Pretty sure if I paid $1000 for a phone I would want it to be the fastest.

You're in luck. There are plenty of Android phones that cost over $1,000 just waiting for you.

Ah, but that's just it - I didn't pay $1000 for it. I pay monthly installments over two years, which is how long I expect to have the phone. At the end of the two years I'll sell the iPhone X for ~$400 I expect and upgrade to whatever is newest at the time.

I consider it more of a "self-administered lease" than a purchase. My total cost for the device will end up being about $600 over two years, or $25 / month.

In which metric? Don't think you get the fastest in all metrics for that low a sum. Especially with all the other top-in-class features that also matter to people.

Yeah you're right. It's hard to put a value on these things especially when people value things in different ways. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure Apple makes quite the margin on the iphone x.
