Not entirely true because this assumes people continue to consume the same amount. The provided value of the service is unchanged, so you would expect some drop in purchase as the price goes up.

Luckily for Apple the choice for alternatives is small as long as you're trapped within the Apple Ecosystem.
And changing the ecosystem is hard for most so now it's just the exercise to find out how much you can rise the price before people jump ship. I'm quite sure there is much room left for people who are ready to pay $1000 for a phone.

It seems to me that almost all app spend is optional. Sure, there is no other App Store to buy from on the iphone, but just buying less apps overall is an option that people will take.
