$2,000 for a smartphone? HA HA HA...........

Agreed it's a high price point but also thought that about the iPhone XS and people still didn't flinch to pay that for face lock and animoji's.

Somebody please make a foldable vr.

Like, a foldable VR headset? Wouldn't that be Google Cardboard or similar?

Something smaller, that fits into our pockets perhaps but with its own screen.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I want a phone that I can read books on, and spend quality time with, rather than reading crappy stuff like Twitter. I fully expect to buy a foldable (not sure which one) and would easily pay $2500+ for it. (It's not like I can buy laptops any more, since those are all garbage even when I pay $4000 for a supposedly high-end system, so I certainly have spare device money laying around!)

All laptops are garbage huh, that's a hot take.

The macbook and it's 3+ year butterfly keyboard debacle or windows 10 laptops with all of their spyware even when high end being his only 2 practical choices is what he is probably referring to.
