Are you insane? Why is 999 MINIMUM in your poll? For me it is maximum as 700 USD == 900 EUR here for Apple with VAT and that is 1000 USD .
I’m not totally sure phones will ever reach a $3000 market, and that’s not something I would be willing to pay for a communication tool primarily. It really just depends what somebody values and what they can afford.
I paid $250 for 64GB SE. I don't game and am not glued to my phone all day so I don't see a reason to pay much more than that.
The last iPhone I paid for was my current 6s+ 128GB.
I paid ~$900 for it (over time).
But it was the maximum capacity available.
Apple is now charging the same price for the bottom tier capacity models. So on top of my other reasons, I'm out.
There are other things that $1000-1500 can go for.

Can't vote on this one. A phone is a phone to me. That's it.
If they do release an X Mini, I'd probably buy it. But not for $999 though. Then I wait.
But that's after not spending much at phones at all. I'm on my 3rd iPhone
(Had 4 & 5 and now SE)
Probably $1200-$1300. Prices don’t really bother me nor do I complain about them. I run a successful business and my iPhone is my go to device. Emails. Calls. Text. Social media. Safari to view customers websites. Waze and google maps for addresses and info. See I use my phone 85% of time of the day for business. If it’s my go to device. Use it for business purposes. Then I don’t care what it cost. The phone value is peanuts versus what the business generates in a year. Yes I know not everybody runs a business from an iPhone but some of us do.
I’m willing to pay a carrier device fee of $30-40 per month, as I have been for the past four years without really noticing. The actual service plan is pretty cheap so the device fee doesn’t bother me.
I don't know that the price is the only thing for me to consider. It's not that I won't pay it, but if we are now living in the price zone of computers, then I will likely begin to move to an upgrade cycle similar to computers. So instead of upgrading yearly, I would move to every 2, 3, or even 4 years. And if I cannot get that kind of life out of the device then I would start looking elsewhere.
I paid the $1500 for my 512gb Max, And if it wasn't on the AT&T Next program... I wouldn't.
Apple is getting a little elitist on their prices, and I'm not going to accept the increase every time. I've hit that ceiling, and if I were buying the iPhone outright.. probably $1k max.

It all depends on how the different options compare with each other and with what I already have. I paid $849 for my 6S+. I probably would have gotten the XS Max if it was $999. But as it is, I plan on getting the XR, because I don’t think the XS is $250 better for my needs.
Nice try apple accounting department.
Next time don't be so obvious with your thread.

Whatever price Apple puts out there, I’m paying. I like their products so far. I’m not hurting either. I’m debt free and smart with my money. Only hard spending I do is on electronics. I make enough as well. Either way, for what a small device does nowadays, that’s the crazy part. The call and text that a phone is suppose to do is not even the highlight anymore. Seems like the price is fair for what it does. Plus, the company has to make money. That’s the point. And as long as consumers buy at the price point, they keep going.
