APPLE will surely have a difficult time keeping up with demand for the "X". That alone makes it worth $1,000 per copy to them. What would you do if people were lined up with $1,000 bills for your product?
For me, I perceive the facial recognition feature as a step backward in user friendliness. APPLE Pay, for example, works more easily with fingerprint authorization. I put my finger on the button and tap the phone on the sensor. Done. With F-R, I'd have to hold it up to my face, then push the side button twice, then tap the sensor. To me, F-R is a gimmick at this point. Both options should have been maintained to keep the phone easy to use.
