> $1999 is ridiculous.

Plenty of people on HN earn that much money in a single day after tax.

That's about $675k/year, assuming a 35% tax rate. I think that is a small fraction of HN users, but more to the point, if your argument is that the phone is not expensive if you make over $500k/year, I'm not sure that is a compelling argument...

It's also more than the cost of an iPhone Pro + a MacBook Neo (or several other combinations).

I'm just not seeing the value proposition for a $2000 phone. I already can't comfortably hold or type single-handed on the normal-sized Pro.
