Too bad it's too expensive for anyone to see it. Hopefully the tech filters down over time but if no one buys it hard for that to happen.

Cost is pretty interesting. When the first iPhone came out I think it was around $600. Probably a year in when it finally was available I asked a friend who could get phones for cheaper how much he could get it for and he said around $500 and I balked and didn’t buy it. I was barely out of university making basically student pay but $500 for a phone was unjustifiable. To think a few years later they’d reach $2000 was inconceivable. Looking at this it’s starting high and it really sets the market up in the future for it being high and will probably continue going up to some degree. I also don’t think this will be refreshed each year which is why the tag is high.
