers. Then as the iPhone grew its features and matured as a product, Apple naturally hiked prices. That's just good marketing. At $399, it was slightly over 1% of take home pay for an average American at the time. Accessories and warranty would set you back another ~$200-$300.


With the AVP, Apple is literally pushing a first gen product that's closer to 9% of the average annual take home pay at launch, and that's before you spend another grand on extras.
